Soon, the security guard emerged and signaled Benjamin to proceed inside. Benjamin nodded in acknowledgment and made his way into the building.Inside, he was directed to the manager's office, expecting to encounter a man in charge. However, to his surprise, he found himself facing a woman, elegant and poised, with an air of authority that belied her age.As Benjamin settled into the chair offered to him, the manager fixed him with a scrutinizing gaze before speaking. "I heard you brought quite a number of men with you, to intimidate us?" she remarked. Benjamin chuckled lightly, brushing off the insinuation. "I'm Benjamin Hayes," he introduced himself, choosing not to dignify the implication with a response. "I came here for something."The manager arched an eyebrow, intrigued by Benjamin's presence. "What might that be?" she inquired, her demeanor guarded yet curious."I heard your organization hosts parties, and tonight's Excellence Baller Party is being hosted by you," Benjamin ex

As Raymond and Shulamite got down, all eyes were on them. Although everyone there was rich, most were aware the Hansen family were also very rich. Most of the guys were stealing glances at Shulamite who looked very beautiful too. Raymond scanned the elegant surroundings with a confident smile, his eyes flickering as he sought out familiar faces in the crowd. Yet, despite his best efforts, Cordelia's presence remained elusive, prompting a subtle furrow of his brow.Clearing his throat, he addressed those nearby, his tone laced with curiosity. "The Winslows aren't here yet?”A voice responded from the periphery, echoing Raymond's query. "Not yet. They are the last, I guess we should be waiting for."Accepting the explanation with a nod, Raymond settled into a nearby seat at the round table, his posture exuding a composed assurance even as he continued to cast occasional glances around the room. Shulamite, accompanying

Raymond at that time wanted to speak making claims of Cordelia being his girlfriend, but he was afraid she might shut him which would bring disgrace so he didn't say a word. As Cordelia received praise and attention from the guests, Rose struggled to conceal her envy behind a forced smile. Her eyes betrayed her true feelings, flickering with jealousy and frustration. Cordelia's confident assertion of her status as the eldest mistress of the Winslow family struck a nerve with Rose.Internally, Rose seethed with resentment. She had hoped to assert her own status during the introductions, but Cordelia's confident declaration stole her thunder.Raymond at that time wanted to speak making claims of Cordelia being his girlfriend, but he was afraid she might shut him which would bring disgrace so he didn't say a word.

The woman cleared her throat to gather everyone's attention before speaking. "Everyone, meet our last guest, Mr. Benjamin Hayes," she announced, stepping aside to reveal Benjamin's face clearly.A gulp echoed in the room as Cordelia raised her eyebrow instantly and turned her gaze towards Benjamin. What she saw made her heart race and her mind whirl with confusion. It was Benjamin, but how? He was in Elysian, also in a coma. Could it be an illusion?At the same moment, Benjamin's eyes met Cordelia's, and he couldn't help but smile. Everything about her seemed perfect, from her dress to the watch he had given her."Cordelia?" Benjamin heard her call out, as if to confirm whether he was real or just a figment of her imagination."Hello, Ms. Winslow," Benjamin greeted softly.Cordelia's mind reeled as she struggled to comprehend the reality before her. "Oh my God," she murmured, feeling overwhelmed. She rubbed her eyes, hoping it was all just a dream.But Benjamin reassured her with a ge

Cordelia took a deep breath, her mind still reeling from Benjamin's gesture. As the woman took charge, she began the process of revealing each participant's financial standing. "Let's start with Alexander Johansen," she announced, prompting Alexander to speak up."In my savings account, I have an amount of $2.5 million," Alexander declared confidently, raising his phone to display the balance for everyone to see.The gathered guests glanced at the screen, acknowledging Alexander's declared wealth with nods of approval.Next in line was Isabella Nordstrom, who smiled as she shared her own financial status. "I have a whopping $3 million here," Isabella announced proudly, lifting her phone to showcase her balance to the group.Once again, the guests directed their attention to the screen, taking note of Isabella's substantial wealth.Raymond couldn't resist a jab, turning to Alexander with a mocking tone. "Looks like a lady has more money in her account than you," he remarked, his words
