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

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.
Suddenly, Nicholas slammed the table. Samuel's legs went weak, and he knelt.
"Ahem!" Zephyr glanced at Nicholas. "Mind your manners!"
"Damn it! Why should I care about manners with this wimp? I..."
"Hey, hey!" Zephyr, always disapproving of Nicholas' rough manner, chided, "You were like this when you were
young, no manners at all! Can't you change your thuggish ways? Don't embarrass Sephy!"
Nicholas glared at him, turning his head away.
Zephyr's smile disappeared as he looked at Samuel, his gaze piercing, making him feel uneasy.

"Grandpa Zephyr, Grandpa Nicholas..." Samuel shuddered. "I-I really didn't know that Sephy is—"
"Now you know?" Zephyr stared coldly at him. "Where does my granddaughter fall short of your expectations?"
Nicholas fumed. "This jerk chased after the company chairman's daughter for wealth and status!"
Samuel deeply regretted it. He would have stuck with Persephone if he had known about her background, even if
by force! Then, he wouldn't have to struggle for 20 years. Maybe even his future generations could have skipped
two lifetimes of hard work!
When Persephone arrived, she heard various shouts, cries, and pleas from inside the private club. Through the door
slit, she saw Nicholas, who was never one to hold back, and the usually civilized Zephyr both involved.
She watched as they let out their anger.
Samuel, beaten down by the two elders, was carried out by Nicholas' men. He trembled in fear and fled in panic at
the sight of Persephone.
