At this point, Eric was aggrieved. Although He was the one who suggested going to Eva's home to snatch the gifts from her in the first place, the whole family including Benjamin had all given their approval beforehand. Yet now, they were blaming him but he couldn't voice his dissatisfaction no matter how bad he was feeling right now.

“Anyway, since you’ve made a grave mistake by bringing this item here, you have to solve this matter.” Ignoring Eric's displeasure, Benjamin instructed with a stern expression, “Send these items back. You must seek Eva's and her parents' forgiveness so that the pegasus enterprise will let us off. Otherwise, it’ll be over for the Carters!”

“What ? Are you really going to make me go back there and plead for mercy like a defeated opponent? I have done that before and there is no way that I would agree to do that again.”

“You scoundrel. Are you planning to escape taking responsibility for your mistake? If you don't fix this problem then you can also forget

    Surprisingly, Eva saw that the box contained all the cash, bank notes and jewelry including the heart of Pierre that Eric had taken away the previous day. She turned to look at Eric and asked. “What are you trying to achieve, eric? It would be best if you just reveal your true intention already because I won't get fooled by you.” “Eva, it’s my fault for what happened this morning. Grandpa and the rest of the family really felt bad about how poorly you were treated so I hereby apologize to you!.....I really am very sorry so please forgive me. I hope we can put an end to the bad blood between us, afterall we are cousins and as family members we shouldn't have any resentment toward each other.” However, Eva didn’t buy it at all. “It is very amusing that you can resolve this issue by just saying sorry despite all the damages you have inflicted upon us. Moreover, we are no longer cousins since my parents and I have been kicked out of the Carter family, we have nothing to do with each oth

    “You people are really shameless! Always seeking out ways to exploit us in order to reap greater benefits.” Bruce remarked with a displeased expression on his face. For a moment, he actually believed that Eric was being sincere seeing how he willingly returned the items he had confiscated but it turns out that it was just a charade to make use of Eva as they always did in the past.“What are you talking about, uncle?”“ You would never have bothered to return these items back if the Carter's family wasn't in a dire situation and needed eva help to resolve the situation. You are not really here to reconcile with us but to take advantage of us.”Eric laughed awkwardly after listening to the bruce words. “It is very unpleasant if you put it that way uncle. We are a family so it's natural if we helped each other out.” he said, trying to mediate the situation.“We are no longer part of the Carter household so you should stop bothering us with your problems. What is the point of being part

    Eric knew that Benjamin was being shameless at this moment but he knew that arguing would only make his situation worse than it already was. After being scolded harshly by his grandfather, he turned around and left the house, feeling frustrated and upset.“Father, don't you think that you are being too harsh on eric? afterall , the one who should be blamed is Brother Bruce. If only he had trained his daughter more strictly then Eva wouldn't have grown to become very rebellious and keep on causing trouble for the family.” brian remarked as soon as Eric walked out of the room. He couldn't stand watching his son being consistently rebuked by everyone.Benjamin glared at Brian with a scornful gaze. “Maybe the family situation wouldn't have gotten this worse if only you were half as competent as your older brother,” he muttered half-heartedly wondering why he had so many strokes of bad luck. Bruce,who was his first son, was very bright and skillful in managing the family business. It wa

    Brian, who had also accompanied Benjamin remarked, berating Bruce in a disdainful tone.“Considering the relationship between us I didn't think that you would be expecting us to give you a warm welcome when All you have done these past couple days is torment us and you are likely here to cause another trouble.” Kate remarked in a displeased tone. Compared to Bruce who was holding himself back she on the other hand had no intention of hiding the disgust she felt after seeing Benjamin and Brian.Both Benjamin and Brian were equally taken by surprise when they heard Kate's words.“You damn old hag! Do you realize that you are in the presence of the patriarch? You must have gone crazy to be speaking to us in such a discourteous manner?” Brian lectured, his voice enveloped with agitation as his ego was bruised by Kate's behavior. In the past, Kate was usually intimated by Benjamin’s presence but she was speaking more boldly contrary to how nervous she always acted and this irked Brian

    Brian couldn't remain silent after hearing all the benefits that Benjamin promised to hand over to Eva and her parents just for the sake of convincing them to return to the family.If Eva accepted the offer then she and her family would hold a significant amount of influence within the family and he couldn't allow that to happen. “Father, you are offering too much. I am afraid that you are going to cause more harm than good to the family with these conditions.” Brian protested in a low voice only Benjamin could hear.“Fool! I told you to shut the hell up, didn't I? I'm only doing this to bring Eva back to the family so don't bother me now.” Benjamin groaned in a frustrated voice, rolling his eyes at Brian.On the other hand, Eva, Bruce and Kate could hide the shock they felt after hearing Benjamin’s offer. To be able to work at the Carters’ company was simply their dream for many years!Kate was especially enticed by the offer since it meant she would receive more monthly allowance w

    “Bruce, you can talk to Eva. She is your daughter. Tell her to put everything in the past and look towards the future. You are direct descendants of the Carter family no matter what anyone thinks.”“Father, I understand your point of view and I do feel bad about the current state of the Carter family. However, this matter has gone beyond my capability.” Bruce replied with a solemn expression lingering on his face.“What are you saying?” Benjamin queried with a raised eyebrow as that wasn't the response he was expecting from Bruce.“I'm saying that I won't force Eva to make a decision against her will. It's up to her to decide if she wishes to return to the family or not.” Bruce clarified, focusing his gaze intently on Benjamin as a gesture to express his unwavering determination to not change his decision.Benjamin was overwhelmed with disappointment but he couldn't stop trying. “I'm trying to save you from the regret of letting your own household collapse when you could have done so

    Misunderstanding?!” Benjamin Carter immediately lost his temper. He had already wasted several hours at their home and even got provoked, only to hear that it was all a misunderstanding and that Eva was not in a relationship with the chairman of Pegasus Enterprise.If that was truly the case then it also signifies that Eva really didn't have any connection to the current crisis of the Carter family and was of no use to them as he had presumed.He stood up, stared at them with a hostile gaze, and roared, “How could you make a mistake with such an important matter?! Weren’t you very proud and conceited when you bragged about it?! Huh? All you do is brag and show off, but you’re so useless at solving problems! You’re a bunch of garbage!”“How is this our fault?! I was merely stating my opinion and didn't force anyone to take my words seriously. You shouldn't blame your misfortunes on someone else.” Kate also lashed out at Benjamin as she couldn't endure being reprimanded by him. “Shut

    Bruce had his eyebrows as he silently watched Kate throw a fit “why do you even bother? You already know that she won't change her mind unless she desires to do the same thing you want. It's about time you stop pestering her or haven't caused enough misunderstanding already.”“I haven't done anything that is so wrong. As her mother, I'm only looking out for what is best for her so just stay out of it if you are not going to be of any help." Kate lashed out by bruce.It was at this moment Chris made his entry into the house as he just returned from grocery shopping.Seeing him, Kate wasted no time directing all her pent up frustration at him.” you damn wastrel. Were you going to spend the whole night shopping for groceries? You have been gone like forever.`` she shouted furiously at chris.Chris, who was clueless about everything that has happened in his absence, was a bit confused. He had only been gone for about thirty minutes and couldn't understand why Kate was overreacting. Howeve

    “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
