Diana took Justin's hand and led him into the house as soon as the cab driver was no longer visible. When Justin walked into the lounge, he noticed Mrs. Elisa sitting on the couch, her gaze fixed on the television as she listened to the news."Hey, Mom," Diana said to her mother as she sat beside her, a smile curving her lips."What is it, Diana…?" Mrs. Elisa froze as soon as she saw the tall, handsome man standing in front of her, hands tucked behind him and an innocent expression on his face."Good day, ma'am," Justin said, slightly bowing to Mrs. Elisa, who seemed surprised by his presence.“G-good day, Mr. Justin. I… hmm…" Mrs. Elisa became nervous, as though she were suspecting something. "Please excuse my manners. I am surprised to see you here because my daughter did not let me know you were coming, so the cook can prepare something delicious for you."Even though she forced herself to speak, Justin could tell something was wrong, and he wanted to know what it was."You do not

Her husband was standing just inches away from her, his hands tucked behind him, when she suddenly raised her head and looked at him.In an attempt to speak, Mrs. Elisa swallowed hard. She struggled mightily to speak to her husband at that moment and started to tremblingly play with her fingers."Yes? Now go ahead and speak. What is it, my dear? I'm here to protect you from whatever is coming, if it's something harmful,” Mr. Mike let out as he cupped his wife's jaw into his palms.Despite her attempts to avoid eye contact with her husband, he insisted on them looking into each other's eyes. Mr. Mike was convinced that by maintaining eye contact, he would be able to determine whether what his wife said was a lie or the truth.She succeeded in answering his question. “ Justin is here. So Diana asked me to fetch you because your presence is required." Mr. Mike sensed the truth in her words, but he was convinced she was hiding something, and he was eager to learn what it was."No," Mr. M

Chapter 63 Justin, The Begger
Justin stood up and grimaced at Dawson, who was standing at the entrance, as if he were waiting for permission to enter the house.Mrs. Elisa quickly lowered her gaze to the ground, feeling uneasy about what was about to happen.Dawson giggled and then took out his hands from his pocket. He clapped teasingly as he walked up to them.Justin clenched his fist as he watched Dawson approach. He became enraged upon seeing Dawson.Dawson stood before Diana with a devilish expression on his face, maintaining eye contact.“What are you doing in my home?” Diana screamed in rage. She was not expecting him.Dawson decided to pay her a visit on the same day Justin was at her house, which surprised her. Dawson had not seen her in a few weeks, so it was surprising that he decided to pay her a visit while Justin was present."Are you certain it is your house? Because your husband's house is yours, not your parents'. Anyway, I'm here to take you home. A place you will love to live forever, my queen,”

As soon as that occurred, some of Dawson's guards rushed to assist him, while others rushed Justin. When Diana noticed Dawson's guards were about to attack Justin, she quickly stood in front of him, attempting to shield him from the guards.“Move out of the way, woman!” One of the guards cautioned Diana as he attempted to grab her hand and push her away from Justin so they could do whatever they wanted.“No, let him be,” Dawson told his boys as he spit blood onto the ground.One of the guards handed him a handkerchief so he could wipe his mouth.After Dawson was done cleaning his mouth, he covered the space between him and Justin, who was burning in anger as he grinned at him.Dawson looked into Dawson's eyes and said,“ I promise you that you will regret lying your filthy fingers on my face any moment from now. I promise you that this will be the beginning of a miserable life. Justin, take note of my words. A day will come when you will recall this day.”“Dawson,” Mrs. Elisa exclaimed

He crossed his legs and rested his hand on the armrest.“Do whatever you can do and provide my money, or you hand over to me your daughter to be my beloved wife,” Dawson announced as he rested his back against the couch.“I will pay the money,” a voice echoed from the entrance.Immediately the voice echoed in their ears, they shifted their gazes to the entrance to see who it was.To their greatest surprise, they found Liam Grayson standing at the doorpost with an evil smile on his face.At that point, Diana was overwhelmed with joy because her friend came to save her from the hands of Dawson.On the contrary,

“What about my sister? Inform her that I want to speak with her, and it's urgent, please. She hasn't been picking up my calls. ” “She isn't picking up your calls, probably because she's in a meeting with her business partners. Your father asked her to represent him in the meeting as usual, since you're not available.” Xander explained.Justin felt hated and rejected by the man who claimed to be his biological father. He wished he hadn't followed the guards the day they came to take him to the mansion.He should have just embraced his poverty and worked hard to make millions from his hard work so he could be a wealthy man in years to come.Nonetheless, regretting his decision to obey Mr. Hemsworth's invitation to his mansion won't change anything, so Justin shook the thought off his head.

Unfortunately, she couldn't figure it out herself. “I will advise you to listen to your father, Diana. You deserve someone like Dawson and not a street vagabond like Justin.” Liam advised her.The media team, on the contrary, stood silent without saying anything nor did they record anything. They were waiting for permission to do so, but Liam didn't permit them.However, the scene they were supposed to capture didn't happen as planned, that's why Liam didn't ask them to record.Diana, who was thinking about a thousand at a time, stood silent as she shifted her gaze away from one

Justin found himself wandering in the street as he tried to find a place and rest. He was profusely sweating as he trekked under the hot sun.As he trekked down the street, Justin did everything in his capacity and hid his face from being recognized by anyone. At last, he found a local coffee shop and sat there, maintaining his gaze on the ground to avoid being recognized by anyone.Of course, it would be shameful to face anyone's taunting after finding out that a billionaire’s son like Justin was looking tattered.He brought out his phone, and dialed the agent, who he asked to find an apartment for him.“I hope he picks up his call this time around,” Justin told himself as he placed his phone on his ear.After the second vibration, the receiver finally picked up his call, causing Justin to sigh in relief.’I thought I was scammed, but thank God that he finally picked up my call.’ Justin shut his eyes and thought to himself.“Who is on the line, please?” the person's voice echoed from

“Why are you spying on me? What do you want from me? And who sent you?” Justin bombarded Isabella with numerous questions within one breath as she jerked off his hand from her grasp. “I’m not spying on you, Justin. My mom isn't feeling well, so I decided to come to the pharmacy to get her some drugs.” she rolled her eyes. “ That reminds me, you haven't answered my question. What are you doing? And who was that you were shouting at on the phone?”“That’s none of your business, woman. Leave me alone,” Justin smacked and attempted to leave, but Isabella sidestepped and stood in his way, robbing him of the opportunity to move.“No, Justin. It's my business. Whatever concerns you, concerns me.” she smirked.“Oh, really?” Justin chuckled. “ Get out of my way, you hypocrite.”He pushed her out of the way and began walking away from the coffee shop.Isabella couldn't help but follow him, eager to convince Justin that she was a changed lady. She considered that moment as the opportunity to dis

Justin was taken aback by her words. He couldn't believe his ears. Perhaps Isabella was just kidding. He slowly turned around and faced Isabella with skeptical brows, unsure if he heard her well because he couldn't imagine living together with Isabella for months.Living with her might be okay, but what would happen if Liam found out that he was living under the roof of Isabella?Of course, he won't hesitate to mock him. Not only him, but the whole world will mock him if they find out that he is too poor to take care of himself.Another thing was that, if he agreed to live with Isabella, then his relationship with Diana would be over. Diana won't feel comfortable seeing her boyfriend sleeping in his ex's house.After a long silence, Justin finally opened his mouth to ask.“What are you saying, Isabella?” Justin inquired as though he didn't get what she said earlier.“You heard what I said, Justin. Don't say no, please,” she pleaded with him as she was convinced that Justin was plannin
