Hearing that, Eva and Alice gave the servant a sharp look. "Huh, what are you saying? The payment has been completed?"

"Yes, it's done." The waitress replied kindly.

Not believing that, they took the receipt from the waiter's hand and looked at the total payment Blake had made.

Their eyes widened at the amount written on it. "1.8 million dollars?"

That was a huge amount of money, even during the time Alice had been dating her boyfriend, they had never eaten at a fancy restaurant to the point of spending that much money. This was really shocking for her.

Both of them were shocked, gulped down their saliva, then looked at each other. They looked back at the waiter to confirm. "Is this correct?"

The waiter nodded his head. "It is, Miss. The payment has been completed, according to the note."

The waitress again pointed at the receipt, then looked at Blake kindly. "Sir, this is your card. Thank you."

The waitress handed the black card back into Blake's hand. Amora who saw that was surprise

    Amora was surprised to hear what Blake said. "Why did you say that, Blake?" She tilted her position, facing Blake. "They are my friends and you've known that for a long time.""Yes, but they are not good enough friends for you."Blake's words made Amora frown even more. " What do you mean?"Amora didn't understand why Blake suddenly said such an uncomfortable thing to her, even though Blake had never made an issue of her being friends with anyone, especially Eva and Alice, who had been her friends for a long time.Amora was stunned to hear Blake's answer. "You're overreacting." She looked back ahead. "It's only natural that my friends think about me because you don't seem like someone who wants to do anything for me."Amora finally spoke honestly about what she had been holding back all this time. Blake had never tried to make her happy or buy her a cheap bracelet like he had earlier.She was too lazy to argue and didn't want to bring this up, but Blake's words crossed the line. She h

    Of course, Blake did not accept what Xavier said. "She is my wife.""Yes, I am his wife." Amora nodded, agreeing with Blake.This time, He was on Blake's side. After all, marriage is not something to be trifled with. Her status and Blake's were official in the eyes of the law as husband and wife. Neither Miguel, Xavier, nor any other man who likes her and intends to marry her will ever be able to."God, your marriage status is unclear. Even this lousy man doesn't behave like a husband should." Zuri made a sour face, criticizing Blake in front of Xavier."Mom."Amora rolled her eyes, trying to stop her mother from insulting Blake. Miguel may be kind and wealthy, but after meeting Xavier, who came to give him a new car, her choice turned to that man.Amora shifted her gaze to Blake, silently staring straight at Xavier. Amora was quite tired of this sight. Her energy had been drained enough to listen to Eva and Alice's insults; now, she also had to listen to Zuri's insults to Blake. Xavi

    "What's wrong?" Blake was shocked and immediately felt worried. He looked at Johnson, stroking the old man's arm." I'll go first to check it out."Johnson growled softly while winking, a sign that Blake could leave. Blake nodded and immediately left the room as Johnson was treated.Blake's face showed concern. In his mind, there was now only Amora. He was afraid something bad would happen to his wife until he finally arrived in the living room. He saw Zuri and Amora facing each other, and right in front of them were several broken jars. "What's going on, Amora?" Blake approached Amora. He also secretly watched his wife to ensure Amora wasn't hurt. "We have to leave this place immediately. "Amora looked worried, and that confused Blake. "You have to leave here immediately."The familiar female voice made Blake turn around immediately. A middle-aged woman was standing right in front of him. "Because this is my house." Liana grinned, her hands folded in front of her chest."But Gran

    Amora looked so restless that she continued to work, but all her work was a mess because she couldn't focus. What was now filling her head was how to get that much money.Now and then, Amora bit the tip of her index finger or sometimes rubbed her face roughly while exhaling. Her look was chaotic, especially with her pale face.Blake noticed Amora and finally approached. "Relax, it will all be over.""I can't." Amora closed her eyes while squeezing her hands on the table." I have to look for a loan."However, Amora didn't know who to borrow money from. Even if there was anyone, it was impossible that someone would lend her 300 million rupiah easily. This made her head feel dizzy and throbbing with pain."Ah." Amora held her stomach, which felt sore. 'It looks like my stomach acid is rising.' She whispered, talking to herself."Your mind is too heavy." Blake tried to calm his wife, but Amora didn't trust him.Amora did not respond to her husband's words. She opened the drawer and immedi

    " You should realize, who the hell are you?" Liana glared sarcastically. She really didn't like the man in front of her. "How dare you say something like that to us.Blake's words already made her feel humiliated. She cursed inside herself, cursing Blake for being such a hero to Amora's family."Your style is that of an overnight hero. Coming here with nothing but bravado and bullshit. Do you think you can beat us that way?""Are you trying to scare us with your bullshit?" Jason chuckled. "Compared to you, we have more power."Jason grinned and said in his heart that Blake had made the wrong move by coming here."Oh, yeah?" With his flat face, Blake made a face that doubted them. "You're shameless. A poor man like you has the nerve to look down on us." Liana was inflamed. She pointed her index finger at Blake's face while swearing harshly. "I can put you in jail easily. Your life will be ruined. So, no need to play nice in front of us.""What did you come here for? Your presence here

    Blake managed to deflect Jason's attack, making the baseball bat in his hand fall and even knocking his body to the floor."Ah!" Jason grimaced, feeling the excruciating pain in his hand. "Son of a bitch! You're a crazy man, damn it."Jason jumped roughly at Blake. Seeing her son fall like that startled Liana and she immediately approached him. "Are you okay?""My hand hurts, Mom." Jason whimpered as he slowly got up with Liana's help. Liana hardened her jaw at the state of her son, then looked at Blake angrily. "Insolent. You're really shameless. Now you're hurting my son."Liana rubbed Jason's arm anxiously. She was very worried about her son and it made her hate Blake even more."If anything happens to my son, I'll put you in jail." Liana pointed her index finger in Blake's face. "Just watch, I won't let you go.""Damn it, you think I'll just lose?" Jason grinned, moving his still sore arm. "Assholes like you should just vanish from the face of this earth."Jason still didn't giv

    "Oh, how much are you willing to pay?"Marco furrowed his brow, looking somewhat intrigued by the offer. This immediately made Blake glance at him, but Marco was completely unfazed and remained calm."We'll pay handsomely, perhaps a few million more than your current salary," Romeo smiled as he made the offer. "Think about it. Your salary is really low, isn't it? Probably no more than a million dollars."Jason nodded. "Yes, we can offer each of you 5 million dollars."Liana quickly glanced at her son. That was a large sum to give away just like that to the three police officers, but now was not the time to think about that. Romeo's freedom was the priority.Liana also nodded while clasping her hands in front of her chest. "Yes, we'll pay whatever it takes as long as you release my husband."The two officers behind Marco exchanged glances with each other. They were unsure if their leader would accept the offer or continue with their task."How about it? Or maybe that's a small offer?"

    Amora was shocked by the situation. She rounded her eyes to see several policemen seemingly handcuffing her uncle and cousin's hands."Why are they handcuffed?"Some time ago, Amora had just arrived at the gate of Liana's house. The woman looked nervous and hesitant to take a step. She was still on the fence.Occasionally Amora squeezed her hands as she exhaled, trying to strengthen herself. She repeatedly convinced herself that she could do it.Amora's gaze focused on Liana's house. "Whatever happens later, I have to be strong to face it."She didn't want to come here at first, but knowing Blake hadn't been home since early in the morning made her lose hope. Blake had asked her to calm down, but he had left without a word. It was enough to make Amora feel a little down. So she ventured to come to her aunt's house, at least she could get back to negotiating since they were family. She had no money to pay them, so there was no other choice but to beg for mercy."Hopefully Aunt Liana

    The small box given by the prince contained a ring engraved with a black dragon emblem at its center. It was the royal crest. Anyone who saw that symbol would immediately know who it belonged to. Michael smiled confidently and crossed his right leg over his left. “I’m serious.” Of course, there was a deeper meaning behind the gift of the black dragon ring. It was meant to forge an alliance and gain more advantages than he had originally hoped for — and Blake understood that intention well. Blake looked at the man sitting across from him. “I might not bring you any results at all.” Blake didn’t want to make any promises to Michael. He didn’t want to promise profit or loss, because he didn’t want to create distance between them if Michael’s expectations didn’t align with what Blake could deliver. But Michael still looked confident. He leaned back in his chair, completely at ease. “I believe you're not just an ordinary man, and I’m confident you won’t disappoint me,” Michael raised

    Amora was stunned. Blake’s words and actions were so in sync with her own thoughts that she couldn’t help but feel admiration and deep emotion. This surprise had far exceeded her expectations. She never imagined Blake had planned everything so meticulously and thoughtfully. A mix of gratitude and overwhelming happiness filled her heart. How lucky she was to have a man like Blake."Why are you just standing there? Come on, let’s go inside!" Blake invited, smiling as he waited for Amora to respond.Snapping out of her daze, Amora turned to Blake, her eyes filled with admiration and gratitude. "This must have been so expensive," she said, her voice trembling with disbelief and awe.Blake gave her a warm smile, stepping closer and gently taking her hand. "No, sweetheart. I would do anything to make you happy and comfortable," he said, leading her into the cabin of the private jet, his heart swelling with joy at the sight of Amora’s radiant happiness.The jet's cabin was luxurious and eleg

    Click! The sound of the door locking made Amora turn around, only to see Blake smiling mysteriously. She pretended not to understand and looked at him with innocent eyes, which only made his smile widen. Blake took slow steps forward, unbuttoning his shirt one by one. He pulled Amora by the waist and immediately captured her lips in a kiss. Amora gasped but didn't resist. Her hands instinctively wrapped around Blake's neck, and soon, their lips melted together in the intimacy of their bedroom. "I love you," Blake murmured once more. Amora only smiled, letting him take control until they ended up beneath the sheets, wrapped in each other's embrace. --- Morning arrived again, and as usual, Amora was the first to wake up. It wasn’t the first time, yet she still blushed at the memories of last night’s passion. Shaking her head, she quietly got up and headed to the bathroom while Blake was still fast asleep. After about thirty minutes, she stepped out wearing nothing but a towel wra

    “We tried to convince them to stay, but they’ve already given up,” the assistant continued, desperation creeping into his tone. “Even the banks are starting to reject our loan applications. If we don’t act fast, the company will go bankrupt!” Hearing those words, Betrand staggered backward, his head spinning. This couldn't be happening. His company had always been stable, its power in the business world unshakable. But now? Everything was crumbling in mere hours. He swallowed hard, trying to regain his composure. “How did this happen?” “What’s wrong?” Merry frowned, concern flashing across her face as she observed her husband’s stunned reaction. Betrand remained frozen in shock, completely ignoring Merry’s question. His hand, still gripping the phone, began to tremble, his fingers clenching around the device so tightly it was as if he wanted to crush it. His breathing turned erratic and uneven. Slowly, he turned his head. His eyes flickered quickly toward Blake, a mix of shock, f

Romeo frowned. "Just tell me how much you want. I'll give it to you." He was so confident that his offer would work. He didn’t care how much money he would lose; after all, he had just gotten a commission from the illegal arms sale. It didn’t matter if he lost a lot of money, as long as he could be free and keep his family safe from punishment. "Oh, that's a very tempting offer," Marco nodded, then stepped forward until he was face to face with Romeo. "Your offer is very enticing." Romeo smirked, pleased to hear that. He looked at Liana and smiled in relief, thinking he would easily be freed. Everyone knew that money could solve problems, and it se

    Before she could dwell further on the unfamiliar sensation, the sharp sound of heels striking against the wooden floor broke the silence. At the threshold of the living room, Zuri stood with an expression far from pleased. Her red lipstick was slightly faded—a sign of a long day—and her narrowed eyes bore into Blake with unwavering intensity. "So, you still have the nerve to show up here," she said, her voice cold and firm. Amora sighed. She knew her mother better than anyone, and that tone of voice always meant trouble. Blake remained composed. With a calm movement, he removed his jacket and hung it by the door before turning to face Zuri. His gaze remained steady, as if he had already anticipated this confrontation. "Is there something you want to discuss?" he asked, his tone neutral but far from friendly. Zuri stepped closer, clutching her expensive clutch bag tightly. Her eyes were filled with barely restrained anger. "Do you think I’m an idiot, Blake?" she spat. "Yo
