Greg's eyes remained fixed on the notification on his phone.A tracking application he had previously installed on him and Alina's phone for emergencies had finally locked onto her location. The signal was active and moving no longer.Which meant Alina was being held somewhere.His expression instantly darkened.A dangerous glint flashed through his eyes.For the first time that night, genuine anger surfaced because someone had dared to touch his wife.Claire noticed his sudden change."Greg?" she called cautiously.Laura also stepped forward as well."Greg, please listen to us. My father is waiting. We need to discuss Aurelios Group—"Greg didn't even look at them.His eyes remained on the map displayed on his phone.The blinking red dot marked Alina's exact location several miles away from the hotel in a remote area on the outskirts of Belton.His jaw tightened.Without another word, he brushed past both women.Claire froze."Greg!"Laura hurried after him."Greg, stop! At least he

Before the members of the Gatwick family could locate Greg, an unfamiliar tension began to creep into his chest.It wasn’t panic—Greg rarely panicked—but something was wrong.He checked his watch again. Fifteen minutes.Alina had gone to the restroom fifteen minutes ago and still hadn’t returned.His eyes narrowed slightly as he sat alone in his car parked at the far corner of the underground garage, away from the main entrance. Greg exhaled slowly.“Too long,” he muttered under his breath.Alina was not careless. She was not the type to wander off or delay without reason. Something felt off. Very off.He opened the car door and stepped out briskly.Inside the venue, the Gatwick family was still in chaos.They were scattered across the hall, corridors, and entrance areas, searching for Greg like men chasing a shadow. Security had been alerted. Staff were questioned. Guests were confused.But no one had any idea that Greg was not even inside the hall.He was in the garage.Completely

“This cannot be happening…” Scott muttered under his breath.He had been so confident and certain.But now he wasn’t even sure what he was standing on.His pride as the family patriarch pushed him forward again. He straightened his back sharply.“No,” he said aloud, voice tightening with urgency. “We must fix this immediately. The Gatwick family will not become a laughingstock.”But even as he spoke, uncertainty flickered across his eyes.Claire suddenly pushed through the crowd.Her face was pale, her earlier arrogance completely gone. Without hesitation, she rushed to where Scott and Amelia stood and dropped to her knees in front of Amelia.Gasps erupted around the hall.“Miss Amelia!” Claire cried, grabbing the hem of Amelia’s dress. “Please! Tell us what we did wrong! We can fix it! We can apologize properly!”Her voice cracked with desperation.Scott turned sharply. “Claire—get up! You are embarrassing the family!”But Claire didn’t move.She had already lost everything in her mi

The moment Scott announced that the CEO of Aurelios Group was present in the hall, the entire atmosphere shifted instantly.For a split second, there was silence.Then—the hall erupted.Loud cheers and thunderous applause filled the grand venue as guests rose to their feet in excitement. Glasses were lifted, smiles widened, and conversations turned into ecstatic murmurs.“The CEO is here!”“We’re finally going to see him!”“This is historic for Gatwick Investments!”People who had spent the entire evening speculating now felt a surge of validation. Some had claimed they already knew who the CEO was. Others insisted they had connections to Aurelios Group. But deep down, most of them were wrong.None of them truly knew.And none of them suspected the truth.Not even the Gatwick family.Scott stood proudly at the front, enjoying the attention as the applause continued. Deg, now positioned near the stage, straightened his posture, basking in the importance of the moment. Whispers began t

Amelia stood out the moment she entered the hall.She wore a short blue dress that hugged her figure elegantly, paired with matching sapphire earrings that shimmered each time she moved. The combination was simple, yet breathtaking. Every step she took seemed to carry quiet authority and charm at once.Men in the hall couldn’t help but steal glances.Some pretended to look away.Others stared too long before realizing they were being obvious.Even some of the older businessmen—men who normally maintained strict composure—found their attention briefly drawn to her presence.She was not just beautiful. She was powerful beauty.Scott stepped forward soon after her arrival, standing at the front of the hall where all eyes naturally shifted. He adjusted his suit, cleared his throat, and smiled broadly.“Ladies and gentlemen,” he began proudly, “first, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Aurelios Group for their trust in Gatwick Investments. This partnership is a milestone in ou

The grand hall of the Gatwick family celebration shimmered under golden chandeliers, each crystal reflecting light like scattered stars. Every seat was filled with elegance and expectation. The Gatwick family had gathered in full force, dressed in their finest suits and gowns, each one accompanied by friends, allies, and ambitious connections hoping to witness history unfold.Deg sat proudly near the front, flanked by Mica and several close relatives. Joyce was seated not far away, radiant in an elegant dress, her fiancé Joe sitting beside her with the calm confidence of someone who believed he had already stepped into a privileged future.Joe Collins was the heir of the Collins family—respected, wealthy, and steadily rising in Belton’s second-tier elite circles. He had a composed smile and a polished demeanor, the kind that made people instinctively adjust their posture around him. Tonight, he had brought along his close friend, Mac, a strikingly handsome young man whose presence alo
