Robert's facial expression turned sour as he was utterly displeased that Sarah was able to see right through his facade without much difficulty. She had always been sharp witted but he expected that her sense of reasoning would be clouded by the excitement of being given a chance to return back to t

At this moment, Robert was only concerned about forming a successful collaboration with Ace Enterprise more than paying attention to his kinship.“Thank you, Father. I'm glad you finally understood what I was talking about earlier. As you can see, there's no need for us elites to mingle with the low

Theodore hurriedly used the clues he had gathered and was able to realize that everything happening right now was Thomas’s idea. It occurred to him that Thomas must have made some sort of deal with Robert to allow Sarah to become an Anderson again in exchange for her helping the family establish a c

Meanwhile, Ryan was utterly disgusted by Sarah's remark and concluded that he was being arrogant considering her lowly status. As a result he was unable to refrain himself from lashing at her in a stern voice despite Robert's warnings. “You are just an ungrateful bitch, Sarah. This family has rules

“I don't know how you were able to pull it off but one thing is surely clear and that's the fact Miss. Evans must be really treating you well if you are able to afford such a lovely dress and luxury car.” Thomas commented in a flattering tone as he made the assumption that Sarah could only afford to

They could grumble and glare at S

“Grandfather, you can't let them do this to me. I'm your beloved grandson and I don't deserve to be treated in such a manner…..say something.” Eric cried to Benjamin in desperation.“Shut the hell up you fool! Why did you commit such a heinous crime? You didn't even consult me before carrying that stupid plan. How could you be so foolish?” Benjamin roared at Eric in Carter. It was true that he Cherished Eric but this was out of his hands.At this point it was either he chose Eric was nothing more than a liability or Eva who held the future of the Carter family. There was no way that he would jeopardize the Carter family's future.“Grandfather, I was doing it for us. This witch was going to ruin the family. Are you going to let her and those lowly bastards take over the reins of running the family?”Benjamin abruptly stood up from his seat and rushed to Eric, hitting him with his wooden cane. “I told you to shut up, fool! Eva is your older cousin and she has as much right to become the

“It's already clear to me that many of you aren't dissatisfied with me taking this position. Thankfully everyone is here and this is a perfect setting to cast a vote so let's get this over with right now.” Eva challenged the entire Carter familyEveryone was both stunning and speechless at Eva's strong and bold provocation. They were clearly at the disadvantage here because casting out Eva from the matriarch position would be throwing away all the benefits they could obtain from cross corporation.On the other hand, leaving her as matriarch meant they would no longer have the right to question her judgement or authority. It was clear that they had walked into her trap.Many of them were in disbelief as they were trying to wrap.their heads around how Eva could change so much. In the past they had always used similar tactics to manipulate and take advantage of her but now…..this was karmaChris sat across from her, arms folded, a forced smirk on his face.Benjamin spent several minute

Two Days Later — The Carter VillaThe news that Cross Corporation was no longer a subsidiary of Pegasus Enterprise and Eva's appointment as the new chairwoman of Cross Corporation were the most trending topics.Although Cross Corporation was now independent, the company was still in a very strong alliance with Pegasus Enterprise and this was a boost to its economic value.

Considering the latest scandal involving Eric which had plummeted the family reputation this news was like a lottery win.With the rapid rise of Cross Corporation, the Carters family could boldly reclaim their long lost position as a second tier elite family once again. This was a status that they had lost due to several poor management decisions and scandalous events.The greedy

Eva was even more baffled at the words Elliot uttered. She helplessly glanced at Chris who was unbothered and had clearly had no intention of intervening.She signed and collected the parcel from Elliot. “Thank you, sir.”“No, ma'am. You don't have to speak to me so formally so just address me as Elliot. I'm here to serve you as my superior.” Elliot said.Eva was even more perplexed “Enjoy your meal, ma'am.” Elliot said before walking away and Eva could only just watch his back until he left the room.With any further delay, Eva tore open the parcel and inside it were several pieces of documents. She pulled out the document and a calm facial expression instantly transformed to a shocked look.She held the folder with trembling hands, scanning the legal documents. Her name was on every line. Her name… and no longer Pegasus Enterprise or the Carter family.The documents contained information of Pegasus Enterprise relinquishing its control over Cross Corporation. All the shares owned b

Silence settled between them like a velvet curtain. Eva’s eyes scanned the room again, her voice low. “This ship… it’s the Aurora. You rented out the entire cruise line?”Chris gave a faint smile. “Only for tonight.”She shook her head in disbelief. “Chris… This is insane. Extravagant. This can’t be real.”“It’s very real,” he said. “I wanted to give you a memory that would last forever. A moment that no one else could take from you. You've been through so much in the past couple of years so I wanted to do something special for you today.”Eva stared down at her plate. Her heart felt too large for her chest and she couldn't fight back the tears in her eyes. Thinking about everything again, she couldn't help but feel indebted to Chris once again and she wondered how she could have been so blind to see how marvelous he was all this time.Chris was always putting her and her needs before anything else. Eva realized that she had robbed herself of many exhilarating moments and happy memori

“What?...How did you get these?” Eva asked in surprise.“Did you forget that I'm a supermodel and I have a connection?” Amanda bragged. “I’m telling you,” Amanda said, tossing a wrapped chocolate into her mouth. “since it's happening this evening on your birthday I thought it was a good way to spend a girl's night out.”Eva arched a brow, barely glancing up from the shareholder reports. “Amanda, I’m dealing with a full-blown corporate restructuring. A public scandal. A recovering mother. A new CEO position. I can’t exactly waltz onto a cruise ship right now and pretend to be the belle of the ball.”Amanda grinned. “Oh, but that’s where you’re wrong. You have always been the belle of the ball at every event.”Eva gave her a side glance. “I have nothing to wear.”“You have everything to wear,” Amanda fired back, stepping to the closet behind Eva’s desk and retrieving a familiar garment bag. “Here this for you?”Eva hesitated, then took the bag and opened it slowly.It was the midnight
