"Ma," Zoey looked down with a frozen smile and accepted the credit card the salesgirl was returning to her.She turned to her friends and put on an expressionless face. "I guess there must be something wrong with my credit cards. I'll have to leave to return home and ask my husband right away.""Okay," Her friends nodded, pretending to be understanding. They even collected the bags of things she had bought at the mall."We understand. We'll return this for you. There's nothing embarrassing about not being able to buy them now. We can simply come here some other time.""Yes... You should leave early to ask your husband. It's better to know if the problem with your cards is temporary or... permanent."Zoey watched as they exchanged gazes and her fingers curled into fists by her side.They were acting so caring but how could she not understand the hidden meaning in their words.Ungrateful bitches... Had they forgotten how she used to pay for all the things they'd bought at malls and thei

"So handsome and obscure. He must be some kind of hidden big shot.""Quick, take as many pictures as you can. We can't miss out on exclusive news when his identity comes out later."While the paparazzi went crazy taking as many pictures as they could, the other door of the car opened and Lincoln stepped out.The crowd was awed. Too much gorgeousness dazzled their eyes."There's another one and he's equally handsome. I'm glad I accepted this assignment!" A reporter professed joyfully."Wait, why does this person look so familiar?" Someone pointed out."He... He does look familiar," another affirmed.Someone quickly did a quick research and exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's the legendary heir of the Lloyd's family.""What? The Royal family from Wales?""Yes. When did he come to San Jose?""Does that matter? He's here now... Besides, that man beside him looks a bit similar... Could they be brothers?""I can't imagine the excitement that would take over the web tonight... Lloyd's heir and his c

Levi looked into the crowd and made eye contact with Micheal. He snorted seeing the provoking look on his face."It seems acquiring the company didn't make you bankrupt," He muttered underneath his breath and raised his bidding card."$15,000,000!"Micheal gritted his teeth seeing Levi directly raised the bidding price by five million difference but he wasn't about to back down."$17,000,000!" Someone else raised her bidding card. More people also joined in the bidding war as they didn't want to miss a getaway to the Maldives to enjoy with loved ones.However, Micheal was bidding for the sole purpose of beating Levi.But when the bidding price rose above twenty million, he could no longer bid because it was already more than half of the budget he had with him and he needed to spend it on something worthy of attracting others' admiration.It was humiliating for him to stop halfway but he no longer raised his bidding card."$25,000,000 going once!" The auctioneer called out.The hotelie

There was still no response and Levi was quite frustrated. He loosened the ropes around Lincoln and helped him to sit against the walls of the van.Because the van was moving sideways a bit, they kept slipping and it took quite an effort to make him sit up against the wall."Lincoln," He called again, tapping his face.The next minute, blood started to seep out of his nostrils, startling Levi. He was still unconscious."Oh no," Levi mumbled to himself. It seemed like the previous injuries that hadn't healed coupled with the hit earlier might have caused some sort of internal bleeding.Levi now knew letting Lincoln out of the van was out of the question as his body obviously couldn't take any more injuries or he would collapse.So as the van moved, Levi held him. His ring glinted slightly as the spiritual energy escaped from his body to Lincoln's.It took quite some time but his bleeding stopped and Levi let go because he was feeling dizzy as he had drained a substantial amount of ener

"What do you mean? Why did no one ever mention my son going to San Jose?"The guards connected on the video call were trembling in fear although the middle-aged man on the phone was miles away.He was Cyrus Jones, Lincoln's father. After a calm had been put across Wales to inform Marie and grandfather Lloyd that Lincoln was missing with three others though the family of others managed to keep the news under wraps.Grandfather Hernandez wasn't worried about his son-in-law's reaction as he asked, "You say, his close friend Levi is missing also?""Yes sir," One of the guards confirmed it and he almost staggered backwards if it weren't for Marie who held him.Cyrus noticed this reaction and felt there was something else he didn't know."Father," He also rushed to hold grandfather Lloyd and help him to a chair."Sir, we have our men all over the city searching for them and we have also contacted the police although they made it known to us that they can't do anything now as it hasn't been t
