Dominick's gaze turned to Mrs. Beatrice as he asked in a polite tone. "Mrs. Beatrice, could you please check if there is any brand engraved on the bracelet he gave you?"Mrs. Beatrice shook her head. "I've checked it, and I didn't find any brand engraved on it. This bracelet has no brand," she stated, her gaze filled with disgust and condescension. She felt disgusted that Gabriel gave her an unbranded bracelet like that. She was sure Gabriel had given her a cheap gift.A grin tugged on the corner of Dominick's lips. He saw the opportunity to make Gabriel's image look worse in front of the Pevita family. As someone who had a huge crush on Pevita, he wouldn't let her end up with another man, let alone a broke man like Gabriel.He folded his hands across his stomach and spoke. "Well, a few days ago I came to the PEARLYOR store to look for a gift for Mrs. Beatrice and a woman I love, Pevita." He glanced at Pevita when he said her name, trying to get her attention, but Pevita paid no heed.

Pevita's gaze shifted to her boyfriend. She looked at him with a curious expression.“Babe, where did you get the bracelet? Is it true that the bracelet costs millions?”Gabriel let out a small chuckle, dismissing her suspicion. “No, actually. Don’t worry, I don’t spend that much.”She didn’t believe his answer and continued to insist otherwise. “But he’s a jewelry expert; he knows about that. He won’t be lying about it.”Gabriel smiled faintly as he turned back to look at his personal assistant, Johan.“Johan was the one who helped me get the bracelet,” he stated, lying.Johan was a little surprised that his master pointed to him, but he could easily cooperate to conceal the information about the bracelet.“Yeah, I helped my cousin. It was a special ring; I had it customized. But I couldn’t tell you where I got it,” Johan admitted.As for Mrs. Beatrice, she remained silent, still comprehending what she had just heard from the jewelry expert figure.“Sir, you better be kidding. This b

Ariana Leroy approached Mr. Reid and Dominick. With a guilty expression, she apologized.“I apologize for all of this, Dominick, Mr. Reid. I never knew she already had a boyfriend, and as you can see, we didn't even invite that boy to this party, so we never actually claimed him. I still hope she'll dump that loser and choose you, Dominick.”Dominick's lips curled into a smug smile. He was happy that Pevita's mother was still by his side. This made him even more confident that he would win Pevita back.“I hope so, Mrs. Ariana. As you already know, I am the best man for her,” Dominick replied as he shrugged proudly.Mrs. Beatrice's birthday party had ended. The guests began to leave the building. Pevita got into the car first with her family. She looked at Gabriel with teary eyes.Ariana closed the car window, arrogantly preventing Gabriel from seeing Pevita's face.As Pevita and her family drove off, Gabriel and Johan left. Pevita assumed Gabriel had arrived by taxi. Unbeknownst to he

Showing no interest in the offer, Gabriel spoke in a flat voice.“What’s your offer?”Mr. Reid’s lips curled into a smile, and he took a deep breath before speaking.“I’ll give you 5 million dollars, so after this deal, you won’t be a broke university student anymore. But in return for the money, you have to stay away from Pevita. I don’t want you near her again!” Mr. Reid ordered.Gabriel chuckled, his laughter mocking Mr. Reid’s offer.Mr. Reid’s brow furrowed, feeling insulted by his response. “Why are you laughing?”Gabriel shook his head, then spoke in a firm tone.“I won’t do that! I might just be a university student, but Pevita is very dear to me. She’s far more precious than anything, so I won’t trade her for anything! I don’t need your money, Mr. Reid.” His words dripped with condescension.Mr. Reid’s eyes darkened as his fist clenched tightly. Gabriel's response pissed him off. He didn't expect Gabriel to reject his offer. Undeterred, he tried to raise his offer."What if I

Richard shook his head. He genuinely had no idea why Mr. Reid sent men to attack Gabriel, since Gabriel himself hadn't told him the reason for this attack.Gabriel's relationship with Fiona was still in its early stages, so he hadn't let his family know about this. He might be considering telling his family, but not now."I don't know why he attacked my young master, nor did the young master himself tell me about this," Richard explained.Herbert's anger grew, but his face looked worried, concerned about his son."How is Gabriel now? Is he okay?"Richard reassured his master, speaking in a steady, calm voice."He said he's okay, Master. Johan has also protected the young master well."A sigh of relief escaped Herbert's chest. His face remained stern, a surge of anger washing over him. He was glad that his son hadn't been hurt by this attack. If his son had been injured, he would surely have taken revenge on Mr. Reid by sending men to attack him back.In a firm and authoritative tone,
