Luke was shocked by the officer's words since this isn't what he expected. "What? What do you mean I'm under arrest? He’s the one who did everything! Why would you even arrest when he is the culprit?" He pointed at Bryan, who was standing there with a smile. All the students were glaring at Luke, and he looked completely confused, not understanding what was going on, the situation isn't how he anticipated, the situation which he wants Bryan to be in dragged him into that position.Bryan turned to the officer with a polite tone. "If you don't mind, can I talk to him for a moment, sir?""Sure, go ahead dear," the officer replied gently because of the respect they've for him. Bryan leaned in close to Luke and whispered, "Didn't you notice the microphone in the room?" Luke stared at him, puzzled by Bryan mentioning about a microphone that has been abandoned there for so long. Bryan continued, "Oh, you probably thought it was broken, but I got it fixed just a day back. So everything you sa

Bryan clenched his fist and started to walk away as even the slightest sound of that voice was irritating him, when he heard the voice again, "Bryan!" This time, he turned around and seen Neil standing there. Mirabel picked up Bryan's phone from the ground and handed it to him. Glancing at the screen, Bryan noticed the message from Stacy, informing him that Neil was coming to his college to meet him.That’s when Bryan understood Stacy was the one who had been messaging him, and now Neil was here just as Stacy said. But Bryan wasn’t interested in talking to him. Still, Neil kept calling his name wanting Bryan to pay attention to him, being irritated Bryan finally decided to respond, "What do you want?" He didn't use any honorifics as he felt it's not necessary for him to use those for someone like Neil.Ronald, Laurel, and Mirabel stepped back, giving Bryan and Neil some space to communicate, but they stayed close enough to listen."Bryan, I'm here to take you back home," Neil said wit

"I understand," Neil replied, catching onto what Bryan was hinting at, since though Bryan didn't say it directly, still it's clear enough for Neil to understand, "I'll make sure things go the way you want, I'm sure you'll not be disappointed." Bryan smiled since his suspicions confirmed, Neil was definitely up to something malicious, but Bryan didn’t really care since he had his own plans to be implemented."Good. I'll be back at that house in a few days, but I expect things to go well unlike before, Mr. Neil Winterwood," Bryan reminded Neil about the previous treatment he has gone in that house before, while Neil tried to play the fatherly card, "Bryan, I'm your dad. Call me Dad, not by my name like others."Bryan sneered inwardly, "Dad?" He thought to himself. "Isn't this the same man who once said he was ashamed to call me his son? Now he’s practically begging me to call him Dad. It’s funny how things change when your worth increases, but they could never understand that things wil

"We did it!" Arthur exclaimed with excitement in his voice, "Bryan, you got the mining project!" Bryan was so overwhelmed with happiness that he couldn't even find the words to express how he felt, that one minute, he felt as if the whole world stopped for him to enjoy this achievement.When Bryan didn't immediately respond, Arthur called his name again being worried, "Bryan... Bryan," Bryan finally managed to reply, "Yeah?"Arthur took a breath in relief as he asked, "Did you hear what I said?""Yeah, I did. Thank you," Bryan said, still processing the news in his mind, as he couldn't believe it happened for real.Arthur chuckled understanding Bryan being surprised just as him, "I should be congratulating you, not you thanking me, anyhow congrats, Bryan.""Thanks Arthur," Bryan finally smiled facing the enjoyment. "Let's meet at my place tonight.""Definitely, I'll be there as soon as possible" Arthur agreed to meet Bryan sp that he can congratulate him in person. After they ended th

"Yes, it's a diamond mining project everyone dreams for, you fool," Neil snapped angrily at his foolish wife who never understands him or his actions, "when it's that important to me, whereas you're calling it a stupid mining project and wants me to hear your nonsense, I wonder whether you've a brain or not!"Josephine felt humiliated for being slapped in front of everyone, including the workers. She touched her stinging cheek and bit her lip, trying to hold back her anger knowing the anger of her will never solve anything. Neil continued expressing his frustration, "If I had gotten that mining project, I could have earned ten times more than everything I've made so far. But now it's gone, damn it! All my dreams got vanished our night as that mining project gone to a nameless startup, can you even understand what I'm going through because of all these?""A diamond mine, huh? How can you be so sure it's full of diamonds? Did you even know whether that place is where diamonds are found
