A few days later, Steve Hart finally made an appointment to meet with Brandon Lee.Steve Hart had not been contacted by Agatha for a few days, so Steve Hart planned to first find out more about the person who would become his enemy.Daniel Taylor, the name is quite disturbing to Steve Hart. This is because Steve Hart knows firsthand how worried Agatha was when she found out her parents wanted her to be close to Daniel.Steve Hart, who was sure Brandon Lee must have information regarding Daniel, immediately asked to meet, this is what made Steve Hart now in the city's largest mall."Brandon, where are you? I've arrived at the appointment," Steve Hart said to Brandon over the phone."Hang in there for a second, I'll be there soon," Brandon replied from the other end of the line.The phone finally disconnected and Steve Hart waited according to what Brandon asked him, he just swept around with his eyes to look for Brandon's whereabouts there.Not long after, Brandon finally arrived with
After being gone for not too long, Brandon finally returned. However, he could immediately sense that something had happened between Steve and Zoe while he was away."What's wrong?" asked Brandon Lee, trying to figure out why a strange atmosphere had developed between the two.Steve Hart was silent, he chose not to speak up and let Zoe tell him what happened. Steve wanted to know how Zoe would deflect what really happened."Brandon, your friend seems to be a big fan of mine. I was a little uncomfortable when he kept trying to tease me during your absence," Zoe said with a contrived look of concern.Brandon Lee raised his eyebrows in disbelief and glanced at Steve Hart for an explanation.Steve Hart just smiled a little, he was sure Brandon wouldn't fall for Zoe's ridiculous talk so he chose to remain silent.Brandon, who did not get clarity in that situation, finally chose to divert the conversation by saying, "Never mind, we better go in to watch the movie."Steve eventually went ins
Brandon finally managed to meet the movie theater attendant who claimed to be in charge there, he immediately asked to be allowed to check the CCTV footage of the cinema room where he watched the previous film.The movie theater attendant, who knew who Brandon was, was happy to let Brandon do what he wanted.Brandon, Steve Hart, and Zoe were immediately invited by the officer to the room where the CCTV surveillance was located."Please do what you want, Mr. Brandon," said the officer.Brandon Lee immediately checked what he had come there for, it was the CCTV footage where he had watched the movie with Zoe and Steve.The footage showed everything that had happened in the movie theater earlier, although it looked quite dark, but that did not cover the fact that Steve Hart had not done anything.In the same footage, it can also be seen how Zoe suddenly screamed for no reason, after which Zoe downloaded Steve for harassment."What the ...."Brandon Lee immediately felt angry knowing Zoe
After finishing taking care of Zoe who had dared to be rude and cunning, Brandon immediately invited Steve Hart to stop by at one of the eateries in the mall.Brandon planned to invite Steve to talk about why he was asking to meet, this time there was no Zoe so no one would dare to disturb him."Bro, I'm sorry. I really didn't know that girl was such a bitch," Brandon said, expressing his regret for what Steve had been through.Steve Hart just shook his head, he couldn't blame Brandon because Zoe's attitude was out of Brandon's control."Bro, trust me. I'll never bring just anyone with me when I meet you," Brandon said, although Steve Hart didn't mind, he still felt like he was the one in the wrong there.Steve Hart nodded slowly, "That's better."After his innocence towards Steve Hart subsided, Brandon immediately planned to bring up the main topic of their meeting."Bro, so what made you want to meet me?" Brandon asked.Steve Hart took a deep breath and then relayed his situation, i
In the living room of the Cattegirn family's main house, there were quite a few people who seemed to be seriously discussing something.Agatha was there with her parents, Jason and Olivia, and they were talking with a young man who was none other than Daniel.Daniel did not come there alone, he came with his two bodyguards who were almost always there with him."So, can we just start talking about this agreement we're about to make?" asked Daniel, his eyes occasionally glancing at Agatha full of admiration as well as desire to have her."Of course, Daniel. I invited you here so that we can discuss this quickly," said Jason, he tried to be as friendly as possible so that Daniel would not be disappointed after coming to his house."Then please tell me the contents of the agreement," said Daniel Taylor, he was impatient because he had heard he would get Agatha if he agreed to the agreement offered to him.Daniel's enthusiasm was welcomed by Jason Cattegirn. He thought everything would be
Realizing Steve Hart's presence in their house, Jason and Olivia immediately felt unhappy about it.Daniel felt the same way, he didn't even know who Steve was to dare try to stop him from getting Agatha."Uncle, who is this brat?" asked Daniel, pointing at Steve Hart with a very dismissive impression.Jason immediately tried to calm Daniel down by saying, "He's nothing but a troublemaker, Daniel. You don't have to worry, we will take care of him for you."Daniel nodded happily, he preferred to let Jason do it all for him to add to the impression of how special he was treated there."Then do it, don't let me send my two bodyguards to do this kind of trivial thing," Daniel said, leaning his body against the back of the sofa.Steve Hart clenched his hands tightly at the casual impression shown by Daniel, he felt Daniel was too confident for someone who had dared to try to snatch his wife."Steve, who said you could come to my house like this?" asked Jason, he decided to open his voice r
Steve Hart was silent as Jason and Olivia stared at him, and the couple's lack of words brought an instant silence.Steve Hart who came there just to make sure Agatha was okay, immediately asked, "Where is Agatha?"Jason and Olivia immediately glanced at each other, they were silent for a while before one of them spoke, "In her room, should I call her?"Steve Hart frowned, it was his mother-in-law who had just spoken and he was surprised that there were no swear words in there."No need, I'm already glad to know she's okay," Steve Hart said.Steve was silent for a long time, he seemed to be waiting for something to come out of his father and mother-in-law's mouth. After a long time of waiting, the insults that Steve usually received from them were not heard, making Steve begin to understand the situation."What did that asshole Daniel ask for that you don't blame me for making him leave?" asked Steve Hart.Jason quickly explained that Daniel had asked for his daughter's wedding to tak
Steve Hart just stared at Daniel expressionlessly when Daniel looked so emotional, Steve realized that what he had done seemed to have hurt Daniel's pride so badly.Steve, curious about how Daniel would make him regret it, immediately asked, "You want to make me regret it? In what way?"Daniel glanced at his two bodyguards, he had threatened to fire them if they failed to repay what Steve had done to him."Now do your job, I will no longer be kind enough to give you a chance if you fail again this time," Daniel said to the two.Daniel's two bodyguards immediately nodded in understanding, although they realized Steve Hart was not an easy opponent to face, they still intended to try because they didn't want to lose their jobs.Steve Hart raised his eyebrows when Daniel's two bodyguards began to prepare to attack him, this made Steve Hart curious about where the source of their confidence came from."You guys know there's no regret after challenging me, right?" Steve Hart asked the two b
The Cattegirn family, who had lost their weapon to fight against Steve Hart, ultimately had to surrender. They tried to figure out ways to calm Steve Hart's anger, which was now glaring at them so sharply."Darn it, what's happening? Are we going to lose all our assets?""What are you talking about? We wouldn't lose everything if we had just accepted Steve Hart's offer from the beginning. If we did, at least Steve Hart would have kindly let us continue enjoying all those assets.""You're right, we messed up."Almost the entire Cattegirn family agreed that their stubbornness had indeed led to losses. Their refusal to submit to Steve Hart now was leading them to ruin."Uncle Jason, please do something.""That's right, Brother Jason. If necessary, tell Steve Hart that we accept his offer.""I agree, at least that's the only way for us not to end up living as beggars after daring to offend him."All the other members of Cattegirn family began pleading with Jason and Olivia to resolve the
"Am I late?"A beautiful girl entered as if nothing had happened, casually approaching Steve to join Brandon in standing by Steve Hart's side."I, Helena Halbert, will represent the Halbert family in expressing support for Steve Hart. Whatever happens here, even if it means offending the Bridge family, the Halbert family will do its best to prove its seriousness in support," Helena said loudly so that everyone there could hear her."Helena, what do you mean? Why is the Halbert family doing this? Does that scumbag deserve your support like this?" Mark Bridge asked, not expecting Brandon alone to support Steve Hart, let alone Helena.Mark, who initially believed he could stubbornly make Agatha his fiancée, suddenly doubted whether this was worth it or not.Mark might still have confidence in handling the Lee family easily, but if the Halbert family also intervened, then this was a different story.The Bridge family might be strong and surpass the other two influential families in Avebur
BAM!Steve Hart's punch landed squarely on Mark's chin, causing Mark to stagger before falling because he wasn't prepared for it."Damn it! How dare you!""Everyone, move to protect Mr. Mark right now!""Stay away from Mr. Mark, hit him if necessary if he keeps trying to resist!"Quite a few people in the living room reacted strongly to Steve Hart's punch. Steve Hart didn't recognize who they were, but he could guess that they had come with Mark."Darn, for someone who dares to try to put your hands on my wife, you're quite the coward," Steve Hart said to Mark.Mark Bridge heard this and immediately ordered them to stop. Mark didn't want them to get involved because it would hurt his pride."Haha, you can go," Mark said, rising from his fall."Mr. Mark, are you okay?""Mr. Mark, why are you stopping us from teaching him a lesson?""Mr. Mark, that scumbag has gone too far, he should at least feel a few broken bones as punishment."The people stopped by Mark seemed dissatisfied; they qu
Steve Hart returned to the living room with confidence, the presence of Mark Bridge not bothering him in the slightest, let alone making him fearful.Simultaneously with Steve Hart's appearance, Agatha followed closely behind him. Agatha seemed to be hiding behind Steve Hart, afraid of every person in the living room, not wanting to feel the hateful gazes from them due to her sudden change of decision.Initially, Agatha had agreed to her engagement, pressured by her family to make that decision. Seeing her suddenly change her mind naturally angered every Cattegirn family member present.The Cattegirn family felt betrayed by Agatha, their sole rescuer, if only Agatha hadn't suddenly turned to side with Steve Hart like she was doing now."Agatha, what is the meaning of all this?!""Agatha, didn't you already agree to this engagement?!""Agatha, are you insane to decide to side with him and plan to disrupt your engagement with Mark?!"Each member of the Cattegirn family present asked ang
Steve's sudden entrance truly succeeded in catching the entire household off guard. The living room was indeed bustling with activity, mostly from the Cattegirn family, but there were also quite a few unfamiliar faces that Steve didn't know."Am I interrupting your event?" Steve Hart asked, his tone piercingly cold to those who heard it.Steve's question was not well-received by most people there; one of them even approached Steve with an angry expression.Olivia Cattegirn, Steve's mother-in-law, approached him and promptly pulled him away from the living room."What wicked plans do you have by coming here?!" Olivia exclaimed loudly, simultaneously slapping Steve's hand.Steve raised his eyebrows; he remembered vividly how just a few days ago, his mother-in-law seemed so hesitant and even afraid of him. Now, that fear seemed to have vanished, and Olivia appeared to be back to treating Steve as she pleased.Steve didn't dwell on Olivia's change in attitude. However, he already knew the
In the luxurious courtyard of the Cattegirn family mansion, Steve could see it bustling with invited guests, all of whom seemed surprised by his presence, as if his arrival was the last thing they expected."What's he doing here? Wasn't he supposed to be kicked out?""Maybe he's here to deal with his divorce from Agatha. Just let it be, there's no need to pay him any mind."Steve overheard the nearby conversations clearly, which only fueled his anger.Steve knew exactly why they were all gathered at his wife's family home. He had heard it from Brandon that the Cattegirn family was secretly attempting to arrange a marriage for Agatha behind his back."Agatha hasn't even divorced me yet, and you're all rushing to make decisions," Steve Hart muttered.Steve questioned what the Cattegirn family truly thought of him, realizing how much they were belittling him and disregarding his existence.Steve could entertain such thoughts because the marriage arrangement the Cattegirns were attempting
Having to endure the barrage of punches from Steve Hart, Howard, accustomed to instilling fear and commanding respect from others, suddenly found himself questioning his own abilities.This dealt a severe blow to Howard's pride. His confidence waned, along with his courage. Confronting Steve Hart, who stood before him, Howard realized the extent of his terror, rendering him powerless against Steve's onslaught."W-Wait, please cease hitting me," Howard pleaded softly, gazing at Steve Hart, yet Steve appeared disinclined to comply."Why should I acquiesce to your request?" Steve countered.Howard clenched his teeth, feeling overwhelmed by it all, then erupted vehemently, "Enough, you lunatic!"Howard's shout managed to stun Steve Hart for a moment. Seeing an opportunity, Howard immediately tried to break free from Steve Hart before running as fast as he could to escape from there.Steve just watched Howard running away from him, he had no desire to chase him, thinking it would just be a
After hearing the disrespectful words spewing from Steve Hart's mouth, Howard Harris immediately took steps to attack Steve Hart.Howard attempted to strike Steve Hart with all his might, intending to make Steve Hart fall with a single blow."Damn, do you even know who I am?" Howard asked as he swung his fist.Howard's punch was easily handled by Steve Hart, who dodged it effortlessly, almost as if he had done it without even trying.Howard Harris didn't give up after Steve Hart successfully avoided his first punch. He immediately tried to swing another punch, this time aiming for Steve Hart's abdomen.Steve quickly leaped backward before the punch could land on his abdomen, once again successfully evading Howard's attempted punch."You're quite impressive," Howard Harris said.Steve Hart smirked, "I could do it because your punch was too weak, there's nothing to boast about in that."Howard Harris glared at Steve Hart sharply, suspecting that Steve didn't know who he was to dare say
Steve Hart left the hospital with a wide smile on his face, not expecting his plan to instill a sense of remorse in Daniel to go so smoothly, but everything went according to his expectations.The $10 billion now in his pocket was evidence of his success, making Steve even more excited to step into a brighter future.The success of making Daniel realize his mistake didn't satisfy Steve. He felt there was one more thing he needed to do, which was to get an answer from the Cattegirn family regarding his offer.After a few days had passed, Steve felt it was enough time for his in-laws to decide on his offer. This prompted him to drive his car to the main house of the Cattegirn family to get the awaited answer.Steve arrived there with high hopes that his in-laws would accept his offer, especially since he made the offer solely for the happiness of Agatha, his wife.On his way to his wife's family house, Steve saw a girl who seemed quite familiar to him.The location where Steve saw the g
