"Yes. The consequences will be severe. I heard the borrowed car belonged to a prominent figure, and when he returns to the city, James, the driver, and James' superior will all be sued in military court."

"What?" Thea was frightened. She gripped James' hand tighter.

Yuna glanced at Luke and sneered inwardly. "Put the Black Dragon on trial? Who has the courage to do so?" James and Thea's appearance caused an uproar. The Callahans were the laughingstock of Cansington. Lex had fabricated an invitation to the Blithe King's succession ceremony, while James borrowed a car to feign influence.

"James, don't implicate Thea in your crime. Divorce her; you're unworthy of her," Luke mocked. He had a plan: dating Yuna wouldn't interfere with his secret relationship with Thea.

"Honey, what should we do?" Thea worried. She knew an investigation would be troublesome. [Remove the website promotion]

"Don't worry, it'll be alright. I won't drag you down," James reassured her, taking her hand. "Alright, let's go inside." Yuna took Thea's hand and led her into the hotel.

"Yuna…" Luke called after them.

Yuna had booked the entire eighth floor for her birthday banquet. After arriving, James went to the lounge, sat on a sofa, and played Plants vs. Zombies. Meanwhile, Yuna took Thea to meet her friends—wealthy young women, many from the capital.

After James arrived, Thea's classmates started arriving, assuming they were invited because of Luke, their class monitor. Unaware of Yuna, they avoided her but flocked around Luke.

"Luke, I lost my job. Can you get me a position at Abundant Pharmaceuticals?"

"Thea is beautiful; she rivals Yuna. You could win her while dating Yuna…"

"Luke, you're influential! We're at the Cansington Hotel—a table here costs two hundred thousand dollars!"

"You haven't confessed to Yuna yet? This is your chance!"

Luke's classmates showered him with flattery, inflating his ego. He genuinely believed Yuna had invited the class because of him and felt compelled to confess, picturing Yuna accepting with a diamond ring. The thought excited him.

"Go confess, Luke!"

Encouraged, Luke's confidence soared. He saw Yuna chatting with some women, took out his diamond ring, and walked toward her under everyone's gaze. He knelt.

"Huh?" Yuna looked at him.

Luke, in a white suit, looked charismatic. He knelt. "Yuna, since I first saw you, your face has been imprinted on my mind. I dream of you. I'll have the world with you; without you, I'll lose it. I know you love me. Yuna, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Wow…"

"How romantic."

"I wish I were Yuna."

"So romantic! When will my prince charming arrive?"
