Emilia felt utterly lost, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on her shoulders. With a resigned sigh, she slipped the report back into her pocket, her mind racing with desperation."If you won't see reason," she choked out, tears clouding her vision, "I'll have no choice but to take them to Royal Hospital."With trembling hands, Emilia rose from the floor, her movements hesitant as she approached the doctor."It'll only cost me two hundred dollars to transfer them," she pleaded, retrieving her purse from her pocket.Counting out five hundred dollars, she thrust the money towards the doctor, her voice thick with bitterness."Take it," she spat, her anger boiling over, "and use the rest to stroke your ego."With a sharp hiss of frustration, Emilia turned away, her gaze falling on Raymond as she checked the time. Ten minutes remained, each second ticking away relentlessly.With a heavy heart, she cast one last glance at the doctor, her hope fading with each passing moment.Emilia's w

It was no other than Tina. Ethan spotted Tina, his ex-wife, in a fancy dress. He smiled softly, then glanced at Angela, who sat beside him."What's up?" Angela asked, her face showing concern."Just fine, dear. Nothing to worry about," Ethan replied, smiling again.Suddenly, a voice came through the microphone."Thanks for joining us at the Miretti family's business ceremony. Our topic this time is 'Success in Business in Hard Times.' Usually, it's three days long, but we've shortened it to just today and tomorrow," the speaker announced.With no other seats available, Tina gracefully settled beside Ethan. As she sat, Ethan glanced at her."Hello, loser," Tina greeted, waving her hands. "Is this your new lover?"Ethan remained silent, but Angela overheard. She smiled and addressed Tina."You're quite the comedian, young lady. Why call him a loser? Just because you kicked him out and he found happiness with me?" Angela retorted, eyeing Tina from head to toe."No, I didn't kick him out

Ethan's response was silence, his gentle smile directed at Angela as she spoke. "Can you please focus on what we're here for?" he gently reminded her, shifting his gaze forward.Later, after the day's ceremonies, Angela and Ethan returned to the Vertice Hotel. Meanwhile, Tina wasted no time in calling Steven, demanding to spend the night with him."Hello, Steven. Let's rock it together tonight," Tina insisted over the phone."At where? Vertice Hotel?" Steven inquired."Sure. Let's go to the only seven-star hotel in this city," Tina said before ending the call and slipping her phone back into her purse, heading to her car.Inside the Vertice Hotel, Angela hurried to Ethan, embracing him from behind, her love evident in her tight hug."I love you so much," Angela whispered, holding Ethan tightly.Ethan smiled, drawing her even closer. "Thanks for listening to me today," he replied, his smile warm and genuine.Angela chuckled, looking at him mischievously. "Honestly, I should have given

"Come here and stop talking rubbish," the maid said, preparing to strike."How disrespectful of you," Emilia retorted, her anger propelling her towards the maid.As Emilia approached, ready to stab, the maid swiftly bent down, grabbing both of Emilia's legs."Leave me now or I will stab you," Emilia threatened, edging the knife closer.Before Emilia could act, the maid pushed her away, sending her crashing to the floor. Quickly, the maid rushed to Emilia's side, placing something over her face.Emilia fainted, and the nurse, seizing the moment, retrieved her phone from her pocket.Dialing a number, the nurse urged, "Hello, she has fainted already. Quickly come and take care of her now. Time is against us," her voice urged as she stared at the door.Then, she turned to Raymond and swiftly administered the injection. Discreetly, she disposed of the needle in a basket and calmly settled into a chair as if nothing had occurred.After a brief interval, two maids entered the room."Quickly,

Emilia turned away, avoiding Hunter's eyes. "I don't have anything to say or explain," she murmured, her voice barely audible."You don't need to look away," Hunter insisted, his tone gentle but firm. "Just tell me the truth, and we can sort everything out. I know you want to save Raymond, and I respect that. But why can't you be straightforward with me? You keep twisting things, and it's hard for me to understand. Please, Emilia, just be honest with me and don't make me overreact.""I don't know much, Hunter," Emilia admitted, her voice tinged with frustration. "We were attacked, and Raymond's gang got into a fight with the attacker. The guy... he managed to kill eight of them. I escaped through the trunk, and Raymond got shot in the leg. After the guy fled, I rushed Raymond to the hospital."Hunter's words hung heavy in the air as Emilia struggled against her restraints. "Have you read a book named Rise Of The Underworld King? It was the first book written by Ivy Rogers. It was simp
