The gates of Villa One stood still, the world seemingly pausing in a breathless hush.
Today, nothing had been held back.

Two of Harmonfield's most captivating women were here, standing together-an unimaginable sight for
most.
The sons and daughters of the city's highest families watched in stunned silence.
It was the first time many had seen the frozen beauty of Harmonfield's most famous woman up
close.
Her beauty was beyond measure, like nothing from this world. She was like a rare flower, delicate and perfect, her presence enough to make the sun jealous.
Shirley Dunn, the firstborn of the powerful Dunn family, seemed like something carved from the heavens.
The reporters, struck dumb by her elegance, forgot their work, their cameras still as they stared at her as if she were a vision.
Awoman like her belonged to the heavens. She was so flawless that it made those around her feel small and insignificant.
The crowd was frozen, their gaze locked on Shirley, who seemed to draw every eye, every breath.
With each step she took, the air itself seemed to tremble.
When she reached Robin, she slipped her arm through his, her eyes soft with tenderness.
"Robin," she said quietly, her voice thick with feeling. "I can't just stand here and watch you suffer because of this worthless woman." She looked deep into his eyes, her gaze intense, almost lost. "From the moment you saved me, I knew. You are the only man for me.
"I know you don't want to deal with the Millers. But don't worry, I'll make them regret their arrogance."
She smiled at him, a smile so gentle it could warm even the coldest heart.
That smile-it was as if the world itself had paused to admire her.
The crowd stood still, mesmerized by the power of her presence.
Is Shirley declaring her love for Robin in front of everyone?
She had just claimed that he was the only man for her.
The heirs of Harmonfield's wealthy families stared in disbelief, their frustration rising. Harmonfield's most admired woman, the goddess of the city, was already spoken for They no longer stood a chance.

Shirley had everything-beauty, talent, status, and now, it seemed, the perfect love.
How they longed to have a life like hers.
But just as quickly, Shirley's smile faded, her warmth replaced by cold resolve.
She surveyed the Millers and the other guests with a look that made everyone pause. "Robin is mine," she said, her voice sharp. "He is not someone who will be humiliated by the likes of you. "He is my fiancé, and the largest shareholder in the Dunn Group.
"The Dunn Group doesn't belong to my family," she continued. "It belongs to Robin."
With that, she walked toward Alice, her steps measured.
Shirley, towering over Alice, fixed her with a look that carried years of disdain. "I must ask," she said slowly. "What makes you think you have the right to say Robin can't have you?" With a loud slap, Shirley's hand struck Alice across the face.
Pathetic!
"Robin could erase your family with a single command. The only reason he doesn't is because you're beneath him.
"What did you think?
"Do you think Robin fears you? That he needs something from you?
""You're all fools.
"Your family has insulted him time and time again. Robin doesn't care enough to deal with you himself, but we-" She gestured toward herself and the Dunn family. "We'll take care of it." The crowd held their breath.
Shirley had just claimed Robin as her fiancé and promised to bring down the Millers for him.
The Millers had hit a wall.
Two of the most powerful women in Harmonfield stood by Robin's side one as his partner, the other as
his servant.
The Millers had no idea what they had just unleashed.
Two colossal families, with power enough to crush them, were ready to act.
Did the Millers really think they could take on someone like Robin?
It seemed they'd made a grave mistake.
In the grand halls of Harmonfield, there were few men who could command the attention of both Daphng

and Shirley.
But the Millers? They had dared to call him a nobody and a street rat.
It was almost laughable, how blind they were.

Shirley's eyes flicked over to Alice, full of contempt, then swept across the crowd. "Look at me. How does my beauty compare to Alice's? And as for power, how do the Dunns stand against the Miller family? "How could a worthless woman like her dare claim Robin couldn't reach her? Only someone who has lost their mind could think that way."
The room hummed with disbelief.
There was no contest.noveldrama
Alice might have had a little charm, but next to Shirley, she was nothing. Shirley's beauty was beyond compare, like something forged by the gods themselves.
As for the Millers? Their power was nothing next to the Dunns.
One was an insect, the other a beast.
The Dunns could crush them like a bug beneath their heel.
The Millers stayed silent. They had no choice. This wasn't a matter of pride; it was a matter of survival.
Hank's face reddened with fury.
Shirley had not only insulted them but done so in front of all the important families and the media. She had reduced the Millers to nothing more than trash.
It stung, deeply.
Even though the Millers could never match the Dunns, the humiliation of being openly scorned was unbearable.
Hank stepped forward, his voice tight with barely controlled anger. "Ms. Dunn, I know your family is powerful. I know you rule this city. But there's no need to humiliate my family in front of everyone. That is arrogance" Shirley didn't flinch. Her gaze was like ice. "Arrogance?" she repeated, her voice sharp as a blade. "What's wrong with putting you and your family in your place?
