"He said it's your responsibility to find out on your own," he replied.

"Yes, Mr. Aiden, I understand that it's my job. But you're not answering my questions. Can you please cooperate with me?"

"I am cooperating, but why do you keep asking unnecessary questions?" Aiden responded.

Briana sighed in frustration. This man is completely unreasonable, and he lacks emotional intelligence.

"Mr. Aiden, I suggest you take some time to reflect on your feelings for her. Determine whether you love or hate her. Consider how you would treat her if she approached you or if you would let her go. These are the questions you need to answer for yourself," Brianna said seriously.

Aiden listened attentively. Brianna might be right; he needs to sort things out on his own. Maybe he still harbors resentment towards her. He talked to her for a while and then left.

Everly was in her room, engrossed in watching a reality show, when Miss Harrison entered.

"Dear Everly, how are you doing?" Miss Harrison asked.

    "Well people like you are supposed to be on the street hawking. Not a special place like this.""Really, but sis I didn't know. Now what are we going to do?" Emine feigns ignorance. Everly had goosebumps all over her when she saw her pretentious look. Everly was the only one who saw her pretentious look. "Tsh it seems she is foolish, she doesn't even know she is pretending.""Yes sis, I know the rules here, you should get out of here before it's too late. I don't want you to disgrace the Campbell's family." "Really, but I didn't bring any car and I don't even know where to go, so how will I go home?" She said, still wearing that innocent look. She was just like a teenager who is now trying to know how the world is. "But you just got out of the car so why don't you let him escort you." "No,no don't worry ,I won't say I am from Campbell's family. See you." She waved at her and was ready to leave. "I have told you, you can't go anywhere. Where is your invitation card." Sharon held h

    The security personnel forcibly dragged her and sent her to a distant location.As she observed him walking away without any concern for her, a cold smirk appeared on her lips and her eyes reflected a sense of indifference. Her mind was filled with malicious thoughts.After Emine was taken away, Sharon hurriedly approached the security personnel, sounding worried as she asked, "Where have you taken my sister?""Don't worry, Miss. She will be safe," reassured the manager.Understanding the response, she nodded and returned to where Everly was standing."Your acting skills deserve recognition. Pretending to care about your sister while secretly harboring a desire for her demise is quite impressive, you deserved an Oscar award. Perhaps you should consider a career in the entertainment industry," Everly sarcastically remarked. The animosity between the two sisters seemed immense. "So, tell me, what did she do to deserve such treatment from you?""She is the one who pushed my older sister

    "Excuse me, ma'am, are you sure you have the right person?" the auctioneer questioned Sharon skeptically, thinking she must be mistaken or delusional."Yes, I am talking about the woman over there. She's just a nobody, why is she causing me trouble? She has nothing—no money, no fame," Sharon retorted, her face turning red with anger and greed, resembling a witch."Miss, are you referring to the CEO of Blay Company? She is the CEO," the auctioneer clarified, trying to make Sharon understand the gravity of her mistake."Isn't she the one who ordered the security personnel to remove her sister?" a guest interjected, recalling the incident."Oh, how embarrassing! She didn't even know her sister is the CEO of Blay Company. If she had known, she wouldn't have done what she did," another guest chimed in."I told you so! I knew she was malicious from the moment I saw her deceitful face. You defended her, claiming it was genuine concern. She doesn't even know her sister's true identity," a thi

"4,500,000," Everly said. This was the time to bid. Sue was purposely here for this and she wouldn't rest until she gets it. "5,000,000," Aiden raised the bid. Aiden's grandfather called Aiden the day before the auction to get him the necklace..The necklace was made by Aiden's ancestor. It was said that he made it for the old lady of the Harrison family centuries ago. He used some precious items which were not supposed to go out of the family. The item was a diamond that was made on top of the necklace. It might not be nothing to the Clark family but it was a symbol of love and unity. It was that diamond that binds the family together.

    "What," the old man exclaimed and fainted. He couldn't bear the pain. He has been trying hard to unite his family but to no avail. He has strong feelings that the necklace can bring unity in the family. "Old master, old master." The butler shook him and it was to no avail. He called for the family doctor and called Aiden. He was supposed to send him to the hospital but it will make the stock drop when the public learns of it and their enemies will begin to take advantage of the situation. Aiden, who heard about the news, rushed to the mansion. Even though he wasn't closer to his grandfather he still cares for him. He knew his grandfather and his uncle were the ones that treated him fairly. "Where is he?" He asked while breathing heavily. One could guess that he ran here immediately after he got out of the car. The butler told him the old man was in his room and the doctor was attending to him. "Doctor, how is he?" He asked hoping he wouldn't get any bad news. "Hmm, the doctor who

    The nurse, gasping for breath and stammering, spoke urgently, 'The old master's breathing is unstable. We need to act quickly, or we might lose him.'The owner, fearing bad news, asked anxiously, 'What are you trying to say?''The old master's breathing is irregular. We must hurry,' the nurse repeated.'You must go, Mr. Ark. Try to stay calm. The hospital is relying on you. You can do it,' the owner reassured him, patting his shoulder.Taking a deep breath, Mr. Ark composed himself before leaving....A few minutes later...Impatiently, Aiden rushed to the doctor and asked, 'How is my grandfather?''Thankfully, the surgery was successful, but we can't predict when he will regain consciousness,' the doctor replied.'What do you mean you can't predict? I wasn't prepared for this news,' Aiden responded, growing impatient.'I apologize, Mr. Aiden. We did our best medically. Now, we have to wait for nature to take its course,' the doctor explained before leaving.Frustrated, Aiden shouted E

The netizens were fuming, showering her with insults.As Everly scrolled through the comments, a mischievous smile formed on her face. She had finally received the retribution she deserved. Surprisingly, the news had spread faster than she had anticipated, indicating that someone else harbored hatred towards her. "Hehe, I really wish I could witness her wretched face," Everly sneered.

    This face, why does it look so familiar?" Emine was still pondering the blurry face she saw. But she remembered clearly there was no one except Aiden who came later. So who actually was this person? And looking at the blurry picture, the person knows what was going on.Arianna came again, "Boss, there is an emergency meeting right away," she said, sounding urgent."What meeting, and why don't I know about it? Who organized the meeting?" She said with a confused tone."Boss, Mr. Shadrach, Mr. Blay's son," she replied carefully observing her expression."Oh, it seems that this man is really trying hard. He really wants to fight against me," she said while nodding her head with a wry smile. "Okay, I am on my way," she said, continuing with her work.Arianna bowed down respectfully and left. Emine lifted her head, her eyes colder than freezing water. She broke the pen she was holding. She stood up and left for the conference hall."Mrs. Emine, you are late," Shadrach said with a smirk."O

    "Okay, I will stay," Aiden agreed to stay.Emine settled everything and called MC when she got out of the hospital. "I was ambushed today, I found the mastermind.""Queen, are you alright?" MC asked with a worried tone."Don't worry, I am fine. But we will have to find out who did it. Wait, you should go to the place where the incident happened; the men have been wounded, so they wouldn't be able to go far. Bring anyone who is alive. I need to interrogate the person.""Okay, Queen, but you will have to go to the hospital to check if you are really okay.""I said I am okay," Emine said and hung up. She set off for the meeting."Your boss was wounded because of me. Please do well to take care of the rest. He might come home in two days," Emine said to Finn."My boss has been admitted?" Finn was surprised. His boss would never accept being in the hospital unless he is in a critical condition. He just told him he wouldn't be able to make it to the meeting. Maybe it might be serious."Whic

    Intrigue flared in Emine's eyes as she coolly responded while holding her waist, "And how exactly does that concern me?"Rage surged within the leader, his anger unabated, his words venomous, "You're asking for death, you slut." They had believed she was on their side, but her true intentions had caught them off guard. Now, with their brother incapacitated, the future of their legacy hung in jeopardy.Emine's gaze remained steady, her voice dripping with defiance, "If you're after my life, let's see if you can even get close."The assassins' fury intensified, their leader stalking closer, menace oozing from his presence, "I'll make you suffer beyond imagination..."

    Grey chimed in with a thoughtful suggestion. 'Why not take things slow? Instead of jumping ahead, consider paying her a visit,' he advised.Aiden mulled over the idea. 'Visit her at her company?' he asked.Grey shook his head gently. 'No, not at her workplace, but at her home. Given all the times you've come to her rescue, she probably won't hold any grudges.'Aiden's intrigue grew. 'That's not a bad idea,' he admitted.The scene was set on a bustling Monday morning, as Emine geared up for another workday. With Ryan away on business and Sandra the sole presence at home, Emine was caught up in her routine. Sandra, who had been at Emine's place the previous Saturday, piped up, 'Emine, I want to tag along with you.'Emine's response was firm but friendly.

    Finn's gaze pierced his boss, as if he were studying a complete stranger. Enn, his boss, had undergone an astonishing transformation."Grey, I need you to swing by the house today," Finn overheard his boss's unexpected request."Hey, what's the deal? Something up?" Grey's surprise was palpable. Aiden seldom reached out spontaneously, especially during work hours.Finn's ears strained to catch the words. His boss was forsaking the office for an offbeat rendezvous at home with a friend."Uh... is," Finn's words stumbled out."Got any troubles?" Aiden inquired, a hint of a smile gracing his lips."Nah, boss, no issues. But we've got that sit-down scheduled with Mr. Steve. You realize how crucial that meeting is, right?""Changed my mind. I just scrapped it. I'm diving into the art of winning my wife's heart. Gotta make sacrifices to woo her, you know? You handle the mess, alright? And here's a bonus for your trouble."

    Mrs. Harrison's anguish overflowed, her tears an uncontrollable torrent, yet she stifled the sobs that threatened to escape her lips. The sight before her was unfathomable – a video depicting her own son in captivity, his fate hanging precariously in the balance. The torment etched across his face left her heartrending questions unanswered. "Is this truly my flesh and blood? What unfathomable ordeal has befallen him?" She stood there, bewildered, the video's grip on her soul relentless.Meanwhile, as the haunting footage left the couple shattered, the hospital doors swung open to reveal the medical team emerging from the emergency room.

    Say another word, and I'll throw you out," Emine threatened, leaving MC to silence himself, fully aware of Emine's power.Perhaps MC was onto something; Aiden had been rescuing her lately. But what were his true intentions? Paying him a visit might uncover his motives. She would pay him a visit one day. She can't afford to owe him.They brought Eastwood to the basement, where he was tied to a bed. Five strong men entered, and fear shook him."No, no, Emine, please," he begged, hoping for a miracle, praying for someone to rescue him."Mr. Eastwood, like I said, no torture or hitting. Just giving you what you want," Emine said, holding his chin with a wicked smile."No, no, I don't want anything. Let me go, and I'll stop my family's pursuit. Your grandmother won't be a target again. Please, spare me," Eastwood pleaded sincerely, understanding Emine's ruthlessness. He wished this nightmare would end."Ow," Emine sighed as if pitying him.

    Amidst a whirlwind of playful banter, Aiden cunningly remarked, "Well, alright, my lady," his voice dripping with mischief like honey.But Emine's eyes rolled, clearly not in the mood for games. Bigger fish were to fry - Eastwood was right there, writhing in pain and waiting for her next move.Emine, a blend of defiance and cool determination, shifted her gaze to Eastwood, and with a sly grin, teased, "'Fancy a taste of what I've got, huh Mr Eastwood?"'Eastwood was left bewildered, sensing that things were about to take a dark turn.Then, suddenly, Emine's attention darted to Aiden, catching everyone by surprise with her question, " Are all of your men into men, I mean are any of them gay?" The room fell into stunned silence, her words having hit them like a bolt from the blue.Aiden turned to his men, who all shook their heads, confirming their unwavering loyalty to the ladies.

    Eastwood finally couldn't hide any longer and showed his face. He called his men who tied Emine to the chair."Well, it wouldn't be bad if I can get through your beautiful thighs. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Tonight I am going to have a great feast," he said with a lustful voice as he caressed her soft cheeks."I might be weak, but I will never forgive you if you ever let me go," Emine said in a weak voice."Well, I wouldn't give you the chance either. I might as well not kill you and make you become my sex toy, well that will be a better idea." Aiden rubbed her mouth with his hands. She is very beautiful, even more beautiful than his sister. He had always wished he could have her someday, it seems the heavens were on his side today."You son of a bitch, your company will surely go bankrupt. Even if I die, I will make sure you die along with me. And do you think I will come here alone? I am not a fool," Emine spat on him."Slap, slap, you filthy garbage, how dare

    "Who are you and what do you want from me?" With no fear in her voice, she inquired. "It's quite simple, Miss Emine, talk to Mr. Aiden, and your grandmother will be alive." The voice said without showing his face. "Oh, I see, so is Harrison's. What has my grandmother got to do with this? She is not to be blamed for your incompetence." Emine was boiling in anger. "I see, so you actually have the gut to talk back while grandmother's life is still at stake. I think you don't really care about her." The shadow said. "You dare?" Emine roared. "Why don't I dare? A wounded lion will do anything in his power to survive. Harrison's company has been in power for almost a hundred years, why must it vanish in just a month. Isn't it unfair?" You could hear the helpless tone of the one in the darkness. "Well, that wasn't my fault.
