More chairs had been arranged in the dining room as the entire Miller family usually had dinner together after the memorial. Mia led the man she came with to the two empty seats beside her father. She was about to pull out a chair for herself when the man hurriedly walked past her and did it instead. Some of her female relatives instantly turned green with envy seeing this while Joseph beamed proudly. “Theo, this is my grandmother, my father and my elder brother.” Mia introduced as soon as they got seated, totally ignoring Aria and her family. “Mia has told me a lot about all of you. It’s nice to finally meet you.” The young man nodded politely. Joseph had quietly vetted everything he was putting on as soon as he walked into the house. Mia had told him earlier the man she was bringing wasn’t from a regular family like theirs. He had expected her to bring someone just a little richer than their family, but seeing how expensive the suit he was putting on seemed, he realized this
Ryan glared the person in annoyance. “Hey, are you mad?” The person shook his head and shakily lowered his eyes to the floor apologetically. “I-I’m sorry. It’s just I saw the tag on the suit of Mr. Humphrey and decided to search up the brand online only to find out this exact suit he’s putting on was made five years ago and there’s only three of it in the world.” Ryan’s eyes trembled in shock and he sputtered out shock, “Wh-what? Only three of it was made? Doesn’t that mean it’d be crazy expensive?” The family member nodded grimly as he showed everyone the screen of his phone. The people closest to him gasped and covered their mouths with their palms in disbelief. “Te-ten million dollars? That’s crazy expensive!” “Hold on, it says here that the suit, the white worn inside and the suit pant are sold separately and are sold for the same amount.” “Doesn’t that mean Mr. Humphrey’s clothing is worth not ten but thirty million?” “If we add the amount of the expensive wristwatch on
The spoon fell to the floor making a loud sound. As a result, everyone turned their attention towards her. Including Theo. When he saw Aria, he paused. Who was this beautiful lady? She was a hundred times prettier than Mia. And he got together with Mia only because everyone he asked said she was the second most beautiful female in Wentworth. Since he couldn’t get his hand on the most beautiful woman in the city, it was only right that he went for the second most beautiful before someone else got to her before him. At first, he worried she’d give him a tough time like the most beautiful woman did. However, he was glad to see that she was someone who was easily impressed. As soon as he told her he was from a wealthy family, she clung onto him like a second skin. Sleeping with her was an achievement which would do his ego a lot of good once he got back to his city and told his friends. So he decided to play along with everything, even promising her marriage just so
Leon halted and slowly brought down his leg. The man on the floor sat up immediately and crawled backward. Everyone else who were talking about Aria also scurried to the back to avoid meeting the same fate as him. Leon lowered his face to the floor and sluggishly dragged his feet across the floor to where Aria stood. As an idiot who was unpredictable, he could do whatever he wanted and it’d be blamed on his brain accident. Their words really annoyed him, and he merely acted on impulse. However, he quickly forgot Aria would be blamed for his actions. Hence, the reason he had his head lowered to the floor guiltily. Not because he was sorry for slapping the relative. Joseph got on his feet immediately and pointed a shaky finger at Aria, his entire body trembling in rage. “This is grandfather’s memorial, how could you let your dog beat up one of your relatives on such an important day?” “How could you do this in front of grandmother? Not only is it an insult to grandfather, it’s a
The dinner ended two hours later. After Mia saw Theo out, she returned back to find everyone silent and Stella gazing at a tablet. "What is wrong?" Ryan looked up at her and responded, "Kings Technology Group made a post on their social media handle a three hours ago about the location of the yearly investment program changing." "It'll no longer be held here in Wentworth but in South Ville." Mia frowned in confusion as she took her seat. "Isn't the investment program starting tomorrow? Why would the change it the night before?"Before Ryan could respond, Stella breathed out loudly and cleared her throat noisily."The date was shifted to the day after tomorrow. So we have a day to adjust our schedule and get ready to go over to South Ville." "South Ville is three hours drive away from here, so I won't be able to go with you. However, Miller Group needs as many hands as possible over there." "So the two main branch of our Miller family will be attending the investment program."
After shouting at her, Dean turned his head to look at Leon and hissed gloomily, “Hey, let go of my mother if you don’t wish to die!” Leon slowly released his grip on Emma and the woman stomped up to her room with Dean, boiling in rage as she massaged her red wrist. Aria went up to her room with Leon trailing behind her a a minute Jared.Aria dropped her bag on the table and began taking off her clothes. “Leon, do something for me.” Leon felt a tightness in his throat as she stripped down to her innerwears. However, he still replied in a clear voice, “Leon will do anything for Aria.” Aria tilted her head to the side, looking at him from above her shoulders as she sighed, “From now on, don’t do anything I don’t ask you to. Be quiet and don’t act out whenever we’re in public or with the Miller family, do you understand me?” “But Aria, Leon doesn’t feel happy when they say bad things about you.” “Leon shouldn’t worry about what they say about me. He should focus on being a good bo
The two men noisily walked around the store looking for things to take. By the time they were done, both of their trolleys were filled to the brim. “I’m only letting you off this time because you’re giving these to us for free. Now pack it up for us.” “O-okay.” The woman nodded and tried to pick up the checkout bags beside her, but they kept slipping out through her fingers. “Hey, do you think we have all the time in the world to spend here?” “I-I’m sorry.” She finally stabilized herself enough to pick a checkout bag and packed everything they had in their trolleys into different bags before handing it over to them. They dropped the bags in the trolleys and we’re about to wheel it out when one of them caught sight of the cash spilling out from the cash register. “You have money here. Were you just going to let us walk out of here empty handed?” “W-what?” The woman blinked her eyes, consciously shielding the money from their sight with her body. The thug sighed and turned to
“Are you looking down on me because you’re taller? I’ll kill you!” The one who was shoved back by Leon screamed and rushed towards him with his knife in hand. Leon flexed the rope of the earpiece as he waited for him to get closer. As soon as he an arm reach away, he reached out and put the ropes around his neck then tightened it to suffocate him. The thug tried to stab him on the abdomen by moving his hand backward, but Leon slanted his body backward, slammed his elbow into his shoulder and swept his legs off the floor then placed his foot on his chest once he was on the floor. Then he bent over and forced out the knife which the thug was clutching tightly. He straightened up again and glanced at the second thug who was still standing at the spot with a shocked look on his face. “You’re not coming to help your friend. Didn’t you say friends help each other out?” The first thug frantically struggled to get Leon’s foot off him all no avail before he looked towards his friend for
