Once they were gone, Alfred turned to the sales representative and commanded, "Pack that necklace and bring it here. Hurry up.""Yes, Sir. I’ll do it right away," the sales representative responded, not daring to hesitate as she rushed to follow his orders.Meanwhile, Alfred leaned closer to Alex and whispered apologetically, "Please accept the necklace as a gift. It’s on the house, and I sincerely apologize for my staff’s behavior. I hope you’ll take it, so I can have some peace of mind tonight."After a brief pause, Alex nodded."Alright."Alfred sighed in relief when Alex accepted the gift. This either meant that Alex wasn’t angry with him anymore or that he had been forgiven.Phew! Thank goodness!The sales representative returned, holding the wrapped necklace.To everyone's surprise, instead of handing the package to Alfred, she respectfully presented it to Alex with a deep bow."Sir, is this to your satisfaction?" she asked, keeping her head lowered.Alex nodded as he accepted th

“What’s in the gift?” Lyra asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she glanced at the neatly wrapped package.Sophia hesitated for a moment, then carefully untied the ribbon.“Oh wow! It’s an emerald necklace, from Elegance & Co!” she gasped, clearly surprised by the luxurious gift.Sophia’s excitement was quickly replaced by a hint of discomfort.“This looks really expensive,” she said quietly, unsure how to feel about it.The intricate design and fine detail made it clear—this wasn’t just any piece of jewelry.Chris had already gone to great lengths to arrange the banquet invitations, and now his father had sent such an extravagant gift.It felt a little overwhelming.But before Sophia could express her concerns, Chris smiled confidently, as if he had anticipated the entire situation."T

Alex turned to Sophia. "Why don’t you confirm with Chris if his father really sent the gifts?"Sophia, her brow furrowing in confusion."What are you talking about? Of course, it’s Chris helping me out."She couldn’t fathom the idea that anyone other than Chris would send such luxurious gifts."Didn’t you receive an emerald necklace from Elegance & Co and three invitation cards?" Alex questioned.Sophia felt a chill run through her.How could Alex possibly know what was inside her gift?He had just returned, and the gift was already sealed.The necklace, the three cards—had he somehow read her mind?Or, even more unsettling, had he been right all along?Was Chris’s father really not behind these lavish gifts?Before

The next morning, after a restful sleep, Alex's phone buzzed, and he picked it up without a second thought.It was Abraham, Sophia’s grandfather."Alex, I’ve heard about Sophia's behavior. That silly girl! How could she ask for a separation? I’m so sorry for how she treated you. I’ve given her a good talking to."But Alex wasn’t bothered in the slightest.If Sophia wanted a separation, he wasn’t going to stand in her way.After all, marriage is not something he could ever force, even from the beginning.He had fulfilled his duty by agreeing to the marriage, hoping that it might lead him to some clues about his mother."Where are you now? I’ll send a car to pick you up. I want Sophia to apologize to you in person.""No need for that, grandpa. I’ll come on my own." Alex qu

Sophia scoffed."Do you really think bargaining will make you worth millions?"“That price doesn’t even scratch the surface of my value,” Alex replied with a wink.“But seeing how eager you are, I decide not to make it too difficult for you. I’ll offer a 99.99999999999999999% discount, so it will be just one hundred thousand. How about it?”Alex chuckled inwardly.Sophia's jaw dropped.She couldn’t believe what she'd just heard.Holy crap!She had never encountered such shamelessness in her entire life.This was the unfortunate consequence of marrying a useless man—a man who would live off her wealth without contributing anything, and still think so high of himself.Her glare deepened, and so did her disdain.

As she stepped into the sitting room, every pair of eyes turned toward her.It was the absolute worst moment to be in the spotlight.She quickly tucked her bank card behind her back, hoping no one would notice.Grandpa Abraham’s face twisted with displeasure as he glared at Sophia.“Where have you been? Why didn’t you greet your husband like I told you?”Sophia’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she wished she could vanish.In a small voice, she mumbled, “I did, Grandpa.”“Yes, Grandpa, she did,” Alex chimed in, trying to back her up.Grandpa Abraham’s expression finally softened.The truth was, Sophia didn’t care about greeting Alex.All she wanted was to get rid of him.She was willing

He had his own affairs to handle, which the Lancasters could only dream of reaching his level.With just a snap of his fingers, he could make their wildest wishes a reality.If he so desired, the wealthiest families in the city could lose everything, their fortunes vanishing and businesses crumbling into bankruptcy.But what good would it do to explain this to a woman as arrogant and narrow-minded as Mrs. Lancaster?Still, Mrs. Lancaster snorted, her displeasure written clearly across her face.In her eyes, Alex was not only an incompetent son-in-law, but he also couldn't help Sophia in the slightest.And yet, he had the audacity to speak freely while depending entirely on their daughter.She wished Chris had made his proposal sooner; perhaps their daughter wouldn't have married this worthless man.‘No, she has

"I don’t care whether you want to help me or not. Just stay out of my way," Sophia snapped.Alex shook his head.Her understanding was as dull as a butter knife, and her parents were much worse.There was little hope she would realize the truth any time soon.Alex felt no obligation to reveal his true self to her, as their relationship had been doomed from the start.He was simply playing his role, finding his mother and sticking with her family."You're blind to the good people standing right in front of you," Alex said, shaking his head."The truth will come out eventually, and when it does, you'll regret your sayings."Sophia let out a bitter laugh, staring at him as if he had lost his mind.Maybe he had.That would explain his ridiculous confidence.

Jasmine strode forward, her heels clicking like gunshots across the polished marble floor, eyes blazing with barely restrained fury as she confronted Henry Dupont.“Careful, Henry,” she warned, her voice icy but edged with fire.“Accusations without proof could burn you alive.”Henry threw his head back and laughed bitterly, the sound cutting through the murmurs of anticipation like a razor blade.“Oh, isn't she priceless?” He swung around to face the crowd, his voice rising sharply, deliberately loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.“Do you all hear this nonsense? Last month, Kingston Pharmaceutical’s chief of medical research and his elite team lost all faith in Jasmine Kingston's sham leadership and abandoned ship. Who could blame them?”“Those brilliant minds took the SkinDew patent—legally theirs—and fled to Kane Pharmaceutical.”“They perfected SkinDew there, away from Jasmine's incompetence!” Henry sneered dramatically, relishing every scathing word.He jabbed an accusing f

“The Emerald Elixir is dangerous?” Murmurs erupted like wildfire, spreading panic and suspicion through the hall.At the heart of the disruption stood a police officer, rotund with arrogance and disdain plainly painted on his flushed, perspiring face.His voice boomed obnoxiously, a smug sneer twisting his lips, “When I declare something dangerous, you better believe it's deadly!”Jasmien’s eyes widened in shock, her heart plunging to her stomach.This was a disaster she hadn't anticipated.An incident like this at her meticulously arranged press conference spelled doom.Even if the product was later proven harmless, Kingston Pharmaceutical’s reputation still hung by a thread.The media would pounce first—and by the time the truth surfaced, the damage would already be irreversible. The stain on their name could outlast the facts, lingering like a shadow.The word “dangerous” echoed ominously, branding the Elixir with a toxic stigma—a curse that could doom its commercial future.From a

Charles stormed toward Jasmine's hall, only to halt abruptly, his jaw dropping in disbelief.The hall was already swarming, packed so tightly it seemed to ripple with anticipation.People jostled for seats, their excitement palpable, like sharks sensing blood.Staff scrambled to form a protective barricade around Dr. Joane, who stood serenely conversing with Alex, entirely indifferent to the seething crowd pressing closer.Jasmine watched gleefully, a predatory smile tugging at her lips.Clearly, using Dr. Joane as bait had worked far better than she'd dared hope.Standing tall, Jasmine seized a microphone, her voice ringing like polished steel through the restless chatter."Thank you all for your overwhelming enthusiasm. Unfortunately, due to the sheer number gathered here today, only our top ten customers will have the exclusive honor of consulting directly with Dr. Joane."She gestured grandly to the eager faces, eyes gleaming with triumph."For now, please find your seats. Our pre

At that precise moment, the grandeur of Dupont’s event erupted into full bloom.The massive double doors swung open, and a wave of guests surged inside, voices rising with excitement as they scrambled to claim their seats.The atmosphere crackled with electric anticipation.Henry Dupont scanned the rapidly growing crowd, a smug, triumphant smile stretching across his face.They had finally outsmarted Kingston, beating them to the punch.Even Kingston's desperate, last-minute attempt at hosting their conference across the way was doomed from the start.Without guests, it was little more than a pathetic joke.Henry chuckled darkly, his heart swelling with arrogant satisfaction.The lord of Chicago had decisively won this round.Everything was unfolding flawlessly.By day's end, SkinDew Essence would dominate headlines and conversations, spreading like wildfire.Whatever scraps Kingston might later produce would simply languish in the shadow of his glorious success.His ambitious vision—

Only after Jasmine had disappeared into the crowd did Charles finally register her words, fury igniting inside him like a wildfire.“Absolute nonsense!” he snarled, his face twisting in contempt."SkinDew Essence is practically gold dust right now! People are begging on their knees, throwing money at us just to get a single drop. Your pathetic jealousy is showing, Jasmine!"His voice was dripping venom, disdain echoing in every syllable.But Jasmine had already dismissed him entirely.She gracefully looped her arm through Alex’s, her face serene with confidence, as they vanished into the empty hall.“Hmph! She really has no grasp of reality!” Charles spat bitterly, eyes narrowing viciously as he watched them vanish."Pathetic—just scrambling desperately to make trouble as a final act of desperation! Soon enough, the Duponts will crush her underfoot. And when the lawsuits pour in over her half-baked product, she’ll beg for mercy!"Meanwhile, the Texas Interstate Convention Hall steadil

Now that SkinDew Essence had slipped through Kingston Pharmaceuticals’ fingers, the family simmered with resentment.But Charles saw more than loss; he glimpsed an opportunity—one that, if seized boldly enough, could catapult him straight past Jasmine, cementing his authority once and for all.“Charles,” Jessica said carefully, watching her son's eyes glint with ambition, “Jasmine’s already got a new product ready to launch. Don’t you think betting everything we have might be reckless?”“Mother,” Charles scoffed bitterly, rolling his eyes, “Jasmine’s just bluffing. Whatever she's cooked up can only be some pathetic imitation scraped together from our leftover research data.”“Sure, Alex might have a knack for patching up bodies, but this is pharmaceutical science, not some street-level stitching.”“Without real professors backing them, they’re just throwing darts blindfolded. Besides, SkinDew’s patent is firmly in Jericho’s grasp now—and he's already sold it off to that Chicago lord.”

“Dr. Joane,” Jasmine purred with a coy smirk, leaning forward with predatory grace.“This information is our company's deepest secret. But, if you're willing to join us formally, I'll gladly reveal the mastermind behind Emerald Elixir—provided he's willing to show his hand.”“You certainly know how to play your cards, don’t you?” Joane retorted bitterly, recognizing Jasmine’s carefully laid trap.“Alright, hand me the damn contract. I'll sign.”Jasmine’s secretary swiftly produced the document, and Joane scrawled her signature, sealing her fate.Meanwhile, Jasmine cast a mischievous glance toward Alex, eyes glinting with cunning amusement. “Can I reveal the genius behind our elixir now?”Alex scowled faintly, irritated by Jasmine’s blatant manipulation.Clearly, she viewed him as nothing more than bait to ensnare Dr. Joane.“Fine,” Alex sighed resignedly. “Given my stake in this venture, I suppose I can't refuse.”“Thanks, Alex. I keep owing you more and more,” Jasmine teased, winking

An hour earlier, Sophia had stepped quietly out of the hospital doors, a ghostly shadow haunted by restless thoughts.For days, she'd kept her family at arm's length, erecting an invisible barrier around her wounded heart.Her soul felt raw, tormented by relentless doubts about Alex.Perhaps she had always been unfair, perhaps she should have trusted him sooner.After all, their marriage was already torn to shreds; yet, somewhere deep inside, she knew Alex deserved an apology far greater than her pride allowed.Paying a discreet detective employed by her family, Sophia easily uncovered the small clinic Alex ran near the slums.Guided by the instructions of her GPS, she drove slowly through the grimy streets, her eyes hollow with anticipation and dread.As she approached, the sight of bodyguards patrolling the perimeter, stern-faced and vigilant, set her pulse racing.Her heart twisted painfully upon glimpsing Jasmine standing intimately close to Alex, radiating confidence and allure.

Alex watched with icy indifference as Owen’s bodyguards surged forward and snatched the ornate box from his hand. He let them have it—this once.“You ignorant little quack,” Owen spat venomously, his sneer sharp enough to slice through steel."Heaven Root isn't just some miracle herb—it’s the ultimate treasure for warriors like us. You, a pathetic excuse for a doctor, couldn’t appreciate its worth even if it bit you in the ass!"Smugly, Owen slapped the box with contemptuous triumph.“Uncle Jericho’s already handed this over to me. It’s mine now, doctor boy.”Instead of exploding into fury, Alex’s lips twisted into a chilling, knife-edged smile directed straight at Jericho Kane.“Fool me once—shame on you. Twice—shame on me. But thrice? Then I'm the goddamn fool.”He strode past Jericho, leaning in close enough to whisper venomous words straight into his trembling ear.“If that Heaven Root isn't in my hand before I leave this cursed mansion, don't blame me when your bloodline ends thr
