Colonel Richard Wayne stood before Travis, his posture rigid and his salute precise, a testament to his military training and discipline. With an air of seriousness, he addressed Travis, “Sir, Colonel Richard Wayne of the esteemed Storm Reapers Special Forces, reporting for duty. We stand prepared with a thousand elite fighters at your command. Your orders, Sir!”Travis regarded the colonel with a mixture of bewilderment and uncertainty. The level of deference and respect being shown to him left him feeling perplexed and out of his depth. He couldn’t fathom why the colonel regarded him with such importance or how he possessed the authority to issue orders to a military unit of such caliber. It left him pondering the extent of his influence and connections, a realm he hadn’t fully explored or understood.As Travis grappled with these thoughts, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this situation than met the eye. Perhaps his Uncle Marshall or his father could shed some
Travis’s sneer deepened as he cocked his head, scrutinizing the expression etched across Larry Roberts’ face. “Ah, I see the wheels turning in your head. Planning your revenge, are you? Plotting how you’ll come back and wreak havoc on my family once you're released from jail for causing public disturbances.”Larry's shock was evident as he looked up at Travis, his eyes widened in horror, yet he vehemently denied any such thoughts. “What?! No, no, I wouldn’t dream of such a thing…”With a disdainful scoff, Travis fixed him with a piercing glare. “Whether you admit it or not is inconsequential. But rest assured, any such notions are futile. You won't have the opportunity.”Larry Roberts trembled at Travis's words, a chill running down his spine. Glancing at his brother, Vince, he began to realize that Travis was more than just a man with a formidable force at his beck and call. “I… I can see now that you're wealthy and influential. I was naive not to recognize it earlier. But to exact p
At the entrance of Lombard's street, Travis Danforth was seen holding a box of dessert that he bought for his precious daughter, Maya.He was in deep thought when he heard a voice he hadn't heard in a long time, "Wow, young master, ten years have passed already."He furrowed his brows and his gaze swept over the elderly man dressed in an expensive suit. He chuckled coldly as he recognized him to be his family's manager.And he asked, "What the hell are you doing here?""I think it's time for you to let go of your past grudges. It's been more than ten years since you've seen your father and he misses you deeply. He also mentioned he'll be giving you everything when you return…""Return?" Travis snorted, his gaze distant. "From the day he allowed that harlot, Bianca, and her bastard son to enter our home and hurt my mother, I've severed my ties with him. He didn't believe me because he was head over heels in love with such a bitch! Believed every lie she told him. However, it could stil
Hearing what the nurse said, Travis sighed and nodded. "We'll pay up today."After saying this, he took a glance at his unconscious daughter. Her face was pale as a ghost and she looked so weak. He was desperate for anything that's gonna make her get better.The nurse chuckled as she looked at Travis disdainfully. "Then be quick. If we don't get the money before the day end, her medication will be taken off." She threatened and walked away.Ashley scoffed. "So rude. Like she owns the hospital."Madame Alice raised her voice as she reprimanded, "How can you be so…so useless! The promise you just made is impossible, Travis! Where are we gonna get five hundred thousand dollars?! Does it fall from the sky?! Do you want my daughter to go around and beg for money?! Is that how shameless you are?! Unbelievable!"Ashley chuckled and said, "Don't worry, mom. I've been planning on bringing Malcolm Baker and Joanna together so I gave him a call to come here. I'm sure he could be of help. He's ri
As Malcolm left, Joanna looked at Travis in disbelief. "Why did you do that, Travis? You think we can afford any pride at the moment?"Travis was silent for a moment as he was in deep thought. He dropped the confectionery box he was holding onto the table and he answered in a low voice, "I'm going to borrow money.""You're going to borrow money? Who do you even know? Where on earth are you going to get it, Travis?! The only person we have right now who happens to be our only hope is Director Baker!" She bawled out resentfully.Madame Alice looked at her daughter and sighed since she could tell her daughter was slowly regretting her relationship with Travis. The illness of their child is opening the blinds Travis used to cover her eyes.But it's too late. Old lady Elizabeth will not accept them ever again. Except there's a miracle. The only way out is to make her divorce Travis and find someone perfect for her. Perhaps when that happens, Old lady, Elizabeth will see reasons to accept t
Upon hearing the absurd statement Travis made, Alison looked at him like he was stupid. "What? You're looking for Manager Marshall? Do you know who he is? Do you know who he works for? Do you want to get kicked out like a dog?!"Travis frowned at her and scoffed. "Why do you care? If I get kicked out, it will be a comedy show for you to watch."Incensed by his statement, Alison replied. "Do you want to be a running joke?! To disgrace my family name?! That man works for Leon Danforth! The richest man in Mainville and the country as a whole! And you…you're just a lowly security guard! Stop making a full out of yourself!"Sandra chuckled and chided, "He probably thinks because his last name is Danforth, perhaps he could be their lost family. What a stupid coincidence, though. A nobody like you dares to answer the Danforth name."'And an ordinary secretary like you dares to insult me.' He said in his thoughts. 'One day, I will show you who the nobody is.'He sighed and decided to make a c
Travis entered the ward with his angry gaze set on Malcolm. He hated the fact that the guy was surrounding his family.But before he could say anything, Joanna beat him up to it."So where did you go to, Travis?! The hospital sent someone to ask for their fees! If Director Baker wasn't here, if he hadn't helped us settle the debt, then the would really have kicked us out of the hospital!" Joanna was livid at the sight of Travis.Her gaze held disappointment.He just left without care in the name of looking for money to borrow as if that's possible. Who does he have? He's just useless and she regretted it! What the hell blindfolded her that made her so infatuated with Travis despite his stability in the financial world."Mom, please don't yell at daddy. I know he's stressed our too so please don't yell." Maya pleaded with a pouty expression. She could tell her parents were about to start another squabble…rather her mom, since she's the only one finding faults in her dad when she consid
Malcolm stiffened to the spot where he stood, the expression on his face freezing as he stared at the money with wide eyes. He would never have imagined that a simple bodyguard like Travis would be able to borrow such a big amount of money in the amount of time that had passed since he left the hospital.Who the hell would be so generous to be willing to give out such an amount to an ordinary pauper who only earned several thousand in a month?!Things were not working out well for him. The reason why he stayed was because he needed to jibe at Travis when he returned penniless and let Joanna see how useless her husband is.He was both surprised and dissatisfied.Joanna was taken aback as well. She dreaded the fact that she was seeing Travis holding such an amount of money. Where could he have borrowed it from? How would they pay back? Is this guy even thinking?So she anxiously asked after recovering from the initial shock, "Where did you get the money? Please don't tell me it's from a
