“I have no other idea except to meet the Albert Family and apologize directly. I believe that’s the best way out,” said Luna, still holding onto the same answer and idea.

“You mustn’t. That’s absolutely out of the question,” David replied, shaking his head. “That would be the same as degrading the dignity of the George Family.”

“Then what should I do?” Luna’s voice suddenly rose. It seemed her emotions were beginning to take control again.

She stared sharply at David and continued, “Besides, all of this started because of you, David. I’ve told you many times—if you hadn’t gone to the event at the Diamond Hall, maybe none of this would’ve happened.”

“Ever since that incident, my life has been anything but peaceful. I’m constantly haunted by deep guilt—especially toward the George Family.”

David remained silent. He didn’t want to argue with Luna.

To him, arguing with a woman was pointless.

Luna continued ranting. At that moment, all she wanted was to pour out her heart. She wante

    After Luna signed the documents, David and Daniel exchanged subtle smiles and nodded to each other. They both felt relieved.One problem had finally been resolved.David was very satisfied with Daniel's performance. Apparently, this man hadn't changed a bit over the years—always reliable, he thought."Alright, thank you, Miss. In three days, I will take care of the rest. After that, you will officially become the owner of the hotel and apartment."Once again, Luna was speechless. She truly didn’t know what to say. One thing was certain—she was extremely pleased and happy.She never imagined that she would come out as the “winner.” More than that, Luna never expected she would acquire the Albert Family's core business so easily.If she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, no one would believe it.“Luna, why do you still look tense? Aren’t you happy?” David Smith asked.“No, it’s not that, David,” she quickly replied. “I’m actually very happy. It’s just... this feeling is hard to expl

    "Is this Miss Luna George?" Instead of answering, the unknown caller responded with a question of his own."Yes, I’m Luna George," she answered honestly."Miss Luna, I’d like to ask for a bit of your time. Tomorrow afternoon, I’d like to meet you at the Eastern Star Restaurant. Second floor, table number one.""Wait a moment—who are you? Why are you asking to meet me there?""You’ll find out who I am tomorrow. What matters is, our meeting will be about the major business left behind by the Albert Family."Luna was immediately shocked upon hearing that. For a moment, she was speechless."Si-sir, are you serious?" she asked, her lips trembling slightly."I'm serious, Miss. That’s why you must come tomorrow afternoon. See you then."The call ended immediately. Luna stared at her phone for a while, still visibly confused.Could that person be trusted? Should she go to the Eastern Star Restaurant as instructed?Or should she just ignore it?"Luna, why do you look so puzzled?" David asked,

    Joshua Tyson, one of the sons of the Tyson Family Head and also Laura’s husband, was immediately at a loss for words. His lips parted slightly, but no words came out.Truthfully, Joshua had no intention of obstructing Madam Agatha’s efforts. But from another perspective, it would actually be much better if the George Family didn’t participate in this ‘competition’ at all.Because that was exactly what he wanted right now.“Grandmother...” After a few moments, Joshua finally spoke. “I think I have a pretty good idea.”Madam Agatha didn’t respond. She merely raised her eyebrows and looked at Joshua.“Even though the George Family and the Tyson Family aren’t the most powerful families in Phoenix City, if these two families unite to acquire shares and some of the former Albert Family’s companies, I believe our chances will greatly increase. A combined strength like that should be able to rival a single family ranked above us,” Joshua explained.Hearing that, almost everyone nodded in agre

    Laura didn’t say another word. Because at that moment, whether by coincidence or not, Madam Agatha was glancing her way.Although the glance seemed ordinary, it was enough to make Laura feel afraid. She immediately fell completely silent.A few moments later, the old woman spoke in a clear, loud voice.“Is everyone here?” she asked, scanning the room.“Yes, Ma’am,” Elena replied on behalf of everyone.Madam Agatha nodded several times. She then invited her large family to eat. The banquet was held simply.However, despite its simplicity, all the food served was delicious and expensive. Anyone could see that.After the banquet ended, the atmosphere became more relaxed. A few bottles of beer were brought out. Those who enjoyed drinking beer didn’t hesitate to start.“Do you all know why I called you here today?” Madam Agatha asked everyone present.Almost everyone gave the same answer. They shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know.Madam Agatha smiled. Then she continued, “This mo

    David and Daniel were already back inside the car. They looked calm and relaxed. Despite the commotion they had caused at the Green Leaf Restaurant, neither of them felt even the slightest fear. In fact, they didn’t even bother to think about it."Sir, what should I do now?" Daniel asked, breaking the silence."Destroy a few of the Albert Family’s businesses. Don’t let them set foot in this city again.""Alright, I’ll get to it right away. I’m sure that old man will regret acting recklessly for the rest of his life.""But remember this, Daniel — I don’t want anyone else to know about what we’ve done,"David didn’t want his presence and actions to be known by others in the same circle. Not because he was afraid, but because he still wanted to enjoy his current life.That’s why he always moved in silence, so his secret wouldn’t be exposed."Don’t worry, Sir. Trust me, I won’t disappoint you.""Good. I trust you."Without realizing it, they had already arrived near Luna’s house. David as

    "Yes, that's for sure. Ronald Albert would never run away from reality," he said confidently."But we still don't know who that person is, Sir. What if he has bad intentions toward you?" James looked worried. He feared something undesirable might happen to his master."Are you scared, James? Since when did you turn into a coward?"The old man who claimed to be Ronald Albert swiveled his chair. A pair of sharp eyes stared intensely at James."I... I’m only concerned about your safety, Sir," James replied nervously."Tch!" Ronald Albert sneered. "Don't be so dramatic, James. Trust me, everything will be fine.""Alright. I believe you.""Good. Now you may go. And don’t forget to prepare yourself properly."James nodded respectfully. Without delay, he withdrew and left the room.Ronald Albert remained seated. He reread the text message for the umpteenth time."Hmm... I can't wait to find out who dared to threaten me like this," he muttered, placing the phone on the table.A few hours late

    Everyone in the room turned their eyes to Luna at the same time. They all wore the same expression.“What’s your idea, Luna?” Laura quickly asked.“Tell us right now, Luna,” Mrs. Agatha followed up immediately.Luna was silent for a moment. Now it was her turn to look at everyone in the room.To be honest, Luna herself wasn’t confident in her idea. But what else could she do? At that moment, it was the only idea that came to mind.“Come on, Luna. Don’t leave us hanging,” said Mrs. Agatha, clearly impatient.“What if we apologize directly to the Albert Family? Maybe... maybe that would help resolve the issue. I believe, no matter what, they must still have some conscience—especially if we come to them willingly,” said Luna, a little nervously.As soon as she finished speaking, everyone’s facial expressions changed. They were shocked and did not expect Luna to say something like that.“Luna, are you out of your mind?” her mother immediately scolded.“Wait, did I hear that right?” said M

    Luna was now in the main hall of the George Family residence. Present in the room were her parents, her grandmother, and several close relatives.All of them sat around a large round marble table. The table was grand in size and topped with a wide array of delicious and appetizing dishes.The main hall—or meeting room—of the George Family was lavish. In each corner of the walls hung rare and expensive paintings.There was even a portrait of their extended family.“Luna, did you come here alone?” asked Luna’s mother, Elena George.“Yes, Mom,” Luna replied with a nod.“That useless husband of yours didn’t come along?” Mrs. Elena pressed.“No, Mom.”“Good. He doesn’t need to be brought here anyway. His presence wouldn’t bring any benefit,” Agatha George, Luna’s grandmother and the widow of Arthur George, added.“If he did come, he’d probably just create more trouble.”A young woman, around twenty-five years old, didn’t stay quiet. She had a beautiful face. Her name was Laura, a close rel
