“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

As soon as Greg answered, on the other end, a furious voice erupted instantly.“Fred! You idiot! What the hell have you done?” his father roared. “Our shareholders are dumping shares like garbage! The stock price is collapsing in real time!”Fred’s expression stiffened. “W-what… Father, what are you talking about?”“Don’t act stupid with me!” the man barked. “Every major investor has pulled out. All our partners have suspended ongoing projects with Nelson Company. Financial institutions are demanding immediate loan repayments. We are being forced into liquidation! Do you understand what that means?”Fred’s lips trembled. His confident posture from moments ago shattered instantly.“I… I didn’t do anything,” he stammered. “I was just at an event at Aurelios Group’s partner celebration…”“Then you must have offended someone there!” his father snapped. “Someone powerful enough to destroy us in minutes! Tell me, Fred—who did you cross?!”But Fred couldn’t answer.His throat had gone dry. H

Upon hearing Alina’s words, Fred’s expression tightened with visible disappointment.She was still defending Greg.Even after everything he had said, she stood her ground without hesitation, as though none of his warnings or insults carried any weight at all.Fred exhaled sharply.For a brief moment, something like frustration flickered in his eyes.Meanwhile, Greg let out a soft amused chuckle.That single reaction irritated Fred further. It made it feel like Fred was a fool. Fred was furious within him, however, he tried to mask it, forcing a cold smile, trying to regain control of the situation.“You’re really something,” Fred said, shaking his head. “Still clinging to this dimwit after everything?"He turned slightly toward Greg.“You’re nothing but a loser. A man with no direction, no status, or worth.”His gaze shifted briefly to Alina.“It’s honestly a waste. A woman like her tied down to someone like you. Let her go. Step aside. I can give her everything a loser like you will
