Raymond glanced at the screen.He had already known that the account belonged to him, so hearing her confirmation did not change anything."Good," he replied.That single word almost made Gabriella lose her composure completely.Good?Was that all he had to say after seeing one trillion dollars?She could not believe it.If another person had discovered that such an amount was waiting for them, they might have screamed, laughed, or even collapsed from excitement.Raymond simply stood there as though nothing important had happened.For Gabriella, however, everything had changed.She suddenly remembered how she had spoken to him earlier, how she had questioned his claims, and how she had almost allowed the situation downstairs to continue without giving him the attention he deserved.A terrible feeling settled in her stomach.What if Raymond decided to punish her for the way he had been treated?What if he demanded that the bank close his account and transfer the entire amount somewhere

Raymond remained silent for a few moments as he considered the proposal Gabriella had placed before him, while the young woman stood on the other side of the desk, waiting for his answer with a nervous expression on her face.The amount they were discussing was not something an ordinary person could even dream of having, yet Raymond looked completely relaxed, as though they were discussing a few thousand dollars rather than one hundred billion.For someone like him, money had never been the greatest problem, especially after everything he had achieved over the years. As the Supreme Lord, his wealth and influence reached places that even the most powerful businessmen in the country could never imagine, although very few people knew the true extent of what he controlled.However, Raymond had no intention of revealing his identity simply because he was standing inside a bank.He had learned long ago that there was no need to show people everything he possessed, especially when keeping ce

Sophia looked around the quiet room where she had stepped away from the movie set.A few minutes earlier, she had been thinking about her next scene and the people she needed to impress, but now all those things seemed far less important.She could already imagine what would happen if the truth became public.The entertainment companies that were eager to work with her might suddenly begin avoiding her, while the people who praised her today could easily become the same people insulting her tomorrow.Even worse, the secrets she had worked so hard to hide might bring consequences far beyond losing a few acting roles.She had always believed that the past would remain buried.Now Simon was telling her that Raymond had returned, and the thought alone made her stomach tighten."Did he mention anything specific?" she asked carefully. "Did he say what he knows, or did he only threaten you?"Simon frowned."What difference does that make?""It makes a difference because we need to know wheth

Sophia swallowed nervously as she listened to Simon Brown speaking on the other end of the phone, her fingers tightening around the device while she tried to understand how everything had suddenly become so complicated.For years, she had believed that Raymond was no longer someone she needed to worry about, especially after everything that had happened in the past. She had moved on with her life, built a successful acting career, and surrounded herself with people who could help her become even more famous.Yet here she was, standing inside a movie studio, listening to Simon tell her that the very man they had believed was dead had suddenly appeared before him.What frightened her most was not simply the fact that Raymond was alive, but the possibility that he might already know things that could destroy everything she had worked so hard to build."Simon, are you absolutely certain that the person you saw was Raymond?" she asked again, although she knew that repeating the question wo

Sophia lowered her phone and remained seated for a while, staring at the screen without really seeing anything.She wanted to believe that Simon would solve the problem, but she could not stop thinking about Raymond.What if he already knew everything?What if he had evidence?What if he was deliberately allowing Simon to believe he had the advantage?The questions continued troubling her until another knock came from the door, reminding her that the director was still waiting.Sophia forced herself to stand, adjusted her clothes, and looked into the mirror again.She practiced a small smile, hoping nobody would notice how disturbed she was.After all, she was an actress.Pretending that everything was fine was something she knew how to do very well.Meanwhile, Simon had already ended the call and was driving with a frightening determination.He had no intention of waiting until the following day.As far as he was concerned, Raymond had already been given too much time.The thought of
