At 6 p.m... on the outskirts of Sunhaven, at Joule Grand Hotel.
“Phew! Finally done with the shoot.” On the second-floor luxurious banquet hall, Wanda waited for all the waitstaff to take their positions. She took off her hat and glasses, looking relaxed.
Despite being at a private banquet, she could run into her fans anytas a popular actress. To avoid unnecessary trouble, concealing her appearance with a hat and sunglasses was a standard practice.
“After the post-production editing, our promotional ad is sure to go nationwide!” Sheldon was responsible for the entire filming process, and he was confident about the advertising impact.
He looked excitedly at Alexander and Amber sitting across from him as he exclaimed. “Once the ad airs, our skincare products will fly off the shelves. No competitors can—”

“What are you guys from New Chesire Group trying to do here? Since you’re a guest in Sunhaven, why didn’t you inform the Sacco family in advance? Miss Chesire, that’s just too formal, isn’t it?”
As they spoke, two figures entered the private room.
It was Kent Sacco.
Kent was followed by the smirking Waldo. He sat opposite Amber, not bothering to glance at Alexander.
He grinned insincerely and said, “Miss Chesire, my people had a little misunderstanding with you earlier. They say enemies should be settled, not created. How about we have a drink and let bygones be bygones?”
Kent poured himself a glass of red wine and drained it in one go.
“Excuse me, sir.” Amber furrowed her eyebrows, glaring at the uninvited guest. She spoke softly, “Firstly, | don’t know you, and | don’t know anything about the Sacco family. Secondly, as you just mentioned, your people occupied my shooting location, and my husband has already dealt with it. We might find it hard to be friends.
“Thirdly, and most importantly, this is our celebration banquet, not open to any guests. Please leave!”
“Oh?” Kent raised an eyebrow, then smirked and said, “Miss Chesire, I’ve heard of the fof your New Chesire Group-top in Ol Mare, unrivaled. However, you seemed to have forgotten one thing.
“This isn’t Ol‘ Mare but rather Sunhaven. New Chesire Group reigns supronly in Ol’ Mare, while our Sacco family is the king of Sunhaven!”
Kent's gaze swept across the banquet hall, finally landing on Wanda’s face. His eyes lit up. “Oh, Miss Wanda is also here? The rising star, endorsing for New Chesire Group? The Sacco family is also influential in the entertainment industry, and your future with these folks here might not be as promising as you think!”
This statement was not a threat but a fact.
The Sacco family’s business spanned throughout Sunhaven, and they also had their fingers in the +15 BONOS

“Mister Sacco, are you threatening us?!” Amber's face turned cold. She nodded reassuringly at Wanda, then stared at Kent. “Anyone can be a businessman, and the business world knows no boundaries! You say the Sacco family is the king of Sunhaven? Who gave you that title?
“New Chesire Group is expanding its business, be it in Ol‘ Mare or Sunhaven. It has nothing to do with you!”
Kent's surprise was replaced by a sinister smile.
Pointing to the wooden door of the private room behind him, he slowly smiled, “Do you know how many people are outside? Not many; just fifty of the Sacco family’s bodyguards.”
At this point, he reached across the round dining table and grabbed Amber. He raised his eyebrows even higher as he said, “In Sunhaven, the Sacco family sets the rules! Are you trying to be arrogant in Sunhaven? Don’t reach where you shouldn't! If you touch something you shouldn’t-agh!”
Asilver fork, reflecting the light, pierced through Kent's palm. The force was subtle, perfectly piercing through and sticking through his hand.
Blood oozed out of Kent's wound. It was not until the fresh blood dyed his entire palm red that he felt the excruciating pain.
“Now tell me, what are the rules?” Beside Amber, Alexander had pulled away the hand that threw the fork, looking calmly at Kent. He continued softly, “Before answering, think it through.
“Are your guards even useful?”
