James Westminster pursed his lips as he took in old man Black’s words seriously. If indeed it turned out to be false, he would lose face and it would be all to the Davenson family's fault. They would have to pay for making him lose face. “Then the Davenson family will be banned from this gathering. Their company will be thoroughly audited and banned for three years.”Silence prevailed over the room. Those were heavy and hideous threats. If their family business should undergo all that, then there was no way they would ever be resuscitated. The business would go down the drain immediately. “Is that not too harsh, Prime Minister?” Diego shifted uncomfortably. This was not what he had planned for. In no way did he plan to put his business on the spot. If they eventually conquered Julls Corp and Robin agreed to come back home, what would be come back to?“How is it too harsh?” Robin sneered. “My company is facing threats too, why shouldn't yours do so?”“Because you are guilty, you ungr

Ethan stared in disbelief at Cora, “How dare you! You said there was nothing going on between you both!”“Take them away!” Robin instructed. Quickly, they were all dragged out of the hall. The tension started to dissipate but the merry energy wasn't recovered. Everyone started to look at Robin in a new light and they stylishly approached him, wanting to salvage whatever relationship they had left with him. “Mr. Robin, we are sorry about tonight…” Even though these people would willingly throw him to the curb if he were in a bad situation again, he smiled at them. He wasn't angry at them, after all, they owed him no loyalty. “Can you tell us what your relationship with Prime Minister James is? Are you the newest member of the board?”All the guests had now crowded around Robin, chairman Black, James, and Cora all fighting to get a piece of the cake. Even Cora was interested in the truth. After all, she had heard of how powerful the board members were from Diego on their way there.

“THE ADAMS HEIRESS WENT MISSING LAST NIGHT AFTER A HIGH-SOCIETY EVENT!”“REPORTS HAVE SAID SHE HAD AN INTENSE ALTERCATION WITH A GUEST AT THE EVENT. THIS GUEST IS STILL UNKNOWN, HOWEVER, IT IS SUSPECTED TO BE A HIGH-PROFILE HEIR.” Listening to the news so early in the morning had the Adams residence in tension. Last night, Jane had called to tell them of the insidious character their daughter had displayed and how she had run away with Robin Davenson. Jane threatened over the phone last night to take everything they own if they do not make Cora marry Ethan, after all, Cora had signed the marriage agreement contract!“I always knew those people were bad.” Mr. Adams seethed as he paced around his study room. Through the night, his wife had been crying as she tried to reach Cora until the moment they had to report her disappearance to the police. They hoped to get feedback from the police but no matter how they reached out, they had nothing. “Dean, aren’t you going to do something? M

“Bah!” The staff member slammed his hands on his thighs, as if he were expecting Ethan to say that. “I knew it! Men like him who are not in tune with reality think they can pass off as rich!”“I guess he has seen just how much wealth can give and he wants to taste it.” Ethan joined in, however, his eyes flickered to Robin scornfully. He tilted his head to the side, silently anticipating what Robin was going to do next. “What would you like us to do to him? I will immediately inform the hotel’s manager.” The staff chimed in, waiting on Ethan’s order like he was god. All the while, Robin stood back, silently staring at Ethan and the staff as they discussed his appropriate punishment. The other staff members had dispersed to get the hotel manager. But Robin had no such patience to wait around. “What if I can access this elevator?” He asked. “No, you can’t!” The staff barked. “You measly cleaner, still trying to act like you are some big shot? Are you out of your mind?”“I bet you ca

“Will you be needing anything at all?” Thorn asked, running around to cater to Robin. He couldn't afford to mess up again. Also, he knew the board meeting would be held in the designated building, later that day and he wondered why Robin had arrived so early. “Nothing. Thank you.” Robin smiled, calmly, enough to ease Thorn’s stress. In that moment, Thorn let out a deep breath of relief and wiped the imaginary sweat from his forehead. Thankfully, Robin was a calm and respectful man. Right now, Robin stood before the large windows in a dimly lit lounge that had a beautiful view of the hotel gardens and recreation centers scattered around the premises. He silently commended how the board members had grown the hotel into the massive force it was now. However, he needed to beat this. His assigned project must blow them off their feet. As he admired the work of art before him, the door was pushed open and two security officers stepped in while escorting Jane and Diego into the lounge.
