Luna had heard about Scarlet Corporation and how the man behind it had spent a billion dollars curating it as a high-end brand.
Her eyes widened as she contemplated the possibility of Gareth being the man in question. If that were the case, Naomi had seriously misjudged him! "Let us continue with this evening's programs," Peter said as he passed the microphone back to Luna.

Crossing his arms, Lethan let out a dry chuckle and said, “I guess such generosity is expected of the chairman of Scarlet Corporation.
"I can't believe he donated three million dollars to the university. That's the total amount of donations I've made to this school over the last three years!"

"You would be lucky to even have instant mac and cheese,” Carlisle jested.

Wanda was seated next to Carlisle, clutching the hem of his shirt while watching the performance on stage.
"How cShein and Yuriel aren't here? Carlisle asked.
