"Sophia, wait," Victoria called out as she ran to Sophia, grabbing her hand. "Please don’t sign it that. They are your family."With red, tear-filled eyes, Sophia looked back at Victoria. "Vic, you are my best friend, and I have to tell you one thing. Jerry is clearly not the one you're searching for. He is just a Deneuve, not part of the Royal family. You have been mistaken."For a moment, Victoria looked confused. She reassured herself again, "Jerry is part of the royal family in incognito. Even though there are many unclear details about his identity, after a year of marriage, everything will be clear.""Sophia, I believe in my instincts. Jerry is the man I've been searching for.""You will regret it later, Victoria," Sophia replied weakly, turning back to sign the document."You are the one who will regret it if you sign that paper." Victoria replied."Sophia! We are the family that fed you, took care of you since you were small. How can you sign to cut off from the family when yo
One day before.Lucas Gotti and his twenty men arrived at Blackwood Airport. They made their way to the Gotti building, where several people were cleaning up the place.The police had just released the building that day, so there was still a lot of work to be done.“Have you found them?” Lucas asked his people.“The Deneuve family is having a family event tomorrow at the Blackwood Court. All of the Deneuve family will be there,” one of his men replied.“Then prepare everything. We will get them tomorrow,” Lucas ordered.***Back to now.After the court session, Andrew was driving the car happily. A wide smile stretched across his face as he thought about the Deneuve family marrying into the Cavendish family, the second wealthiest family in the capital.“Jerry is going to hug a big tree, and it will bring our family to the next level,” he mused to himself.“Jerry,” he called to his son. “About your marriage with Victoria, have you set the date? The sooner, the better. How about next we
Victoria glared angrily at Lucas. "You edited the video, right? There is no way Jerry will poison me.""No," Lucas replied. "I have no reason to edit it. He really put the poison in your drink. Why don't you just believe it?""Because... Because," Victoria's face turned pale, and many ideas started running through her mind as she weakly said, "Because he is from the royal family." She said it without knowing if it was true anymore.She didn't believe it anymore.Lucas laughed hard. "Very funny. How did you come to that conclusion?"He took out a handgun and pointed it at Jerry's head. "Are you from the royal family?"Jerry quickly shook his head. "Pretending to be from the royal family can be punished by death. I wouldn't dare to say I'm from the royal family. I am from Deneuve.""Are you sure?" Lucas asked again, trying to catch him in a mistake."My father is here, just ask him. If he is from the royal family, then I am." Jerry faced his father. "Father, are you from the royal famil
In the penthouse, Victoria's eyes turned cold as she looked at Jerry. Jerry's face had already turned pale, unable to meet her gaze.“Victoria Cavendish,” Lucas called out to her. “I assume you know his royal highness, right?”Victoria wasn't entirely sure who he was, but thinking back, only Alex knew her position, and Sophia had mentioned that Alex had a bullet wound on his back.It made her wonder how Alex had a diamond card and could give Sophia a golden card, which was restricted to the royal family.It was impossible to think of anyone else, especially since Sophia got the Eden Group project exclusively.“Yes,” Victoria replied.“Great,” Lucas probed. “If I punish this man named Jerry Denevue, what do you think his royal highness will think?”Lucas planned to cancel Jerry's capture if he was somehow connected to the royal family.Victoria scoffed. “He will feel happy if you just discard this garbage.”“Great,” Lucas felt pleased. “I will help his Royal Highness clean this garbag
"Are you okay, father?" Victoria asked, noticing that the name 'Alex' had a significant impact on him."Viccy," her father walked to her side and sat beside her, holding her hand gently. "There's a rumor about how the king names the prince and the princess."Victoria nodded, her eyes wide with curiosity. She leaned in closer, eager to hear more."The firstborn will start the alphabet with A, the second with B, the third with C, and so on. When you mentioned the name Jerry on the phone a few days ago, we thought he must be the tenth born," her father explained, unable to contain his excitement."Father, do you mean Alex is the firstborn?" Victoria choked, her voice trembling with a mix of hope and fear."The firstborn of the Archelion Empire is Alexander Kingsley. The second is Beatrice, then Christopher, and so on," her father continued.His eyes shone with excitement as he spoke. "If your guess is correct, then the one named Alex is supposed to be Alexander Kingsley, the firstborn an
Alexander stared at the screen, his eyes narrowed in suspicion."Mr. President, are you really surrendering?" he asked."Yes, please come to the president's palace. We will sign the surrender pact," the president replied."Mr. President, I don’t know if you are truly surrendering or if you just want me to go there so you can ambush me," Alexander chuckled. “As I know you are the person that hate Empire the most.”"It's good to be cautious," the president laughed as well."I have recorded this video of you surrendering and will broadcast it on all communication channels of the Drakonia Federation. For the citizens to hear. Are you okay with that?"The president's face twisted in anger. "You bastard Empire! How dare you attack our Federation! We will never bow down to you.""So, it was all a trick to lure me there and attack me. But you made a wrong move, Mr. President, if you think you can ambush me there," Alexander laughed."As we are speaking now, your fake surrender has already bee
Andrew Deneuve, his face pale and still smeared with blood, drove himself to the Deneuve Mansion.“Where is Mother?” he asked the maid.“She’s in the main hall with the Spancer family,” said the maid.Hearing this, he hurried to his room to change his clothes and wash his face, wanting to make himself presentable. He would not show the disgrace of the Deneuve family to the outsider, especially his soon in law family.When he walked to the hall, George Spancer seemed really happy. Andrew took a seat at the table without disturbing the conversation.“With the judge’s verdict that Sophia was stealing money from the Deneuve group, I will use it as a basis to attack Grace Cecil, the Eden Group general manager for Blackwood,” George said.“How can you do that?” Grandma Deneuve asked. “I heard the CEO from the Eden main branch picked her himself.”George smiled cunningly. “Even though Eden Group is big, when they put their branch in Blackwood, they must align with the local culture and local
Sophia returned to her office after the court hearing. Her head ached, her heart ached, and she felt like her entire world had turned upside down.She was a model, a beauty, and one of the top three goddesses in the industry, with many people jealous of her, thinking she had everything.Yet here she was, in her office, crying silently, wondering how all this misfortune had befallen her.Her once loving and caring family had turned into her greatest enemy. Her husband hadn't come back, and she felt utterly alone, facing an endless stream of problems.Even her best friend had chosen to side with her family.Everything made her question her life and decisions.“Sophia Deneuve, the Total Construction general manager, was convicted of stealing about 20 million dollars from the Deneuve Group while she was the CEO of the company,” the reporter said on live television. “Since she stole from the family, the Deneuve family is still waiting for her to return the money.”Sophia looked at the scre
