Chapter: Chapter 10Gerald’s feet hit the pedals hard as he sped down the quiet streets, the cold night wind whipping against his face. His jaw was clenched, eyes sharp with a rage that was simmering just beneath the surface. The party was over. At least for him. He had no interest in watching people toast Steven like some kind of savior while mocking him behind his back. Let them laugh, he thought. It wouldn’t last long.He could still hear Steven’s words echoing in his head—"You, an Arnold? What a joke." Gerald chuckled darkly. ‘If only you knew how right you were, Steven.’Then came the memory of Amara’s smug grin, Freddy’s cowardice, the way they had mocked Juliet and pushed her into humiliation. They had gone too far. They had crossed a line they could never uncross.Gerald parked his bike outside and stepped off, brushing dust from his pants, he immediately pulled out his phone as he headed up to his apartment. He had only one person to call—Uncle Sam.The phone barely rang once before the old man

Chapter: Chapter 9Freddy told the crowd to calm down as he still had a gift to present to Professor Arnold.“I mean, you all didn’t expect me to be like some imposter here who didn’t bring anything tangible right?” Everyone cackled again.He moved to the side of the stage where someone handed him something then strutted back to the centre of the stage with his usual exaggerated flair, a smug smile stretching across his face as he reached into a velvet pouch and pulled out a glistening object. He raised it high like a prize. It was a Rolex—shiny, diamond-studded, and screaming for attention. The crowd gasped in admiration, the light bouncing off its face and creating sparkles that danced across the room.“This right here,” Freddy boasted, “is a 50,000 dollar Rolex handcrafted and engraved with Mr. Dalton’s initials. A small token of appreciation for the best man we all know!”Applause thundered through the room. Even Professor Dalton nodded approvingly as Freddy bowed dramatically.“And that,” Freddy a

Chapter: Chapter 8Freddy Blanks.The name alone was enough to make Gerald clench his jaw. If Alex was the betrayal that cut the deepest, Freddy was the one who sharpened the blade. Gerald’s hatred for the guy had risen to new levels ever since finding out from Freddy that he was the reason Susan had been poached from him by Alex, and everything had been part of a grand scheme to humiliate Gerald for refusing to fall in line and become one of his loyal, mindless followers. Freddy couldn’t stand people he couldn’t control. And seeing as Gerald had made it clear he was one of those people, it was obvious Freddy had made it his life’s mission to ruin him every chance he got.And that made him public enemy number one.It didn’t surprise Gerald that Freddy had been made MC of the party. The guy was energetic, funny, charismatic, and undeniably entertaining. He had the crowd wrapped around his finger like some hyped-up ringmaster, orchestrating laughter at anyone’s expense— but especially Gerald’s.“Ladies a

Chapter: Chapter 7Inside the grand Dalton mansion, the party was already in full swing. Golden lights bathed the massive interior in a warm glow, and framed posters of Mr. Dalton lined the walls with each photo capturing a different milestone in the man’s life—obviously Juliet's idea.The DJ filled the space with mellow tunes that gave the entire party a touch of quiet elegance. Waiters floated past with trays of champagne, and laughter mingled with the soft clinking of glasses.The guests, adorned in designer suits and glittering gowns, were all seated at beautifully arranged tables containing their name tags and intricate floral centerpieces. It was clear this wasn't just a birthday celebration—it was an event for the elite. And it made sense. Professor Julian Dalton wasn’t just the Vice Chancellor of one of the most prestigious universities in the country, he was also a prominent businessman and millionaire, with connections that stretched beyond academic circles.Professor Dalton himself moved from

Chapter: Chapter 6After everything that went down at Crimson & Crown, Gerald didn’t have the time, or luxury to revel in his win. He spent the rest of the day being advised, measured, and prodded for a perfect wardrobe fitting.Steph was exceptional at her job, and while shopping was not something he had interest in, he enjoyed the attention and respect he got during the entire process.After that, he'd signed the documents making him the new owner of the most prestigious luxury clothing brand in the country.Uncle Sam called not long after to offer his congratulations, although it came wrapped in a reminder that the family was still in desperate need of his help. But right now, none of that mattered. He was planning to have the most relaxing night he'd had in a very long time. The VC's birthday party was the perfect occasion.Gerald barely had enough time to dash home, take a quick shower, and throw on something clean. He wasn't one given to flashy appearances, so most of the clothes he'd gotten today

Chapter: Chapter 5“Don’t you dare,” he warned.Her eyes widened, she'd not expected resistance.Alex stepped forward. “Let go of her.”Gerald released her hand and stepped back, glaring at both of them.“You both had better apologize now.”Susan narrowed her eyes. “Who do you think you are now?”The noise drew attention faster than flames drew moths. The head of security came striding toward the scene, eyes scanning the tension in the air like a general assessing a battlefield. As soon as he recognized Alex Lambert and Susan, his posture shifted. He softened his approach, gave a quick salute of acknowledgement, and immediately began apologizing for the "unfortunate incident."“We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience,” he said, bowing slightly. “Please don’t worry, sir. The store will take full responsibility for the damage done to your car.”Susan looked smug, arms folded like a queen expecting her tribute. Alex gave a curt nod, soaking up the attention like it was his birthright. But before they

Chapter: Chapter 555 : The Big Story : Unveiling Deep SecretsGavin received a call on his way to the brunch venue and was hesitant to answer it, but he decided to do so because it could be an urgent call, so he picked up the phone and was surprised to hear a familiar voice, Thomas's."Hello Gavin," Thomas said over the phone to Gavin, pleased to hear his voice after so long."It is me, Thomas, it has been a while; how are you?" Gavin responded to Thomas, pleased to hear a familiar voice after being away from him for so long."I am great, how are you?" Thomas responded to Gavin because he felt better after speaking with him, and he was also relieved to be alive because he knew how dangerous the underground network could be."Great, but I know you did not just call me to exchange pleasantries; what is going on?" Gavin asked Thomas because he was confident that he would not just reach out to him and risk both of their safety unless it was urgent."You know me so well but I have been keeping a secret from you but your father is the reason I have be
