After the night of the antique event, Gabriel had acquired fame which didn't sit well with the most influential people in the city. They were jealous of him and various forces started investigating with deep curiosity to know who he really was.But they couldn't discover his true identity. They were only able to know that he owned MegaGlobe company, the company that Gabriel had bought from Fredrick's family.Vincent Morgan, knowing that Gabriel does not have any connections with Greenovation Gardens as he had thought, was greatly pleased and complacent. He has abhorred a heightened dislike for Gabriel since he turned down his offer and refused to sell him the city's channel of raw stones.In his lavish office, Vincent Morgan leaned back in his leather chair, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips. Across from him stood his chief subordinate, Marcus, awaiting orders. The room, dimly lit, exuded an air of calculated menace."Marcus," Vincent began, his voice dripping with malice, "we hav
Also, the head of Brock's family, Jackson Marlow sat behind his ornate desk, the opulence of his office reflecting his family's power.Brock paced in front of him, his face twisted in anger. "Father, Gabriel humiliated me. He needs to be taught a lesson."Jackson leaned back, steepling his fingers. "I’ve heard enough, Brock. You were reckless, and now it’s time to clean up the mess. But rest assured, Gabriel will regret crossing our family."Brock’s eyes gleamed with vindictive satisfaction. "What are you going to do?"Jackson smirked. "I will target his company, MegaGlobe. Hit him where it hurts the most. He will crumble under the pressure and realize he’s not untouchable."Turning to his right-hand man, Gerald, who stood silently by the door, Jackson's tone grew menacing. "Gerald, I want you to mobilize our resources. Find every vulnerability in MegaGlobe and exploit it. Disrupt their operations, and create chaos. Make sure Gabriel feels the full weight of our wrath."Gerald nodded,
In the dimly lit clubhouse, Gabriel leaned back in his chair, sliding two rough stone contracts across the table to Louis. The hum of conversations and clinking glasses filled the background, but their focus was singular."Here," Gabriel said, handing Louis an envelope containing a $2 billion check. "Use this to establish a jewelry trading company once the matter with Brock’s family is resolved."Louis’s eyes widened as he glanced at the documents and the substantial check. "Gabriel, are you not planning to tame the Marlow family? You seem so calm about all of this."Gabriel offered a modest smile, his demeanor unflappable. "Let’s just say, I have my ways. But it’s not something I want to discuss in detail."Louis studied Gabriel’s face, sensing there was more beneath the surface. "I know you’re working on something big. You always have a plan."Gabriel nodded, changing the subject slightly. "How did your wife’s funeral go?"Louis sighed, his expression softening. "It was fine, thanks
The Marlow family soon found themselves ensnared in a web of troubles and scandals. It was a relentless barrage of bad news, each report more distressing and frustrating than the last. Jackson Marlow sat at his desk, his head in his hands, as one of his subordinates entered the room, his face pale with fear.“Sir, the authorities have just frozen our overseas accounts. They’re investigating money laundering allegations,” the subordinate stammered.Jackson’s fist slammed onto the desk, his face contorted with rage. “How is this happening? How can everything be falling apart so quickly?”Brock burst into the room, his expression mirroring his father’s frustration. “Dad, the media is all over us. They’re saying we’re involved in illegal arms trading now! This is insane!”Jackson took a deep breath, trying to calm his mounting anger. “We need to find out who’s behind this. Someone is orchestrating this chaos.”Another subordinate entered, hesitating before speaking. “Sir, the labor depart
Gabriel stepped through the front door, instantly noticing the unusual stillness of the house. He guessed that Jessie must have gone to bed early. A faint, pleasant scent wafted through the air as he made his way to the bedroom. Opening the door, he was greeted by a romantic setting—candles casting a soft glow, rose petals scattered on the bed, and a bottle of wine chilling nearby.He was still taking in the scene when Camella emerged from behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist. “Welcome home, Gabriel,” she whispered seductively, gently slipping his jacket off his shoulders.“Camella,” Gabriel said, turning to face her, a look of pleasant surprise on his face. “You’ve never done anything like this before.”She smiled, her eyes sparkling in the candlelight. “I wanted to do something special for you. You’ve been working so hard and doing so much for us. Tonight, I want to make it up to you.”Gabriel’s heart swelled with gratitude and love. “You didn’t have to do all this. Just
However, Cole’s mother, Mrs. Lawson, who has been quiet all this while, upon learning that Gabriel had no proper job, boasted about her son being accepted into Greenovation Gardens with a salary exceeding $10,000.She spoke, her voice tinged with an air of superiority. "Well, Gabriel, it's commendable that you've been supporting your family, but Cole here has just been accepted into Greenovation Gardens with a starting salary of over $10,000."Mr. Lawson interjected quickly, sensing the tension in the room. "Dear, that's enough. Gabriel's achievements are different, and he has his own successes."Gabriel remained composed, though he felt a pang of discomfort at the comparison. "Thank you, Mrs. Lawson. I'm proud of Cole's accomplishments. Greenovation Gardens is a prestigious company."Cole shifted uncomfortably, sensing his mother's attempt to showcase his achievements at Gabriel's expense. "I'm sorry, Gabriel. My mom gets carried away sometimes."Gabriel smiled warmly at Cole, trying
Despite Aliyah's little interference, Mrs. Lawson didn't stop talking highly of her son and in no time, her husband and Cole joined her in showing off their achievement, including Cole's educational success. Seeing them keep showing off, Aliyah exchanged a glance with her father, Mikelson, both slightly taken aback by the unabashed display of pride from Mrs. Lawson and Cole. Despite the tension brewing, Mikelson maintained his composure, but Aliyah couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration.Aliyah spoke up, her voice tinged with subtle sarcasm. "Wow, Cole, it sounds like you've got everything figured out. It must be nice."Cole grinned, oblivious to the underlying tension. "Yeah, it's been pretty good. Greenovation Gardens has been amazing for me."Mikelson cleared his throat, trying to steer the conversation into more neutral territory. "That's great to hear, Cole. Your educational success story is incredible. "Mrs. Lawson jumped in eagerly, continuing to sing Cole's praises. "
Mrs. Lawson, feeling Gabriel was just playing and judging by Aliyah's expression, they thought she didn't know what she was saying. So Cole tried to assert that they possibly are not looking to buy such an expensive razor because they don't know about it.Aliyah was about to talk but Gabriel stopped her gently.Mrs. Lawson glanced at Gabriel with a hint of skepticism, clearly not expecting such a knowledgeable response about luxury razors."Imperium razors are quite exquisite," Gabriel explained calmly, his voice carrying a hint of authority. "They're known for their craftsmanship and precision engineering. The brand prides itself on using the finest materials and achieving unparalleled shaving experiences."Cole, attempting to recover from the unexpected turn of conversation, chimed in with a forced chuckle. "Wow, Gabriel, you sure know your razors."Mrs. Lawson nodded slowly, trying to hide her surprise. "Yes, indeed. It's impressive to see someone so well-versed in... grooming."Al
