Lnd had always been mean and heartless back in school. Johanna, his mom, spoiled him rotten since he was a little boy, convinced he was the prince of the Dawson family and could do no wrong.


    At Echo City University, Lnd''s status meant he could rule the roost. But where were they? They were in the heart of high society, where even setting foot inside required pedigree.


    Yet, Lnd had brought along a bunch of his middle-ss mates. Such disregard for the asion had rubbed the elite the wrong way. In their eyes, an event at the Majestic Manor Hotel was no ce for Lnd''s friends. After knocking back another ss of champagne, Violet went off to the bathroom and Lnd saw his chance. He gave his minions a nod to corner her.


    "Let''s check it out," Freya said, leading Luna toward the corner.


    They saw Lnd''sckeys blocking Violet''s way.


    Realizing the situation, Violet tried to back away. "Lnd, what do you think you''re doing?"


    Lnd was visibly upset not to see fear on Violet''s face. "What do I think I''m doing? The Dawson family honored you by considering you my fiancée, and this is how you repay me? By disrespecting me?" Drunk and frustrated, Lnd grabbed Violet, attempting to force a kiss on her.


    The crowd started to heckle, but they didn''t bet on Violet to have so much sass. She pped Lnd across the face, turning half of it bright red.


    Lnd''s mates moved to teach Violet a lesson. But she saw her chance to escape.


    Feeling humiliated by Violet, Lnd tried to grab her hair angrily when Freya shouted from nearby, "Lnd! What the hell are you doing?"


    Freya''s voice, neither too loud nor too soft, was enough to draw the attention of everyone present.


    The Ramsey family was already on their way over. Seeing Violet running toward them with her hair in a mess, Mr. Ramsey''s face turned stormy.


    "Freya! You traitor!" Already detesting Freya, Lnd was furious at her for ruining his moment.


    All eyes turned to see Violet copsing into Mrs. Ramsey''s arms and weeping. The room fell into an eerie silence.

    wild seene Lnd had caused, but she quickly noticed Violet sobbing in Mrs. Ramsey''s arms.


    "What''s wrong, sweetheart? Why are you crying like this?" Johanna went over, thinking she couldfort Violet. But all she got was a harsh re from Violet''s eyes.


    Mrs. Ramsey stepped forward. "Mrs. Dawson, we came here in good faith to celebrate your son''s birthday, and this is how he insulted my daughter! What is the meaning of this?"


    "What? What, what do you mean by ''insulted"?" Johanna was shocked.
