Eva was furious and aggrieved.“I-I’ll ask you one last time. Do you still intend not to release the items back to me.”she asked hoping that Benjamin would change his mind.“Don't bother. Nothing will change even if you kneel down and beg us, we won’t look at it!” Benjamin exclaimed with disdain. “You are the one who is going to be in regret once the Carter family makes a return.” Brian remarked “Eva, you were only able to become a big shot because you were sleeping around with many men but your luck will run out eventually.”Chris' eyes glinted with a murderous gaze. He charged towards Eric and immediately kicked him in the chestThe impact sent Eric's body flying and he passed out immediately after slamming against the wall.“Eric!” Brian was shocked and rushed over to check Bryce’s condition. His expression was filled with horror and only after confirming that his son was alive and merely fainted due to the shock of Chris' attack. “He is alive.” He announced.Benjamin signaled in r

Meanwhile the carters were still in a state of euphoria as they were very convinced that they would be able to triumph over the family financial crisis. Unaware of the heavy storm that was charging towards them, they continued celebrating in spite of the ruckus that eva and chris had caused at their residence paying no attention to chris warnings. “Grandfather, I just had a conversation with the mr. Ryan, the manager of Apex Bank and he has agreed to accept the heart of Pierre that was confiscated from Eva as a payment for the previous bank loan. In addition, he has also agreed to grant us another loan of a hundred and fifty million dollars.” Eric whose face was still swollen revealed with a beaming smile. He was revived a few minutes after Chris and Eva had left the crater villa, “That's very good news! Our family can make a strong comeback with that kind of money. I'm really glad that I put you in charge of this matter.” Benjamin complimented, feeling very ecstatic by the news.

“You damn old foggy! I can't believe that would be so petty. How many times do I have to tell you that there is nothing I can do even if I wanted to help you?” he lamented, his voice filled with annoyance. “However, your threats are very insignificant. You would only be worsening the current situation of your family by adding more crime charges if you expose our secret dealing.” he added in a calm tone.Benjamin was surprised by Mr. Jefferson's reaction which was contrary to his own expectations. However, he was much more concerned about the words that Jefferson uttered. He hadn't thought that far but Indeed, he would only be worsening the situation of the Carter family if he exposed Jefferson.“Since it has come to this, I no longer wish to be involved with the Carter family.” Mr Jefferson said and instantly hung up the call without giving Benjamin the chance to speak another word.On the other hand, Benjamin was perplexed as the conversation with Mr. Jefferson didn't end had he had

At this point, Eric was aggrieved. Although He was the one who suggested going to Eva's home to snatch the gifts from her in the first place, the whole family including Benjamin had all given their approval beforehand. Yet now, they were blaming him but he couldn't voice his dissatisfaction no matter how bad he was feeling right now. “Anyway, since you’ve made a grave mistake by bringing this item here, you have to solve this matter.” Ignoring Eric's displeasure, Benjamin instructed with a stern expression, “Send these items back. You must seek Eva's and her parents' forgiveness so that the pegasus enterprise will let us off. Otherwise, it’ll be over for the Carters!” “What ? Are you really going to make me go back there and plead for mercy like a defeated opponent? I have done that before and there is no way that I would agree to do that again.” “You scoundrel. Are you planning to escape taking responsibility for your mistake? If you don't fix this problem then you can also forget

“You people are really shameless! Always seeking out ways to exploit us in order to reap greater benefits.” Bruce remarked with a displeased expression on his face. For a moment, he actually believed that Eric was being sincere seeing how he willingly returned the items he had confiscated but it turns out that it was just a charade to make use of Eva as they always did in the past.“What are you talking about, uncle?”“ You would never have bothered to return these items back if the Carter's family wasn't in a dire situation and needed eva help to resolve the situation. You are not really here to reconcile with us but to take advantage of us.”Eric laughed awkwardly after listening to the bruce words. “It is very unpleasant if you put it that way uncle. We are a family so it's natural if we helped each other out.” he said, trying to mediate the situation.“We are no longer part of the Carter household so you should stop bothering us with your problems. What is the point of being part
