Oliver raised an eyebrow, trying to contain his surprise. "That's funny, you know.""Yeah, it is funny, but really important, Oliver," Elena stated."I think this situation is already chaotic enough without adding a marriage into the mix," he said.Elena's expression remained resolute. "I'm serious, Oliver. I need you. You heard what Mr. Liam just said. I need to get married to get my assets before Mother does something stupid. Please, I really need you," she insisted, her voice steady despite the turmoil in her heart.Oliver chuckled incredulously. "Boss, this is getting more serious, but it can't happen. I can't be married by you. You know your family will even kill you if they hear about it," he countered, trying to reason with her.But Elena's gaze was unwavering. "I know it sounds impulsive, but I trust you, Oliver. You've been by my side through this mess, and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have as my partner in this. I don't have any boyfriend or fiance, this is just s
Elena arrived at the hotel, dressed in a full-length gown, and used a scarf to cover her face, so she could be unidentified. She stayed at the front of the hotel waiting for Eden. After some minutes, Eden arrived as he briskly board down from a taxi. He instantly saw Elena and walked towards her.He scoffed, "Wow, I nearly don't see you with this your dress. Anyway, you are beautiful in it, and I am sure you will be more beautiful when naked."Elena stared at him, then uttered, "You are so horrible, very horrible. I knew from the first time that you don't love me, you just want to have sex with me."Eden spread his hand, "Yeah, and I am getting it tonight. Let's go in and begin with it already.""Call your father in my presence first and tell him to leave Oliver for the moment," Elena demanded."Don't you trust me? Your boyfriend is safe, as long as you don't defy me," Eden snapped at her."I want to confirm and be assured, call your father," Elena stood her ground."Ash, you are so s
As Eden grinned, anticipating Elena to undress, the tension thickened in the room. Just as Elena was about to comply, the door flung open, and there stood Oliver.Eden's smile faded instantly, replaced by a mix of shock and fury. "What... what, what are you ...?" he bellowed, scrambling to cover himself.Oliver's gaze bore into Eden. "It seems I just spoiled your enjoyment."Elena's eyes widened in relief and disbelief as she rushed towards Oliver, "Oliver..., you are safe.""Yeah, and you should have just wasted your pride on this animal," Oliver stated, and then Sophia entered followed by other soldiers. They all bowed for him, "Sir...""Take him away," Oliver prompted. Elena was surprised by the way Oliver was commanding the soldiers.Eden popped his eyes in disbelief. "How dare you do this? Who are you? How dare you order some people to just take me away?""Because I can simply do that," Oliver answered. Eden frowned, confused and furious. What could have made Oliver control soldi
The family members hurriedly signed the file, while Fred grinned; his cunning plan was working. After they had all signed the file, Fred collected it all and packed it back into the yellow envelope."Okay, yeah, sorry this is little, I don't prepare much when coming," he said and brought out another envelope, with a sum of 1 million dollars. With this, he would gain their trust; this would be little compared to what he would scam out of them.Kyle immediately grabbed it, "Wow, you gave us all this.""Yeah, sorry it is little," he politely said, in his wolf's clothing.Ms. Cynthia chimed in, "Wow, you see... I told you then to break up with that lowlife, that good for nothing man, now see you, you are enjoying your life to the fullest."Amelia's mother also interjected, "Yes, that is true, Oliver was just a big blockage in your life, good thing we advised you then."Amelia chuckles, "Yeah, it is a good thing! But please let's just keep our mouths away from saying something bad aura, le
“Could you please just remain calm? Why do you always seem so sensitive?” Mr. Cory pleaded with Sophia, who stood unwavering, her grip firm on the gun pointed at him. Mr. Cory reached into his coat pocket, retrieving a small, weathered piece of paper, which he then handed to Oliver.“This letter was entrusted to me by your father before his passing. He implored me to safeguard it and to do everything in my power to protect you and the clan from any destruction,” Mr. Cory explained.Oliver silently read the content. he could recognized his own father hand writing.Sophia interjected sharply, “But your actions led to the opposite outcome. You took nearly half of the clan with you when you left.”"I understand why you would think that," Mr. Cory replied, his voice measured. "But what I did was necessary to ensure the clan's survival. We were losing back then, and we faced many threats. We couldn't support ourselves financially, so I had to make a difficult choice. I took a group of soldie
As Amelia slammed her car door shut, her face contorted with fury. With her phone pressed to her ear, she stepped out onto the pavement, her voice cutting through the air like a sharp blade. "Where the hell is Fred!"She fast-paced to the company; she has been calling Fred since yesterday, and he was not picking up. Since Fred had collected the investment money from his family, he had not been seen.As Amelia stepped into the office, her secretary rushed towards her, a look of concern on her face. "Ma'am, something big has occurred," she said gently, "the investors are withdrawing."Perplexed, Amelia inquired, "What's going on?" With a sympathetic tone, the secretary explained, "The company has been put up for a public sales auction."Amelia frowned; she was perplexed and surprised. "What! How could that happen? It is impossible; I am the owner of my company. How could it be put up for sale behind me?"The secretary nodded slowly, "I don't know either. The investors are angry about th
As Amelia stormed into the Jay Group company, hyperventilating and breathing heavily, she marched straight to the receptionist's desk, her jaw clenched in anger."Where's Fred?" she demanded, her voice sharp and commanding.Taken aback by Amelia's intensity, the receptionist stammered, "I-I'm sorry, can I help you with something?""I said, where the hell is Fred!" she shouted."Ma'am, you can't just walk in here and act this way. Please, be calm," the receptionist calmly said.Amelia nodded, trying to contain her anger. "Okay, okay, where is he?"The receptionist checked her records, then looked up at her and said, "No, he isn't here."Amelia's frustration boiled over, and she slammed her fist on the desk. "Damn it! This can't be. I need to speak to him immediately!""Ma'am, he is not here at the moment. Who are you, and how are you related to Mr. Fred so I could deliver your message to him?"Amelia's anger burst forth. "I am not here for that! I want him now, or Mr. Jay himself. He c
Oliver watched Amelia leave, wondering what happened. He looked back at Jackson, who nodded jokingly."That witch learned her lesson," he stated, smiling, feeling very satisfied.Oliver curiously asked him, "What's wrong? What happened to her?""Why should I answer you? Why don't you ask her? Isn't she your ex-wife?" Jackson snapped at him."Yeah, I should ask her, just as I should ask your father about your whereabouts last night and what you were doing at the seaport," Oliver calmly answered him.Jackson pipped out his eyes in surprise and walked closer to Oliver. Lowering his voice, he sneered, "What the hell are you saying?""You clearly know what I'm saying. I'm curious about how your father will react if he knows you were into drugs," Oliver exhaled slowly.Jackson gritted his teeth, feeling like swallowing him. "How did you even know? Are you trailing me? Who the hell are you?"Oliver smirked, "It's just a mere coincidence. Just tell me what I ask you.""Your ex-wife has been d
