Jessie exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she wrapped her arms around him tightly.Gabriel chuckled, ruffling her hair affectionately. "Hey there, princess. Did you miss me?""Of course, Daddy!" Jessie replied, pulling back to look up at him with a grin. "Though Mommy said you were coming to the banquet too. Why didn't you come with us back then?"Gabriel glanced at Camella, his expression briefly clouding with concern before he replied, "Oh, you know, just some last-minute work stuff I had to take care of. I had to deal with some bad guys. But I'm here now, aren't I?"Jessie nodded enthusiastical

Aliyah's frustration simmered as Gabriel persisted in his accusation against Fredrick. "Gabriel, you're making baseless accusations," she retorted, her voice tinged with annoyance. "Fredrick wouldn't stoop so low as to take credit for something he didn't do." Undeterred, Gabriel maintained his stance. "Aliyah, it's time to see the truth," he countered, his tone unwavering. "Fredrick, make the call and put it on loudspeaker." Nora, torn between supporting her son-in-law and reprimanding him, hesitated for a moment before Fredrick agreed to Gabriel's request. The guilt weighed heavily on him, knowing there was no other way out of the situation. With trembling hands, Fredrick dialed his father's number. As the call connected, he took a deep breath, silently thanking Gabriel for putting him on the spot. "Hey, Dad," Fredrick began, his voice strained with guilt.

That's wonderful news," he said, mustering up a smile for his daughter.Nora, ever eager to sing Fredrick's praises, chimed in, "And we must thank Fredrick for his support. He's been quite helpful to our family lately."Mickelson nodded in agreement, though his expression remained guarded. "Indeed, Fredrick. Thank yo

Gabriel's voice was firm as he defended the authenticity of the antique. "It's not fake, mother-in-law. Please don't jump to conclusions without proper evidence," he urged, his tone tinged with frustration.Aliyah chimed in, echoing her mother's sentiments. "I agree with Mother. Just by looking at it, anyone can tell it's a fake," she remarked, her skepticism evident in her voice.Gabriel bristled at the implication and shot back, "You can't judge a book by its cover, Aliyah. This antique has a history, a story behind it."However, Nora, unmoved by Gabriel's defense, rose from her seat and marched back to the living room, determined to show the antique to the other guests. With a sense of superiority, she ridiculed Gabriel in front of the gathered crowd, casting doubt on his taste and judgment. “Look at this awful thing my good-for-nothing son-in-law has dared to present as a gift to my husband. Isn't this worthless?” She scoffed as murmurings filled the room. Gabriel, feeling the w

Camella's frustration boiled over as she faced off against her mother, her voice filled with righteous indignation. "You've gone too far, Mother!" she exclaimed, her words ringing out with authority. "That was a genuine antique, and you've destroyed it without a second thought!"Nora's expression remained impassive, her gaze unwavering as she shrugged off Camella's accusations. "I don't care," she replied dismissively, her tone dripping with disdain. "Your husband is a disgrace, and I won't tolerate his presence in my house any longer."Camella's jaw clenched as she fought to contain her anger, her eyes blazing with fury. "He may be my husband and whatever you think of him, but he doesn't deserve this kind of treatment," she shot back, her voice trembling with emotion.Just then, an antique expert at the party, intrigued by the commotion, stepped forward to examine the broken pieces scattered on the floor. With a practiced eye, he assessed the fragments and confirmed what Gabriel had

The room fell into a tense silence as Nora struggled to come to terms with the reality of her actions. "I can't believe I... I threw away something so valuable," she muttered, her voice tinged with disbelief.Mickelson placed a comforting hand on Nora's shoulder, his expression a mixture of frustration and understanding. "Nora, you need to accept responsibility for your actions," he admonished gently. "You can't keep denying the truth."Nora bristled at her husband's words, her pride wounded by his reprimand. "But I didn't know," she protested weakly, her voice trembling with uncertainty.The antique expert, sensing Nora's distress, stepped forward with a reassuring smile.

"I apologize for my wife's hostility," he said sincerely. "Thank you for your patience and
