"I want you to make an official announcement about the new company's president. However, keep my identity a secret. Just refer to me as a member of the Stone family, Mr Stone" Evan ordered."The second announcement should be about our willingness to cooperate with new companies" he added.Evan had a plan. He knew both announcements would shake the media, grabbing the attention of various billionaires and prominent figures. Most importantly, it would attract the Reynolds's family's attention."Yes, sir. I'll get this done immediately" Bella responded, nodding. As she was about to leave, Evan stood up from his office chair and said,"Also, I want you to know that I won't be here often. So you'll primarily be in charge of the company's affairs""Yes, sir" Bella replied. She understood Evan being the grandson of the Stone's family automatically meant he was a very busy man.Being aware of the numerous companies the Stones owned, she knew that while GigaBank Financial Group is also a sig

Surprised by Evan's boldness, the sales assistant paused for a moment then replied with a contemptuous stare and tone, "Or our security will escort you out!" Her eyes shifted to the side and Evan's gaze followed, noticing the huge security guards closing in, their eyes fixed on him like predators.The voices of the patrons echoed through the store, each adding their own opinion on the scene before them."He sure has a mouth for someone who looks like that" a patron murmured to someone beside her."Tell me about it. Just look at what he's wearing. I wonder how they allowed someone who looks like a peasant to come in here" another chimed in."Can't he see he shouldn't have come here to shop? The things here wouldn't even be in his income bracket" someone else added, their words soaked in resentment."Maybe he's a scammer, like the sales assistant said. They often come in here to take pictures, posing as a customer without buying a thing, just so they can post on social media and show o

"I did. He's with me" Bella interjected, taking Freda by surprise.Freda observed the lady standing beside her ex-husband, and there was no doubt she looked breathtaking. Her beauty was ravishing.Bella wore a tight-fitting scarlet dress that accentuated her curvaceous figure, and while Freda was also a beautiful woman, Bella had a more striking, seductive face that commanded attention.Freda felt slightly intimidated."Oh! You must be Bella Blaze, the vice president of GigaBank Financial Group" she said, forcing a smile. "Nice to meet you. I'm Freda Reynolds""Nice to meet you too" Bella returned the gesture, her smile equally deceptive.Freda then took a proper look at her ex-husband and couldn't deny he looked stunning and handsome, different from the Evan she once knew. There was something in his eyes, something she couldn't explain."How do you two know each other?" Freda asked, glancing back and forth between them with curiosity.Although she tried to hide it, she felt triggered

"What is Evan doing here?!" Caitlin Reynolds asked in surprise, as she was previously unaware of his presence in the hall."I hope this mushhead didn't come here to cause us embarrassment, cause that's what he always does" her elder brother Franklin added in scorn."Why is he walking to the stage? Or is he the presid… no, he can't be" their mother, Felicia Reynolds, panicked.Everyone watched as Evan approached the stage, including Lady Eva Reynolds, who became visibly angry and troubled as she saw him coming.What was the ratchet former son-in-law of the Reynolds family heading up there to do?"I hate this scum! What does he think he's doing?" Lincoln fumed from his seat."Can't anyone stop him and throw his silly ass out?!" George Reynolds, Mrs. Brenda Reynolds' husband, added in annoyance.Freda, Justin, and Betty also watched from their seats with a mixture of shock and disbelief.As Evan ascended the stage, Lady Eva swiftly grabbed his elbow, hissing,"Evan! I don't know why you'

As soon as they stepped outside, their eyes widened in shock and their faces were etched with confusion at what they saw. "Lincoln!" Mrs. Brenda Reynolds screamed as she rushed to her son's side. "Your face is badly swollen, what happened?!" "Did you get into a fight with someone?!" Freda chimed in, her eyes darting around in search of anyone else. "Also, this might not be the right time to ask, but have you seen Justin?!" "Damn, you got knocked out bad" Franklin added, staring at Lincoln's swollen face. Evan had managed to slip away before they could spot him. "T-that scumbag attacked me! When I came out of the hall, he charged at me for no reason" Lincoln said, clutching his ribs in pain. "Evan?" Freda asked in surprise. Why would he attack her brother without any reason? Though she hated Evan, she knew he wasn't the type to start a fight unless provoked. "Yes" Lincoln replied, wincing. "That scoundrel! How dare he do this to my son? I'll make sure he pays for this!
