*****When Alex heard the old man's question, a smile of understanding formed on his face, then he bent his head slightly to look at Cliff.His face immediately developed a little grin before he turned to face the old guy again, his face becoming expressionless once more."Yes, the President first intended to leave, but he changed his mind when he learned that there were some stalkers outside."Even before Alex finished what he was saying, the eyes of the trio—Cliff Sotto, his father, and grandfather—had already widened."Stal... stalker?The elderly man's face turned completely pale before he abruptly sent a chilling, deadly intent at Alex."Was that really what the President said, or something you came up with?" He yelled at Alex in a threatening tone.Who is Alex now, though? Someone who has the capability of destroying the old man with just a single breath, therefore, wasn't affected by his threat or tone at all.Well, that doesn't mean he wasn't offended, though, since he was awar
*****Hearing the tug’s words, Alex glanced coldly at him for a moment, then ignored him and looked at the remaining ones one after the other.After a second, he saw them ignore him as if they couldn't be bothered with him, and then their gazes filled to the brim with hunger and greediness turned toward the lady whose head was still completely bent, looking very nervous.Immediately he saw all this, Alex's heart went cold, and he began to wonder how such an innocent lady could be taken advantage of.“Brat! Are you deaf or what? Why don't you get going now if you have no business here?"One of the bullies whose irritated gaze hadn't left Alex yelled angrily, clearly unhappy that Alex was delaying their urgent mission.When Alex heard this, he finally returned to his senses and grinned coldly.'Perhaps I wouldn't have gotten involved if I were weak, but now that I have the strength and capability to get involved, wouldn't I become worse than them if I did nothing to assist the individual
*****Never had Alex expected to see what he was currently seeing, so his mouth became wide open with shock as he and Jewel stared at each other.After a time, Jewel returned to her senses and felt apprehensive, then she took several steps back while burying her face behind her palms.When he saw this, Alex also returned to his senses, but it was a humorous smile that emerged on his face, while he was filled with questions within himself.'Wasn't it claimed that the Class President came from a wealthy family?' 'What's she doing in a location where she is being molested?'Alex took in a deep breath, then finally turned to the tugs, who were still howling as if their a$$es were on fire.Looking at them, Alex noticed that they were all attempting to rise with menacing expressions on their faces, so he crossed his arms on his chest and let them stand up, but the next second, he felt someone tugging his shirt nervously from behind."Le... let's go already!"Alex heard an anxious voice full
*****Alex had a puzzled expression on his face as he marched silently alongside his class President.He couldn't help but think back to what he just heard from her, which made him even more bewildered as to how such things could be happening.According to his Class President's statements, which she wouldn't have told him if it hadn't been for what Alex did for her tonight,She told him about the already known knowledge about her family, and then she told Alex about what actually drove her to do what she did tonight: becoming drunk.According to her words, her family was always filled with competition, and to her misfortune, her immediate family was one of the ones that don't get the support of the family leader.She stated that when her grandfather was still alive, her immediate family was the most adored, but immediately he died and her grandmother took control of the family, she began to show her uncle and his family the greatest favoritism and support.Well... she said that wasn't
****In the Sotto family’s estate.Although it was already very late in the night, nobody was sleeping yet, and the atmosphere inside was so heavy and creepy right now.It was as if an extremely important member of the family had died which was very contradictory to the vibrant and lively atmosphere present in the previous nights and that morning.At this moment, with their faces looking like they were mourning, all the members of the Sotto Family could be seen standing inside a sitting room while the old Patriarch and his wife who looks so nervous to death right now were seated on a couch.“What the heck are you trembling for? Do you want me to have you thrown out?”The old man suddenly snapped at a five-year-old boy who was presently too scared of the heavy aura on him, making the boy become even more overfilled with dread, then within the blink of an eye, the boy’s face became utterly pale and he fell to his butt which only angered the elderly-man even more.Seeing this pitiful-look
*****The next morning, Alex woke again feeling refreshed, something he still wasn’t used to.After stretching on the bed for a while, recalling the events that transpired the previous day, Alex quickly jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash himself.After he exited the washroom, a great issue suddenly beset him, and that was what to wear.At this moment, Alex could be seen standing inside the huge empty dressing room located in his suite, staring with irritation in his eyes at the rags in his hands.“How in the hell am I going to wear this again today?”He mulled helplessly to himself. “In the past, I couldn’t afford good dresses because of the situations, but what about now?”His brows furrowed together, then he started studying the rags that had several almost visible holes in them, and he instantly felt embarrassed of himself. “I now have alone for myself an enormous amount of money, power, and background that could get me literally everything I want in the world, but h
*****“Cousin, I heard you went missing last night, how were you later found?”Presently, inside a not-too-grandiose villa, a not-too-beautiful lady who was dressed in expensive designed clothes could be seen smiling smugly with a sarcasm filled eyes at Jewel, who has once again reverted to her cold self right now.Having no intention whatsoever to answer the lady’s question, like she always does, Jewel gazed expressionlessly at her, acting as if she wasn’t the one the lady was speaking to.Although this had always been the case, the lady was still offended to the core, making her eyes abruptly flash coldly.Suddenly, she remembered something and a smile filled with scorn surfaced on her face.“That wasn’t my problem anyways.”She chuckled before looking down at Jewel as if she was looking at a trash can and she continued. “Grandmother implored me to order you to come see her as soon as possible.”Finished uttering this, the lady gave Jewel a wicked smile and turned to her left before
****Some minutes earlier, Alex arrived at the slum.Upon getting to the rented apartment, he tried opening his and grandmother's apartment door with his key, but no matter how much he tried, he realized to his shock that it wouldn’t open.After a while, he realized, to his shock and disbelief, that the lock had been changed.Just when he was being stomped about this, a drunkard woman opened the door from the inside and gave Alex some strange and suspecting gazes, as if Alex were a criminal.With this, Alex quickly realized that the landlady had really done what he had only thought was an empty threat.With this, Alex scurried to the Landlady’s apartment to ask her what was going on and where she dumped his and his grandmother’s things, which caused the current insults.……..“Useless waste! How dare you have the nerve to come to me for your things, Hun? I thought you and your useless grandmother has died somewhere when you refused to pay my house rent, so I’ve had someone throw out the
