“Mom, why are you doing this?” Eva tried to meddle but Kate also snapped at her with her eyes blaring in flames of anger.

“Stay out of this, Eva!How could he lay hands on Dustin? What if the Ambrose family tries to retaliate back at us. We no longer have the support of the Carter family so how do you expect us to defend ourselves?” Kate pointed out.

Eva knew that Kate’s words made a lot of sense but she was confident that Dustin wouldn't do anything like that

Chris sighed as watched his mother-in-law throw a fit of anger. He understood that she was worried for the family so he couldn't blame her. However, In situations like this, it was best to avoid her until she was more relaxed so he willingly walked out of the house.

“Chris!” Eva called when she saw Chris leaving the house

“Don't worry! I'll just wait outside the house for a while” Chris informed her before leaving.

He stood outside the front porch of the house staring at the sky that was gradually losing its brightness

    At the same time the Carters were holding a meeting at the mansion concerning the interview that would take place at the Cross Corporation. The company previously belonged to them and so there was still a lingering attachment to it that made them still look for ways to claim it back. “Father, I just spoke with the representative of StarTech Corporation. They are also saying that they’re terminating their cooperation with us. They’re the tenth company that wants to terminate cooperation with us over the past few days. What should we do?” Bryce asked Dominic anxiously. This was the current state of the Carter family. As words spread about how they breached the contract with the Pegasus Enterprise a few days ago and compensated it with the Cross Corporation, they became the laughing stock of Brooklyn. Their status had also plunged significantly, and to make matters worse, they had offended the Pegasus Enterprise. Thus, many of their former business partners decided to cease their co

    Chris had a stern expression on his face after hearing Dustin’s words. He was aware of the fact that the Ambrose family was clinching a collaboration with Pegasus Enterprise and It was no wonder why Dustin was very confident about helping Eva get a job at Cross Enterprise. Dustin was trying to tempt Eva with the offer of getting her position at Cross Corporation to make her accept his marriage proposal. He intentionally decided to help Eric become general manager of Cross Corporation in order to irk Eva. However, he couldn't allow such a nuisance to stick around him so he made a mental note to fix this situation. “It would be wise for you to accept Dustin's proposal. Maybe our grandfather will consider letting you back into the Carter family if you marry into the Ambrose family. The Ambrose would soon rise to become a top tier elite family in Brooklyn with the connection with Pegasus Enterprise and it would be great to form family ties with them.” Eric also pitched in his own opi

    “Silly brat! You know how to flatter someone?" Bill laughed but his facial expression immediately turned sour when he saw the text message on his phone. It was a message from Pegasus Enterprise stating that his employment had been terminated. Bill immediately sprung up from his seat. He was totally confused by the current situation. “This can't be happening! Why?....Why am I being terminated?” He mumbled incoherently. “Is there anything wrong, Uncle?" Dustin asked in a concerned tone after observing the sudden change in Bill's demeanor. “I have to go right now!” Bill ignored Dustin. Instead, he grabbed his car key and headed straight to Pegasus Enterprise to confirm what was happening. Shortly afterwards, Dustin also got a phone call back from his father. “What is happening, Dustin?! Did you do something to offend Pegasus Enterprise?” The voice on the phone was speaking in a very harsh tone. “No, father. I haven't done anything wrong.” Dustin replied, feeling slightly confu

    Everyone in the room gasped. They were curious to see who had just spent such a high amount of money on one single item but no matter how hard they looked, none of them could see Chris. However, they all became aware of the fact that a tycoon was present in their midst. As the auction continued Chris continued bidding on more items. There were times where several individuals wanted to vie for him and thought they could outbid him. Eventually, they gave up instantly as soon as they realized that Chris was far more wealthy than they assumed. Finally, it was time for the last item to be revealed - the undying Heart of Pierre. Everyone was awed when they set their eyes on the red diamond necklace. Chris didn't bother waiting for Thomas to describe the item before announcing his bid. “Two hundred million dollars for ‘The Undying Heart of Pierre’ necklace.” He announced. The necklace originally cost fifty million dollars but Chris was offering to buy it for three times the original a

    Soon, the day of the banquet ceremony arrived. Several minutes after he left, a luxurious limousine pulled over outside the Carter residence, and a chauffeur wearing a black suit and white gloves stepped out of the car. “Um... who are you looking for?” Kate couldn’t help but be stunned when she saw the chauffeur’s demeanor. “Hello. I’m the chauffeur sent by Mr. Brown, the CEO of Pegasus Enterprise to pick Miss Evangeline Carter and her family up for the banquet at the Castel Hotel.” The chauffeur in the suit bowed respectfully. “You’re here to pick us up for the banquet?” Kate muttered in disbelief. “Yes, ma'am.” the chauffeur confirmed with a nod Kate was so elated that she screamed out Eva's name. “Evangeline Carter, come down here this instant.” Soon Eva arrived at the living room as was surprised to see Chauffeur and the limousine. “What is going on here, mom?” “Eva, good news! Pegasus Enterprise has sent this person to take us to the banquet ceremony taking today

    At this moment, Benjamin Carter’s family arrived at the entrance of the hotel, but no one received them at all. It was as if the ushers didn’t see them. They simply walked past them to receive the other guests cordially. Benjamin coughed a little uneasily. Eric saw that Eva’s family was well received and expected the same level of treatment. As a result, he arrogantly pulled one of the ushers and asked, “Why aren't you doing your job properly. Is there no one to receive us? Where will we be sitting?” Glancing at Eric coldly, the usher snapped, “There are so many guests here, and I’m very busy. There’s a number on the invitation card so find your own table?” “You...” Eric Was furious because of the usher’s rude reply. However, he dared not kick up a fuss because the Castle Hotel The Carters held back their anger, went into the hall, and found their seats. However, the few of them were in a foul mood, especially because their table was near the door and obviously much smaller

    The entire hall was in a state of awe when they saw the piece of jewelry. The red diamond placed at the center of the necklace sparkled lustrously under the bright light and it made it very eye-catching. In particular, all the wealthy women present almost had their eyes glued on the items that they couldn’t shift their gazes away from. “Wow!” “Oh my god!” “So beautiful!” Many of them gasped in awe and surprise. “Wait a minute ... .isn't that the undying Heart of Pierre that was sold at the sky-high price of two hundred million dollars at the auction that night!” someone muttered in a loud voice. The crowd got into an uproar as they all discovered that the jewelry on display was purchased at staggering prices by the mysterious tycoon at the auction that took place a few nights ago! It turns out that the mysterious tycoon that day was the unseen chairman of the Pegasus Enterprise!” It would be simply too terrifying! At this moment, Benjamin, Eric and Brian turned as p

As a result, he decided to cut the conversation short, hanging up the phone call before going to open the door. His eyes widened and was filled with curiosity as to why Eva was here. “Can I come inside?” Eva asked. Chris stepped aside to give her entry without saying a word. “Is there any problem?” He asked. Eva looked around the room. This was the first time she had entered Chris room and saw that it had a very simple decoration. She turned around to look at Chris to respond to his questions. . “I wanted to thank you for encouraging to take the interview. If it hadn't been for your support I wouldn't have even had the chance to get hired into cross corporation.” Eva said. “It does

    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?”
