last update Date de publication: 2026-10-12 15:35:34

The Vance family villa was in absolute ruin.

Overturned crystal vases, shattered porcelain plates, and crumpled financial newspapers littered the floor of the grand living room. The continuous, agonizing ringing of three landline phones cut through the thick, tense air like a alarm bell.

"Cancel the meeting?! What do you mean they canceled the meeting?!" Carter roared into his phone, his neck veins bulging as he paced violently across the Persian rug. "We had an agreement! I am Carter Vance!"

    "Removed?! How dare they remove me?!" Carter roared, kicking his desk. "I’ve attended every single year! I sat in the front row next to international delegates!"What Carter didn't know—and what his fragile ego refused to acknowledge—was that for the last three years, the event committee hadn't invited him. They had sent those golden invitations because Evelyn, working quietly behind the scenes as Chairperson of the Romeo Group, had personally ordered the committee to include her husband on the guest list.Without Evelyn pulling the strings, Carter Vance was nothing more than a mid-tier executive completely invisible to the global elite."This is unacceptable! It's a humiliation!" Carter raged, barging into the living room where Chloe was reading a magazine. "If I don't show up at that summit tomorrow night, the entire capital will know the Vance Group was demoted!"Chloe’s eyes flickered with opportunistic calculations. She stood up, wrapping her arms around Carter’s neck, putting on

    At that moment, the study door pushed open gently.Chloe walked in, wearing a loose silk robe, holding a tray with a warm cup of coffee. She looked tired, pale, and completely innocent, stepping forward with a sweet, devoted smile."Carter, darling," Chloe murmured softly, setting the coffee on his desk. "Did... did you find a solution? You look so relieved... If there's really no other way, I'm willing to accompany Boss Deng for you, anything for you and our future."Carter leaped up from his chair, grabbing Chloe and pulling her into a tight, frantic embrace."Chloe! You are my lucky star!" Carter yelled in pure triumph, kissing her forehead repeatedly. "Young Master Howard just agreed to invest $40 million! We don't need that disgusting Boss Deng! My company is saved!"Chloe buried her face in Carter’s chest, hiding the dark, wicked smirk that spread across her lips."Oh, thank goodness, darling!" Chloe gasped dramatically, pretending to wipe away tears of relief. "I was praying fo

    Chloe felt a wave of icy, paralyzing terror wash over her.She stared at Carter, waiting for him to tear Boss Deng apart, waiting for him to shield her like the heroic CEO he always claimed to be. But Carter just stood there, his bloodshot eyes staring blankly at the floor, his breathing heavy and erratic.He was actually calculating the price. He was genuinely considering trading her to a repulsive, seventy-year-old monster for thirty million dollars.You hypocritical bastard! Chloe screamed internally, her stomach turning with profound disgust. You claimed to love me! You claimed I was your world! But the moment your money is threatened, you'd throw me into a pit of wolves!"Carter..." Chloe sobbed, putting on her most terrified, fragile expression as she pulled on his sleeve. "I... I feel faint... My stomach hurts... the baby..."Carter snapped out of his dark trance, looking at Chloe's pale face. He cleared his throat, trying to salvage a shred of his dignity in front of Boss Deng

    The Vance family villa was in absolute ruin.Overturned crystal vases, shattered porcelain plates, and crumpled financial newspapers littered the floor of the grand living room. The continuous, agonizing ringing of three landline phones cut through the thick, tense air like a alarm bell."Cancel the meeting?! What do you mean they canceled the meeting?!" Carter roared into his phone, his neck veins bulging as he paced violently across the Persian rug. "We had an agreement! I am Carter Vance!"The line went dead with a harsh dial tone.Carter threw the phone against the leather sofa, clutching his head as a cold, suffocating panic gripped his chest. In less than three days, the stock of the Vance Group had plunged by forty percent. The bank had issued an emergency margin call, all twelve major investors had pulled out, and his domestic suppliers were threatening to sue for breach of contract."It’s that bitch! It’s all that disgraceful, ungrateful whore’s fault!" Helen shrieked from th

    "No! It's not true! They're lying!" Mrs. Gable sobbed, slamming her forehead against the floor as she begged. "Chairperson, please! I was foolish! I'll give it all back! I'll sell my house and give you every penny!""You'll give it back from a prison cell," Julian interjected coldly."It's my dress! It's mine!" Mia suddenly screamed, throwing a wild, spoiled tantrum on the floor. She stomped her feet, clawing violently at the carpet. "My mommy owns this castle! You mean lady! Give me back my diamond necklace! I want my music box! I want to go back to my room. This house is ours, I order you all to leave!"The surrounding staff looked at the bratty child with utter disgust. For years, Mia had treated the lower servants like dirt, strutting around the mansion like an heiress. Now, her ugly, spoiled nature was fully exposed."Take the dress off her," Evelyn commanded flatly, without a shred of emotion. "And return the pendant to Lily."A female security officer stepped forward, taking th

    Mrs. Gable’s knees gave out completely. She crashed onto the polished marble floor, her face draining of all color as a cold, paralyzing terror gripped her chest."Ch-Chairperson...?" Mrs. Gable gasped, her voice barely a squeak. "You... you are the owner...?"Beside her, Brenda lay bleeding on the tile, her eyes wide with hysterical horror. The mother of the child she had just threatened to throw down the stairs, the woman she called a "cheap nanny"—was the legendary, multi-billionaire Chairperson of the Romeo Group. The single most powerful entity in the entire country.Evelyn didn't even waste a single glance on the trembling women. She gently adjusted Lily in her arms, wrapping her coat snugly around her daughter's shivering shoulders."Julian," Evelyn said, her voice dropping into a register of sub-zero ice."Yes, Chairperson?" Julian bowed respectfully."Take these insects down to the grand living room," Evelyn commanded softly. "Force them to kneel. If anyone dares to stand up,
