Betty noticed the growing disturbance near the table and quickly made her way through the crowd. Her steps were steady, her expression calm and professional.“Sorry,” she said as she reached them, voice clear enough for the nearby guests to hear. “How can I be of help? What’s happening here?”Cory turned toward her at once, still gripping the wine bottle. He wasted no time launching into his story, voice loud and full of outrage. He claimed Marcus had deliberately brought him a bottle containing sulfites despite knowing his severe allergy. He insisted he never requested the wine. Mrs. Leah stood beside him, nodding firmly in support of every word.When Cory finished, Betty looked at Marcus.Marcus met her eyes without hesitation. “It’s a lie,” he said quietly. “He asked for this exact bottle by name. I refused at first, checked the system, confirmed his Platinum access, and only then brought it.”Betty studied his face for only a second. She knew exactly who Marcus was. He did not li

Marcus let out a quiet sigh before looking at Cory. He no longer had the patience to entertain meaningless arguments. Without another word, he gestured toward the banquet hall. "Please come in." A smug smile spread across Cory's face. He walked inside alongside Mrs. Leah while Marcus calmly led them through the elegantly decorated hall before stopping at one of the reserved VIP tables. "This is your table." Marcus politely pulled out their chairs before stepping back. "If there's anything you need during the event, please let me know." Mrs. Leah looked at him with open disdain. "I've never seen someone this shameless," she scoffed. "After everything we said, you're still standing there smiling. Do you have no self-respect at all?" Marcus didn't respond. Meanwhile, Cory had arrived at a similar conclusion. He looked at Marcus for a few seconds before shaking his head with a faint laugh. He totally believed Marcus was a very low life bastard. After taking his seat, Cory casual

Today, was the Langstone partnership Appreciation Night. amid the gathering was Betty and Marcus, who was the event planner. The venue wasn't large, but it radiated elegance. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm golden glow across the polished wooden floor, while soft jazz drifted through hidden speakers. Round tables draped in ivory cloth were decorated with fresh white lilies and flickering candles. At the far end, a banner bearing the Langstone Group's emblem stood behind a small stage where the executives would later deliver their speeches. Waiters in crisp uniforms moved quietly through the room with trays of champagne and appetizers, attending only to the carefully selected guests. Every year, Langstone Group hosted this exclusive Partnership Appreciation Night. It wasn't a public event, nor was it meant to attract media attention. Only trusted partners, long-term investors, senior executives, and a handful of influential business figures received invitations. The gathering wa

Julia's smile slowly faded as she looked at Cory in surprise. The confession had completely caught her off guard. She had expected many things from their reunion, but this was certainly not one of them. After taking a quiet breath to collect her thoughts, she looked at him with an apologetic expression. "Cory, what are you saying? We barely know each other anymore. Yes, we were childhood friends, but we only reunited yesterday after fifteen years apart". Cory smiled bitterly, "Julia, it may seem sudden to you, but these feelings aren't new. I've loved you since we were children. Back then, I didn't fully understand what love was, but I knew I always wanted to be with you. When I left this city, I made myself a promise that I would only come back after becoming someone worthy of standing beside you. Everything I've done over the last fifteen years was for that goal. Not a single day passed without me thinking about you, wondering how you were doing, and hoping that when I finally re

Mrs. Leah let out a scornful laugh. "Absolutely nothing. He's completely useless. Julia has been making a name for herself in this city through her own hard work, especially because of the Senate project she earned through her own abilities. That fellow hasn't contributed a single thing. He's just living off her." Hearing that, Cory's expression eased considerably. "If that's the case," he said, "then once they separate, everything should work out naturally." He took out his phone and smiled. "Aunt Leah... let me send you another two million naira. Consider it a small token of appreciation." A moment later, Mrs. Leah's phone vibrated. She looked at the notification, and her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. The transfer had already arrived. Her smile grew so wide that it was impossible to hide. "Really? You actually sent it!". Then, without thinking twice, she laughed happily. "Good son-in-law, don't worry. Leave Julia to me. Rest assured... Julia will become yours." T
