Edgar stood there without even uttering a word. It was so unbelievable to see a big name like Edgar, being called out as an ordinary Receptionist.

Rita found it so hard to believe what they said about Edgar. She walked out in defense, referring to the Director

“Are you sure you didn't take the wrong person for the right person?” She asked, her eyes all shoned out in vexation. “Because my soon to be son-in-law here is so rich to even apply for a mere job like this. He has his own company and he makes billions there. The digital department who arranged the profiles must have taken Mr Cayce for the wrong person and inserted his image there….”

“Is that so?” Franco asked immediately after Rita. “You try so much to defend your precious son-in-law who is nothing but a liar, thereby disregarding the evidence before you!”

“Why don't you take a look at him and ask him for a response or at least to defend himself from the accusations. Why is he keeping quiet like we are in a graveyard?”

She was shocked after hearing the name “Leo Armstrong”Leo used to be a very good partner of theirs but after some time, nobody ever heard from him again. He was rumored to have left the country so what is it that she is hearing that he now owns Narvis Corp.The same company he was rumored to have sold to Edgar Cayce?“And what's so special about that?” Elena was quick to defend her boyfriend. “Everyone in this place knows that Edgar here bought Narvis Corp from Leo Armstrong. So, it is not new that Narvis was once Leo's but now Edgar's….”“That's a LIE!” A voice echoed from behind, Cutting Elena's words off.They were all surprised to see the person who had made the remark. He was none other than Leo Armstrong.As Leo stood at the banquet exit with his hands stuck in his pocket. Franco smiled!Last night, he asked Dave to run a deep background check on Edgar and find out everything about him and his so-called company

    Though the party ended on a happy note, after Edgar and Elena left, Franco still had some questions to answer at home.“Where do you think you are going, huh?” Granny's voice echoed in the lounge after they had all returned from the banquet, stopping Franco from walking to his room.“I'm going up, to my room…”“To your room?” Granny asked, hitting her walk-stick on the ground. “Even after what happened today, you still have the Effrontery to sleep? What type of a fool are you?”Franco remained quiet. He wouldn't want to get into a fight with the old lady.“You always make it difficult for us in this family. You go about humiliating us everywhere you go. You just want to stain the hell out of the name of this family!” Granny's voice kept echoing in rage as she clutched to her walk-stick tightly, refusing to even look at Muna who was standing beside her.“After everything which happened today, Franco, I came to a decision!” Granny said, releasing the gravity at which she held the walk-s

    “Yes, Edgar and I are getting married this Saturday and you are invited!” Elena's voice stunned from nowhere. Franco looked up, seeing her, his agitation increased.He remembered instantly how Dave would call him and ask him which company he would like Elena to be partnering with.Franco remembered how many millions of dollars he spent on Elena; how he had endured all the pain of easily revealing his Identity to her and how he also made her company in the world chart as number three most loyal.As his brain accelerated all these taunting memories, Elena passed a glass of juice to Franco, jolting him out of his thoughts.“Have it!” She said, pushing the glass closer to him. “ I doubt you don't need it at this moment. I mean,who wouldn't it be so thirsty after hearing that his previous cute ex-wife is finally getting married again…”“Did you both invite me here to tell me about your marriage?” Franco asked, cutting Elena off.“Yes, Franco!” Edgar responded to Franco's query. “As Elena'

    Franco left straight to the Scott Mansion. He prayed nobody saw the task which he had left uncompleted before going to meet Edgar.But his hope didn't go as it seemed. When he arrived home, he was welcomed with the bucket of water flung across his face.Looking up, it was none other person but Granny. She stood there, glaring at him with a pissed expression, clutching her walk-stick tightly.“Where are you coming from, Franco?” Granny yelled.“I had some important tasks to complete….’“What is more important than doing the chores, huh? I gave you this task to complete as a punishment for your nonchalant behavior the other day but you neglected it and went out to do what pleases you. How disrespectful!” Granny didn't mind her age, she was still active in terms of scolding people she didn't like, especially someone like Franco.Franco, on the other hand, couldn't say a word. He could only keep his face bowed before the old Lady.“I am sorry, Granny…”“Sorry for yourself!” Granny cut hi

    With the images right before his face, Franco was astounded. He could only smile, finding it very hard to believe them.The image had Edgar and Mara having lunch in a VIP lounge. If he is not wrong, Mara doesn't have any connection with Edgar. The only relationship they share is Edgar's closeness to Elena so how on earth were they in that type of s setting seeming to have a cool conversation? But the images are clear.Another one had the both of them smiling at each other. That doesn't seem like normal pictures. There is no way they could be having a casual meal together.They seemed so attached but Franco was still baffled until he saw the image where Mara was feeding Edgar.“This is unbelievable!” Franco muttered to himself. “Has Edgar been cheating on Elena? But how long has this been going on?” He collected his phone and dialed Dave's number “Hello…” Dave answered the call.“When were the pictures taken? And every information you supplied here, are they legit?” Franco asked,

    Franco remained silent. He didn't react nor did he say anything to them in response.Mara was surprised. So, she is right? Franco's sudden silence proved it all– he is a spy indeed.Understanding this properly, Mara whispered to Edgar.“We were right when we said that this man here is a spy! Look at him, he is so timid and it's obvious that he is scared of that mask pulling off his nose!”Edgar turned to Franco, keeping his voice as low as possible. “I will advise you to open that mask of yours and let us see what you have got behind that mask!”“Refusal to do that will result in another problem and I promise, you won't like what I am bringing to the table….”“I am not a spy! I am only a worker here. I don't know you both and nobody sent me here” Franco made his voice so innocent but that didn't convince Edgar and Mara.It seemed like his time was up. Edgar dragged Franco's collar, raising the attention of other customers.“Since you don't want to pull off that mask, I will make you p

    Franco thought he had heard it all until Edgar responded to Mara's words.“I know that I am the father of your baby but I still know what my parental responsibility is! I have so many things on my shoulders and I wouldn't want your sister to be aware of our relationship. At least, not now that I am about to take over Froston Empire!”Franco scoffed. Everything was unbelievable but sadly, they are all true. Edgar wants nothing but Elena's property. He was once a rich man but even pretending to be rich again hasn't made his plan a successful one, so marrying Elena and making her transfer all of her properties to his name would definitely make a do.“So, what are you planning to do? I hope you are aware that Froston Empire is into a big loan and we need so much amount to pay off such a loan!” Mara said to Edgar, recollecting Franco's brain. “I know that this marriage is nothing to you. I believe that you are only marrying my sister because of her money. After taking over all of her prope

    “Work as a servant? At his ex-wife's wedding?” Franco couldn't hide his astonishment. What is Granny trying to force him to do? Of course, that is a very good way to bring him down to nothing– Serving as a SERVANT in Elena's wedding?“My husband won't be doing that!” Muna spoke up for Franco. “I won't sit and watch Franco serve his ex-wife….”“You better stay out of this, Muna!” Granny ranted, pinching Muna. “This man here doesn't deserve to be your husband! Just because I allowed him to stay here to complete the task doesn't mean he is cherished. He is not valued and you of all the people should be aware of that!”She turned to Franco immediately. “Now, you! You will do as I have told you. Make sure you are in those attire and leave before any of us tomorrow. Nothing must go wrong….”“But I'm not interested in doing this, Granny!” Franco objected to the offer, refusing to look at Rita who has those smiles of Victory surrounded on her face. “I have also been invited to the reception.

He puts the phone down and kisses Elena. “You are right, Elena. I can't seem to get over that idiot called Franco!” Adam uttered, Adam's tone dropped with disdain. “Seeing him go down has always been my priority and watching my plan become Successful is what I won't stop getting excited over!”“You are right, Adam” Elena supported, handing Adam a glass of coffee. “I also want to see Franco being condemned by everyone in this world and I must say that whoever uploaded that video did a great job.

    Franco's encounter with Adam increased his rage towards Adam. At first, he only believed Adam was hallucinating because he was so sure of himself that he never betrayed Adam in the past. But seeing this inhumane behavior of his, Franco was willing to make him pay!Dave had prepared a luxurious Villa for him to spend the night since Muna wouldn't allow him to sleep over at the Mansion.As he glared at the luxurious couch before him, Franco wouldn't stop clenching his hands.“I'm not a LOSER!” He yelled, punching the table before him.SCRRRRRAAAAThe glass table was broken. Dave quickly rushed to Franco, grabbing his bleeding hand.“Are you okay, My Lord?” He inquired, his face furrowed with concern.Franco took his hands off Dave's grip.“You don't have to ask me if I'm okay, Dave!” Franco pressed, his tone rising in anger. “There is nothing which hurts more than seeing your own wife send you Divorce papers and to even see that Adam had harbored all these plans against me. It all make

    Franco staggered a step back, his eyes locked onto Muna’s. At that moment, he felt shattered—like the floor beneath him had vanished. The wine in his system now churned into a nightmare.“Divorce papers?” he repeated, trying to make sense of what he had just heard. It was the last thing he expected, especially in such a short, crushing moment.“You can’t do this to me, Muna!” he exclaimed, reaching out to touch her, but she recoiled, pulling her hand far from his reach.“We can still talk about this, Muna,” he added, his voice edged with desperation. “This doesn’t have to end in divorce, right?”“I’m sure you understand the full meaning of privacy, Franco,” Muna replied coldly, her face twisting in disgust. “I could sue you just for trying to touch me.”“We agreed on a three-month contract,” she went on. “All the payment will be made to you. And if you're after alimony, I’ll make sure that’s sent as well. Just stay away from me, Franco!”“No, Muna…” he murmured helplessly.Without off

    Gasps rippled through the hall like a wave crashing against the walls. No one had anticipated such a reaction from Muna—not even Caleb, whose lips curled into a twisted, satisfied grin."Good job, Muna," he muttered under his breath, licking his lips with a sarcastic flair.Franco, however, was utterly blindsided. The slap stung more than just his cheek—it shattered his expectations. In his mind, he had imagined Muna would at least hear him out, maybe even show a hint of calm. But what he got was the complete opposite.Still, Franco wasn’t ready to give up. He refused to watch the future he envisioned crumble before his eyes.Pulling himself together, he took a bold step toward her. “I know you’re angry, Muna. I understand why. But please, just hear me out. Give me a chance to explain.”“There’s nothing left to explain, Franco!” Muna snapped, her voice slicing through the air. “You’ve shown everyone exactly where you came from! You’ve confirmed their every accusation—that you’re nothi

    As Franco glared at the projector before him, his brows shot up as he took a step back in astonishment.He couldn't believe it. The whole guests were already squeezing their faces, some pointing fingers at him while the murmur and side talks increased.Franco on the other hand still had his head rotating, trying to remember what happened and how they took that video because as he was there, he doesn't remember a DIME about that footage.So, if he doesn't remember doing that, it means someone manipulated all that!Franco turned his look at Caleb who was already smiling, he then looked forward and saw Adam. He was smiling as well and that smile doesn't look like an ordinary one.While the whole guests were left bewildered and disappointed, only he and Caleb seemed very happy. This told Franco that something was wrong.Well, Adam wasn't done yet. He wanted to take the issue to another level, so he changed his expression as if he didn't know what was going on.He turned to the guests, pul

    Adam's homecoming party was held at Skye Bar, a glamorous venue owned by GLC under the Ruffian Group, generally headed by Franco Milton. The entire banquet hall had been decorated beautifully, tailored perfectly to Adam Khan’s taste. He had made sure to invite Franco personally to this grand occasion—so the man who once watched him fall could now watch him rise again, even after being framed. But when Adam looked around and didn't see Franco, he was astounded. The entire Scott family was present, but Franco was nowhere in sight. Adam was about to be called to the stage to receive his honorary welcome, and he couldn’t shake the feeling of irritation—Franco had to see him walk that stage. As Muna and Granny mingled with other guests, Adam and Elena approached them. Noticing their presence, Muna politely excused herself from the guests and turned sharply—her eyes narrowing at the sight of Elena holding Adam’s hand like a rightful wife. “And what brought you both here? Especially yo

    When Franco regained consciousness, he found himself on the hotel bed.He put his hands on his head because they hurt badly.“God! What happened?” Franco groaned, checking his wrist watch for the time.He tried to remember what happened before he slept off and why he was sleeping. But he couldn't remember a thing.The last thing he remembered was the steward serving him a glass of juice whole he was waiting for Muna's entrance.“It is already two hours and Muna is not here!” Franco thought to himself. “What could be keeping her from coming?”He inquired from himself before his phone started vibrating. He searched for his phone and later found it on the seat.He answered the call.“Hello!” “Where are you, Franco?” It was Muna on the call. Franco immediately remembered that Muna had asked him to come to the hotel. He glanced at the phone in confusion.“It's been two Hours already, Muna but you are not here. You asked me to come over to the hotel, didn't you?”“What hotel are you talki

    Sarah continued walking closer to Franco with her exposed breasts. As she did this, Franco found it difficult to hold onto her.He was unsure if it was truly Muna coming to him or another person.But he wasn't sure what to believe. The drink he had was manipulative. He wouldn't only see Muna in Sarah, he would also be tipsy so he wouldn't be able to realise his right from his left.“Is that you, Muna?” Franco asked, holding his head. His head hurt but he ignored it.Sarah finally got close to him. She started glaring at him, almost lost in love at first sight.“Honestly, I have never seen a man as handsome as he is. He is so handsome….” She muttered to herself. “I am not doing this for the money. I am doing this to satisfy myself because he is so handsome. Let me get into business!”She added and grabbed Franco's hands. She placed his hands on her boobs and made him squeeze them.The camera captured this immediately. “Do you like them?” Sarah asked Franco, adjusting her sitting posit

    Morning came so quick and Muna had to leave for work. She has a business which will begin in two hours.Just like you know, Franco has to be up on time to prepare breakfast for her. This he did and was in the Kitchen when Caleb walked out.He has a motive. He wanted to get hold of Muna's phone so he could easily text Franco the address to meet up with her.So, he waited until Muna ate.“I'm out…” Muna said out loud, walking out of the mansion. The moment she wanted to leave the house, she bumped into Caleb who hit her so hard on her shoulder, making her items fall off.Caleb quickly got down, packing her bag which had dropped. “I am sorry, Muna!” He Uttered as he continued packing her bag “No, it's okay. It was my fault as well, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going” Muna responded.Caleb handed her her bag. “Take, I packed them for you!” “Thank you” Muna greeted, smiling happily at Caleb. “I will be on my way already!” She walked forward, leaving the mansion.
