By the time Robert could have understood where that slap had come from, he was greeted with another tight slap on the other cheek as well.Grabbing him by the collar, the President spoke up, seriously considering giving him a third one.“You idiot!!! Is this why I have promoted you to be the Senior Manager of the bank?! So that you end up offending my most prestigious and rich client? How dare you say these things to Mr. Kingsley…”“Uncle!! Wait, wait! At least listen to me before you slap me again. Trust me, I am not lying, he is really not Mr. Kingsley!! He is a con man, who is here to con all of us and escape after it… just think about it yourself, what will we do if he runs away with all the valuable things that the locker has–”“Don't worry about that, I am not going to run away with the things that are present in my locker. Instead, I am just going to get them transferred to the Grigtons!! Which I believe is your rival bank? I guess, only then will I be able to get the premium s
Noah's pov:Only a few minutes later, Ben and his associates were standing in front of me. Fear– pure, unadulterated fear– was completely visible on all their faces, and they were definitely contemplating the time they had chosen to believe Sienna and stand against me because of her. Even out of them, Ben was the most fearful one; he had not only believed Sienna, but was trying to stop me from the beginning. He was the one who had called his associates too, dragging them into this mess as well. And this guilt was perfectly visible on his face. Not wanting to unnecessarily stretch things out for too long, I was about to open my mouth and announce my third wish.But before I could have gotten the opportunity for that, the President opened his mouth. And for some reason, he started to yell at the top of his lungs. “Mr. Kingsley! I got it… I got it, I got what you wanted to do after calling them inside, since my stupid Senior Manager has told me everything in detail just now. Please
Sienna was chirping like a bird, to make herself look as young as she could, knowing that it was the only thing with which she could still attract the attention of Liam and other men of the upper classBecause no matter how oblivious she was, she was well aware of the fact that she could never be as beautiful as Eliana– nor could she have a luck like her, that even after being married to a loser like Noah, people were still going crazy over her.Whereas, nobody had even laid a single glance over her after she has stepped out of the prison cell.In fact, she had been served with the divorce papers in the prison cell itself, and no matter how hard her poor mother had been trying to get her out of jail, but she hadn't succeeded.Well, until a few days ago… out of nowhere, she had found her lucky star shining on the sky once again, as she finally got out of the prison without even a single trial.And not only this, but she also got the invite and the proposal of being a date for the riche
Through the carousel of expensive cars that were gathering outside the venue, a brand new red Corvette convertible sped forward and came to a stop and two people stepped out of the car. As soon as Liam reached the venue, both his friends were there to welcome him– not in person, but their representatives had been standing by the entrance, waiting for him to arrive with his plus one.He gave them a smile, acknowledging their presence, before he curtly instructed them to pick up the gifts from their car and bring them inside, before parking the car for him.Because he and his wife would be walking inside by themselves. The woman's smile flickered briefly as she heard his words, but she recovered almost instantly, her voice smooth and professional. "My assistant will gladly help with the gifts, sir.”She said, gesturing to a well-dressed young man nearby. "And I shall escort you in personally. After all, Ma'am Fontaine requested special protocol for her old friends."At the mention o
For a moment, the smile, allure and the life all three of them vanished from Liam's face, as few moments ago, he has been smiling after imagining that how he has finally won everything and now there no one to play their chance.But seems like his destiny was a little adamant to give him everything that he deserves easily or else there is no way that Noah could arrive in this party, let alone know about this.But on the other hand it was not just something for Sienna to be surprised but it was a complete shock for her, that he was not only here in a completely different city, but is also roaming to the luxurious places, like the bank in the morning and now in this party.But even if she ignored this fact , she is still not able to digest that he has somehow escaped those guards, as they were not only big in the build , but they were too dumb to believe anyone with tears in their eyes.And while she was thinking all of this, she heard Liam murmuring;“What is he doing here, how does he
At the time when Noah had entered the venue, hardly anyone had noticed him in the middle of VIP guests, each more prestigious than the last.As long as he had an invite and the security had allowed him in, only a fool would waste their time questioning a nobody instead of making the most of this opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the most important people in the world. However, as Liam and Sienna started to mock and humiliate Noah out loud in the open, a crowd slowly started to form around them.The guests started to point him out specifically, murmuring about the possibility of him being a con man and still dodging the security arrangements at this venue.Meanwhile, Noah was standing at his place, completely unfazed by their speculations and instead maintained his calm with a smile that didn't even budge for a single moment.“And do you mind telling me, when will she become your wife? Because as far as I know, my sister in law was already married to someone else. So I'm assum
Sienna’s eyes narrowed with suspicion as she looked at the scene in front of her. Just this morning, this idiot Noah had been roaming around the city, trying to get access into a high- end bank.And now, he was supposedly surrounded by an army of guards? Something was really fishy…Just then, her eyes landed on the man at the front of the group, and recognition flashed in her eyes. She clenched her fists, it was him! The same gullible bodyguard from the bank earlier that morning; the one whom she had already fed lots of half- truths and mostly lies about Noah, painting him as a dangerous criminal.She had tried to make sure that he wouldn't slip away by any means, but he had. And now she knows how! Feeling a pang of betrayal and anger, she couldn't hold herself back from commenting;“Oh! I see, he has managed to fool you all too! And now you’re siding with him?” Her laugh was bitter, remembering the way this guard had promised her that he would call the police on Noah and that the
Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Noah blinked before responding. “Of course,” he said smoothly. “I am happy to answer any questions you might have to help you see that I’m speaking the truth.”Blaine folded his arms, looking Noah up and down, an expression of irritation on his face. Clearly, he thought it was nothing more than a waste of his time to entertain him, but he had no other choice. “Fine! Then show me what you have brought as a gift for my niece. If you are truly the heir of the Kingsleys, you would know better than to show up empty handed, wouldn’t you?”Noah inclined his head, unbothered by Blaine’s mocking tone. “Certainly, uncle. I’ll show you the gifts I have brought.” Turning slightly, he motioned to one of his guards, who stepped forward, handing him a wine bottle wrapped in elegant packaging. Noah held it, his fingers lightly wrapping around the bottle— the vintage wine he had personally unearthed that morning.He extended the bottle toward Blaine. “This
