“Isn't that just an excuse for being a husband who leeches off his wife? It is illogical for a man to rely on his wife for financial support.” Patricia said, berating Chris and returned her attention back to Eva. “I think we no longer have to guess the reason why your wife has become a whore who uses her body to achieve her status.” she added in laughter.

“Eva, I didn't expect that your standard in men was so low. You shouldn't have brought this trash to the gathering. We all have reputable backgrounds and your husband doesn't cut it to be seated amongst us so he must leave.”

“Why? I didn't realize that such an outrageous rule was made for this gathering?” Eva retorted, barely managing to contain the anger as she was still very cautious of offending Jason.

Patricia was also very aware of this fact and she was using this to her advantage to oppress Eva as much as she could. She knew that Jason had eyes for Eva and her plan was to humiliate Eva in order to make Jason lose his intre

    “Why are you trying to stop her honey?! You don't have to be involved in insignificant matters.” Patricia said, sounding very confused. Jason glared at Patricia. In other words it was a sign of him telling her to shut up. “Actually, I was very offended by your words, Miss Carter. I would have no choice but to presume that you have hostile intentions towards me and the Landon family if you insist on leaving without settling this misunderstanding. I wonder if you are capable of handling the aftermath!” Jason had a sinister smile on his face as he spoke to Eva. “Offended you!....How?! …..I never had any intention of doing that, Mr Landon?” Eva muttered knowing fully well that Jason was shamelessly bullying her once again using his status. “Are you saying that I'm being unreasonable? Miss Carter, I’m only going easy on you today because it’s you. Otherwise, there’d be severe consequences if someone else disrespected me. Earlier, you refused to accept my toast. I let this matter

    Seeing that Chris was still being disrespectful, Jason could no longer endure it. Moreover, it would definitely tarnish his public reputation if word got out that a piece of trash like Chris insulted him without facing the dire consequences of such atrocious behavior. “Evageline, I didn’t expect your husband to be so ignorant! How dare he threaten to break Mr. Landon’s limbs. “Exactly! Being so bold doesn’t do him any good though. I suggest that he apologizes to Mr. Landon now.” “I agree! He should know his place. Mr. Landon is a very influential figure in Brooklyn and your husband is worthy of cleaning his shoes.” “I also heard that the Landon family has quite a number of martial art experts. In the end your lowly husband will be the one who has his limbs broken.” Eva panicked after hearing the warning words of her classmates. “Mr. Landon, I will definitely lecture him about this when we get back so please don’t mind him.” Jason wanted to hit Chris directly but he could on

    Patricia was excited when she heard that Jason had already called for the back up. She wanted to stir as much trouble as possible. “That’s good, honey. You should show them the consequences of looking down on you and the Landon family. I'm also going to use the opportunity to teach Eva. She just loves acting high and mighty, humiliating her will ruin her confidence and make her understand that I'm superior.” “No. You will not touch Evangeline Carter. I have special intentions for her.” A disgruntled expression appeared on Patricia’s face. “Why are you so obsessed with her? I saw how you have been looking at her ever since they arrived. You always say that you love me but I guess that's just a lie after all.” she accused. “What gave you the audacity to order me around? I don't have the obligation to explain my every action to you so you can leave if you can't stand it.” Jason lashed out at Patricia, his voice engulfed in anger. A dreadful feeling washed over Patricia as she

    Amanda eyebrows furrowed deeply to form a displeased look on her face as she glared at the classmates blocking her path *What are you doing right now? Why are you trying to stop us from leaving?” She retorted in a furious tone. “It's not going to be that easy for you both to leave like this because there's something else you have to settle before leaving.” The classmates replied. Amanda became even more irritated. *You are spouting nonsense! I don't think I need your permission before leaving this place so move aside now.” She demanded. “You really are clueless, aren't you?Anyway we can't allow you to leave without settling the bill. It was Patricia who specifically chose this place as the venue for the gathering and she also promised to take responsibility for footing the bill but now that she has left we are going to have to pay for it ourselves. Surely, you don't expect us to pay for your share of the bill as well.” “Fine, I'll pay my own share.” Eva said, agreeing without any

    The manager was completely unfazed. His demeanor remained calm In spite of the threatening words that were being hurled at him. “Do you intend to continue operating your hotel? Then you better have a good explanation for this situation and reasonable compensation.” The Class president remarked in a firm tone, still thinking they had the upper hand in this situation. After all, the manager would be in a desperate state to protect the image of the hotel. “Don't worry, sir. I'll look into it and find out where the problem lies.” The manager said in an assuring tone and proceeded to look at the bill as well. He raised his gaze a brief moment later. “Excuse me, sir, I think there has been a misunderstanding. There is actually nothing wrong with this bill.’ “I can't believe that you still have the cheek to lie. How could we have spent 47 million dollars within two hours?” “Sir, the prices of our hotel room service varies respectively based on the rank of service provided. It states

    Hearing this, Amanda boiled in fury but she wasn't willing to back down from the challenge in order not to be shamed. “Alright, I'll do it. Eva and I are going to clear the bills for everything that was ordered.” She confidently announced. “Huh…What are you saying, Amy? How are we going to do that?” Eva muttered, feeling very uneasy. “It is unfair to make you pay for the bills alone so I've got twenty-eight million dollars in my credit card account. I'm willing to give it my all to support you.” She said, hoping that Eva would have enough money in her bank account. On the other hand, Eva’s situation was far worse than expected. “My credit card contains only two million dollars.” She said in a low voice, her face flushed red in embarrassment. The responsibility of taking care of her family expenses and her father's medical support has left a big hole in her savings. Moreover, the salary she received while working when Cross corporation was still under the control of the Carter fam

    Afterwards, the atmosphere was engulfed by the sound of loud laughter reigning inside the room. They found Chris word's tone utterly ridiculous as it was unbelievable that the live-in son in law of the Carter family would be able to afford twenty-five million dollars. Naturally, Amanda also had the same thought about Chris and she was even more disgusted by him. However, Eva was a little bit skeptical as she saw the firm expression on Chris' face but it was difficult for her to accept that he was capable of paying the bill. *You are being delusional. Do you expect us to believe that you can afford to pay forty seven million dollars?” “Of course, that's completely impossible. You won't be living as the Son-In-Law of the Carter family.” “That's right! You are just bluffing and nobody here is a fool that will prove it.” “I heard that you are just a lowly orphan that was pulled out from the street. You don't even deserve to be seated in the same room with elites like us.” “Haha, Chri

    87 Eva glanced at Chris in bewilderment as she wondered how he came to possess a blank card. “It's impossible! There's no way this loser would own such a rare item.” “I agree that it must be a fake black card. He is trying to fool everyone.” “That's right! There is nobody in Brooklyn wealthy enough to own a black card.” Everyone began smearing Chris with their disdainful comments. The manager glanced at Chris as he contemplated in his mind if Chris was a fraudster or secretly a rich man since one had to own a billion dollars in a saved account to have a black card. “Please sir, I would like you to come along with us to carry out the transaction.” The manager eventually proposed. His plan was to immediately have Chris arrested if it turns out that he was a fraudster. On the other hand, if the card was legit it also proves that Chris was actually a wealthy individual who was hiding his identity. It was an absurd assumption but that possibility couldn't be ruled out. “Is that re

    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?”
