"What?!" Tony shouted in surprise.His outburst caught the attention of the guests at the party, diverting their attention towards the commotion. Realizing his reaction, Tony quickly composed himself, transforming his shock into a pleasant surprise."Well, you came!" he exclaimed joyously."Of course, I would come. It's my brother's birthday, after all. Why wouldn't I be here?" Will replied."Of course, you can be here. Mother has been waiting for you," Tony said, masking his true emotions behind a facade of happiness.Tony was no fool. As a businessman, he understood the importance of playing his cards right, even if he wasn't the most astute in matters of business and leisure. He knew that he had to pretend to be genuinely happy to see his brother."Finally, you're here. I was beginning to wonder if you would be absent again this time," Grandma said, not expecting much from her son.Tony smirked inwardly, feeling satisfied with the way his mother was speaking to his elder brother. He

The guests present were left speechless, shocked beyond words. The atmosphere became filled with noise as murmurs and gasps filled the air. This was not the expected turn of events. The captivating show had taken an unexpected and disturbing twist.Cecilia couldn't contain her emotions and let out a scream, her hand instinctively covering her mouth while tears threatened to spill from her eyes. When Tony looked at his wife, he saw the same look of shock and disbelief mirrored on her face. His own brother and wife had played a cruel joke on him.He glanced at his brother, then at his wife, hoping it was all just a terrible dream. If it was, he never wanted to sleep again.Grandma appeared pale and shaken, her hands trembling visibly. Tony grew even more concerned when he witnessed the trembling. "Mother," he cried out, deeply affected by the change he saw in her.Emma's initial shock quickly transformed into anger. As she observed the smug expression on Lisa's face, she understood why s

Days passed after the birthday celebration, and Grandma remained hospitalized, unable to come to terms with the fact that her beloved grandchild had died in her own home. The shock had taken a toll on her already weakened heart, leading to her immediate hospitalization. This left Tony with no choice but to focus his attention on his ailing mother, leaving him with little time to grieve for his son's illness.Cecilia, on the other hand, faced her own troubles as news of her scandal broke out to the public. She was placed under house arrest, forbidden from visiting her sick mother-in-law in the hospital. Tony's attitude towards her had drastically changed, and he no longer cared about her as he once did. He would leave the house and return late at night, openly displaying his disgust towards her. He no longer bothered to hide the fact that he had a mistress, often calling her affectionate names in front of Cecilia, intensifying her regret for seeking Will's help and being the one whose a

Time passed, and the moment arrived for Anna to attend the appointment. As she prepared herself, she had no idea what to expect since she had been against this meeting from the beginning. However, the desire to uncover the truth she had yearned for years pushed her to proceed with it. As she stepped out, she noticed Bella setting the table for breakfast. Bella continued setting the table without acknowledging Anna's presence. It was clear that she was pretending not to notice her. Anna sat down and began eating, and surprisingly, Bella joined her without uttering a word. Anna observed her unusually silent friend, who was usually talkative even during meals. Today, however, she remained quiet, and it seemed she was angry at Anna. Anna pretended not to notice Bella's unusual behavior and continued eating. But after a few minutes, she couldn't let it go on without addressing the issue. "Okay, tell me what's bothering you," Anna said, placing her spoon down and looking at Bella. To her

"Why should I believe you? I'm still working here as a director, and I don't have a company of my own. How can I trust what you're saying?" Nagid's question surprised anyone present, but he was not easily swayed by sweet words from someone he barely knew, someone trying to make him think she trusted him. He had been through a lot in the past and couldn't believe such a turn of events. Anna looked at him, puzzled. Anyone else would have agreed without hesitation, but Nagid's reaction was surprising. He was so smart that it caught her off guard. Others would have jumped at the opportunity, but he couldn't be swayed by mere words. "I do admire your intelligence and how alert you are, Mr. Nagid. Your words show your competence. I wouldn't be surprised to see you become the most successful man ever. But I want you to consider what I've said. Take some time to think about it. I hope the answer will be positive," Anna replied, hoping to convince him. Her answer stunned him. Was this the sa
