"Have you drunk so much, that you have forgotten your real identity?"

Tony scoffed at Artis' words, assuming his claims to be mindless chatter.

He then spoke with a tone of disapproval, and his irritation was evident.

"Listen, this is a classy place, not some rowdy pub where you can create chaos for no reason."

Before Artis could say anything, Claire got up and responded,

"I apologize if we are disturbing the atmosphere, but you should not speak to anyone like that. After all, we are your guests and we are just celebrating a significant achievement at our job."

But Tony just looked at her with a judgemental smirk;

"Celebrating, you say? It sounds more like a bunch of uncivilized and mannerless folks making a scene. And may I know, what is the achievement? Did you guys find a few pennies in your pockets?"

Artis replied calmly;

"We are celebrating the success of our company, as it is important to remind people from time to time that their hard work pays off."

Tony then said with a smug

    Tony was desperate to prove himself right in front of everyone, especially the restaurant staff, and he screamed at Artis;"Let me bring out the truth in front of everyone here! The truth is that you have just brought these hooligans here for a free meal, because you can't even afford to pay the bill for them. And that's why you are creating such a big deal, pretending to be offended and storming off, so that you won't have to pay." "Is that so?" Artis just raised an eyebrow."Of course, I know people like you very well. You have a full plan to scam-""Then I will show you exactly what I can afford."But Tony again assumed that he was trying to show off, and laughed;"No thanks, I'm not interested in that. In fact, I would like you to settle the bill first and then continue to bicker with me. I doubt you or your beggar friends have ever had a meal at the City Grill, but let me tell you, the rate is not cheap at all!"The remark intended to belittle both Artis and his team, and it di

    While Artis was waiting for Tim's confirmation of the successful acquisition, Tony was already suspicious about every word that Artis had said, and on top of that, all the gossip and speculations had agitated him even more.He approached him with a mocking smile and said, sarcastically,"Artis, are you out of your mind? Buying the entire restaurant group? Are you trying to fool us with more of your grand delusions?"Artis said with a confident smile,"Unlike you, Tony! I don't make any claims I can't prove. So just wait for the confirmation before saying anything."At this moment, no matter what Artis said, it was completely impossible for Tony to imagine a single percent of truth in his words.He just thought that Artis was making some bold claims to make him shut up, and so he said even more loudly;"Oh my God! I thought that I should send you to the police, but now I am thinking that I should take you to a mental institution directly. Because you don't just expect everyone to beli

    Howard was completely baffled to get this news about the share transfer all of a sudden, and Tim replied calmly to his question;"Mr. Hardy has become the majority shareholder through a share exchange. He has requested a meeting with you at the City Grill, and I believe it's crucial for you to address the situation promptly."Howard was quite dedicated to his business empire, and knew that he could not take this situation lightly at all.He replied in a determined tone,"I am heading over to City Grill immediately. Ask him to wait there, and I'll talk to him about it in person."Tim happily reassured him,"I will make sure to convey your message to him, Mr. Wells. Goodbye."With this, Tim hung up and Howard didn't hesitate before swiftly rising from his chair and changing out of his robe. He got out of his room within exactly ten minutes, dressed crisply in a suit and shoes. As Howard left the Golden Palms Hotel in his car, his mind was racing with thoughts about the implications of

    Howard Wells was listening with disinterest as Tony was rambling about the bet and his argument with the customer. But this is when two words caught his attention, specifically 'Artis Hardy'. He suddenly remembered the phone call with Tim, where he had mentioned that his boss and the owner of Texter Technologies had purchased the majority shares of Smith Group.A suspicion appeared in his mind: was Artis Hardy, the man he was supposed to meet, the same person whom Tony was cursing?He asked directly,"Wait a minute, Artis Hardy? Is that the name of that man over there?"Tony, confirmed although hesitating a little. "Uh, yes sir. That's Artis Hardy, but he's just an unmannered man causing trouble to get attention, nothing serious at all."Although Tony had given the answer to his question, he was concerned about one thing– he had just referred to Artis by his last name, so how did Howard know about his full name?Could there be a possibility that Artis had actually called him directl

    Howard asked cautiously,"Mr. Hardy, this is quite an unprecedented situation. If there happens to be any mistake or oversight, it could have serious consequences. I am sure you can understand the situation-"Artis interrupted him in the middle and said firmly, "I can understand, but remember, I won't let you or anyone else disrespect me or question my authority. My staff has ensured that the transition of ownership is done smoothly, so if you are still having some difficulty in confirming it, then it must be a problem with your staff."Howard was speechless, while Tony was completely unable to contain his frustration, and yelled,"Oh for God's sake! There is no way you could just walk in here and buy the majority share. My family has been part of this business for generations, and I know how these things work! Never in the history of the Smith Group has something like this ever happened."Artis paid no attention to Tony's tantrums and just said to Howard sarcastically, "Just becaus

    Mr. Deem tried to calm Artis down and satisfy him with his promises, "I assure you, Mr. Hardy, I'll have a serious conversation with Tony about his behavior. And please don't assume that you will have to face the same treatment ever again, just because he has misbehaved with you. I want to separate his actions from mine, and he is already on thin ice.Our family really doesn't endorse such behavior, and I am embarrassed that you had to go through this. In fact, I am really close to disowning him permanently."Artis was finally a little satisfied, and replied,"That would be good, Mr. Deem. I also placed some conditions in front of Mr. Howard Wells, but please remember that I won't tolerate any disruptions caused by personal issues."Artis then cleverly shifted the conversation toward a surprising business proposition.Artis: "Mr. Deem, I appreciate your understanding regarding the recent events. However, I'd like to discuss a business matter that might interest you."Mr. Deem was sti

    As Artis prepared to end the call, Tony started yelling at him again to get his attention. The only difference was that previously, his tone was that of disbelief and now, he was becoming more desperate;"What do you mean by this! My dad has already told you his final decision, he won't be selling the shares. What more does he need to think about? You are acting like a madman, Hardy!"Although Tony was saying that he didn't believe in anything Artis was claiming, his mind was thinking in a completely opposite direction.Right now, he was freaking out from inside, thinking about what they would do if Artis actually snatched away their shares– or worse, bankrupted their other two companies.He continued to blabber as panic was rising in his mind;"I don't believe it, you can't just destroy everything in our name like this. Why are you threatening my dad, he has done nothing to you. What is the point of your stubbornness-"But Artis coldly cut him off;"The point is to teach you that act

    The night air crackled with tension as Charlie Deem hurriedly arrived at City Grill, eager to handle the escalating situation with this mysterious person named Artis Hardy. On his way out of the parking lot, he also called Adam Gordon, hoping that he would help him over the phone, if he wasn't able to come there in person."Adam, I've arrived at City Grill. Hardy is here, and I need your advice on how to proceed.""Yes yes, I am right here, just go ahead and ask him what his deal is and why he's causing so much trouble."Charlie hurriedly scanned the crowd, and his gaze finally landed on Artis. He approached him politely, "Mr. Hardy, I hope we can work something out. I have come here in person to perhaps persuade you, and I also have my financial advisor on the phone.""It's nice to see you, Mr. Deem, but as I said, I am not open to negotiation. And frankly, I am getting a bit tired of waiting around, so-"Hearing this, Adam Gordon said on the phone,"Put me on speaker, Charlie. I w

    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

    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

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

    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

    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
