“Who the hell are you?” Anita snapped, her voice sharp enough to cut through the room.At that moment, Mary stepped forward, not wanting things to spiral out of control. “Please,” she said gently, “let’s not allow this to get out of hand. For the sake of the children and today’s event, I’d like to ask all parents to remain calm and avoid arguments.”Anita shot her a frosty glare. “And who are you to interfere? You’re just a teacher. Do you want to lose your job?”Mary’s expression tightened for a fraction of a second, but she kept a polite smile. “Ma’am, I’m only asking that you speak respectfully to the other parents.”Anita muttered a curse under her breath, casting a hostile glance at Asher and Isabella.Isabella’s anger flared; she wanted nothing more than to slap Anita across the face. But then she noticed the eyes of others fixed on them. Taking a slow breath, she clenched her fists and forced herself to st

“It was Wayne,” Dave said quietly. “I saw him walk into the other dressing room, so I followed. I didn’t know why he was there. Then I saw him playing with a lighter. I asked what he was doing, and I remembered my mom telling me not to play with lighters because they’re dangerous. But Wayne said it was just his toy. He lit it, and it slipped from his hand onto the clothes.”Gasps erupted through the yard. Anita's face turned red, and her fist clenched so tightly, “Look, my son is innocent, he can't do that at his age, your son is blaming my son. Tell him to stop it or I will break his jaw.”Asher stared coldly at Anita, “I know my son very well, and he can't lie to me.”At this time, Samuel Hughes rushed forward. He got notified about the incident and had to come as fast as possible. “What happened?” Samuel's voice echoed..When Anita saw, she kept an ugly face as she said. “Mr. Hughes, I am happy you are here. Someone is slandering my son, you need to teach them a lesson.”Samuel

Anita was furious, she had mentioned her last name and her husband’s position, yet these people weren’t scared of her!Do they have a death wish? She nodded as she thought about how she would deal with Asher and his family when her husband got there.Since you have refused to listen to me, don’t worry much, you will regret your decision.“Don’t say I didn’t tell you! My husband is going to teach you a good lesson, I believe, by the end of the day, you will not only be crying for forgiveness but you will be leaving this city,” she voiced.Asher laughed out loud and said. “Your family name doesn’t ring a bell in my ears, why do I have to take it seriously? Besides, a family that has a trash like you as daughter-in-law is nothing to be worried about.”Hearing Asher’s words those around burst into laughter, which made Anita extremely infuriated that Asher was insulting her family. She didn’t hesitate as she cried into the phone to her husband.Samuel Hughes, had stepped forward, “Mr. M

The hall was neatly decorated as the event was held downtown. It was an important event, and a few companies that had wanted to partner with Ricardo had arrived at the venue. About four companies had sent their representatives, including Dustin who had arrived with Emily as part of his team members.Ricardo never wanted to hold a conference like this, but what happened to him made him want to hasten most of his deals. Everything had been planned, including Isabella doing her own part, just like she had been paid.She had done that with the help of Wilson, Angela and the other four men Asher had invited. Those men weren’t just there to assist but to protect her from harm. A few hours later, Isabella was invited into a room by Charlotte, and they both sat down as she offered Isabella a cup of wine.Isabella didn’t suspect anything unusual, she didn’t see Charlotte as someone to hurt her.At some point, she was beginning to feel dizzy,“Are you okay?” Charlotte asked pretending not to

A few minutes later, the men had arrived at a warehouse in the South region, which was owned by Mr. Wilson Griffin. Wilson Griffin pulled a chair and sat down while staring coldly at Asher. “This is my territory, and I am going to make you pay for what you did to my son. But before I do that you must send back the $100 million you took from him.”“I thought I sent a message across to you. You’d sent your men against me before I had told your guard to warn you not to interfere in my business, but you chose to ignore. You went ahead to join forces with Ricardo. I can see you have a death wish.”Wilson’s smile vanished, replaced by a cold, murderous glare. “You think you’re strong enough?” he hissed. “Look around, not even your skills can save you here. You’ve got two choices: return the money and die or you admit you lied about my son.”“Your son is a murderer, and people like him deserve to rot in jail, and soon you might be joining your son, or you will be taking another step away,”
