Chapter 1: The Billionaire's First Command
The marble staircase seemed to shake beneath every step.
No one dared to breathe.
The wealthy socialite still wore her smug smile as she pointed at the maid.
"Fire her immediately," she sneered. "Or I'll make sure every influential family hears about this."
The billionaire owner finally reached the last step.
His cold eyes swept across the room before stopping on the wooden cane lying on the polished floor.
"Who took that cane?"
Silence.
The woman crossed her arms confidently.
"I did. It's just an old stick. Why would anyone care?"
His expression darkened.
"That isn't just a cane."
He slowly picked it up and walked toward the elderly woman.
Then, with surprising gentleness, he knelt and placed it back into her trembling hands.
"This belonged to my late father."
The room froze.
"It was the last thing he held before he passed away. This lady protected it for years because she once saved his life."
The billionaire stood.
"As for you..."
He looked directly into the socialite's eyes.
"You're no longer welcome in my house."
