With the arrival of Chairman Chen, the house was lit up and filled with people. It had been a while since friends and colleagues visited the estate. Victor had invited everyone to make sure they got to meet his soon-to-be in-laws. He was even daring enough to invite James and his whole family. Of course, his brother was not there as he was still locked up. What made the night even more exciting was the fact that he teased them into asking where his brother was. "My, I haven't seen your brother lately?" Victor inquired, wondering how the family would react. "Well, he has been busy lately," James replied annoyed, staring directly into Victor's eyes. He was all fired up and wanted to punch the man right in front of everyone to teach him a lesson for messing with him. However, lately, the man had been one step ahead of him. Even without proof, James knew the man was involved with everything. "Ah, I was hoping to introduce my in-laws. Your brother was pushing your sister on me last time,
A few days later, Sophia decided to head home first. She explained to them that something had happened to her mother. Charles didn't buy her excuse but remained silent. Madam Chen was concerned as she felt that Sophia was drifting away from them. "Charles, what have you done?" Madam Chen scolded her son in front of her husband. "Say something?" "What do you want me to say? It's not as if I can force him to do what we want. He's a grown man." Chairman Chen angrily said, aware of what his son had done. But, they couldn't control his decisions. Frankly, he felt disappointed with his son for cheating on Sophia. If he wanted to cheat so badly, he should have kept it a secret, but he deliberately showed it to everyone and seemed proud of it. "Mother, enough. Leave Sophia be." Charles was not in the mood to argue with his mother when he was tired from all the activities. He had been going out with everyone early in the morning and returning home drunk most nights. He had been busy establis
Sophia ran quickly and went to look for her mother, who was in her room. She dared not knock and slammed the door right open, eager to know the answer to her question. She shut the door tightly in case anyone would come in unannounced. "How can I terminate this?" Sophia grabbed her mother, who was busy brushing her long beautiful hair while facing the mirror. "Hmm, I don't know. As you can see, I have you," she replied, focusing on her hair rather than her daughter's worries. "What do you mean? Answer me!" Sophia was angry as she grabbed the brush from her mother's hands and threw it away. She turned her mother around to face her. Her mother got up, looked her daughter in the eyes, and answered, "You are keeping the bloodline in you. Why should he let it be terminated?" "WHAT? BLOODLINE?" Sophia was in shock and almost collapsed to know the reason why she can't terminate the seed inside her. "As you can see, your uncle is busy keeping to himself," she replied mockingly, knowing t
No news of what Sophia did spread, despite Charles being aware of her actions. His plan had worked, but he couldn't keep everything together. If only he had kept Sophia by his side, everything would have gone according to his plans. Now, he had no choice but to let her go. It was impossible for them to sleep with each other now that Sophia knew what he was planning to do. "Brother, is something wrong?" Megan inquired during breakfast, noticing Charles had been absent-minded since they arrived. "Nothing, I was just thinking about what to give you as a present for your engagement," Charles said with a forced joyful smile. In reality, he was preoccupied with how to solve the problem between him and Sophia. He worried that Sophia might still try to win him over, especially since Megan was not yet officially Mrs. Augustine. "That's right, we have gotten you a present," Madam Chen chimed in cheerfully, enjoying the attention from numerous calls she had received since their arrival, asking
Antonia had been held captive in the man's home for days. Despite seeking help from the man's friend, they couldn't intervene and only advised her to be patient since they were uncertain about the man's intentions. "Frankly, it's best if you stay here. We don't know what might happen," they told her. "What do you mean? What will happen?" Antonia pressed for answers, but they remained elusive. She tried to talk to the man and convince him to let her out to visit her friends, but he remained stubborn, turning his back on her each time she made excuses. "Aug, if you want me to be locked up here, then tell me why? What's the big danger if I go out?" Antonia asked in frustration. The situation had changed, and the plan she had with her family to get close to the man was now over, so she believed she was no longer a threat. "F*CK! I'll tell you the truth, just let me go," she exclaimed. Victor looked at her seriously, seeing her reaction and knowing that she was aware he was also aware
A day before the celebration, Victor took Megan out around the city to spend time together. However, during their outing, Victor appeared absent-minded and accidentally bumped into someone. Luckily, the person didn't mind as he was on the phone and couldn't avoid the collision. Megan felt awkward due to the presence of numerous paparazzi watching them. She hadn't experienced such intense scrutiny since her time as a celebrity. "Is something wrong?" Victor asked, noticing Megan's bothered expression. Megan hesitated to reply, feeling uneasy about the situation and worried that Victor might be upset with her if she said something. "Don't worry, none of them would dare post something like that. If they do, I don't mind," Victor reassured her. Megan could only manage a shy smile, realizing that Victor's support meant more to her than any public opinion. She decided not to worry about any negative attention as she was marrying him after all. Curious about her expression, Victor asked,
Victor has been feeling confused lately because of all the words Watcher has been telling him. The anxiousness in his heart has left him like a wandering ghost, unsure of what to do. "Master, you have a call," the butler announced. As Victor was heading upstairs, the butler called him and handed him the house phone. It made him curious who the person could be as the butler said nothing. "Hello?" he said without asking who the person on the other line could be, as he would be able to distinguish who it was once they spoke. "Aug, finally. I was worried that something had happened." It was Megan whose voice sounded excited that he had finally answered her call. Since he left his phone in his room, the girl must have called him numerous times and ended up calling the house worried sick. "Sorry, I left my phone in my room and went to get some food," Victor explained. "No problem at all, I was just saying brother will be there soon to deliver the suit for you," Megan replied without fu
"They think you were Megan's father," Madam Chen explained everything to them, and as things were made clear, she looked shocked by how the man reacted. "What's so funny?" "Why did you even send my brother into an asylum? He isn't some crazy b*stard. All you needed to do was give him money, then he'd be quiet," Shen Chen said, which was indeed the right answer to their problem. However, it was obvious that the family was obsessed with money and didn't dare to share it with anyone. "Father, please…" Mei said, trying to ease the tension in the room. She was now pregnant with Chen's child, and if things didn't go well for Megan, her future would be ruined as well. Madam Chen was stunned to see how calm Mei was. She was beautiful like Sophia, but the only thing lacking was her connection and power. Mei may have money and all, but her connections and power belonged on the other side. A power they would not use at all. "Is something wrong, mother?" Charles asked, noticing how his mother
