“Forgive me,” Vivien murmured, bowing her head in regret.Selina’s lips curled into a triumphant sneer as everyone’s faces turned sour toward Vivien.“Don’t you know any manners? You should never give your own gift to someone else—it’s like you don’t even appreciate it.” Selina scolded, pretending to be wise, trying to turn everyone against Vivien. Especially Aaron.Women whispered and snickered, while the men looked disappointed in Vivien’s choice. As fellow guys, they could understand how Aaron felt.“I told her to do it.” Alexis’s voice cut through the tension. “Stop blaming Vivien.”“You did what?!” Aaron’s eyes nearly popped out. He was furious, but held himself back. Who was this guy, that Vivien would listen to him?“Why the hell did you do that?!” Gene snapped, eager to play hero in front of Aaron. When else would he meet the world’s sixth‑richest son? He wanted Aaron’s sympathy so his family business could boom like the others’.“Because we were accused of being thieves by a

A look of admiration curved Selina’s sexy lips as she kept her eyes on Nicolas. She had always admired the man’s personality. He always seemed cold and indifferent to everything around him, but deep down, she knew he was always paying attention.“You have a point,” Lauren said, clearly stunned.“Then what’s Simson’s reason for doing all this, dude?” Gene Costner, Nicolas’s close friend, asked curiously. Crazy rich family drama always attracted everyone’s attention—including his.“No idea. What’s strange is that he didn’t even show up at the party or hold a press conference. He just sent his lawyer.”“I’m getting curious about who actually owns Morris Corp,” Gene muttered.Everyone silently agreed with him.“I didn’t know children of billionaires liked gossip too,” Alexis commented with a soft chuckle.Immediately, everyone shot Alexis a sharp glare.“You weren’t invited, so shut up,” Lauren snapped.“I was just sharing my thoughts.”“You don’t need to get mad, Lauren. I’m pretty sure

Alexis cast a sidelong glance at Vivien, who kept admiring the watch Aaron had given her, an irritated look flickering across his face. It only got worse when she couldn’t stop smiling at it.“I want to buy that watch,” Alexis said coolly, snapping Vivien out of her thoughts.“I’m sorry, Young Master… what do you mean?”“I’ll give you something far better—more elegant, more expensive. But in return, you’ll have to give that watch to your friend as a birthday gift. We don’t have time to shop for another one.”Vivien paused, clearly considering it.“Well?” Alexis asked, his tone soft but firm.“Alright.” Vivien smiled, unable to defy her boss’s order.Alexis felt a small surge of satisfaction. He didn’t like the idea of Aaron using that watch to get close to Vivien—or to impress her. As a man himself, he could see through Aaron’s little game.Half an hour later, they arrived at one of the trendiest cafés in town, popular among the younger crowd.“Didn’t you say your friend was throwing

The more Alexis was challenged, the more determined he became to slap the truth in everyone's face—that he could buy every watch in this store if he wanted to.He strode toward the counter with confidence, but Vivien quickly grabbed his arm. “Alexis, please. If you do this, Selina will make it go viral. She loves spreading rumors, real or not. And if that happens, it won’t take long for the mafia to figure out who you are.”“But—”“I’m begging you, don’t let my father’s sacrifice, or mine, be in vain.” Her voice trembled as her eyes glistened with tears.Alexis let out a heavy sigh. He could never stand seeing her like this.“Alright… whatever you want,” he relented.Vivien bowed deeply to everyone around them. “We apologize for the unnecessary scene. We’re leaving now.”Just as they stepped toward the door, an alarm blared.They froze.Selina smirked silently. Her plan had worked.“Just like I said—she’s a thief.”“How dare you! Security!”The guards rushed over and searched Vivien’s

Vincenzo growled in fury, but he didn’t dare go against Mateo. He was terrified the man would spill his secrets.“Damn it! This is such a mess!”“What are you still standing there for?” one of the guests sneered. “Get lost! You don’t belong here!”Laughter erupted.Vincenzo’s fists clenched tightly. In his entire life, he’d never been humiliated like this.“No! This is a lie! You bastards!”THUD!Mateo stumbled back as Vincenzo’s fist slammed into his face.“You bastard! How dare you lay a hand on my master!”Four of Mateo’s bodyguards instantly retaliated, beating Vincenzo to the ground. Female guests screamed in terror, while the men stood frozen, tension stiffening their jaws.No one dared intervene—not when it came to the rightful heir of Morris Corp.“What the hell are you all doing?! Help me!” Vincenzo roared at his own men, who stood rooted in fear.The head bodyguard looked down at him coldly, unaffected by his bruises. “If you’re not the heir to Morris Corp, then you’re just

Vincenzo grinned with satisfaction as he stared at the forged signature of Raymond carved on his grandfather’s will.“Finally, I’ve taken full control of Grandpa’s fortune! No one can stop me now, not even that damn Raymond!”The man who had helped him forge the signature gave him a smug smile. “My job here is done. Congratulations on your success, Boss.”“You deserve a bonus for this. Hold on a sec.” Vincenzo signaled with a flick of his finger. Three men in black suits, wearing Bluetooth earpieces, walked in carrying three suitcases filled with cash.“Pleasure doing business with you,” Vincenzo said, still grinning.After the man left, Vincenzo called his assistant, Vivien.“Tomorrow, I want you to arrange a grand inauguration ceremony. Make sure you invite all the media, the top business families, and the biggest celebrities. They all need to witness the moment I’m officially named the heir of Morris Corp and crowned the richest man in the world!” He chuckled arrogantly, taking a l
