Caleb and Owen rejected the idea that Cassian was the one who caused the Silverstone family business to collapse. But they had not offended anyone today except Cassian and Elara. "S-Sir, can you explain what's going on?" Owen nervously asked Logan. Unfortunately, Logan had no intention of explaini
"Don't you know that the parking lot for servants is different?" Olivia continued. She pointed at Elara's old car. "Get that crappy car out of here! It's an eyesore, you know!" The people who happened to be in the parking lot agreed. Only luxury vehicles should be allowed to park. "But I'm not a s
Elara did not want to lose the momentum to insult Aveline, so she did that as soon as the announcement was over. "Didn't you say you were going to get bronze level? If I were you, I'd die because of embarrassment!" Her words annoyed Aveline and Isabella. Aveline did not want to be humiliated in fr
Elara stood up and tapped Olivia on the shoulder. "Excuse me, can you get out of my way?" she smirked. Olivia could only grit her teeth at Elara's action. She had no choice but to return to her seat, letting her cousin walk past her. As Elara walked towards the stage, people still gossiped softly about her. They examined her appearance from head to toe. "Who is that? I don't remember anyone like that in the West family." "This is the first time I've seen her. I thought Olivia would be the family representative." "If she's not the representative, why is she coming to the party? It's the same as embarrassing herself." People's whispers reached Olivia's ears. Embarrassed and upset, she lowered her head to avoid people's eyes. Aveline looked at Cassian, but he acted like she did not exist. She could not understand how she felt but was mad that the woman who came with her ex-husband seemed better than her. On the stage, Elara stood beside the representatives of the Greythorn and Avi
"That must be him! Runaway soldiers are more despicable than anything in this country," Liam responded furiously. Weltaria had a strong military compared to other countries. It was said that other countries feared Weltaria's military, so they tried to destroy the Great Commander during the war with the Narman Empire. They were worried about the Great Commander, who could control the entire military in just a short period. He was a living legend, not just in Weltaria but in other countries as well. Everyone despised soldiers who fled the battlefield for disrespecting the Great Commander. Society did not want to accept that kind of soldier. "I heard that soldiers who run away can't get jobs. They can ruin a company's reputation," Stella continued, increasingly convinced that Cassian's background ruined her daughter's business. Aveline's eyes turned red with anger. "I thought so, too. Even after the divorce, he's still a parasite to me!" Her hatred for Cassian grew. She had to expla
"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do," Olivia said, trying to keep a low profile. Her parents were proud to hear that. They could confidently face other family members because their daughter contributed so much. "My daughter is the reason our family can be Bridge Point's priority partner," Thom
"Mom, I'm home!" Elara beamed when she saw the woman she had missed. Hannah hugged Elara tightly, her eyes teary. "I'm glad you're home safe and sound!" "Congratulations on returning to us," Samuel welcomed his daughter thankfully. However, the rest of the family did not like seeing her, especial
Before Elara could speak, her family attacked her with insults. "You left home for three years and gained nothing for the West family. Instead, you embarrassed us by not coming to the Grand Ceremony!" "I'm ashamed to claim you as part of the West family. Are you playing around on the battlefield?"
Olivia wanted to hit Elara right now, but she realized she could be kicked out of the family if she did. Thinking about it, she understood that this must have been what Elara and her parents felt in the past.Because their position was far beneath Olivia's, they did not dare fight back against the h
The guests' surprised reactions were understandable because Eamon and Isolde had never been willing to cooperate with anyone before. Their only business partner in the past was Valoric. But since that family was destroyed, they had turned down all incoming proposals.They even rejected profitable go
The community party Wilfred mentioned had taken place long ago. Its timeline was before Aveline's forced marriage to Peter. At the party, Cassian arrived with Elara and Rosalie, sparking jealousy among the guests.Who would not be upset seeing a man with a bad reputation accompanied by two beautiful
"I'm truly grateful that Elara has found such a good boyfriend. From today onward, I officially consider Cassian part of the West family!" Scott declared confidently.Although surprised, the guests soon applauded Cassian. From Allen's earlier words, they learned that Cassian's parents had passed awa
Scott rubbed his chin, wondering what else Logan would present to him. The first-tier certificate was already more than enough. There was nothing more satisfying than this, so he doubted Logan's next surprise would excite him."Is it better than this certificate?" Scott asked."Everyone knows that c
The guests stood up from their seats and gave a loud round of applause for Scott. Most had already expected Boostix's success to elevate the West family to a new level.Although Boostix was a relatively new product, it had broken the record for the highest sales. Anyone could guess that Boostix woul
The guards at the entrance only glanced at Emily briefly, ignoring her orders. If Thomas's power within the West family had remained the same, the guards would have obeyed Emily out of fear."Why are you just standing there? I am the daughter-in-law of the West family, so I have control over this pa
A black Lamborghene Dominator glided into the mansion's driveway. As the car stopped, the gullwing doors slowly opened, and the driver stepped out while adjusting his suit.One guest immediately recognized him. "Isn't that Defense Minister Virgil?""I didn't know he would be here," another guest res
"It seems like she has lost his mind," Thomas clicked his tongue in annoyance as Olivia ignored him. He turned to Nathaniel, whose face was sour. "What did we miss? We need to know so we don't embarrass ourselves before the other guests."Nathaniel did not want to discuss how impressive Cassian was
