No matter how much Lorenzo tried, the car didn't start. They all panicked in fear.Ann didn't seem to be much afraid of the situation but Ashley was already cursing at Lorenzo for being slow. She even called him a fool. Her attitude made Adams who was watching get annoyed.The scene continued. The men in the two cars alighted from theirs. They got up to the car where the five of them were and smashed the window.It didn't take up to two minutes before all five of them were thrown out of the car.“Which of you is Aleric Christopher!?"It was the question that got them quiet. No one spoke. Obviously, these people had come for Aleric.“No one is talking?"Slap! A total of eight burly men beat them up for five minutes. Sera and Anna who had never been treated so harshly before could only grit their teeth as they writhed in pain.Lorenzo, his parents' only child and the pride of his family was also in a lot of pain. Being a successful jeweler in the jewelry manufacturing industry, which is

Lorenzo was beyond mad at the moment. He was about to curse at them but felt something vibrate in his pocket. It was his phone and the vibration was to notify him he only had one percent battery remaining.“You still have your phone. Quickly call someone to help us.”Anna was the first to speak. Lorenzo without any hesitation quickly placed a call to the last number on his call log. Coincidentally it was Rick's number.“Someone will come here later. Now let's just leave!"His phone turned off as he passed the message.“Leave where? You must be joking to think you can escape without being caught.” The leader suddenly came from behind. They were shocked. It was so because none of them heard the footsteps of someone approaching them.The leader shot in the air. Seconds later, they were immediately surrounded by heavily armed men. Neither of them knew how these men managed to multiply their numbers. There are now almost twenty of them.“Hands up!" They pointed their guns at them. Sera wa

Adams looked at his purchases. Indeed the items have exceeded the amount that could fit into the size of the table for two.“Young Master…” Aiden was also speechless. His young Master dared to be so audacious to order so much despite being an extremely stingy man in terms of spending money.It could only mean one thing… Aiden was angered. Why is it always him? Can't the system notice there's also a person named Aiden in it?“No. Does Harville Restaurant have takeouts?" Adams inquired.The waiter nodded."Yes. But that'll be an extra cost.”Adams was satisfied with the answer. “Great! Pack whatever remains for me to take back.”“Sure. Young Master Adams Smith. Do you have any other orders?"“Yes, help me deliver one thousand takeout dishes with exquisite food to the orphaned and the poor across A district of A City. Bills on whoever is pay

Adams didn't say a word and just quietly sat there, waiting for her to finish up and leave.“Mhmm… it's because I'm not a member of the Jarrod Family. Precisely, I've never been treated as a family before. I'm just a tool for them.”Stacy was nonchalant as she spoke. Perhaps the pressure from the Jarrod family has weighed her down so much that she could no longer endure.“I was seven years old when I brought my David Jarrod into the Jarrod family from the orphanage. The main reason was that they needed me to save their daughter, Stacy Jarrod. Due to excess blood loss while giving birth, the Madamé of the Jarrod family didn't make it.The real miss of the Jarrod, Stacy Jarrod, had inherited the panda blood from her mother, thus, when she had gotten into an accident, David Jarrod couldn't save her. Panda blood was scarce in the hospital. David has offered a skyrocketing amount for whoever had panda blood. It was at that

As the news of Hendrix George's wrongdoings spread like wildfire, the room emptied quickly, leaving him lying on the ground alone. Samantha and Evans fled the scene, not wanting to be associated with Hendrix who is now being regarded as a disgraced businessman. As Evans and Samantha rushed out of the house, they were met with a sea of angry faces. The news of Hendrix George's wrongdoings had spread quickly, and a mob had already gathered in front of their house, demanding justice. "Hey, you're one of them!" someone shouted, pointing at Evans. "You're a part of G Corporation too! Evil Hendrix George’s son," Evans and Samantha tried to push through the crowd, but it was too dense. People were shouting and throwing things at them. "We didn't know anything!" Samantha pleaded. "We're innocent!" But the crowd wouldn't listen. "Shut the fuck up. You both are far from innocent. I doubt Hendrix George completed all those evil things alone.” "Exactly! You're right. Stone them. They
