Chapter 1032

Let Jack and his crew have their fun for now there'd be plenty of time to deal with them later.

Besides, the gala was about to begin, and prominent guests were arriving one after another. Stirring up trouble now would only draw the wrong kind of attention.

Just then, another wave of footsteps echoed at the entrance. A group of imposing men strode in, surrounded by a swarm of reporters.

They were businessmen from Alnewgo, but no one dared to overlook them. Their capital was powerful enough to rival anyone present. And at the heart of the group stood a young man who drew every eye the moment he entered.

He was strikingly young-barely in his twenties, by the looks of it. But his eyes were sharp, gleaming with an unmistakable edge. There was a quiet, imposing confidence about him that made it impossible for him to fade into the crowd.

It was none other than Samuel-the man at the helm of Haven Net.

He was a name that carried immense weight in Iselva's business world. His influence was unmatched. Haven Net, though still private, commanded a user base of over a billion, making it impossible for anyone to ignore its immense potential.

He was, without a doubt, a shining star in Iselva's business world—a true multinational powerhouse.

Samuel was a business legend who rose from humble beginnings. In just a few short years, he had amassed a staggering fortune-enough to leave anyone in awe.

Today, he wasn't just the face of Haven Net but also a symbol of the financial might of Chopington and Boppington.

Rumors swirled that capital giants from Chopington and Boppington were preparing to move into Tarthy. Their arrival promised a brutal clash with the region's most powerful tycoons.

Though still unconfirmed, Samuel's arrival gave weight to the rumors swirling around.

His sudden arrival took everyone by surprise, sending a shock through the entire hall.

And no one was more stunned than Luca.

Samuel stepped into the spotlight, surrounded by admiration like a rising star. Luca was so stunned he almost gasped aloud.

Back in their dorm days, Samuel had been the most unassuming of them all. Luca had heard he was making strides in life but had no idea what exactly he'd gotten into.

And yet, there he stood-right in the middle of it all, surrounded by power. He owned the space like he was meant to be there.

For Luca, it was nothing short of a complete shock.

His doubts weighed heavily on Feena and Bella as well.

As Jack's ex and current girlfriend, they were no strangers to Samuel. They knew

his story well-how he'd come from nothing, once scraping by through the worst of times.

And yet, here he was-risen to prominence, now the undeniable center of attention in this gilded hall.

They soon learned Samuel's true identity from the conversations around them. He was the CEO of

Haven Net, arising star who had

ecently taken the capital markets by storm.

Samuel had been interviewed by both Celestial Network and Central Media. He was

also named one of the world's top 500 most influential figures.

The revelation was staggering, leaving Luca, Feena, and Bella utterly stunned.

They were well aware of Haven Net's

growing influence. The social platform had made its mark in the

Tarthy City market. In no time, it

climbed the ranks to stand shoulder

to shoulder with giants like

Facebook and TikTok.

It was nothing short of a miracle—and the man behind it all was Samuel.

Luca, Bella, and Feena exchanged glances, disbelief written all over their faces.

Yet Wilhelmina, standing not far off,

remained unusually composed. Samuel might be the true power behind Haven Net but in her eyes he was still beneath her in status. Unlike the others, she felt neither awe nor admiration. .net

Truthfully, any woman in Wilhelmina's position might have reacted the same way.

No matter how powerful Samuel became or how brightly he shone, one thing remained unchanged. He was—and would always be―Jack's subordinate.
