Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 31
Why did you hesitate to exchange your contact details with Dustin just now?' Karen immediately queried as soon as Dustin left their table. “Mom, how can you expect me to give a stranger I just met my phone number?" Eva lamented with a pout. “Dustin is no stranger to you! You two have basically known each other for a long time. Besides, he is a very capable young man. I didn’t expect Dustin would be so respectful toward his elders. This sets him apart from those rebellious scions. Hmm, he’s a fine young man unlike others that I know.” Eva was astonished to hear this. “Mom, is there something wrong with you? You shouldn't make such a judgment about a person's character after only meeting them for the first time.” “What do you know? There is absolutely nothing wrong with Dustin. Who cares about a person's character when he is a young scion of a wealthy family? He wears expensive outfits, he is talented and very good-looking as well so what else is there to be bothered about? You would

Eva immediately moved her gaze towards the direction the sound came from and her facial expression immediately darkened when she realized that it was Bruce who had groaned loudly as he lay on the cold tiled floor next to his wheelchair which had also fallen to the ground. She gasped in bewilderment. She was unable to comprehend the current situation but she hurriedly ran towards the spot where her father was lying and knelt next to him. “Are you alright?!...How did this happen?!” She cried, her voice enveloped in concern as she struggled to raise Bruce to a sitting position. “Tch!…This is utterly ridiculous! I didn't realize that the security of this restaurant was so lacking to allow such a nuisance to enter this place.” A feminine voice grumbled. Eva instantly shifted her gaze to the direction the voice came from and she saw a young lady sitting at a table a few inches away from her. Instantly, an ugly frown appeared on Eva's face. “Are you responsible for doing this to my

Kate was instantly terrified. She was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. Previously, she had the guts to yank Linda’s hair and curse her out because she didn’t know her identity yet. Now that she did, she obviously wouldn’t dare. Lucas’s expression turned dark. “What are you doing now? I have already given you the apology you demanded. I won't forgive you if you’re going to continue being so foul-mouthed and keep crossing the line.” Kate was so infuriated that she poked Chris back and chastised, “Are you out of your mind? What are you instigating her with?" After saying this, Karen poked her head out from behind Eva and said to Linda deferentially, “Excuse me, Madam... It was all just a misunderstanding just now. I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! Please be magnanimous and let us off!” Seeing Kate stooping low and submitting to her, Linda immediately raised her head and laughed out loud. But she looked extremely terrifying because of her swollen face and large red lips.

Gregory naturally had a soft spot for his wife and he had to put the meeting on hold. Seeing Linda, he was melted by her tears. He raised her face in order to have a look at his wife’s reddened, swollen face and the disheveled state that she was in and flew into a rage. It wasn’t as simple as a slap on his wife’s face. It was an insult to both him and his family! His prestige would be ruined if he failed to punish the culprit. “Okay, okay, don’t cry. Tell me who exactly had the guts to slap you and lay hands on a member of the Jones family? I’ll make sure they are severely punished for their crimes!" He said with a menacing expression. Gregory claimed. He was very confident because the BS corporation owned by the Jones family was the largest establishment in this area. As a result, they were at the top of the hierarchy and gained authority to control this particular entire business street. Linda had a proud smile on her face. She raised her head and pointed at both Chris an

The crowd was awed by Chris' words. It was unimaginable that he dared to threaten not just a member of the Jones family but its helmsman despite the fact that he had a lower status. “What are you doing?" Stop getting him riled up unless you are trying to get us killed.” Eva said, pulling Chris a bit backwards. “It's alright. I can handle this situation.” Chris said in an assured tone. “Hahahaha! Kid, you’re too arrogant! You’re the first person who has ever dared to speak to Greg in such an uncourteous manner! You must have watched too many movies but you are mistaken as this isn't one but reality.” Gregory burst into laughter. He didn't take Chris' words seriously and considered them empty threats “I'll grant you a death sentence since you are already desperately asking for one!! All of you, discipline that bastard and make sure to break his arm.” Gregory roared furiously. The six burly guards immediately approached Chris and surrounded him. When the people watching from a

Soon, the ringing sound of a phone engulfed the room. Gregory realized it was his cellphone and he hurriedly picked up the call when he saw that the caller was his father “Father….” “Bastard, where the hell are you right now?! What have you done?! Who the hell did yo y offend today?!” George Jones, the patriarch of the Jones family and Gregory's father yelled through the cell phone. “What are you saying, father? I was about to report to you that I'm being brutally bullied here.” “Then just die, you foolish bastard. It is all because of you that our company's stocks are constantly dropping. All our partners are seizing every collaboration with us. At this rate we might eventually declare bankruptcy in the next four hours.” “What are you saying? I don't understand what is going on.” George muttered in confusion. “I made some calls to figure out what was happening and all the clues pointed at you. It seems you have offended someone you shouldn't have crossed. I don't care how

It was a silent drive back home. Even Kate who would usually nitpick on irrelevant matters just for the sake of nagging Chris was very docile. Chris' actions back at the restaurant were a bit of an eye opener for Eva and her parents. They were beginning to have a different perspective about Chris. Before, they were surely convinced that Chris was just a useless son-in-law who would never make any praise worthy achievement because he had always appeared to be simple-minded, non ambitious and he possessed no spectacular quality. As a result, Kate and Bruce never fully acknowledged Chris as their son-in-law because they believed he wasn't a suitable match for Eva. However, they were slowly beginning to rethink their decision after witnessing Chris' dominant behavior at the restaurant. As soon as they arrived back at their residence, Eva immediately went to the bedroom. Chris helped Bruce settle down in the living room. Afterwards, he also climbed the stairs, heading for the bedr

At this point, Eric's mind became even more determined to have Eva removed from the position of vice chairman she was currently holding. He had spent all day berating himself for not seizing the opportunity to take up the task to seek out the collaboration with Pegasus Enterprise. In addition, he couldn't get over the fact that he was responsible for pushing such a huge opportunity to Eva. However, he realized it was pointless to ponder over that issue as doing that wouldn't do him any favors. The results of his next actions were going to become the determining factor of his fate within the Carter family. Therefore, Eric dropped to the ground kneeling before Benjamin without hesitation. Benjamin's eyes widened in surprise as he was caught off guard by Eric's unexpected action. “What is this all about? What are you doing right now?” He questioned with a curious gaze. “Grandpa, I'm asking you to revoke your order to make Eva the vice chairman of the company.” “Nonsense! Have

“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
Chapter 281
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
