Undercover Billonaire Boss CHAPTER.177.Hey sister?.......I am part of the family!
At the Oval Event center. Amsterdam.Sara's breath caught in her throat when she saw Jacob standing in front of the door. She couldn't control her racing heart while her mouth remained open in astonishment.She couldn't believe that Jacob was back in the family!"What are you doing here?" She muttered in a very low voice.Jacob smirked. "That's not the way to welcome your long-lost prodigal brother after you haven't seen him for over a decade now."Sara took a deep breath before rolling her eyes. All she wanted to hear from him was the reason why he was back with the Edward family. He had left with his mother about twelve years ago after his mother was caught having an affair with Grandpa. Back then, Madam Ivy had made sure she fired her from the Edward family house. Jacob's mother was the lead chef and caretaker of the house whom Grandpa had brought in with her toddler, but after Madam Ivy noticed the growing affection in her marriage, she drove her out to secure her marriage.But
Undercover Billonaire Boss CHAPTER.178. Smiles never last in the Edward family.
Inside the main hall, it was buzzing with people as everyone began to murmur and gossip about what the Edward family would give out to their grandparents. It was well known across the city how rich they were and how creative they were with surprising their parents with unique gifts."I can't wait to see what their kids and grandkids have for them," one person in the audience nudged the other. "I'm sure they'll blow them away with such unique gifts.""The five princesses will get something very expensive. I can already feel the luxury from where I sit," another said."I heard the Edward children have been planning this for months," someone whispered. "I bet they'll give them something truly extravagant.""I don't know how they'll top last year's gift," another guest replied. "Remember that custom-made yacht they gave their Grandfather during one of his birthdays? It was stunning!""I heard rumors of a private island this time around," someone else chimed in. "Can you imagine? A private
Undercover Billonaire Boss CHAPTER. 179. It's Jacob’s season!
Madam Ivy's face turned beet red with rage as she watched Jacob exchange pleasantries with her husband. She felt like her heart was being squeezed, her anger and humiliation simmering just below the surface. She hated the fact that it was happening where she couldn't act up and yell out her heart out. She couldn't believe her husband was being so warm and welcoming to the son of his former mistress, especially in front of all their guests. This wasn't just an anniversary but also a business move for their empire.As Jacob smiled and accepted her husband's invitation to stay for dinner, Madam Ivy felt like she was going to explode. She hated seeing him, not even his mother, near the Edward family. She closed her eyes slowly, trying to calm herself. At least his mother wasn't here, just Jacob.Once Jacob turned around and left, she discreetly tugged on her husband's arm, trying to pull him aside and scold him."What are you doing?" she hissed, her voice barely audible over the din of th
Undercover Billonaire Boss CHAPTER 180.Sign the Divorce papers tonight.
Madam Ivy's smile was as sweet as honey as she replied, "Oh, Luca? He's probably too busy trying to keep up with the Edward family's lifestyle. After all, it's not easy being part of this family when you're not born royalty."The guests chuckled and snickered, and Sara's face turned bright red with embarrassment. She knew at once what they were playing at. It was no coincidence that the host was trying to mock Luca, and Ivy was supporting him - it was all planned out. Her other sisters turned to her, their faces plastered with a mocking kind of smirk, but she didn't care to raise her head. She left it downcast and continued to dial Luca's number.Madam Ivy continued, her voice dripping with condescension, "I mean, really, Luca should be grateful we even allowed him to marry into this family. He's certainly not contributing to our wealth or status, and I will make sure that changes tonight..."The host laughed and patted Madam Ivy's hand. "Well, at least he's got a beautiful wife in Sa
Undercover Billonaire Boss CHAPTER.181. Divorce would surely go down!
Sara sneered, "Grandpa, this is unfair! You can't just do me dirty this way. You could've at least talked with me to know what I think about this whole..."She was still talking when she got interrupted by the commotion from nearby.The sound of the sudden gasps made the whole of the Edward family turn.Some minutes earlier, as they exchanged words, three people made their way into the hall. They were all dressed in white, customized suits with their brand name and logo pasted on the back of the suit.As they walked into the hall, the three individuals turned heads with their sleek and stylish appearance. Their white, customized suits were tailored to perfection, accentuating their physique and exuding an air of confidence that made people curious to know who they were.The first person, a tall and lean man, had a suit that fit him like a glove. The fabric hugged his broad shoulders and chest, emphasizing his athletic build. His sunglasses added a touch of mystery to his chiseled feat
Undercover Billonaire Boss CHAPTER.182. Preparing to visit Apple club.
For the next few minutes after the Mitch Jewelry company left, the Edward family engaged in different arguments. Madam Ivy was restless as usual; she couldn't believe she had planned and succeeded in stalking Luca at the airport, but he ended up sending a gift in. She sat there, putting up a smiley face, but deep down, she was boiling with rage. She couldn't wait to be out of the cameras so she could vent out her heart.Meanwhile, Jacob sat at the edge of his chair, his eyes glued to his phone. Jacob's eyes scanned his phone, his jaw clenched in anger. He couldn't believe Luca had pulled this off, sending such extravagant gifts to the Edward family. He hadn't met him physically, but he already hated his tricks. He had been so sure he had the upper hand, but now it seemed Luca had outmaneuvered him and sent in his gifts at the last minute, which just secured his marriage with Sara again.Avery, sitting beside him, seethed with anger, her eyes flashing with resentment. She couldn't belie
Undercover Billonaire Boss CHAPTER 183. Tired of Hiding.
When Sara finally got into her room, she met Luca asleep on the bed. She propelled herself forward and asked her assistant to close the door and leave. She didn't want to disturb his sleep, so she just propelled her wheelchair to the balcony. Her assistant served her wine.Thirty minutes into drinking the wine, she checked the time, and it was past six.She breathed in and leaned back in her wheelchair. The thoughts of Jacob coming back to the family began to flood her mind again. Out of all her sisters, she knew deep down why Jacob wanted to come back. Everyone except Madam Ivy was taking it lightly. In truth, no one saw him as a threat to the inheritance, besides he is not an Edward!But to Sara, she knows things can take a different turn, and her Grandfather might decide to adopt him despite him already being an adult. She shook her head, disapproving of her own thoughts... "That can't happen; Grandpa won't do such a thing," she assured herself.However, Luca finally winced his eye
Undercover Billonaire Boss CHAPTER 184. Legendary Dinner.
At the Edward family Private Villa. It was around 7:23 pm when Luca pushed his wife, Sara, out of the room and started to head to the dinner table. Meanwhile, at the dining table were Madam Ivy, her husband, the other four princesses of the Edward family, some of their cousins, nephews, and nieces, and Avery. As usual, Luca and Sara were always the last ones to come out.The air was filled with excitement and happiness as congratulations started to pour in like water.The two celebrants sat next to each other, holding hands and exchanging smiles like teenagers."Where is Sara?" Avery broke the silence. "We can't keep waiting for one person, we should start eating if she isn't joining us."Grandpa quickly cautioned her. "No, Avery! Sara should be on her way. This is a family dinner, and everyone should be present."Just as Grandpa finished speaking, Madam Ivy chimed in, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Yes, where is Sara? Probably still waiting for her broke husband."The room

EPILOGUE FIVE YEARS LATER“Daddy!” A young boy of around four screamed as soon as he saw Luca.Luca crouched down and pulled him into a hug before planting a kiss on his cheek. “Where's your mama?” he asked, holding his son's hand as they walked into the gently manicured lawn.When he arrived, he found Sara with their newborn. The cool evening breeze grazed their skin, with different shadows lurking at every nook and corner, on standby in case anything happened.Luca joined Sara on the plush couch in the lawn. Narrowing his eyes, he looked around and saw he was surrounded by the people he loved the most. Sara sat beside him, cradling their newborn in her arms, while their son, Alessandro, picked up his building blocks from the floor, preparing to arrange them.Luca reached for his wife’s shoulders, pulling her close. “I’m so grateful for this—the family we have built together,” he admitted with a soft smile.Sara nodded, flashing him a smile in return. “Me too, baby.” She leaned in

I breathed in before I walked into the courtroom. Once I stood inside the room, I heard a low booing. Even if I pretended not to hear it, even if I acted like I didn’t care and was deaf, I heard that booing loud and clear. I dragged my feet as I walked to the desk I was supposed to be seated at, but I wasn't going to let that get to me. These were minor things to deter me from focusing.My eyes narrowed and met those of my attorney; he had a stern but reassuring look on his face that got me excited again. I gave a shaky nod before settling in. A cold sweat broke across my forehead, and I wiped it away with a trembling hand. The next moment, the judge's gavel hit the desk, demanding silence from the whispers and murmurs that were beginning to fill the room.As I finally raised my head, I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves, but the low booing flashed in my mind and felt like a punch to my gut. The atmosphere was now tense as I looked around. There was Carlos, seated in his tai

CHAPTER 240The majority of the guests' eyes widened in shock, and some mouths hung open in disbelief at the sight of Luca in his custom-made Givenchy suit. Edmund and Stefano's laughter froze on their lips once they noticed Luca; they just sat there staring at him with a mixture of surprise and confusion. Not that they had expected him to be dead; they knew he wasn't dead, but they expected that since he had escaped the explosion, he would have some bruises or injuries that might prevent him from coming to the wedding.They couldn't believe he had come and was fully healthy. With the way he walked, flexing his steps and muscles, anyone could tell there were no injuries on his body. The question that lingered in their minds was: where had he been all this time if he was never injured?Sara's eyes, which had been welling up with tears—even though she had seen him less than twenty-four hours ago—noticed that Luca seemed like a new person and that there was something he was hiding from t

Minutes later, Stefano and Edmund arrived at the grand hall. Once their car was parked in the lot, their men quickly opened the doors for them, and they stepped out. Edmund's eyes widened as he was immediately struck by the sheer opulence surrounding them—the lavish decorations, the sparkling chandeliers, and the exquisite furnishings. He never expected it to be this grand.Stefano, on the other hand, was equally shocked by what he was seeing. “Wow, Luca really did a fantastic job with the decor here,” he said.Edmund nodded in agreement, his own eyes scanning the room with equal wonder. “I've never seen anything like it, Stefano. The attention to detail, the sheer scale of it all... it's truly mesmerizing. Well, let's not act like we didn't know the family he is marrying into.”“They must be behind all of this.”“I just hope his suit matches the elegance of today’s occasion.”“Well, that is if he’s able to climb down from the hospital bed to come say ‘I do,’” Edmund mocked, and they

Luca sat at his table with Blue next to him as she explained the surge in revenue of the hotel and its clubs in the last few months.The soft glow of the hotel's lobby lights cast a warm ambiance as Luca listened intently to Blue's presentation. She clicked a remote, and a graph displaying the hotel's revenue appeared on the screen behind her."As you can see, sir, our revenue has increased by 25% in the last quarter," Blue explained, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "And if we break it down further, we can see that the clubs have been a major contributor to this surge. I just know Lord Ercole would be so proud of the tactics you have used in his investments and brought up the revenue."Luca nodded thoughtfully, his eyes scanning the graph. "That's impressive, Blue. I'm glad we could make a change."Blue smiled, confident in her analysis. "Well, I think it's a combination of factors. Our marketing strategy has been on point, and we've seen a significant increase in foot traffic. Ad

Sara's eyes widened in shock as Madam Ivy's words cut through her like a knife. She felt like she had been punched in the gut, her breath caught in her throat. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Madam Ivy's announcement was a clear attack on her, a way to discredit her and eliminate her from the running for CEO that was clearly her birthright. She had given her all to the company all her life.Sara was taken aback by the sudden attack from her Grandmother. If anything, Madam Ivy's enemy should be Jacob and not her.Her face turned red with rage as she tried to process what was happening. She couldn't believe that Madam Ivy would stoop so low, using her marriage status against her. She felt a surge of anger and humiliation, her eyes darting around the room to see if anyone else was reacting to Madam Ivy's cruel words, but everyone seemed fine with what she said.Luca, who was sitting next to her, shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He looked at everyone, and they looked like the

Back at the Edward family house, it was exactly 6:56 pm when Luca joined the ongoing dinner table in the dining room. Everyone was present, with Jacob and his mother inclusive. It was just one person missing that everyone was waiting for.A couple of minutes later, the door swung open and about three maids helped Madam Ivy to the dining table. One of the maids wrapped her hands around Madam Ivy's waist, and the other one had her hands over her shoulders as a wedge. They pulled the chair out and helped her to settle down into it. Meanwhile, as they helped her slowly to the chair, Luca, who had seen her current condition, couldn't help but stifle his laughter, but then it was too late, and his smirk caught everyone's attention except Grandpa, who had his head downwards.Once Sara noticed the smirk on his face, it flashed back into her memory... he has another family! Her face paled up immediately, and she clenched her hands, crumpling her dress under the table. She couldn't believe he h
