“Watch your tongue, Carolyn. Apologize this instant!” Logan, who was beside her, stood up abruptly.

He was ready to put her in her place for raising her voice at Harold.

“Am I wrong? There are so many talented and beautiful women of significant social standing in this world who are dying to be with Harold, yet he rejected all of them for a girl who treats him coldly. How is he... any different from a simp?” Carolyn trailed off, her voice eventually becoming just short of a mumble.

“How dare you!” Logan snapped. He could not hold back at Carolyn's lack of remorse when she had gone so far as to call Harold a simp.

Carolyn did not retaliate. She knew that resistance was futile. She was no match for Logan, who was the strongest of The Four.

“Logan, don't mind her. There are some things that the two of you won't understand. Lift the ban before tomorrow!” Harold instructed Carolyn. He sighed as he checked the time. It was already nine at night.


“It's getting late. I'm leaving.” He rose to his feet and left the café.

Craig and James, who had been standing outside the door, disguised as waiters, did not dare to leave until Harold, Logan, and the others had left.

Along the way, Harold left a comment on Brittany's post: Rest well, tomorrow will be better.

Then, he put his phone away.

In the living room of the Sullivan residence in Eastview, Connor Sullivan, head of the Sullivan household, was livid.

“You want me to resolve the issue with Brittany's Greenhouse Produce? Are you courting death?” he roared.

Jon had been waiting for his father's return ever since the former came back from Brittany's house.

Connor, Jon's father, finally returned from a social engagement at around nine. Jon quickly brewed him a cup of coffee and told him about Brittany's situation.

Given the status of the Sullivans as a first-class family in Dellmoor, Jon believed that the Xenos family's issue would be resolved with just a few words from his father.
