Jeremy's declaration thundered through the air like a lightning bolt, electrifying the onlookers and silencing the whispers that had been circulating only moments before.

The crowd gasped, their collective shock rippling through the store. The cashier, her face a mask of shock, stammered, "A-all of section 56? Sir, are you sure?"

"I've never been more sure," Jeremy replied, his voice ringing with conviction.

"Ring up the purchase," he instructed, his gaze meeting the cashiers. "My wife deserves the best."

A hush fell over the crowd, the onlookers staring at Jeremy with a mix of awe and disbelief. But he paid them no mind, his attention focused solely on the task at hand.

The crowd buzzed with confusion, their questions reverberating through the store like wildfire.

"Has Jeremy lost his mind?"

"Does he even know what he's doing?"

"How could a taxi driver possibly afford to buy an entire section of high-end clothes? He can't even afford the dress, let alone the whole section!"

    "This man must be insane if he thinks he can use us to further his goals," yelled one of the onlookers. "How can he claim to have such an enormous amount of money and yet act so modestly?"Jeremy, who had just presented the cashier with the credit card, remained unfazed by the crowd's reaction. His expression was calm and collected, exuding a sense of confidence that seemed to mock the onlookers' skepticism.Jeremy's eyes were locked onto the cashier's hands, which trembled slightly as she held the credit card. Clearly, she was the only person in the store besides Jeremy who understood the immense value of the card. Her gaze darted to Jeremy, her face betraying disbelief at the sight of such a simple-looking man possessing such an extraordinary piece of plastic. In her mind, the cashier questioned how a man of such average appearance could have come into possession of such a priceless card. She had only seen one other person with such a card, and he had been a man of great wealth.T

    After several minutes of anxious waiting, the cashier returned, this time accompanied by a woman of distinguished poise and commanding presence. Her immaculately tailored suit and aura of quiet authority marked her as none other than the CEO of the establishment.The crowd quieted down at her arrival, the cashier's presence now eclipsed by the unmistakable authority of the CEO. Her eyes scanned the scene, taking in every detail of the commotion that had unfolded in her store.Before the CEO could utter a word, Mr. Snow, buoyed by the crowd's support, seized the initiative and launched into a swift condemnation of Jeremy. "Good day, madam," he said, addressing the CEO with a formal nod before turning to point an accusatory finger at Jeremy. "This fraudster here came to shop with his wife using an obviously stolen card, and for the betterment of your establishment, I suggest he be investigated thoroughly."The crowd murmured their permission, their whispers lending confidence to Mr. Sn

    The crowd stood frozen in stunned silence, grappling with the revelation. The CEO, her face still an impassive mask, bowed her head in deference to Jeremy, returning his card with a gesture that seemed almost respectful.She knew that the Black Card was not easily acquired. It was the symbol of wealth and power, reserved only for the most influential and powerful families. Jeremy's possession of such a card confirmed her suspicions that he was hiding his true identity. He was, in fact, an offspring of a prominent family, one that held immense power and influence.As the truth settled over the crowd, murmurs of disbelief gave way to whispers of speculation. The store, once filled with the enthusiasm of anger, now buzzed with a different energy. Who was this man, and Why could he afford such an expensive collection? The CEO, though outwardly composed, could not help but feel the stirrings of curiosity in her own mind. She had dealt with countless wealthy individuals in her time, but

    Avery looked deeper into her husband's eyes, her demand firm: "How did you get such money?" Jeremy, anticipating her question, had prepared a fabricated story to placate her. "The new CEO of Blue Silver Entertainment rewarded me generously after I reported Noah and his manager's unethical behavior," he explained, but Avery's skeptical gaze only intensified as she raised an eyebrow.Avery's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she asked, "How did you know Noah would gain the contract through illegal means?" Jeremy's expression turned confident, "Because everything about him is a lie. So, I just expected it and took the initiative. Fortunately for us, I was right." Avery nodded, her face filled with admiration. "For a moment, I thought I would lose you," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "But you've somehow always pulled surprise strings and made our haters feel defeated." With that, she wrapped her arms around Jeremy, pulling him into a tight hug, her gratitude and appreciation p

We only deserve the best, after all."The two women continued exchanging pleasantries, their conversation laced with a subtle air of competitiveness.Jeremy and Avery exchanged knowing smirks as they observed the Peters, basking in their perceived extravagance and magnificence. Even though the Peters were putting on quite a show, both Jeremy and Avery were well aware that their extravagant appearance was nothing but fake.As the Peters continued to mingle, carrying themselves with an exaggerated air of haughtiness, Jeremy and Avery felt an increasing sense of amusement at the Peters' insensibility to their deception.

Only middle-class men do that," he boasted, trying to assert his dominance over the situation.But Elvis wasn't fazed. With a chuckle, he fired back, "If you really bought that car, you should be proud of it, and have no qualms about producing the receipt."The crowd was on Elvis's side, sensing the unfairness of the situation.Elvis continued, his voice strong and unwavering. "This isn't about wealth, Steve. It's about integrity. If you're claiming ownership of a vehicle that isn't yours, you're nothing more than a fraud."His words echoed through the room, silencing the whispers and chatter among the guests.

    "What could be more precious than the gift I've given?" Steve taunted, his arrogance palpable. Jeremy, however, remained unfazed. With a smile, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a wristwatch, eliciting laughter from the onlookers who couldn't believe that he had presented such a mundane item."You couldn't even afford a proper box for the watch," Mrs. Peters chortled, her amusement apparent.Mrs. Williams, ever quick to defend herself, chimed in with her derisive comment, "Not only is the gift lacking in value but so is the way it's presented. It's clear that Jeremy's ideas are as impoverished as his social standing."She felt a burning rage, having witnessed yet another humiliation at Jeremy's hands. It seemed the young man had an uncanny talent for disrupting their status quo and making fools of the Williams. Mrs. Peters, seizing an opportunity to get a dig in at her rival Mrs. Williams, interjected, "Well, even if the gift might not be the most lavish, at least Jeremy had

Chloe asked Jeremy, her confusion was palpable.At first she had assumed that Jeremy was bluffing because of how unserious they were about everything, but the pair of eyes that had stared intensely into Chloe's told her that he was as serious as he could be."Of course there is evidence Chloe, do you think I'm joking this time or thinking about playing with you, I'm as real as you get, so I would suggest you don't play any silly games with me," Jeremy warned, his eyes pointing in anger.He was tired of playing this game with Jefferson and now his bitch Chloe, he just wished it could all be over before it even started, so he could have some peace and quiet for once."I don't know what you're talking about and I don't care about the evidence you have," Chloe said, her tone showing that she wasn't ready to give up, not even for a second. Jefferson was disgusted by her attitude."You don't know Chloe? I'm sure when you see the evidence against you you'll

I didn't know she came to me with another motive. I actually thought she loved me, but I didn't know that she was playing me the whole time, biding her time until she would strike," Jefferson said to Jeremy. He was so worried about how this was going to turn out. If he had known that something like this would happen, he never would have agreed to date Chloe, not to talk of proposing to her."Sorry is not going to cut it, Jefferson, everything is a disaster, especially now that we know who your fiancée works for," Jeremy muttered. His face was thinner than usual. It looks like he has not been eating or sleeping well for a while, Jefferson observed."Stop calling her my fiancée. I don't know how I got mixed up with that devil.

Jeremy asked as soon as he answered, his voice was calm but he knew Avery would be able to sense the anxiety emanating from his body.He was trying as hard as he could to regain control of his emotions, but it was clearly proving difficult."I'm fine babe, what's going on love? Have you seen the news?" Avery asked, her heart beating relentlessly. She hadn't been able to put her emotions together since she'd seen the news, her head clearly spinning over the possible solution.She was also worried about Jeremy and how the situation would affect his mood."Yes, dear, I've seen the news, you don't have to worry about that," Jeremy replied, trying to take her mind off things.He knew it wasn't going to help her to dwell on it and worry about their current predicament, and knowing Avery, he com

    THE BARGAIN "We're not going to do that Chloe, not after all we've been through, I refuse to accept that," Jefferson replied, his anger evident as he ignored Chloe's words.His heart was pounding, his nostrils flaring as he tried to catch his breath."You don't have a choice in this Jefferson, and besides you're not the one making the decision here, you're just Jeremy's worker," Chloe countered to spite Jefferson, her eyes just as bold as she hoped the message had gotten through.Jefferson was so angry, but he had to keep his anger under control as he didn't want Chloe to think she had won. She was nothing like the person he had known, the person he had loved and trusted. It was more like looking into the face of a complete stranger and he hated that feeling."I'm not going to let you go Chloe, you're very much part of my investigation and I was planning on unravelling every missing plot," Jeremy finally replied, his voice was deep and firm but the anger seeping out of him was just a

But the important part about this is that we discovered that Miss Chloe Blackwell was engaged to Mr. Jefferson, who worked for Mr. Jeremy, and they are both connected to her death," the host added,her voice clear and sharp."But the mystery here is why would Mr. Jefferson kill his fiancée and what would he gain from doing so?

    TRAPPED "Since you're trying to be difficult, I have no choice but to get a psychiatrist to hypnotize you and get the information I need," Jeremy said as he held his hand akimbo."You will do no such thing. You cannot hypnotize me against my will. I will not accept this," Chloe retorted angrily. Her eyes blaze and bloodshot. "You have a choice, either you cooperate with us and give us the information we need, or we'll take it from you by force. We're past the point where we're going to beg you, because we know you're guilty," Jeremy said with determination in his voice.Once again, he had to use a different method. Since she wasn't forthcoming with information, he had to do something else that would get him the results he wanted."I know my rights and you will not make me submit to this procedure. I need a lawyer," Chloe shouted at the top of her lungs as she looked at them all like enemies."How I wish we could grant that request, but it's not possible," Agent Thompson said, lookin

She hoped that by making her intentions clear, Jefferson would understand her and stop asking questions."You have to stop putting up with the mask Chloe, I have all the videos and they will soon be handed over to the police and you will have to cooperate with them," Jefferson said, his voice stern and sharp.Jefferson wasn't having it this time, he was tired of the game Chloe was playing and he wasn't willing to play it with her.For once he just wanted her to tell the

He walked out of her room and stood outside."What did you want to tell me that couldn't wait until we could get some decent information from your fiancée," Jeremy said uncomfortably. He was getting irritated with everything that was happening."You're not going to get anything from her because you're asking too many questions. Even if she knows something, she will want to keep it to herself because the format has already given her an insight into the problem on ground, but I have a suggestion," Jefferson told Jeremy.That actually made sense to him, maybe they were going about this the wrong way.
