Everything fell into place. Trey had not anticipated such a stroke of luck, as if the pieces had fallen together by his own design.Just then, the Gordon Group's freshly minted CEO, Alex, rolled into Trey's office in a wheelchair, with Carl, his document-wielding sidekick, in tow."Mr. Gordon, I've got something to report."Trey was a stickler for keeping work and personal life separate. Family ties meant nothing there. In the office, it was strictly business.Trey shot Carl a look and gestured dismissively. "Leave it."Message received: Alex could stay, Carl had to go.With a nod from Alex, Carl exited, carefully shutting the door behind him.Alex did not miss a beat and dove into his briefing."Mr. Gordon, here's everything on the Southern Crownlands diamond mine case. Walter's already signed off on the old contract. What's our next move?"They could either stick to the contract to the letter or challenge its legitimacy.However, one thing was crystal clear: Trey, the chair

Evangeline felt her eyes burn with fury as she scrambled to devise a way to clear the rumors.Evangeline zoomed in on the photo on her phone, a snapshot that had set the rumor mill ablaze about her and Alex.It was only when she recognized the backdrop that she remembered everything.She had slipped out to meet Alex, and that's when he had poured out his heart to her, his fingers brushing hers in a moment of confession.The photo was legitimate with no editing.However, the angle was perfect, capturing the way she gazed at Alex, eyes brimming with unspoken words.Whoever snapped that shot had to be lurking inside the cafe.What kind of sneaky photographer could snag a seat so close to them and snap a picture so boldly? Piecing together the clues, there was only one answer: Alex had orchestrated that whole setup. He must have given the green light for that photograph opportunity to go off flawlessly.She felt like a fool, having swallowed every word Alex said, even worrying abou

"Even if you're right, what's it to you? Evie, you're cornered with nowhere to go but into my arms."Alex gloated.He had meticulously cut off every possible escape for Evangeline before he even set his plan in motion. She had no choice but to watch as his scheme played out!After all, a woman who had been married to his brother, then rumored to be involved with him, would be a scandal in any family. For a woman who was divorced, it was downright devastating.The only way for Evangeline to save herself and protect her company was to agree to be with him.He was so sure of himself because he knew Evangeline was smart enough to recognize the best option when she saw it.When Evangeline caught on to his game, her face turned ghostly white with fury. "Alex, how could I have been so blind to your sleaziness?!"She regretted ever thinking of Alex as a confidant, a true friend who she could confide in. She even went out of her way to buy him a birthday present when she knew he was not

Yale's heart softened as he took in the mix of hurt and annoyance in his beloved girlfriend's eyes.He wrapped an arm around Roslyn's delicate shoulders, the tension draining from him as he propped his chin on her shoulder. "Are you still mad? Please, let's make up."He understood the root of Roslyn's anger.They had chosen to be together, but the age gap left Roslyn feeling insecure.Evangeline had just gone through a divorce, and Roslyn did not want to rub salt in her wounds, so they agreed to delay their wedding.However, there was one thing they could not wait for—starting a family.Yale was fit for his age, but they needed to start planning for a baby to put Roslyn's mind at ease. Giving up smoking was step one."Does it really matter to you if I'm angry?" Roslyn shot back, her words hitting Yale like a punch to the chest.Yale's stubbornness was to blame. He had insisted on treating Roslyn like she was on the same level as Evangeline, and he had gone about it in such an e

"I'm not going anywhere! Mr. Walter Gordon invited me, and he hasn't told me to leave. What gives her the right to kick me out?"The woman stood her ground, but Evangeline was running out of patience.With a subtle nod, Evangeline signaled the bodyguard, who promptly seized the woman."So you're the Foster family's darling princess, huh? Think you can do whatever you want? Please! Just another spoiled brat riding on her family's coattails." The woman writhed and fought back in the bodyguard's hold."Be quiet!" The bar owner barked in anger.She had single-handedly ticked off two of Avalon City's big shots, and she did not seem to care if it was the end of him!Evangeline, hearing that, had a change of heart and crooked her finger at the bodyguards.The woman was pushed before Evangeline, who gave her a dismissive once-over."My family's name is my ticket, and I'll use it as I please. What are you going to do about it?"Here's a piece of advice for you: better to put your energ
