Ethan frowned at her action and was about to slide his arm out when he heard her whisper, "Please cooperate."Her voice was unlike the haughty one he knew, and she was gripping his arm tightly. Claire William, who had an ever-sharp mouth, was panicking."Claire, I see you came with your boyfriend. I failed to inform everyone in the group chat early. Hope it wasn't inconvenient for you?" Elizabeth Hatcher feigned concern as she held the arm of a man.The Hatcher family was a wealthy family in Springdale, popularly known for being number one in the real estate business.Cole Hatcher was said to refurbish any house given to him into something even better and branded. Hence, both the buyers and the previous owners of the house were always satisfied whenever he made a sale.Having him as a real estate agent was said to be the best thing to happen to anyone looking for a house.Being his daughter, Elizabeth had a lot of influential people doting on her and always wanting to do things for he

"What is going on here?" an authoritative voice asked from the hotel’s entrance, halting the actions of the security guards and drawing everyone's attention to its owner.Wells quickly recognized and hurried to him."Mr. Webber, what are you doing here? Is my father around?" He sounded jittery as he kept staring behind his father's assistant."No, he isn't." David Webber's reply was a little cold and not at all like what everyone had expected him to sound like given he was talking to the son of his boss.He didn't spare Wells another glance as he strolled past him to the receptionist’s desk."Where is the hotel manager?" He asked her."He was having a meeting with Mr. Wilkins earlier today before he suddenly left to do something." Replied the receptionist, and Wells immediately scoffed."So, Mr. Wilkins is right here in the hotel. You have no idea how scary the Wilkins family can be when they find out there's someone claiming to be one of them!"David Webber frowned slightly and turne

Suite 1212, Pearl Hotel, was occupied by the Wilton twins.“Did you hear? Yesterday evening, Monty Green's son offended someone he shouldn't have. Charles Wilkins happened to be there and surprisingly on this stranger's side. Long story short, this hotel is no longer owned by the Wilkins family.”Preston revealed, walking into his sister's room with his tablet.“Hotels change ownership every now and then; it's nothing surprising.” Priscilla sat in front of her study desk, in her pajamas, going through the Wilton family's company financial report for the past few months.“I said the same too until I saw this.” He dropped the tablet in front of her.Priscilla paused what she was doing and took up the tablet seeing the words written in bold, “The Green family declares bankruptcy and seems to have disappeared overnight.”She glanced at him. “What is the story?”Preston reached out and scrolled down to the comment sections.“I was there yesterday. At first, I thought the man was in trouble

Neither Chloe nor Ethan felt offended, much to Meredith’s surprise.“As long as my family is happy and we lack nothing, I don't care about things like that,” Chloe flashed a toothy smile at her.“That's welcoming a boring life, Chloe. Meeting powerful people, making acquaintances, attending high-end cocktail parties, signing business agreements, buying cars, shopping for whatever you want whenever you feel like it, driving a sports car. That is the life a normal couple should live,” Julius immediately said.He was totally ignoring Meredith and Ethan, and sounded like he was offering to give her all of those if only she was with him.Meredith got alarmed and quickly held his arm. “Don't you think Charles Wilkins should be here by now?”Julius subconsciously shrugged off her hand and glanced at his wristwatch. “He won't be here for another one hour.”“I see,” Meredith bit down on her lower lip, pained that he didn't even think twice before shrugging off her arm. “I didn't mean to offen

"Charles Wilkins? Mr. Cullins, it appears you've mistaken. I'm meeting Charles Wilkins in a few minutes, so if he was here already, I'd know,” Julius snorted out a laugh.If Mark Cullins hadn't verified Charles’ identity before he made his way to the restaurant, he would've fallen for Julius’ words and gravely offended the Wilkins family.His eyes darkened at that realization, and he glared at Julius. “Do I look like a fool to you?”Julius rushed to Mark's side and in self-righteous indignation, pointed at Ethan, Chloe, and Charles.“Of course not, Mr. Cullins! I'm merely stating you're mistaken because of what I know. Not a lot of people have met Charles Wilkins, so I don't blame you for not knowing what he looks like.”“But I'm telling you, that person right there pretending to be Charles Wilkins is a sham these two hired to fool you and embarrass my fiancée and me!”“Yes, Mr. Cullins, don't be fooled by them. Ever since your company delivered my gifts, these people have done nothin
