After discussing the plan for fifteen minutes, the lawyer left the cafe. They made an appointment to meet again there in two hours. Samuel contacted a few stock brokers and asked them to buy the Jewelry Palace stock. He wanted to decrease the price in just a few hours. So, when the scheme began, they started buying the stock, and the price increased quickly. It attracted more people to buy, so the price rose even higher. However, as Samuel ordered to do a major sale fifteen minutes later, the price plummeted, and there was a panic selling in the market. It was all over the news, and as a result, the price dropped even faster. The board of commissioners had an urgent meeting right away. Tom Brooke was the most sought person for the meeting as they wanted to ask him how the price could drop. Tom locked himself in the working room while his assistant knocked on the door. “Sir, you must attend the meeting soon.” “Go away! I need time to think!” Tom said. “But sir, the commissioners

Samuel and the former chairman board assigned the vice CEO as the temporary CEO. The temporary CEO would assist Amy later to do the work. Amy was still too shocked because of knowing her uncle was the one who was responsible for her parents’ deaths. That’s why Samuel didn’t tell her about the future plan: to return Jewelry Palace to her and place Amy as the new CEO. But all the staff knew about it, and they supported the plan because regardless of her young age, Amy was the legitimate heir of Peter and Melanie. She had any right to continue her parents’ legacy. After dealing with Tom Brooke and returning the company to Amy (though she didn’t know about it yet), Samuel started thinking of a plan to destroy Jacob and Gwen. But before that, he remembered something. So, he called someone. It was 8 p.m. when Amy woke up. Samuel let her get rest and didn’t disturb her. After having dinner with Samuel, she checked her phone. There were ten missed calls from Caroline. So, Amy immediately ca

Instead of helping, Tanya, Jacob’s mother, scolded Gwen’s father. She even said, “My son has ended his relationship with your daughter. Please don’t disturb me again!” Then she ended the call. Gwen’s father was too shocked to say anything. He put the phone on the table. His wife stared at him and impatiently asked, “What did Jacob’s parents say?” “It’s his mother who picked up my call. She said Jacob has already ended their relationship with Gwen.” “What?! But they will get married in a few months. How can he end the relationship so easily?” Gwen’s father said nothing. Since his wife kept complaining, finally he snapped. “Stop it! It’s your fault! You didn’t teach Gwen well. Now she is humiliating our family. She can’t even keep her fiance!” “Don’t talk to me like that! You, as her father, what did you do to teach her too? Huh? Why did you only blame me?” Gwen’s father rushed to leave his wife, but Gwen’s mother held his arm. He pulled his arm, but his strength to pull his a

The informants and guards whom Samuel hired could see what happened. They scratched their hair and shrugged as they suspected the worst. “Our boss won’t like this,” one informant said. “Hey, but there may be a good explanation for this. Mrs. Hoffner doesn’t seem like a foolish woman to me. You must see when she looked at our boss. I think she loves him. So, I’m sure there is a good explanation for this.” The first man rubbed his jaw. “It’s true. Also, I can see how much our boss loves his wife. I was shocked at first to know he was married. But then, after seeing her, I can see how suitable both of them are together.” “Hmm? How?” “Well, you know, our boss is wealthy and powerful. He is handsome too. Then our madam is young and quite pretty. She is nice and kind. I wonder if her appearance or character that attracted our boss.” “Maybe both?” another guard said. The first one shrugged. “Maybe. But I may ask her driver first. Who knows if he knows more information?” “Good idea!”

Jacob called Amy, but she ignored it. After three times, he finally sent a text message. ‘Amy, I need your help badly. Can we talk? I promise I won’t take your time for a long time.’ Amy read the message, but she was torn between whether to reply or ignore it too. After thinking for a while, she decided to not reply to the message. However, Jacob sent another text message. ‘My family is in big trouble. It’s about life and death situations. Can you lend me money?’ She finally called him. “What happened?” “Oh, thank goodness! It’s my father. He is caught by someone. The one who caught him demanded so much money. If we don’t send it to them, my father will be killed.” Amy gasped. “Oh, no! How much do they ask?” “Twenty billion ….” “What?! How can they ask so much money?” “My father has a debt, a gambling debt. They sent my mother a piece of my father’s little finger.” Jacob’s voice trembled. “If you have it, can I borrow the money? I know it may take a lifetime to pay for it, bu
