After a long and emotional argument, Alice finally let out a deep sigh and looked at Zuri with a slightly softer expression."Zuri, I understand that you feel betrayed, but I never intended to deceive you." Alice was now much calmer. "How about we just consider this a misunderstanding?"Alice didn’t want to drag this out any further. Truthfully, she was afraid of Blake’s threats. If he hadn’t intervened, she would have pushed forward to claim her big profit.Zuri crossed her arms and scoffed. "A misunderstanding? I was clearly being played!"Alice gave a small smirk. "Alright, if that’s how you see it. But look at it from another perspective—you now know the jewelry is real, and you could make more than $50,000 from it. So, neither of us really lost, right?"Zuri scoffed again, but deep down, she couldn't entirely argue with that. She glanced at Alice, weighing her words, before finally letting out a long sigh. She couldn’t keep holding a grudge against her friend forever."Whatever.

Blake remained standing tall, his gaze cold and unwavering as he stared at Nico. In front of him, the man in the maroon shirt continued grinning arrogantly, while Carter sat on the ground, clutching his bruised and reddened hand from being stomped on."You’d better just walk away," Nico waved his hand dismissively, his tone dripping with mockery. "Otherwise, you'll end up like this loser here."Blake didn’t react to the provocation. His eyes remained fixed on Carter, who was clearly in pain. He could see the fear in the bespectacled man's expression."Just go," Carter muttered, not wanting to drag Blake into his troubles.Blake stayed silent, unmoving. He figured this kind of thing must have happened before, but he understood just how much Carter was suffering.His gaze returned to Nico, now colder than ever. "You’re going to get into trouble for doing this."It was both a warning and a firm statement, meant to make them think twice about repeating their actions—whether in the office

The arrogant laughter of Bill and his friends immediately stopped the moment Willem arrived. It was as if the air in the room had suddenly grown heavier. Their faces paled as they exchanged nervous glances.Carter, still lying on the floor, gasping for air with blood at the corner of his lips, slowly turned his head. He saw a man in his fifties standing tall at the doorway, exuding an aura of authority and cold composure.“Unbelievable... Uncle Willem actually came,” Nico muttered, nudging Bill’s arm. He never expected that the stranger they had been dealing with actually knew Willem.Bill swallowed hard. His hands, which had been raised in arrogance moments ago, were now clenched into fists in unease. “U-Uncle Willem…” he stammered, his once-confident tone now shaky and uncertain.Nico, who had been acting so aggressive earlier, now stood stiff and tense. He tried to keep a neutral expression, but his fear was evident.Willem’s gaze swept over the scene, his eyes narrowing when he sa

Today was Amora’s birthday. The morning air felt brighter, more invigorating. Blake, Amora’s husband, had planned a special surprise— a vacation! A smile bloomed on Amora’s face as she imagined the adventure that awaited. However, a hint of doubt still lingered in her heart."Are you serious about taking me on a vacation, Blake?" Amora asked, her voice laced with disbelief. A sweet frown appeared on her beautiful face. She truly hadn’t expected this. The surprise felt almost too good to be true.Blake smiled and nodded gently, his eyes shining with genuine affection. "Since when have I ever lied to you, my love?"Amora gave a small, shy smile, still struggling to fully believe it. "No, you’re right—you’re not good at lying. But your words still caught me off guard. I... I’m so happy." She wrapped her arms tightly around Blake, her heart overflowing with gratitude and love."I planned this just for your special day," Blake murmured, returning her embrace. He leaned in, pressing a soft

A flood of comments poured into Amora's vacation post. While many congratulated her and left compliments, a significant number of negative comments questioned the authenticity of her luxurious trip. Some accused her of using filters or edited photos, while others blatantly called her a liar. Even worse, some speculated about Blake’s wealth, insinuating that there was something shady behind the extravagant display. Their words were harsh, leaving an unsettling feeling in Amora’s heart.At first, Amora ignored the negative comments. However, as they kept coming in waves, she couldn’t help but feel disturbed. Frustration built up inside her, and the excitement she had felt earlier slowly faded, replaced by discomfort. She couldn’t understand—why were people so quick to judge and doubt her? Hadn’t she shared her happiness sincerely, without any hidden agenda?"Why are they so annoying!" Amora grumbled, her face scrunching in frustration. She let out a deep sigh, trying to calm herself.Wh
