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

    Afterwards, the atmosphere was engulfed by the sound of loud laughter reigning inside the room. They found Chris word's tone utterly ridiculous as it was unbelievable that the live-in son in law of the Carter family would be able to afford twenty-five million dollars. Naturally, Amanda also had the same thought about Chris and she was even more disgusted by him. However, Eva was a little bit skeptical as she saw the firm expression on Chris' face but it was difficult for her to accept that he was capable of paying the bill. *You are being delusional. Do you expect us to believe that you can afford to pay forty seven million dollars?” “Of course, that's completely impossible. You won't be living as the Son-In-Law of the Carter family.” “That's right! You are just bluffing and nobody here is a fool that will prove it.” “I heard that you are just a lowly orphan that was pulled out from the street. You don't even deserve to be seated in the same room with elites like us.” “Haha, Chri

    87 Eva glanced at Chris in bewilderment as she wondered how he came to possess a blank card. “It's impossible! There's no way this loser would own such a rare item.” “I agree that it must be a fake black card. He is trying to fool everyone.” “That's right! There is nobody in Brooklyn wealthy enough to own a black card.” Everyone began smearing Chris with their disdainful comments. The manager glanced at Chris as he contemplated in his mind if Chris was a fraudster or secretly a rich man since one had to own a billion dollars in a saved account to have a black card. “Please sir, I would like you to come along with us to carry out the transaction.” The manager eventually proposed. His plan was to immediately have Chris arrested if it turns out that he was a fraudster. On the other hand, if the card was legit it also proves that Chris was actually a wealthy individual who was hiding his identity. It was an absurd assumption but that possibility couldn't be ruled out. “Is that re

    88 Chris nodded with a smile on his face and dialed up Elliot’s number. As soon as the call was connected he gave a brief explanation of his current situation. “What insolence?! They dare to challenge the Chairman of Pegasus Enterprise. I shall teach those impudent bastards a lesson right away.” Elliot roared with conviction. “Please tell me the name of the hotel," he demanded. “I think it's called Silvercrest hotel.” Chris responded, staring at the manager. “What?! Did I hear you just say Silvercrest hotel, sir?” “Yes, I did. Is there a problem?” “Umm…Our Pegasus Enterprise is also affiliated with that hotel sir. It was one of the few businesses I invested in after my take over as the CEO. I will give the manager a call right away.” “Oh! That makes this even much easier. I'll hang up the phone call now and let you deal with this.” Chris said. “Is that it? It seems like you have wasted the one chance to prove your innocence but you wasted it if you think I will be fooled by

    89 Amanda rolled her eyes in irritation. “Really?! Are you actually worried about that loser right now?” “But, we can't just leave him behind. He is trying to get us out of this situation.” “As if he wasn't the one who got us into it in the first place.” Amanda sharply retorted. “Look, as much as I can stand being in the presence of these hypocrites I must admit that some of the nonsense they are spouting from their mouth right now are true words. Consider his actions a sacrifice that would enable us to escape.” she added in order to convince Eva. “But….” “Gosh! I really hate you at times like this. We have to leave, so do it and don't think about anything else.” Amanda snapped in a low voice. Unfortunately, the door was suddenly pushed open when she was about to make a move. A group of vicious looking men with scars on their faces and tattoos on their body walked into the room while being escorted by both Patricia and Jason. Everyone was intrigued by this scenario. In their mi

A pleased smile appeared on Jason's face. “I have to admit that your beauty has been underrated with words. I don't understand why you are going as far as this for someone worthless like him but it works perfectly in my favor. I will help you get him out of this trouble if you're willing to spend the night with me.” he proposed straightforwardly without hesitation. “What are you saying?! I would never do such a degrading thing like that?” Eva’s facial expression distorted in a disgusting look as she instantly rejected Jason's proposal. “Mr. Landon, aren't you ashamed of making such a ridiculous request? How could you take a fancy to another woman despite the fact that Patricia is here.” “Why are you making a big deal out of it? It is not like I'm saying I want to get married to her. Moreover, I think it is a reasonable request in exchange for my assistance considering how

    91 “You damn bastard!” Another thug quickly yelled and charged towards Chris after seeing what happened to his colleague. Without saying a word, Chris swung his feet and struck his opponent in the chest. The force of the attack was so heavy that it caused the thug’s body to fly deeper into the room. Everyone was stunned when they saw what was happening. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Ignoring the stares, Chris walked closer to Eva and gently flicked the hair covering her face. “Are you hurt anywhere?” He asked, his voice was calm and enveloped in concerns. Eva was in a flustered state and she could only shake her head in response. “Good! That's a relief.” Chris said. “Stand behind me.” He instructed her before directing his attention back to Jason. Initially, he was trying to refrain from going to such lengths tonight but it couldn't be anymore since Jason had crossed the line by laying his hand on Eva. In fact, he was still suppressing himself from using his full strength

    However, Jason was still confident because he still had some trump cards. “Rhino, make sure you finish him off. I don't care if you kill him. I'll take care of the aftermath.” He said to the last remaining thugs standing behind him.Rhino was built with heavily packed muscle and was three times larger than the other thugs that Jason had brought along with him.He rarely fought because people were usually intimidated by his size and this made him Jason’s closest subordinate. Rhino didn’t waste any time after Jason’s order. He had a broad grin in his face as he immediately stepped forward to face Chris.Seeing the size of Chris' next opponent made Eva slightly worried about Chris. Although Chris had been doing well so far so good but she didn't know if he was capable of dealing with someone like Rhino, who even had a killing intent.“I must admit that you're really a good fighter. How come I have never heard about someone like you until now?” Rhino casually asked Chris with a smug smi

    Jason was starting to feel afraid.After all, even his most capable right-hand man couldn’t defeat Chris as he had hoped. He was now standing alone as all of his lackeys were not a match for Chris.They were called here to beat up Chris but they were the ones who ended up getting beaten up instead one-sidedly which was utterly embarrassing. The scene was quite messy and gruesome even though Chris tried to hold his strength back in order to avoid killing someone during the fight. It wasn't because he feared the consequences but it was going to be a hassle to deal with the aftermath laterSeeing that there was no one else to challenge him, Chris locked his gaze on Jason, glaring at him with a menacing expression on his face.Jason shuddered in fear and because Patricia was also standing very close to him, she also felt intimidated by the look on Chris' face.“You….You…. What are you thinking of doing?” Jason consciously moved back in as he stuttered. He was so scared that he started

    “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
