Edoardo has never been humiliated in his life like this. He was used to humiliating and joking someone that would offend them. But this is not a joke. What Keira Del Carlo said was a threat. It was even heard by most people in there and some who didn't hear what Keira said asked the others as they started murmuring.
"Oh, dear." Mrs. Vance was shocked by what Keira did. Alessandro should be embarrassed but he was so proud of her. But then, the person who was most embarrassed was Edoardo.
Keira stared at him but then she smiled charmingly.
"I hope that we are clear Mr. Edoardo. My husband and I don't tolerate something like that." She said as Alessandro smirked.
"Let's go." He grumbled to his men as they left the party that hadn't started yet.
Alessandro took another punch that the bodyguard gave and gave it to her. She sipped on it and turned back from people to eat a few more finger foods.
"Let's take a seat. I will serve it to you." Sandro told her and she pointed to a few foods and he nodded. Then, Travis escorted Keira to their seat together with Gabriel Lawson and his wife.
"You look dashing today," Sabrina complimented Keira.
"Thank you." She said as she gracefully sat down. "But I knew that it's cold here." She said and sighed. "Air conditioner was always full blast, this is why I don't like going to a party like this and wore something so thin just to make your husband happy and would tear it off later."
Sabrina laughed as she covered her mouth. Gabriel Lawson was watching his wife laugh like that as it also made him smile.
"You never know," Sabrina shrugged as she picked up her champagne flute and sipped on it.
Alessandro came with delicious food for Keira and he removed his coat and put it on her.
Sabrina was admiring them and that's when Gabriel cleared his throat and put his hand over her lap under the table.
Travis, who was out of place, only cleared his throat and felt uncomfortable with these lovers.
"This is delicious." She said and fed one to her husband. "Anyway," She looked at Gabriel Lawson. "Since we are friends," She twirls her forefinger. "Tell me, Mr. Lawson about the new ad that I made?"
"Which one?" Gabriel asked, which made her grin. It only means that he was watching a few ads from the Golden Age and he might hire Golden Age for their ads.
"The latest."
"Dashing." He answered and looked at his wife who gestured. "Actually, it was catchy enough and that also includes the meaningful message that came from a song."
"See?" She giggled and looked at her husband who nodded. "I'm a genius." She winked at her husband who agreed again.
"By the way, it's a nice show a while ago." Sabrina said as she leaned forward to Keira. "You speak in Arabic?"
"A little." She shrugged at her. "My dad taught me since we have few investors from the Middle East."
"That's great." Sabrina nodded and looked at her husband.
Keira slid her arms to Alessandro's Tuxedo coat and sipped on her cocktail. Then, it started as they listened attentively to the speaker. After that, everyone walked around and they spoke to each other and greeted each other. This is one thing that Edoardo missed to expand his business. But the annoying and impudent man deserved what he should.

Harvey's Squad, HO
Harvey looked up at Violet who came earlier than the boys. He shook his head and clicked his tongue.
"Damn those assholes. Making you wait." He grumbled.
"I know. I thought that I had to get here early so I could go home early to my baby." She said as she sat down and started nibbling some food.
"He will be four months old next week?"
"Yes." She nodded her head. "You better ready your gift."
"Yeah, I will." He nodded as he checked the documents needed.
Shortly, Connor came and apologized about being late. And there's an awkward silence but he got busy chatting with his beloved.
Violet readied her computer to take-note something. Then, the boys came up and apologized. Harvey started the meeting by scanning each of them. Ian also came late and instead of apologizing, he distributed the donuts and coffees. He sat down and took his note to listen attentively. Harvey was still staring at him.
"Please, I got jammed in the traffic." He said as an excuse.
"Alright, let's start the meeting." He passed the documents as everyone frowned after seeing it. "I will now join forces with the Rossie Empire."
"Rossie? Sounds familiar." Ian shrugged.
"Never heard of it." Viper shook his head and checked the details. "What?" he grumbled. "This is a billion!" He exclaimed.
"Billions." Harvey corrected. "They will fund us Billions and I of course one of their commanders."
"How did this happen?" Leon asked and Ian was somehow busy digging something from his head. He then snapped and pointed at Harvey.
"Your Middle name is Rossie and Keira's too!" Ian snapped.
Everyone was quiet. Viper, Bull, Leon and Violet looked at each other as Connor only listened.
"Don't say it aloud." He said.

"It only means that you are the heir to Rossie."
"I'm not." Harvey said calmly. "I'm my father's bastard, remember?"
"Don't be absurd!" Ian scoffed. "It's a scientific disaster. Are you sure that you aren't Mina's son? Just because of damn miscalculation." Ian shrugged.
"Ian, please." He weaned at him. "I already confirmed it from my real mother." He grumbled.
Everyone was silent but then Leon signed Violet something. The two make a sign as Harvey continues reading the documents.
"So, mother wanted us to get rid of the Empire through this help. We don't need the Dragon or EPUA at this time since they are also in crisis."
"Crisis?" Connor asked. "What's happening?"
"EPUA has spies and so is the Dragon Empire." He shrugged. "These two Empires are somehow managed by the same Mondragon and each Mondragon is dealing with their nemesis. So, let's chill and help them after we are done with our problem."
"Alright," Connor shrugged and checked his phone. Then he looked down at the documents. "This is for real? A facility that have research and so on~~"
"Yes," Harvey nodded. "They were experimenting on how to counter the drugs that the Charles Empire was making."
"Wait," Violet raised her hand. "Experimenting drugs?"
"Yes," Harvey stopped and titled his head. "Sorry, I didn't realize!"
"Fuck, this is good!" Violet exclaimed. "But I'm going to do my work personally. I just need to check if a few of their chemicals match mine."
Harvey agreed and took note of it.
"I will give you access after two weeks. Is that okay?" Harvey asked Violet.
"Perfect."
"I need access too." Leon said as Harvey nodded.
"What else?" he asked. "What else do you need?"
"I need a new set of servers!" Viper raised his hand. "And a satellite if possible. If the Charles Empire starts expanding, it's better if we monitor it."
"That's expensive." Harvey said but then he called someone from his phone. That person answered right away.
"Master Harvey, Good Evening."
"Yes, sorry for bothering you. But is it possible to have a new satellite and set of servers."
"We already have that, ready sir."
Harvey smirked and raised his thumb to Viper as Viper excitedly stood from his chair and danced. He sat down and took a piece of donut and started nibbling on it.
"Thank you, Commander Fox."
"You are welcome, Master."
Harvey hung up and sighed.
"It seemed that they knew more about the Charles Empire than us."
"That was fast." Violet said. "But do they know about the chemicals that the Charles Empire has? If they have the sample, it's better that they won't distribute it to anyone. It will completely lose someone's sanity if they did."
"So, Victor was like that?" Leon asked. "Does he doubt you?"
"He did." Violet nodded. "He doubted me and our child. But at this moment, our connection was cut off. I feel something weird. And he left me a message."
She showed it to them.
Victor: My love, I'm sorry that I have to cut it out. I might lose my memories again but I love you and our baby. They brought up a new drug, I don't think that my body couldn't take it.
"That's direct." Harvey said. "Then, what happened to the phone?"
"I can't trace it. He broke it." Violet said as she felt herself getting anxious as she thought about it. Victor sent it two days ago.
"Let's go to this facility." Harvey said.
Violet took the matcha donut and bit on it. She's hungry and she needs to eat more and exercise more for her baby and so she could provide more milk to her baby before she got separated from him. She hopped in the backseat of the car as Harvey drove. They left the headquarters and soon, they will have to pack up everything in there and probably abandon it.
"Are you alright?" Viper asked who turned to her while he's sitting at the shotgun seat.
"Yes, I~~I just feel a little anxious that I am away from my son and my husband broke our connection."
"It's probably for your safety." Viper said to assure her.
"Thank you.." But still, Violet felt anxious as they traveled to the new headquarters.
