Amelia didn’t ask any more questions, and they ate in silence.Eventually, when they were done, Amelia took out her phone to pay. Then she paused and looked at Noah.“You don’t even plan to pay at all, do you?”Noah regarded her for a moment. “Am I obliged to? You invited me to dinner, and you’re paying me for taking my time. Or have you forgotten that already?” he asked, his voice low and calm.Amelia smiled. Noah was indeed a bold man, and he certainly knew how to use his words.“I haven’t,” she replied before completing the payment.When they walked out of the restaurant, Noah’s gaze swept the area.He was hoping to spot the people who had been trailing them, but there was no sign of them.Had they given up already? Especially after he had caught one of them earlier.Even so, he decided it was safer to ride back to the hotel with Amelia.It was already late, almost nine at night.“Thank you for having dinner with me,” Amelia said suddenly as they rode back to the hotel.Noah incline

Noah's grasp tightened the more around his neck. Siz fingers’ hands flew to Noah’s wrist, nails digging in as he struggled for air, his body twisting in a desperate attempt to break free.“I said I would get you, didn't I?” Noah smirked.“I just asked what is going on here!” Mike barked, but no answer came. His gaze searched around for a moment, then it rested on the members of the SL. “What did you just do? Didn't I say you should let him be?”Dan cleared his throat meaningfully. “We_”“We were teaching him a lesson. He's so arrogant!” Elio rushed out.Mike hurried closer and punched him in the face. “That's why everyone went against my order! How dare you all!”Everyone looked away, not brave enough to say anything more.Mike turned towards Noah. “Please, I didn't send them to do this. You have to believe me.”“Please,” Siz fingers forced out eventually. Noah shook his head briefly. “No, not this one. I've promised to deal with you. I don't go back on my words.”Siz fingers struggle

“ALARIC CEDRIC!” Adam exclaimed. “Isn't that the heir of Il Fuoco Establishment?”“Yes, the only person Jennifer listens to. The only person she takes orders from,” Cynthia completed for him.Chloe laughed out loud. She didn't know how she had been able to do it, because she hadn't tried to connect with Cedric at all. But the thought that Cedric could be trying to send her money only meant he was interested in her. And having him alone was enough to change her life for the better.With Cedric, everything would fall into line naturally.“Yes, that's right. Your boss wants me.”Jennifer stared at Noah in shock. Noah sighed in return. By his expression, Jennifer instantly knew he was the one Chloe was referring to. She just wondered how it was possible that Noah would be trying to send her the money after all she had done to him? Was Cedric planning to forgive her?Noah pulled out his phone and went through the contact list. Thank goodness, Robinson truly saved his contact on his phone

Martin walked past them as they entered the hall.Amelia glanced back at him. He looked irritated and she wondered why that was. Martin was the owner of Aurelia Hall. If he showed up at the party, he shouldn't be angry. Unless something was wrong.However, people started to walk out of the hall one after the other.Something was definitely wrong!Amelia looked ahead, Kyle was sprawled on the floor while Adam tried to help him upThey hurried forward.“What happened here?” It was Aria who asked.“You can ask the foolish guy you call your husband!” Adam responded angrily.“Or tell me why he lied that we could have this hall for free but suddenly, Martin is here to angrily demand his money and also say we would be paying damages too.”“Damages? But what for?” .“I think Noah lied to us about the whole thing. That is what this is all about!” Adam said firmly, as he gently led Kyle to a nearby chair.Amelia turned away and looked as the people exited the hall. “So, the party's over?”“They

It was finally Monday and Noah had tried to avoid the whole family as best as he could. The only person he couldn't do without seeing was Aria. But even at that, Mia had knocked on their door yesterday, thereby forcing Noah to wash the dishes even though he didn't eat with them.To avoid problems, Noah did.Noah got dressed that morning and stepped out just after Aria had as well. Everyone was in the dining room, having breakfast when Noah walked past them.“Noah!” Amelia called quickly. “Breakfast?”“No, I have to leave immediately.”“But_”“Let him go,” Aria cut in quickly, a trace of anger in her voice.Mia sneered. “I don't know why he has to eat our food anyway. And you had better come home earlier so you can do the dishes!” She yelled after him.Noah took a cab to Lussotech.He hesitated in front of the tall building. Lussotech was a beauty to behold. Who could have thought this company was his?He stepped inside and walked to the receptionist. The young lady at the counter howe
