As John hung up the phone, he felt a sudden sense of panic. Edward Windsor? The same Edward who was standing in front of him right now? John felt his body go cold. Was he being tested? Was this some kind of a trap? He had always been a loyal member of the Poseidon Club, but he knew that if he did anything wrong now, it could mean the end of his career. Edward looked at John with a calm expression, still waiting for an answer. John, on the other hand, felt a surge of fear wash over him. The man he had just been mocking was actually a member of the Poseidon Club, and not just any member, but one with a black card.John immediately composed himself and smiled, which was very rare. "Mr Windsor, I apologize for my behavior earlier. Of course, I was only representing myself and not the Poseidon Club."The change in John's attitude was unexpected and the crowd watched in disbelief as he apologized to Edward. However, the tension in the air only increased as a group of people in black entere

The room fell into silence as the men pondered Edward's offer. To invest such a substantial amount of money into a project with little information was a significant risk, but the potential reward was too great to ignore. After a few moments of consideration, Richard Balmore cleared his throat and spoke up."I believe I speak for all of us when I say we are intrigued by your proposal, Mr Windsor. We would be interested in learning more about the specifics of the project, but for now, we are willing to invest a portion of our own capital to help fund it. We will, of course, require a detailed business plan and a clear understanding of the risks involved.""Excuse me, Mr. Balmore, I think there may have been a misinterpretation of my words. Let me clarify what I meant," Edward said, noticing Richard Balmore's confusion.Richard Balmore raised an eyebrow, waiting for further explanation. "Please, go ahead."Edward nodded, and spoke in a clear and concise manner, "Gentlemen, I would like t

Brenda's heart was racing as Edward looked at her with intense eyes, his hand gently caressing her cheek. She could feel the heat between them, a magnetic pull that was impossible to resist. For her, Edward had always been so handsome, with his chiseled jawline and piercing gaze, but now she saw something different in him - a raw hunger that made her pulse quicken. She knew she wanted this, wanted him, more than anything she had ever wanted before.She nodded and whispered, "You know my answer."Edward wasted no time. He scooped her up in his strong arms and carried her to the bedroom, the anticipation building with every step. Brenda could felt her skin flushing with desire, as he laid her down on the bed and kissed his way down her body.Her eyes fluttered closed as he began to undress her, his rough hands tracing every curve of her body."Oh, Edward," she moaned, feeling her desire building to an almost unbearable level. Every touch, every kiss, made her feel like she was on the b

Edward's frustration grew as he realized that he had no way to prove his identity. He pulled out his cell phone out of his pocket, hoping to call Lily and have her vouch for him, but alas, the battery was dead. He turned to Brenda, but she was equally helpless since she did not have Lily's number saved on her phone. They were stuck, standing before the skeptical security guards, who seemed to be enjoying their discomfort.Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Balmore building.The usual formal meeting room had been transformed into a banquet hall at Edward's request, as he had insisted on a more relaxed atmosphere for the gathering. The room was filled with the chatter and laughter of the invited guests, who were enjoying the lavish spread of food and drinks laid out before them. Edward's absence had not gone unnoticed, and many of the attendees were wondering where he was.All the invited guests were filled with joy by the presence of Lily as a representative of the Balmore family. She

Everyone in the room turned their attention towards where Lily was pointing, and they saw Edward standing there, looking surprised but amused.By this time, the attendees were visibly divided into two distinct groups. While more than half of the crowd seemed to be clueless about Edward Windsor, as they had not attended Adele's birthday party, they had puzzled expressions on their faces. While the other half of the audience, they wore frowns on their foreheads, evidently taken aback by the news that Lily Balmore had developed romantic feelings for Edward Windsor.Richard, the CEO of Balmore Group, was just about to stand up when he was stopped by Charles Hurley, who spoke softly to him. "Let's stay seated and enjoy the show. This is young people's business, after all."Sitting at Richard's table were people who knew Edward. They nodded in agreement to Charles' suggestion. Richard responded, "Fine. I was just too surprised by my daughter's words." Charles smiled and said nothing.Desp
