Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 78
Eva paused for a moment. She knew that Jason was clearly trying to guilt trip her and the consequences would be severe if she didn't comply with Jason 's request. This was supposed to be a reunion gathering but somehow it turned out that Jason became the main character of this event and was in control of everything. “I'm still waiting for you, Miss Carter.” Jason said. Eva was disgusted by the look in Jason's eyes but she had no choice but to put up with it. She grabbed the wine cup in front of her and was about to lift it up but her action was abruptly interrupted when the door of the room was pushed open. Everyone consciously turned her their gaze toward the entrance and they saw a man standing there with a blank expression on his face. Although many of them were unable to recognize the individual as this was her first time coming across this face. However, the save couldn't be said for both Eva and Amanda as they looked at Chris with a fluttered look The two ladies were

“Isn't that just an excuse for being a husband who leeches off his wife? It is illogical for a man to rely on his wife for financial support.” Patricia said, berating Chris and returned her attention back to Eva. “I think we no longer have to guess the reason why your wife has become a whore who uses her body to achieve her status.” she added in laughter. “Eva, I didn't expect that your standard in men was so low. You shouldn't have brought this trash to the gathering. We all have reputable backgrounds and your husband doesn't cut it to be seated amongst us so he must leave.” “Why? I didn't realize that such an outrageous rule was made for this gathering?” Eva retorted, barely managing to contain the anger as she was still very cautious of offending Jason. Patricia was also very aware of this fact and she was using this to her advantage to oppress Eva as much as she could. She knew that Jason had eyes for Eva and her plan was to humiliate Eva in order to make Jason lose his intre

“Why are you trying to stop her honey?! You don't have to be involved in insignificant matters.” Patricia said, sounding very confused. Jason glared at Patricia. In other words it was a sign of him telling her to shut up. “Actually, I was very offended by your words, Miss Carter. I would have no choice but to presume that you have hostile intentions towards me and the Landon family if you insist on leaving without settling this misunderstanding. I wonder if you are capable of handling the aftermath!” Jason had a sinister smile on his face as he spoke to Eva. “Offended you!....How?! …..I never had any intention of doing that, Mr Landon?” Eva muttered knowing fully well that Jason was shamelessly bullying her once again using his status. “Are you saying that I'm being unreasonable? Miss Carter, I’m only going easy on you today because it’s you. Otherwise, there’d be severe consequences if someone else disrespected me. Earlier, you refused to accept my toast. I let this matter

Seeing that Chris was still being disrespectful, Jason could no longer endure it. Moreover, it would definitely tarnish his public reputation if word got out that a piece of trash like Chris insulted him without facing the dire consequences of such atrocious behavior. “Evageline, I didn’t expect your husband to be so ignorant! How dare he threaten to break Mr. Landon’s limbs. “Exactly! Being so bold doesn’t do him any good though. I suggest that he apologizes to Mr. Landon now.” “I agree! He should know his place. Mr. Landon is a very influential figure in Brooklyn and your husband is worthy of cleaning his shoes.” “I also heard that the Landon family has quite a number of martial art experts. In the end your lowly husband will be the one who has his limbs broken.” Eva panicked after hearing the warning words of her classmates. “Mr. Landon, I will definitely lecture him about this when we get back so please don’t mind him.” Jason wanted to hit Chris directly but he could on

Patricia was excited when she heard that Jason had already called for the back up. She wanted to stir as much trouble as possible. “That’s good, honey. You should show them the consequences of looking down on you and the Landon family. I'm also going to use the opportunity to teach Eva. She just loves acting high and mighty, humiliating her will ruin her confidence and make her understand that I'm superior.” “No. You will not touch Evangeline Carter. I have special intentions for her.” A disgruntled expression appeared on Patricia’s face. “Why are you so obsessed with her? I saw how you have been looking at her ever since they arrived. You always say that you love me but I guess that's just a lie after all.” she accused. “What gave you the audacity to order me around? I don't have the obligation to explain my every action to you so you can leave if you can't stand it.” Jason lashed out at Patricia, his voice engulfed in anger. A dreadful feeling washed over Patricia as she

Amanda eyebrows furrowed deeply to form a displeased look on her face as she glared at the classmates blocking her path *What are you doing right now? Why are you trying to stop us from leaving?” She retorted in a furious tone. “It's not going to be that easy for you both to leave like this because there's something else you have to settle before leaving.” The classmates replied. Amanda became even more irritated. *You are spouting nonsense! I don't think I need your permission before leaving this place so move aside now.” She demanded. “You really are clueless, aren't you?Anyway we can't allow you to leave without settling the bill. It was Patricia who specifically chose this place as the venue for the gathering and she also promised to take responsibility for footing the bill but now that she has left we are going to have to pay for it ourselves. Surely, you don't expect us to pay for your share of the bill as well.” “Fine, I'll pay my own share.” Eva said, agreeing without any

The manager was completely unfazed. His demeanor remained calm In spite of the threatening words that were being hurled at him. “Do you intend to continue operating your hotel? Then you better have a good explanation for this situation and reasonable compensation.” The Class president remarked in a firm tone, still thinking they had the upper hand in this situation. After all, the manager would be in a desperate state to protect the image of the hotel. “Don't worry, sir. I'll look into it and find out where the problem lies.” The manager said in an assuring tone and proceeded to look at the bill as well. He raised his gaze a brief moment later. “Excuse me, sir, I think there has been a misunderstanding. There is actually nothing wrong with this bill.’ “I can't believe that you still have the cheek to lie. How could we have spent 47 million dollars within two hours?” “Sir, the prices of our hotel room service varies respectively based on the rank of service provided. It states

Hearing this, Amanda boiled in fury but she wasn't willing to back down from the challenge in order not to be shamed. “Alright, I'll do it. Eva and I are going to clear the bills for everything that was ordered.” She confidently announced. “Huh…What are you saying, Amy? How are we going to do that?” Eva muttered, feeling very uneasy. “It is unfair to make you pay for the bills alone so I've got twenty-eight million dollars in my credit card account. I'm willing to give it my all to support you.” She said, hoping that Eva would have enough money in her bank account. On the other hand, Eva’s situation was far worse than expected. “My credit card contains only two million dollars.” She said in a low voice, her face flushed red in embarrassment. The responsibility of taking care of her family expenses and her father's medical support has left a big hole in her savings. Moreover, the salary she received while working when Cross corporation was still under the control of the Carter fam

“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
