At this moment, Chris arrived at his destination, Chris Parked the car outside the house. He instructed Eva to wait outside while he headed inside alone

At this time, Kate and Bruce and Turner's family were now sitting in the living room, not speaking a word to each other. The atmosphere in the house had been very awkward after the argument the previous day.

Kate was even more especially concerned about Eva's whereabouts even though she acted like she didn't care the previous night. Contrary to her behavior, she had a different feeling of emotion.

Moreover, Kate didn't expect that Eva would really not come back home and even call.

“You should just call her if you are that concerned.” Bruce suggested as he noticed that Kate wasn't feeling at ease and was stealing glances at the telephone constantly as if she was waiting for a call.

“What?..... Why should I be the one to call her first?” Kate refuted immediately.

Bruce sighed and shook his head pitifully. “That's the proble

    Their faces were all down, but all three of them were surprised by Chris' arrival. They weren't able to hear the roaring sound of the car engine when because of the argument inside The room went silent for a couple of seconds before Chris spoke.“Hello, father, mother, uncle and auntie.” He greeted them all with a small smile on his face.“You damn rascal! How dare you come back to this house? No…wait!” As Kate was about to lash out Chris she noticed that Eva wasn't following him. “Where is Eva?!... Why isn't she with you?!.,..What have you done to my daughter you scoundrel?!” She questions consecutively without waiting for Chris to give a response to one question before asking another.“Speak up! What have you done to my niece? Why haven't you brought her back along with you.” Henry also harassed Chris as an act to suck up to Kate.“Everything is alright, mom. Eva is outside. She is waiting in the car?”Chris was confused for a bit but he quickly replied to clear up the misundersta

    “Hello, dad…” Eva greeted Bruce and hugged him for a brief moment. “Thank you for bringing us out today.” Bruce said. “Believe me..it was Chris' idea.” Eva didn't hesitate to reveal the truth before looking at Kate. ‘Hi, mom.” She only greeted as she couldn't bring herself to hug her. As for the Turners, Eva completely ignored them and proceeded to walk back to the vehicle. She leaned against the door to the driver’s seat and watched Chris help Bruce get into the car? Meanwhile, Matt shamelessly head for the front passenger seat of the vehicle. Just as his hand touched the door, Eva glared at him as though there were daggers in her eyes. “Scram to the back.” Her voice scared Matt so much that he had no choice but to head to the back. Only when Chris arrived did she move away. “You’ll drive.” As she didn't want Chris to drive the car Kate was about to nag again when she witnessed this. “Eva…” But before she could finish, her daughter cut her off. “Mom, you didn’t fork out

Let’s go eat. Anyway, it’s the Larson family who will be embarrassed. I’ve never seen such a petty person. Her daughter is already the CEO, yet she’s only treating us to a meal at a four-star hotel. If we were that rich, I’d treat them to a meal at a six-star hotel, let alone a five-star or four-star one.” Cassandra replied. To be honest, she didn't want to miss a chance to enjoy a good meal but she also didn't want to succumb to her desire which was why she put up an act.“You raised her well. You raised her so well.

    Eva's face instantly turned red as she nearly exploded after hearing the absurd words that Matt shamelessly uttered.“You dumb fool….it's easy for you to say, but do you know how expensive these dishes are? All these dishes will cost more than fifty thousand dollars at the very least! Thousands of dollars to treat you to a meal? You must think very highly of yourself!”“Why are you making a big deal out of it, Cousin Eva? You are a big time CEO and you must definitely have a fat paycheck so fifty thousand dollars should be nothing for you to handle.” Matt remarked nonchalantly “Stupid! Why don't you get a job and see how it feels to spend such money or you can just bring out the money since it's nothing.” Eva snapped back at Matt in an annoyed tone.“Come on, don't be too harsh on your cousin, Eva. Besides, Matt is right and you shouldn’t be that selfish. It is the least you can do since you refused to take us to a five star restaurant.”Cassandra also remarked, supporting her son biz

    “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
