Mona stood with a fiery demeanor, her face flushed with anger. She wore a striking red evening gown, with sparkling diamond accessories adorning her neck and ears. The diamonds, whose authenticity was now in question by Gaston, seemed to symbolize her pride. In front of Wagner's office, the atmosphere felt increasingly tense, as if a storm was about to erupt.

Gaston wore a cynical smile, as if relishing Mona's discomfort. With his deep knowledge of jewelry, he felt empowered to belittle her. "I told you, this was made with such detail. It would indeed be hard to distinguish," he said mockingly.

Mona, unable to hold back, retorted, "You must be talking nonsense!" Her voice was filled with emotion, expressing just how offended she was by Gaston's accusations.

Amid the tension, Damian, who stood between them, tried to take control of the situation. "Mona, enough!" he shouted, his voice firm. "You've said enough and are disrespecting the Master!"

Mona refused to back down, "Damian, did yo

Now, he found himself in a room resembling a warehouse—dark, cold, and musty. The sound of the door slamming shut startled him, and Samuel appeared, radiating anger.“Wake up!” Samuel shouted, his face twisted with rage. He grabbed a bucket of cold water and splashed its contents onto Gaston’s face. The water soaked him, and Gaston, initially startled, couldn’t help but laugh. With his battered and wet appearance, he looked like a ragged chicken prepared for sale.“Bastard!” Samuel growled, furious at Gaston’s reaction. “I thought you were so powerful that you could talk big in front of me earlier!”Gaston merely scoffed, as if mocking Samuel, who was losing control. His laughter only infuriated Samuel more. In an instant, Samuel’s emotions exploded. He lunged forward and unleashed a flurry of punches to Gaston’s face. Each hit felt hard

Don’t bring that idiot husband of yours!"Vivian could only clench her fists, holding back the anger bubbling inside her. This frustration made her feel trapped. "I’m coming!" she replied firmly. "And whether Gaston comes or not is up to me!"In the kitchen, Gaston had just finished making an omelet. As he walked into the dining room, he saw his wife’s flushed face. "Vivi, what’s wrong?" he asked innocently, unaware of the tension hanging in the air.Vivian didn’t want to explain what was really going on.

Why do you look like that?" he asked, glancing at the phone in Rosaline’s hand."Vivian just transferred $10 million," Rosaline complained."Where did she get that money?" Jonas asked incredulously.

Rosaline yelled, frustrated.Jonas raised an eyebrow. "Seriously? Are you sure? Can he really get that kind of money?" It was as if he thought what his mother was saying was nonsense.

    Gaston sat on the sofa, his eyes intently watching Vivian as she got ready. Her long, shiny hair flowed beautifully in the morning sunlight streaming through the window. Vivian wore a simple dress, yet she still looked elegant. She seemed focused, as if something very important awaited her outside.“Vivi, where are you going?” Gaston asked, his voice sounding slightly anxious. Deep down, he felt that something was off.“I have to go meet someone,” Vivian replied as she quickly tied her hair back.“Who?” Gaston asked again, this time his tone a bit higher. Suspicion began to creep into his mind.“You don’t need to know,” Vivian answered firmly. She turned and stepped toward the door, but before she left, she glanced back at Gaston.“Keep an eye on the house, and don’t go wandering around!” she ordered.Vivian walked out, leaving Gaston sitting on the sofa, his fingers gripping the edge of the cushion.

  • Uncovering Gaston’s Secrets

Gaston had just washed his hands, his face calm and relaxed, as if nothing was happening. But for Brandon, the burning emotions in his chest could no longer be contained.With a sinister intent, Brandon stepped forward. He planned to slam Gaston’s head into the sink. In his mind, the ideal version of Gaston would easily fall. However, as Brandon’s hand flew toward Gaston’s head, he was shocked. Instead of stumbling, Gaston stood firm, like an unyielding rock.“Turns out you’re not as strong as I thought,” Brandon muttered, trying to shove Gaston’s head again. But there wasn’t even a millimeter of change. Gaston merely stared at Brandon’s reflection in the mirror, a faint smile spreading across his face.Brandon felt his anger peak. “Damn it!” he shouted, trying to push again. But Gaston just stood there, seemingly enjoying the mom

    “Go wash your face and change your clothes,” Vivian told Gaston.Gaston complied with his wife’s request. He walked slowly to the bathroom, a feeling of annoyance boiling within him. He had felt like a burden to those around him for quite some time, especially to Vivian. Quickly, he washed his face; the cold water touching his skin provided a bit of refreshment, though his heart still felt heavy. He finished the simple ritual, wiped the water off his face with a towel, and stepped out of the bathroom.In the bedroom, Vivian had laid out a light blue shirt for him. The shirt looked neat and clean, reflecting Vivian's care for his appearance. “Where are we going, Vivi?” Gaston asked, trying to sound enthusiastic even though he still felt uncertain inside.Vivian smiled, gently helping him put on the shirt. “He knows my mom too,” she explained, revealing the reasoning behind her plans. “So, let’s just go along with it. Better than having my mom come over here and cause problems.” Gaston

  • A New Man Again?

    Max gripped the helicopter's handrail tightly, his heart racing. Next to him, Gaston was flying the aircraft in an extremely reckless manner. The helicopter shook as Gaston climbed to extreme heights, then suddenly dove sharply. The loud roar of the engine made Max feel like he was trapped in an endless nightmare.“Damn it!” Max shouted, his voice nearly drowned out by the engine's roar. “Do you even know how to fly this thing?”Gaston, with a mischievous grin on his face, didn’t respond. Even without using the intercom system, he could hear every terrified scream from Max. He knew that his dangerous antics were not just a test of his flying skills but also a way to pressure Max into talking.“Submit to Mr. Clark and name everyone involved in planning Jessica's murder!” Gaston shouted, his voice dripping with challenge.Max felt nauseous. His mind was spinning, and his stomach churned. He couldn’t think clearly. The helicopter spun wildly, nearly crashing into the towering mountaintop

Seeing the situation change, he pulled a gun from behind his jacket. A cynical smile spread across his face, filled with hatred. "You really think you can get away with this?!" Max shouted, aiming his gun at Gaston.As Max pulled the trigger, the sound of gunfire echoed in the cramped room.

In one of the locked rooms, Jessica, a young woman with long black hair and hopeful eyes, was trapped. Fear radiated from her face as she sat in the corner, struggling to hold back tears that were about to spill."Who dares to do this to me?" she thought, staring at the tightly shut door. The sound of laughter echoing from outside only made her feel more trapped in darkness. They were laughing, as if enjoying her suffering. Jessica could no longer contain herself; she began to scream, "Help! Get me out of here! Please!"Her cries were met with even louder laughter.
