Nicholas glared at Gabriel as he retorted. “Don’t try to twist the fact, lad! You’re the one who stole my ring, and the evidence points to you! No need for further proof!”Fiona sighed in frustration. She was so worried about Gabriel. For some reason, she still believed that Gabriel hadn’t stolen Nicholas’s ring.“I’ve been kind enough to offer 100,000 dollars to anyone who finds my ring. But this man, Gabriel Bruhn, chose to keep the ring. Therefore, for his action, he must be held accountable!” he declared.“I won’t let you leave here until you kneel at my feet and apologize!” Nicholas continued, his command making everyone gasp.A smirk tugged at the corner of Thais’ lips. He was pleased that his best friend had successfully avenged him.Gabriel’s eyes widened, and his fists clenched tightly. He would never do what Nicholas ordered because he felt innocent.“No, I won’t do that!” Gabriel yelled, undeterred.“Shut up, you cleaner’s son! I was so kind to let you come to my party, but

Nicholas crossed his arms across his stomach as he retorted, cornering Gabriel. All eyes were on Nicholas and Gabriel. Whispers from every corner spread through the air, most of the guests curious about Gabriel's identity."Who is that man? He looks unfamiliar, but somehow he came to the party with Pevita Leroy.""I can't deny that he is very handsome, but he came to this party just to get caught as a thief.""Did he come here with Pevita Leroy? I mean, can he pass through the entrance with her invitation, or does he have his own invitation here?""This is so embarrassing. How could someone with the mentality of a thief come to this party?"Nicholas only invited wealthy people, and most of them knew each other. If they didn't recognize the figure themselves, surely one of their friends did. As for Gabriel, they had no clue who he was."Everyone at this party saw that my ring was inside your blazer. That means you took it. How can you still have the audacity to say you didn't?" Nichola

In the middle of the dance, the announcement echoed again, making everyone fall silent and listen to what the announcement was about to say.“Ladies and gentlemen, we ask for your understanding regarding this matter. This ring is a Holtam family's ring and is very valuable, so we will be conducting a further search. We request permission to search your bags and pockets, and our staff will search you individually. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we have no other choice.”“Please don’t take this action as a sign that we are accusing you. We never had such thoughts.”Everyone exchanged glances as whispers were echoed through the air.“This is a bit rude, but it seems Nicholas had no other choice.”“Do you think someone found the ring and deliberately hid it?”“If the ring really was in someone’s bag or pocket, then that person must have been very panicked and nervous.”Pevita frowned and looked at Gabriel. “Wow, they really did everything for this ring. Do you think there is some

Gabriel smiled and teased Pevita. "It seems Nicholas Holtam has special feelings for you."Her eyes widened, and she stared at Gabriel, shaking her head, dismissing his suspicion. "No, he isn't!" Her eyes showed her unwillingness for Gabriel to think so, as Pevita secretly had special feelings for Gabriel instead of Nicholas Holtam.Music echoed throughout the yacht, and under the spotlights, the guests began dancing to the rhythm.Nicholas had his eyes set on Pevita. As he approached her to ask her to dance, he saw Gabriel had already asked her first.Nicholas's hands clenched tightly as his eyes darkened. "How dare he!"Just as Gabriel was about to touch Pevita's hand and was about to dance, his gaze caught Nicholas standing there, staring at him.Gabriel's eyes widened, and he let go of Pevita's hand. As he was about to speak to Nicholas, the man had already turned and left."What's wrong, Gabriel?" Pevita asked, turning to where Gabriel was staring. Nicholas had disappeared from t

Gabriel accepted the waitress's offer. He took off his suit blazer and handed it to her. The cleaner arrived and quickly cleaned up the broken, shattered glasses.At the same time, Alexis Blaise and Fiona Laurent arrived in the main party area. Seeing the new guests, Nicholas moved to greet them."Alexis, thank you for showing up at my birthday party," Nicholas said, shaking his hand and then hugging him.Alexis returned Nicholas's handshake. Nicholas's gaze shifted to Fiona, and with a respectful gesture, he extended his hand to shake hers."You must be Alexis' woman. You look so elegant, lady," he complimented her.Fiona let out a soft smile. "Thank you, Nicholas."Nicholas gestured with his hand to ask the waiter to bring two glasses of wine for Alexis and Fiona.As the wine glass was about to touch his lips, Alexis caught a familiar face in his sight. He lowered his glass slightly, resisting the urge to take a sip.He frowned as he stared intently at the person. Fiona noticed Alex

"Are they in a relationship?" Nicholas muttered to himself.His feet stepped toward them, and when Pevita caught Nicholas in her gaze, she flashed a wide smile."Nicholas Holtam, happy birthday to you!" Pevita spoke, extending her hand for a handshake.Nicholas smiled as he returned the handshake, but his eyes briefly glanced at Gabriel."Thank you so much for coming to my party, Pevita. I didn't expect you to come," he stated with a slight chuckle."You are such a good friend, Nicholas, and no way would I miss my friend's birthday party," Pevita replied.Pevita and Nicholas had been friends for a year. They met at a government event and had become close friends ever since. Pevita's charm and beauty made Nicholas gradually fall in love with her, although Pevita still considered him just a friend.As Nicholas's special guest, he had offered Pevita transportation from Valmont City and accommodation as well. However, Pevita politely declined the offer, preferring not to receive such spec

Arnold was taken aback seeing his grandmother’s presence. The old woman arrived there with Charles and her secret guards.“Grandma, I have asked you to wait at home. It’s too dangerous,” Arnold exclaimed worriedly.Elizabeth ignored her grandson. Her gaze was focused on William. “William, answer me! What did you do to her? Let her go!” she demanded.William smirked. “Elizabeth, nice to see you, cousin.”Arnold’s jaw dropped. “Cousin? What?”“I don’t understand why you did this to us. You suddenly left the Winster family and disappeared for more than 2 decades. But now you reappear in our lives and kidnap my grandson's girlfriend,” Elizabeth asked in surprise.A mix of anger and revenge in William’s eyes. “I just want to see your grandson suffer. By watching his girlfriend die, it’s the same as killing him slowly.”Elizabeth’s eyes were filled with tears of anger. “William, without you doing that, my grandson has suffered for almost his entire life. All this time he was missing and eve

Arnold stopped his car in front of a building. He was sure he had arrived at the address that appeared during the search process earlier."Be ready boys!" said Arnold looking at Alastair and Carlos.The two men nodded with bulletproof vests and pistols ready to protect them.Not only them, but Charles was also in the car. Arnold told Charles to stay in the car to keep watch.Arnold, Alastair, and Carlos alighted from the car and rushed into the building area by climbing the fence.As the first bodyguard of the Winster family, Carlos showed his abilities by leading this journey. He jumped the fence first and managed to enter the building area.The second person to climb the fence was Alastair. The two bodyguards had to ensure safety first before letting their master enter the area.After Alastair successfully landed, they observed the surroundings before letting Arnold climb the fence."You can go up now, young master. We will help you," said Carlos.Wasting no time, Arnold immediately

The first search process carried out by Charles was by using the kidnapper's car license number. He accessed a secret website, where the website could display information from the location of a vehicle just by typing the car license number.To be able to access the website, someone must have a special license that will not be given to just anyone. Charles, who was experienced as an assistant to rich people, has access to the website.Arnold sat next to Charles to see the search results. Charles typed the car license number, and in seconds information appeared on his laptop screen."Oh God, this person is someone with great power, so location information based on the car plate of his vehicle cannot be accessed. This also applies to the Winster family, sir," said Charles."Then, can you use another method to track their whereabouts?" Arnold asked hopefully."I'll try with Angela's phone number."Because Angela's number is inactive, the search process will take longer because to see the

Seven days later.“See you tomorrow!” Angela waved her hand to her coworkers as they left their workplace.She exited the office building and walked toward the edge of the highway. As she looked around, she received a call from Arnold.A bright smile was etched on her face. She eagerly accepted the call.“Hi, my dear. Where are you now?” Arnold asked a second after the call connected.“I just got out of the building. After this I will order a taxi to take me home,” Angela replied.With concern, Arnold offered. “How about I pick you up and take you home?”She shook her head, although Arnold could not see her gesture directly. “Thank you, babe, but I can go home by myself.”“But—”“Don’t worry, babe. I’ll be fine, trust me,” Angela assured.“If you say so, then I trust you, honey.”“Good.”“My dear, I want to invite you to have dinner with my grandmother. She is in New York right now,” Arnold invited.Angela couldn’t contain her excitement. She felt like jumping up and down with joy. Sh

Rachel’s jaw dropped. She still couldn’t believe what she saw. She looked at her phone screen to make sure the number was calling her.“It’s my mysterious investor’s number. But why?” Rachel exclaimed while rubbing her head in frustration.Arnold smirked. He brought his phone to his mouth. “Why are you so surprised, Ms. Rachel Aderwin? What do you expect from this mysterious figure?”“No way!” Rachel ended the call that very second.She stared at Arnold with a sharp gaze. “Don’t try to fool me, Arnold! This can’t be real! You must be using a trick and trying to pretend to be my investor,” she accused.Arnold chuckled. “Why would I do that? Why would I trick you?”Rachel took a deep breath. She still couldn’t process what was happening here.Arnold’s gaze shifted to his phone, and he seemed to be typing a message.“Just wait and see, Miss Aderwin. You will see the truth,” Arnold said as he smiled slyly.“What are you going to do?” Rachel exclaimed as her eyes darkened.An incoming call

Rachel tried to contact customer service from another bank, but they said the same thing. A powerful figure had blocked her bank accounts.She, who had originally planned to explore new places, ended up returning to her hotel room. Rachel couldn't hold back her sadness. Tears streamed down her cheeks.The hotel room she booked was only valid until tomorrow afternoon, so if she couldn't pay for the hotel, she would be homeless tomorrow.Resigned to her situation, Rachel decided to stream on BeYou. It only took a few minutes for viewers to flock to her stream.In front of her cellphone screen, Rachel just cried and didn't say anything. This made the viewers puzzled.@tylaaa: What happened to our Rachel? Why is she crying?@Giiii: Maybe something bad happened there. Oh, poor girl.@huns77: Tell us what happened to you.The viewers started showering her with gifts. They hoped that those gifts would make her mood become lighter.Rachel wiped her tears and started talking. "Thank you so muc

Leon and Jane come to Havelock to meet Elena's parents. When they got there, they saw, from a distance, Elena's parents, who were busy moving their belongings into a car.“Leon, are they Elena's parents?” Jane asked."Yes, they are Elena's parents."Jane frowned at them. It seemed like they wanted to move, considering the large suitcases they were moving into the car.“Jane, this way!” Leon grabbed Jane's hand and asked her to go through the back lane of the house because they didn't want Elena's parents to see them coming.“Hurry Renee! The sooner we leave, the happier we will be," said Joe, looking intently at his wife, who was moving a box into the car.Renee took a deep breath as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. “I'm so tired, Joe. Are you sure to leave here?” She looked at her house with teary eyes. “This house holds a lot of memories.”“If we don't leave soon, then we'll still be dealing with Leon. I want to live in peace, especially since we already have a lot of money an

Dean was at his parents' house. Because his parents decided to live in the United States, the house was his. He was at the dining table, enjoying his breakfast.While he was spreading peanut butter on his bread, a maid suddenly came to him."Good morning, master," said the maid with a little bow. "What's the matter?" Dean responded."Mr. Rexa has just arrived, sir."Dean gasped. What's more, his father just moved to the United States a few days ago. Why did he suddenly fly to New Zealand?“He is here?”"Yes sir. He—" Before the maid had finished her words, Rexa's arrival diverted their gaze.“Father.” Dean immediately got up from his seat.“No need to be surprised. I flew here suddenly because I had business to finish," said Rexa as he poured juice into his glass and then drank it.“I've handled everything, Father. So I don't think you need to come here suddenly like this," replied Dean, crossing his arms over his stomach.Rexa was silent and did not reply to his son's words.“Then w

“Belinda, what happened?” William approached Belinda, and Dean moved away from her.William stared sharply at Dean, as if suspicious of him.“There's a group of men with guns, sir. We don't know who they are, but suddenly they came into this room and shot Mrs. Belinda," explained one of Belinda's assistants. William's gaze turned towards her.“That's right, sir,” another assistant chimed in.William was silent for a moment. Seeing that no one else had been shot made him believe that the group of men wanted to attack his family.“Quickly take Belinda to the hospital! She must get medical help before it's too late," William ordered his subordinates. They immediately took Belinda away from there.The police came out of the room to immediately find out the whereabouts of the group of men. Everyone left the room, except William and Dean.Dean stepped forward, and when he reached the doorway, William spoke to him."Aren't you the son of Rexa Romano? What are you doing here?" William asked D

The sound of the cell phone ringing distracted Leon's gaze. The man immediately took his cell phone from his pocket and accepted the call. He got a call from his subordinate.“Good afternoon, young master. There is something we want to tell you.”"What is that?" Leon's eyebrows knitted together, showing that he was curious about what his subordinate wanted to tell him.“We just arrived at the house that Mrs. Elena's parents rented, but they are no longer here. The home owner said they just left a few days ago.”The man's words surprised Leon. "What?" Leon got up from his seat and dropped the newspaper he was holding.“That's right, sir. Didn't they tell you they were leaving?”“No, they didn't say anything. Quickly find out why they suddenly left there. I'm sure they must be hiding something.”"Yes sir."Call ended.Leon immediately checked Elena's parents' number and tried to contact them. The number could be contacted, but Elena's parents did not receive the call.***Dean was sitti

“Who is her father? Have I ever met him?” Dean's brows furrowed even more when he heard his uncle's words."He was at the same event with you; you just didn't realize it," Finley replied.Dean took a deep breath. He was about to leave there, but Finley held him back.“Wait, Dean! Don't go!"“What, Uncle? I don't want to know anyone now. I just want to focus on my company," said Dean in an annoyed tone.“But this is a great opportunity. If you can marry her, our family's power will increase.” Finley kept trying to convince Dean, hoping his nephew would change his mind.Dean shook his head. “No, Uncle. I'm not interested in that.” He immediately left there without paying attention to Finley.“This is absolutely ridiculous! He tried to match me with many girls, but he himself chose not to marry. Sometimes I wonder about my own family," Dean continued to mutter as he got into his car."Dean, wait!" Finley shouted as he ran towards Dean.Dean rolled his eyes as he took a deep breath when h

"So you will stay here?" Rexa looked at Dean with a cold gaze.Dean nodded. “Yes, Father. I will still be here. I also prefer to be in New Zealand instead of another country."Rexa's gaze turned to Juliet. "Even if Dean doesn't go along with us, we will still move there," he said in a tone that didn't want to be rejected."Okay, I'll go with you." Juliet agreed to her husband's decision.Rexa took his cell phone and asked his assistant to arrange his move to the United States. Because Dean didn't move there, Rexa handed over all responsibility to his son. What's more, Dean was the heir of the Romano family. Rexa and Juliet will move to the United States next week.***Today Leon was allowed to go home. But up to this moment, Elena still hasn't woken up from her coma. Leon came to Elena's room to see his wife. The woman was lying with her face looking beautiful."It's been almost 2 weeks since Mrs. Elena has been in a coma, young master," said Michael, who was standing next to Leon.Le
