Everyone wasn't sure they heard right."He signed the contract?""The useless son of a bitch signed the contract?""How could he of all people have such power?"Travis sighed, getting fed up with how they were wasting too much time. He looked at his watch and announced, "Five minutes is far gone! I'm not sure you guys are taking things really seriously. Also, I could sign this and you can't because I know Mr. Pattinson and he owes me a favor."Alison once again immediately started yelling, "There's no way! Stop trying to bluff your way out of this! How can you – a joker and a loser – sign something as important as that?! You're a nobody. A cheap bastard who only eats out of the hands of Joanna. You're no better than a street rat! You would have been starved to death ages ago if you hadn't met Joanna! You're overestimating your worth!"Travis's cold gaze landed on Alison but before he could act –SLAP!Joanna threw a slap at Alison's face with a daring expression. "You just keep runnin

A week later, it was a new day.Travis woke up early in the morning, feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead. He tiptoed out of the bedroom so as not to wake his wife Joanna and their daughter Maya, who were still fast asleep. He went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for the family.He put on some music, humming along to the tunes as he diced up vegetables for an omelet. The smell of sizzling bacon filled the kitchen, and soon the aroma of fresh coffee joined in. He poured himself a cup and took a sip, feeling the warmth spread through his body.As the omelet cooked, Travis set the table with plates, silverware, and napkins. He arranged a vase of fresh flowers in the center of the table, a small touch that he knew would make Joanna smile when she saw it.Being back home, all he just wanted was to put them back on good terms.Finally, the breakfast was ready, and Travis went back to the bedroom to wake his wife and daughter.

Travis looked at both Helen and Isaac, wondering how they knew each other and how they became together, but it wasn't any of his business so he asked, "And why are you here, Helen?"Helen giggled and answered, "I came with Isaac to see the infamous Golden Tower." After that, she looked at Isaac in admiration and continued, "Isaac's family has a lot of cooperation with Danforth Group, do you know that? It's called Infinity Builders and Designs which makes his father one of the executives."However, Isaac stared at Travis contemptuously and couldn't help feeling injustice in his heart.This stinky rug made him feel like a loser, a feeling he has never felt in his whole life. He looked like what the cat dragged from the gutter but yet Joanna chose such a useless waste over him.If it weren't for him, he would have ended up with such a beauty, instead of wasting his time around with inferior Helen that has nothing much to give.Enveloped by this, Isaac was upset and he asked, "Why are you

Travis arrived at the Manager Marshall's office and he opened it without knocking and without thought."Who the…" Manager Marshall's words hung as he saw Travis. He was in shock since he didn't expect his visit to the board room where a meeting was being held."Oh, did I – disturb anything?" Travis questioned.Manager Marshall shook his head. "Of course not, Master Travis. I was more shocked to see you here."Isaac, Helen, and his father, Calvin were there too, having an important meeting about a project coming up.Isaac stood up on his feet as he saw Travis. "What the hell is this bastard doing here?! So that guard was so useless that he let you walk in?!"Manager Marshall looked at Isaac. "Mind your words, boy!"Isaac looked at Manager Marshall. "I'm only telling the truth, Sir. That boy is a nobody and he shouldn't be here! He's not someone to be welcomed in here, believe me. He's got nothing, he's a rejected son-in-law living off of his wife! I mean, look at how he's dressed!!"Ma

Isaac looked up at Travis. The shock made his eyes resemble two full moons rising over the horizon. His mind was a maze, twisting and turning as he tried to make sense of the impossible realization.His father, Calvin couldn't also believe it but his shock wasn't the problem, it was the realization that he was about to lose everything. To lose his face in the corporate world.Not only that, more than half of Infinity Builders and Designs profits are made by the Danforth Group!If the contract is terminated, his family's strength and net worth would be cut by half.He could not accept this reality so he looked at his son in anger, pointed at him, and yelled, "Look at what you've done, son!! You have ruined the family!! Kneel and apologize, right now!!"He blinked rapidly, trying to clear the spots from his vision and bring the world back into focus, then he straightened up on his knees and squared his shoulders, like a soldier coming back to attention after a moment of confusion or dis

The night arrived.Travis and Joanna arrived at the Bloom family manor.Travis didn't need Joanna to explain why they were there. He knew that Madame Emma wants to discuss how they will get a share of the Danforth Group project.When he arrived at the manor, William immediately sneered when he saw them. He laughed mockingly and said, "So you had to bring the worthless piece of trash to stain our holy floors, ah Joanna?! As usual, so disappointing!!"Joanna rolled her eyes away, since she had no words to say to William.William laughed again. "Aww, look at you being quiet. I thought right now, you will be casting stones, Joanna! For such a worthless son of a bitch! You betrayed this family and you dare come back to take from us!! Ungrateful bastards!!"Little did he know that Joanna was trying to stop Travis from going wild on him."Maybe you should stop talking, Will. Grandma called the family here and I came with my husband. No big deal!" She retorted in annoyance before Travis could

"Oh wow, Grandma, that is so smart of you! She wouldn't be able to pull it off!""And it will be like killing two birds with one stone!" William added and began praising his grandma by applauding her.Joanna shook her head, finding it unacceptable. "Grandma, you can't do that! You can't use that to trap me when you know that dealing with Danforth will be impossible for me! How could you do this?!"Furious, Madame Emma said, "I do what I want, Joanna!! You want to be part of this family, then you follow my rules, do you understand?!"Joanna let out a shaky breath, and a sob escaped her. Her eyes were also becoming glossy as she tried so hard to withhold the tears threatening to escape from her eyes.Then James said, "It wouldn't be too much of a big deal, right? The way you succeeded in getting a c
