At Cesa Company, Nagid carefully examined the information presented to him. After the incident in Russia, he had been maintaining a low profile and even avoiding the Thompson family for a while, including Emma.

It wasn't because he was afraid or guilty, but because he was planning a big surprise for them. He eagerly anticipated the expressions on their faces when it finally happened. He couldn't wait for that moment.

His phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. It was a call from his secretary.

"Sir, Miss Emma is here to see you," his secretary informed him.

"Okay," Nagid replied curtly and ended the call.

It seemed his dear wife couldn't wait any longer. She must have something for him to accomplish, which was why she had come. But that wasn't his concern because he was already expecting her.

He heard the office door open. Without even looking up, he knew it was her.

He continued going through his files without raising his head. Emma frowned as she observed that he hadn't stopped lookin

    Emma looked at him with surprise. What was really going on with Nagid? She wondered why he was acting strangely, unlike the Nagid she had always known. Was he playing a game or trying to get more attention? If that was his intention, he was doing a good job because she really wanted the old Nagid back.Before she could think any further, she noticed a smile on his face. It seemed like what he had just shown was merely an illusion. Was he playing tricks on her?"Emma, did you hear what I said?" he asked."What are you talking about?" Emma asked, confused."I said, please tell the maids to prepare me some noodles with lots of greens. I've been craving them for some time now," he explained."Oh, okay. I will personally take care of that for you," she responded with a smile.She couldn't understand what was happening at that moment. One minute he would be sweet, and the next minute he would turn cold. Was this some kind of joke?No, she had to get to the bottom of this. "Is everything okay

    In the outskirts of the city, a man lay with his head in a woman's lap while she gently ran her fingers through his hair. He reveled in the heavenly treatment he received from this beautiful woman, who never complained or demanded too much. She only sought to please him, unlike his nagging and complaining wife."You are the best thing that's ever happened to me," Tony said with his eyes closed. His mistress, Tina, was the only woman who made him feel carefree."I only want the best for you, and I would do anything to keep it that way," Tina replied with a smile."That's what makes me love you even more," Tony said, his heart filled with affection.Tina smiled back at Tony without saying a word. He had always admired her calmness and poise. She rarely got angry and always looked at the bigger picture, unlike his wife at home, whose sole purpose seemed to be making his already stressful days even more burdensome.His thoughts were interrupted by a ringing phone. He glanced at the unknown

    Anna parked her car furiously in front of the bank. She couldn't believe the way Bella had been treated. It was unacceptable, and she wasn't going to let it slide. No one could make her friend suffer like this.As Anna entered the bank, she noticed a person talking to one of the bank managers. He seemed familiar, but she couldn't place where she knew him from. Not wanting to dwell on it too much, she brushed it off. After all, she had only seen the person from behind and couldn't see his face clearly.Nagid glanced back and saw that no one he recognized was around. The stare had disappeared along with the person."Mr. Nagid," the bank manager called out, bringing him back to reality."I said the statement would be sent soon, Mr. Nagid," the manager repeated."Oh, that would be very nice. I'll be expecting it first thing tomorrow morning," Nagid replied emotionlessly."Sure, sir.""And make sure the Thompsons don't find out about this," Nagid warned."Sure, you can trust me with this,"

    Those words continued to echo in her mind after Anna said them. What if she was right? Anna exuded such confidence that she could be a high-ranking individual. However, as she looked at Anna's smirking face, she threw caution to the wind and allowed her jealousy to consume her. Determined to make this beautiful woman regret their encounter today, she decided to take action."Having a beautiful face doesn't entitle you to own a bank," she retorted sharply.Finally realizing the true motive behind the altercation, Anna responded, "Ah, I see now. This is quite amusing, just like you." It became clear that this lady was envious of her.However, that did not justify the way she was treating Anna. After all, the bank staff were meant to serve customers, not the other way around. As the crowd murmured among themselves, a voice was heard."What's happening here?" the voice questioned, causing the crowd to part and make way for him."Why is there so much commotion? Why aren't the staff working

    "Yo..." the boss began."Save it, not here," Anna interrupted him."Yes, y... um, sorry, I mean Miss Anna," the supervisor stammered."Please, how may I be of assistance to you?" the supervisor asked."You're George, right?""Yes, Miss Anna," George replied.George felt inwardly anxious. Anna was the most ruthless person he knew. What could be so important that she would be here? And what surprised him even more was that they were alone."Your branch has some interesting people, or should I say workers. Their way of welcoming customers is quite unusual. I suppose Claire isn't aware of this, right?" Anna said without even looking at him.This was bad, very bad. George didn't want to be summoned by his boss for offending Anna. He would rather call Claire himself and inform her about everything rather than let Anna do it. This would ruin him.As he looked at Anna's smiling face, a sense of foreboding washed over him.He remembered the first and only time he had seen Anna.That was also th

    "Your bank disrespected someone close to me, and I need an explanation for that," Anna said angrily."Please, who would dare disrespect your boyfriend in such a manner?" George asked, assuming it was Anna's romantic partner."It wasn't my boyfriend," Anna clarified."But you said 'your person,'" George responded, confused. If it wasn't her grandfather and he wasn't present, then it couldn't be her boyfriend either."It was my best friend, who is like family to me," Anna explained. "You people dared to disrespect her when she came to collect a message from my grandfather. I even called in advance to notify you of her visit, yet you still disrespected her and even went as far as calling her a fraud. How dare you! Not only did you disrespect her, but you also disrespected me. I wonder what Claire would say about this. Maybe she can explain why she allowed such behavior."Anna was seething with anger. Bella was like a family member to her, and she wouldn't let this mistreatment slide. She

    His eyes held fear, but he couldn't utter a scream. It became apparent that they had been deceived. The scared and frightened demeanor of Anna vanished, replaced by a calm expression."She could have sent stronger ones instead of such weaklings," Anna remarked, surprising the men. It seemed her initial fear was merely a ploy to lower their guard.She swiftly pushed the leader, causing him to collapse while clutching his groin in pain. He screamed as he realized the extent of her attack."Get her! Kill this bitch!" he angrily commanded, but the others now understood they were dealing with a skilled fighter, not an ignorant lady.One of the men approached Anna with a clenched fist, aiming to strike her face. However, she evaded the blow and firmly grasped his fist. He couldn't believe that such a delicate and small hand possessed such incredible strength.With a swift motion, Anna twisted his hand, resulting in a bone-cracking sound. The man screamed out in pain as his hand was broken. S

    Emma looked at her mother with a serious expression. She couldn't believe her mother would do something like this. How could she be so careless and indifferent about a matter that could potentially expose their actions without their knowledge? "Why are you looking at me like that? You said you had something to tell me, but I've been here for more than five minutes, and you haven't said anything. You're staring at me as if I've done something I know nothing about," Cecilia said, confused by Emma's gaze. "Mother, how could you do this to us?" Emma said, her disappointment evident in her voice. "I'm extremely disappointed in you." "What are you talking about? You're worrying me. Did something happen to you? Wait, have you heard something about your brother?" Cecilia asked anxiously, a worried expression on her face. Since Nagid helped Kendrick leave the country, she hadn't heard from her son, and she had been concerned that something might have happened to him. "No, mother, this isn't
