Arslan put down the glass of wine he'd just finished in one go, rather abruptly. The sound of the glass hitting the table was pretty loud, and it got everyone's attention in the club's VVIP room. His tie was a little loose, and his shirt was rumpled, showing that he was going through a rough time. His reddish eyes, wild and unfocused, scanned the room as if searching for something that wasn't there.This club is a great place to go if you want to get away from it all. It's very private. Arslan found out about this place through Tiara. She told him that as a young businessman, he needed to network outside the office. Maybe this is the place to meet up with business partners and talk strategy, or just unwind with a few bottles of expensive drinks.Andy, the experienced bartender, watched Arslan with a look that said he was worried about him. "You seem to be thinking about something pretty serious," he said in a calm tone as he kept mixing another drink."I don't need your opinion," Arsl

The next morning, there was a real sense of unease in Arslan's office. Tiara and her dad, Deny Jacob, were waiting in the meeting room to talk about the next project with Nakia Group. They were eager to meet with Arslan to discuss a crucial matter that he had decided on without consulting with the Jacob Group."I need to hear a reasonable explanation, Tiara," Deny Jacob said, clenching his fist. He looked at his future son-in-law's study with a bit of an annoyed expression. "If he can't give a clear reason and outline the next steps in this cooperation, it might be time to question Arslan Tan's credibility in leading Intel Corp."Tiara could tell that the man next to her was holding back his anger. Her father wasn't the easiest person to negotiate with if he didn't agree with something. Tiara was also surprised to find that the contract she thought was going to be a breeze had other requirements. While it wasn't a major issue for her, she also needed to consider the sustainability of

"She's having an affair, Arslan."Tiara's words echoed in Arslan's head again. Like a nightmare that haunted Arslan in the last days. He didn't want to remember Helena's whereabouts, but the most reasonable assumption came from Tiara. If Helena was Nakia's CEO and the youngest daughter of the Edison family, why would this woman go to the trouble of hiding her identity? How ridiculous.At a time when many women out there were competing to show off their family status, on what basis would Helena hide that?"She really cheated on me?" Arslan clenched his fists. He was very angry and felt betrayed by Helena's innocence and simplicity all this time. "For status and a guaranteed life after we split up? Oh my!" Arslan tapped him hard on the forehead. It caused pain, but the man ignored it. "Is that why Helena refused my check? Because the amount in it was not comparable to what the President Director of Edison Group gave her?"Arslan laughed sadly, unable to believe that Helena played the ro

"How did the Intel factory inspection go, Wilna?" someone asked. His voice was firm, so Wilna gave a clear and simple explanation that matched the facts."As far as we can tell, the program was processed with high accuracy, and we didn't run into any major issues, Mr. Thomas. "Everything's under control, and I think the extra responsibility Arslan Tan is taking is why we're able to keep such tight control over the chip creation process.""Good, then," he said. "Give me a full report and don't leave anything out.""Yes, sir." Wilna let out a soft sigh. Her workload was increasing day by day, but she was happy to get stuck in. This was part of the job she loved. If you love what you do, it's not work. That's what Wilna believed."Just make sure Helena doesn't talk to that man for too long. I'm still concerned that Arslan might try to contact Helena again."Thomas Edison was very close to his sister. Wilna was certain that Helena's situation was also affecting Thomas's feelings. Thomas'

"Miss Helena, we've arrived," the driver announced as he pulled up to the hotel lobby. The auction was held at a five-star hotel in the city center tonight. It was exactly what Helena expected an auction event to be like—a bunch of people from different businesses. In the past, Helena had gone to events like this with Thomas or with her father to meet with his business partners. But she wasn't looking to stick around and mingle with other people for too long. It wasn't that she didn't like it, but Helena felt there was no sincerity, only a desire to support each other's businesses.Eventually, Helena realized that this is how people who play a big role in the economy operate. They meet, see eye to eye, and form new partnerships. They exchanged greetings and kept an eye on each other. If you're not careful, you'll get overtaken by a company with more authority and a bigger role. And it's all thanks to the connections made at meetings like this."Thanks, Hans. Pick me up in about an hou

[Wilna: The name of that diamond is Immortal Red. You've got to have it, Helena. I'm sure you'll love it. I'll send you some interesting info about Immortal Red. I didn't think Mr. Darius would have it.]Helena read the message carefully. The auction was still going on, with lots of rare items on offer that would be expensive for many people. But with so many guests invited, it was clear that everyone would go home with something. Tonight's auction is arguably raising the social status of those in attendance because it features one of the collections of jewelry up for auction.Helena sometimes checked the bidding board, but it was obvious she wasn't that interested in the items up for sale. She was after one item in particular: the Immortal Red. She was looking for the best item, which would be auctioned off at the end of the event."I had a great time at tonight's auction," Darius commented. He looked at most of the attendees with a keen interest. "And that wraps up the program for t

"Oh, no!" Tiara grabbed the edge of the sink and started to pull herself together. Her eyes were filled with emotion. It was clear from her gaze and her flushed face that she didn't want to be disturbed."Damn Helena!" she muttered as she banged her fist on the sink, which was covered in luxurious ceramic tiles. Tiara stood in front of the sink, her breathing coming in short, rapid gasps. She was seething with rage. She couldn't accept that Helena had won the diamond at such a high price—something she couldn't possibly match."And why did that woman show up tonight?" Tiara grumbled, clearly annoyed. "She's just Thomas's mistress, not what everyone says." That was indeed the case. Tiara checked her thoughts to make sure she was right. She just couldn't accept the fact that Helena was the youngest daughter of the Edison family. In her mind, Helena was just Thomas Edison's mistress, not someone worthy of respect.Some of the guests were pretty concerned about Helena's presence. Including

"Helena."Helena turned her head slightly to answer the call. She knew immediately who was calling her: Arslan Tan. What can this man possibly want from me here? Of course, Arslan could show up at a party like this. On top of that, her fiancé was attending this auction, right?"You're here?" Arslan said, looking surprised to see his ex-wife at the event. "If you were planning on coming here, I could have picked you up."Helena was so surprised by this that she had to face the towering figure in front of her. Her eyes met Arslan's, but she looked questioningly, but dismissively, at him. Helena had her hands folded across her chest. "You want to pick me up?""It's not a bad thing to build a good relationship with a client, right?" Arslan gave a little smile. A smile that had once fascinated Helena. But tonight, Helena thought it looked pretty gross."Really?" Helena gave a little grin. "If I wasn't your most important client, would you still do that?" The woman didn't react at all. Inst

"How was the auction last night?" Hanry Edison asked in a voice that still sounded a little weak."Papa," Helena said, looking annoyed. "I told you not to stress about anything other than your health." She made sure her father was comfortable. "The doctor said you should get plenty of rest. As for Edison Group and Nakia, Thomas and I will take care of that."Hanry gave a little smile. "What's wrong with me wanting to know what event Darius is attending?" The middle-aged man gazed at his daughter with a longing look. "I'm also happy to have your back, Helena."Helena gave a little smile. Her eyes were a little teary. The man she respected and loved so much had finally regained consciousness. After a critical period that was enough to make Helena's heart pound with fear, Hanry Edison finally came to his senses. God still gave Helena a chance to meet again."I'm sorry, Dad. I was too wrapped up in my own world. I didn't care about you," Helena said, her voice breaking into tears."Hey,"

"I wasn't expecting to see you today, Helena." The middle-aged man, who was one of Edison's family doctors, was delighted to see Helena sitting in his room. "To be honest, I was quite worried about your father's condition. But I'm sure Doctor Samuel is doing his best. He's a very competent heart doctor."Helena gave a little smile. "You're right." She made herself at home in her seat. "Please stop by and see Papa when you get a chance, Doctor Adi. I'm sure Papa will be happy to see you.""I will, Helena." Adi adjusted his glasses. "Any issues with the pregnancy? You've been taking all your vitamins and medicine, right?""Not at all." Helena gave a big, warm smile. "I'd like to know how things are going. I don't feel like this pregnancy is a burden at all. Wilna says I should be grateful. This baby gets that I've got a lot on my plate."Doctor Adi let out a chuckle. "Wilna's right. There's no need to worry. Some women don't feel anything during the early stages of their first trimester
