“You people are really shameless! Always seeking out ways to exploit us in order to reap greater benefits.” Bruce remarked with a displeased expression on his face. For a moment, he actually believed that Eric was being sincere seeing how he willingly returned the items he had confiscated but it turns out that it was just a charade to make use of Eva as they always did in the past.

“What are you talking about, uncle?”

“ You would never have bothered to return these items back if the Carter's family wasn't in a dire situation and needed eva help to resolve the situation. You are not really here to reconcile with us but to take advantage of us.”

Eric laughed awkwardly after listening to the bruce words. “It is very unpleasant if you put it that way uncle. We are a family so it's natural if we helped each other out.” he said, trying to mediate the situation.

“We are no longer part of the Carter household so you should stop bothering us with your problems. What is the point of being part

    Eric knew that Benjamin was being shameless at this moment but he knew that arguing would only make his situation worse than it already was. After being scolded harshly by his grandfather, he turned around and left the house, feeling frustrated and upset.“Father, don't you think that you are being too harsh on eric? afterall , the one who should be blamed is Brother Bruce. If only he had trained his daughter more strictly then Eva wouldn't have grown to become very rebellious and keep on causing trouble for the family.” brian remarked as soon as Eric walked out of the room. He couldn't stand watching his son being consistently rebuked by everyone.Benjamin glared at Brian with a scornful gaze. “Maybe the family situation wouldn't have gotten this worse if only you were half as competent as your older brother,” he muttered half-heartedly wondering why he had so many strokes of bad luck. Bruce,who was his first son, was very bright and skillful in managing the family business. It wa

    Brian, who had also accompanied Benjamin remarked, berating Bruce in a disdainful tone.“Considering the relationship between us I didn't think that you would be expecting us to give you a warm welcome when All you have done these past couple days is torment us and you are likely here to cause another trouble.” Kate remarked in a displeased tone. Compared to Bruce who was holding himself back she on the other hand had no intention of hiding the disgust she felt after seeing Benjamin and Brian.Both Benjamin and Brian were equally taken by surprise when they heard Kate's words.“You damn old hag! Do you realize that you are in the presence of the patriarch? You must have gone crazy to be speaking to us in such a discourteous manner?” Brian lectured, his voice enveloped with agitation as his ego was bruised by Kate's behavior. In the past, Kate was usually intimated by Benjamin’s presence but she was speaking more boldly contrary to how nervous she always acted and this irked Brian

    Brian couldn't remain silent after hearing all the benefits that Benjamin promised to hand over to Eva and her parents just for the sake of convincing them to return to the family.If Eva accepted the offer then she and her family would hold a significant amount of influence within the family and he couldn't allow that to happen. “Father, you are offering too much. I am afraid that you are going to cause more harm than good to the family with these conditions.” Brian protested in a low voice only Benjamin could hear.“Fool! I told you to shut the hell up, didn't I? I'm only doing this to bring Eva back to the family so don't bother me now.” Benjamin groaned in a frustrated voice, rolling his eyes at Brian.On the other hand, Eva, Bruce and Kate could hide the shock they felt after hearing Benjamin’s offer. To be able to work at the Carters’ company was simply their dream for many years!Kate was especially enticed by the offer since it meant she would receive more monthly allowance w

    “Bruce, you can talk to Eva. She is your daughter. Tell her to put everything in the past and look towards the future. You are direct descendants of the Carter family no matter what anyone thinks.”“Father, I understand your point of view and I do feel bad about the current state of the Carter family. However, this matter has gone beyond my capability.” Bruce replied with a solemn expression lingering on his face.“What are you saying?” Benjamin queried with a raised eyebrow as that wasn't the response he was expecting from Bruce.“I'm saying that I won't force Eva to make a decision against her will. It's up to her to decide if she wishes to return to the family or not.” Bruce clarified, focusing his gaze intently on Benjamin as a gesture to express his unwavering determination to not change his decision.Benjamin was overwhelmed with disappointment but he couldn't stop trying. “I'm trying to save you from the regret of letting your own household collapse when you could have done so

    Misunderstanding?!” Benjamin Carter immediately lost his temper. He had already wasted several hours at their home and even got provoked, only to hear that it was all a misunderstanding and that Eva was not in a relationship with the chairman of Pegasus Enterprise.If that was truly the case then it also signifies that Eva really didn't have any connection to the current crisis of the Carter family and was of no use to them as he had presumed.He stood up, stared at them with a hostile gaze, and roared, “How could you make a mistake with such an important matter?! Weren’t you very proud and conceited when you bragged about it?! Huh? All you do is brag and show off, but you’re so useless at solving problems! You’re a bunch of garbage!”“How is this our fault?! I was merely stating my opinion and didn't force anyone to take my words seriously. You shouldn't blame your misfortunes on someone else.” Kate also lashed out at Benjamin as she couldn't endure being reprimanded by him. “Shut

    Bruce had his eyebrows as he silently watched Kate throw a fit “why do you even bother? You already know that she won't change her mind unless she desires to do the same thing you want. It's about time you stop pestering her or haven't caused enough misunderstanding already.”“I haven't done anything that is so wrong. As her mother, I'm only looking out for what is best for her so just stay out of it if you are not going to be of any help." Kate lashed out by bruce.It was at this moment Chris made his entry into the house as he just returned from grocery shopping.Seeing him, Kate wasted no time directing all her pent up frustration at him.” you damn wastrel. Were you going to spend the whole night shopping for groceries? You have been gone like forever.`` she shouted furiously at chris.Chris, who was clueless about everything that has happened in his absence, was a bit confused. He had only been gone for about thirty minutes and couldn't understand why Kate was overreacting. Howeve

    The following day, Chris drove Eva to work on his scooter since her vehicle had been severely damaged when she was kidnapped by John Landon’s men. “Thanks a lot for the lift. I'll make sure to get my car fixed as soon as possible.” Eva said after getting off the bike. She assumed that she was being an inconvenience to the Chridls“Why are you speaking so formally? I wasn't doing any favors. You are my wife and it is actually very normal for me to drive to work.” Chris responded with an assuring smile plastered on his face.As the couple were busy chatting, they noticed that a lot of stares were directed to them.It was morning and many of the company employees were resuming their day jobs. Since Eva was the CEO of the company, they all easily recognized Eva as they walked past her and Chris who were several feet away from the entrance of the building.Considering her status and rank within the company, many of them found it bizarre that eva was arriving to work on such a cheap l

    As a result, it seemed ridiculous that a bum like Chris claimed to be here to purchase a car. “This crazy punk!...are you here to cause trouble for us this morning? It would be wise for you to leave while I'm still asking nicely.” The salesman snapped at Chris in a much harsher tone.At this junction, a deep frown appeared on Chris’ face as he was also peeved by the salesman in appropriate behavior. “Why am I being kicked out of the showroom? I don't think that I have done anything wrong to warrant such humiliating treatment. Is this how you attend to your customers in this place?” He complained in dissatisfaction. The salesman grew more infuriated after listening to Chris' words. He didn't want to have to deal with such a nuisance very early in the morning.“Are you kidding me right now? Do you even know what you are talking about or how much each of this car costs?”“So what are you insinuating?“Are you dumb or what?” The salesman groaned rhetorically. “I'm telling you that this

    Ethan, who had been waiting by the car, caught sight of her vehicle disappearing into the distance. “Let's head to Cross Corporation.” Chris said As soon as he stepped into the car. Ethan turned to him. "Sir, I just saw the madam's car." Chris’s gaze snapped toward him. "Where?" "She just drove past the hotel. She saw you with Emma." Chris’s brows furrowed. "Follow her." Ethan immediately started the car and pulled out into traffic, but the city’s congestion worked against them. Within minutes, they lost her. Chris clenched his jaw, irritation flickering in his sharp eyes. "Head straight to the mansion," he ordered, hoping she had gone home. But when they arrived, Eva was nowhere to be found but Kate and Bruce were in the house. “You are back home early today?” Kate said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. Chris ignored her nagging. “Isn't Eva home yet?” “No, she is probably still at work. Do you think everyone is as jobless and irresponsible as you? Kate retorted. For

    About an hour ago, Chris leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers drumming lightly against the polished desk of Pegasus Enterprise. The floor-to-ceiling windows of his office reflected the golden hues of the late afternoon sun, casting long shadows across the luxurious space. He had just finished reviewing a high-profile acquisition deal, but his mind was elsewhere. Eva. He knew he had failed to pick her up the previous evening. It was a minor misstep, but one he didn’t want to repeat. Their relationship was a delicate balance—one he wasn’t willing to tip over. He glanced at his watch. There was still time before Eva was scheduled to leave the Carter estate, but there was another obligation he had to tend to first. Standing, Chris grabbed his suit jacket and slipped it on with effortless precision. "Ethan," he called as he stepped out of his office. Ethan, who had been waiting outside, straightened immediately. "Sir?" "Prepare the car. I’m stopping by the hotel before he

    A few murmurs of agreement rippled through the room. Eva’s gaze sharpened, already sensing Eric’s intention to undermine her. She exhaled slowly, keeping her voice calm yet firm. "I find it amusing that you’re concerned about punctuality when this very meeting was only possible because of the business deals I secured for this family. Or would you prefer to discuss the countless contracts I’ve personally overseen that have elevated the Carter name?" Eric’s smirk faltered for a fraction of a second, but he quickly recovered. "Of course, we acknowledge your contributions. But it isn’t enough. You still have many other responsibilities to the family and as head you need to set an example." Eva folded her arms. "Oh? Do enlighten me." Eric leaned forward, his gaze gleaming with false sincerity. " You know this would have been much easier if you didn't have to drive all the way here.Why don’t you relocate the Carter family to your current mansion? It’s extravagant and more than spacious

    Back in her room, Eva leaned against the door, her hands balled into fists. She groaned in embarrassment, not sure about what she just did. Her mind was a storm of emotions—confusion, frustration, pain. The sight of that lipstick stain haunted her. Her stomach twisted at the mere thought of Chris with another woman. She had spent the entire day yearning for his presence, regretting how she had treated him… only to now be met with something that shattered her fragile resolve. Was she really being foolish? Had she been longing for someone who had already moved on? She shut her eyes, inhaling sharply. This feeling—this uneasiness gnawing at her—was unbearable. But there was nothing she could do about it. Not right now. As the night deepened, Eva lay awake, staring at the ceiling, her heart aching with emotions she didn’t know how to handle. And Chris, on the other side of the mansion, was just as restless—completely unaware of the storm brewing in Eva’s heart. T

    “Where have you been all day, Chris?” Kate’s voice rang through the house. “Do you even know what time it is? You think that you can. Just come and go as you please” Chris’s voice was calm, composed. “I had things to take care of, Mother.” “Oh, so you disappear for days, come back whenever you please, and don’t even think to explain?” “I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t mean to worry you.” Kate scoffed. “Do you even care about this family? About Eva?” Eva clenched her fists. Why did Mom always have to bring me into everything? Chris remained patient. “I do care, Mother. But I had no choice. I had something important to handle.” Kate exhaled sharply. “You better not bring trouble to this house, Christopher.” Chris didn’t respond. He quietly climbed the stairs. Then came the sound of footsteps. Eva barely had time to react before she noticed Chris making his way up the stairs. Her heart pounded. Would he come to her room? Would he apologize? But instead, he walked straight past her

    The golden hue of the setting sun bathed the Cross Corporation building in a soft glow as employees exited the towering glass structure in waves. Eva Carter stepped through the revolving doors, her heart pounding with quiet anticipation. Her gaze instinctively swept across the bustling street, searching for the familiar sleek black car that Chris always parked near the curb. But he wasn’t there. She frowned, gripping the strap of her handbag tightly. Maybe he’s running late. It wouldn’t be the first time Chris had kept her waiting due to work, but he always showed up. Always. Minutes ticked by. First five. Then ten. The occasional rush of a car passing by barely distracted her from the growing tightness in her chest. She took a deep breath, pushing away the creeping unease that threatened to settle. He’ll come. He has to. But when thirty minutes passed with no sign of him, the bitter taste of disappointment curled on her tongue. She felt like a fool standing there, waiting. No ca

    Dexter was also equally confused, he was now sweating in fear but he still tried to regain control. “Mr. Landon, I assure you, this is just a misunderstanding—” Before he could finish, Felix turned and slapped him across the face. The entire room froze. Dexter stumbled, eyes wide in shock. “S-Sir?” Felix’s gaze was ice-cold. “You don’t touch people under my protection.” Dexter’s lips trembled. He had underestimated the weight of Chris’s connections. Chris leaned back in his chair, watching with amusement. “How dare you?....How dare you disrespect Mr.chris?....I’m going to see to it that you no longer have the liberty to conduct any more business in Brooklyn by the time I'm through with you.” Dexter was confused and could only drop to his knees instantly and bow his head in shame as he wondered how Chris was connected to the Landon family. “I'm sorry sir….I'm really sorry sir. I wasn't aware that Mr. Chris was a friend to the Landon family. I would not have acted disrespectfu

    Dexter’s grin faltered for the first time. His eyes darted to his hidden dealer, who subtly signaled that his hand wasn’t as strong as he thought. For the first time, uncertainty flickered in Dexter’s expression. But his pride wouldn’t let him back down. “All in,” he snarled. The dealer flipped the final two cards—King of Spades and a Nine of Spades. Chris had hit a Royal Flush—the highest possible hand. The room erupted into murmurs. Dexter’s face turned pale as he realized he had walked right into a trap. Chris leaned back, crossing his arms. “Looks like I win.” Dexter’s hands clenched into fists. “You… you cheated.” Chris tilted his head. “Cheating? You would know all about that, wouldn’t you?” Ethan chuckled. “Boss, looks like the casino manager isn’t used to losing.” Dexter slammed his fists onto the table. “I won’t let this slide.” Chris’s eyes darkened. “A deal is a deal. You don’t want to go back on your word now, do you?” Dexter ground his teeth. He did expect t

    To be honest, Chris had recognized Dexter the moment they locked eyes with one another. However, he acted otherwise hoping that the situation would become less complicated. “You damn bastard!....I told you we were going to meet again but who would have thought that you would actually dare to come into the casino all by yourself.” “You are getting yourself in this issue just like you did last time we met.” “What do you expect? I can't just stand by and watch your injustice.” “Fine. If you want to do that You want to pay off her debt? Let’s make it fun.” Dexter’s grin widened. “I have seen your fighting skills and I admit that you are good but let's find out if that applies to something else. I suggest a round of poker if you are confident in your skills.” Chris’s gaze didn’t waver. “I don’t play games I can’t win.” “What are the odds of the game?” Let’s make this interesting. Since we both have something at stake, let’s raise the buy-in.” Chris raised an eyebrow. “How much?”
