Travis arrived home to a warm welcome from his daughter, Maya. He chuckled, lifting her up in his arms. Glancing around the living room, he noticed his wife wasn't present. A slight frown creased his brow, and he inquired, "Where's your mom?""In the room," Maya responded, pointing towards it.Just then, Joanna emerged from the room, her gaze appraising Travis. "Ah, you're back. I assume the day went without a hitch."Travis nodded, confirming, "Absolutely. I ran into your friend, but it was quite the surprise to encounter your cousins."Joanna shook her head with a sigh. "Ah, those two. Grandma decided to orchestrate a more elaborate welcome for Sophia, even though I'd already informed her that I'd discussed the plans with you.

You made her day e

After ending the call with Travis, Devon gazed at his reflection in the mirror. He was dressed in a sleek black Armani suit, accompanied by a Patek Phillipe watch and polished black shoes. Feeling prepared for the challenges of the day ahead, he mentally steeled himself to face Edwin. He was resolute in his readiness.Exiting his room and descending the staircase, he encountered Mrs. Amber Parker, a woman of exquisite beauty and his mother. She approached him with a concerned expression. "It's the day of your appointment, but are you certain you want to be involved?"Devon let out a slight eye roll and regarded his mother. "Mom, you fret too much. Look at those lines on your forehead," he quipped, brushing his hand over her furrowed brow. "I can handle myself just fine."Madame Amber’s brows furrowed as she let out a sigh. “I know you’re capable, but Bianca… she won’t tolerate this. You might end up on her radar, and believe me, that woman is more dangerous than a cornered beast. I wo

Devon reclined comfortably in his chair, exuding an air of nonchalance and complete lack of fear in anticipation of Edwin's furious entrance. In fact, he casually averted his gaze with a derisive smirk etched on his face.A disapproving snort emanated from Edwin as he stormed into the office, his bloodshot eyes locked onto Devon. "So, it's you, huh? Travis' buddy, living the dream, I presume."Devon's lips curved into a taunting smile as he met Edwin's gaze. "And it's you, the loser." He shot back, his response accompanied by a chuckle.With an air of aggression, Edwin advanced toward the desk and slammed his hand down, creating a resounding thud. "Do you think I'll let any of you get away with this?! This place is mine, and I won't allow you to snatch what belongs to me!"Devon's expression remained composed, his tone unshaken. "Rather than focusing on that, perhaps you should dedicate some effort to uncovering your father's identity from your mother. Then, you can lay claim to what'

Since you have the guts and the face to ask for my help, of course, I'll be glad to be of assistance, Travis. So tell me, what brings an ordinary man like you to my abode?”A flicker of annoyance sparked within Travis, but he swallowed his pride and decided to go straight to the point. “I need to arrange a meeting with Isabella De Luca.”Joyce’s jaw practically dropped, soon giving way to laughter. “Are you being serious right now?

The following day, Joanna informed Travis about her plan to treat Sophia to a meal at a high-end hotel as a way to reconnect with old friends. She mentioned that Sophia wanted to thank Travis for the warm welcome he had extended to her.Travis let out a scoff upon hearing this. “Warm welcome? You can tell her she doesn’t need to bother. What I did wasn’t anything to make a fuss over.”During breakfast, Joanna glanced at Travis and responded, “She probably felt appreciative and wanted to express her gratitude. She mentioned that Williams and Allison were causing a lot of trouble and almost ruined her day, but thanks to you, she managed to escape from that situation. I heard those two got quite a beating. Seems like your security guard instincts are sticking with you like a leech.”Travis wasn’t sure whether to interpret that as a comment or an insult. He could only stare at Joanna with a slightly furrowed brow.He was already contemplating avoiding Sophia due to his lack of trust in he
