Persephone widened her eyes. It was her ex-boyfriend, the mistake of her four years in university—the youth she misspent, the jerk she misjudged!
She had inherited most of the excellent genes from the Hamertons, especially loyalty. Since entering university, she had fallen for this poised and handsome senior. She had poured her heart and soul into their four years together. Yet, on her graduation day, he confessed that he had fallen for someone else...
"Sephy, I'm sorry. She's the daughter of the chairman of the company where I interned. Being with her could spare me 20 years of struggle... Please understand, I want a better life!"
At that moment, Persephone almost crushed the cup of bubble tea in her hand!
Her parents had always taught her to keep a low profile, not just due to their humble and cautious nature but to avoid unnecessary trouble. As such, after attending the international kindergarten, she had private teachers at home starting from elementary school.
Even in university, she never disclosed her family background to any classmates. They assumed she was a bright student who had earned her way in.
Persephone took a deep breath, but Samuel Bellamy's words continued to haunt her.
"Sis, are you going to go rescue him or not?"
Persephone furrowed her brow. Although she was extremely disappointed in Samuel, she still had some attachment to their past and didn't want things to escalate further.

Following Theodore's advice, she headed toward the private club.
Inside a private club of the Hamertons, a handsome young man nervously faced two old men, terrified to even breathe. Either one of them had the power to crush him into powder.
The air was frigid, and Samuel's neck had stiffened. After a while, he nervously smiled.
