“Yes sir, we are now the majority shareholder of the Armstrong Group. The documents are on your desk.” Byron's lips curled into a sweet smile. This was just the beginning for him. Suddenly, his phone rang again but this time it was a call from Larry Armstrong, Maggi's uncle. He was the only one in support of his late brother when he gave Maggi out for marriage years ago. “Byron, son… It's been a while. Don't tell me Maggi is the one keeping you busy this time.” “Not at all, sir.”Larry sighed. “It’s almost time for the party, Maggi and the rest just arrived, are you already on your way?”Party? He didn't hear about any party. But either way, he didn't think attending a party where The Armstrong's would be present was a good idea. “Thank you, but I already have plans for this evening, sir.”“Don't tell me you're not going to attend my birthday dinner. Tell me, what did Maggi say you should do at home this time? She should cut you some slack! Be rest assured I'd talk to her.”Byro

“12 million dollars?” Everyone gasped. They've never heard of any wine that cost such an amount before. Even Liam's La Luz Qutine doesn't come close.“B-But that's impossible!” Liam refused to accept it. “Can’t you see how he looks? There's no way a fucker like him can afford such amount!”“Exactly! He can't even afford to breathe, not to mention a 12 million dollars wine.” Old lady Jane snapped and the whole table nodded in agreement. “Grandma is right! How can a poor moron have such money?” Laila added.Larry sighed. “Where did you get this brew, Byron.” He asked calmly. He wanted to defend Byron but didn't know how to, considering the fact that he knows he's their live-in-son-in-law who had no job at the moment… at least that's what he knows.“A close relative gave it to me.” Byron said truthfully. It was actually his dad who gave in celebration of getting the 80 percent shares of The Armstrong Group. “What a cheap lie!” Samantha scowled, “Which of your relatives are capable of o

Liam was dumbfounded. How can the mistress of the Dashiel clan openly say she likes this idiot? What was it with Byron always being lucky with women? Is he that charming? “Maggi, my dear!” Samantha suddenly called out, walking in their direction with furrowed brows. “Why did you leave so suddenly? You know you can't afford to be seen with penniless fools.” Samantha snapped, her eyes darting to Byron's face. “You know the president of Mega Corporation loves his women, thick and flawless! You can't afford to be seen around paupers. It might ruin your chance!” She hissed at Byron and whispered into Maggi's ears. “Information just reached me and Grandma Jane that the president is single.” Though her voice was pretty low, Byron was able to hear it. Hearing this, he chuckled slightly. Interesting… He's just finding out new things about himself from Samantha. Because since when has he liked his women thick? Though looking at Vanessa, he couldn't say Samantha was wrong.

He sighed on the other end. She seems happy, he wouldn't want to take that away from his daughter. “Nothing serious, dear. It's some little issue I have to come settle in Emerald Hill.” “You're coming back home?” Vanessa was thrilled. But then, she knew he had a lot of work to do back in the west since his rank in the military was upgraded a few months ago. “What’s this about, dad?” She knows how dangerous her father can be sometimes considering the fact that he is the Lord of the underworld. “It's about your favorite uncle. But not to worry, I got everything under control.” He said with a note of finality before bidding her goodbye. She walked into her room to get dressed, still thinking about what her father said. She really hoped her uncle and cousin were fine. She hasn't heard from both of them in a while now. Later that evening, Vanessa's car pulled up in front of a luxurious building called Smiths Fab. Different luxury cars were parked at the restaurant's parking lot, p

“Most expensive mansion?” Laila raised a skeptical brow. She was more than shocked. She had thought Samantha requested for the cheapest house here? “I thought you said you wanted the cheapest house here?” Laila asked. “Shut up, Laila! Whatever I said was in the past. What's the essence of being rich if you can't afford to live in a conducive environment? We have the money to buy it, unlike this irrelevant compound space.” Samantha said, her tone lensed with mockery. Byron laughed. “The houses here are quite expensive, Samantha. You might wanna reconsider. Even the lowest house Laila is talking about is nothing below a hundred G…” “I'm trying to recall when I asked for your opinion, Byron.” Samantha cut him short. “Expensive or not, it's none of your business! And besides, the president of Mega Corporation is my potential inlaw. Once Maggi is married to him, having a house would be will be just the beginning. I'll make sure houseflies like you are banned from places like this.
