Alice, shocked by the unexpected condition, stared at Anna. "Smash a cake into Darren's face on a live stream? What does that have to do with the hospital contract?"Alice could not believe what Anna told her, why would the head of Winslow Group want to embarrass her fiancee on live stream, she thought she had a romantic interest in her. Or maybe he was jealous of Darren.Anna, keeping her composure, I have no idea why the President wants you to do that. But If you agree to this condition, the contract is surely yours."Alice hesitated, her mind racing to comprehend the bizarre demand. How would Darren take the news? Would he agree to do it? "But what about his reputation?" This would be very humiliating."Anna shrugged slightly, "Mr. Winslow's terms are firm. Take it or leave it."Feeling the weight of the decision, Alice contemplated the options. Accepting the condition meant securing the contract and potentially saving her family's reputation. However, the cost was a public and v

Alice, Melissa, and Patriarch Alberto avoided eye contact with Darren, the expressions on their faces were a mix of disbelief and disappointment, they did not know how Darren would react when he found out about the news.He was just humiliated in front of thousands of people on urlive, how would he feel when he realized that everything he did was in vain?Darren, confused looked from one face to another, he glanced at the television which was still mute but the headline was still written boldly below.Darren hurriedly asked"What happened? Did we not get the contract?"Patriarch Alberto spoke up, his voice was filled with disappointment "The President of Winslow Group chose another family for the contract"Darren's face instantly morphed from confusion to anger, his blood began to boil."What?? even after I did everything they asked?" Darren's anger reverberated through the room. "After all that humiliation? What was the point then?" He was just humiliated in front of thousands of p

Seth's eyes narrowed as he spotted James in the boxing ring, a mixture of surprise and disdain crossing his face. He approached the ring with a scowl."What on earth are you doing here, James? let me guess you now work here" Seth said with a mocking tone.Seth also had a membership plan in that particular gym, he had been working there for months before he met James today.James, catching his breath, replied, "Why do the Martinezs feel like they own the whole south district? This gym does not belong to you and I can be anywhere I want to be, I'm not part of your family remember?"Seth was taken aback by James new found confidence, something seemed off about him, he had lived with them for three years and never for once spoken to him in such a manner. Seth slowly paced around the boxing ring "So you now have the nerve to talk back at me just because you work here""And you told you I work here?" James asked glaring at him. Seth expected that James would be on the streets begging, strug

Sophia's desperation to get James to continue the match increased as she made efforts to try and get him to stand up "Come on, James! You can do this!"Seth stood on the other side of the ring, he was enjoying the show, he did not need to train just to fight someone like James, this boxing match was just a walk in the park for him.He felt so happy seeing James on the floor unable to get up as the referee was counting down."You are nothing! And that's what you'll always be... The useless son-in-law!" Seth said laughing hysterically at James who was on the floor.Seth's taunting laughter and last words 'the useless son-in-law' echoed in James' ears.4... 3..." The referee's countdown continued.All of a sudden James stood up, fueled by a surge of determination, James rose from the floor just before the final count, he stood tall, shaking off the pain that still resonated through his body.The whole gym fell into a stunned momentary silence.Seth's arrogant expression wavered, and was

The guards glared at James, it seemed he was not satisfied with the beating they gave him the other day, they were even surprised that he survived, they guessed he was back for more.James, maintaining his composure, looked at the guards with a calm expression. "I'm here to make a reservation for the Sky Garden.The guards exchanged glances and burst into laughter simultaneously. The guard on the left wiped the tears from his eyes, and managed to speak, "You? Make a reservation for the Sky Garden. You this miserable pauper Where would you see the money for it?"The other had recovered from his laughter and finally spoke "You can't even afford an ordinary table reservation and you want to reserve the Sky Garden?"Cherry Garden has four types of reservation, each type of reservation has a floor in the building.Ordinary reservation, you can only eat in the lobby, which is on the ground floor of the building, a reservation costs only $1000.Silver reservation can eat on the second floor
