While Gabriel and Natalie were chatting, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen and frowned when she realized it was none other than her father.Natalie was momentarily silent, her emotions mixed, and she wasn't glad about the call.Gabriel furrowed his brows, curious as to who was calling Natalie, so she let her phone ring. Natalie didn't answer the first call. Mr. Rumwhite persisted and called Natalie again; she finally accepted the call."Natalie, where are you now?" Mr. Rumwhite asked a second after the call connected.Natalie gulped harshly, worry forming on her face. She paused for a moment, then answered with a nervous expression, though her voice was steady. "I'm having lunch at a restaurant right now. What's the matter, Dad?""I'll have dinner with our business partner tonight. I'd love for you to join me," Mr. Rumwhite invited.Natalie rolled her eyes and sighed. She wasn't in the mood for going out tonight, let alone meeting someone as important as their busines

Mr. Rumwhite had just finished typing a command message to his servant when a call suddenly popped up on his phone screen. It was none other than the general manager of The Rumwhite Group.Mr. Rumwhite could sense something bad coming with the call. He was cautious not to be surprised by the news the general manager was about to deliver as he accepted the call."Good afternoon, Mr. Rumwhite. I have something to tell you." The general manager's voice sounded authoritative, but he trembled slightly, indicating the weight of the news he was carrying.Mr. Rumwhite took a breath, then responded, "You can tell.""Sir, The Rumwhite Group is currently facing a crisis because several of our business partners have decided to terminate their partnerships due to various factors, one of which is performance that has not met their expectations. This has caused our company significant losses and required a capital injection to survive. The company's situation is getting worse by the day," explained

The young lady was taken aback when she saw the notification that popped up on her phone screen. Her gaze fell to Gabriel, tears welling up in her eyes. She was about to kneel down to thank him, but he swiftly stopped her."What are you doing? You don't have to do something like that," Gabriel stated as he held her shoulder.Tears streamed down her cheeks as she thanked Gabriel. Natalie stared at the scene before her, touched by Gabriel's kindness. She had made the right choice in bringing him to the auction.Natalie and the Rumwhite family were very selective in choosing friends, let alone partners, so Natalie didn't get close to anyone carelessly.After the hospital matter was over, Gabriel and Natalie left. Gabriel and Natalie returned to the boutique to pick up Natalie's car, and then they went to a bag store to collect the bag that Natalie had ordered. They drove off in their respective cars.As Gabriel stepped out from the bag store and stood in front of the entrance, he suddenl

“Please, don’t fire me, director! I can explain this. It’s not what you think.” The doctor tried to persuade the hospital director to listen to his explanation.The director firmly stated, “The more you spout nonsense, the more I’ll make you lose your job everywhere. I’ll make every hospital close down for you!”The doctor trembled in disbelief. Words slipped out of his mouth in a weak voice. “No, director. I’ll stop defending myself. Fine, I’ll accept this dismissal.” It would be better for him to lose his job at this hospital than to lose all opportunities in the entire hospital.The director of The Haven Hospital possessed power and connections that could literally cost the doctor his livelihood or even his title as a doctor.The director simply nodded, even though the doctor couldn’t see his gesture directly. Then he immediately disconnected the call.“Director! Director!” he exclaimed frantically, looking at his phone screen, which indicated the call had ended.He sighed in frust

Gabriel twisted the doctor's hand harder, making him scream in agony. Then he released his grip and pushed him to the floor. Meanwhile, the nurse ran out of the room to call security guards.The doctor's eyes darkened with anger. He got up on his feet as he glared at Gabriel. "Security will be here soon and drag you out of here!" he shouted, a smirk playing on the corner of his lips.Gabriel huffed, showing his fearlessness. His gaze focused on the name tag on the doctor's white coat. "Emil? So your name is Emil?"The doctor, named Emil, visibly startled when Gabriel called his name without including his medical title. He was upset and offended. "My name is Dr. Emil Jensen! You better call me by my name properly!" he replied in a firm tone.Gabriel grinned when he heard the doctor say his full name. The name tag had only been listed as his first name. This would make it easier for Gabriel to report him. "Well, your medical title will soon be gone," he responded as he let out a mocking

The saleslady, who overheard the conversation between the doctor and nurse, looked sad. If her mother were to be discharged from this hospital, her mom's chances of survival would be even slimmer. Her mother was all she had in this world, so she was willing to steal Natalie's dress to get money for her mother's treatment. She was willing to do anything to keep her mother by her side.Seeing the saleslady's pale face, Natalie approached her and put her arm around her. She rubbed her shoulders as she reassured her. "Don't worry, Gabriel will help you. Your mother will remain in this hospital and will be fine," she assured her.The saleslady nodded as tears welled in her eyes. They stepped into the room and were met with a scornful look from the doctor.The doctor looked at Gabriel and Natalie in turn. His gaze shifted to the saleslady as he spoke in a firm tone. "Since you can't pay the hospital bills, we'll have to discharge your mother now!"The saleslady shook her head and cupped her

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
