Chapter 1000 Are You Out of Your Mind?
Simone observed her fatherâs arrival, his commanding presence filling the room instantly. The atmosphere shifted, and she straightened, instinctively sensing the change.
Even more crucial, Simone knew that her father had already reported Robin to the higher authorities.
She was well aware of the powerful network her father had, including many close friends and former classmates holding influential positions in government Robin had wronged her, and Simone was confident her father would use every connection at his disposal to ensure Robinâs complete downfall.
Having grown up by her fatherâs side, Simone understood the intricacies of that world. A single misstep from someone like Robin could easily destroy their career.
The people who held real power werenât just influentialâthey were ruthless. One wrong word could erase a personâs entire future.
So what if heâs the commanderâinâchief of the Dragon Soul Special Forces? What can his title do for him at such a young age?
At his rank, he has no solid backing. My dadâs circle is always thorough, gathering every detail about their target before making any move.
Since my dad already informed the higherâups about Robin, his fate is sealed.
No matter what skills or accomplishments Robin has, they wonât matter.
Once my dad decided someoneâs finished, thatâs it. No amount of talent or capability will change his outcome.
And if the accusation of harassment sticks? Robin wonât stand a chance.
Simoneâs mind turned cold with satisfaction.
Robin had offended her, and that was something she could never forgive.
With that thought, she screamed, âDad, itâs this j*rk who harassed me! I canât show my face to anyone anymore!â
Jethro, Anton, Jackson, and all the elite members of the Dragon Soul Special Forces froze, taken aback.
A moment of silence passed, followed by a brief exchange of glances that seemed to communicate disbelief.
Catherine barely stifled a laugh.
Her gaze flicked from Simoneâs heavily madeâup face to Robin, who stood motionless, his expression unreadable, Who in their right mind would believe such a ridiculous, low level accusation?
Robin was surrounded by stunning women at all times all of them eager to be with him. The idea that he would harass someone like Simone who barely even anked as a thirdârate woman was beyond absurd You Out of Your Mind?
+8 Pearls And the audacity of Simone to think she could insult someone of Robinâs status was almost laughable.
Todayâs spectacle is definitely entertaining.
âLet her go!â Kennard barked, his face dark with anger.
The two guards hesitated, glancing between Robin and Jethro, but they didnât release Simone.
âLet her stand up first, then she can explain herself,â Jethro ordered, his face a mask of indifference.
Simone struggled to her feet, collapsing into her fatherâs arms and sobbing. âDaddy, I canât face anyone anymore! Sob...â
Kennard pointed at Robin, his voice icy. âI want an explanation from you!
âYouâre the commanderâinâchief of Dragon Soul Special Forces, a senior officer in Draconia, and yet you engage in this kind of disgraceful behavior? Iâll report this to the higherâups!â
Jethroâs voice grew colder still. âMr. Morales, you canât make such accusations without evidence. Does your daughter have any proof that Commanderâinâchief Ramsey harassed her?
âIf these claims are false, itâs slander, and thatâs a serious offense!
âBe careful, accusing a senior officer in Draconiaâespecially one with the rank of commanderâinâchief during wartimeâcould lead to immediate consequences.â
Kennard visibly flinched.
Jethroâs threat wasnât an empty one.
âSimone, what exactly happened?â Kennard demanded, shaking his daughter. âTell them!
âIn a team as disciplined as ours, we will never allow someone with such poor character and morals to hold a position of power!â
Simone wiped her tears and pointed at Robin. âDad, you sent me to the Island Restaurant to meet that Hawklorean man for a blind date.
âWhen we sat down, I asked him to take out a pen and paper to write what I was saying. But instead of helping me, he ignored me and told me to leave!
âDad, when has any man ever treated me like that? How could he just ignore me like that?
âWith our familyâs position, our wealthâhe should have been respectful! He shouldâve agreed to everything I asked!â
Simoneâs voice trembled with outrage as she continued. âAnd then, he had the nerve to shout at me and have security throw me out of the restaurant!
âI even told him I was your daughter, and that our family has 11 overseas bank accounts, but he still ignored me. How could he do that?â
could he d Kennardâs eyes widened in shock, and he quickly corrected her, âSimone, what are you saying? We donât have any overseas accounts! The only money we have my salary, and youâve spent all of its Chapter 1000 Are You Out of Your Mind?
+8 Pearls Simone glared at him, her expression one of frustration. âDad, why are you lying? We really do have money overseas, so stop pretending we donât!â
Kennard was caught off guard and paused, unable to provide an answer.
He feared she might reveal all his secrets. What Simone didnât realize was that her casual remark had nearly given him a heart attack.
Those soâcalled âoverseas accountsâ were anything but legitimate. If anyone found out about them, it would be the end of him.
Simone continued, âI even asked him to pick up my shoes and put them back on for me, but he refused. It was so humiliating, especially in a place like that!
âAnd then, when I returned to Duskhaven Hotel, he followed me there. Isnât that harassment?â
She began to sob again, âIf my friends find out about this, I wonât be able to face them!â
Brendon, who had been silently observing, glanced at Simoneâs pale, hollow face before his gaze fell on her oddly proportioned body. Unable to hold back, he burst into laughter.
âAre you out of your mind? Do you really think CommanderâinâChief Ramsey would harass someone like you? Hahaha, thatâs a good one!â
Simoneâs face turned red with fury, and she pointed at him, shouting, âYou j*rk! Who do you think you are?â
Brendon stepped forward, his face hardening. âIâm Brendon, heir to Southville Residence. How dare you insult me!
âDo you really think your little family position gives you the right to act like this?
âWatch your mouth. One more word like that, and Iâll slap you across the face.â
Simone, still seething, knew just how much power the Southville Residence had in Draconia. She dared not push him further.
Kennard stood frozen, shocked by the revelation. He hadnât expected one of Dragon Soul Special Forcesâ elite members to be connected to the Southville Residence, a powerful lineage far beyond his reach.
Catherine couldnât help but burst out laughing. âYou think someone like you could ever get Commander- inâChief Ramsey to harass you? If heâs harassing anyone, itâd be Colonel Wright or Talia, not you!â
Wait. What the hell is she talking about?
Robin rolled his eyes at Catherine.
Talia and Freya, however, blushed upon hearing that, wishing they could dig a hole in the ground to hide 1. in.
Meanwhile, Simone gritted her teeth, unable to take the humiliation anymore. âWho the hell are you to insult me like that?â
Smack! The sound of Catherineâs slap echoed loudly in the room.

+8 Pearls âMy grandfather is Lord Westeria, Nigel McKay! Is that status enough for you?â Catherine snapped.
Catherine sneered, her tone dripping with scorn. âYou, with your pathetic family background, think you can show off and bully people? Get over yourself! Even if you threw yourself at CommanderâinâChief Ramsey, he wouldnât even look at you. Youâre just making things up!â
