Franco took his eyes down to Adam's hand which was clenched tightly to his fists. Seeing him, Franco was reminded of what happened eight years ago.

From his expression, one could tell that Franco wasn't ready to discuss what happened eight years ago.

He pushed Adam's hand away from hand. “I don't think I want to discuss it. I don't have anything to do with you. Excuse me…”

He wanted to leave once more but Adam gripped his hand once more but this time around, he clenched onto Franco's hand tighter.

“You are not in the mood to discuss what happened doesn't mean that I am not in the mood. After eight years, we finally met and you think I don't need an explanation”

He tightened his grip at Franco, his voice dripping with venom. “What happened eight years ago is such that the kindest person in the world can't forget. I have the right to know why you deceived me and betrayed me in the end!”

“I didn't betray you nor did I deceive you” Franco rushed into Adam's utterance immediately. “If the

    Franco staggered a step back, his eyes locked onto Muna’s. At that moment, he felt shattered—like the floor beneath him had vanished. The wine in his system now churned into a nightmare.“Divorce papers?” he repeated, trying to make sense of what he had just heard. It was the last thing he expected, especially in such a short, crushing moment.“You can’t do this to me, Muna!” he exclaimed, reaching out to touch her, but she recoiled, pulling her hand far from his reach.“We can still talk about this, Muna,” he added, his voice edged with desperation. “This doesn’t have to end in divorce, right?”“I’m sure you understand the full meaning of privacy, Franco,” Muna replied coldly, her face twisting in disgust. “I could sue you just for trying to touch me.”“We agreed on a three-month contract,” she went on. “All the payment will be made to you.

    Gasps rippled through the hall like a wave crashing against the walls. No one had anticipated such a reaction from Muna—not even Caleb, whose lips curled into a twisted, satisfied grin."Good job, Muna," he muttered under his breath, licking his lips with a sarcastic flair.Franco, however, was utterly blindsided.

He refused to watch the future he envisioned crumble before his eyes.Pulling himself together, he took a bold step toward her. “I know you’re angry, Muna. I understand why. But please, just hear me out. Give me a chance to explain.”“There’s nothing left to explain, Franco!” Muna snapped, her voice slicing through the air. “You’ve shown everyone exactly where you came from!

    As Franco glared at the projector before him, his brows shot up as he took a step back in astonishment.He couldn't believe it. The whole guests were already squeezing their faces, some pointing fingers at him while the murmur and side talks increased.Franco on the other hand still had his head rotating, trying to remember what happened and how they took that video because as he was there, he doesn't remember a DIME about that footage.So, if he doesn't remember doing that, it means someone manipulated all that!Franco turned his look at Caleb who was already smiling, he then looked forward and saw Adam. He was smiling as well and that smile doesn't look like an ordinary one.While the whole guests were left bewildered and disappointed, only he and Caleb seemed very happy. This told Franco that something was wrong.Well, Adam wasn't done yet. He wanted to take the issue to another level, so he changed his expression as if he didn't know what was going on.He turned to the guests, pul

The entire banquet hall had been decorated beautifully, tailored perfectly to Adam Khan’s taste. He had made sure to invite Franco personally to this grand occasion—so the man who once watched him fall could now watch him rise again, even after being framed. But when Adam looked around and didn't see Franco, he was astounded. The entire Scott family was present, but Franco was nowhere in sight. Adam was about to be called to the stage to receive his honorary welcome, and he couldn’t shake the feeling of irritation—Franco had to see him walk that stage. As Muna and Granny mingled with other guests, Adam and Elena approached them.
