Peter PoV

Lizzy and Eva drive me crazy. They grumbled all the way home, cursing Leora with various harsh words that were and weren't in the language dictionary.

My mother was no better. Even though she looked quieter, every now and then she would also nod and confirm Eva and Lizzy's words so that they became even more enthusiastic about cursin.

"Shut up!"

Finally I shouted at them, because I couldn't take it anymore. My ears really hurt hearing their overlapping words.

Lizzy slapped my thigh hard, so the car almost swerved because I was shocked and momentarily lost control of the steering wheel.

"Lizzy, WHAT THE F*CK!" I snapped angrily. "You want to cause harm to all of us?"

"Why are you defending Leora, Peter? Why? Do you regret divorcing her now that you know she is the Jeremiah family's daughter?" said Lizzy in a sharp, high-pitched voice.

"Don't be crazy, Lizzy!" I said loudly. "You created your own hallucination."

"I'm not hallucinating, d*mmit!" Lizzy snapped.

    "This is huge," Lenore said in awe. "Is this all yours?" I scratched my head awkwardly. "Yes. I used to race a lot in high school and when I won, the money was quite big. After saving up, I submitted a proposal to my father to help me set up this circuit and this is it.... My father helped me find sponsors and investors." Lenore's clear eyes looked at me in awe, without her trying to hide it. "You're great, Evran. You're even building a second circuit, right?"I smiled and reached out to hug her. "We're both great and great people should stick together." Lenore laughed and stood on tiptoes to kiss my cheek. Lately she's looked fresher and has gained weight. My mother forced her to follow a nutritional program, like the ones implemented in hospitals for patients who are considered underweight. A top nutritionist made a complete meal schedule for Lenore and Soraya and checked them regularly. Lenore is very obedient to my mother and Soraya has become my mother's favorite granddaugh

    "What are you doing, Evran Jeremiah?" I looked up, distracting myself from my busy checking of the workshop's needs list that I had just received from Biand. Harold had his hands on his hips in front of me. His face was bright red and his gaze was piercing. He looked very angry and emotional. I stood up slowly from my seat and smiled. "What's wrong, Harold? Why did you enter my office without asking permission first and behave so rudely?" I asked in a cold, flat tone. "Have you ever learned about manners?" I was taller and bigger than Harold and I was sure he knew that if a fight broke out, he would be the loser. He lowered his hands from his waist. "You put my mother and sister in jail, Evran?" "Mother and sister-- Aah... The glamorous woman and the fat girl who abused a woman with her young daughter?" I asked with narrowed eyes. "They're your family? Tsk tsk, no wonder!" "What do you mean?" Harold snapped. "You're just as rude as them. I guess it's hereditary, huh?" I said

    Harold was fooled by my words. He diligently visited the circuit and bet big on every round. I spread my men and assigned them to disguise themselves as people who were used to betting and approach Harold to give him advice on this and that. Which car would go the fastest, or which racer was the most favored. As a layman in the world of car racing, but with a strong gambler's soul, of course Harold would be easier to trick. The first two wins made Harold arrogant and he boasted that he was a skilled player who was hard to beat in betting. "Stupid guy," said Biand, rubbing her cheek hard. "Hey, hey, chubby girl, you'll get your cheek sore if you rub it that hard!" I said, catching her hand. "And your cheek is clean. There's nothing here." "I'm disgusted," said Biand, pouting. "That damn Harold pinched my cheek repeatedly when Thomas won his round." I laughed. "Just let him get drunk first," I said, winking. "After two or three wins, he'll know the bitterness of defeat." "You k

    Frank Lawson's face turned bright red, after he heard what Harold said throughout his conversation with me. "That bastard, he thought he could make my sister his money machine," Frank cursed while clenching his fists. "Did you know, that the York family is in huge debt because the future head of the family is addicted to gambling?" "Really?" I asked in surprise. "I didn't think it was that bad. How did you know?" "I didn't like Harold, since the first time my sister brought him home. But he's a sweet-talker and his behavior is perfect, in front of my family. I hired a private investigator to investigate him and just got the results two days ago," Frank said with a gloomy face. "But, he just won a bet on a stallion named Harry Potter?" I said. "And his winnings were quite big." "Yes," Frank said. "He immediately deposited the money to the loan shark who lent him the money a few months ago, because the loan shark had started calling his mother and younger siblings to collect the m

    "No wonder you are so easy to throw away millions of money, it turns out you are the famous Mr. Evran Jeremiah," said Harold. I actually felt uncomfortable with the compliments he threw, but forced a smile for the sake of achieving my goal. I added more wine to his glass. He turned out to be a low-tolerance drinker, but he was high on style. Only three glasses in and he was already looking like a wreck. I stared at my favorite bottle of wine with satisfaction. It had been worth the long wait to open it."It's nothing," I said. "You will marry Emily?" I asked while pointing at Emily with my chin. "A very good choice. She is very beautiful and charming." Harold looked at Emily who was talking to another woman not far from our table. He is chuckled. "Actually, it was my mother's choice," said Harold half whispering. "I hope this time she can give me a son, unlike my previous wife." "Oh, have you been married before?" I asked."Yes. She is a beautiful woman, but she is poor. At firs

    "Uncle Eva!" The little girl's scream behind me made me turn around spontaneously. Soraya ran towards me while waving something in her hand. I caught her little body and carried her easily. She was so small and light. "Hi, what's that in your hand?" I asked while poking the tip of her sharp nose. "It's a potato," Soraya said while opening her fist. "Look. Uncle Lindon said that this potato was scattered from its mother. It was impatient and climbed up, so in the end it couldn't grow properly." "Oh, poor thing. It must be because she was naughty, that's why she became like this, right?" I said pretending to be sad. "Yes. But, I'm not naughty. I obey everything my mother says, so I can stay healthy and grow big," Soraya said seriously. "Good," I praised her while massaging the tip of her nose gently. "A good child will always obey her mother. Oh yeah, do you want to go with uncle to my garage this afternoon?" "What's going on at your garage?" Soraya asked with shining eyes. "
