Noah had been standing towards the trunk of the car, when the second stage of this drama had launched with the arrival of the servants.

He was standing there silently, out of sight but keenly observing everything. And currently, his mind was trying to find out the reason for this sudden outburst of Sabreena.

As far as he knew her, this was highly unexpected from her– not because she loved her niece so much! But she was one of those people who never said something bad to your face or let it show it through their actions, no matter how much they really want to humiliate you from the core of their hearts.

But Sabreena’s coming out into the open, that too in such a loud and carefree manner, was something that had been bugging him.

But the moment Eliana brought up Sienna's name, he noticed a change in the colors on her face.

Within seconds, he understood the real matter: she was doing this because she was still angry about the arrest, and was now afraid of the scandal that was surely goin

    Eliana had already been struggling to keep her calm, even after witnessing the new lows that her family was capable of reaching, all within a day!But the mention of a physical search from Sabreena’s mouth, pushed her over the edge. She lost her composure and screamed, her voice hoarse with authority. “Enough, aunty! I get it, you have your doubts. And although I can't understand them fully, I can still give you the margin to keep those doubts in your head. Because I know they haven't originated in one day, and they aren't going to vanish in one day either.But that does not mean that you are allowed to humiliate anyone you want, on the basis of your assumptions alone! And how dare you think that it will be okay for you to order the staff to check my bags?”Eliana was seething with fury, which she herself didn't know she was capable of. When she spoke next, her voice was icy cold.“I want you to remember one thing, so pay attention because I'm only going to say it once: if you are th

    Eliana looked visibly pale as she felt her head start to spin. She was never expected to hear this statement; that's why she had challenged her aunt's authority in front of her parents. She had genuinely been thinking that her dad was just mad at her because she had chosen to stay with Noah, ditching her family. And he was obviously angry, he doesn't trust him enough to be capable of taking care of her. And while her mother had the same doubts regarding him, she also had some added resentment for believing that he had manipulated Eliana somehow. But what the hell was this! She had never imagined that her own parents would ever doubt that she would steal something from her own house before leaving… she wasn't even planning to leave forever, in any case! In her mind, it was only going to last for a few days before her parents inevitably started to miss their only daughter. But this statement that they themselves had given her the idea to stop them before leaving, had shaken to the

    Everyone who had just tumbled out of the house was already in shock, as they were unable to understand what the matter was; and the more they tried to understand the situation, the more confused they got.Nobody had yet answered the question that David had asked, while Eliana and Sabreena were busy glaring at each other. What was Sabreena doing out here, when she had excused herself from the discussion to call her husband, who was currently overseas, and explain everything to him. While they were still trying to figure out the reason behind her presence, Eliana took it one step further. She started to lay her trolley flat on the ground, unzipped it and then dumped out everything that was inside it, on the driveway.“Are you really out of your mind, Ellie? First, you decided to show your support for this jerk standing right here, and then you announced that you are leaving with him! And now, you are throwing your stuff out?

    Sabreena faced Olivia with the same fire burning in her eyes, obviously being well aware of the unspoken beef that had always existed between both the sisters- in -law.But Olivia had never gotten the chance to say anything or express her feelings out loud, because of Sabreena's mother and brothers, who had always shielded her. After all, she was the daughter of the family, and nobody would tolerate any disrespect towards her. But today, things were different. Somehow, this Olivia had also found a set of wings to fly like her daughter, and the guts to speak back to her.But Sabreena smiled to herself, knew exactly how to drag her down to the ground, real quick.Sabreena's eyes narrowed as she prepared to strike. With an evil glint in her eye, she exclaimed, ignoring Olivia and looking towards David instead. “Brother!

    “Eliana! What kind of a man do you think your father is? Have you really started to think that every man in this world is as useless as your husband, who doesn't care about the respect and dignity associated with himself or the relations related with him?”David's face twisted with frustration and disbelief as he heard his daughter's accusations. For the first time that night, Olivia was completely stunned and her husband's words were echoing exactly that she was thinking, without any intentions to manipulate or hurt someone. David took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling dramatically. Just the thought of this was enough to raise his blood pressure!“Because, apart from this fact, I really can't think of any other situation where you could believe in this bullshit theory of yours– or whoever first thought of it! How could you ever believe that I will ever allow anyone to even touch your bags without your explicit consent? And on top of that, asking them to physically examine

    “What ? No! He hasn't slipped anything into my bags, in fact he was insisting that I take as few things as possible.”Eliana protested, seeing how cleverly her aunt had twisted the narrative and changed the entire plot of the story, in front of her eyes!Noah was right about Sienna; he had warned Eliana that her cousin was only trying to manipulate her all the time. And now, she could see it clearly, in perfect HD quality. After all, Sienna had also taken after her mother; when Sabreena was so talented herself!It was chilling to see someone changing the words she had just said in front of her, so effortlessly, and weaving a completely false story! And when her aunt could do this when Eliana was still standing there, then they could definitely change the circumstances and evidence according to their comfort and convenience!Realizing this, she was going to add this to her statement, but before she could have opened her mouth, Sabreena spoke again.“Look… how strongly he has manipula

    Sabreena knew that there wasn't any other option left for her, apart from checking the bags herself.But still, she was able to soothe her heart with the thought that she was bound to find something in there, that would be enough to create a scene. And then, all this would be worth it!She also knew that no matter how innocent and sweet her niece pretended to be, Eliana wasn't really that dumb to actually believe the idiot and leave almost empty- handed. Even if she has packed her entire set of jewelry, it would be enough for Sabreena to show her brother that her fears were not completely baseless. In fact, this was exactly what she was fearing, that this man would manipulate Eliana to take her entire collection of precious jewelry from the house! And then, who knew what he would do once they were alone?

But she had no idea how wrong she was!Sabreena looked at her like she had gone completely mad, her eyes were wide as saucers as she shouted at her;“Don't lie to me! I know my mother hasn't given you this. Do you take me for a gullible fool? I'm not like your parents, who will happily swallow whatever bullshit comes out of your mouth!

    Noah was sitting in the garden, trying desperately to calm himself as he had been feeling a little uneasy because of the way things had unfolded.He had spent most of his life away from home, this is why, he knew the value of family. He had also met several people who were dark to the very core, but for some reason, he thought that Liam was different…Noah had a feeling that everything he had been doing so far, was just because something that he thought would always remain his, had been snatched from him in the middle of all the succession drama… and especially because of Noah himself.So it was a logical thing that he hated him from the core of his heart… but he had also seen his affection towards their grandpa. He was lost in his thoughts, staring off into the distance… when he noticed some disturbance near the ivy vines, lurking by the southernmost boundary of the garden.He rose from his seat and started walking towards the boundary; and Ben snapped to attention.He had been stan

    “Killed him? Dad!! You are saying you killed him… wasn't his death an accident? Then how is it possible that you are the reason behind–”Liam didn't even realize that he had started to interrogate his father under the effect of his anxiety on hearing the last words spoken by him.Till now, he had been thinking that they were standing on the right side of the situation as well as the history that was yet to be written. He really believed that they were the oppressed ones who had always been discriminated against, trying to fight for their rights which had unjustly been snatched from them.But after hearing his father's nonchalant response, he wasn't able to think straight anymore. He was ready to go to any extent to get what really belonged to him, but killing someone was something he could never imagine doing… nor was he able to digest the fact that his father was a murderer.But before he could have completed his statement, Otis interrupted his rambling. “Yes!

    Sabreena hesitated in the doorway, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she clutched a large bouquet of white lilies. She took a deep breath before stepping into the living room, her eyes darting around nervously and scanning the faces: her brother was looking at her with confusion, while Olivia’s gaze was sharp, Eliana’s gently curious, and Noah was stoic and calm; although his calm demeanor wasn't exactly helpful in taming her anxiety.Finally, with a forced smile, she spoke up. “Oh, come on, Olivia…” She started awkwardly, the bouquet trembling slightly in her hands. “How long are you going to hold on to some… some small incident from ages ago? Why would I insult him? I… actually, I have come to thank No- I mean, Mr. Kingsley.”Eliana shot her mother an amused glance, while Noah remained silent, his face unreadable as Sabreena took a few steps forward, extending the bouquet of lilies towards him.

    Liam threw down the glass vase which was placed on the side table in his room, sending it crashing to the floor, as soon as he noticed his parents trying to enter his room once again.It had been four days since his return- or to be honest, the rather rude way in which he had been thrown out, not just from the party but from the city itself. The security had unceremoniously dumped them on the first flight back to Edinburgh, without caring which class tickets were available. And apart from declaring in front of his parents that he had failed miserably, he hadn't given any specific details to his parents. Instead, he had locked himself in his room, boycotting everything: from eating properly to speaking to his parents.In fact, since last night, he had not even touched the food, even for once… and this was making both Otis and Viola more and more tense with every passing second.Even though they were aware that the deal had slipped out of Liam's hands, they were still trying to keep th

    “What? Richard Jensen was there too?!” Eliana’s voice burst out in surprise from Noah's phone speaker, her lovely face filling the screen of their video call as she heard the entire story from his mouth. She leaned closer, her eyes wide with disbelief, while Noah glanced into the screen as he replied while preparing to go to bed. “Oh yeah! And he had plenty to say against me at first, calling me a scammer and whatnot. But as soon as Grandpa Omar and Norm showed up, he went quiet and practically disappeared into the crowd, fearing for his own safety.”Eliana burst into laughter, covering her mouth. “After what happened last time, I can’t believe he had the nerve to show up and then also splash mud on you! I mean, did he get the guts?”Noah chuckled. “Apparently, he bribed the event organizers for an invitation. And I guess he was really feeling frustrated after our last meeting, and thinking that he had nothing more to lose now, just vented out all his anger. His little scam was

    “I understand, Grandpa Omar, that you’re not much of a drinker.”Noah continued with a steady voice, meeting some raised eyebrows from the people gathered around there. He continued, knowing that his words were surely having some effect, since Norm and Omar were looking at him with curiosity now, instead of suspicion. “I am also aware that you, Grandfather Norm and my grandfather have planned to visit Edencrest Estate together after the signing of the deal, and finally share the bottle of wine purchased so long ago. That is why I have ensured that the other bottle has safely been delivered at your residence, as the homage to that promise.”He glanced at the broken necklace on the floor, and everyone else's eyes followed; to the place where Sienna had thrown it after snapping the string and causing the pearls to scatter in all directions. “And I apologize for the condition of the necklace. It was a vintage heirloom, and though it was meant to be my gift to Eleanor, I shall make sure

    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

    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

    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
