Levi trembled with anger. Sleeping on the floor for a week? Treatment stopped? What happened to the money Zoey collected for his father's treatment?"Hey dude!" The young man pushed him. "Are you going to pay up or not? Your father is clearly not in the state to do so.""How are you so sure it was my father that stole the money? He has been sleeping outside the ward for a week. How can he steal the money that was inside the ward?" Levi boiled as he spoke.His father was at the critical stage of dementia and needed all the treatment he could get yet he was being maltreated this way."Dude, the ward's door was opened and besides, after I left to have a word with the doctor, it was only your father who was sitting outside here that could have stolen the money.""Just pay up and don't delay this poor boy," The nurse added. The crowd also agreed thinking Levi should just pay what his father has stolen."I might not be filial like you," Levi pointed to the young man. "But I know my father wi

Levi patted the bed covers as he stood up. He stopped at the foot of the bed and watched Thomas snoring softly.The servants had gotten his father all cleaned up and he was starting to look like the man he knew. Only that his hair had gone grey and his body was wrinkled from old age and too many trials of life.After staring for a minute, he stepped away and walked to Brooklyn who was standing at the door.When the door closed behind them, he expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Brooklyn. I'll clean up the mess my father made in your car."Brooklyn shook her head, "You are my husband... The servants will take care of that."A minute of silence hung in the air before she added,"Well, your father has to stay at my villa for the meantime. The servants will take good care of him. But I'm afraid we'll have to live at my family's house for now. At least till grandmother is cured.""I have no issues with that. I have hired a nurse to take care of dad. I'll also keep an eye on him to ensure h

"Do you think I am dead? You can't remove anyone from the family's register without my consent," Grandfather Hernandez tapped his stick on the floor repeatedly."But father, look at how unruly she is behaving. It is only because you have given her the chance to do so," Luis was indignant. He felt his father was being biased.The marriage arrangement between their family and the Rockefellers was supposed to strengthen their status and affluence but this brat just went ahead and ruined it.Her actions to Larry just now have undoubtedly caused a family feud even though the latter was also wrong. But how could he accept this?Without him saying a word, Levi realized all his thoughts and his eyes were filled with coldness.What sort of a man places no value on his daughter's happiness? The Hernandez's family wealth is vast enough. What more does he need and why is he willing to go to any lengths for it?So he turned to grandfather Hernandez and bowed slightly, "Grandfather, I apologize for

When Levi was led to the waiting area, everyone's eyes fell upon him but then they looked away as they didn't recognize him.The people also waiting for the job application were undergraduates who had studied at various distinguished universities and knew one or two other persons there.But Levi... He graduated from a local college and slaved away at The Chronicle so he wasn't popular hence causing him to be isolated from others.Noticing their degrading attitudes, he quietly found a seat closer to the door and waited patiently for his turn.There was a long queue as the print media company was also fairly popular just like The Chronicle.Levi noticed applicants that walked in all came out one after the other with sad or tearful expressions but he didn't fret.The queue was gradually reduced until one of the applicants who had been acting haughtily earlier walked out of the board room with a wide smile.People around quickly gathered to fawn over him."I knew you would pass.""Look at

"Are you sure about this? Look at the image closely," The man urged his friend. The grocer peered at the image and flicked his fingers."Sam, I cannot be mistaken about this. I have—" His words trailed off when he finally realized where he had seen it.Wasn't this the same ring he and Levi tried to pull off the other night but refused to come off?"Wait, why do you have this?" He squinted at Sam."This is my new research. This artifact is quite special and whoever is able to produce it for the museum will receive a handsome reward."'It isn't safe to tell too many people about the true origin of the Versatilian Band,' Sam thought as he looked at the ring's image with a profound look. 'If they get to know, it possesses special powers such as allowing the wearer to rapidly acquire proficiency in various skills or enabling the wearer to quickly grasp and excel in a wide range of talents, making them a master of many trades... It might fall into the wrong hands.'Sam tapped on the file ab
