Mr. James zoned out for a few moments as Jeremy made his way towards the door, the air in the room thick with tension. Realizing the effect this was having, Mr. James quickly laughed, attempting to diffuse the situation. "Oh please, Jeremy! What nonsense are you thinking?" he chuckled, hoping to ease the situation. "There's no way someone is paying me to sabotage you. That's just ridiculous!"With a derisive snort, Mr. James said, "You're delusional if you think someone is paying me to sabotage you, Jeremy. You've barely spent a week in my country, and you're already paranoid about your safety?" He punctuated his retort with a sharp laugh. "Let's get one thing straight: the only reason you're enjoying any glory here is because of your father. Without him, you're nothing more than a nobody.""It's obvious you've been riding on your father's coattails your entire life, Jeremy," Mr. James sneered, his tone dripping with contempt. "You think you're important, but the truth is, you're a sm

The Kaiden patriarch was furious. His face was twisted in anger, and he slammed his hands on the table. "Jeremy Nathaniel is a bastard, just like his father," he roared.His voice was loud and powerful, echoing through the room. The patriarch shook his head, a sneer twisting his features. "I was wrong about Jeremy Nathaniel. He's not the fool I thought he was. I have to admit, he's got more brains than his father, the useless fool who fell into our trap and ended up marrying my daughter."He laughed, but there was no joy in it, only bitterness and spite.The patriarch stood up from his chair, his eyes blazing with hatred as he strode to the window. "I contacted the foreign partners to his father's company, knowing that Jeremy wouldn't know how to run it without his father's help. I convinced them to back out of their deal, but Jeremy somehow convinced them to stay. I must admit, he must be good!"His laughter was cold and cruel, like the chill of a winter wind.Jeremy Nathaniel had t

Jeremy grew increasingly restless upon seeing the message that had been sent by the man. Frustrated and worried, he exclaimed, "Over my dead body! I will never allow the one I love to be put in harm's way." He immediately grabbed his phone to contact the man, but to his dismay, the number was unreachable and the man was no longer active online.As Jeremy pondered over the man's proposal, his anger and frustration grew in intensity, propelling him towards the thought of eliminating James and his backers with a newfound urgency. The thought of them posing a threat to the person he loved only intensified his determination to stop them at any cost.As Jeremy's efforts to contact the man proved futile, his mind swirled with worry and agitation. With a heavy heart, he entered the bedroom where his beloved wife lay in peaceful slumber. He gazed upon her beauty and gently brushed his lips against hers in a tender goodbye before retiring to bed for the night, unable to shake the uneasy feeling

Jeremy was very upset with what his wife Avery had proposed. "Avery, I will not allow you to do that. I don't care what happens, but I will not let you put yourself in danger. Your safety is more important than anything else." He disagreed strongly with her idea and would not stand for it.Avery walked over to Jeremy, holding his hands in hers, and began to speak softly. "My love, I'll be okay. I'm not a child anymore, and I want to help our family. You've worked so hard to keep us safe, and now I have a chance to do something to help. Please, let me do this for us." She pleaded with him, trying to convince him that her plan was the right thing to do.Jeremy was still not convinced, his concerns overwhelming him. "This plan doesn't sit well with me. I can't trust James or the FBI with your safety. What if James discovers our plan and tries to hurt you? Or what if he has you kidnapped and puts our unborn child in danger?" He couldn't risk anything happening to Avery or their baby. "No

"My dearest, lovely Avery," James cooed, his eyes fixed on her with an intensity, "I meant every syllable when I proclaimed our partnership. I am prepared to cater to your every wish, my love."Avery, struggling to contain the seething anger that boiled beneath the surface, swallowed her anger and kept her composure. She could feel the coils of his deceit tightening around her, suffocating her very soul.Avery forced a fake smile and said in a voice that sounded like she was trying to be sexy, "Okay, Mr. James. I trust you." Mr. James laughed really loud. "You are right, Mr. James," Avery said. "We are perfect partners." But she didn't really mean what she said. She was pretending.Mr. James said with a big smile on his face, "I love smart women like you! So, tell me your idea, smart woman." He leaned back in his chair, feeling comfortable.Avery said in a serious voice, "I already have some of the Nathaniel's secret papers. I still need to get some more, but I know I can get them.
