"You'd better be worth the price, or else... I'll make sure you get the money but don't live to spend it!"
The money was basically pocket change to him, but if word got out that he'd spent that much on an escort just for an act, people would mock him for being a total sucker. His reputation would take a hit.
"And one more thing. Outside of when we have to act, you keep your distance. If you dare take advantage of me without permission again... I'll sew your mouth shut myself, Elena."
Before getting out of the car, Sterling delivered the warning word by word, completely deadpan.
Elena felt a phantom pain in her lips, then suddenly had an epiphany, blurting out, "That wasn't your first kiss, was it..."
"Shut up!"
The kid raged in utter humiliation, roughly dragging her out of the car. The staff immediately rushed over with umbrellas to shield them.
A performance had to go all the way, even in front of the help.
In the drizzling night rain, the young man hesitated for a split second before scooping Elena up into his arms, striding into the Hawthorne Estate with an entourage of umbrella-wielding staff right on his heels.
Not long after, the black Bentley that was supposed to be miles away quietly returned.
With its headlights off, the dark silhouette of the car practically blended into the rainy night, radiating an intensely suffocating, ominous vibe.

As the youngest brother, Sterling was notoriously spoiled. Being labeled the Prince of the city's elite wasn't an exaggeration—it was a literal fact.
Therefore, bringing his fake girlfriend, Elena, into the estate—and carrying her all the way in—caused a massive sensation among the staff.
The master's attitude directly dictated the servants' behavior.
One maid gushed, "Ms. Larkin, you're so gorgeous! You could outshine any A-list celebrity!"
Another chimed in, "Ms. Larkin, you're the very first girlfriend Master Sterling has ever brought home. You must be his first love!"
In reality, Elena's lipstick was smudged, her hair was a mess, and her dress was completely wrinkled. She looked utterly ravished, like she'd just walked out of a wildly passionate encounter.
