“Ouch… that hurts. But yeah, I’m under a dry law.”“Poor you.”“IMy old man’s on medication because he caught a cold recently, so all the alcohol’s been hidden away for his health.”“I see. I hope your old man gets better soon.”“Yeah, he’ll be fine in a few days. You know he’s tough as nails, hahaha,” Brandon said, taking a sip of his water.“So… why did Laura kidnap my daughter?”“Well, I have something important to tell you, too.”“I’m listening.”“I want to raise the agreed price.”“What…?” Jayden looked at him in surprise before slightly furrowing his brow. “Oh no… now that’s just taking advantage, Brandon. I already agreed to renovate your entire kitchen with all the modern appliances and gadgets Laura wants, including that new special oven with a lock… which is already quite a sum and seems fair to me.”“Yes, but let’s say something very interesting happened a little while ago that you’d probably want to know about, and it comes with a price tag.”“Really? What happen

“Let me think...” Samantha said, frowning. “If I remember correctly, we broke up because of his mother. He was raised by a single mom, and she manipulated him a lot. She didn’t like me either, as she saw me as a gold-digging bitch only after their family’s money.”“What? Was that woman stupid or what?” Eric said, surprised, never imagining that someone would call his wife that.“Why do you say that, Dad?” Jayden asked.“Well, your mom couldn’t have been a gold digger because your grandparents had plenty of money. In fact, I borrowed some of it to grow the business and turn it into the powerhouse it is today.”“Really?” Jayden said, astonished.“Haha, yes, son. Actually, you were very little, but many times my parents took you in because they said they had more free time to look after you than Jayden’s parents, who were with us at the company.”“Oh... that’s why I have more baby photos with them.”“Hm... My in-laws were great people in many ways. Naturally, when I started making

The older man frowned. “No... what I’m doing will be worth it in a few days when I talk to Samantha.”“Why not just talk to her in person instead of this crazy kidnapping idea?”“Women like bad boys.”“Those are the tastes of some young women, but let me remind you that Mrs. Samantha is a grown woman and even a grandmother now.”“So what?”“That means you’re an old man too, so you should act your age.”“...” Gabriel’s eye twitched. “You’re crossing the line,” he said, clenching his fists tightly.“No, I’m just speaking the truth. Instead of doing all this crazy stuff, how about I set up a meeting with Samantha?”“What...?”“You know, have a meeting at a café or restaurant to talk about old times.”“That sounds like something an old man would do.”“You are an old man; you’re 56 years old.”“...” Gabriel grimaced at his words.“Yes, I think that’s the best thing to do,” the assistant said, pulling out his phone.“Don’t you dare.”“I will because I don’t want to see you los

I have good days and bad days, like everyone,” she said, looking him in the eyes.“You’re right.”“And I can’t complain either because I have the life I always wanted.”“What do you mean?”“Well, I found a wonderful man to share my life with, and we’ve built a beautiful family together,” she said, carefully observing his reactions.“Oh...” Gabriel felt awful hearing this, not the answer he had hoped for.“And you? How have you been? What have you been up to?”“Well... I’m good... I focused on managing several department stores.”“Oh, that’s great.”“Yeah...” he said, grimacing.“And did you get married?”“Well... yes, but don’t worry. My marriage only lasted a year before I got divorced.”“Oh wow, I’m sorry to hear that.”“No need to be. Honestly, I think it was for the best.”“Oh yeah? Why’s tha
