Without hesitation, every member of the Gatwick family rushed to pull out their phones. Even Scott leaned forward sharply. Fred narrowed his eyes and immediately opened his own device. Within seconds, the room filled with the frantic tapping of screens, scrolling, refreshing, searching. And then— it appeared. The official Aurelios Group announcement. It was a certified corporate statement. Gatwick Investment has been approved for partnership with Aurelios Group with Greg Barnsley representing them. A shockwave of silence followed. Then chaos. “What…?” “No way…” The disbelief spread instantly across the room. People checked again. And again. Some even refreshed their screens repeatedly, as though the truth would change if they looked away long enough. But it didn’t. It was real. Greg had secured it. Fred’s face stiffened the moment he saw it properly. His fingers slowly loosened around his phone. For a brief moment, all his arrogance disappeared. Be

Scott then turned toward Greg.“Greg, there is something important I need you to handle.”The room quieted slightly.Greg looked up calmly. “What is it?”“You will contact the chairman of Aurelios Group,” he said. “And formally invite him to our celebration banquet.”A ripple went through the room.Scott’s eyes gleamed with expectation.“If the chairman attends,” he added, “it will elevate our status beyond imagination. The entire city of Belton will recognize Gatwick Investment. We will no longer be just another family company—we will be at the center of influence.”A few relatives murmured as Scott continued. Maybe Greg would use his connection with Amelia to invite the chairman. Because to them, there was no way someone like him would be able to have assess to the chairman. “This is our chance to make history.”Greg didn’t answer immediately. His expression remained unchanged.Then he spoke.“That won’t be possible.”The room went slightly still.Scott frowned. “What do you mean,

Alina practically floated out of the Gatwick mansion that evening.The tension that had weighed on her shoulders for days seemed to have vanished completely.For the first time since marrying Greg, she felt hopeful.The challenge that her father, Scott Gatwick, had given Greg had seemed impossible at first. Yet somehow, Greg had done it.Not only had he secured the collaboration with Aurelios Group, but he had done so in less than three days.Even though many members of the Gatwick family still looked down on him, the collaboration itself was real.That alone changed everything.As they walked toward their car, Alina turned toward Greg, her beautiful face glowing with happiness."Greg.""Hmm?" Greg looked at her.A warm smile appeared on her face."I really commend your efforts in taking up that challenge."Greg chuckled."You deserve it."Alina's heart warmed.Ever since they got married, Greg had always put her first.No matter how badly her family treated him, he never blamed her.

Greg left Aura Gold without looking back, and his mind shifted to Alina, and to the promise he had made.A proper wedding. And there was only one place in Belton that fit his vision. It was Midas Hotel.Midas Hotel stood like a golden crown in the heart of Belton. From a distance, it shimmered under the sunlight like a palace carved from wealth itself—glass walls, gold-lined balconies, and a towering structure that seemed to touch the sky.Inside, the lobby was even more breathtaking.Crystal chandeliers hung like frozen waterfalls from the ceiling. The marble floors were polished so perfectly that they reflected footsteps like water. Soft classical music floated through the air, blending with the faint scent of rare orchids placed in every corner.Luxury wasn’t just present here—it was the language of the building.Every step deeper into the hotel revealed another layer of extravagance: private lounges draped in silk curtains, indoor waterfalls carved into stone walls, and relaxatio

Lisa tried to salvage her image the moment she saw Mr. Dag respecting Greg.Her earlier arrogance evaporated instantly, replaced by a forced, sugary smile that looked almost unnatural on her face. She straightened her uniform, adjusted her tone, and stepped forward as though nothing had happened.“Mr. Barnsley!” she said warmly. “I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding earlier. There must have been some confusion. Please don’t take it personally.”She laughed lightly, trying to sound friendly, even familiar.But Greg didn’t respond.That silence made her even more desperate. She quickly turned to Mr. Dag.“Sir, I know him. We… we’re actually friends,” she lied smoothly, nodding as if it were obvious.Mr. Dag blinked, then relaxed immediately.“Oh? You know Mr. Barnsley?”Lisa nodded quickly. “Yes, very well.”That was all Mr. Dag needed to hear.Without hesitation, he smiled at Lisa.“In that case, I’ll immediately arrange a promotion for you. You're being promoted to the post of Assist
