It was the day of Alexander and Lorie's engagement party.
For the past week, their names had dominated the headlines of both the business and gossip sections in Northridge City. One was the heir to The Davidson Group, the other the daughter of a senior executive in the aerospace industry. The media hailed their union as the perfect marriage of commerce and power, and the party was teeming with high-profile guests.
Yet, the atmosphere at the Atwood family estate was a stark contrast to the lively celebration at the hotel.
In the dining room, the light from a crystal chandelier gleamed on the mahogany table where Mr. and Mrs. Atwood sat with grim expressions. Across from them, Gian appeared perfectly calm, idly turning a pen between his fingers.
"Are you really not going?" Mr. Atwood finally asked, setting down his fork. His tone was stern, leaving no room for argument. "Everyone who's anyone in Northridge City is attending the Davidsons' engagement party. As the heir to The Atwood Group, it’s unacceptable for you not to go and maintain our connections."
Gian looked up, his eyes devoid of emotion. "My connections don't need to be maintained through empty pleasantries."
He placed the pen on the table and leaned forward slightly, his voice cool and clear. "Dad, you've lived long enough to know better than anyone that human nature is the least trustworthy thing of all. People who act like your best friend at a party today could turn on you tomorrow for profit."
"Then what do you plan to rely on?" Mrs. Atwood interjected, her voice filled with frustration at his stubbornness. "On your little tech projects? The rules of the business world aren't as simple as you think!"

I hope daniele will have no end game with alexander since whatever the reason is, he only give her too much grievencess. I hope there will be another male character with stronger present than alexander to have the end game with daniele. Hated that in the name of love or protection alexander can treat another woman better, not just once, but with this new lorie girl... Oh my blood pressure getting higher cause by the new plot :(...

Oh poor Bianca... regrets, regrets :)...
This is it! Revenge. Way to go Dani....
OMG! Chapters 451-462 had me on edge. I wish we could also read Alexander's POV. I swear I want to punch him and Millie. This story is kind of a push and pull. The main character will win some, then lose some. Hope the writer gives Danielle a big win....
