In a matter of seconds, Johnny had figured out the reason for my sudden shift in how I addressed him. His gaze turned icy as he glanced at Odessa, giving her a look that spoke volumes of his displeasure. Since I was young, Johnny had always treated me like a daughter, showering me with kindness and care.
I knew him well enough to understand that if he learned Odessa had been unkind to me, he wouldn’t let it slide.
“Hayley, my girl! What a surprise to see you here!” Johnny said warmly, his voice full of affection as he smiled at me.
Odessa looked from Johnny to me, her face betraying her confusion. “Mr. Estrada, do you two know each other?”
Johnny didn’t hesitate, his irritation clear as he responded, “Hayley’s like family to me. I’ve seen her up.”
At his words, Odessa’s face shifted to one of disbelief, as she struggled to process the idea that I—an Omega–had such a close connection with someone as important as Johnny.

Johnny turned back to me, his pride evident. “Hayz, I heard you aced your SATS. That’s impressive! Which college did you apply to?”
I smiled at his compliment and replied, “New College. I haven’t heard back yet, but I’m expecting an acceptance letter soon.”
“That’s excellent! You didn’t even need my recommendation letter to get in–your own abilities there. I’m really proud of you!” Johnny beamed at me, full of pride.
“I appreciate that. I’ll keep working hard,” I replied.
“Keep it up, Hayz. I have high hopes for you!” Johnny encouraged.

The exchange between Johnny and Hayley had drawn the attention of everyone nearby, and Odessa was left completely stunned.
She hadn’t expected to see Hayley so comfortably interacting with someone like Johnny, and she certainly didn’t anticipate learning that Hayley knew him so well
The crowd, too, had been watching closely. When they saw Benjamin and Hayley dancing earlier, many of them had wondered who she really was.
Now, watching Hayley so familiar with Johnny, it became clear: despite appearing to be just an Omega, Hayley had to come from a much more notable background.
At that moment, Vivian, under Brayden’s direction, made her way over.

Vivian offered Johnny a polite smile. “Mr. Estrada, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Johnny gave her a raised eyebrow and a cool nod, his detached response a stark contrast to the warmth he had shown Hayley.
Vivian, sensing the difference, felt a bit awkward, though she didn’t dare show it.
She knew all too well that despite her family’s control over the SK Pack, it wouldn’t do to upset Johnny.
She quickly recovered, attempting to smooth things over with a smile. “I’ve heard so much about you, Mr. Johnny. Everyone says you’re a serious businessman, difficult to approach. But now that I see you in person, you seem much more approachable and kind.”
Vivian’s words were perfectly crafted, and those who didn’t know better would think it was nicely put, but Johnny, used to, such flattery, didn’t seem moved by it.
However, he was slightly taken aback by how she addressed him.
“Ms. Jagged, we’re not that close. Please, call me Mr. Estrada,” Johnny said firmly, his tone leaving no room for debate.
Vivian’s smile faltered, and Odessa’s expression darkened as well.
It seemed that the rumored close relationship between Johnny and Vivian wasn’t quite what it appeared to
- be.
In fact, it was becoming clear that Hayley had a far stronger connection with Johnny.
How could Hayley, an Omega from a remote pack, possibly know someone like Johnny so well? What is really going on here?
Odessa couldn’t help but wonder, her mind spinning with questions.
“Mr. Estrada, you’re absolutely right! Vivian should show you the respect you deserve–perhaps she called you that because you don’t look much older than her,” Brayden interjected quickly, trying to smooth things over. His words suggested an attempt to place Johnny and Vivian on more equal footing, revealing his intentions clearly.
Johnny had come here for one purpose: to see Hayley. If Hayley weren’t attending, he wouldn’t have bothered with the event at all. Now that his business was done, he had no interest in staying any longer.
“I have to go, Mr. Jagged,” Johnny said as he stood. “I’ve got other things to take care of”
“Mr. Estrada, please, stay a little longer. If you need anything, I’ll handle it right away … ” Brayden attempted to persuade him to stay.
Johnny wasn’t interested. He turned to me and said, “Hayz, if you need anything, just come find me, alright?”
