"Oh my God, they're awake!"Zuri gasped in shock as she saw Betrand’s men regaining consciousness. Without hesitation, she bolted out of the house, chasing after Amora and Blake."Amora! Amora, wait for me!" Zuri grabbed her daughter’s hand, pointing back toward the house. "They’re awake! Please, don’t leave me. I’m scared they’ll hurt me again."Amora glanced at Blake. Without a word, Blake turned and strode back into the house.The men in black suits scrambled to their feet the moment they saw him. Their faces paled with fear as they immediately bowed before him, then frantically hobbled out of the house, some limping, others staggering in panic."Please! Forgive us!" They clasped their hands to their chests and bowed deeply before fleeing in a chaotic rush.When Amora and Zuri stepped back inside, they were stunned to see the men scurrying away. They instinctively moved aside, giving them space to escape."They're gone now," Amora said as she pulled her hand away from Zuri’s grasp.

Amora was certain that the man who had been her husband all this time was hiding many things from her. From the luxury car, the black card, the men in black who were on his side and always helped them, to this luxurious hospital, which undoubtedly required an enormous amount of money to receive treatment.All this time, she knew Blake as an unemployed man with no job whatsoever, so it was impossible for him to have that much money to do something as extraordinary as this. That was why Amora grew suspicious of him.Blake gently held her hand. "I can't tell you the truth yet, but trust me, because I am an honorable man."Amora stared at Blake intently. She felt doubtful but eventually nodded, trying to understand him because it was clear that only someone with power could do things like this."I'll be ready to wait for you to speak, Blake." Amora gave a small smile, trying to show her trust in her husband.Blake nodded. Amora let go of his hand and turned to look at her grandfather, who

"Just wait and see—you’re going to jail," Robin sneered at Blake as the police car pulled up outside the restaurant.Monica smirked slyly, holding her reddened, throbbing cheek. She would never forgive Blake for what he had done, especially for humiliating her in front of so many people.Two police officers stepped out of the car and entered the restaurant. Robin and Monica grinned triumphantly, laughing in satisfaction."Officers, this is the man who assaulted us!" Monica rushed toward the police as they approached. "Look at my cheek—it’s red and swollen because of him. And my boyfriend’s lip is bleeding because of his violence!""Yes, take him away immediately!" Robin lifted his chin arrogantly. "He deserves to rot in prison. Make sure he receives the harshest punishment for this."However, instead of reprimanding or arresting Blake, the two officers suddenly grabbed Monica and Robin’s wrists, restraining them. The two were completely stunned."What are you doing? Didn’t you hear wh

Zuri was utterly shocked when she heard the price of all the jewelry Blake had given her. She blinked several times, staring at the bracelet and ring adorning her hands."Are you serious that this jewelry is worth 100 million dollars?""Yes, I estimate it to be around 100 million," Zuri's friend said with such confidence that it only made her even more surprised.Zuri's mouth hung open for a few moments before she finally swallowed hard. She began wondering where Blake got that kind of money to buy all this jewelry, and of course, it made her question things even more in her mind."There's no way," Zuri muttered, refusing to believe that Blake had given her an entire box full of jewelry. "These must be fake.""They're real," Alice, who owned a jewelry store, said with certainty. "If you still have doubts and don't believe me, just come by tomorrow to confirm it yourself."Zuri nodded thoughtfully, considering the idea. Looking at pictures alone wouldn't be enough—Alice needed to verif

Zuri stared at Amora sharply, unable to believe that her daughter was still trying to defend Blake. In her mind, it was obvious who was at fault—Blake, for lying to her.With a voice full of anger, she said, "Heartless? The one who's truly heartless here is your pathetic husband for deceiving me!"Amora held Blake’s hand, trying to calm her husband, who was clearly struggling to control his emotions. "Mom, Blake would never do this on purpose—""Don’t defend him, Amora!" Zuri cut her off, her voice rising. "He gave me fake jewelry. Absolutely disgraceful. If he couldn’t afford real jewelry, then he shouldn’t have given me anything at all!"Zuri was beyond disappointed. She had actually believed Blake had given her real jewelry. She had spent the entire night unable to sleep, fantasizing about the fortune she would make by selling them. But now? It had all been for nothing.She scoffed, "Trustworthy? What a joke. You just want to impress Amora, but the truth is, you're nothing, Blake."
