Samara turned to the Manager, and even though she saw the frown on his face, she insisted on her action.“Mr. Reed?” She called out with a tone that almost sounded seductive, holding onto her coy smile. “I don’t think Brian deserves that bottle of wine. Don’t waste it.” “And why do you say so?” Craig decided to indulge her, but in less than a microsecond, he already regretted his decision.“I mean. Look at him.” Samara pointed to Brian, then she tutted. “He doesn’t look like he is worth it. Maybe you can give him a cup of coffee or even a glass of water. Yes! A glass of water!” She chuckled, turning to Linda.“Get him a class of water.” She instructed, causing the poor saleslady to turn to her boss, wondering if they had switched roles. Craig sighed in confusion, his breathing heavy and unsteady.“It’s okay. I am fine.” Brian gestured to the saleslady, and that was the only time she was able to get a grip on herself.He turned to Samara, looking her straight in the eyes.

Brian let out a laugh that cut like a sharp blade through Lucas’s chest.“Did I?” He asked with his smirk intact, looking Lucas in the eyes. “Was I able to destroy your ego, Lucas? Is there any left? Let me see…” He lowered his gaze, looking at Lucas’s chest for a second.Then he took a deep breath, lifting his eyes to look him in the face. “There is a reason why they say humility is golden, Lucas. Maybe you should try it. It will help.” He patted him on the shoulder without taking his eyes off him. Lucas went numb, the rage in his eyes was soon doused.He had lost his valor, but the urge to fight back was still intact.“You think you can humiliate me like that?!” He growled inwardly, clenching his right fist. “Lucas…” Craig walked out from behind his desk, approaching him slowly.“I think you need to calm down, bro. You don’t need to do this. Think about the repercussions.”Lucas turned to his friend, but he didn’t utter even a single word. He just stared, shifting his

“I have no reason to lie to you, Arya,” Brian assured, nodding to affirm his words. “Lucas even insulted me, saying I was unfit to be your husband. You can call him to confirm. I would never betray you like that. Never…”Arya took a deep breath, her expression falling for the third time. She exhaled sharply, then she turned to Travis who was almost desperate to hear her response.“Don’t let him deceive you, Arya. I am sure he is just making things up.” “Then how does he know who Lucas is? He has never met him. I haven’t even mentioned him once.” Arya questioned, but his brother was short of words.Travis stuttered, turning to Brian while he struggled with the anger that burned inside him.He growled inwardly, almost showing his grinding teeth.Brian overlooked his demeanor, turning to Arya.“You can call him, Arya. I am sure he would tell you something to prove my innocence.” “There would be no need for that.” Arya gave a quick response, taking two steps forward.Then s

“All of that will make no sense if this poor woman suffers because of your pride and ignorance,” Brian stated, pointing to the sick lady. The silence that followed merely lasted for two seconds before Ethan turned to him, burning inside with annoyance. “Are you trying to teach us our work? Huh?!” He turned to Don Pedro, anger still visible in his eyes.“I am so sorry, Don Pedro. But if we have to do this, then we need him to leave. He is distracting us.” He pointed at Brian like trash in a neat room, still brewing inside. Don Pedro took a deep breath, then he turned to Arya, eyes burning with annoyance. “Can you tell this husband of yours to let the Doctors do their work? First, he claimed to be a CEO; now he claims to be a Doctor. Pathetic!” He almost spat, spite laced in his tone. Arya nodded, still very much respectful of her Grandfather.She sniffled while she turned to face Brian, looking him in the eyes. “Please, Ethan. Can’t you see that my mother is dying?!” She

Everyone kept staring silently, their eyes wide as they waited for a reaction.Brian climbed down the bed as soon as he was done injecting the mixture through the veins in her arm. He took a deep breath, turning to the two Doctors who snarled at him. He returned his gaze to the woman, but he wasn’t the first to see that she had stopped jerking.“I think it worked!” Arya exclaimed, laughing as she hurried back to the bed.“Don’t go too close.” Brian stopped her with a gesture, causing her to halt.“It worked, Brian! How did you do it?!” She turned to him, but he only smiled and exhaled sharply. “We are not done yet, Arya. Your mother still needs urgent attention. We need to flush the poison out of her system.”“Poison you say?!” Don Pedro gasped, marching forward with the aid of his cane.“My daughter was not poisoned, Brian. No one would dare do that.” He gnashed his teeth, speaking with so much certainty. “I knew it!” Jason sniggered, pointing to Brian while he waited f
