Margaret looked at him and felt slightly embarrassed by the question. “Huh? What are you talking about?" She replied, confused.Jonathan didn't flinch. "Margaret, stop acting like you don't know how I genuinely love you. I love you from the depth of my heart, and I'm ready to give you everything—support, money—anything that you want. Just accept me.” He confessed genuinely.Margaret's face was etched with a frown as she looked back at him. “Jonathan, I t

Chapter 25: Golden Crest Restaurant II
Chapter 25As the voice thundered, everywhere instantly fell silent as everyone instinctively turned toward the source of the roar. The music immediately stopped playing. Then….Four rough-looking men stormed into the room. The one appearing to be the leader wore a black suit with the top buttons open, revealing several thick gold chains around his neck. His hands were adorned with countless old-fashioned rings, the regalia between his lips producing a cloudy smoke as he occasionally dragged it in and popped it out. He held a pistol casually with his left hand. Behind him, three other men stood. The one whose hair hadn't been barbed or combed stood, holding a baton, with a grim expression. The second man held a curved, blunt machete, looking extremely dangerous, while the last man wore a loosely thick, shabby jacket, his grip tightened around two beer bottles in both hands. Immediately, everyone's gaze at the restaurant fell on them; they jerked backward in their seats, shrinkin
Chapter 24: Golden Crest Restaurant I
Chapter 24Margaret looked at him and felt slightly embarrassed by the question. “Huh? What are you talking about?" She replied, confused.Jonathan didn't flinch. "Margaret, stop acting like you don't know how I genuinely love you. I love you from the depth of my heart, and I'm ready to give you everything—support, money—anything that you want. Just accept me.” He confessed genuinely. Margaret's face was etched with a frown as she looked back at him. “Jonathan, I think you need to stop this. You know I'm already married. Besides, I'm not the only beautiful lady in the world; there are thousands of beautiful ladies out there who'd be interested in you if you approach them,” she advised.But Jonathan wasn't having it. "But it's you my heart beats for, Margaret, and it's high time you noticed that." Subsequently, his expression changed. “And why are you still referring to that useless being as your husband? Margaret, Henry has got nothing
Chapter 23: Inside the Car
Chapter 23Henry took the menu and scanned through the pages carefully. Finally, he looked up. “Fried rice and chicken with a bottle of juice," he replied. The waiter tilted her head and quickly jotted down the orders. When done, she then said, "Alright, noted. I'll have the kitchen notified, and your orders will be ready and brought to you shortly. And I do hope you'll enjoy it.”With that, the waiter bowed her head slightly and turned before exiting, leaving Henry alone at his table.Henry reluctantly leaned backward on his seat, his arms resting casually on the table. He just stared at nothing in particular. A few seconds passed as he remained seated without necessarily shifting in his seat. Just then, the thought of what had happened back there at the Graham family villa came rushing back into his head. From the way Jonathan's fingers were lingering on Margaret's shoulders, all in the name of fastening a necklace around her neck, to when Margaret slapped him twice after he int
Chapter 22: Henry Enters Golden Crest Restaurant
Chapter 22Henry halted in his steps and slowly turned with a frown plastered on his face. One of the security guards walking around the area had stopped him.Walking closer to Henry, the security guard looked at him from head to toe. Henry was dressed in one of his old clothes, not the new ones that he had recently bought from the clothing store. After scrutinizing him, the security guard believed Henry didn't belong here. “I’m sorry, but you can't go inside.” Henry raised an eyebrow. "Why?” "We don't allow beggars here,” the security guard snorted coldly. "If you go inside, I might lose my job. Please, you have to leave.”Henry's frown deepened. "And who said I'm here to beg?” The security guard swallowed hard, looking at him. He hesitated. "Then why are you here?” He asked. Henry sighed. "What do people come here to do in the first place?” "To eat, of course.”Henry sighed. "Then, that's why I am.” Following that response, the security guard stared at Henry, shaking his hea
Chapter 21: Margaret takes Jonathan to the Hospital
Chapter 21Henry's heart sank. His eyes narrowed. Margaret hadn't spoken to him in this manner since they were married.“Is it because of him you're talking to me like that?" He asked, pointing at Jonathan. “I can speak to you in whichever way I want! Or who do you think you are? You're absolutely a nobody! A jealous someone who couldn't stand to see another man touch me, yet can't fulfill my slightest wish.Oh, I get it now. You wanted me to applaud you for injuring him. Is that what you are only good at? I guess my parents weren't wrong when they said you were just good-for-nothing; I can see it now!" Every word cut through Henry's heart like a sharp blade piercing through an overripe banana. Henry's heart clenched tightly. Although he was wealthy now and could have waved Margaret’s words off, those words hit him hard; tears formed in his eyes. He had never believed a day like this would come when Margaret would talk to him like this. "I—” Henry opened his mouth to speak, onl
Chapter 20: Margaret Cusses Henry
Chapter 20 As Margaret collected the velvet box, she opened it to reveal a delicate crystal necklace. The necklace was no doubt a breathtaking masterpiece, crafted from pure platinum and adorned with a flawless, rare blue diamond at its center. Smaller diamonds were delicately arranged around it, catching the light with every movement. Its design was elegant yet unmistakably luxurious. Margaret gasped the moment she brought it out of the box, staring at it. Dorcas couldn't control herself either. She quickly took the necklace from Margaret, carefully scrutinizing it with wide eyes. Jonathan couldn't stop grinning in satisfaction as he sat there observing the expressions on both Margaret's and Dorcas's faces. He was content to see their shocked expressions. “This is... genuine!” Her mouth gaped in astonishment. “Of course, it is," Jonathan nodded proudly. Looking up, Dorcas stared at Jonathan. "How much did you buy it for?” "Twenty thousand dollars,” Jonathan casua
