Peter walked back into the auction hall and settled into his seat, pretending as though he hadn’t seen anything while the memory of what he had just witnessed continued replaying in his head. “Why would Helen hand that man an envelope with the company’s logo on it?” Peter asked himself. “Does this mean she’s the spy Valentina was talking about?” he wondered after catching Helen red-handed, handing a strange man a large brown envelope that clearly belonged to the company, judging by the official logo printed on it. Just as he was still thinking about it, Helen returned to the hall, her face completely normal, as if nothing had happened at all. When she sat down, Peter kept glancing at her from the corner of his eye before asking sarcastically, “Where have you been? A phone call couldn’t have possibly taken you this long.” He asked intentionally, wanting to see what excuse she would come up with. “Oh, I, uh... went to use the restroom afterward. I was really pressed,” Helen
Chapter 150 ~ Veronica Graham
"Lu... cia?" Catherine stammered, happiness surging through her at the sight of her remaining child, the very daughter she had mistreated since childhood. Catherine was in terrible shape. An utterly terrible shape. She looked old, far older than her actual age. Anyone who saw her would say she was a walking corpse. Perhaps even the dead looked better than she did. Her chest was severely emaciated, her skin pale, and her hair had been cut short. Her lips were dark, and her eyeballs appeared more prominent than they used to be. Those were some of the physical changes associated with cancer, but there had to be more to her condition than that. Judging by her appearance, something was terribly wrong. "Lucia, my child," Catherine whispered between jarggered breaths, stretching out a trembling hand toward her daughter. Lucia hesitated, contemplating whether she should even acknowledge those wrinkled hands reaching out to her. I mean, why should she? All her life, her mother had
Chapter 149 ~ Exposing the Traitors 2
Thomas, Margaret, and Peter sat together at the long dining table, enjoying a variety of dishes as the chefs and maids moved around them, serving food, pouring wine, and attending to their other duties. The atmosphere was filled with immense joy on that wonderful evening. However, beneath the happiness, jealousy had also found its way into the room. "So, Peter, I heard you secured the prime estate the company had been struggling to acquire. And you did it with your own money," Thomas said, initiating a conversation as the sound of cutlery clinking against plates filled the room. Peter paused for a moment and took a sip of chilled water to clear his throat before speaking. "Well, yeah, I did, but... it's not exactly my money," he said. "It's the allowance Oscar gives me every month. So, technically, the money belongs to you." "No, no," Thomas interrupted. "It's your money," he said, looking at Peter. "You've been deprived of twenty years with us. You deserve even more. Any mo
Chapter 148 ~ Exposing the Traitors
"What is it?" Peter asked, curious. "Is everything all right?" Lucia turned her gaze toward the window before speaking. "I'm fine, but as for my mother, I don't think she is." Peter looked bewildered. He looked confused. "What happened to your mother?" he asked. Lucia turned to face him, their eyes meeting as she began to explain. "I received a strange call from her the other day. She said she wanted me to visit her at the hospital and insisted it was urgent. I feel... I feel like something might be wrong with her," she said. "O—kay?" Peter stammered, waiting for her to say more, clearly expecting her to explain how she had responded to her mother's request. Lucia looked at him, understanding what he meant by his hesitant response. She sighed uncomfortably before speaking. "I didn't give her an answer, but I don't want to go." "What? Are you out of your mind?" Peter asked, stunned. "She's your mother, Lucia." "Was!" Lucia's voice boomed with annoyance, echoing through the em

Chapter 146 ~ Peacemaker
Everyone paused for a brief moment, finding the idea utterly ridiculous. "Peter Lawson, you can't even afford a decent outfit. What makes you think you can afford a nine-hundred-and-seventy-thousand-dollar Celestia Diamond Birkin?" Evelyn burst out laughing, prompting the other staff members to join in. Peter smiled. "How about... we make a deal?" he asked with a mischievous grin. "A deal?" Evelyn scoffed. "What deal could you possibly win against me? Have you forgotten how you always lost to me back in high school?" Peter remained quiet, choosing not to say anything foolish. He had a better idea. He would play dumb for as long as necessary, then use Evelyn's own words against her. "If I can buy this bag, you'll get down on both knees and beg for my forgiveness... for everything you've done to me since high school, including what you've done here today," Peter said, his expression turning stern. "Are you out of your damn mind?" Mr. Harrison snapped. "You want my girlfriend to k
