At that moment, hearing what Benjamin had just said about making calls and expecting good news soon, Elizabeth was still feeling deeply agitated and unsettled.She was still feeling profoundly unsure about the entire situation, despite Benjamin's attempts at reassurance.Elizabeth was still feeling as if something was fundamentally wrong with this whole investment scenario, and her instincts were screaming warnings.Then she asked with growing curiosity and desperation in her voice, “How long do I have to wait for this promised news?”Her tone became more pointed and demanding. “How long do I have to literally be kept in the dark about what's really happening?”Elizabeth's voice cracked with emotion. “How long, Benjamin? Because I don't really know what is wrong, but something deep inside me is telling me that something is actually terribly wrong with this entire situation. And I honestly don't know what to do with these horrible feelings I'm having.”Then Elizabeth's voice took on a

At that moment, hearing what Elizabeth had just said and carefully analyzing the manner in which Elizabeth had just spoken to him with such directness and suspicion, Benjamin could immediately tell that something was fundamentally wrong with their conversation now.His instincts as a con artist kicked in, and he realized the dangerous shift that was occurring in Elizabeth's mindset.It seemed clear to him that Elizabeth was beginning to literally doubt him and question the legitimacy of everything he had told her, which was exactly the scenario he desperately wanted to avoid.Benjamin knew that if Elizabeth started doubting him seriously, it would simply mean that she was going to be literally asking more probing questions - specific questions to which he didn't have believable answers prepared.This line of questioning would definitely mean that all of his carefully constructed plans and deceptions were definitely going to crumble under scrutiny.And worse yet, Elizabeth would defini

At that moment, hearing what Benjamin had just said with such raw emotion and wounded disappointment, Elizabeth felt a crushing wave of guilt wash over her.She couldn't deny that Benjamin was absolutely right about his track record of helping her through countless crises.Knowing fully well that, yes, Benjamin had indeed been the one consistently sticking his neck out for her ever since her world began falling apart, Elizabeth felt ashamed of her accusations.Benjamin had been the one literally helping her to resolve all the complicated situations with Raymond and his threatening demands for investment returns.And also when the devastating situation happened with the bank and her financial troubles began mounting, Benjamin was the one who stepped forward to help her navigate those treacherous waters.Benjamin had been the one helping her resolve everything when no one else would even listen to her problems or offer assistance.The weight of this realization hit Elizabeth hard - it w

Right away, sensing that Elizabeth was now completely back under his psychological control, Benjamin delivered his final reassuring promises with calculated confidence.“Don't worry about anything, Elizabeth,” Benjamin said with triumphant certainty in his voice.His tone carried the promise of ultimate vindication. “You are going to be the one who has the last laugh when all of this is over.”Benjamin's voice grew more conspiratorial and exciting. “And I will help you start putting everything in place so that you can achieve the revenge you deserve.”His words painted a picture of sweet victory. “You are going to deal with that good-for-nothing David exactly the way he deserves when the time is absolutely right.”Benjamin's promise was designed to fuel Elizabeth's desire for revenge while keeping her invested in his fraudulent scheme.So immediately, feeling completely reassured and trusting Benjamin's words entirely, Elizabeth nodded her head enthusiastically.“No problem then, B

Immediately, with trembling hands and a racing heart, Benjamin answered the unknown phone call and brought the device closer to his ear with cautious anticipation.“Hello, who is this?” Benjamin asked, trying to keep his voice steady despite his growing anxiety about the mysterious caller.That was when an elderly man's voice with unmistakable authority responded clearly from the other end of the phone line.“It is me, Raymond's father,” the distinguished voice said with calm formality.Immediately upon hearing that particular voice and identifying the caller, Benjamin felt his entire body react with visceral fear.His lips started shaking uncontrollably and his hands began trembling so badly he nearly dropped the phone.Benjamin's heart pounded in his chest because he absolutely didn't know why Raymond's powerful and influential father would be calling him at this particular moment.He had already given Raymond's family everything that he supposedly knew about David's whereabouts and

The young master's uncle was in a state of agitated fury, pacing restlessly inside his room like a caged animal, moving up and down with barely contained rage and frustration.He was so consumed with anger that his entire body was tense, and his phone was gripped so tightly in his hands that his knuckles had turned white from the pressure.The weight of his failed schemes and missed opportunities was crushing down on him with unbearable intensity.Then, unable to contain his emotions any longer in the confines of his room, he stormed toward where he had left his car keys.He picked up the car keys with violent anger, his movements sharp and aggressive as he channeled his disappointment into physical action.Without hesitation, he walked out of the house with determined steps and entered one of his vehicles parked outside.He drove with reckless speed to a quiet, secluded location where he could conduct his business without being overheard or observed by unwanted witnesses.Then withou

At that moment, recognizing the urgency of his situation and the need for immediate action, the young master's uncle made his decision about how to conduct their business.“Well, we'll handle everything right here on the phone because this matter is extremely important and time-sensitive,” he said with commanding authority.Then his tone grew more urgent. “And I really want you to swing into action as quickly as possible without any delays.”The young master's uncle's voice became more strategic as he began outlining his manipulative scheme.“So, regarding my brother's family situation, I know that you are currently the one dating Emmanuel, who is the younger brother to Frederick,” he said, demonstrating his intimate knowledge of the family dynamics.His tone grew more calculated and devious. “So here's exactly what I want you to do for me in this operation.”The young master's uncle's voice carried cold manipulation. “I want you to deliberately seduce Frederick and make him fall f

Immediately after David and Dr. Silva had literally left the patriarch's residence following their intense conversation, they walked away from the compound together in thoughtful silence.As they were walking side by side toward their vehicle, Dr. Silva's curiosity about David's bold strategy finally overcame her professional reserve.Dr. Silva curiously turned to David with questioning eyes and asked him something that had been bothering her throughout the entire meeting.“Well, I have to admit that I honestly didn't know that you would literally say those exact words so directly to the patriarch,” she said with a mixture of surprise and concern.“Because from where I was standing, I could clearly tell that you literally wanted the patriarch to hear and understand what you were saying.”Dr. Silva's voice grew more specific. “You deliberately spoke about the poisoning and internal threats in a way that would make him pay attention to what was literally happening around him.”She conti

Immediately upon seeing the caller ID on his phone screen, David's face got visibly darkened with a mixture of shock, confusion, and apprehension as he stared at the unexpected contact.He wasn't expecting this particular phone call at all, especially not at this critical moment.It had been a very long, long, long time since he had received any phone call from this specific person, making the timing even more suspicious and concerning.David was genuinely surprised and troubled that this person was literally calling him now, of all times.The coincidence felt too convenient to be accidental, which made him immediately wary of the caller's intentions.So at that moment, Dr. Silva's observational skills kicked in as she noticed the dramatic change in David's demeanor and body language.Seeing the troubled look spreading across David's face, Dr. Silva could instinctively tell that something was visibly wrong with this unexpected communication.The sudden change in his eyebrow expression

Without saying another word of farewell or explanation, Dr. Silva then stepped down from the car with quiet understanding, recognizing that David needed to face this crisis alone.That was when David literally nodded his head in acknowledgment of her support and concern, then immediately drove away with urgent determination.Not long after beginning his journey, after driving for some time through the city streets toward his destination, his emotional state began to intensify dramatically.His hands were tightening around the steering wheel with such force that his knuckles turned completely white from the pressure.His jaw was visibly clenching and unclenching as waves of rage and anguish washed over him during the drive.As he navigated through traffic, he was speaking to himself with barely controlled fury about the unforgivable violation that was being threatened.“Any scratch on my mother's grave, any desecration of her resting place, is definitely not going to be forgiven by me,
