Margret Owen's expression soured as the stranger made a bold and forward proposal. She took a deep breath before responding firmly, "I'm sorry, but I cannot entertain you if that's your intention." With that, she turned to walk away.But before she could take more than a few steps, Brenda stormed out of the nearby building, her rage palpable. Ever since her plan against Margret had failed, she had been searching for her sons to exact revenge. She had even gone to Margret's old house, only to find that she had moved out.Brenda's face darkened at the sight of Margret, whom she had not expected to see so soon after leaving her office in disappointment.Brenda addressed Margret with a cold tone, gritting her teeth in anger as she called out her name. Margret responded with irritation, clearly not in the mood to entertain her."What do you want, Brenda?" Margret asked.Brenda's tone became even more aggressive as she snapped back, "If you don't bring those bastards here, I will ensure tha

After making up his mind, Charlie Sr left the hospital with his entourage and got into their cars to head to Celestial Hotel. Upon arrival, Charlie Sr instructed Salvation and Stones before striding towards the entrance.As he approached, an average-height man with a pot belly and an unkempt moustache ran towards him, bowing his head in greeting. "Welcome, Sir Charlie Sr. I am the manager of Celestial Hotel and have been instructed by Peter to lead you to the private room," the manager said.Charlie Sr nodded and followed the manager to the private room, where he was presented with a menu. However, Charlie Sr waved it away, stating that he had no intention of ordering anything. He was wary of the possibility of his drink being spiked.Charlie Sr sat quietly in the private room, feeling frustrated and betrayed. He stood up abruptly, his anger mounting as he thought about how Chloe had fooled him.Before he could make it to the door, it swung open and Chloe and Peter walked in. Peter's

As the Presiding judge pounded the gavel, the courtroom fell into a hush."Attorney Hart," the judge called upon Charlie Sr's lawyer to proceed.Advancing towards the bench, Attorney Hart handed over the title deeds to the judge.Charlie Sr swore an oath and took his place in the witness box."These are the only assets that I possess," he stated firmly.The judge gave him a scrutinizing glare, then directed the plaintiff to share a copy of the title deeds with Chloe's lawyer.As soon as Chloe's attorney received a copy of the title deeds, he leapt to his feet and raised an objection."My Lord, it is implausible for an individual of Charlie Sr's stature to possess assets worth only two million dollars. This is inconceivable," he spoke in a deep tone.Attorney Hart responded with another piece of evidence, "My client's mother had already taken everything he inherited from Charlie Sr a few weeks ago. Whatever my client currently possesses was given to him by his mother."Peter's expressi

After Peter made his statement, the door behind Charlie Sr creaked open, and eighteen menacing-looking men strode into the room.Charlie Sr remained composed as he sneered, "Do you think I would come here unprepared?"Peter had a bad feeling and his face darkened as he asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"Charlie Sr shrugged nonchalantly and replied, "It's nothing."Peter narrowed his eyes, realizing that Charlie Sr was stalling for time after discovering the situation he was in.Peter burst out laughing hysterically before snorting coldly, "If you're counting on someone to rescue you, you're dreaming."Peter turned to his men standing behind Charlie Sr and ordered, "Tie him up."Charlie Sr ripped off his jacket, revealing an explosive device tightly wrapped around his body.Peter's face turned pale, and he frantically yelled, "Don't get too close! Don't touch him!"Upon seeing the explosive device strapped to Charlie Sr's body, Peter's men recoiled in fear and backed away.Peter r

Chloe grabbed her handbag and drove away from Peter's mansion, eventually arriving at Charlie Sr.'s home. Upon her arrival, the servants on duty gave her curious looks as she stepped out of her car. Butler Pleb was promptly informed of her presence."Chloe!" Butler Pleb exclaimed in surprise, having been privy to her recent activities."Good afternoon, Butler Pleb. Is my husband at home?" Chloe asked, a smile on her face.Butler Pleb's expression darkened slightly, but he refrained from reprimanding Chloe. "Welcome, Madam Chloe. Unfortunately, Sir Charlie Sr. is not here at the moment. Would you like to wait for him?""Of course," Chloe replied with a grin, before making her way into the living room. She settled onto the luxurious sofa and ordered champagne, sipping it leisurely while occasionally glancing at the wall clock.After a few minutes, footsteps approached the living room. Charlie Sr. entered and his eyes fell on Chloe. His expression darkened."What are you doing here, Chlo
