It was still late at night in the East when Charles received the latest news happening to Augustine. He called his father right away and explained to him why the man suddenly left. "What? So much happened with his company." Chairman Chen looked worried that they have spent so many resources on Megan, yet it will all go to nothing. "Father, I know what you're thinking about. But, you're worrying for nothing. Aug came victorious. Not only that, he was able to gather back more of his company shares." "Did he? Really?" It was pretty obvious that Chairman Chen was delighted with the news. Having the man as a member of their family would indeed be beneficial for them. "Hmm, it seems Aug had some successful projects as well. It seems their company will be gaining far more than what was reported they lost." "He is indeed a capable man. A man who can help us be on top." "Then, we better make more news about Megan." "Hmm, I and your mother are attending a gathering in two nights. We can h

The day that Charles and Megan had been waiting for finally came. Sophia arrived at Chen's residence early in the morning to bid them farewell. "Charles, Megan, you both take care. I promise to join you both right away." "Hmm, will see you soon then." "Take care, sister." Both Madam and Chairman Chen were eager to send off their children. They had boasted to everyone about the upcoming trip of their children to their friends. Many people praised them for raising such capable and well-mannered children. Especially Megan, who is officially their daughter now and has found herself a very eligible man. "Megan, remember what I said. Be patient and don't bother Mr. Augustine. It is already enough that he has taken the time to invite you both," Madam Chen reminded her to avoid any problems or distractions with their family. Luckily, the issue with her biological father has been resolved. She doesn't want any more issues. "I will, Mother." Not long after, Lucas arrived to pick them up.

During the time the man was away, everyone enjoyed their time exploring the man's home. Each room made them feel like they were in a different place. From the style to the authentic decorations, it made them speechless. What amazed them even more was the fact that so many antique collections were everywhere in the house. If one was greedy, they would steal an item and become a millionaire. "Gosh, the Chens sure are lucky." "I know, right? I mean, Megan, she isn't that beautiful, and she had a bad image before. But honestly, seeing her now made me realize a person can change because of love." "She must really be in love with Mr. Augustine to change that much." KO was on the second floor when she overheard the conversation of the guests outside. She too did not expect the girl, whom she had seen in the files, to change this drastically over the months that passed by. Sadly, the girl would end up broken-hearted as KO knew Victor held no special feelings for her. "Madam." "What is it

Victor enjoyed the company of the group he normally gathered with. He had KO introduce Megan to everyone, and she happily greeted them all. People were impressed with her and couldn't find any faults. They soon turned to Charles, Megan's only relative present, and praised him and his parents for raising such a well-mannered child. Charles, who received all the praise, smiled humbly and expressed his wishes for things to work out well for the couple. Even if things didn't go as planned, he already had his eyes on the next target. He noticed how the men in the room were looking at Megan with interest, like she was a trophy that they desired. After all, who wouldn't want the woman whom a king fancied? "The chairman sure knows how to pick a lady." "Isn't she just beautiful? I mean, she isn't as beautiful as those actresses there, but she sure knows how to present herself." The beautiful ladies at the event envied Megan, but she remained humble and smiled kindly at all of them. Her stat

Meanwhile, Sophia received news of what had happened during the party. She showed no care for the necklace or how the man treated her with sweetness and kindness. In her heart, she knew everything was just an act. "Hmm, that man, who is he?" "He is one of the shareholders of the company." "Is he?" Sophia looked interested in the man in the photo as she realized how she'd be getting rid of the man. "That girl?" "Ah, well..." The investigator was hesitant to say a word about the woman. "She's Charles' lover, you don't have to be so cautious, and I don't care for such a thing." Sophia showed her true colors by being disinterested toward Charles. "Who is she?" "I found no information on her yet; we will continue our search." "No need, I know who she is." Sophia replied. Since the woman had no records, which could only mean she is a woman of the dark. A woman like her would be challenging to get rid of, but she didn't want to get rid of the woman. She'll be glad if the woman sticks t
