Bruce and Kate spent the next several minutes explaining the incident that took place after Eva had left for work and Chris had mysteriously disappeared the previous day.

At this point, Eva's blood was boiled in rage and her eyes were filled with anger. The Heart of Pierre was a gift that was actually very precious to her. In addition, it was so expensive that even she couldn't bear to wear it.

Hearing that such priced jewelry had been stolen by her greedy and cunning cousin made her completely feel infuriated. This time around, Eva was unwilling to let this slide.

“Mom, dad, I'll see you when I get home tonight. I have to end this conversation here because there is something that I have to do.” Eva declared and hung up the call without waiting for her parents' response.

“I need to go to the Carter villa.” Eva said in a firm tone.

“Is everything alright?” Chris asked, seeing the dark expression on Eva's face.

“ There is something I need to take back from Eric Carter.” Eva replied in

    At this happy moment, the family butler suddenly dashed in nervously.“What’s wrong? Why are you so flustered?!” Benjamin queried the butler with a displeased facial expression. He was annoyed by the fact the joyous atmosphere had been ruined, “How many times have I told you that I do not like to be disturbed during family meetings?”“ I apologize, sir but this news is very urgent.”“Well, why aren't you saying it?” Eric snapped at the butler as he was also infuriated.“I just received word from the guards at the gate that Miss evangeline is on the premises and she headed this way to meet you.” the butler revealed.What?!..... Who let her in? And why wasn't I informed before giving her access to enter the building." Benjamin roared, lass]himg out at the butler. “We didn't give her access to enter the compound,sir?” the butler hurriedly explained to clear up the misunderstanding.“How else do you mind explaining how she got in?” brian asked, frowning at the butler.“I heard they fo

    Eva felt that it was pointless to continue conversing with Eric. “I want to see grandfather.” She declared. Hearing this, Eric immediately blocked Eva's path. “Hmph, you want to go inside the Carter Villa? Forget about it! You have already been kicked out and disowned by the family. You have no right to enter our family’s house again without being invited and be rest assured that would never happen. Grandpa has promised to appoint me as the official heir of the family and there is no way I will let you back into this family once I'm Patriarch.” “You can only blame yourself for this loss since none of this would have happened if only you had accepted our offers and reunited with the family. In fact, you should be grateful that we aren't kicking you out of the house as well so take your leave now while I'm still being nice and don't cause anymore trouble here.” “Eric Carter, don't you have no conscience. You are doing all this just fid the sake of becoming the patriarch. Do you thin

    “What are you doing here? I didn't give permission to let you enter.” Benjamin remarked with a gloomy expression. “If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it. Leave immediately after you finish,” he said coldly without hiding the disdain he had for them. Although Eva had already prepared herself for this, she still felt rather uncomfortable. She had always held Benjamin in high regard but he was usually cold and indifferent toward her Now, he was now treating her like a stranger and the same goes as well for the rest of Carters seated in the room who were staring at her with a scornful gaze. However, Eva remained unfazed even though their apprehensive attitude was like a dagger piercing through her heart. “I'm here to reclaim the items that Eric confiscated from my parents yesterday.” she declared without any hesitation. “How presumptuous?!” Benjamin hollered, bursting out in outrage. “You have the audacity to make such an absurd request despite the calamity you caused

    Eva was furious and aggrieved.“I-I’ll ask you one last time. Do you still intend not to release the items back to me.”she asked hoping that Benjamin would change his mind.“Don't bother. Nothing will change even if you kneel down and beg us, we won’t look at it!” Benjamin exclaimed with disdain. “You are the one who is going to be in regret once the Carter family makes a return.” Brian remarked “Eva, you were only able to become a big shot because you were sleeping around with many men but your luck will run out eventually.”Chris' eyes glinted with a murderous gaze. He charged towards Eric and immediately kicked him in the chestThe impact sent Eric's body flying and he passed out immediately after slamming against the wall.“Eric!” Brian was shocked and rushed over to check Bryce’s condition. His expression was filled with horror and only after confirming that his son was alive and merely fainted due to the shock of Chris' attack. “He is alive.” He announced.Benjamin signaled in r

    At first, she was surprised by her mother's swift change in behavior but she finally understood the reason. “Can't you see that I'm disciplining this irresponsible punk!” Kate answered self righteously. “He deserves to be punished for his unfilial behavior.” She claimed. “But, Chris didn't do anything so why are you punishing him?” Eva snapped back at Kate before returning her attention back to Chris. “Are you alright?” She asked in a concerned tone. “Yes. It's nothing that I can’t endure.” Chris replied, slightly nodding his head with a small reassuring smile on his face. Kate became more infuriated seeing how Eva was doting on Chris. “Eva, are you seriously taking that punk side over me despite the fact that he abandoned your own parents?” she lamented in disgust. Eva immediately turned around after hearing Kate's words which were meant to blackmail chris “Mom, I already told you before that wasn't what happened. Chris was with me and probably had no idea that Eric was even h

    Meanwhile the carters were still in a state of euphoria as they were very convinced that they would be able to triumph over the family financial crisis. Unaware of the heavy storm that was charging towards them, they continued celebrating in spite of the ruckus that eva and chris had caused at their residence paying no attention to chris warnings. “Grandfather, I just had a conversation with the mr. Ryan, the manager of Apex Bank and he has agreed to accept the heart of Pierre that was confiscated from Eva as a payment for the previous bank loan. In addition, he has also agreed to grant us another loan of a hundred and fifty million dollars.” Eric whose face was still swollen revealed with a beaming smile. He was revived a few minutes after Chris and Eva had left the crater villa, “That's very good news! Our family can make a strong comeback with that kind of money. I'm really glad that I put you in charge of this matter.” Benjamin complimented, feeling very ecstatic by the news.

    It would have been a different case if only the bank wasn't denying them access to receive another loan.“Ummm sir, we have one more problem.” Manager Oliver revealed. “There is also a very high chance that we are going to face a lawsuit. “Actually, it has been discovered that our recently completed projects were constructed with low quality materials and our displeased clients are demanding a refund, otherwise we will face several lawsuits and we will have to declare bankruptcy.”The Caters felt like they had been jolted by a bolt of lightning.This news was a bombshell that was dropped on them out of the blue.Due to the financial instability of the Carter family,they were in pursuit of earning a higher degree of maximum profit. As a result, it was definitely difficult for them to have carried out the construction projects with all the necessary materials during the construction process. Thus, they used low quality materials to carry out the construction.. It was flawless even if

    “You damn old foggy! I can't believe that would be so petty. How many times do I have to tell you that there is nothing I can do even if I wanted to help you?” he lamented, his voice filled with annoyance. “However, your threats are very insignificant. You would only be worsening the current situation of your family by adding more crime charges if you expose our secret dealing.” he added in a calm tone.Benjamin was surprised by Mr. Jefferson's reaction which was contrary to his own expectations. However, he was much more concerned about the words that Jefferson uttered. He hadn't thought that far but Indeed, he would only be worsening the situation of the Carter family if he exposed Jefferson.“Since it has come to this, I no longer wish to be involved with the Carter family.” Mr Jefferson said and instantly hung up the call without giving Benjamin the chance to speak another word.On the other hand, Benjamin was perplexed as the conversation with Mr. Jefferson didn't end had he had

    “Where have you been all day, Chris?” Kate’s voice rang through the house. “Do you even know what time it is? You think that you can. Just come and go as you please” Chris’s voice was calm, composed. “I had things to take care of, Mother.” “Oh, so you disappear for days, come back whenever you please, and don’t even think to explain?” “I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t mean to worry you.” Kate scoffed. “Do you even care about this family? About Eva?” Eva clenched her fists. Why did Mom always have to bring me into everything? Chris remained patient. “I do care, Mother. But I had no choice. I had something important to handle.” Kate exhaled sharply. “You better not bring trouble to this house, Christopher.” Chris didn’t respond. He quietly climbed the stairs. Then came the sound of footsteps. Eva barely had time to react before she noticed Chris making his way up the stairs. Her heart pounded. Would he come to her room? Would he apologize? But instead, he walked straight past her

    The golden hue of the setting sun bathed the Cross Corporation building in a soft glow as employees exited the towering glass structure in waves. Eva Carter stepped through the revolving doors, her heart pounding with quiet anticipation. Her gaze instinctively swept across the bustling street, searching for the familiar sleek black car that Chris always parked near the curb. But he wasn’t there. She frowned, gripping the strap of her handbag tightly. Maybe he’s running late. It wouldn’t be the first time Chris had kept her waiting due to work, but he always showed up. Always. Minutes ticked by. First five. Then ten. The occasional rush of a car passing by barely distracted her from the growing tightness in her chest. She took a deep breath, pushing away the creeping unease that threatened to settle. He’ll come. He has to. But when thirty minutes passed with no sign of him, the bitter taste of disappointment curled on her tongue. She felt like a fool standing there, waiting. No ca

    Dexter was also equally confused, he was now sweating in fear but he still tried to regain control. “Mr. Landon, I assure you, this is just a misunderstanding—” Before he could finish, Felix turned and slapped him across the face. The entire room froze. Dexter stumbled, eyes wide in shock. “S-Sir?” Felix’s gaze was ice-cold. “You don’t touch people under my protection.” Dexter’s lips trembled. He had underestimated the weight of Chris’s connections. Chris leaned back in his chair, watching with amusement. “How dare you?....How dare you disrespect Mr.chris?....I’m going to see to it that you no longer have the liberty to conduct any more business in Brooklyn by the time I'm through with you.” Dexter was confused and could only drop to his knees instantly and bow his head in shame as he wondered how Chris was connected to the Landon family. “I'm sorry sir….I'm really sorry sir. I wasn't aware that Mr. Chris was a friend to the Landon family. I would not have acted disrespectfu

    Dexter’s grin faltered for the first time. His eyes darted to his hidden dealer, who subtly signaled that his hand wasn’t as strong as he thought. For the first time, uncertainty flickered in Dexter’s expression. But his pride wouldn’t let him back down. “All in,” he snarled. The dealer flipped the final two cards—King of Spades and a Nine of Spades. Chris had hit a Royal Flush—the highest possible hand. The room erupted into murmurs. Dexter’s face turned pale as he realized he had walked right into a trap. Chris leaned back, crossing his arms. “Looks like I win.” Dexter’s hands clenched into fists. “You… you cheated.” Chris tilted his head. “Cheating? You would know all about that, wouldn’t you?” Ethan chuckled. “Boss, looks like the casino manager isn’t used to losing.” Dexter slammed his fists onto the table. “I won’t let this slide.” Chris’s eyes darkened. “A deal is a deal. You don’t want to go back on your word now, do you?” Dexter ground his teeth. He did expect t

    To be honest, Chris had recognized Dexter the moment they locked eyes with one another. However, he acted otherwise hoping that the situation would become less complicated. “You damn bastard!....I told you we were going to meet again but who would have thought that you would actually dare to come into the casino all by yourself.” “You are getting yourself in this issue just like you did last time we met.” “What do you expect? I can't just stand by and watch your injustice.” “Fine. If you want to do that You want to pay off her debt? Let’s make it fun.” Dexter’s grin widened. “I have seen your fighting skills and I admit that you are good but let's find out if that applies to something else. I suggest a round of poker if you are confident in your skills.” Chris’s gaze didn’t waver. “I don’t play games I can’t win.” “What are the odds of the game?” Let’s make this interesting. Since we both have something at stake, let’s raise the buy-in.” Chris raised an eyebrow. “How much?”

    Moments later, Emma was led into the VIP section. At the far end of the lounge, seated in an opulent leather chair, was Dexter. The casino manager was a bald, heavyset man dressed in a perfectly tailored suit. A cigar smoldered between his fingers, and a smug smirk played on his lips as he regarded Emma. “Well, well,” Dexter drawled, taking a slow drag from his cigar. “If it isn’t the dutiful daughter.” Emma stepped forward, pulling out the envelope of cash. “I’m here to pay my father’s debt. This should cover everything.” With a surprised expression on his face, Dexter leaned forward slightly, taking the envelope with feigned interest. He flipped through the bills before exhaling a dramatic sigh. “This is cute,” he said, tossing the money onto the table carelessly. “But it’s not enough.” Emma’s stomach dropped. “What? That’s the full amount he owed!” Dexter shrugged. “I don’t know what my account manager told you but I presume you are smart enough to do the maths yourself. Th

    Inside the lobby, the atmosphere was refined—polished marble floors reflected the golden glow of ornate chandeliers, and well-dressed guests moved about with an air of sophistication. Chris quickly spotted the woman from earlier—Emma. She was engaged in a heated exchange with the receptionist at the front desk. Her posture was tense, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. Chris approached quietly, his commanding presence drawing immediate attention. “Is there a problem here?” His voice was steady but firm, cutting through the tension like a blade. Emma turned abruptly at the sound of his voice. The moment their eyes met, recognition dawned on her face. “You….” She stated in surprise. “What are you doing here, Mr….?” “Chris….My name is Chris.” Chris gave her a slight nod. “We meet again.” A few weeks ago, Emma’s father had been struck by a car—an unfortunate incident involving Matt Turner, Eva’s cousin. Chris had been the one to rush the old man to the hospital and cover a

    Chris let out a slow breath, controlling the simmering anger beneath his exterior. He had expected Sean to be a problem—an arrogant fool with no self-awareness—but Edward? Attempting to take Eva by force was an entirely different matter. That was an offense that would not go unanswered. He leaned back in his chair, running a hand over his jaw before speaking again. “How did Eva handle it?” Elliot hesitated briefly before responding. “Miss Carter maintained her composure, sir. She did not allow the incident to affect her publicly. However, based on what I gathered from Miss Amanda, she barely slept last night.” Chris’s fingers stilled. He had been halfway across the world while Eva was dealing with this. And yet, when he returned, she had treated him with cold disdain. “Speaking of Eva,” Chris murmured, eyes narrowing slightly. “She was furious with me this morning. I don’t understand why.” Elliot remained silent for a moment before carefully choosing his words. “Mr. Chairman, Mis

    Meanwhile, Chris watched in silence as Eva’s car disappeared down the driveway, her frustration still palpable even from a distance. He stood there for a moment, hands in his pockets, frowning slightly as he replayed their brief interaction in his mind. She had barely looked at him. Hadn’t even given him a chance to explain himself. He sighed, running a hand through his hair before pulling out his phone and dialing a number. It barely rang twice before Ethan’s voice came through the receiver. "Boss?" "Come pick me up at the mansion. We're heading to Pegasus Enterprise," Chris said briskly. Ethan didn’t question it. "On my way." Chris ended the call and turned back toward the house, stepping inside to grab a black coat from the hallway rack. Bruce was in the dining room, silently sipping his coffee while reading the morning paper. The older man barely spared Chris a glance, though there was the faintest glint of amusement in his eyes. Chris ignored it. He wasn’t in the mood for
