Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 41
Eva and Chris left the Cross Corporation building together and their next destination was the Carter family villa to meet Benjamin. Throughout the journey, Eva didn't say a word but it was clearly evident that she was in despair. As soon as they arrived at the villa, she briskly walked into the building with a desperate look. “Where is my Grandfather?” Eva asked one of the maids she came across. “Good morning, Miss Evangeline. The patriarch is in the living room but you can't go to see him because he is holding a meeting.” The maids replied. Eva headed to the living room, ignoring the maid's words. Arriving at the living room she found Benjamin and a few older members of the Carter family seated on the couches in the living room. There were also a couple bottles of wines and dishes on the table It was more like they were having a small celebration rather than a meeting. “Why are you here, Eva?” Benjamin questioned after Eva made her unexpected entrance. He sneered when he
Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 42
Upon their arrival back home, Chris and Eva explained the incident that occurred at the office to both Eva's parents. Bruce and Kate were overwhelmed with frustration. Kate didn't relent in throwing her usual tantrum about Benjamin's biased decision. They had gone to celebrate the good news of Eva being appointed as the vice chairman but now it was meaningless. She had been hoping to live a luxurious life. There was a glimmer of hope for that to happen when Eva was appointed to become the vice chairman but the chance of having that luxurious life she had dreamed of was dead since Eva was no longer the Vice Chairman. Eva could barely keep her sanity at the moment. She was mentally exhausted and depressed. Her body was on the verge of breaking down so she directly went straight up to her room to get some rest. Meanwhile, Chris stepped outside the house after Eva went up to the room. He picked out his cellphone number and dialed Elliot’s phone number. After a few rings the call

Inside the car, Eric was displeased. He grumbled in dissatisfaction feeling irritated by how they were treated dishonorably at Pegasus Enterprise. As they arrived at the Carter villa, they saw Benjamin and other members of the Carter family waiting in the main hall for their victorious return. As a result, Eric's frustration grew as it was embarrassing to bring a failed report to these people when they expected him to arrive with a paycheck of three billion dollars. The moment they got out of the car, the confettis were popped into the air and everyone jumped into a celebratory mood welcoming Eric in jubilation. “Welcome back, grandson. You’ve done well for the sake of the family. I expect that the negotiation went well.” Benjamin said, addressing both Eric and Brian in an exalted mood. Eric was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain the situation to Benjamin. Benjamin was very sharp witted and so he easily sensed something amiss judging from the countenance of both his
Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 44
Benjamin was extremely anxious. He was currently in a very foul mood but he dared not flare up because he was dealing with the Pegasus Enterprise; the largest business organization in Brooklyn. After Eric left, he called in a servant. “Tell everyone to come here for an emergency meeting!” he ordered. In less than an hour, all the members of the Carter family had arrived at the Carter Villa, except for Eva and her parents and gathered in the main living room. Each one of them was smiling brightly and had an excited expression on their respective faces. They didn't know why Benjamin summoned them all but they had all assumed that they had received good news from Pegasus Enterprise. Unfortunately, none of them were aware of the recent developments regarding Pegasus Enterprise's intention to terminate the contract. They soon realized that something was amiss when they saw the irritated expression on Benjamin’s face as he entered the room. The smile on their faces instantly vanished

Eva remained cooped in her room and refused to see anyone after her last meeting with Benjamin. She was unwilling to do anything or even get involved in the matters of the family anymore. In spite of her parents' constant probing, she refused to say a single word and came out of her room. At this point, Chris was even becoming more worried. At this moment, Bruce’s phone rang. He was surprised seeing that it was a call from his younger brother, Brian, he immediately picked up. “Hello, Brian. It’s very surprising that you called me personally after such a long while. “I don't have time for pleasantries. I need to pass an urgent message from our father to your daughter, Evangeline. I wouldn't have bothered calling you if only I could reach her.” Brian said in an unpleasant tone. He had tried calling Eva a couple of times but he couldn't establish a connection. “The Patriarch had ordered her to be at the villa as soon as possible. If she fails to comply then you all can forget abou
Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 46
After hearing the words that Benjamin said, the Carters couldn’t help but look at each other in astonishment. It had been a long time since anyone was disowned and kicked out of the family. Although people no longer place that much emphasis on family ties and being disowned by your family may not warrant public hatred these days, it was still a serious matter for a major elite family like the Carters, because it was a matter that could be pursued publicly. After being disowned and chased out of the family, they would no longer be entitled to all the dividends and benefits of the companies owned by the Carters, and even their residence would be confiscated. After all, being disowned by your family was an extremely embarrassing thing, as it usually meant that you had committed a heinous offense and had a problematic character that caused you to be chased out of the family. At this moment, Eva’s heart turned cold. She had done so much for the family in the past, but what was i
Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 47
At the Cross Corporation building, Benjamin was seated at the head of the table in the conference room along with all the top executives of the company. The Carter family household was in a state of disarray. Today was the deadline Pegasus Enterprise had given them to sort out the compensation f*e for breaching the contract but they were yet to find a solution to the issue. As a result, Benjamin had called a meeting to discuss this troubling issue. However, the meeting was just about to commence when Eric got a phone call from a lower employee who informed him about the arrival of delegates from Pegasus Enterprise. At first, Benjamin was about to scold Eric for keeping his cell phone on during such an important meeting but he was instantly interrupted before he got the chance to say anything. “Grandpa, it's very bad news! I have just been informed that the legal team representing Pegasus Enterprise has arrived and they are currently in the lobby.” Eri was extremely flustered, and h
Unparalleled Supremacy Chapter 48
Over the past two days, the Cross Corporation had been troubled over the matter of being sued by the Pegasus Enterprise. Evangeline Carter had been staying outside the Pegasus Enterpries’s office every day in a bid to see Elliot Brown. On the other hand, none of the members of the Carter family showed up. Since it was stated in the contract that Eva was to be the person in charge, the Carters had to comply and make her the person in charge. However, Jeremy was somehow able to discover that the Carters immediately appointed Eric as the Vice Chairman of the Brilliance Corporation on the next day that they signed the contract. On the other hand, Eva was instantly discarded after they no longer found her to be useful. He didn't know Evangeline Carter but he had a good impression of her and thought that she was very talented to be able to secure such a massive contract from Pegasus Enterprise. As a result, Jeremy Lawrence felt that the Carters had no one to blame but themselves for the

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?”
