The four meri continued waving at the screaming fans as they made their way toward the airport lobby. Adrian occasionally stopped to sign autographs, while Ethan posed for pictures with several excited girls. Ryan maintained his usual mysterious smile, and Daniel happily interacted with anyone who called his name.
Their four managers followed closely behind, making sure the celebrities weren’t overwhelmed by the crowd. After several minutes of waving and signing autographs, the group finally left the airport lobby and entered a private corridor leading toward the airport hotel where they would be staying.
The atmosphere became considerably quieter. Only the four actors and their managers were present, and they could finally walk without being surrounded by screaming fans.
Adrian adjusted his expensive sunglasses. “Finally. Those people nearly tore my arm off p>
Ethan laughed. “You should be grateful. Without them, you wouldn’t be so famous p>
“Speak for yourself,” Adrian replied arrogantly. “I’m the reason half of them bought tickets to our last drama p>
Ryan shook his head.
They continued walking, chatting casually as their managers discussed the arrangements for their stay.
Suddenly, a small boy came rushing out of nowhere.
Before anyone could react, he slammed straight into Adrian’s legs.
Adrian stumbled backward, nearly dropping his sunglasses.
“What the fuck!” he roared.
The boy fell onto the floor, staring up at him in fear.
At that exact moment, a middle-aged woman rushed out of the nearby bathroom. She was wearing a cleaner’s uniform, and the moment she saw the boy on the floor and the furious celebrity standing over him, her eyes
widened in horror.
“Oh my God!” she exclaimed, hurrying toward them. “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry p>
She quickly helped the boy stand up, then bowed repeatedly toward Adrian.
“Please forgive us, sir. I’m really sorry. He’s my son. I only took my eyes off him for a moment, and he suddenly ran out p>
Adrian looked from the boy to the woman, his expression twisting with disgust.
“What the hell is wrong with you people?” he snapped. “Can’t you control your own child p>
“I’m sorry, sir,” the woman pleaded, her voice trembling. “I didn’t know, he just took off p>
Adrian’s eyes traveled over her cleaner’s uniform before he let out a contemptuous laugh.
“Oh, I see. You’re a cleaner.” He sneered. “That explains everything. People like you have absolutely no manners. You bring your children to work, let them run around like animals, and expect everyone else to tolerate your stupidity? filthy people p>
The woman’s face drained of color.

“Please, sir. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble p>
then learn to do your job properly!” Adrian barked. “If you can’t even control a little child, what makes you think you’re capable of doing anything else?, and you let your son used that his disgusting hand to touch me p>
Tears gathered in the woman’s eyes.
Adrian wasn’t finished.
“Get this little nuisance out of my sight before I have you both thrown out of here p>
He shoved the boy roughly aside, forcing him to stumble toward his mother.
“Adrian, man, relax!” Ethan said, but the grin on his face betrayed his amusement. Others also showed amusement in this.
The other managers exchanged uncomfortable glances, but none of them dared to intervene.
The woman pulled her frightened son close to her chest, tears streaming down her cheeks as the four famous actors laughed at her.
“Now crying like she is innocent, poor people and acting like victim”. He stated before finally walking away.
The middle-aged woman remained where she was, tears streaming down her cheeks. She slowly knelt in front of her son and examined him, checking whether he had been injured.
“Are you okay, sweetheart?” she asked softly.
The little boy nodded, although his eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, did I do something wrong p>
Her heart broke at the question. She pulled him into her arms and hugged him tightly.
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit room somewhere in New York, a middle-aged man sat behind an enormous desk. Several monitors glowed on the wall behind him, displaying different locations across the city. He was dressed in a black suit, and a glass of wine rested beside his hand.
The door opened, and two subordinates entered.
“Sir,” one of them said respectfully, “The Ultimates have arrived in New York p>
The man slowly raised his head p>
“Are you certain p>
“Yes, sir. Their helicopter landed a short while ago, and they’ve been taken to their hotel p>
A faint smile appeared on the man’s face.
“Good.” He leaned back in his chair. “Keep your eyes on them. I want to know everywhere they go and everyone they meet. The plan will begin as soon as possible p>
“Understood, sir p>
The two subordinates bowed before leaving the room.
Once the door closed, the man picked up his wineglass and took a slow sip.

Meanwhile, Marcus sat across from Natalie in a private office, his expression unusually serious.
After explaining everything he had learned from the president about the man in Ms. Leah’s photograph, He leaned
back in his chair.
Natalie frowned in disbelief. “So, you think he’s still alive p>
Marcus nodded slowly. “It’s possible. According to the president, the man is alive, though presume dead. B Ms Leah claims she witnessed him die in a fire. Something doesn’t add up p>
He paused before continuing. “All I know is that there’s more to this story than we’ve been told, and I want you to investigate it. Find out who that man really was, what happened that night in Hungary, and whether there’s any evidence that he survived p>
Natalie nodded thoughtfully. “All right. I’ll look into it p>
Then she hesitated. “But what happens if Julia finds out we’re investigating her father’s death? She’s bound to be angry, especially if she discovers that you’ve been hiding this from her p>
Marcus sighed and rubbed his forehead.
He knew Julia deserved the truth, but he couldn’t afford to reveal everything about him to her. yet.
“Don’t worry, I will handle it p>
Natalie studied him for a moment before nodding. “Okay. I’ll handle it discreetly p>
Just then, Marcus’s phone began to ring.
He took it from his pocket and glanced at the screen.
Betty.
