“Mister Stone! You slapped and shot me in the ear for that punk’s sake! You have gone too far! Now that my father–in–law is here, let’s see how you will explain this to him!” Rick snickered with a resentful expression on his face.Weren’t they so brazen a minute ago?He couldn’t wait to see how impudent they would be now that his father-in-law was here!“What a coincidence; his timing was perfect. Secretary Gray knows how to make an entrance!” Victoria frowned slightly.Secretary Gray’s position as secretary to the minister was not to be trifled with.Even with Victoria and John’s influence, Secretary Gray’s decision would be final.More importantly, Secretary Gray and Rick are related by marriage which made it almost a certainty that he would support Rick and whatever decision the fat bastard takes.“Secretary Gray, your son–in–law is guilty of distorting the truth, taking bribes, and accusing the innocent. We aren't leaving here until he releases the person he wrongly arrested!”Def

According to his research, not only would the pharmaceutical project go on to become a major powerhouse in the pharmaceutical industry, but it also had the potential to grow to become even larger than what the Khan family currently had. This was why Clinton was so hellbent on getting the leadership role for the project.It was sure that he would become a billionaire from it. Being the top dog in Avalon wouldn’t be a farfetched dream by that time. “Clinton, don’t get ahead of yourself. If you want my support as well as that of my colleagues, first, you would have to provide us with a stake in the project and all future profits. Secondly, loyalty is paramount. Do you understand?” Evans said sternly.“I will remember your advice, Mr. Jones!” Clinton nodded.While talking, they were interrupted by a commotion from the gardens. The noise sounded like a cacophony of curses and cries of pain.“What’s going on?” Clinton frowned.At this moment, a bodyguard rushed into the room, his face pa

Clinton struggled to understand what was so special about William that everything was going his way.Unfortunately, he would never be able to understand and for that reason, his fear towards William grew.Realizing he was a goner considering he'd been abandoned by the Smith family, his eyes turned lifeless as if his soul had left his body. Clinton knew that he was a goner.No one would save him, nor did they dare to.“Take him away!” John ordered his men to bind Clinton up.Despite knowing the truth, Clinton could never leave prison.There was only one way to leave.That is, being carried out for cremation after death.“Stop right there! What are you doing? Leave that man alone!”At that moment, Evans appeared with his two female bodyguards and approached them aggressively.Initially, he hadn’t planned on getting involved.However, Clinton was such an incompetent Idiot!How could he lose the fight?Evans was forced to intervene before that knucklehead got himself locked up.At any ra

“Granddad, look at this.” Andre pulled up a decorated box of wine. “Harold brought this beautiful wine over, a fine Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1945. We should all toast with this!”“Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1945? That’s a really expensive wine, no?”“Yes, it is. It was three hundred thousand dollars a bottle!” Harold boasted.“What? Three hundred thousand dollars a bottle?!” everyone exclaimed in shock. The sky-high price had been way beyond their expectations.The Rodriguez family was pretty well–off, but even they hadn’t had a chance to try something this expensive.“Why’d you spend all that money on this, Harold? It’s too much, no?” Ava questioned, though pride laced her tone.“Three hundred thousand isn’t much. I have another barrel of this at home, so please, you all enjoy,” Harold said with a prideful grin.“Mr. O'Malley, you’re really generous.”“Yeah, we’re really in for a treat tonight!”The family began praising Harold for his wine, feeding his ego further.“Hey, boy, look a

Celia frowned and said. “William, you may know something about medicine as a doctor but the medicinal pill is a closely guarded secret of the Heavenly Orchard. Claiming you know about it is ridiculous.”Harold, who has been watching with a smile, chimed in, “Since William claims my pill is fake, perhaps he could explain exactly how?”“A fake is a fake. What more explanation is needed?” William retorted. Harold sighed with feigned patience. “William, I think there's been a misunderstanding. Perhaps you are upset about Celia and me, but this pill was obtained at great expense through my connections at Heavenly Orchard. Don't you think it's going too far to insult my sincere gift like this?”His words immediately stirred the family's sympathy as they glared at William in disgust.Ava scolded. “William, if you can't say anything nice, then you are welcome to leave!”“That's enough, William!... It's one thing to be incompetent but being unable to accept others' success makes you truly pat
