“Five billion… what?!” Becca’s lips trembled violently. “A five-billion-dollar lawsuit?!”Her heartbeat faltered, turning erratic, as though it might stop at any second. Breathing became a struggle—sharp, uneven gasps that refused to fill her lungs. None of this made sense. How could a case be filed this quickly?A lawsuit of such magnitude, one that had to pass through the highest court in the country, should take at least two weeks for approval. Yet this… this had been processed, approved, and published in less than a day—no, within mere hours.Becca’s fear surged, clashing with a rising wave of anger. Today had become the worst day of her life.Not only had she been humiliated publicly, but she had also watched her billion-dollar contract crumble before her eyes. And now, a five-billion-dollar lawsuit—filed by over ten thousand people?Where did they even come from? How did this happen?“Impossible…” she whispered, her voice barely audible.Glory stepped forward immediately, as sh

“A text message from Marvin?” Aria’s lips trembled.Why would Marvin ask to meet her? And what exactly did he want?She was already busy, and it was getting late. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to postpone whatever it was to another time.Aria unlocked her phone and quickly typed a response.Sorry, I’m busy. Let’s postpone the meetup.She hit the send button and looked up at her aunt, who was already seated inside the car.“Come on, Aria! What are you doing there? We have to get going, otherwise it’ll get too dark.”“One minute, I’m coming!” Aria replied.Just then, her phone buzzed again.A response from Marvin.She opened it immediately.This isn’t a far-distance meetup. I’m currently in the hall where Becca threw her birthday party. Let’s meet inside. Like I said, it’s very important.Aria’s brows furrowed as she reread the message. Marvin kept stressing how important it was. Whatever this was, he clearly wasn’t willing to wait.After a brief moment of hesitation, she decided to give it

Aria still couldn’t believe it. What Marvin was telling her sounded completely impossible—there was no way she could accept it as the truth. To her, it all felt like the ramblings of a man who had lost his mind.Not willing to get dragged into a pointless argument, she let out a quiet breath and spoke.“You know what? Forget about it,” she said, turning to him. “We can’t keep standing here, making this investigation harder by pointing fingers at the wrong person. Besides, we all know Tyler is poor. If he were rich, he would never have agreed to marry me for that amount—and on top of that, endure all the insults from my family.”But Marvin showed no sign of backing down.“That’s exactly how these things work, Aria,” he replied firmly. “The people you least expect to be suspects are often the ones hiding the truth.”He stepped closer, his voice lowering with intensity. “Tyler is rich—he’s just hiding it. He’s been pretending to be poor so no one, not even you, would stand in the way of

Hearing what Jane said, Leah wasn’t the least bit surprised. She simply turned to her and asked calmly, “Is there a problem if I do so?” Jane blinked, clearly taken aback. “Don’t tell me you actually mean it—you’re planning to secure a partnership with Tyler Hudson? And if I may ask, what exactly will he do for us? Publicize our company? How? How large is his fanbase? He’s practically a nobody. In fact, he’s the most useless person I’ve ever come across. I can’t possibly allow someone like him to be associated with this company!” Leah lifted her gaze slowly, her expression firm—a silent reminder of who stood before her. “I am your boss. The least you can do is show some respect and choose your words carefully.” Jane immediately lowered her head, her posture softening in apology. “I’m sorry if I sounded rude. I was only trying to point out that bringing in a poor, insignificant man with no clear future into this company is completely unnecessary…” “I am the CEO, Jane,” Leah cut

Back at the headquarters of ABC Companies, Aisha sat comfortably in her office, her eyes fixed on the screen before her. She was watching highlights from Becca’s birthday party—the very event she had missed a few days ago.The clips played one after the other, each revealing moments she wished she had witnessed in person.Just then, her phone vibrated softly against the desk.Her attention shifted.It was an email notification.From an unfamiliar sender.UNFAMILIAR?!Aisha narrowed her eyes slightly and reached for the phone. The address displayed on the screen read: tylerhudson…Her brows furrowed.Someone she didn’t know?No… not exactly.The name rang a bell—loud and clear.But something wasn’t right.That wasn’t Tyler’s real email address.A flicker of curiosity—and suspicion—crossed her face as she tapped on the notification, about to open the message and confirm the sender’s full identity. But just then....Knock! Knock! Knock!The sharp sound echoed through the room, cutting h
