Gabriel chuckled, flashing a playful smirk behind the mask.“Pevita, I think you can see where I am. I’m right here at the front, on the stage. I’m looking right at you,” he explained.Louis and Joseph realized that the masked man on stage was speaking to Pevita. The people around them slowly caught on as well, turning their gazes toward her.Her eyes widened in disbelief; she still couldn't quite comprehend what was happening.“No, you’re kidding me! Please, Gabriel. Come here. I want you here,” she pleaded.Gabriel removed the mask covering his face, revealing his features to the crowd. The live television broadcast immediately zoomed in on his face, shocking everyone who knew him.Inside the venue, many guests were stunned to see Gabriel standing there.A smile played on his lips as he watched the wave of shock ripple through the crowd. He ended the call on his phone and proceeded to make his announcement.“I’m here to introduce myself; my name is Gabriel Ashton—or as some of you k

Pevita, Louis, and Joseph were about to leave to look for Gabriel—even though the guests were eager to see the Ashton family—when a message suddenly popped up on Pevita’s phone.Pevita opened the message, and her eyes widened. It was from Gabriel.[Gabriel Bruhn: I’m sorry, my dear, that I can’t return to the venue just yet. I have some unfinished business here. I’ll be right back once it’s done.]“Hey, Gabriel just sent me a message!” she said, showing it to Joseph and Louis.After reading the message, Louis remarked, “So, maybe we don’t need to go looking for him. He’s probably somewhere else right now.”“The Ashton family might need him, too,” Joseph chimed in.They decided to stay put.Herbert Ashton stepped onto the stage. The middle-aged man was dressed in a cream-colored suit. His neatly slicked-back greying hair gave him a dashing appearance. A luxurious, limited-edition watch encircled his wrist.The guests were captivated by the figure on stage, especially the ladies. Althou

Upon entering the entrance, they were greeted by a doorman, and they were asked to show their invitations. Once checked, they were ushered into the venue.They walked the red carpet just like the other guests, with a television reporter focusing the camera on them. The trio smiled, though traces of nervousness lingered on their faces.People watched them on television screens, including students from Kingford University.“What are they doing there? Did they really get invited?”“This is crazy! How could they invite university students?”“I heard Fiona Laurent got an invitation too; she’s the only campus beauty who did.”Students gathered in an apartment reacted to the sight of Gabriel and his two friends.Gabriel and his friends picked up glasses of wine from a table. They exchanged a toast and sipped the wine while taking in the magnificent venue.Gabriel scanned the ballroom, hoping to spot Pevita, but it seemed she hadn't arrived yet.Suddenly, a lady’s voice called out to Gabriel.

With no reason to delay the party announcing the Ashton family's secret heir, the Ashton family began sending out invitations. The event was set to be broadcast live on national television, but the guest list was exclusive—reserved for the affluent, famous figures, and those with ties to The Dragon Lord Group, rather than open to the public. Even so, the number of invitees was substantial, totaling in the hundreds.Gabriel hurried toward his dormitory room, carrying a large bag. A smile played on his face, and he felt a surge of excitement as he imagined his two best friends' reactions upon receiving invitations from the Ashton family.He opened the door to find his two friends lying on their respective beds, with a phone above their faces."Surprise! You’re going to be so happy when you see these!" Gabriel exclaimed, lifting the large bag he was carrying.The duo immediately hopped off their beds and rushed over to Gabriel.Gabriel set the large bag on the floor and opened it, taking

Herbert’s jaw dropped when he heard Gabriel mention the name "Ralph". Seeing his father’s shocked expression, Gabriel inquired,"Dad, do you know this man? Unfortunately, I have no idea his full name," he said.Herbert nodded in confirmation. His eyes filled with disappointment and frustration as the faces of Peter and Ralph flashed through his mind.Peter had always sided with Ralph; he had never stood by Herbert.When Peter gave him the doll that had belonged to the late Isabella, Herbert had thought Peter had changed—since the man was showing him care—but it turned out to be nothing more than part of a vile scheme."That man is Ralph Aartsen. We were good friends back then, until he turned against me because your mom, Isabella Wright, chose me over him. Ralph never held a special place in her heart, yet he loved her deeply. Isabella chose me, and we loved each other," Herbert recalled the past, a complex mix of emotions playing across his face.He let out a heavy sigh before contin

Herbert and the driver were standing so close that blood spurting from the driver's neck splashed onto Herbert's face.Herbert and his bodyguards immediately looked around, hoping to find the shooter.The driver lay on the ground, lifeless."Oh no!" Herbert crouched down, his gaze filled with sadness as he watched his driver die tragically like this. "I'm so sorry; this attack must have been meant for me, but instead you became the victim."As guilt washed over Herbert, the bodyguard immediately approached him and invited him to get into the car.They anticipated a second attack. The bodyguard handed over a tissue to his master.Herbert accepted the tissue and wiped away the blood that had splattered his face."Master, there must be someone watching you; they must be planning to harm you," the bodyguard said worriedly as he started the car engine, then drove off, leaving the scene.Meanwhile, some of the bodyguards were tasked with handling the driver's deadbody. Herbert was deeply sa
