"Is that the kid you've been talking about?"
Ray's dad looked at him.
After Luke and Leila left, Ray and his dad also left. Ray's face got serious, and he looked at his dad.
"Yeah, that's the one."
"Tsk, to think that dirt-poor kid made Young Master Victor his enemy. Do you know why it happened? Someone like Young Master Victor wouldn't usually bother with someone like that."
"A woman was involved," Ray said seriously. His dad looked surprised and raised an eyebrow.
"A woman? What kind of trouble is this kid getting into?" Ray shook his head, realizing he couldn't fully explain without giving away too much.
But his father didn't need much to understand if it involved a woman; he was only thinking about one thing—love rivals.
To imagine a poor, simple country boy daring to compete with Young Master Victor over a woman. It was a sure way to cause trouble.
"Anyway, make sure to keep Young Master Victor happy," Ray's dad said.
"Yes, Dad."
"Good."
Their family was under Victor's family. The Blackthorn family had a strong influence in the city's middle district.
Ray understood that pleasing Victor was not just about loyalty, but also about benefits. If he lost Victor's favor, their family could face big problems.
So, Ray always made sure to be ready to help Victor, doing whatever was needed to keep him happy.
"Dad, I just remembered something I need to do. You can go home without me," Ray said. His dad nodded and left.
As soon as his dad was gone, Ray's face got serious. "That jerk, how is he still around? I need to tell Master Victor so he can handle it."
Ray quickly grabbed his phone and made a call to Victor.

A good-looking young man, probably in his early twenties, sat on a massage table in a fancy room.
He was shirtless, his strong muscles shiny with sweat, showing he was confident.
A beautiful woman wearing a pretty, colorful dress with lovely designs gave the man a tempting massage.
Her hands skillfully massaged his well-toned muscles. The room was filled with the calming scent of lavender, and gentle instrumental music played softly in the background.
Occasionally, the woman's hands would move a bit too low, touching the man's more sensitive spots. Despite these tempting distractions, the young man stayed focused on the phone he was holding.
Judging by his surroundings, the man seemed to come from a wealthy family, with luxurious furniture and elegant decor all around him.
The young man stared at the screen of his phone, his eyes locked on a picture of a stunning woman.
Her long, blonde hair flowed over her shoulders, highlighting a face that showed grace and self-assurance.
Her intense eyes seemed to reach deep into the young man's heart, making him completely mesmerized and unable to turn away.
She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen; he couldn't stop thinking about her.
As he kept looking at her, he felt a strong desire to have her. He couldn't stop thinking about what it would be like to have her with him and to say she was his. The idea of being able to hold her made him really happy.
The woman in the photo was Celeste. The picture was taken during a school trip to a garden, where everyone in the class took photos.
"Celeste is really beautiful," the young man thought, unable to stop staring at her captivating picture.
"Young Master Victor, look at me~~" The woman pouted, flipping her long, silky hair over her shoulder to catch his eye.
She was trying to get the attention of this young master, who seemed deep in thought. Her playful move brought him back to the moment, and he looked at her.
He had a mischievous look in his eyes and a sly smile on his lips.
"Come here," he said, patting his lap invitingly. The woman's heart raced as a seductive smile spread across her face.
She slowly walked toward him, her steps filled with anticipation and desire.
As she sat on his lap, feeling the warmth of his body against hers, the man's hand began to squeeze the woman's bottom.
The soft, bouncy feeling of her buttocks was something he couldn't resist. He squeezed both sides firmly, making the woman let out a soft gasp.
"Mmm~~"
The woman's excitement grew as his hands continued to explore her body, sparking a fire within her.
She leaned in closer to him, her lips brushing against his ear as she whispered, "I want you, young master~~"
A smile appeared on Jasper's face as he heard her words.
With a playful look in his eyes, he stood up from the couch and led her towards the bed, their passion taking over both of them.

After a great workout, Victor grabbed his phone and looked at Celeste's picture once more.
He glanced at the woman next to him.
'Ugh, fucking bitch!' Victor thought to himself; the woman in the photo and the one beside him were completely different.
He couldn't wait to be with the woman in the photo; the idea of being close to her made Victor excited.
As he lay there, he kept scrolling on his phone, and his eyes squinted as he looked at the picture of Celeste looking at a man. With his teeth clenched, he couldn't stop himself from cursing the man in the photo.
'Damn it!! It's all your fault; if you weren't there, Celeste would already be mine!' Victor felt a mix of anger and jealousy take over.
'Ray told me that he saw that jerk today at the graduation party, but how could that be?' Victor wondered, trying to figure out what was going on.
On graduation day, Victor didn't attend because it didn't matter to him. Instead, he was celebrating...
Why?
Because he had finally gotten rid of Luke, who he considered a nuisance.
Victor had carefully planned to remove Luke from Celeste's life.
But how did Luke return?
Victor couldn't figure out how Luke managed to come back after all the work he had put into making him disappear.
'It doesn't matter; even if he comes back, I'll send him right back to where he belongs,' Victor thought, determined to complete what he had begun.
