Chapter 1886
Over the next few evenings, Trey would regularly hang out with the girls. They would either find something to eat or
entertain themselves with some shopping.
Even on the night when he had to meet the representatives of VV Entertainment to negotiate their business deal,
he still met the girls afterward.
Trey may look aloof at times, but he was surprisingly reliable. He always took the group of Caprice, Freya, and Piper
to fun places that he knew they would enjoy.
Since this was a group of people that Caprice was very familiar with, she had a great time every night.
A week later, one night, Caprice, Freya, and Piper were dressed fashionably as always and were waiting for Trey to
take them out.
Caprice made sure she had her debit card with her. Trey had been footing the bill for a week, so she figured it was

After an hour passed and the sky had turned pitch-black, Trey was still nowhere to be seen.
Piper called him.
Caprice and Freya sat nearby and waited.
Soon, it became evident that Trey had told Piper some devastating news on the phone. Piper’s face was screwed in
fear and panic.
She asked anxiously. “Where are you right now? Look, don’t do anything stupid, you have to tell Mom and Dad.
They’ll figure out something for you. Hey, say something!”
She removed the phone from her ears and looked at the display. Her phone’s lock screen wallpaper was shown on
the display.
Trey had hung up on her.
She tried to call again, but it seemed like his phone was turned off. Her eyes grew red as she slumped into her seat
like her soul had been sucked out of her.
“Piper, what happened to Trey?” Caprice asked with worry in her voice.
Freya regarded Piper with concern as well.
Piper turned to Caprice, looking like she was going to burst into tears any second. “Caprice, something bad has
happened. Trey…”
Caprice grew anxious as well, and she zipped her brows into a frown. “What happened to him? Tell me!”
Piper tried her best to put together a coherent sentence. “He got set up by VV Entertainment They snuck some
nasty clause in the contract, and my brother did not notice them when he signed it. He only noticed it just now.”
Caprice asked, “What kind of clause did VV Entertainment put in?”
“I don’t know the details, but the gist of it is that there’s this deadline we’re supposed to meet. The deadline is
practically impossible for us to fulfill.”
Caprice had a vague idea of such terms and asked for more details, “What’s the penalty if you can’t meet the

Piper’s voice came out as a strange sort of rattle. It’s ten times the initial investment, which comes down to about
ten billion.”
Caprice grew wide-eyed.
Freya nearly lost her balance on the stool. “Oh my God
Piper covered her face with her palms and began sobbing. “Why? My brother has been nothing but professional
and sincere with them Their representatives even went to Glanchester to talk to my father Everything progressed
smoothly. What’s with this sudden betrayal?”
Caprice suddenly turned pale as a thought occurred to her.
Could it be Heather?
No… Freya and Piper had avoided her when they went to Emerald V. so she could not have seen them
The deal between VV Entertainment and Rockon Technology should be a mutually beneficial contract. Furthermore,
there was no bad blood between the two corporations to speak of, so why this sudden turn of events?
Caprice could not make sense of it.
Piper began to cry.
Freya did not know how to comfort her. All she could do was hold her while casting a frantic look at Caprice.
