It only took about twenty minutes to arrive back home

As soon as he parked in the drive and entered the house, Kate rushed up to him and slapped him in the face without any hesitation. “Chris, what did I tell you before you left? You still damaged the car!”

Kate glanced at the car; there were indeed a few scratches.

Her heart ached, and she was about to slap him a second time when her daughter grabbed her arm.

“Alright, that's enough mom. I suggest that we find out what really happened first before jumping into any conclusions.”

“Humph!” Kate was utterly displeased with her daughter’s actions but seeing the stern gaze on Eva's face made her yield.

“How is it? Are you hurt?” Eva knew that her husband was the one who had paid for the car. As such, she didn’t care about the car.

What she was most concerned with was whether her husband was alright.

Chris shook his head. “I’m fine and there seems to be a misunderstanding. I wasn't the one who caused the accident. Matt was the one who wa

    This is all your fault! You are jinx and I have said it countless times already. Get out of this house right away because there is no place for you here.”Kate lashed out at Chris angrily.“Mom, what are you saying? How can you keep blaming Chris even till now when the ones who have committed an offense are Uncle Henry, aunt Cassandra and Matt?” Eva voiced out expressing her disagreement.Henry rebutted in a scornful tone, “I’m not trying to say anything about you, Eva, but how could you favor an outsider at this point in time? Do you think your mom wouldn't know what's right?”“An outsider?....” Eva repeated with a scoff. “ You are mistaken, uncle Henry. Chris is my husband, and she’s my mom. I think we both know best who the outsider trying to sow discord between us is here.”Henry’s face instantly turned red in anger. He flared up as he was unable to endure the embarrassment.“Great…Just how great this is. Kate, take a look at what's happening now, you’d better open your eyes. This

    Because of Eva’s words, Henry was panicking inwardly. Indeed, He was truly here to borrow money from the Carter to settle his debts. He had simply wanted Chris to take responsibility for the accident that Matt hadcaused but he never expected that Eva would make the outrageous choice to leave the house! Previously, Eva would never show interest in their matter since she was only focused on her work and so Henry was unaware that the situation had become very different. At this point he was regretting the fact that he spoke too much and pissed Eva off. ‘What if they never ever come back? What will happen to our debts?’ Henry silently thought to himself before speaking out loud “Sister, how can you let Eva leave? She’s a young lady. Aren’t you afraid that others will gossip because she’s staying out with a man?” At this moment, Kate realized the severity of the situation as the last thing she wanted was to allow both Chris and Eva to spend time together. “Kate, you’d better go out

    Chris drove Eva directly to the mansion after leaving the carter residence due to the argument with the turners. Even though he tried to convince Eva to allow them return because he knew that she would be heartbroken to leave her parents. However, Eva was very hesitant and as a result they ended up spending the night at the mansion. The following day, while it was still 8am in the morning, Eva's body was still laying on the king-sized bed as she was yet to awaken from her sleep. Unfortunately, the loud ringing sound suddenly enveloped the room which cut off her sleep, forcing her to open her eyes. It wasn't her alarm ringing but her cellphone and she lazily stretched to the bedside table to pick up the cellphone. “Hello, who is this?” She mumbled after picking up the call, placing the phone on ear without taking a glance at her phone screen to see who the caller was. However, Eva was greeted by a frantic masculine voice talking back to her. “Miss. Carter, we have a serious pro

    “Is everything alright?” Chris asked. Eva was startled. She turned around to see that Chris had been standing at the entrance of the room. She couldn't say for how long he had been standing there because she had been so engrossed in her phone conversation with manager Delgado that made unaware of the fact that Chris had opened the door. “I have to get to cross corporation as soon as possible. There is a situation that I need to take care of.” Eva replied, not bothering to give Chris the full details of the situation. She believed that there wasn't much he could do about this matter since it was a corporate affair. Afterwards, she got out of bed and hurriedly rushed to the bathroom to get a shower. On the other hand, Chris had a grim expression on his face after seeing Eva's frantic reaction. He turned around, walking away from the room and pulled out his cellphone to give a phone call to Elliot in order for him to find out what the fuss was all about if Eva wasn't willing to tel

    As he drove the car, he could clearly see that Eva was destabilized emotionally and eeriness was written all over her face which made him very infuriated as he hated seeing Eva in such devastating condition.Chris just couldn't wait to get his hands on the ones who were responsible for this current predicament.Without bidding farewell, Eva hurriedly alighted the car as soon as they arrived in front of the cross corporation building. She was actually feeling very anxious about the current situation and so she was in a hurry.Chris frowned as he watched Eva walking further away from him. At that moment his thoughts were interrupted by the ringing sound of his cell phone and he immediately reached out for it from his pocket. Seeing that it was Felix calling him, he immediately picked up the call.“Did you find any news?” he asked straightforwardly.“Yes , mr. chris. I have found out who was responsible for the attack on the warehouse.”“Who?.....” Chris asked.“My sources tell me that

    On the other hand the guard immediately pulled the trigger again hoping that he would finally kill Chris since it was impossible to dodge a bullet at such a short distance.“I finally got you.” He clamored, having a wicked Green on his face but that smile vanished when the gun snapped and he realized that the magazine was empty.“Looks like you forgot to count….” Chris said in a mocking tone. He grabbed the guard and twisted it. Afterwards he grabbed the guard’s neck and lifted him off the ground effortlessly.******Meanwhile, Dustin Ambrose and Eric Carter were seated inside the small office that was located inside the warehouse and sitting across both of them was a bald headed man whose face was covered in scars, giving him a menacing appearance.“Mr. Neptune, we are very delighted that you were willing to have this meeting with us.” Dustin remarked, addressing the man.After forming an alliance together, Eric and Dustin schemed up w plan to rob cross corporation warehouse which

    Seeing Neptune standing a few meters away from him, Chris frowned as he also caught sight of Eric and Dustin. Feeling extremely irritated, He snapped the guard's neck before releasing his grasp. “As expected, I already knew that the Ambrose family was involved but I wasn't expecting to see you here as well, Eric Carter. However, I should expect nothing less since you have always been the center of Eva's troubles.” Neptune turned to look at Dustin and Eric with a suspicious gaze. “Do you know this punk?” He questioned. “It's not what you think Mr. Neptune. This bastard is just the matrilocal son in law of our Carter family. He is married to my cousin.” Eric hurriedly explained to avoid being misunderstood. “That's right! His name is Chris and he's just a piece of trash. I'm sure you must have heard about the useless bum that married the most beautiful lady in Brooklyn.” Neptune arched his eyebrows. Indeed he had heard rumors about Chris. Who hasn't heard about the scandalous ma

    “As always, it has never been a pleasure to meet you, Neptune. I don't believe I owe you no explanation considering your actions.”“Bullsh*t….Have you forgotten the law? There is a rule that was placed to prevent the bosses from evading territories, so tell me, are you planning to start a war?” neptune hollered, “I should be asking you the same, Neptune.Besides, speaking of wars, I don't think you clan can survive one again us.”Neptune bursted into a loud malicious laughter after hearing the words that Felix uttered. “You naive punk! This is why kid shouldn't be involved in adult games. I heard the you have become the head of the Landon family after that old man died miserable and I'm impressed that you had the guts to step up. But you bring too cocky and getting ahead of yourself.”“No I'm not. The one getting ahead of himself is you. I have enough justification to be here right now.”“What nonsense is spouting out of your damn mouth? How could you be justified to be here right now

    “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
