Avery wasn’t having any of it. She was fed up with her husband Jeremy, who was clearly more interested in being right than in being resourceful.

“Jeremy,” she started, her voice tired and firm. “I think you’re taking this too far. It’s getting too much.”

It didn’t make sense to Avery. If Jeremy had plenty of money, why would he keep splurging on her ungrateful grandparents? It wasn’t like they were ever going to appreciate the gesture.

Jeremy was usually so frugal, always planning out every penny they spent. This sudden spending spree was really out of character for him. She had no idea what was going on with him, but she knew she wasn’t going to stand for it any longer.

Mrs. Williams’ voice was as sweet as syrup, but Avery could hear the mockery in her tone. “Why stop him, dear? Let him spoil us. It’s not like we get to live this high life every day,” she chuckled. Then, turning to the chef, she snapped, “Hurry up and do what Jeremy told you. He’s trying to prove he’s not a total d

    The restaurant had gone silent, all eyes fixed on Jeremy as he stood his ground. Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Peterson, and Steve were all frozen in shock, mouths slightly agape as they processed what Jeremy had just said.“Are you crazy?” Mrs. Williams gasped. “Do you have any idea how much that wine costs? You can’t possibly afford it!”Jeremy, still perfectly composed, met her gaze with a cool stare. “I’m fully aware of the cost, Mrs. Williams. And yes, I can afford it.”The revelation left the room reeling, a hush falling over the table as the three guests processed what Jeremy had said.“But how?” Mrs. Peterson finally managed to sputter, her eyes wide with shock. “How can you afford a wine that costs a hundred thousand dollars?”Jeremy, his words a sharp blade, pressed his point. “Or is that it, Steve?” he asked, his voice a quiet, dangerous whisper. “Are you afraid you won’t be able to pay me back?"Steve’s face twisted with rage. “I’ll pay you back, you arrogant bastard!” he spat, slam

    The restaurant fell silent, the tension in the air thick and palpable. All eyes were on Jeremy, their gazes full of curiosity and concern. How was he going to pay for the expensive bottle of wine? The thought weighed heavily on everyone's minds.Avery, her eyes wide with concern, immediately tried to interrupt, her voice laced with worry. "Jeremy, let me help you with this," she said, reaching for her own purse. "I can split the bill with you, I insist."Jeremy, with a firm but gentle shake of his head, turned to Avery, his expression reassuring. "Avery, it's okay," he said, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I can handle this. You don't need to worry."As Jeremy pulled the sleek, matte black card from his wallet, Steve and the waiter couldn’t help but stare, their eyes widening in surprise. The card, emblazoned with the emblem of a luxury brand, was the epitome of elegance and exclusivity, reserved for only the wealthiest of clientele.Steve’s anger and envy grew as he consi

    As the waiter’s words sank in, a wave of confusion and suspicion washed over Jeremy. He couldn’t imagine Jefferson, had betrayed him or made an error of this magnitude. The thought was simply inconceivable.“There must be some mistake,” he muttered, more to himself than to anyone else. “I don’t understand.”The Williams and Peterson made merry in Jeremy’s momentary discomfort, their faces breaking into satisfied grins. For once, Jeremy was off-balance, his usual aura of confidence and control shattered by the unexpected twist of fate.Steve, his eyes gleaming with malice, leaned forward in his seat. “Looks like the tables have turned,” he said, his voice low and threatening. “Now you can explain how you got that card. I’m sure the police will be interested in hearing your explanation.”"I'm sure you customized this card to look like the black card just to deceive people and get a woman on your bed," Steve said bitterly. Steve’s words, loaded with insinuation and scorn, sent a surge

    The table erupted into uproarious laughter, cackling with amusement at the sight of Jeremy’s sudden comment.“The waiter should follow him!” Mr. White suggested, his booming voice cutting through the boisterous noise. “Make sure he doesn’t get away!”“We can’t let him off the hook that easily!” Mr. Williams chimed in, his face flushed with excitement.The waiter, a look of confusion and uncertainty on his face, shifted from foot to foot. “I have no problem with you following me,” he declared, his words brimming with audacity.The waiter, understanding his signal, nodded curtly to the burly bodyguard stationed at the restaurant entrance. Without hesitation, the muscular man set off in Jeremy’s direction, his pace brisk and purposeful.“Be careful!” Mrs Williams cautioned, her words ringing with a note of warning. “Jeremy’s a cunning one. Keep an eye on him, and make sure there’s no escape route in that bathroom for a criminal.”The bodyguard, his face betraying a hint of worry, ackno

    Everyone on the table exchanged looks of disbelief, whispers of astonishment filling the air. They concluded that he had either lost his mind or was high on drugs, his bold announcement affirming their suspicions. Mr. Williams, his face a mask of resentment, turned his gaze towards Jeremy, his eyes searing with contempt. “Jeremy,” he began, his voice dripping with condescension, “you’ve exhibited a different level of madness tonight. And I’m curious, just how far down this rabbit hole of lunacy have you descended?”Mr. Williams’ eyes narrowed into slits, his tone sharp and tinged with incredulity. “You are aware, aren’t you, that Dan Stone is one of the most prominent CEOs in this city?“And yet, here you are, speaking of him as though he’s nothing but a street vendor. A mere commoner!” Mr. Williams shook his head in disbelief, his voice rising to a sneer.“Your arrogance, your lack of respect…I don’t know what’s gotten into you. But I’ll tell you this,” he spat out the words with v

    Steve stared at the real Dan Stone, who had just walked into the room, and let out a frustrated sigh. "Great. Just great," he muttered, shaking his head. "What a coincidence that the very person you're trying to impersonate just happens to walk in. We're in deep now." He rubbed his temples, already feeling a headache brewing.Everyone was scared. They didn’t know what the CEO would do next. They watched him walk towards them and were very worried.Steven ran towards Dan Stone, his face flushed with panic. "Mr. Stone! I'm so sorry, sir!" he stammered, desperately trying to keep up the charade. "I'm sure your manager has already contacted you. We had no idea that man was an imposter. He convinced us that he has money to pay what we ordered. We're all victims of his deception!"He tried his best to sound convincing, pouring out his words with an air of sincerity that he hoped would be enough to convince Dan Stone. Dan Stone remained silent as he walked towards the table. His eyes fixed

    The power and prestige Dan Stone enjoyed had been built upon the foundation of his relationship with Nathaniel, Jeremy's father. For years, Dan had served as his most trusted aide, loyal and devoted to the man who had given him a new lease on life. When Nathaniel had finally decided to retire, he had gifted Dan with a generous sum of money, connections, and a reputation that had allowed him to establish his own empire.It was this bond, this shared history, that had forged a deep sense of duty and gratitude in Dan towards Nathaniel and, by extension, Jeremy.The moment he had received the message from Jefferson, Dan Stone knew he had to act swiftly. With Jeremy being a guest of the Nathaniel family, he recognized that this was a crucial moment for him to prove his loyalty and devotion to his former employer's legacy.Without hesitation, Dan had excused himself from a crucial business meeting, knowing that this opportunity was more valuable than any deal he could strike in his office

    Steve seethed in anger, his mouth curling into a knot. He burned to speak, to lash out at Jeremy for putting the bill on his neck, but the presence of Dan Stone and his intimidating bodyguard kept him rooted in place.His jaw clenched, fists balling at his sides, he shot fiercely at Jeremy with his gaze, his disgust made clear in every tensed muscle of his body. Yet, he held his tongue, because of the fear of further consequences.Dan Stone watched the exchange, a perplexing smile playing on his lips. Mrs. Peterson, her voice a trembling whisper, spoke up, mustering her courage to address Jeremy. "I apologize for the disturbance. I thought the bet was for you to pay the bill since Steve forgot his wallet. I assure you, once we get home, I’ll make sure he sends the money back," she pleaded, the words escaping in a desperate rush.Although she knew full well that she and her son were in no position to repay such a large sum, she was desperate to find a way out of this escalating situat

    CHAPTER 496PREREQUISITEJeremy was shocked that Mr. Valentine turned down his offer. Who turns down such a huge offer when you know you're already in a position of power.Most of the time wealthy people are always greedy and want to fill their pockets even more, especially with money they didn't work or fight for."Why are you shocked? You look like someone who has heard something that has never been heard before. You can close your mouth now," Mr. Valentine said to Jeremy, who was stunned and didn't know what to say.Jeremy closed his mouth, not realizing that his mouth was open because of the shock he was experiencing."From my experience with some wealthy people, they will not refuse money or any free valuable gifts you can offer them. In fact, they'll milk you for more until you're completely dry and have nothing left to offer them before they throw you away," Jeremy said. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.Knowing that Mr. Valentine was a very wealthy man with connections

    CHAPTER 495THE CONDITION Jeremy couldn't deny how he felt as he listened to Mr Valentine pour his heart into his words.There was something inside him that he couldn't deny, and that was the pity he felt for Mr Valentine.Jeremy couldn't stop imagining how he must have felt. The emotions that must have raged inside him, knowing that things weren't in his court any more, and the fact that he had to succumb to the choices already laid out before him."I don't know what to say Mr Valentine, listening to you and everything you've talked about has left me completely at a loss as to how best to describe my feelings," Jeremy said in all honesty, his eyes locked with Mr Valentine's, making sure he saw all the emotions raging within him and the fact that he understood him."You don't have to say anything Jeremy or even try to make me feel better. I have already spent years trying to deal with my emotions and get back on my feet," Mr Valentine cut in with words of his own, his voice calm and

    CHAPTER 494ISABEL AND VALENTINE Jeremy was taken aback by the intensity of Mr Valentine's voice and the way he was taking the whole situation.He had thought he wouldn't be too angry, given that he had invited him into his home, but the man Jeremy was staring at was full of visible anger and it was obvious that he hadn't got over what had happened to him years ago."I don't know why I find it so hard to believe anything you say, or maybe it's because it's too bad to be true. I know my father and if there's anything I believe in it's the fact that he loved my mother very much, I'm actually sure of that," Jeremy quickly disregarded Mr Valentine's words. As far as he was concerned, he'd never believe the words of another man, especially one who had such hatred for his father."I know it's going to be hard for you to believe me or my words, and it's not that I blame you, it's bound to happen anyway," Mr Valentine said, looking at Jeremy as if he felt for him.He had thought that meetin

    CHAPTER 493THE INCIDENCE Jeremy was very surprised by what Mr. Valentine had just said. He didn't understand what was going on, the idea he was presented with was something he couldn't even imagine, it wasn't possible."You dated my mother, how is that possible? I can't believe it, it can't be true. My mom never told me she dated anyone but my dad," Jeremy said with shock written all over his face.Jeremy wanted to laugh at what Mr. Valentine was doing. He was actually trying to pull a fast one on him, but the seriousness on the man's face made him think otherwise.And if that was true, why would his father send him to Mr. Valentine knowing that he had stolen his mother from him? The story didn't add up for him, he needed clarity."Yes, me and your mother had a relationship before your father came into the picture and ruined it for us," Mr. Valentine muttered, his voice thick and clouded with anger.Looking at his face, you would think the anger was directed at Jeremy, but it was re

    CHAPTER 492NEW DISCOVERY Mr Valentine's words left Jeremy in complete awe as he tried to make sense of what he was saying and what he actually meant.He was stunned and equally confused, his eyes glued to Mr Valentine and his behaviour, equally lost for the right words to use.To say that the words he had just heard were absurd was an understatement, his heart filled with displeasure and obvious confusion."Are you all right Mr Valentine?" Jeremy asked, his eyes locked with Mr Valentine's as he searched for the problem.Mr Valentine on the other hand didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on Jeremy, staring intently into his eyes as if searching for something that Jeremy couldn't fathom."Are you ok?" Jeremy asked again, the tone of his voice quite bold, drawing a response from Mr Valentine who took a deep breath."I'm fine," Mr Valentine managed to say, his eyes avoiding Jeremy's, but the emotion that was coursing through him was completely captured by Jeremy who was still lookin

He wanted to see if he could get any valuable information from her."I haven't been here long," Vivian replied with a straight face."You must know everything there is to know about Mr. Valentine since you've been working with him for so long," Jeremy said with a small smile on his face.Vivian stopped in her tracks as she faced Jeremy. Her gaze narrowed on him like a predator watching its prey. Her demeanor changed almost instantly, she was no longer the girl who had smiled at him a few moments before."Why are you asking so many questions Mr. Nathaniel," Vivian asked, she didn't like the question Jeremy had asked earlier.She worked closely with Mr. Valentine, so she's very conscious of what she says. She could get into trouble, and you never know who might be watching."Well, I didn't ask for a bad reason. I'm very sorry if I offended you, b

    CHAPTER 489THE ISLAND Jeremy was very shocked because he doesn't understand why the man's tone suddenly changed.This was someone who didn't want to speak with him a few moments ago. Jeremy was already thinking that it was a lost battle but now the man has suddenly just changed.Immediately he had told Jeremy that he had nothing to say to him after mentioning his father's name, Jeremy was very disappointed.He still Wondered why the man had said such a thing to him. They've never met before and he has never done anything to offend him, so why did he speak to him in that manner. What could be the reason he thought.His father only mentioned that they were rivals in some areas back when they were still in school because they were both very intelligent.They also had done some businesses together in the past, doesn't that mean that they are friend enemies, Jeremy reasoned but he didn't want to think much about it.Mr Valentine had promised to cancel his travel appointment just to meet

Still, he wasn't willing to change his decision and was determined to stick to his word."You won't help me?" Jeremy asked again, his heart pounding against his chest as he thought about the words Valentine had said to him.It came out too soon, as if he knew him even though they hadn't met or had any kind of introduction.It was obvious to Jeremy that he would have a hard time changing Valentine's white heart to his favour."Of course I won't, as long as your father is alive, I won't help his son," Valentine White said on the phone, his voice thick with determination and the clear fact that he wasn't going to go back on his words.Jeremy was
