Seeing how reluctant he was to speak, she knew if he said anything to her, it wasn’t going to be the truth. She had a principle of letting people tell her their truth.Even if it ends up being a lie, Mia preferred to discover that herself rather than to force anyone to give her informationIf she was being pressed about something she was not willing to share, she just lies automatically. She didn’t want him to lie to her especially when she knew nothing about him.And the investigation she had conducted on him showed nothing on him.He was someone that she married and she could barely read him, she didn’t want to get used to him lying to her.“Er..” he started. He wanted to explainShe placed his finger over his lips. “Shuush. If you're not ready to talk about it, I will wait.”His eyes were fixed on her and he swallowed hard at her response. He wasn’t going to lie to her. He was going to say he got hit by leaving the casino, which meant that he was leaving the dangerous parts of th

“Is Mike back? Get him here at once.” Lord Nelson barked at his butler who was standing behind him. “Yes sir.” The butler answered in fear and hurried to Mike’s room while the angry Lord Nelson kept pacing around his room, reading the message he got from Logan.He got wind of what happened at the casino, he planned to not make an issue out of it but the message he got from Logan that made him check the garden’s footage spiked his anger level.Mike wasn’t a saint and lord nelson knew that but he could not disown him or kick him. He was aware of most of the atrocities from school but he chose to ignore it.Few minutes later, the butler returned with Mike who still had sleep in his eyes. He had returned late from work, trying to clean up the mess Logan had created in the casino so Lord nelson.“What have you done!!!!” Lord Nelson yelled. He had tried to bottle up his anger. “Why do you keep causing me problems?” Mike had been in Lord Nelson's care since he was a child.His parents passe

Melissa seized the opportunity to whisper loud enough for nearby ears, “Seems some people have their own sense of timing, don’t they?” Her words, tinged with mockery, were directed at Mia, suggesting that Logan’s tardiness reflected poorly on her. “He is not even hiding the fact that he has no regard for our family, what can we do with a man like this in our family. Grandpa, you should do something about him before he stains our name in public.” Lord Leihart was quiet and only took a sip of his tea. “Other son-in-laws that are from other reputable families have been here since yesterday but a nameless one chose to come late on the D-day. He doesn’t deserve to be in this family. It is a shame that Mia chose to marry someone like this.” Meliss’a mom said to support her daughter. Maliya was fuming in her seat but she had promised her husband to remain calm at the event and not exchange words with anyone. She knew that the best revenge would come whenever she returned to her position.

“Let’s put a call through to the auction committee and find out who bought the real Jade,” The Butler suggested.“Do that right away.” Lord Leimhart instructed with a frown on his face. If Logan had brought a Jade to him, he could issue a fraud report against him and ask him to divorce his granddaughter right away. Though he wasn’t going to get his beloved Jade, he could marry his Favorite granddaughter to a good and reputable family. It was a win-win situation for him, except if the Jade was legit, he might have to bring himself to accept Logan as his in-law.“You should get a seat while we wait.” Lord Leinhart said to Logan.”He bowed to them then walked to the last table, not failing to give Mike a deadly glare and he drew a line across his neck. Logan joined Mia and her parents on the last table, he sat right next to Mia and she pulled close to him. “Hey!” She whispered.“Hi.” He replied to her. Then noticed how she was holding onto him, he didn't know if she was acting like s

As Logan walked quietly behind the butler, he wasn’t scared or afraid. He went there with the intention of having a conversation with Lord Leinhart.The butler opened the door for Lord Leinhart to go in. Lord Leinhart faced the butler. “Wait for us here.”“Yes, my lord.” The butler remained outside and shut the door after Logan went in.Logan bowed lowly before Lord Leinhart, it had been a while since he last bowed before anyone. Many rich people and their families were always at his beck and call but he was paying respect to Lord Leimhart because he was his wife’s grandfather. “Who are you?” Lord Leinhart said in a stern voice. “You may fool anyone including my granddaughter but you can’t fool me.”Logan thought of what to say, he knew that if he exposed himself as the president of starfall group, it could make Lord Leinhart discredit Mia’s effort in getting the contract. Also he could not tell him that he was a secret agent.It would be a ridiculous thing to say and he doubted that
