That same day, Ryan returned to Salem city.

He talked with multiple parties and managed to buy four properties and signed the deal.

His confidence boosted very much.

As he was returning home, he purposely stopped by Lucia’s cafe. The painting works finished, and the cafe looked modern and luxurious now.

He sat by a table and was smiling at Lucia.

There was no customer aside from Ryan.

“We’re closing the cafe,” Lucia said from the counter.

“There’s still two minutes left,” Ryan retorted. “I want

    Iva just finished her office work and was leaving.But her secretary said, “Ma’am, you need to watch this.”Iva saw an advertisement for chocolate. “Elena?” she slightly frowned. “Did Adrian create a chocolate company without my knowledge?”She immediately dialed up Steward Henry.“I need an explanation of Elena chocolate,” she said.“Ma’am, Young Master didn’t want me to tell you about this,” Henry spoke nervously. “He did not name the company until recently, so I didn’t know he was planning on dedicating the company to his fiancee.”“How much has he spent on the company so far?”“About 2 million.”“Only 2 million?” Iva was surprised. “For how long has he been doing this?”“For two to three years.”“That long? And yet he spent only two million?”“Yes, ma’am, he’s been very careful during the product development phase, but…” Henry’s voice grew thin, “I think he’s spending much more on advertising.”“What’s your estimate?”“He’s approaching celebs for promotion, and he’s even calling S

    The media started doing their best to repair the damages that were done on three big families in the last few days.Firstly, the news shown regarding the hospitals owned by the Paine family was proven to the baseless and false. Even the police officers confirmed it through press confidence.Then, the marriage between Sia Paine and Gregg Huefner was announced once again.This, however, did not boost the stocks of their companies as much because their wedding already failed once.At the same time, the deals made between Gareth and Paul were kept out of the limelight, yet the stocks of their companies began to rise in respective areas.For a couple of days, the world around these three families had quieted down.To the outsiders, it seemed like peace returned once again.But both the Huefner and Paine family heads were secretly planning on hurting the Claimer family.Gregg was also looking for his fiancee’s sister even though his own wedding was at hand.Meanwhile, Adrian was also busy.

    “Are we going to live in this estate after marriage? Or are we going to live separately?”Elena’s question froze Adrian’s expression for more than a moment.It took him a few seconds just to process her words.And nothing he deduced was to his liking.He had extensively remodeled this estate for her to comfortably live here, yet Elena did not seem all that interested in living here.What went wrong?Why did she not want to live here?The answer to that question was also found in the last few words that had come out of her mouth: Are we going to live separately?Does she not want to live with his family members in this estate?While his mother was definitely troubling Elena, he was under the impression that things will all be sorted sooner or later.“Elena, is there something you don’t like about being here?” Adrian softly asked, despite how anxious he felt in his heart. “We went through a rough patch of staying outside. We saw how dangerous it was, and we came back home, so why do you

    After the misunderstanding, Adrian wanted to improve Elena’s mood, so he took her back into the storage building.He took her to the second floor, where every item was made of precious metals.“Choose the ones you want to wear for our wedding,” he said, showing a hall full of hundreds of jewelry items displayed in glass boxes.There were chains, bracelets, waist belts, anklets, rings, earrings, noserings, and so many kinds of fashion items Elena had never seen before.“Is it alright for me to wear these?” Elena hesitantly asked.“You’re going to become a Claimer,” Adrian calmly replied. “So it is your duty to wear them on important occasions.”“Mm…” Elena faintly smiled.They weren’t alone.Lilian, Iva and the maids were also there, observing some other jewelry.Iva was actually spying on what Elena and Adrian were doing, whereas Lilian was recording a video to show-off to her friends later on.Iva saw that. She took Lilian’s mobile and deleted the video. “Don’t ever record anything i

    All the people in the estate, including the members of the Claimer household were gathered at the storage building on the west.Gareth and Lilian weren’t told the reason, so they were eager to leave.But then Iva told Gareth, “Your mother’s tea cup was broken.”“What?” Gareth’s eyes widened. “You mean that… flower patterned one?”Iva nodded twice.“How did it happen?” Gareth raised his voice. “No, who broke it? Was it the maids?”“No, it was Elena,” Iva looked at her.“It wasn’t me, Uncle,” Elena quickly responded.Just then, Adrian came out of the building with the broken pieces all neatly arranged on a wooden plank.“Elena isn’t the one who broke the cup, Dad,” Adrian made a quick explanation. “It’s quite obvious that this cup was broken before, even though Mom doesn’t want to admit it.”Iva snorted but said nothing.“No9w the real question is…” Adrian looked at everyone there, except Elena. “Who actually broke this tea cup?”The maids and butlers lowered their heads.“If they come

    “Did someone set me up?”Elena was no fool. She grew up in a house where her stepmother had given her challenge after challenge every day.Elena observed the broken pieces on the floor carefully.She thought that the glue was fresh, but it wasn’t.But the break lines did not look fresh.And that made her feel certain about one thing.The cup had already been broken before, and someone had already fixed it back with care, but the gluing at the handle wasn’t done well, so the cup slipped and fell.Before she could think further, she heard footsteps.The maids returned, but they didn’t come alone.They returned with Iva whose face had gone cold.Iva immediately saw the shattered pieces on the floor, and her face turned paler by ten shades.She glared at Elena. “Do you know what you just broke? This was the most favorite item of Sansa Claimer. Adrian will be furious when he sees what you’ve done to the item he treasures!”Elena frowned.The maids dramatically cried: “Madam, we told her to
