Cody, the young man in the back row, got 30 thousand dors selling the video, and his face lit up with excitement. However, when a blurry figure was reflected on his phone screen, his smile froze. He looked up and saw a stern face.

    Owen nced at the phone and said coldly. “Sir, you’remitting a crime.”

    Cody knew who Owen was, so his face turned pale the moment he was caught. He panicked and dropped his phone. “I was just-

    Owen picked up the phone, cing it carefully on the desk without touching the screen. “Filming someone without their consent and using their image for profit may lead to civil liability.”

    Owen exaggerated on purpose, scaring Cody stiff. The whole carriage went silent. The middle-aged man shrank back, quietly sliding further into his seat.

    “I’ll delete it right now.” Cody fumbled with his phone. “I’m giving the money back, and I won’t let them post it.”

    His hands shook while typing. When the message finally went through, the reply said the deal was done, and even if he gave the money back, the video wouldn’t be taken down.

    Owen returned to his seat, pulled out his business card, took photos of it with Cody’s phone, and sent a voice message over. “If you spread this video and cause reputational harm, the Stars Group will sue.”

    After sending it, he tossed the phone back and nced at Cody. “When we stop, you’d better go to the police station yourself.”

    Cody was freaking out, nodding frantically. “Sure. I swear I’ll confess to the cops.”

    When Owen walked by, he saw Roy peeking at him. He sneered at him, and Roy suddenly cried out, “Mom, that man is scary.”

    Brenda kept trying tofort him, but it was no use.

    An impatient passenger said loudly, “I’ve never seen such a noisy child. If you can’t keep him quiet in public, then take him somewhere else.”

    Brenda wanted to argue but didn’t dare when she saw the tough-looking bald guy ring at her, so she just quickly hushed Roy.

    Owen returned to his seat with a satisfied look on his face. Flynt, sitting next to him,ughed. “I didn’t expect you to be so good at dealing with kids.”

    Owen turned his head and said, “Do you have a problem with that?”

    “No.” Flynt grinned. “Mr. Shaw, it seems you don’t have much patience for kids, but that doesn’t matter. You can just hire a nanny, right?”

    Owen sneered. “It’s none of your business.” Then he turned to Aria andined, “Flynt is so annoying.”

    Aria couldn’t help butugh. “You could tell him to shut up.”

    Owen smirked and nced at Flynt. “Did you hear that?”

    Flynt fell silent, looking upset. He realized that Owen was shameless beyond what he had expected.

    Seeing this, Cathy was delighted. She said, “What a hypocrite. I’m d that Aria isn’t into this type of guy? She then turned to Mike. “Now you see why Owen managed to get Aria.”

    Mike looked a little lost, but he pretended to get it. “Yeah, they like each other, right?”

    Cathy felt speechless and forced a smile. “You’re single, right?”

    Mike nodded. “Yeah.”

    “No crush on anyone?” she asked.

    “No,” Mike said.

    Cathy was surprised. “You’re quite handsome. Hasn’t any girl ever chased you?”

    Mike said, “Some have, but I’m not interested. I’d rather focus on school and the State Security Bureau stuff”

    Cathy raised an eyebrow. “Aria is dating too, and she’s not distracted by it. You’re just overthinking it.”

    Mike looked at Aria and said with a smile, “Ms. Saxon always knows what she’s doing, but I don’t. Sometimes I have really poor self-control.”

    Cathy stared at him. “Well, at least you’re very honest.”

    After the train stopped, Aria and Owen were about to head to the Stars Group headquarters. Cathy wanted to go with them, out Owen stopped her. “There are too many of us, and it’s easy to draw attention. Just go back and stay with Julia.”
