Leo reluctantly agreed to terminate their contract, his voice barely audible as he spoke the words. However, he was determined to fight for compensation for the sudden end of their partnership."I demand 50% of your investment as a penalty for termination," Leo asserted firmly, despite the uncertainty in his heart.Mr. San Fuente's expression softened at Leo's request, a hint of sympathy flickering in his eyes."Very well," he conceded with resignation. "I agree to your terms."Mr. San Fuente shrugged, his gaze fixed on the table between them. "It's just business,Mr. Carter. Do you understand?"Leo felt anger surge within him, but he managed to maintain his composure."Certainly," he replied, his voice unwavering."However, I can't help but feel that there's more to this decision than just business."Mr. San Fuente stood up, his expression unreadable."I apologize, Mr. Carter. I wish you the best in your future endeavors." With that, he turned and left the restaurant, leaving Leo deep
Leo's fury ignited at the mention the name of Evan. He couldn't fathom how Mr. Sanchez could compare him to that bastard. Leo's hands tightened into fists as he struggled to control his anger."How dare you compare me with that despicable man!" Leo bellowed, his voice reverberating throughout the room."I have always treated Andrea with generosity and provided her with everything I have, something that Evan never did!"Mr. Sanchez's eyes narrowed, and he advanced a step, his face flushed with rage. "You think you're superior to him? You're just as reprehensible, if not worse!"Andrea intervened, placing herself between the two men, her hands extended in a pleading gesture."Please, both of you, stop this! I don't want to witness you fighting like this."Leo's anger gradually subsided as he gazed at Andrea, his eyes filled with concern."I apologize, Andrea. I didn't intend to create a scene. But I can't tolerate your father insulting me in such a manner."Mr. Sanchez crossed his arms
Mr. Sanchez was taken aback by Evan's unexpected generosity. He expressed his gratitude profusely, still trying to process the situation.Mr. Sanchez was in disbelief at what he was hearing. Evan, the man he had once looked down upon as poor and jobless, was now offering him a fortune to make up for his loss."Seriously? Is this for real?" Mr. Sanchez questioned.Evan smiled and urged him to go and reclaim what he had lost. Grateful but still unsure, Mr. Sanchez thanked Evan.Despite his efforts, Mr. Sanchez ended up losing the bet. The realization that he had been outsmarted by both Mr. Fimentel and Evan left him feeling frustrated and defeated. He knew he could never repay Evan the 10 million dollars he had promised."Frustrating! What on earth!" he exclaimed.As Mr. Sanchez pondered his defeat, Evan approached him once more with a surprising revelation."Mr. Sanchez," Evan's voice was calm and reassuring, "I don't expect you to repay the 10 million dollars.'Mr. Sanchez, filled wit
Meanwhile, in the dimly lit confines of a secluded lounge, Evan reveled in a sense of triumph as he engaged in a hushed conversation with Elias. The successful execution of their elaborate plan had filled Evan with an indescribable feeling of satisfaction."The old fool never had a chance," Evan stated with a wicked grin."He fell right into our trap, completely fooled by our deception.""Indeed, Boss," Elias responded respectfully."His greed clouded his judgment, making him an easy target for our cunning strategy."Evan's eyes gleamed with amusement as he reminisced about the intricate details of their scheme."It was a masterpiece of deception," Evan exclaimed, his voice filled with pride."We played Mr. Sanchez like a puppet, leaving him completely clueless."Elias nodded in agreement. "Your plan was flawless, Boss. Mr. Sanchez will never suspect that his own greed has led to his downfall. He also believed that you were helping him without realizing his money was in your possessio
Evan, standing tall and determined, watched with a cold detachment as the police officers approached to apprehend Mr. San Fuente. A sense of satisfaction washed over him, a validation for the injustices he had endured under his previous boss."You deserve this, you heartless monster," Evan hissed, his words dripping with venom."You ruined my life, and now it's time for you to face your sufferings!"Mr. San Fuente's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. He had never expected that his actions would lead to such severe repercussions. Evan, whom he had once dismissed as insignificant, had now become his archenemy, orchestrating his downfall with ruthless precision."Evan, I never meant for things to unfold like this," Mr. San Fuente pleaded, desperation evident in his voice. "I made a mistake. I should never have fired you."Evan's laughter cut through the air like a blade, a cruel reminder of the power he now held over his former tormentor."But you did more than just fire me, Mr. San Fu
Leo's eyes blazed with anger. "It's all over," he declared. "The resorts have cut ties with us. Everything I've built is destroyed."Andrea's heart dropped. She had seen firsthand the effort Leo had put into his vineyards, the things he had given up. The news was crushing."Oh, Leo," she murmured, her voice shaking."I can't comprehend,"Leo went on, his voice getting louder. "Our wines are unrivaled in the area. How could they do this to us?"Andrea tried to soothe him, embracing his waist. "I know it's tough to accept," she said, "but there must be a cause. Let's work this out together."Leo shook his head vigorously. "There's no explanation. It's a plot against us. They're out to ruin me.""Leo, please,"Andrea begged, "don't let your rage take over. We have to stay level-headed."But Leo was too engulfed in his feelings to hear her. He pushed Andrea away and stormed inside, leaving her alone in the driveway, a mix of sadness and concern washing over her.As Leo paced back and forth
Evan lounged on the veranda of his mansion, savoring a glass of wine as the sky transformed into a canvas of orange and pink hues during sunset. The tranquility was shattered by a call from Elias."What's up, Elias?" Evan asked eagerly."Leo is putting his 50 million car up for sale," Elias announced with excitement."Mr. Javier wants us to make a generous offer and set up a meeting with Leo."Evan's grip on the wine glass tightened, his eyes narrowing. "Leo? The same Leo Carter?""Yes, Boss. Your ex-wife's husband," Elias confirmed."Offer him a significant amount, but ensure he doesn't know it's me who's purchasing the car."Evan's mind raced with thoughts of vengeance. He had always wanted to prove to Leo how successful he had become. This was the perfect opportunity."Set up the meeting promptly, Elias," Evan ordered, a wicked grin spreading across his face."I can't wait to see the shock on Leo's face when he discovers the identity of the buyer."Meanwhile Leo and Andrea arrived
With that, Evan swiftly turned on his heels and departed, leaving Leo engulfed in a mix of exasperation and embarrassment.As Evan settled into the driver's seat of Leo's vehicle, a sense of contentment washed over him. He had successfully accomplished his objective, effortlessly obtaining the coveted possession.Leo remained in the driveway, his gaze fixed on Evan's disappearing car. A surge of anger coursed through him, not only directed at Evan but also at himself for falling prey to the man's manipulative tactics. He clenched his fists, silently vowing to reclaim what rightfully belonged to him.Leo and Andrea returned home, the weight of the day's events heavy on Leo's mind. The disbelief of Evan buying his car for 50 million dollars lingered as they entered the house. Leo's frustration boiled over as he turned to Andrea."Andrea, can you believe it?" Leo exclaimed, his voice filled with incredulity."Evan, of all people, managed to buy my car for 50 million dollars. How is that
