Ian started to rant about his expensive clothes, not caring about Eva, who was crying loudly because of being hurt.

"These are real snakeskin boots, which were imported directly from Singapore, and my leather pants? They are limited edition by a famous designer brand based in Milan, I don't think you have even heard their name anyway!"

Artis just looked at him with a level gaze, and Ian continued;

"Looking at your clothes in comparison, I can see clearly that you won't be able to pay me back even if you worked for ten years! Anyway, that's none of my concern. I want to be compensated for my damaged items, and I will make sure you won't be able to leave without it! No matter which lawyer you call."

Artis ended the call and turned to face Ian with a sardonic smile,

"Oh, I wasn't speaking to a lawyer, just one of my friends. I just called someone who knows a thing or two about teaching arrogant individuals like you a lesson."

Ian scoffed, dismissing Artis' words.

"You think some phone

    To the bewilderment of everyone else, Hena continued;"Tell me, which country's president were you going to meet, that you had to leave my precious granddaughter alone? If you are a professional failure, I am also ready to accept that. But you have one job during the day, one! To look after Eva, and you can't even do that properly?!" Meanwhile, Hena was undeterred as she mocked Artis. "I suppose anyone can play the hero after creating a disaster. I remember how boastfully you were saying at our anniversary dinner, that you will try your best to keep your family together, no matter what happens."She sneered,"At that time, you were acting like you will even climb mountains and cross oceans for the sake of your family. But tell me, Artis, I'm curious. How can you be trusted to keep our family together when you can't even keep track of your own daughter?"Artis, realizing the futility of reasoning with Hena, chose to remain silent, unwilling to escalate the situation further.At this

    Artis was a little taken aback, as he stuttered, "Wha… what do you mean? Tell you the truth… about what?"Scarlet's gaze softened a little as concern appeared on her face, and she asked, "You know what I mean, Artis. How did you really find Eva? I know that it must have been a nightmare for you, but I don't think you were being completely honest earlier."Artis took a deep breath before responding, as he realized how well Scarlet knew him. Finally, now that they were alone, he decided to tell her the truth, as he couldn't tolerate keeping another secret from her. "You are right. Actually, it was a team effort, Scarlet. I had Tim, Chuck, and Dr. Reynolds, along with the police, helping me every step of the way. And thank God for these people, as Eva was in great danger."He sighed as he added, "Eva was abducted from her hospital room, and was almost successfully kidnapped. But she managed to escape the kidnappers at the gas station, all on her own. By this time, we also traced her t

    With genuine concern in his voice, Artis responded, "Mrs Silverman, what's going on? Why do I need to come right now? You are making me worried now, is everything okay?""I don't have time to explain on the phone. I am at the Sunset village, and you'll find me easily. Just get here as fast as you can." Hena insisted without giving out any more details. Artis, sensing the gravity of the situation, assured her, "Okay, okay please relax. I'm leaving right now, I'll be there as soon as possible."As he hung up, Artis couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the story than Hena had conveyed. The urgency in her voice left him uneasy, and he quickly made his way to Sunrise Village.Feeling quite anxious in his heart, Artis made his way to Sunrise Village. It was not too far from the main city square of Lauderdale, and he had rushed out of the hospital as soon as Eliza had come.Eva had not woken up yet, and although he felt a little sad for leaving without saying goodbye to her,

    When Artis refused to act on her instructions within seconds, frustration appeared on her face.Hena shoved her phone in Artis' hand, saying,"Here, just find his number in the list and tell him about this situation. If not you, maybe he will prove to be of some use."She insisted.Reluctantly, Artis dialed Chad Berhans' number, knowing that involving him would have its own set of consequences. First of all, he knew nothing other than boasting about himself; and secondly, Artis had no interest in speaking to his wife's ex boyfriend who was quite obsessed with their family.By this time, the call connected, and Hena stood nearby, her impatience evident. He grimaced as he spoke, as if each word was causing him distress. "Chad… it's Artis Hardy. We are here at Sunrise Village, and there is a protest at Atlantic investments-"Before he could speak further, Chad interrupted him with a shrill laughter."Hahaha, don't tell me you were one of those idiots who invested their money in that fr

    In a quiet corner away from the restless crowd, where Hena led Chad, she whispered to him,"Chad, look, you can't reveal your identity yet. The crowd is still doubtful about Artis, and if they knew you were here, I'm afraid they would mob you. We need you to work from the shadows."Chuck thought in his mind: "This is ridiculous! Why am I hiding? I should be out there, showing them who can actually fix this mess."But outwardly in front of Hena, he just smiled awkwardly and said, "But Mrs Silverman, don't you think that seeing me here will encourage their morale? It might even make them more hopeful that the situation will get better -""Chad, listen to me. I want what is good for your benefit too. Let Artis' name be thrown around in the crowd right now, where half the people are doubtful still. Meanwhile, you just use your connections to solve this situation from the background, and we'll make sure you get the credit once the problem is solved."Chad felt like this was a waste of time

    As Chuck's phone call with Artis ended, the tension on Jerry's face was completely visible.Although he was relatively relaxed when he arrived there, despite the chaos, he began to panic on hearing that Mr Hardy's grandson also had his money stuck in the investment. He knew well enough that he could not afford offending the old man, and the fear of him taking action against Jerry had instilled a fear of the deadly consequences, making him reconsider his actions.He needed to act quickly, and try to maintain peace, or things would go downhill for him really quick. As Chuck walked back to him, he could hear Jerry whispering to himself, "Hardy family? I didn't sign up for this level of trouble."Chuck was quite satisfied with his plan while Jerry was busy contemplating the best course of action in order to mitigate the looming crisis.On the other side, Chad had first wanted to approach Chuck, but then remembered Hena saying that he would get the credit later.So when there was no bene

    Artis clenched his fists, in a dilemma regarding the aftermath of Jerry's misguided actions. He couldn't go ahead and clear things up right now, as it might cause the protest negotiations to take the wrong turn. But at the same time, he couldn't allow Chad to pretend to be the real Artis Hardy forever, or even for today. The truth was bound to come out eventually, and the sooner it was, the better it would be for his reputation. Artis, a man of calculated precision, found himself thrust into chaos, all thanks to Hena's reckless actions. And thanks to Jerry's belief that Chad was the grandson of Mr. Hardy, the storm had become even more intense. Artis had initially called Jerry to the Sunset Village to confront another individual, Jack. And that's why, he had asked Chuck to escort him as well, expecting a discreet conversation to settle matters without the need for public spectacle. As Artis silently surveyed the aftermath, his steely gaze fell upon Jerry, who had acted as an unwi

    CHAPTER 138 END

    Scarlet was still struggling to comprehend the situation as she returned to the room, and Artis could tell by the ashen look on her face that she had just received some major news.But before he could ask about it, they were interrupted unexpectedly due to a call on her phone. Her mom's sharp tone blared through the speakers as soon as she received the call;"Your dad is coming home tomorrow. And if you don't want the whole world to know what an ungrateful little weasel you are, you better come by around noon and sign the papers, the lawyers will be here too.""Mom, I won't –""No! I won't hear any of your excuses. Mark's health is already in bad condition, and I am telling you, Scarlet! If something happens to your dad just because you are being such a brat, I will never forgive you!"With this warning, Hena cut the call, shaking Scarlet from the core. Seeing that her mother's disapproval was not going to go away any time soon, Scarlet was forced to think of the only possible option

    As soon as the bell rang, Artis opened the door, only to find a dejected Scarlet stepping into their home. The concern in his eyes didn't go unnoticed, and he immediately moved towards her."Hey, what happened?" Artis asked, his voice laced with genuine worry. "You look upset."Scarlet attempted to dismiss his concern with a forced smile. "It's just a work- related thing, nothing major."Artis, however, wasn't easily convinced. He could read Scarlet well, and her attempts to downplay the situation only heightened his curiosity."Come on, honey. You know you can tell me anything." Artis insisted, gently placing a hand on her shoulder. "I hate seeing you like this."Despite Artis's caring nature, Scarlet remained guarded."No, I already told you. It's just some misunderstanding at work. I can handle it on my own."Artis's protective instincts started kicking in, as he made her sit on the couch. "Scarlet, we are a team. If something's bothering you, let me help."Scarlet, appreciating

    CHAPTER 136 REMARRIAGE

    As Artis and Scarlet embarked on the journey home after visiting her father at the hospital, the car became a witness to the intimate conversation between them. After holding herself back for the entire day, Scarlet's curiosity about the undisclosed wealth of her family bubbled to the surface, and she gently questioned him regarding his family dynamics. Artis could also understand that she had received quite a shock after coming to know this information, and he patiently tried to answer her questions without giving away too much at the same time. However, their conversation took a more serious turn as Scarlet expressed a concern which she had tried to suppress ever since he had told her about the reason for leaving his family."Artis, you said that you had left them because you didn't agree with a marriage that they had arranged for you. What if… what if they are still resentful because of that? What if we go and meet them, and your parents don't approve of me?"Leaning back in the

    As Dr. Dave Cameron dropped the bombshell about the Berhans family's unethical practices, the gathered onlookers, once swayed by Chad's lies, were now enraged by the truth about the family's history of exploiting innocent people.Angry voices started to rise, condemning Chad for his involvement in these scandals and accusing him of being a manipulative liar. The crowd shifted its anger towards Chad;"He fooled us all with his fake tears and displays of generosity!""I can't believe we fell for his lies, he manipulated us all!""People like him who bully others and then act like victims are a disgrace to the community!"The collective resentment built up as the crowd vented its frustration, realizing the extent of Chad's betrayal."Fool me once, shame on you!""We trusted him and demanded justice for him, and in return, he betrayed us!""I feel so cheated! We won't let you get away with this!""Kick him out! We don't want him here anymore!""Let's make sure everyone knows the truth abo

    CHAPTER 134 FRAUD COUPLE

    In the middle of this drama, a reporter also happened to arrive on the scene, with his full camera crew, making people think that the media had also been alerted about this scene because of the involvement of the heir of such a high profile family. But little did everyone know that this reporter had been tipped off by Chad himself, even before he had confronted Artis and Scarlet. He was fully prepared for both possibilities: if Artis agreed to give a statement, then this reporter would immediately rush to the scene and take his interview ; and if he refused, then too, Chad would get the chance to exploit this drama for a sensational news story. The atmosphere became charged with anticipation as the reporter, armed with a microphone, waded through the crowd to confront Artis and Scarlet.The reporter, with a cunning glint in his eye, addressed them;"Artis Hardy and Scarlet Silverman, the alleged fraud couple! What do you have to say about these damning accusations? Is it true that

    CHAPTER 133 REFUSE NOW

    Artis and Scarlet stood in the hospital lobby as the sound of blames and accusations grew louder, while no one was ready to hear out their side of the story.On the contrary, the crowd's relentless beratings and insults only seemed to magnify with each passing moment."You call yourselves decent people? You're nothing but opportunistic leeches!""I doubt that all that success of the Silverman family is also built on lies, wasn't it? They really think everyone is a fool!""This poor guy deserves better friends than you two!""Look at them, acting innocent now. Just own up to your shameful acts!""These people are nothing but social climbers! They pretend to be friends with someone until they have squeezed the last drop of profit from them, and then forget about the ones who supported them!"Scarlet's eyes were filled with tears now, because her attempts to explain were being drowned out by the overwhelming chorus of disapproval, again and again. On the other hand, although Artis was v

    CHAPTER 132 GROW AND EVOLVED

    Chad's apologetic monologue continued, his voice heavy with guilt and the regret evident in his tone;"Artis, man, I can totally understand why you didn't want to forgive me at the hotel. I mean, I have been a complete idiot and I didn't even realize it! I looked down on you because of your financial status, and I even had some really messed up thoughts about Scarlet regardless of the fact that you two are married."He gulped before continuing, "And once I found out that Mrs. Silverman wanted you to get divorced as soon as possible, my hopes literally skyrocketed, thinking that I was finally going to get my dream girl. And that's why, I was also saying all those things back at the hotel, to hopefully provoke you enough where you willingly signed the divorce papers. But I can see how stupid I was, and I admit, I was wrong on all counts."Artis, though maintaining a stoic facade, couldn't fully trust Chad's sudden change of heart. "It's always easy to spout flattering words, Chad. But

    CHAPTER 131 DESRESPECTED

    Scarlet, enduring the unexpected slap from her mother, felt a surge of humiliation and pain, which sent tears streaming down her face. Although her cheek was already wet due to tears; this time, her tears were not because of her rage– rather, they had appeared because of the deep emotional wounds inflicted by her mother.For a few minutes, she was unable to say anything, processing the shock of the slal. But on the other hand, Artis, witnessing Scarlet's vulnerability, could no longer stand by as a silent spectator. His protective instincts kicked into gear, and he finally broke his silence to confront Hena;"Are you in control of your senses or not?! How can you just slap her like this–""Shut up!" Hena glared at him, while seething in anger."She is my daughter, and I can do as I please! Dammit–""Excuse me! You have exploited her enough as it is. Now, she is my wife before she is your daughter, so behave appropriately, do you understand? You better control yourself in front of m
