"Excuse me, miss. Here's your complimentary wine." Alice was surprised when a waitress came over to her table and placed 3 bottles of wine in front of her.

"Is this all for me?" asked Alice, pointing at herself.

Rachel was also stunned. Because the price of wine in this bar is very expensive. Because the wine they served was the best.

After getting the answer from the waitress, Alice smiled with a surprised face.

"Alice, it seems that the boss of this bar is here, and he is watching you. That's why he's giving you free wine." Rachel's words made both corners of Alice's lips smile.

"But I didn't see the man watching me." Alice's eyes wandered.

"Maybe he's hiding somewhere. To hell with that. We should just have a drink. This is the best wine. You have to share it with me!" Rachel poured the wine from the bottle into a glass.

Alice nodded in agreement and drank it with Rachel.

Unbeknownst to them, Alex and James were watching in silence. A satisfied smile appeared on Alex's lips.

    "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

You dumped her a long time ago, so don't even try to get close to her!”“I have no business with you! My business is with Claire,” Noah snapped back, glaring at Jenny.

    “What about the thugs you sent to Graham's house? Did they do their job properly?” Alex asked Vincent over the phone. He asked in a whisper so as not to be heard by his wife who was currently getting a hair dryer from outside the room to dry her wet hair. [Everything is according to your orders, Mr. Knight. They destroyed things in Graham's house and threatened Alice and her mother. Unfortunately, Graham was not at home, so he did not receive any threats]“It doesn't matter. The important thing is that they've scared those two scheming women. I hope my warning will deter Alice and stop disturbing my household.”[Don't worry, Mr. Knight. If Alice dares to disturb your family, I will give her a heavier punishment] Vincent said like a loyal subordinate.At the same time, Claire came back into the room still with a white towel wrapped around her body. She glanced at Alex who was talking to Vincent on the phone.Claire only glanced at her husband for a moment, then she chose to continue

    Meanwhile, inside the house, Alice and Nancy were laughing together in Alice's room.“You managed to sleep with Alex? You're so smart. I'm proud of you.” Nancy patted the thigh of Alice who was sitting beside her.Both of them had big smiles on their faces.Yes, Alice had just told her mother about last night's incident where she tricked Alex into sleeping with her.“Of course, mom. I'm smart because I'm mama's girl,” Alice exclaimed confidently.Nancy laughed. “But, does Alex know you set him up? If he does, I'm afraid instead of you becoming Mrs. Knight, Alex will report you to the police.”Nancy's smile vanished and was replaced with a worried look after her mind suddenly remembered that.“Don't worry. Alex did suspect that I had set him up, but the type of anesthetic I mixed into his drink was the kind that would make the person who consumed it unable to remember what had happened to that person. So, it's unlikely that Alex would have any proof that I set him up,” Alice explained.

    Returning home, Alex stopped his car in his front yard.His feet immediately stepped through the main door as he called out his wife's name.“Claire! Claire! I'm home!”Alex's call was interrupted when his eyes looked at the dining table, where there was a lot of food served there.“Claire prepared all this for me?” muttered Alex staring at the dining table, guilt creeping into his heart.“Claire!”His feet took another step, this time up the stairs, then opened the door to the room.Upon arriving at the room, Alex was surprised to see Claire who had packed her clothes into a suitcase.“Claire?! Where are you going? Why are you packing your clothes?” asked Alex, running over to his wife.His forehead wrinkled as he looked at Claire's clothes that were piled up and neatly arranged in the medium-sized suitcase.Pulling the zipper of her suitcase, Claire replied. “I'm leaving this house. I'm no longer needed here anyway, right?”“What are you saying? Who said I don't need you anymore? I

    “Is he working overtime? He's still not home,” Claire muttered.Rising from her seat, Claire then approached the clock on the wall, seeing that it was ten o'clock at night.Claire rubbed her arm nervously. It was unusual for Alex to be home this late.Just then, there was a sudden message notification on her cell phone that made a smile appear on Claire's lips as she exclaimed. “That must be a message from Alex!”Claire immediately approached her cell phone and grabbed it to look at the incoming message.However, the content of the message made her smile fade away instantly.“What?! No way!” shrieked Claire shaking her head.Her eyes widened in disbelief.The message was indeed sent from Alex's number, but the content of the message stunned Claire.The content of the message was three intimate photos of Alice and Alex sleeping on the same bed in a hotel room.[Claire, I'm sorry that Alex came home so late tonight. I used Alex's cell phone with his approval. I was surprised that Alex's

    Finally Alex typed a reply message.[Who the hell are you? How dare you send me flowers with threatening writing! You'll know the consequences later! Just wait! You think I'm going to stay silent?!]The message was sent to the person.Shortly after, there was a reply message that made Alex's forehead furrow.[If you want to know who I am, come to Bar Alexis at eight tonight! You have to come fast. Otherwise, you'll never find me] Alex's hands were clenched on the table, then Alex couldn't help himself as he punched the table with his right fist, causing a strong thumping sound."What a piece of shit! That guy dares to play with me! Just watch! I'll definitely find you. I won't let you off the hook, even if you apologize while kneeling in front of me," Alex muttered with his breathing ragged with emotion.His face was bright red. His eyeballs conveyed suppressed emotions.Then, Alex remembered the name of the place the person on the phone had mentioned."Bar Alexis?" he repeated, rais

    The sound of the bell made Claire, who was watching TV, get up from her seat and open the door.“Alex!” she gasped as she saw her husband standing at the door.A smile appeared on Claire's lips. She was happy to see Alex coming even though he should be at the office right now.“Why did you send 50,000 dollars to Noah's account?”“What?!” Claire's eyes blinked.Alex asked suddenly. It took Claire by surprise.How did Alex know that she sent money to Noah? Even Alex knew the amount.“Claire, I'm asking you why did you send money to Noah's account? Have you been dealing with him behind my back?” a jealous tone was heard in Alex's voice as he asked Claire about it.Claire's eyes narrowed, her head shook quickly. “You're accusing me of having an affair with Noah behind your back? Alex, you don't believe me?” Claire's mouth dropped open.She never thought Alex would suspect her.Alex didn't answer right away, he stepped into the house and took off his jacket, throwing it carelessly onto the

    “Alice, can I ask you a favor?” Noah was very confused today because his father owed a lot of money to the bank, and the bank was threatening to foreclose on his house. Noah himself didn't have much to hold on to.Therefore, he desperately approached Alice at the gate of the woman's house.“A favor? What kind of help are you talking about?” asked Alice, taking off her sunglasses and approaching Noah with her arms crossed.Alice's clothes were all put together. She was about to leave with her friends.“Can you do me a favor and lend me three million dollars?”“You're borrowing money from me? Do you think I'm a bank that you can just lend money to?” asked Alice, chuckling sarcastically.Noah's eyes narrowed. “But, I used to help your father's company financially a lot, when your father's company was having financial problems. And now it's my turn to need help. If you mind helping me, I'll talk to your father directly and ask him for help,” Noah told Alice.Furthermore, Noah was about t

    In the morning, Claire had just woken up. Her brow furrowed at the sight of Alex sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed in a neat black office suit.His hair looked sleek, adding to his good looks.“Alex, your outfit is very neat this morning,” Claire commented while changing her position to sitting. Smiling, Alex then approached Claire. “Since you already know that I'm Mr. Knight, then I won't pretend to go to work as a construction worker anymore. I can wear my office suit straight from home,” Alex said as he rubbed Claire's right cheek and smiled widely.Alex's words were reciprocated by Claire with an eyeball roll.Alex laughed softly, hugging Claire tightly until their chests touched. “Don't roll your eyes! You forgave me last night, right? Don't get angry again! We've made up now!”Seeing Alex's pitiable face accompanied by the man's lips puckering in fear that Claire would silence him again, the man's expression looked funny in Claire's eyes. It made Claire unable to help but
