Mr. Hilman looked straight toward Zander and Biella’s table. “Mr. Death also sent a special message stating that he highly values the hard work of this couple. Anyone who looks down on them is the same as looking down on Mr. Death’s own decision.”Everyone’s gaze now turned to Zander and Biella. The whispers completely changed, from mockery to praise and hidden envy.“It seems the rumors are true. Mr. Death really supports them.”“Zander Guezz is not an ordinary man. Just look at how this decision was made so quickly.”Goza felt his knees weaken. Harris swallowed hard. Yahya immediately lowered his head, not daring to look up.“Applause for Xanta Group,” Mr. Hilman said.Zander and Biella slowly stood up and nodded respectfully toward Mr. Hilman on the stage. That simple gesture made the applause grow even louder.Zander glanced briefly at Goza, who now stood stiff like a statue. A thin, almost invisible smile appeared on his lips.“Mr. Goza,” Zander said in a flat voice, yet clearly

The crystal chandeliers in the luxurious hotel ballroom reflected sparkling light in every direction, making the atmosphere feel even more grand. However, behind polite smiles and glasses of expensive wine, the air was filled with a sharp sense of rivalry.Zander and Biella walked slowly toward the table prepared for them, a small table at the edge of the room, far from the center of attention where the members of DELTA Group were seated. That alone was enough to make the whispers grow louder.“Why are they placed over there? Like second class guests.”“Xanta Group? They just rose from the dead. How dare they come here.”Biella felt all those piercing stares. Her hand trembled slightly as she held Zander’s arm, but she forced a smile. “They really do not like us being here,” she whispered softly.Zander only glanced briefly toward Goza and his two friends, who were laughing loudly. His eyes were cold and expressionless. “Ignore them. Tonight is not about them.”They had just sat down
0089-A Banquet
Nora walked quickly out of the room, her chest pounding as she tried to hold back the tears threatening to fall. Outside, the evening wind swept through her hair, but the burning heat on her cheeks refused to fade. She felt humiliated—not only as an actress but also as a woman who had tried to charm Zander.Meanwhile, inside Biella’s office, silence filled the air after the door closed. Biella stared at the door Nora had just shut, her expression showing deep disappointment.“Do you really not know her?” Biella asked softly, still hoping her husband had a better reason than simple forgetfulness.Zander looked at his wife and slowly shook his head. “Maybe I helped her once,” he said flatly. “But I truly don’t remember. During the war, I helped many people like soldiers, civilians, even volunteers. It’s impossible to remember them all.”Biella lowered her gaze. She knew Zander did not mean to sound cold, but disappointment still pierced her heart. She felt she had failed to seize t

“I had a relationship with Zander in the past.” Biella fell silent. But she tried to stay calm, attempting to think positively. “Oh... so you two are old friends?” Nora shook her head slowly but firmly. “More than that.” Those words made Biella’s chest tighten. Yet she didn’t show any strong reaction. She simply turned to Ve and said in a flat tone, “Call Zander. Tell him to come here now.” Ve bowed and quickly walked away. Meanwhile, Biella stood stiffly, hiding the slowly boiling feelings inside her chest. She tried to stay rational, to look professional. But behind it all, she knew she was feeling jealous. She didn’t understand why her feelings for Zander ran so deep. Even though she herself couldn’t fully remember everything about their past. But there was something in her heart that couldn’t be denied—something that struggled when hearing that another woman had Zander... more than just a friend. He was already her legal husband. Their marriage was not fully based on love
0087-Excuse Me...
In a dimly lit room with a warm atmosphere and the scent of old roses, Darren sat across from Madam Nousa, who looked elegant and calm as always. Between them lay a leather folder containing important documents. Madam Nousa pushed the folder toward him with a steady hand. “I have prepared everything,” she said softly but firmly. “This is the business you will take over.” Darren opened the folder slowly, flipping through the pages inside — details of assets, financial reports, client lists, and a business structure unfamiliar to him. The longer he read, the more his eyebrows furrowed. “What am I supposed to do with all this?” he muttered in confusion. “This… this is not my field, Mom.” He closed the folder with a heavy sigh. “All this time I’ve managed the technology and heavy equipment business at Xanta Group. That’s my passion. But this? This is prostitution!” Madam Nousa took a deep breath, as if she had expected her son’s reaction. Her eyes looked at Darren softly but with

Biella sat at the end of the long glass table, exuding elegance and charisma. Around her, investors—some from overseas—listened intently to the presentation. Slide after slide displayed Xanta Group’s upcoming plans, which many believed were destined for success. An elderly investor from Pran nodded in approval. “I’ve never seen such a rapid comeback. You’ve truly made us consider a significant capital injection.” Biella offered a diplomatic smile. “We’re not just making a comeback, Mr. Jacques. We’re building a stronger foundation. And this time, we know exactly who stands with us… and who’s merely watching from afar.” *** Meanwhile, at the very top floor of the Xanta Group building, the atmosphere was vastly different. The expansive space resembled a private penthouse more than a conventional office. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls offered a sweeping view of Venua City from one of its most prestigious vantage points. A minimalist bed stood to the left, while a black office ch
