"Clara! Are you planning to deceive my friend?" Ansel said as he got to their table.Smith didn't expect that Ansel would be here, he wanted to introduce Ansel to Clara but when he heard Ansel mention her name, he assumed that Ansel must have met Clara somewhere.Perhaps he had treated Clara in the past."What are you doing here, Ansel, don't ruin my good moment." Clara sneered, she held up her hands and wiggled her fingers in an attempt to make him jealous.What she didn't know was that Ansel didn't feel anything towards her.The feeling he had for her died the moment they divorced.Ansel shot her a hard glare.“What are you doing here?” He asked again, this time, his veins bulged and it was obvious that he wasn't here for jokes."Hey! My boyfriend just proposed to me, what's your problem?" Clara said, even though the word “boyfriend” sounded a bit strange to her.She was only with Smith because of a reason and hadn't expected him to propose to her with an expensive ring.But who was
"Stay out of my way! I'm not giving this back. That's not fair." Clara pouted, she crossed her arms around herself and then went on to pretend like they were the big bullies.However, Smith's heart was now cold towards her and he felt nothing but disgust.He went on to grab her hand. Skillfully, he slid the ring down her hand and then got hold of the ring.Without any more words, Smith walked out of the restaurant angrily.The heartbreak that he felt was more than enough.Inside the restaurant stood Clara in shock, she didn't expect that Smith would do something as outrageous as that.How dare he?Ansel was also about leaving, but he thought of dropping an advice for Clara before he finally left."Stick to Kelvin when next, no one's going to buy this act of yours." Clara felt ashamed, she turned her face away and then a thought popped into her mind.Did Ansel ruin her relationship because he was still interested in her.Could this mean that he still had feelings for her?If that was
As Ansel walked out of the restaurant, he caught sight of Clara leaning by his car, she was making a phone call.Ansel shook his head when he saw how she acted like a boss.Meanwhile, Clara was waiting for a cab, she didn't notice that Ansel was staring at her.Busting the loud bubblegum in her mouth, she gave Ansel a curious gaze.Had he come to beg her?She leaned against the Rolls-Royce phantom more comfortably and then ended the call."Why are you staring at me like that? If you need a cab then go get one!" Clara said while chewing her bubble gum loudly.The sound was irritating to Ansel and he blocked his ears."Oh are you staring at my car? It's a pity that I can't give you a ride." Clara said with so much confidence that Ansel almost mistook her lies for the truth.So now she was trying to claim his car?With a smirk on his face, he wondered how far this woman could go."It's such a nice car, but I thought the Arlington's were now poor." Ansel said with a chuckle.Even though t
Clara's body went rigid at the sudden sound of the car window lowering, her heart pounding in her chest like a sledgehammer. When she looked at who the person was in the driver's seat, it was a handsome man.She decided to give him the best smile that she could ever have on her face."Hey, can you unlock the door?" Clara whispered, silently praying that he would play along.Meanwhile, Anthony heard her conversation with his boss and he knew that this woman was nothing but a gold digger.He stared at young master Ansel for a moment and saw him smirking at him .At that moment he got the hint and then said with a snort. "Who are you?" Clara scratched her head, she tried giving her hair a messy and sexy look, there was no man that could resist that."C'mon driver, you know I'm late to the party. Are you trying to go against your boss lady? Open the door." Clara said in a semi harsh tone.Ansel who had been standing at a far distance walked towards the car, he leaned on the door as she
The car arrived at the old antique store.Ansel remembered seeing some of the rare ingredients he needed during his last visit."Wait for me" Ansel instructed sternly as he got out of the car.He slammed the door gently and then walked into the antique store, leaving Anthony alone in the Rolls-Royce phantom.Ansel quickly spotted Mark, the shop owner, tending to customers as he surveyed the antique shop. However, Mark seemed not to notice him, as he was too absorbed in his calculations to look up.Ansel walked towards the shelves, he didn't need Mark to tell him where the ingredients were.Since granduncle broke most of his medicines then he had no choice but to buy them all.He was hundred percent sure that none of the damaged medicines would be useful.That meant a lot of work for Ansel and a frown line appeared on his face as he thought about it.Those medicines had taken him about a year to produce and granduncle threw them on the door like they were nothing.Ansel decided that h
Ray was not just any average citizen - he was the eldest son of the prestigious Lucas Caspian and his companion was Dave, the younger brother of the Caspian family.The sight of Amelia and Ansel's closeness had clearly struck a chord with Ray, and his facial expression did little to hide his distaste.Amelia rolled her eyes at Ray, she had never liked him especially since they seemed to cause so much trouble for the Anderson clan."Ansel is my friend and I want you both to welcome him warmly. " Amelia said with a strong gaze."You don't get to tell us what to do, Amelia. Don't bring a kid into our discussion." Ray scrutinized Ansel, he didn't look more than twenty-five years of age.He shook his head in disappointment, why in the world was Amelia talking to a guy like this?"He is having this meeting with us whether you like it or not Ray" Amelia said before taking a seat, she then gestured for Ansel to sit beside her.Ansel dropped the plastic bags on the table gently.He shot the tw
"Deal or no deal?" Amelia heard Ray's words and sat still, deep in thought. She was considering whether to move forward with the deal or not. Ray and his people had successfully gotten to the golden flower location the last time they tried but Amelia's hired men were murdered in cold blood.They didn't even get the chance to get to the top of the Blue moon mountain.Mark's antique shop was also on the line. Amelia breathed in and out, she wasn't going to give up so easily.Amelia knew that if she succeeded in this mission, the Caspian family would be forced to leave the city for good, bringing an end to the longstanding feud between the two families. Amelia turned to look at Ansel. Even though she wasn't familiar with the crescent seeds, she knew that Ansel was a healer and might have some knowledge about them. But before she could have the chance to ask him, she saw Ansel talk to the two men with a serious face."Did you just say the Crescent seeds?" Ansel asked, his eyes showing
"Miss, you don't understand what I'm feeling! I'm about to lose my store because of you!" Mark spat out venomously.Sighing, Amelia gritted her teeth. Even she had never expected them to demand for the antique store.It was something that she never saw coming.At this point, she wished she could unsign the contract.Amelia understood why Mark was acting like that. However, she was an investor too, so she knew that she would be just as affected by the deal."Mark, if you don't want to help me then it's fine. I will also stop investing in this store and take back all that I have given to you." Amelia said coldly, there was no emotion on her face.Mark shivered slightly, her words sounded like a threat to him.If she stopped investing in his shop then it meant that the store wouldn't exist in her absence.Mark had no choice but to agree to whatever she said. He felt thousands of needles pricking his lips as he opened them to speak.With no other choice, he said quietly. "I'll join you i
