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.

    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.

    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 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

    Mrs. Peterson’s fury was a force of nature, her words like fiery arrows. "We were minding our own business when you called us here! You and your arrogant son-in-law have brought shame upon our family name. He humiliated us with that contract, just like you intended!"Avery, fed up with her ranting, turned to her with an icy stare. "No one forced that document on Steve. He gambled and lost. Stop acting like you’re the victim here."Mrs. Peterson’s rage was reaching its boiling point, her words becoming more and more venomous. "Shut your mouth, you spoiled little princess! This was all a setup from the start, wasn't it? You and your grandfather planned to extort money from us to prop up your pathetic company!" she seethed, the bitterness of her words souring the air.Avery, stung by her accusations, returned the venom in kind.

    Jeremy shook his head and laughed in a scornful way. "Mrs. Williams, I'm not tearing up that contract. I don't understand why you're so angry about this when Steve says he can easily pay the money. According to him, he has plenty of money."Mrs. Williams' grip on Jeremy's shirt tightened even more as she spat out her words. "Just tear up that contract and leave us alone!"Jeremy, his voice still calm but with a hint of mockery, replied, "Mrs. Williams, this is not up for debate. Steve signed the contract himself and he will pay. If he doesn't, he will face the consequences."Mrs. Peterson, her anger renewed, joined in the verbal assault on Jeremy. " You're nothing but a poor church rat who got lucky by marrying into a rich family. You're arrogant and proud for no reason!"Jeremy's expression remained unchanged, his voice still even and controlled. "Your insults do not change the fact that I hold the power here. I made a bet with Steve and he lost. It's as simple as that."Jeremy smirk

As they walked, Avery looked up at her husband with a mixture of admiration and uncertainty, wondering what secrets he was keeping from her.As Jeremy guided Avery away from the lingering cloud of drama, he could sense her curiosity and concern.

Jeremy asked again, his eyes looking convincing as he encouraged the doctor to repeat his words."Yes, I'm very sure and I regret every minute of it," the doctor said with the same certainty and determination.As he thought about everything that had happened, he regretted that he had been a part of it.An evil plan to disgrace a woman in such a way was never something he would normally get involved with, but because of the way they had packaged the story for him, he had thought he was doing the right thing.But now that the truth had come out, he had seen the costly mistake he had made."So you are saying the Senator's wife, Mrs Jesse, who spoke for Mrs Cherry Lawson, had something to do with this?"

I can't believe it," Jeremy said, his heart filled with anger and clear despair."He is evil, Mr Jeremy, and he should never go unpunished. I was deceived and I'm sorry I was ever a part of it, but his involvement is something else entirely and something should be done about it," one of the women said with a snarl, her voice trembling with emotion.The fact that the doctor was involved and looking for a way to remove himself was something that still baffled her."I'm sorry Mr Jeremy, I know you don't trust me or anything, but w

The Lawsons were known to be on their own and do not engage in public fights except when necessary. it was a great disgrace to the family name. Why would anyone do such a thing?"I know most of you doubt what I'm saying, but I'm too big to come in here and lie about her condition,"Doctor John muttered, his eyes narrowing at the other man who claimed to be a doctor.He wondered why a doctor would lie about a patient's medical report when it wasn't true.
