It was Oliver and Elena's wedding day. The event was hosted in the Grand Albaret Hotel, a prestigious five-star hotel in the heart of the city. All around, important officials, actors, business moguls, and other distinguished guests filled the hall, mingling and observing the lavish affair with awe. "This is the Hoshier wedding, after all," one woman whispered to her friend, her eyes glancing over the decorations with a trace of envy. "I suppose they spared no expense.”Yet, amid the celebrations, conversations took a sour turn whenever the groom’s name was mentioned."Can you believe she’s marrying that man?" another guest murmured, raising an eyebrow. "Oliver may be marrying into the Hoshier family, but he’s hardly worthy. I mean, he’s just a man fresh out of prison!"A suited businessman scoffed, “Elena deserves better—someone like Antonio Casappa, a real man of power. The kind who’s earned his wealth and has a reputation to match.”Heads nodded in agreement as Antonio Casappa’s n

Everyone there was shocked, not least, Mr. Hoshier and Elena who listened to Oliver's voice on the recording shown by Rudolph.They could clearly hear Oliver talking to someone and revealing his plan to marry Elena by approaching Mr. Hoshier.Everything that happened before was a plan that had been made by Oliver so that Oliver could easily take all the property from the Hoshier family. Even in the recording, Oliver said he would kill Mr. Hoshier after Oliver got all his property and divorced Elena."Disgusting...""It turns out that she had planned such a cunning thing just to take all of Mr. Hoshier's property.""They were even married.""But at least they found out about Oliver's crime earlier.""Elena should divorce him immediately before it's too late!""What a shameless man!"Everyone started gossiping about Oliver. They scoffed with looks of disgust and disbelief.Meanwhile, Rudolph, Katie, and Antonio were grinning, full of triumph in their hearts.Antonio didn't know who Rudo

"I disagree and will not let that happen!" shouted David Cooper, his voice sharp and indignant.All heads turned in shock. David, Mr. Hoshier's son-in-law, and husband of Jane Hoshier, stood beside his wife, both visibly seething. The room filled with tension, the festive air of the evening quickly slipping away. Mr. Hoshier, taken aback, approached them calmly."Daddy, are you crazy?!" Jane yelled, her face flushed with anger."That is my decision, Jane," Mr. Hoshier replied, his voice steady yet unyielding."No, I won’t let it happen!" she spat out.Jane’s mother had passed a few years prior, leaving Jane bitter and resentful. Since then, she had moved in with David, fueled by a fierce hatred for Elena, Mr. Hoshier’s eldest daughter from his first marriage. Jane had expected Elena’s life to be one of constant struggle after marrying Oliver, a man she considered to be below her family’s standards. Now, hearing her father’s announcement, her fury only grew.“Jane…” Mr. Hoshier started

Oliver entered the luxurious jewelry store, the soft gleam of overhead lights bouncing off display cases filled with precious stones and metals. The allure of wealth was in every detail: the polished marble floors, the elegant glass cases, and the rare gemstones shimmering within.But one piece caught his eye, a brilliant blue diamond at the far end of the room. Its deep, mesmerizing hue reminded him of the promise he had made to Mr. Hoshier, a promise he intended to keep.As he approached the counter, he recognized a familiar face. Amber, an old friend from school, was managing the showroom with a poised, sharp gaze.She hadn’t changed much—her features were still striking, though her expression now bore a hint of arrogance he hadn’t noticed before. Oliver’s heart pounded slightly as he decided to approach her, hoping their past connection might lend him a bit of luck.“Amber,” he greeted, trying for a friendly tone. “It’s been a while.”Amber glanced up from her work, her eyes widen

Oliver took a deep breath, his eyes calm despite the two guards blocking his path."Shouldn’t you confirm whether I’m lying or not?" he asked, his voice steady. "Do you even know who I am?"The guards exchanged amused looks before laughing."Yes, we know very well!" one sneered. "You’re a beggar, trying to weasel his way in where he doesn’t belong!"Oliver’s mouth twitched into a faint smile as he shook his head."You’re going to have trouble if you keep acting like this to me," he warned. "While I’m still being nice, let me in. Don’t block my way."The other guard chuckled darkly."Let's see what kind of 'trouble' we’ll get into if we drag a swindler like you out of here!" he shouted."Exactly," the first guard chimed in. "Mr. Hoshier will probably praise us for keeping trash like you out!"Just as they moved to seize Oliver, a commanding voice cut through the air."Have you two lost your minds?!"The guards froze, the color draining from their faces as they turned to see Desmond, Mr
