Evan gently reached for the necklace, his fingers lightly brushing against Marga's as he secured it around her neck. A mix of excitement and apprehension filled her heart as she realized the significance behind his gesture. After bidding farewell to Mrs. Sanchez, Evan and Marga left the store, their steps carrying them away from the prying eyes of the sales staff."Thank you" Marga whispered, her voice barely audible amidst the soft murmurs.As they said their goodbyes to Mrs. Sanchez and stepped out of the jewelry store, Marga couldn't contain her curiosity. "Sir," she spoke up.Evan looked at her coldly before she continued."Why did you give me this?" she asked, her eyes searching for answers in Evan's gaze.Evan spoke honestly, "Don't misunderstand. It's all part of a show, Marga."Marga's eyebrows raised slightly. "A show, sir?""Indeed," Evan replied, his voice low and intense."Mrs. Sanchez has always believed that I am a poor and worthless husband during my marriage to her dau

Evan's gaze remained unwavering as he locked eyes with Marga. "Long enough to hear about your gossip regarding the necklace, Marga."Marga stumbled over her words, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. "I-I apologize, Sir. I didn't mean—""Enough," Evan interrupted, his tone sharp. "I didn't come here to discuss personal matters. I need to speak with you privately."Marga nodded, a mixture of apprehension and remorse evident on her face. She motioned towards her coworker. "Emily, could you please excuse us for a moment please?""Of course, Marga. I apologize, sir. I'll leave now," Emily replied, casting a curious glance at Evan before refocusing on her tasks.Evan led the way to a nearby conference room, his mind still processing the revelation of Marga's conversation. Once inside, he turned to face her, his features tense with anticipation."What was that all about, Marga?" he demanded, his voice low and controlled.Marga shifted uncomfortably under his scrutiny, her earlier con

Mr. Fuente felt a surge of guilt rising within him, threatening to consume him whole. How dare Evan show his face here, after he fired him a long time ago? How dare he waltz in and act as though nothing had happened?"What are you doing here, Evan?" Mr. San Fuente demanded, his voice laced with venom. Evan's grin only widened at Mr. Fuente's question, a glint of malice dancing in his eyes."Oh, I think you already know the answer to that, Mr. San Fuente," he replied, his tone dripping with smug satisfaction. "I'm here to offer you a deal. A chance to save your precious little company from the brink of collapse."Mr. Fuente's blood ran cold at Evan's words. A deal? What kind of deal could Evan possibly offer him? And more importantly, what strings would be attached?"Don’t tell me you’re Elias' Boss" Mr. San Fuente shook his head.Evan leaned forward, his gaze locking onto Mr. San Fuente's with an intensity that sent shivers down his spine. “Is it hard to believe, Mr.San Fuente?”he

Leo reluctantly agreed to terminate their contract, his voice barely audible as he spoke the words. However, he was determined to fight for compensation for the sudden end of their partnership."I demand 50% of your investment as a penalty for termination," Leo asserted firmly, despite the uncertainty in his heart.Mr. San Fuente's expression softened at Leo's request, a hint of sympathy flickering in his eyes."Very well," he conceded with resignation. "I agree to your terms."Mr. San Fuente shrugged, his gaze fixed on the table between them. "It's just business,Mr. Carter. Do you understand?"Leo felt anger surge within him, but he managed to maintain his composure."Certainly," he replied, his voice unwavering."However, I can't help but feel that there's more to this decision than just business."Mr. San Fuente stood up, his expression unreadable."I apologize, Mr. Carter. I wish you the best in your future endeavors." With that, he turned and left the restaurant, leaving Leo deep

Mr. Sanchez was taken aback by Evan's unexpected generosity. He expressed his gratitude profusely, still trying to process the situation.Mr. Sanchez was in disbelief at what he was hearing. Evan, the man he had once looked down upon as poor and jobless, was now offering him a fortune to make up for his loss."Seriously? Is this for real?" Mr. Sanchez questioned.Evan smiled and urged him to go and reclaim what he had lost. Grateful but still unsure, Mr. Sanchez thanked Evan.Despite his efforts, Mr. Sanchez ended up losing the bet. The realization that he had been outsmarted by both Mr. Fimentel and Evan left him feeling frustrated and defeated. He knew he could never repay Evan the 10 million dollars he had promised."Frustrating! What on earth!" he exclaimed.As Mr. Sanchez pondered his defeat, Evan approached him once more with a surprising revelation."Mr. Sanchez," Evan's voice was calm and reassuring, "I don't expect you to repay the 10 million dollars.'Mr. Sanchez, filled wit
