Margaret Easton's greatest desire was to find an opportunity to kick Isaiah Lowell out of the Easton family.Now, seeing Daphne Easton defending Isaiah and accepting their marriage, she was boiling with frustration."Daphne, I'm warning you, don't fall for him. If you end up with such a loser, you'll regret it. I'm your living example," Margaret said angrily.Over the three years Daphne had spent with Isaiah, her feelings for him had changed subtly.Even without the Blue Horizon Real Estate deal, she wouldn't have divorced him. Moreover, Isaiah played a crucial role in making this collaboration happen.Margaret's disdain for Isaiah stemmed from her belief that he was a loser. If only she knew about the real estate deal, her opinion might change.Daphne sighed, wondering why she couldn't reveal this to them."It's not that I’m angry with you. I just don't want you to follow my old route," Margaret said, softening her tone."Mom, give him

Three days later at the Easton family villa, a celebration banquet was held for Daphne Easton by the matriarch, attended by all relatives of the Easton family.During the banquet, Daphne detailed the collaboration with Blue Horizon Real Estate, which greatly pleased the matriarch.The relatives, however, harbored their own schemes, aware that Daphne's ascent to power was now a foregone conclusion, securing her unshakeable position in the company.Thomas Easton appeared visibly upset.Previously the highest-ranked among the younger generation and a potential successor to the chairman of the Easton family, he now saw his influence in the company waning due to Daphne's new authority.However, he consoled himself with the thought that Daphne, being a woman, wouldn't be handed complete control of the company.Besides the banquet, another major event was happening in Cresthaven City - the auction of the Cresthaven Hills villa.While the Eastons didn't da

Seeing Isaiah Lowell struggling to pull out his wallet, the nouveau riche breathed a sigh of relief, his face regaining its arrogant expression."It's all over now, you've blown your bluff. 'I forgot my wallet' – if you say that, you'll be the laughingstock," he jeered.A flamboyantly dressed woman laughed in a mocking tone, "Hey, broke guy, can you stop bothering me while I shop? Just scram, you're embarrassing yourself."Olive Pierce quietly tugged at Daphne Easton's sleeve and whispered, "Let's just leave. We shouldn't be embarrassed alongside him. I can't take this humiliation."Daphne Easton, puzzled, looked at Isaiah. He wasn't one to boast for the sake of pride.Why was he doing this? Shaking her head, she walked over and asked, "Forgot your wallet?"Isaiah's face was a picture of embarrassment.He had brought his wallet, but the card was with Matthew Martin – something he had completely forgotten.Hearing Daphne's words, th

"Change your car?" The shop owner greeted Isaiah Lowell with a smile as he parked the car and approached the store."The sun is getting too strong as summer approaches," Isaiah replied.The shop owner, out of habit, picked a pack of Isaiah's usual cigarettes. Glancing at the Audi A6, he questioned, "Changing brands?" given Isaiah's current status."Saving a bit, need to cut down on fuel expenses," Isaiah said.The shop owner chuckled and shook his head. "The fuel for this car can't be offset by saving on cigarettes.""Every little bit helps, I don't want to be accused of wastefulness," Isaiah responded, unwrapping the pack and offering a cigarette to the shop owner.Their movements were perfectly synchronized as the shop owner lit the cigarette, a testament to their three years of acquaintance.Drawing deeply, the shop owner exhaled a ring of smoke, "I always knew you were no ordinary man.A dragon in shallow waters, just waiting to soar to th

As Olive Pierce watched Amelia Easton's mocking laughter, she felt a surge of anger."What's the big deal about the 22nd? Does it really mean anything?" Olive said.Amelia was deliberately using this to mock Daphne Easton, and now that Olive had joined the conversation, she wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to continue belittling Daphne."It doesn't mean anything, just a difference in circumstance. After all, it's happening on the same day. Even if I say nothing, outsiders will remember what happened three years ago on the 22nd," Amelia said."There are many things that happen on the same day. You can only watch helplessly. How does it relate to you?" Olive retorted.Amelia scoffed, "What does it matter if it relates to me? At least I don't have such a worthless man. The man I'm going to marry, you can't even imagine how wealthy his family is."Olive had heard from Daphne about the gift and the staggering amount of cash. The suitor's family mus
