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

    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

    Jeremy's response was swift and resolute, his hand tightening its grip around Avery's as if to shield her from her family's prying eyes. "I answer only to my wife. I owe nobody an explanation, especially those who would seek to see me fail," he declared, his tone a mix of confidence and defiance.With a gentle tug, he led Avery away from the gathering, a silent but clear signal that the conversation was over. 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. He stopped for a moment, his hand gently cupping her cheek, his expression softening."My love," he began, his voice low and intimate, "I promise you, all of these ain't intended to harm you."Avery's heart fluttered at his tenderness, but still, she couldn't shake the nagging feeling that there was more to this story."How I'm, I 'm even

    As Mrs. Williams spoke to the bouncer, Avery's instincts kicked into high gear. Without hesitation, she boldly moved between the two men, placing herself as a human shield in front of Jeremy."My husband is no imposter!" she declared, her voice echoing with defiance. Mrs. Williams stood her ground, her piercing gaze locked on the guard. "He's lying, just like I told you earlier. If anything goes wrong, it's because of him. I insist you take him away now!"The bouncer, seemingly unfazed by the commotion surrounding him, fixed his gaze on Jeremy, his expression betraying a hint of confusion. "My boss specifically asked me to hand this over to you, sir," the guard said, producing a sleek, black card that bore the restaurant's logo. He held it out towards Jeremy, as if offering a talisman of some sort. " What's this?" Avery questioned. "This is a black card. It's a highly exclusive membership, only given to the most elite individuals. It signifies unlimited access to the restaurant,

A warm smile danced across her lips as she made eye contact with Jeremy.“Oh, my princess, you’re awake!” Jeremy exclaimed, delighted to see his daughter conscious again. Mia responded with a gentle nod, her eyes filled with love for her father."Are those tears in your eyes Daddy? Why are you crying? " Mia asked innocently and Jeremy chuckled. Mia’s innocent inquiry brought a smile to Jeremy’s face, which quickly morphed into a chuckle. “You sure ask a lot of questions for a sleepy little girl,” he teased, wiping away the traces of moisture from his eyes.“But seriously, Daddy, why are you crying?” Mia asked her tone now more somber. Jeremy’s smile faded as he looked down at his daughter, thinking of the best way to explain his emotions. “Sometimes, life is complicated and full of things that make people sad,” he said."Men don't cry. Only women do! " Mia said and her parent chuck

    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 494 ISABEL AND VALENTINE

    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

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
