79. The Award Presentation Gone Wrong!
Notwithstanding whatever they had in mind about him, Franco walked to the stage.He arrived there and flashed Adam with a sharp, painful grin full of mockery. “Thank you, Mr Khan!” Franco said, taking the microphone from Adam.As Franco shook hands with the Host, Adam boiled more and more.That's the same man he planned to ruin, standing on the stage as a big shot. The worst part is that he wholeheartedly called Franco onto the stage, meaning that Franco was a big time worthier than him.Adam took his leave from the stage. He couldn't stand Franco's presence, and the flying cameras might capture his agitated face, so it was better that he left as early as it was possible!When he got to his seat, Elena bombarded him with several questions. “How on earth did that Franco end up being the big shot? Didn't they see how worthless he is before asking him to take the place of a special Guest?”Adam simply ignored Elena, still fuming over what just happened. “I know how sad and bad it feels
78. The Big Shot!
Although Adam was irritated by what Franco had said earlier, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had actually made a point. But what exactly did Franco mean? The thought dipped at his mind like a thorn in his side.Just then, Elena’s soft hands slid down his chest, drawing him back to the moment.“Come on, Adam,” she said sweetly, her voice wrapping around him like silk. “Don’t let Franco get into your head. His words are as worthless as he is.”Her mother, Rita, quickly chimed in with a scoff, “Elena is right, Mr. Khan. Franco’s nothing but a waste of space. Forget whatever nonsense he told you.”Adam nodded, slowly at first, then with a confident grin. He wanted to believe them—and part of him did. After all, he was Adam Khan. He always came out on top. Franco, on the other hand, was a loser. He always had been—and always would be.“You’re right, Lena,” Adam said with a smirk. “Franco is a failure. And no matter how he tries to rattle me about this award show, I won’t fall for it.
77. We Are Getting Married In Two Weeks!
Franco didn’t stop twisting Eddie’s wrist. Even with all the screams and shouts from Eddie, Franco held on tight. His grip didn’t loosen, not even for a second. His body shook with anger as he pressed harder, his eyes full of fire.The crowd around them stood still, their mouths open in shock.“How did Franco suddenly become this strong?” someone whispered.But Franco didn’t care. He could hear the murmurs, feel their stares, but none of that mattered. Eddie had made the mistake of touching Muna. And for that, Franco wanted him to pay.“Franco, stop!” Muna’s voice rang loud.Franco’s hand paused slightly, but he still didn’t let go.“I said let go of Eddie!” Muna screamed again, her voice sharper now.Franco hesitated. His breath came in fast and loud. Finally, after a few seconds, he released Eddie’s hand. Eddie stumbled back quickly, holding his wrist and groaning in pain.He stepped away to recover. Thankfully, his ankle wasn’t twisted. If it was, he might have left the place limpi

What could be the reason behind this outfit, Mr Milton?” One of the reporters had questioned. “If I'm not wrong, that is over $200 million in your body. I think you are the same worthless Ex-husband of Miss Scott?”Franco adjusted his shade. He looked at Muna and her family, smiles curling up his lips. Sighting the curious expression they were wearing, Franco looked up at the reporter. “Like they say– Never judge a book by its cover. Not everything you heard in the Media about me is true. I am a hardworking man with a good salary. I have the right to buy quality things for myself!” They all nodded in agreement to what Franco had said.To act like Franco's dress doesn't matter to them, Granny hit her stick on the ground, grabbing their attention. “Let's not give Franco the attention he seeks. We should get going already!”She said, walking out first. Just as the others were about to leave, Franco's voice came up.“You all don't seem to be happy to meet your long seen son-in-law. Are

“Wedding invitation card?” Muna snapped, shooting a furious glare at her Granny. She stared at the card again—beautifully decorated with gold foil edges and elegant fonts. But what caught her attention the most was the bold, thick inscription across the center: “Beautiful Union Between Muna Scott And Eddie Watson!” Her heart dropped. Granny had already prepared a wedding invitation card for her and Eddie—without asking for her permission? “Yes, Muna,” Granny replied with a proud smile, as if nothing was wrong. “That’s just a sample of the official wedding invitation card. It’s being printed for you and Mr. Watson. What do you think? Isn’t it lovely?” Muna gritted her teeth, folded the card in half, and threw it across the room. “How can you ask me if I like a wedding invitation card I knew nothing about? You went behind my back to fix my marriage to Eddie without even asking me if I wanted to marry him? How could you, Granny?” The card hit the floor and rolled under a chair. Gra

73. The Envelope!
At the Scotts’ Mansion, Muna sat at her desk, eyes locked on the papers before her. She was supposed to be signing some important documents, but her mind had other plans. The last few days had been nothing short of hell.She had been trying, really trying, to erase Franco from her mind—to convince herself that he was a liar, a cheat. But it wasn't that easy. Especially not when he kept denying everything so passionately.Lost in thoughts of Franco, Muna couldn’t focus on the contract anymore. Her fingers froze on the paper. With a sigh, she closed the folder and pushed the documents aside. Franco’s words echoed in her head again.“I didn’t cheat on you, Muna. This was all a setup.”“I went to that hotel because you messaged me. You asked me to meet you there. I had no idea it was a trap. I didn’t even know something was wrong until I woke up and saw that video.”Her head dropped into her hands. She pressed her fingers against her temples as if trying to stop it from exploding. The mor
72. There Are More To Come!
Adam let out a dry, bitter laugh that barely reached his eyes.“Hmph!” he scoffed, eyes narrowing. “Kneel before you or walk out of this boutique?”He shook his head in disbelief. “You’re clearly the most foolish man alive, Franco. And honestly, I’d be just as foolish if I dropped to my knees and begged you.”Adam’s features hardened, his expression darkening with disdain. “I’d rather die a hundred times over than lower myself to that level. Over my dead body, Franco!”The moment those words left Adam’s mouth, Franco’s lips curled into a smirk of twisted satisfaction. He wasn’t disappointed in Adam’s refusal to kneel. On the contrary—he looked pleased, like a predator who had cornered his prey and confirmed the weakness he’d suspected all along.That grin lasted longer than necessary, his pride swelling with every second.“You’ve just revealed exactly who you are, Adam…” Franco said coldly. “A man of no value. You carry yourself like someone important in this society, but you’d rather
071: Beg Or Leave!
Franco kept his hand in his pocket, not moving an inch. He was smiling and swinging happily. Those who used to mock him were now kneeling in front of him. That felt good—really good.He looked at them with pride, then slowly turned to face Adam Khan. Seeing Adam’s face made him even more pleased.Adam’s hand was shaking. His lips were trembling, and his face looked pale. He was so angry, he could barely hide it. The way he stared at Franco said it all—PURE HATRED “I want to make this a bit more fun,” Franco suddenly said, breaking the silence.Gerald and the boys looked at him, shocked. They honestly thought he would say something like, “Alright. I forgive you.”But instead, he went the other way.As everyone kept staring at him, Nathan stepped forward and cleared his throat, trying to sound friendly.“What’s wrong, my lord?” he asked with a light smile. “Is there something you want them to do for you? Or they did anything bad? Just say it—I’ll make sure they do it.”Elena frowned wh
