?Chapter 902:


    As this realization dawned, a wave of subdued murmurs swept through the crowd.


    “What sort of clout does this handsome man wield? Sure, the Stevenson Group isn’t exactly at the pinnacle of the corporate world, but it’s still a significant yer.


    How could he possibly dismiss a manager with such ease?”


    “He must be linked to some high-powered corporation!”


    “Enough with the guesses. We’re just ordinary employees. If you rub someone like him the wrong way, best of luck surviving in Baythorn.”


    With that warning, the murmurs quickly died down. No one was willing to gamble their entire career on a single night’s events.


    The rough-looking man froze as he realized Brixton knew not just where he worked but could pinpoint his exact position.


    He gave Brixton another look.


    As the reality


    of the threat sank in, his earlier defiance melted away, and he took Brixton’s words to heart.


    In a hurried tone, the rough-looking man said, “This woman is merely a student from an unremarkable college! Scorn me as you please, but I am telling the truth that I am her sugar daddy.


    All those designer outfits she unts? I footed the bill for each one! There had been a time when she was all over me, professing her love so fervently that she imed keeping our affair secret was a non-issue.


    Justst night, in our intimate moments, she promised to love me eternally.

    And today? As soon as we sit down here, she deres she’s done, iming her feelings have vanished. Wouldn’t that make you furious?”


    His voice escted, brimming with indignation as he continued, his focuspletely drifting from the fact that his career dangled on a thread.


    He erupted into a fervent outburst, branding the woman as deceitful.


    “I believed she cherished me for who I was, but no. It was all for my money! All it took was one modest meal, and she’s walking away? Is it really so unreasonable for me to feel outraged? And about hitting her… I’m just a bit imposing, that’s all. I didn’t touch her!” the rough-looking man protested, his voice carrying a whiff of indignation, as though he had been unjustly used.


    The crowd’s murmurs morphed subtly, their earlierpassion for the woman beginning to waver.


    Witnessing the tide of opinion turning against her, the woman cast off any remaining guise of vulnerability. She straightened up, her stance bold and arms tightly folded, her lips curling into a mocking sneer.


    “Look at you, all burly and rugged. You ought to be grateful to have someone as elegant as me gracing your life.


    Andining about spending on a few luxuries and treats on me? Come on! That should be nothing to you! Has any boyfriend ever demanded back the gifts he bestowed after a split? Those gifts were given willingly, weren’t they?


    And now, just because I’m done with you and ready for something new, you make it an issue? Let’s make this simple. I’m over you. We’re finished. Keep bothering me, and you’ll have to deal with my new boyfriend.


    Didn’t this gentleman just threaten to bring you down from your managerial role at the Stevenson Group? Keep pestering me, and I’ll make sure my boyfriend not only steps in but ensures you’ll never work in the Stevenson Group again!”
