Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 44
Benjamin was extremely anxious. He was currently in a very foul mood but he dared not flare up because he was dealing with the Pegasus Enterprise; the largest business organization in Brooklyn. After Eric left, he called in a servant. “Tell everyone to come here for an emergency meeting!” he ordered. In less than an hour, all the members of the Carter family had arrived at the Carter Villa, except for Eva and her parents and gathered in the main living room. Each one of them was smiling brightly and had an excited expression on their respective faces. They didn't know why Benjamin summoned them all but they had all assumed that they had received good news from Pegasus Enterprise. Unfortunately, none of them were aware of the recent developments regarding Pegasus Enterprise's intention to terminate the contract. They soon realized that something was amiss when they saw the irritated expression on Benjamin’s face as he entered the room. The smile on their faces instantly vanished

Eva remained cooped in her room and refused to see anyone after her last meeting with Benjamin. She was unwilling to do anything or even get involved in the matters of the family anymore. In spite of her parents' constant probing, she refused to say a single word and came out of her room. At this point, Chris was even becoming more worried. At this moment, Bruce’s phone rang. He was surprised seeing that it was a call from his younger brother, Brian, he immediately picked up. “Hello, Brian. It’s very surprising that you called me personally after such a long while. “I don't have time for pleasantries. I need to pass an urgent message from our father to your daughter, Evangeline. I wouldn't have bothered calling you if only I could reach her.” Brian said in an unpleasant tone. He had tried calling Eva a couple of times but he couldn't establish a connection. “The Patriarch had ordered her to be at the villa as soon as possible. If she fails to comply then you all can forget abou
Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 46
After hearing the words that Benjamin said, the Carters couldn’t help but look at each other in astonishment. It had been a long time since anyone was disowned and kicked out of the family. Although people no longer place that much emphasis on family ties and being disowned by your family may not warrant public hatred these days, it was still a serious matter for a major elite family like the Carters, because it was a matter that could be pursued publicly. After being disowned and chased out of the family, they would no longer be entitled to all the dividends and benefits of the companies owned by the Carters, and even their residence would be confiscated. After all, being disowned by your family was an extremely embarrassing thing, as it usually meant that you had committed a heinous offense and had a problematic character that caused you to be chased out of the family. At this moment, Eva’s heart turned cold. She had done so much for the family in the past, but what was i

At the Cross Corporation building, Benjamin was seated at the head of the table in the conference room along with all the top executives of the company. The Carter family household was in a state of disarray. Today was the deadline Pegasus Enterprise had given them to sort out the compensation f*e for breaching the contract but they were yet to find a solution to the issue. As a result, Benjamin had called a meeting to discuss this troubling issue. However, the meeting was just about to commence when Eric got a phone call from a lower employee who informed him about the arrival of delegates from Pegasus Enterprise. At first, Benjamin was about to scold Eric for keeping his cell phone on during such an important meeting but he was instantly interrupted before he got the chance to say anything. “Grandpa, it's very bad news! I have just been informed that the legal team representing Pegasus Enterprise has arrived and they are currently in the lobby.” Eri was extremely flustered, and h
Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 48
Over the past two days, the Cross Corporation had been troubled over the matter of being sued by the Pegasus Enterprise. Evangeline Carter had been staying outside the Pegasus Enterpries’s office every day in a bid to see Elliot Brown. On the other hand, none of the members of the Carter family showed up. Since it was stated in the contract that Eva was to be the person in charge, the Carters had to comply and make her the person in charge. However, Jeremy was somehow able to discover that the Carters immediately appointed Eric as the Vice Chairman of the Brilliance Corporation on the next day that they signed the contract. On the other hand, Eva was instantly discarded after they no longer found her to be useful. He didn't know Evangeline Carter but he had a good impression of her and thought that she was very talented to be able to secure such a massive contract from Pegasus Enterprise. As a result, Jeremy Lawrence felt that the Carters had no one to blame but themselves for the
Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 49
In his heart, Jeremy was smiling wickedly. He finally had the Carters caught in his trap just like he had planned. He cut straight to the chase without delay. “After much consideration, Pegasus Enterprise had concluded to the fact that Cross Corporation can be used as a form of compensation. Although the company isn't worth much in terms of financial value but we hope that it will earn its keep in the following years." “What?! That sounds outrageous! We have to hand over the Cross Corporation as compensation for breaching the contract. This company is the legacy of our Carter household." Eric instantly sprang up furiously. “Yes, I'm afraid we can't be obliged to such demands. You guys are clearly trying to rip us off.” Brian added in support of Eric's words. Soon the other Carters began expressing their negative opinions about Jeremy's suggestion “This is unacceptable. The Pegasus Enterprise is trying to steal our company.” “Signing the contract was a trap to lure us in the first
Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 50
As soon as the delegates of Pegasus Enterprise left, Eric broke into a rageful outburst. “Grandpa, are we really just giving to let them take this company away from us?” “Yes father, we have to do something," Brian added. Benjamin glanced at both Eric and Brian with a pitiful expression on his face. He could understand where they were coming from as Cross Corporation was the Carter family's most profitable business. As a result, following their loss of the ownership of Cross corporation was definitely going to bring about difficult times as they would suffer immense financial instability. “Do either of you have any bright ideas to deal with this situation?” Benjamin remarked. His words forced both Eric and Brian to lower their gazes in shame. “See, it is also very difficult for me as well. Moreover, I hope that you don't forget that we are dealing with Pegasus Enterprise. It would surely end badly for us if we dared to go against them so we can only suffer our loss in silence

A short while later, several loud banging sounds on the door were heard making Kate rush out of the kitchen. “Who the hell is that? Why don't you just break the door if you are too impatient to wait for us to open the door.” She screamed as she walked to the door, a few steps from reaching it. The moment she completed her sentence, a louder banger sounded which forced the door open and several men barged into the house. Kate was flustered and she squealed in fear. “Who are you people? How can you just barge into my house without permission? This is trespassing and you all are going to compensate for smashing my door.” She remarked conservatively in a high-pitched voice as she challenged the trespassers in rage. But, She suddenly became quiet when she heard a familiar voice. “Why are you exasperated, aunt Kate? We just followed your advice and realized that it was better to break the door instead of waiting for you to open it? Eric remarked with a wicked smile and he walked in

“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
