Ava shook her head, her voice trembling with emotion. "I can't, Dad. Please, you have to help me. You're his biggest investor. You can threaten him to be with me. Tell him that you'll withdraw your investment from his company if he doesn't date me."George's eyes widened in shock. "Ava, that's not how things work. You can't use my investment as a means to threaten someone. It's unethical and wrong."George's shock turned to disappointment as Ava continued to push for him to use his investment as leverage. "Ava, I already told you that it's not ethical or right to threaten someone like that. And besides, Alexander is a billionaire. Withdrawing our investment wouldn't affect him that much. It would only hurt us because we're receiving good profits from our investment in Sterling Corporation," George explained.Ava's frustration boiled over once again, and she began throwing things around the room. "I can't believe you're not even willing to help me, Dad! You're supposed to be on my side

But what about your date with Caleb tonight?""No worries, we'll be back in plenty of time for my date," Olivia reassured her.Kate felt grateful for her friend's thoughtfulness. "Thank you so much, Olivia. Let me get ready quickly."As Kate rushed to get ready, Olivia took a moment to admire the new interior design of the Mansion. It was a cozy space, filled with Alexander's unique sense of style. She couldn't wait to see the rest of the family again.As Kate hurriedly got ready, Olivia pulled out her sleek laptop from her bag and began typing away. After a few minutes, she closed it and got up from the couch."Ready to go, Kate?" Olivia asked, tucking her laptop back into her bag.Kate nodded and they both headed out to Oliver's car. The drive to Averill Park took about an hour, during which Kate
Mrs. Morrone's face filled with concern. "Oh no, is he okay?" she asked, standing up from the couch."I don't know yet, but I need to go down to the school right away," Kate replied, her mind racing with different scenarios.Nancy stood up as well, ready to offer her support. "Do you want us to come with you?" she asked, her voice calm and reassuring.Kate nodded gratefully. "No thanks, Olivia will come with me Please stay with Mom".Mrs. Morrone gave them all a tight hug. "Go quickly, and let me know how it goes," she said, her voice filled with worry.Kate rushed out the door, with Olivia following closely behind. As they got into the car, Kate's mind was racing with different thoughts and scenarios. She didn't know what to expect when they get to the school, but she knew that she had to be there for her son.Olivia drove as fast as she could to Averill Park School District, and in no time, they arrived at the school. They quickly made their way to the principal's office, where they
Kate felt a surge of pride in her son as they walked out of the principal's office. He had stood up for himself and for her, and he had managed to get an apology too. "I'm proud of you, Sebastian," she said, giving him a small smile. "You did the right thing."Sebastian smiled back, still feeling a bit shaken from the encounter but relieved that it was over. "Thanks, Mom," he said, before they walked out of the school, ready to put the incident behind them and move on.Sebastian, Olivia, and Kate arrived home, feeling drained from the events of the day. As they walked into the living room, they saw Mrs. Morrone pacing back and forth with her walking stick. Kate immediately spoke up, concern etched on her face. "Mom, don't pace like that. Your joint after all your joint replacement surgery isn't fully healed yet," she warned.But Mrs. Morrone seemed to be in a state of panic as she dragged herself towards Sebastian, checking his body all over. "Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" she aske
Olivia hurried home, eager to get ready for her date with Caleb. As she walked into her bedroom, she couldn't help but feel excited and nervous at the same time. "I hope I look good enough for him," she thought to herself.She quickly changed into her gorgeous dress, admiring herself in the mirror. "You got this, Olivia," she said, giving herself a confident smile.Next, Olivia styled her hair into loose waves and applied light, natural-looking makeup. Finally, she slipped on her favorite pair of heels and added a few accessories to complete her look.As she made her way to the car, Olivia checked her appearance in the mirror one last time. "Okay, I think I'm ready," she said to herself with a deep breath.As she drove to the restaurant, Olivia couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in her stomach. "I really hope he likes what I'm wearing," she thought, glancing at herself in the rearview mirror.Finally, she arrived at the restaurant and walked inside, feeling a little nervou
Caleb's eyes widened in surprise and delight as Olivia's words sunk in. He felt a surge of joy and relief wash over him, and he couldn't help but smile."Really?" he said, his voice filled with disbelief."Yes, really," Olivia said, grinning at him. "I've loved you for a long time, Caleb. I just didn't know how to tell you."Caleb felt a weight lifted off his shoulders as he leaned across the table and kissed Olivia tenderly. At that moment, everything felt perfect, and they both knew that they had found something truly special.After their tender kiss, Caleb sat back in his seat, feeling a sense of elation and relief wash over him. He looked deeply into Olivia's eyes and took a deep breath."Olivia, I want to make this official. Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, his voice filled with sincerity.Olivia felt her heart swell with joy as she looked at Caleb. She knew without a doubt that she wanted to be with him."Yes, Caleb. I would love to be your girlfriend," she said, her smile
Kate raised her head, her eyes widening in shock as she looked at the image on Alexander's phone. "This building is for my fashion house?" she asked incredulously.Alexander nodded, a proud smile spreading across his face. "It's located in the busy center of New York, and I've already arranged for lots of fabrics and materials to be delivered there. It's all yours," he said, his voice filled with excitement.Kate was speechless, her heart overflowing with gratitude and joy. After a few seconds, she rushed over to Alexander and threw her arms around him in a tight embrace. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to express her gratitude. "Thank you so much," she managed to say between sobs.Alexander held her close, feeling a sense of contentment wash over him. He had always known that he wanted to support Kate's dreams, and now, he had finally been able to make it happen. Kate's heart overflowed with joy as Alexander presented her with an entire building for her fashion house. Over
After thoroughly inspecting each room in the building and checking around the stairways, Alexander turned to Kate and asked, " Kate, would you be heading home or would you be staying back at the building? I need to head over to my company, but I want to make sure everything is in order here."Kate nodded enthusiastically. "Of course, Alexander, I'll be staying back at the building! I'm excited to start working on my designs. I want to show the public what I'm made of!"Alexander chuckled at her enthusiasm. "I'm glad you're so happy, Kate. Keep up the good work." With that, he headed out to his car and drove off while Kate stayed behind to dive into her work.As she rummaged through the fabrics and materials, Kate felt a surge of creative energy. She had been waiting for this opportunity for so long, and now that it was here, she was determined to make the most of it. With a pencil and sketchbook in hand, she began to design each piece from scratch, pouring her heart and soul into ever
