Elena’s POV:

I walked out of the kitchen holding a plate that had glasses filled with orange juice.

Gregg was right behind me, hands in pockets and a smile plastered on his face.

I felt fearful, trapped and powerless. Also deeply furious with myself for what I’m doing.

Seeing me bring the drinks, Cassandra smiled.

I felt anger curling up my spine, but Gregg’s footsteps behind me made that anger go back down.

I tried to give the drinks to Paul and Britney, but they refused to take the drinks.

    In Salem city.Ryan and Vivian came to meet Brandon Conreid at a private cafe, where only those with the membership were allowed.A cup of coffee cost 110 dollars here, whereas a sandwich cost close to 200 dollars.The prices felt excessive even for Vivian. “So you want me to compete with the Claimer family…” Brandon faintly smiled. “I’ve already been doing that for a while now.”“We will help you at the low level, sir,” Vivian said. “We have connections at the low level.”“You really think your company can benefit me?” Brandon put forward a file. “Words are worthless. Results are the only honest metric.”Vivian and Ryan checked the file.“That’s a property I couldn’t buy even with all the connections I had,” Brandon said. “That small shop is right in front of a giant shopping mall that I own. I haven’t been able to move him no matter how much money I offered. One of his sons works in the media, so if I go after him, I’ld earn bad fame. I’ll give you three, no, five days. Show me wha

    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
