CHAPTER 52
The president glanced briefly at Greg again before lowering his gaze to the phone in his hand. Then, without hesitation, he pressed the call button.The line rang only once before someone answered from the other end.“Good evening, Your Excellency,” a mature male voice greeted respectfully from the speaker.“Good evening,” the president replied calmly.The moment he spoke again, however, the atmosphere changed instantly.“Mr. George Whitmore,” the president said clearly.The instant that name was mentioned, I saw Sonia’s entire expression change. It was as though someone had drained the blood from her face in one swift motion. Her eyes widened dramatically, and her lips parted in horror.Beside her, Greg’s body visibly stiffened. The reaction was immediate and intense.The name George Whitmore clearly carried tremendous weight in Denark.Sonia quickly leaned toward Greg, her voice lowered into a hurried whisper, though the panic in it was impossible to hide.“We are doomed, George Wh
CHAPTER 51
Sonia was still frozen in front of the President of Cardinia,.Then, without any hesitation or warning, the president raised his hand not toward me, not toward anyone else, but toward her, and the sound of his palm connecting with her face rang out sharply across the room.Slap!!It was not a light slap meant to simply reprimand her.It was firm, sharp, and filled with unmistakable authority.Sonia gasped as her head snapped to the side from the force. Her hand hovering near her cheek where the impact had landed moments ago, her mind clearly struggling to catch up with reality.Her body tilted dangerously, and for a brief second, it looked as if she might lose her balance completely. The shock on her face was immediate and overwhelming, not only because of the pain, but because of the humiliation and disbelief that followed. This was not something she had anticipated, nor something she had ever imagined would happen to her in a room full of powerful individuals.Before she could eve
CHAPTER 50
“Excuse me,” Greg continued, his voice cutting through the silence with force. “I think there has been a serious misunderstanding here.”The man standing on the platform turned toward him, maintaining a calm and professional demeanor, as interruptions of this nature were not entirely unexpected in gatherings such as this.“And what misunderstanding might that be?” the man asked evenly.Greg let out a short, humorless laugh before gesturing in my direction.“That man,” he said, his tone sharp and dismissive, “is not who you think he is.”A ripple of murmurs spread through the hall immediately, as his statement had struck a chord among the audience.“In fact,” Greg continued, taking another step forward as his confidence grew, “he is nothing more than a nobody. A man of no importance whatsoever.”He paused briefly, allowing his words to sink in before pressing on.“He does not belong here, and he certainly does not deserve to be treated as a VIP talk more of a VVIP ,” he added firmly.T
CHAPTER 49
Then, without hesitation, she began walking toward me.Her heels clicking softly against the floor, yet carrying enough force to draw attention. The distance between us closed quickly, and before long, she stood directly in front of me again, her eyes fixed on mine with irritation.“You must really think you’re clever,” she began, her tone cold and filled with restrained anger. “Let me guess, you bribed the guard outside to let you in, didn’t you?”A faint murmur rippled through the audience at her accusation, but she did not stop there. Instead, she folded her arms across her chest and tilted her head slightly, studying me as she was trying to dismantle whatever composure I had.“But then again,” she continued, her lips curling into a faint, mocking smile, “that wouldn’t make much sense either, would it?”She paused briefly, allowing her next words to carry more weight.“Because you don’t even have the money to bribe anyone in the first place, or is it that you are so obsessed with
CHAPTER 48
The moment I saw the expressions on Mr. and Mrs. Davenport’s faces, I could not help the faint scoff that escaped me. It was not loud, nor was it dramatic, but it sounded enough to express exactly what I thought of the situation. The disbelief written across their features, the way their confidence had crumbled into something uncertain and fragile, it was ironic.For people who had spoken with such certainty just moments ago, they now looked completely lost.I tilted my head slightly as I regarded them, allowing a small, amused smile to settle on my lips.“Well,” I said calmly, my tone calm and unhurried, “good luck getting in.”The words were simple, but they landed with unmistakable meaning. I did not wait for a response, because there was nothing they could say that would change what had already been established.The guard, who had now fully shifted his attitude toward me, straightened immediately and bowed his head slightly in respect.“Sir,” he said politely, “please proceed
CHAPTER 47
For a brief second, no one spoke, and the silence that followed was heavy enough to press against the chest.Then, as expected, denial came.Mrs. Davenport was the first to recover, although “recover” would have been too generous a word. What she displayed was not composure, but resistance, an unwillingness to accept what was right in front of her.“That is not possible,” she said sharply, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade. She shook her head repeatedly, as if the physical motion alone could undo what she had just seen. “There must be some kind of error in that machine.”Her eyes darted between the screen and my face, searching desperately for something, anything, that would support her claim.“This does not make any sense,” she continued, her tone rising slightly. “He cannot be a VIP at this banquet. This is an event hosted by the president of Cardinia. Do you even understand what that means?”I watched her quietly for a moment, allowing her words to settle before r
