Gareth and his wife were dragged away, leaving the atmosphere tense and overwhelmed. The onlookers were wowed and unexpectedly, they burst into a round of applause. “Wow… look at him. He is so cool.” “I wish to be the heir of the Westminster family too. Imagine how much money he has.” Listening to their words, Chris felt proud but he didn't let those words get into his head too much. He wanted to go back to his main purpose of visiting the mall. The applause came to an end and everyone dispersed. “Can I shop for the things I want now?” He asked Alexander. “Yeah… sure. But you don’t need to worry. You will be taken to the VIP section and everything you need will be brought to you.” Alexander suggested. “That will work.” Chris nodded. Alexander started to lead Chris toward the top floor of the mall. But then Bella Shaw stepped forward, pulling the edge of his clothes. “Thank you for not letting me get fired.” She whispered. “It's nothing. You didn't do anything wrong in the fi

Chris walked with Mia, hand in hand toward her table. He was quite happy that Mia stood up for him. She was also a second-generation rich heir but she was so humble and kind and didn't discriminate against him when he was a poor cleaner. As they passed by the guests, they all looked at him in awe and he could hear how they were proud he beat up Reid, especially.“I heard what happened today. I am sorry I couldn't come see you at the police station. I heard about it at my party.” She said. Chris had no problem with it. After such an unfortunate event, a lot of goodies came out. So he was quite cool. “Also, I am happy you punched that bastard…” Mia continued and then whispered, “And that cheating bitch. I warned you about her.” She was talking about Melissa.“Turns out you were right. Melissa’s case is closed, Mia. I don't want her anywhere near me.” Chris realized that he had not even thought about or processed his breakup with Melissa. It was just a gust of wind that blew away so q

“Are you sure about that?” Mia asked, feeling a bit scared for Chris. “It's okay.” He shrugged. Ria took this as the cue to call her brother and she did. The phone rang and on the second ring, the call connected. It was on speaker phone but then Ria didn't let her brother know it was. “Hi, Big brother…” Ria smiled as she greeted her brother. “Yes, Ria. Are you okay? Do you need some money?” Alexander asked, his tone caring. The other people looked at Ria with envious gazes, especially Shantel. Ria had parents and a brother who was ready to spend on her, yet their families were rocky even though they had wealth. “No, bro. But if you want to send me some. You can.” Ria chuckled. Mia couldn't help but roll her eyes and she just wanted to shout at Ria to go straight to the point. “Alright. Is there anything else?” Alexander asked. “Yes, big bro. There is someone named Chris here…” Ria watched Chris for any change of expression but there was nothing. So, she continued, “He claims h

The table went silent and all eyes were on Chris. They saw nothing with him and they immediately felt like he was just leeching off Mia since he didn't bring anything. This time, Mike chipped in, “But then, do you expect him to get something after he must have used all his life savings to bail himself out today?” At his words, there was a round of mocking laughter at the table. “Oh, Chris. How was prison?” A guy at the table asked. “Should we consider you an ex-convict now?” “Ex-convict Chris.” Somebody called out to him and they all burst out laughing again. “This is not fair!” Mia cut them off, her hand fisting on her thighs. She then glared at Mike and Melissa. “What makes you think Chris didn't get anything for me? Why are you attacking him? Is it because of what happened today?” Mia was sure he did though because he told her. “Of course, he didn’t.” Melissa chuckled. “Did you see anything on him?” “And if you want to talk about what happened today, not here, please. I sti

Chris was polite and Ria couldn't do anything to stop him. He actually had no reason to reject Ria but then it was a bit uncomfortable for him to just accept her demands. He met her for the first time they day, and while Ria didn't seem to be poor and after his money, he knew he had to be careful. Ria watched Chris walk up to Mia and kiss her goodbye. She was seething in anger, not knowing why he turned her down that way. What was he in a hurry to do anyway? As she watched Chris walk out with Mia, she didn't want to be left out. But what she did, was to take out her phone and she called her brother, Alexander. He picked up on the first ring. She said, quickly, “Big brother, is there a way you can invite Chris to the house?”“Why?” Alexander was confused. “You will know very soon.” She replied and then coaxed him into acceptance. He did and she ended the call. By that time, Chris had already been out of the event hall with Mia seeing him off. “You are going to the parking lot? Di
