"I mean, don't you have many wives?" Evan asked, confused, unintentionally making Darpan's temper flare up. 

"She is my first and only wife. Now, please don't say this in front of her and dig my grave, please," Darpan muttered, squeezing his lips. For a moment, he was genuinely scared when Evan asked the question. 

Just then, Elena approached Evan with a warm smile, extending her hand to greet him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Evan. Darpan has spoken quite highly of you." 

Daniel nodded in agreement. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Evan." 

As they exchanged pleasantries, Elena's gaze grew more curious. "I've heard about your recent accomplishments. I wanted to meet the person who's made such an impression on Darpan—enough to bring him to his knees." 

Evan, slightly taken aback, responded, "I hope it's not too much of a trouble."
