"Alex, is this the woman you married?" Emma asked Alex, pointing to Claire.

Alex nodded. "That's right. This is my wife."

Immediately Emma's eyes widened. A happy expression appeared on her face.

"Your wife is so beautiful. You two really hit it off," Emma praised, clasping Claire's hands.

Claire's face blushed as she looked down shyly. "Thank you, Grandma."

"Your grandfather came too. He has to see how beautiful you are," Emma said excitedly.

"Is grandpa here?" asked Alex, his forehead wrinkling.

Because of what Vincent had said, Emma would be coming to New York alone.

"Yes. After hearing that you got married, your grandfather immediately changed his work schedule and wanted to come with me."

Right after Emma said that, a rather tall old man with a slightly distended belly called out and waved from a distance.

"Alex!"

"Grandpa?!" Alex smiled broadly and immediately hugged his grandfather, letting out his longing for a few moments.

"You little brat! How could you get married without t

    "Alice, what are we going to do? I don't want my reputation to suffer." Rachel pursed her lips."I don't know either. 700,000 dollars is a lot of money. I don't want to blow my savings on something so stupid." Alice replied curtly as she paced back and forth, racking her brain to find a way out of their problem."Your dad might be able to help. Or... just ask your boyfriend. Noah's pretty rich. He can definitely get you $700,000."Hearing that, Alice stopped and smiled.It was true. Noah loved her very much. He would definitely give her the $700,000 for nothing.[Noah, help me. I just got robbed. They took all my money. I was going to buy a new bag and a new watch].[What? You were robbed? Alice, be careful. Don't let your guard down when you're out alone. Say, how much do you need?][Okay, Noah. I'll be careful next time. If possible, I'll need $700,000][$700,000? Alice, that's a lot of money][I know, I thought you could help me because you're my boyfriend. But never mind. I'll...]

    In the end, Claire decided to take Alex's advice. She would come to the Golden Era party.Since Alex said he had important business, Claire was accompanied by Mike to a boutique to look for the dress she would wear tonight.However, Claire was surprised when Mike took her to "Glenca Boutique," a luxury boutique frequented by celebrities and other high society people."Grandpa, I can't buy clothes here." Claire slowed her steps as Mike led her into the boutique."Why?" Mike frowned.Claire's eyes took in the grand building of the boutique and it certainly didn't suit her."Looks like we're in the wrong place. This is a famous boutique owned by a popular fashion designer named Mrs. Glenca. I have heard that all the clothes in this boutique are very expensive. Our money won't be enough to buy a dress from this boutique. I'll just buy a dress from a cheap clothing store," Claire said, grabbing Mike's arm and trying to lead him away.But Mike didn't want to move. "Don't worry, Claire. I kn

    Noah's jaw tightened, his mouth snorted in annoyance after getting a firm refusal from Claire.“Of all the dresses in this boutique, why do you want the one I'm wearing, Alice? As expected, you've always been ambitious to grab everything that belongs to others. No matter what, your envious nature will always stick with you.” Claire said as she folded her hands in front of her chest.Alice's face instantly turned black. Her eyes were wide open with her mouth hanging open.How could Claire dare to say such things about her.“You're wrong, Claire. Actually, since I came to the 'Glenca boutique' a few weeks ago, I've been eyeing that black dress you're wearing. I was going to pick it up now. But... it turns out that you came first.”“Really?” one of Claire's eyebrows rose. A look of disbelief shone in her eyes. “If it's true that you've been eyeing this black dress, why did you ask the boutique employees about it earlier?”Alice's mouth clamped shut. She was suddenly tongue-tied, unable t

    Seeing the old man defending Claire, Noah grinned and said, “Hey, old man? You must be Claire's affair partner, right?” Noah accused, then his eyes scanned Mike's body from top to bottom. “Judging by your appearance, you look like a rich man. No wonder Claire had a lot of money all this time. Apparently, she sold her body to you.”A wicked smile spread across Alice's face.'Claire is really desperate. She wants to live a luxurious life so badly that she's willing to become the mistress of a wrinkled old man,' Alice muttered to herself, as her eyes scanned Mike and her lips sneered at how disgusting it was to be the mistress of an old man, even if he was wealthy.Hearing these accusations, Mike suddenly widened his eyes. His hands were clenched into fists.“How dare you say that about Claire? Who the hell are you?” Mike's voice conveyed an unstoppable rage.“I am Noah Sanders, the owner of Sanders Company. And I don't need to ask you about yourself, old man. I'm sure you're just anothe

    As soon as Noah and Alice left, Glenca immediately told the security guard at her boutique to never let them visit again.“Mr. Mike, Miss Claire, I'm sorry. I feel so bad about what just happened. I promise, this will not happen again when you come back to my boutique,” Glenca said as she bowed half of her body towards Mike and Claire.“It's okay. The important thing is that they will never show up at your boutique again. So, next time, Claire and I can shop in comfort.” Mike put his arm around Claire with a big smile.However, Claire's face showed confusion.For some reason, Claire felt that there was something odd about Glenca being so respectful and obedient to Mike.Despite having many questions raging in her mind, Claire chose to try to ignore them.“Grandpa, is it true that this dress has been paid for by you?” asked Claire, looking at Mike's face.“That's right, dear. This dress is already yours.”Instantly, Claire's eyes widened. “No, Grandpa. I can't accept this dress. 3 mill

    Golden Era's birthday party...With security guarding every entrance, the invited guests handed in their invitations, then joined the main room that served as the center of the party.Alice smiled widely, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the tall building before her.“Let's go inside!” called Noah, answered by Alice with a nod of her head, then she flanked Noah's arm and stepped together.“Noah, your uncle is really great. He's really reliable. Thanks to him, we were able to get on the guest list at this party,” Alice said as she continued to walk beside Noah.“Keep your voice down! People will hear it. No one should know that we're dark guests,” Noah whispered, bringing his lips to Alice's ear.Alice nodded her understanding, and they arrived at the entrance of the party.Both of their invitations were checked, and then they were welcomed in.However, Alice and Noah stopped their steps, and frowned when they saw Claire walking in her black dress that made her look stunning.Claire,

    “Mr. Knight!” Aaron's speech was cut off by the exclamation of a female invited guest who sounded excitedly approaching her friend.“I overheard Mrs. Nova talking to someone earlier that Mr. Knight is already here. He might be around us. Let's go and see the people, in case we meet him,” said the woman who was then greeted excitedly by her friend. They walked away towards the center of the ongoing party.'Mr. Knight is already here?' Alice murmured inwardly. Her lips turned up in a smirking smile. She must not be preceded by those flirtatious women.She had to be the first woman to catch Mr. Knight's attention.Having said that, Alice immediately pulled Noah's hand and stopped the argument between Noah and Alex.“That's enough. There's no point in us talking to them, we'd better go inside and find Mr. Knight.”Noah nodded. That was indeed their goal.The hope of being able to cooperate with the Golden Era was still soaring in their hearts, until now.After they left, Alex turned to C

    Suddenly Ronald's eyes widened when he saw that his shirt was wet.His jaw hardened. His eyes glared angrily at Claire.“You bitch! Don't you know how much my suit costs? Even if you collected your salary for a year, you wouldn't be able to afford it. And now you're ruining it. I don't want to know, you have to pay compensation. I'm asking for 200,000 dollars!” Ronald said as he cleaned his suit with a tissue, then his hand gripped Claire's hand.“I'm sorry, Mr. Ronald. I don't care how much your suit costs and I won't pay any damages. You made me do this yourself,” Claire retorted, not to be outdone.Her chin was raised at Ronald. Seeing Claire's attitude that showed absolutely no fear, made Ronald even more furious.Clenching his jaw, Ronald said, “You're the only employee who dares to defy me, Claire. You will know the consequences. Today, I'll talk to Mrs. Nova to get you fired from Golden Era.”The threat surprised Claire a little.Claire had heard about Ronald often relying on h

    Alex grasped Claire's hand tightly. "She just worked with Tristan. Tristan is already in jail. Now it's Alice and her mother's turn to rot in prison. They seemed very happy after Alice signed the letter transferring the ownership of my company. Our plan worked. So happy, they didn't suspect that it was just a fake letter to trap them," Alex said, then hugged Sandra's body from the side while giving her arm a stroke.Before this, Claire had listened to many explanations from Alex. About Alex who had never touched the fake Claire during the time the real Claire disappeared from his life.Claire was relieved that her husband hadn't spent a single night with another woman. Likewise, Alex is happy that his original Claire has returned.Even though Alex had yet to reunite Claire with their two children.“Just arrest her now!” Alex ordered the two policemen standing in front of him.“Yes, sir.”The policemen nodded and hurri

    “Honey, I'm home!” Alice stepped into the house carrying a lot of papper bags filled with the luxurious things she had just bought.She even ignored Alex's children who were eagerly approaching her. Valen walked quickly over to Alice to show her the results of her drawing at school that got a 100.Until the girl pouted and sat on the sofa hugging her drawing book and watching Alice unpacking."You're finally home. I've been waiting for you." Alex came down the stairs still wearing his work suit.Alice turned around with a smile. "Look dear! I bought some nice shirts for you earlier. Oh yes, today I bought more jewelry and branded bags for my collection. Actually, there are many more purchases placed in the trunk. But they're being taken away by the waiters. Do you think I'd look good with this bag?" Alice said and took one of the Gucci brand bags and showed it to Alex."Good. You match the bag. You didn't buy any toys or stuff for the k

    Claire was startled, looking quickly at Tristan. Then she quickly shook her head. "No, it's not. My name is not Wilona. I'm not his girlfriend either. He lied. My name is Clai-"“Wilona!” snapped Tristan with a tightened jaw. His intonation was full of emphasis, which surprised Claire.Claire recalled Tristan's threat to kill her biological mother if she dared to confront him at the airport.“Can we see your boyfriend's face?” the policeman asked again.“What for? Or let us see his passport.”"What's your purpose? We're in a hurry to fly to Australia. You can prevent us from leaving. Besides, there's no requirement that we show you our passports at the airport," Tristan firmly refused.His arms tightened around Claire from the side.Claire's heart began to fret.On the other hand, she felt worried about her mother. However, when else could she escape with this golden opportunity?"Very

    Claire brushed him off, then spat in Tristan's face, making him jump in surprise as he closed his eyes.Tristan's right hand was clenched tightly on the steering wheel. It wasn't that he wanted to punch Claire in return, but he was annoyed that she hadn't conquered him yet."Just watch! I'll report you to the police!""Keep your plans to yourself. The police won't help you either. They won't believe you if you claim to have been kidnapped and claim to be Mrs. Knight. Because the fact is, everyone knows that Mrs. Knight is still by Alex's side."Claire was stunned by Tristan's words. “So it's true, there's a woman claiming to be me and she's staying with Alex?”Tristan replied with a lopsided smile.“That's your plan, right, Tristan?”"Yes, dear. It was all I could do not to lose you," Tristan replied, grinning.Claire's heart felt like it was being broken into pieces. It was devastating to think of her h

    "Lately, Claire has been shopping for fancy clothes and bags. I don't forbid it, but this is very strange. Usually Claire doesn't care about how expensive the bags and clothes she wears are. She's never been crazy about luxury goods. I don't know why I feel that Claire's character is changing day by day," Alex muttered, scratching his forehead that wasn't itchy.Rubbing his face, Alex exhaled softly.Then a knock on the door distracted him.“Come in!”The door creaked open. Vincent came in with a slow exhale, his expression one of weariness."Sorry, Mr. Knight. There was a bit of a commotion on the seventh floor," Vincent said, informing him."What's the commotion? Why not have security take care of it? Why did you come to my office? Did you think I wasn't busy?!" Alex scowled."I apologize again. The thing is, this commotion was created by Mrs. Knight."“Claire?!” Alex chuckled at that.What was

    "Don't cry! I believe you," Alex said, softening his voice.Alice seized the moment to take things further.Her hands slowly moved down Alex's broad chest under the brown pajamas. Then Alice's fingers were about to unbutton Alex's pajamas one by one.The top three buttons were undone. Alice's eyes widened with pleasure at the sight of the firm chest on which she would rest her head after sex.However, Alice's reverie was interrupted when Alex suddenly grabbed both her hands and pulled them away from her body."Why Alex? Why don't you want me to touch you?" Alice asked disappointedly."Don't do that yet, Claire. I'm not feeling very good tonight. Next time," Alex said as he touched Alice's pouting cheeks.“But...” Alice was getting bolder and bolder with the buttons of Alex's shirt.But the naughty hand movement was immediately restrained by Alex. "Sorry, dear. I can't yet. Now go to bed first," Alex concluded as she

    Alex and his family had just returned from a vacation in Paris.There were some oddities about his wife while they were enjoying their vacation.One of them was his wife's complete disregard for Valen when the boy was pensive alone in their hotel room.Yes! Valen was mostly pensive in the hotel. While his wife was busy playing with her cell phone and checking her groceries.Alex was astonished. Usually his wife was the least likely to let Valen or their youngest son be pensive alone, let alone with a sad face."You can finally sleep in your room again, Valen. Are you happy?" Alex walked into her daughter's room.Tonight Valen had changed into her favorite hellokitty print pajamas.Alex had also dressed up in brown striped pajamas with short sleeves."Yes, Dad. I'm glad to be home again." Valen replied, smiling with his toothless teeth.Alex smiled broadly, sitting on the edge of the bed as he gently rubbed Valen's arm.

    "I've been in this house for quite some time. I haven't even met my children and husband yet. You must have seen the news wrong. Alex and I have never taken a vacation to Paris with our child," Claire said, shaking her head slowly.Hearing Claire's confession, Lenny was shocked.Claire said she's been in this house for a long time? Then, who is the woman with Alex right now?"I was kidnapped. I was in Tristan's house for almost a month. Tristan is a man obsessed with me, he locked me up, forbid me to see my family. Help me, Lenny, I want to see my husband. By now Alex and our two children must be looking for me. They're probably worried about me." Both of Claire's hands held Lenny's.Claire's words this time made Lenny even more stunned. His mouth was hanging open as he could not believe Claire's statement."But Mrs. Knight. I don't think your husband and son are worried about you.""What?! How could you come to such a conclusion?" Claire lo

    With all her might, Claire tried to scream. Hoping that her husband would hear and recognize her voice.Unfortunately, Alex's car was already too far away.Claire's tears broke out. Her body suddenly went limp. If only she could make eye contact with Alex, surely he wouldn't think twice about saving her."Mr. Tristan knows you tried to run away from home. He is very angry and waiting for you. Obey us, and we won't hurt you," threatened one of the bodyguards as he instructed the driver to drive the car back to Tristan's house.Upon arriving at Tristan's residence, Claire, who was already weak, let the two bodyguards hold her hand and entered the living room.There, Claire's eyes immediately met with Tristan's eyes that were filled with anger.The man's gaze looked sharply at her, as if he wanted to pounce on her.Claire gave up, she didn't care if Tristan wanted to kill her right now.Clenching his fists firmly, Tristan walked d
