Travis pulled up to Mainville in a luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom, a generous gift from Frederick Marshall upon hearing of Travis's visit to his hometown.His first stop was the Golden Tower, managed by his supposed brother, Edwin. Travis pondered for a moment, contemplating whether to enter the establishment or divert his attention elsewhere, perhaps to visit his friends or even his father.Just as he was mulling over his options, Travis's phone rang, displaying Devon's name on the screen. He answered the call and greeted, "Hello.""Travis, have you arrived?" Devon inquired immediately.Travis acknowledged Devon's response with a nod. "Yeah, I'm in front of the Golden Tower," he confirmed, noticing a security guard approaching him with an aggressive demeanor."Travis is here?! Oh my goodness, Travis is here?!" Annabeth's voice exclaimed excitedly from the other end of the line."It appears you're with Anna," Travis remarked, his attention divided as the security guard continued to ins
Travis firmly closed the door, leaving the guard on the other side. His eyes shifted to the woman who was hastily fixing her disheveled attire, while Edwin seethed with rage.With her gaze lowered, the woman hastily made her way towards the door, but Travis firmly held his ground, preventing the lady from escaping past him. He looked directly at her, his expression serious and commanding.The woman, Diana, mustered up the courage to speak, though her voice trembled slightly. “Excuse me, Sir,” she pleaded, her eyes still avoiding Travis’s gaze.Edwin, seething with anger, lashed out, “You don’t have to be like that, Diana. Whoever this bastard is, he will be fired immediately! Come back here!” Edwin’s eyes were fixed on Diana, his anger palpable.Diana swallowed nervously and reluctantly returned to Edwin's side.Travis chuckled in disbelief, finding amusement in the situation. "Well, well, Edwin. It seems you've grown some courage. You want to fire me?"Edwin finally looked up and met
After Travis departed from Edwin's office, Edwin swiftly retrieved his phone from the ground and dialed his mother's number. After a brief pause, Madame Bianca's voice came through, clearly preoccupied."Edwin, why are you calling? I'm extremely busy," she whispered hurriedly.Edwin shook his head, his anger still simmering within him. "You can't be busy with what I'm about to tell you, Mother. It's extremely important.""Alright, get straight to the point," Bianca replied, her tone becoming more attentive.Edwin let out a sigh before sharing, "It's about Travis, Mom. I had an unexpected visit from him.""Huh? An unexpected visit?" Bianca's voice revealed her confusion."Yes, Mom. He appeared out of nowhere. He visited Golden Tower," Edwin informed, his words laced with concern.Madame Bianca let out a gasp of surprise and frustration. "Damn it, how could he be here already? What on earth is he thinking?""Mom, he's the new chairman of the Danforth Group. Dad handed everything over to
Having made the firm decision to avoid a meeting with his father, Travis left Mainville behind. Learning about Travis's choice from Damien and Devon, Leon Danforth couldn't help but sink into a state of disappointment. Deep down, he had yearned for his son to appear at his doorstep, hoping for a heartfelt reunion. However, Leon understood that Travis had chosen a different path—one that didn't involve facing him directly.Despite the significant length of their separation, Leon still possessed an intimate understanding of his son. Now, he found himself locked in a contemplative struggle, considering whether to reach out and make the call. For several minutes, he stared at his phone, weighing the possibilities, his eyes fixated on Travis's contact, with the Caller ID serving as a poignant reminder: 'My Son.'Edwin returned home and greeted his father, Sir Leon, who was sitting on the couch. "I heard Travis paid you a visit today," Sir Leon remarked, looking up from his couch.Edwin
As they sat together at the dining table, Joanna raised a topic that had been on her mind. "Travis, you mentioned earlier about arranging something special for our anniversary, right?"Travis, engrossed in feeding Maya, nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes, I did mention it. I wanted to make our anniversary memorable."Joanna's expression turned disapproving, and she shook her head. "I've reconsidered. I don't want you to go through the trouble anymore."Confusion filled Travis's face as he looked at Joanna. "What? Why? I thought we both agreed on making it special."Joanna's tone remained firm as she explained, "I'm extremely busy with my own commitments to be bothered about such. Celebrating our anniversary seems trivial compared to my responsibilities. Besides, I already have other obligations during that time and I'd rather engage in it than do anything else."Travis's disbelief was evident in his stare, but he held his tongue, knowing he couldn't argue with Joanna's request."And also,
Travis arrived at the airport and was taken aback to find William and Alison engaged in conversation with Sophia Marrion. He frowned as he wondered what they were doing there.Upon catching sight of Travis, Alison spotted him and let out an incredulous chuckle. “Oh, look who’s here. What is he doing here?”William turned as well, his tone scornful upon seeing Travis. “Don’t tell me that brainless cousin of mine sent you here, Travis. How can a lowlife like you welcome a woman like Sophia Marion? Unbelievable.”Sophia let out an awkward chuckle. “Uh, if you don't mind, William, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t insult Joanna. I don't really see why she's brainless.” Sophia walked toward Travis, offering a smile. “Hi. I’m Sophia Marrion, as you already know.”Travis nodded and responded, “Yeah, my wife asked me to come here and welcome you.”“Which is mostly because he's nothing more than Joanna’s messenger! I mean, seriously, what is he even doing now? Nothing!” Alison laughed in derisio
They arrived at Green Empire, and Sophia’s gaze swept around the opulent surroundings with a sense of awe. The place exuded extravagance, its appearance alone indicating that it catered exclusively to the elite.Casting a sidelong glance at Travis, she couldn’t help but wonder why he had asserted he could afford a private box in such a high-end five-star establishment. Was he attempting to win her favor? Unbelievable.Moving together, they approached the receptionist’s desk, and William began, “We have a reservation —”The receptionist’s eyes widened upon seeing Travis, and she quickly interjected, “Oh, yes, I’m aware.” Handing a ticket to William, she explained, “Just hand this to a waiter, and they’ll guide you to the designated room.”William accepted the ticket, a smile spreading across his face and was surprised to see it was the Empire Box. He glanced back at the receptionist, a perplexed expression on his face. Could there have been a mistake? No, they couldn't have.Amused, he
The gentleman clad in a sleek black suit courteously guided the group to the Empire Box, whereupon reaching their destination, he produced a list and extended it directly to Travis. With deference, he stated, “Sir, kindly sign here.”The paper was presented to Travis for his signature, given that the Empire Box had been exclusively reserved in his name.Travis took the paper, a pen handed to him. Yet, as he was about to affix his signature, William’s voice erupted in a sudden outcry, “I always knew you were an imbecile!! Put that fu¢king pen down this instant!”Snatching both the pen and paper with an angry expression, William swiftly added his name before venting his anger at Travis. “Do you possess even an ounce of shame?! You were given a document to sign, and you dared to pick it up!! Who made arrangements for this box, huh? Something even your lifetime is incapable of affording and you have the audacity to lift the pen to sign in my stead! What qualifications do you think you hav
