The woman truly wanted her daughter to divorce Christian and choose a wealthy man. Her sole reason was to elevate the family’s status.When Declan was at a dead end, Camila turned her attention to a wealthy man commonly referred to as “The Protector” approaching Yve. Camila immediately instructed Yve to marry this man.If only Camila knew that The Protector was Christian himself, she might have been shocked to the core.“Mama, don’t even start! I don’t know that guy, never met him. And besides, I have no intention of finding another husband,” said Yve, boldly entering the house.“Hey, you have to think about your future, Yve. I know you have a company now, but it’s still small. Surely, if you marry that man, he will help your company grow. That’s something very good, isn’t it?” Camila persisted, trying to convince Yve to leave Christian.***After being injured by Baltazar, Christian was immediately taken to the hospital by his subordinates. Upon arrival, his leg was promptly stitched
Dorota’s gaze remained fixed on Christian’s eyes. However, her mind envisioned herself as Christian’s wife.She then smiled broadly, revealing her teeth.“Oh, one more thing. For the shares I own in TV 5 and Rock_NYC, give them to Deo. But for the shares owned by Baltazar’s people there, I will give them to you. I am considering giving a larger value to Deo because it’s his business. Whereas you already have a large core business,” Christian said.Darrell nodded.“Do you have any objections to the distribution I’m proposing?” Christian asked.“I don’t object, sir, I just want to ask,” Darrell said.Christian raised his eyebrows. Then he asked, “What do you want to ask?”“For the Rock_NYC company, Baltazar owns 70% of the shares. And Alex has already bought 30% of the shares that he gave to you, just like what I did in TV 5. So, will I get the 70% shares, or will Deo still get them?” Darrell asked.Christian stroked his chin, thinking. This question had to be answered wisely by Christi
Many factors led Yve to choose to reject the shares offered by The Protector. But the most significant one was about Christian’s feelings.However, she also tried to be rational. She needed the company to make her dreams come true, to silence those who had always belittled her, and to prove herself to her family, the De Delta Family.“How, Miss? We should leave now because we’re already expected. It’s a shame if Miss refuses the gift from The Protector because everything has been set in Miss Yve’s name, so it cannot be taken by anyone, even by The Protector himself,” said Darrell.What Darrell said was pure nonsense. The use of Yve’s name was only when buying shares on the stock exchange, not when directly purchasing shares from the main shareholder. All of this was done to make Yve willing to accept the gift from Demetri.It turns out Darrell’s words successfully convinced Yve to accept the gift.“If it can’t be given to someone else and will expire, well then, I’ll accept it,” said
Facing a question like that, Darrell had to think carefully. A wrong answer could jeopardize Yve’s chances of receiving a gift from Mr. Demetri. And that would undoubtedly create a big problem if it were to happen.“What that person said is entirely baseless, Miss,” Darrell replied.He then shifted his gaze to the old man who had been talking a lot.“I warn you to watch your mouth. If you have evidence that Miss Yve has destroyed the stock prices of TV 8 Company, please show it to me. If you can’t, I will drag you to jail!” Darrell said, earnestly.His eyes stared sharply at the old man. At this moment, he really wanted to tear the old man’s mouth apart and cut off his tongue so he couldn’t speak again.“It’s all clear when Yvette De Delta bought TV 8 Company’s shares on the stock exchange; the stock prices skyrocketed immediately. But it didn’t last long. When Yvette De Delta sold her shares back at a high price, the value of TV 8 Company’s stocks plummeted instantly. That’s clear ev
Mateusz was shocked to hear that the person who killed Baltazar was Mr. Demetri. He knew exactly who that person was. The confrontation with Christian at the Dimond Hotel had revealed the true identity of the man as Mr. Demetri.And now, boldly, he had provoked Mr. Demetri by creating a product derived from stealing Pommes Frites’ secret ingredients. Mr. Demetri was on the move, and Baltazar’s death served as a dangerous warning for Mateusz.“You can’t be serious, Daniel! There’s no way Mr. Demetri could kill someone like Baltazar!” Mateusz refused to believe.Daniel raised both hands, saying, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you. But I trust it. My men wouldn’t lie to me.”“But....” Mateusz remembered something. He realized that what Daniel said about Baltazar being killed by Mr. Demetri could be true. When he and his father clashed with Christian some time ago, Mr. Demetri was supported by John and Alex, two powerful mafia figures in East New York.Mateusz then sat on a single sofa, l
The concern expressed by Hendrix was understandable to Reginald. In reality, he shared the same worries, especially about the family leadership.Reginald was excessively obsessed with becoming the leader of the Demetri family. Of course, who wouldn’t want to be the head of a family like the Demetri family, capable of buying the entire world?Even Hendrix and Ambrose desired the position, but they both remained realistic because, at the moment, Reginald had the second-highest support after Carlos within the Demetri family.“Hendrix, there’s something you can’t see, and I can see it clearly. So, in my opinion, it’s better if you just follow what I say. At the right time, the Demetri family will fall into our hands. But before we get there, you have to be patient,” Reginald said wisely.After hearing Reginald’s words, Hendrix couldn’t say anything. He knew his cousin had made a decision, and there was no one else who could challenge his authority.Reginald then turned to Ambrose, saying,
The desire within both of them continued to intensify. In fact, they found it increasingly difficult to control their respective desires.Christian seemed to forget the promise he made to himself not to touch any woman other than Yve. All because of his overwhelming desire.Zofia, too, got carried away with what Christian was doing. She just accepted her body being touched by her business partner without any effort to refuse. Yes, just like Christian, due to her peaking desire.Slowly, Zofia lowered her face closer to Christian. As their lips were about to touch, accidentally, Zofia’s foot touched Christian’s injured leg.“Aaww!” Christian shouted in pain.Zofia immediately stood up, saying, “Eh, what happened?”“My bandage got pressed by your foot. Ouch, it hurts!” Christian said, pointing to his bandaged calf.“Oops, sorry, I didn’t know. Does it hurt?” Zofia held Christian’s leg while looking at the wound on his business partner’s calf.“Of course, it hurts. It was just stitched, n
No one understood Orion’s intentions.Why should they punish Yve if they wanted to take advantage of her?At least that’s what Marigold and Alaric had in mind.“So, what I mean is that we spread the news about this affair to the public. Once it’s out, there will surely be a lot of criticism from society, which will undoubtedly make Yve embarrassed and pressured. Her relationship with Christian will surely become complicated. Now, at that moment, we step in to offer support to Yve. That way, she will surely be touched by us. And after that happens, she will definitely repay the favor,” explained Orion.The man rumored to be the future leader of the De Delta family smiled broadly after outlining his plan, which he considered quite brilliant.“Oh, so you mean we will use Yve, but she won’t feel used and burdened by us, right?” asked Marigold.Orion nodded, saying, “Exactly, and she will willingly help us.”Alaric still felt that the idea was not good and would only create problems for th
