Chapter: The EndChapter 173 *Weeks later* The hall was decorated with balloons, and luxurious cars were parked everywhere in the surroundings. Men and women in elegant suits were happily moving around with glasses of red wine in their hands. Cameras were already mounted everywhere with photographers taking pictures. The event was streamed live on all channels all over the world making people stay connected to it. “Wow, this is a remarkable and unforgettable day of my life. I'm gonna frame this for my grandchildren.” One exclaimed, smiling widely, taking in the luxurious atmosphere. ‘Indeed, it is. It's worth sharing!” One responded. Soon, everywhere became hushed like a graveyard, with everyone seated as a man dressed in a vestment with a cassock worn under the white vestment. He also wore a stole around his neck and a chasuble worn around his shoulders and stood in front of everyone. This is the priest. Close to him but in front of him stood a handsome, wealthy-looking man dressed in

Chapter: The Attack Chapter 172 On the podium, Mr. John pointed at Michael and said, “He's the president of this great company from today henceforth.” He declared firmly. And the whole hall erupted into applause. And murmuring started, “Oh, wow. He looks handsome and young to handle such a company.” “I believe he's capable of handling it, that's why it's been handed to him.” The announcement had been made and yet the journalists seemed not to be leaving. One brave journalist stepped forward and said directly to Michael, “Sir, please, can you tell us? Do you have any experience in this before now?” Michael smiled, shaking his head, “No, I don't. However, I have studied and mastered everything that has to be done through the mentor of my beloved Uncle and manager.” He pointed to John and Franklin. “So, if I must answer, then yes.” The journalist nodded, impressed, “So, tell us, sir. What's your exact age?” “Just 26.” “26, and you're controlling a trillion-dollar company?” She swallowed an

Chapter: Michael To The WorldChapter 171Meanwhile, the next day, early in the morning, a group of vehicles filled with journalists with their big cameras, microphones, notebooks and pens, digital recorders, and some with smartphones arrived at Maple's biggest company ahead of the announcement to be made. Inside the big office in the company, Mr. John Lewis and Franklin sat. He looked at Franklin and asked, “Have they arrived?” “Yes, sir.” Franklin nodded.“What about Michael, has he arrived yet?” Franklin shook his head, “I don't think he has arrived. But let me call him.” He brought out his phone and called Michael. The phone kept ringing but there was no response after several trials. John looked at him and said, “Maybe, he might be on his way. Just go and lead the journalists in.” Franklin nodded and left. Getting outside, he saw a group of journalists who were all dressed in black and navy suits. He approached them with an authoritative demeanor, drawing everyone's attention of everyone to himself, “Go

Chapter: Him?Chapter 170 Still in the store, the sales representative looked at Michael and asked, “Do you have any brand or model in mind?” Michael shook his head and replied, “No, I don't. I just need a smartphone of any brand that has amazing features, a long-lasting battery, and fast browsing. Any latest model or brand at all.” “Alright, do you want an iPhone 16? It's fast and has a good camera….” The sales representative began. Michael interrupted, “And what about the battery? Just don't worry about it, I'm using that brand and the battery doesn't last long. Don't you have any other brand apart from the Apple brand?” The sales representative nodded, “We do. Samsung Galaxy is another best brand that provides you with a long-lasting battery and other amazing features.” “What's the model?” “Samsung Galaxy S24, sir.” “Please, bring that for me.” Michael requested, “Bring it in pairs.” He wanted to taste the brand as well. “Sorry, I forgot, bring two HP computers alongside.”

Chapter: Phone StoreChapter 169 Meanwhile, after Michael and Philip finished freshening up themselves, they headed to the parking lot. Michael, holding two car keys, threw one to Philip while he retained one. The car key he handed to Philip was the one belonging to a Mercedes Benz AMG that was worth over $200,000. “That's the key to that car.” He pointed at the sleek black Mercedes Ben that was parked in the lot. “It belongs to you from henceforth.” He said, walking to hop into the same brand of car. “Mine?” Philip said out with disbelief causing Michael to halt in his steps. He turned back and nodded with confirmation, “Yes, it's yours. Whenever you're going out, go with it. This is a small gift from me to you for being a good friend.” Overwhelmed with gratitude, Philip was about to fall on his knees in Michael's front but Michael swiftly caught him right in the air, shaking his head lightly, “You don't have to. You were there by my side when those school bullies were after my life.” He said

Chapter: Part of Michael's Plans Chapter 168 Meanwhile, a car pulled in front of a black gate, and a lady came out of the car, looking gorgeously dressed. Her face was filled with thick makeup that made her look extremely beautiful. Also, her neck was adorned with gold jewelry that added to her beauty. She walked into a compound with graceful steps carrying a handbag. As she got inside the living room where the whole family was sitting, she let out a warm smile. “Aah! Ella? You're here?” Rose jumped and hugged her, happily. “You didn't tell me you were coming so fast.” She helped with the handbag. Ella smiled, “But at least I told you that I'll come to visit you. That's what is important.” She then walked to Stephen, “Good day, sir.” Turning to Maria, she greeted, “Good day, ma'am.” Then to Grandma Isabella, she said, “Good day, Granny.” Grandma Isabella smiled, “You're welcome, my granddaughter. We have missed you a lot. And you look beautiful today.” “Yes, Grandma. I'm wondering what's making her look s

Chapter: Chapter 24: Morris Drives Into The CampusChapter 24 Professor Nicola's gaze shifted following the direction where the voice came from with a surprised expression. The students also were surprised; this is because no one had ever taken a stand for Daniel. Daniel, on the other hand, didn't act as surprised as everyone. He quickly noticed the voice. It was the Chancellor. The Chancellor walked closer, his strides with grace. He looked at Nicola for a while before instructing, his voice resolute, “He shouldn't be chased out of the class. Allow him to go in,” he said, Professor Nicola wore a confusing expression. He remembered that the Chancellor hated Daniel with everything in him but now, he's acting kind and even defending him. He swallowed hard, glancing between the Chancellor and Daniel. A small smile played around Daniel's mouth. “But……okay, sir.” Nicola had tried to retort, but knowing that the Chancellor was ahead of him, he finally agreed, yet wearing a stern face. “Thank you, sir,” Daniel hesitated and politely s

Chapter: Chapter 23: Daniel Encounter Professor Nicola Chapter 23 Just as Daniel stepped his feet outside, a bit far from the Chancellor's office, William was already waiting for him outside and he immediately rushed to him. “What happened back there in the office after I left?” He asked him softly yet with an accusatory voice. He was also aware of the fact that the Chancellor wouldn't listen to Daniel even though he had begged him. As a result of that, a hint of confusion was etched on his face. Daniel looked at him, amused, and replied, “Why don't you go and ask the Chancellor? Maybe he will hint you the better.” He said, almost mocking him and William swallowed hard, speechless. Without waiting for a reply, Daniel started to leave, but William crossed his path, now pleading, “Dan, my son,” he began, his lips trembling with shame and embarrassment yet filled with emotions, “Please, I need my job back, help me get it back.” His voice was authentic as he pleaded. Daniel looked at him with a slight frown, “I'm not your son, and

Chapter: Chapter 22: William Receives Hot SlapChapter 22 The security guards nodded in unison and began to move riotously toward Daniel with stern faces. Their hands had already balled into fists. Just as they threw five steps forward, the Chancellor yelled at them, causing them to halt in mid-steps. “Don't touch him!” His authoritative yet wavering voice echoed in the room. The security guards instantly halted exchanging confused glances at each other. William had told them the Chancellor was the one who sent for them to have this man out. …..and now…? Meanwhile, the smirk on William's face instantly disappeared, replaced with a startled and disbelief expression. His gaze now shifted from Daniel to the Chancellor. Daniel, on the other side, smiled, letting his gaze focus on William. “Let's see who this favors.” He mumbled to himself, adjusting himself with a little bit of pride. “Just leave,” the Chancellor continued, waving a dismissive hand to the security guards. They hesitated, still confused before finally leavi

Chapter: Chapter 21: Becomes ShockedChapter 21 “What sort of joke is this?” William interjected, moving forward, “do you think the Chancellor has time for your nonsense?” His voice was sharp and his jaw clenched. Daniel looked at him, shaking his head. He didn't respond to him. Instead, he returned his gaze to the Chancellor and said, “Sir, just provide five names of year one students who haven't paid their fees,” he said again, bringing out his phone, "and I'll settle it." The Chancellor's anger grew thin. He raised his hand to slap Daniel but he was too quick to dodge it. This made him more furious. His fist clenched and his face twisted in rage, “Do I look like your playmate?” He turned to William and yelled, his voice filled with authority, “Call the security guards now and let them throw this thing out of here!” William quickly nodded, eyed Daniel angrily, and immediately rushed out. As William left, Daniel, with already regained composure, looked at the Chancellor, “Sir, there's no need to call the se

Chapter: Chapter 20: Daniel Enters The Chancellor's Office Chapter 20 Daniel's eyes blinked, surprised. It was as if he didn't hear what the caller had just asked. But why does he seem to care so much about him? “Do you have a problem with where I am?” Daniel asked, his tone sharp and a little rude. Victor who had called, replied from the other end, “I waited for you inside after you left, thinking you went to the library to read but I've gone there to look for you but didn't see you so I thought of calling you—” “As if you care,” Daniel interjected. “Anyway, thanks for calling, but I'm fine.” He didn't wait for any response before abruptly ending the call with a frown on his face. Staring at the phone in his hand, he mumbled, “What impression is he trying to create this time?” He asked himself. “Does he really think I will fall cheaply to him again?” He shook his head before tapping his phone to life. After unlocking it, he went to call history; his finger settled on Victor's number, and without a second thought, he coldly blacklisted i

Chapter: Chapter 19: Daniel HelpsChapter 19 Daniel's gaze remained fixed on the lady who had just introduced herself. He hesitantly accepted the handshake, “Daniel,” he said, his voice calm and cautious. He then asked, “How may I help you, Joanna?” He gently pulled back his hand. A tiny smile escaped Joanna's lips. She took a deep breath, composing her demeanor before responding, “I saw you booked a room so I thought of—” she paused, feeling a bit nervous, “keeping you company.” She forced it out, observing Daniel's reaction. Daniel raised his eyebrows at Joanna, “Keep me company? What do you mean by that?” He asked, almost sounding rude. He wasn't sure whether to feel suspicious about her choice of words. Joanna shifted uncomfortably, tucking her black long strand hair behind her ear, “I didn't mean to sound….improper,” she clarified politely, her voice breaking. She was about to continue, but Daniel interrupted, his patience already thinning, “....sorry, but I don't need anyone's company. I'm okay

Chapter: Chapter 35: Mob at Olivia's Company Chapter 35 “What is it? What happened?” James rushed to Olivia's side and hurriedly asked in panic. “I don't really know. Just got a call that something is wrong in the office.” Olivia replied, “we just need to be there!” “I'll go with you instead. You can't take him along with you!” Leonard stepped in, refusing that James should go with Olivia. “Please, Dad. This isn't the right time to start a fight or any argument. James has to come with me, just stay back!” Without waiting for any reply, she hurried to her room. Soon, she was back with another outfit slipped on. Her heart pondered with a loud noise, “Let's go,” she dashed outside immediately. James still wore a surprised expression. This was the first time in their marriage that Olivia was letting him follow her out. Could it be because it is something of a problem that's why she is letting him go with her, maybe to solve it? He was reluctant in his steps, however, he waved the thought off his mind. She's his wife!

Chapter: Chapter 34: Olivia Panicks Chapter 34 “So, tell me. Did Joshua discuss anything about the outcome of the dinner night he went with that…. What's her name again? Oh, Olivia. Did he tell you anything about her?” Arthur, Joshua's father, who seemed to be in his late fifties asked Claire, his wife. Claire took a deep sip of the hot tea and placed it down on the table. She licked her lips, her leg crossed on the other as she replied, shaking her head, “No, I didn't get to see him when he returned last night.” She continued, “He must be in his room resting, but I will ask him about how it went whenever he wakes up.” Arthur frowned slightly, “That boy keeps on getting stubborn every day. I don't really know what is wrong with him!” He bit his lips, looking nervous. “What he saw in that Olivia of a girl is what I really can't tell. Bunch set of trash! I've well-to-do friends whose daughters are extremely beautiful but Joshua is refusing to go after them!” “That's because he loves her!” Claire interjected, sp

Why do you insist on not going with him?” Caleb gave a casual shrug, “It should be obvious, Mom.” He replied.Amelia bobbed her head in agreement, “We don't want to be laughed at.” “Yes,” Caleb supported again, "If he drops us off, everyone at school will laugh at us. They already know everything about him.”James listened, his face blushed with anger, but he calmed himself, knowing he was no longer the same person he used to be. A soft grin escaped his lips.After they were done, Evelyn huffed heavily. “And does that change anything!? If you can't let him drive you both then Olivia is giving you both no damn fare!” She spoke with unwavering sureness.Grandma Aurora narrowed her eyes dangerously at her. “Stop it, Evelyn!” She shouted, slamming her fist on the table.

Chapter: Chapter 32: Caleb and Amelia protestsChapter 32 James instantly jumped from the bed, his body a little bit shaking as he stared at Grandma Aurora. “Damn the old witch,” he cursed under an annoying breath. Olivia was also pulled and released a slow breath, her expression unreadable. Getting up from the bed, she greeted, wiping her face and stretching her body, “Good morning, Granny. You came so early to my room today, any issues?” Grandma Aurora didn't respond to her. She was so furious about what she saw when she entered the room. Her heart clenched, clearly furious. Her eyes darted between Olivia and James, her heart raced with suspicion. Her wicked gaze remained on James for some minutes before finally settling on Olivia. “Olivia, what was he trying to do to you? Was he trying to take advantage of you? Tell me and I'll have him spend his entire life in prison.” she said, her gaze burned with rage. Olivia sighed and shook her head, “It was nothing, granny. We were just having some conversations. That's all.”

Chapter: Chapter 31: Romantic Moment Chapter 31As James entered the room, he saw Olivia already dressed up in a white pajama gown, ready to go to bed. Olivia also looked at him but instantly took her eyes off him, arranging the bed.He closed the door behind him and stood at a spot, studying Olivia's expression, but it was unreadable. He scratched the back of his head, deep in thought. “She's mad at me; I think I just have to apologize,” he mumbled, ready to apologize for what had happened that night.“Oli…” His voice shook with embarrassment, leaving the name incomplete. Olivia didn't even bother to turn back to look at him.Taking a deep breath and composing himself, he walked closer to Olivia and began, trying to keep his voice steady, “...Olivia, concerning what happened today,”“What about it?” Olivia instantly turned and countered him sharply before he could even finish her words, a dark severity on her face.“I just want to say sorry for destroying everything,” James said after a reluctance, sincerity etched in

Chapter: Chapter 30: Evelyn Defends JamesChapter 30 As James opened the door, everyone got distracted and quickly turned to see who it was. It was James. Grandma Aurora, who was already furious, glared at her, a dark scar formed in her eyes. She just felt like walking to him and squeezing life out of him. She hated his existence now more than ever. Leonard, still standing, released a daggering gaze at him. If a look could instantly kill, James would have been a dead being at that instant moment. Meanwhile, Evelyn's worried face was now replaced with a smile yet looking surprised. In fact, everyone in the room was shocked to see him because Olivia had told them what had happened to him. Olivia was too. How, then, did he manage to get out of there? They pondered on this, their hearts reeling with questions. However, Olivia tightened her face and stood up. Grabbing her handbag tightly, she rushed away to her room without coughing out a word. Evelyn quickly rushed to James, worry still visible on her face but someho
