His expression stiffened with overwhelmed coldness. With his eyes still gazing at his screen, he contemplated whether or not to answer the call. After a while of thinking, he glanced at the call for a while, before returning his gaze back to the road. His gaze was fixed on the road until he returned back to his mansion, on getting inside, his phone was still vibrating from the same caller id as earlier. Elmo still didn't bother answering instead, he went to his room to take a bath and afterward he returned back to the sitting room to work on his laptop.His eyes were glued to the laptop as he was making intense research about the Lux company and also Mr Lucas himself. From the meeting they had today, Elmo could detect that Mr Lucas was a very cunning businessman and he would do anything just to make excess money. Just because of that, Elmo had to send Stuart to get some information about Mr Lucas' movement for the past few months and just looking at the information now, his lip curle
"I don't need to tell you what I think of myself as it's none of your business and also as for me pleading to you, that should be in your wild dream!""Oh, just shut the crap! C'mon you know your last word is a big joke, you know your stance and what you're worth of, that's why in the past you're always pleading for my mercy in any small issue so I must say that your last words is one hell of a joke!""My last words are jokes to you? Hold on a minute.." he paused as though he just figured out something. " Wait.. do you think, all those times I do plead to you is because I was poor and not stable. Is that it? If that was your thoughts, then I must say you're the one telling the biggest joke.""For real, although then, I was poor, but you're fully aware that I only beg and plead to you because I was once in love with you so don't you expect that all that has happened in the past will ever occur again. You should also take away any form of thought that includes me always abiding to you
"Look at how disheveled you look, you really don't need to take his ridiculous words so seriously." Camillia said as she motioned for Kiara to sit next to her, but Kiara was so angry that she would prefer standing for an entire day without sitting.Since Kiara didn't want to sit down, Camillia didn't force her again, instead she went ahead and joined her daughter in being angry, with furry in her eyes, she bellowed. "What does Elmo, that son-in-law, think of himself? Has he suddenly forgotten his place in this family?" Her voice, etched with anger as she spoke. She was so angry at how Elmo made her daughter have sleepless nights.Having heard her mother also looking, infuriated, Kiara added hers. "Mom, Elmo has really forgotten about us. He has in fact forgotten, he ever knows anything about us." She said,Camillia's face squeezed in anger. " What? You mean, he told you, he has forgotten about us?" She asked, looking stunned."Yes Mom, he told me, that if I had not called him yesterda
Elmo looked at the man that looked resolute in piercing the sharp object deep into him, but before he could do a thing. A flashlike wind passed Elmo and before he knew it, the man was already on the ground. It took Elmo a whole good minute to figure out what just happened, it was just like a miracle that he was left untouched, while the man holding the sharp object was on the floor."Young master, we're sorry for not coming on time." A voice said and Elmo raised his head from the man on the floor to look at who just spoke."You.." Elmo said, as he quickly recognized the man, as one of his men."Yes, I was the one who took him down." The hefty man on black said with his head a little bowed." Em." Elmo nodded his head, before returning his face back to a cold gaze. His appearance right now was omitting anger as he spoke. "Let them go." The bodyguard thought he heard wrongly so he asked again." Sir, what did you say?" Even though he knew it was wrong to question Elmo, he still couldn'
She cleared her throat, before speaking. "Mr. Henry, do you recall that unfortunate man who was involved with Kiara previously?" She paused to await a response. She needed to verify whether or not Mr. Henry would exhibit any indication of anger towards Kiara for mentioning the Elmo matter. If he did, then she would refrain from further comment. "Em." Mr Henry nodded without being angry, which made Camillia sighed softly, before continuing, Her voice, previously composed, abruptly transformed into a furious tone as she brought the subject of Elmo. "Can you fathom the audacity of that worthless and deranged individual? He not only harassed and belittled Kiara but also displayed an arrogant disregard for his own impoverished state. Would you like to know precisely what transpired, causing your beloved Kiara such distress?" She asked. " Yes, what did that poor did that did made Kiara so worried on the phone?" He raised his head and turned to look at Kiara, who was seated at the extreme
Stuart looked at Elmo with a bewildered expression. "How are you going to be able to make him pay? We have not been able to receive our profits due to the consistent and undeniable excuses from the Lux company so how will you make him pay just within a day?" "The information I asked you to get for me yesterday was quite useful, I was able to figure out some things and I also got to know what Mr Lucas plans has been all along." Elmo said, with his back relaxed on the office chair."Really? Is it something to worry about?" He needed to know if Mr Lucas' plan would affect the company as a whole."Rest assured. He won't be able to do anything, and I'll ensure that he begs us to accept our profits again." Elmo said, confidently."Go release the report that the Lux company owner, Mr Lucas, is trying to sell his company and leave the country without paying his workers a dime for all their hard work. Back up all the reports with this evidence." He passed a file to Stuart.Stuart reviewed the
A stinging blow landed on Mr. Lucas' face. It was damn painful, but he still managed to regain his composure, as he was well aware that his wife was just anxious and angry at what was happening."Lisa, please just stay calm. Everything would be resolved in no time," he said with the intention of still trying to comfort her.Hearing him say that almost made her laugh in anger. "What would be resolved in no time?" she yelled. "If you know everything would be resolved like you claimed, then why are you hiding here? I remember warning you not to make such a cunning plan that will put thousands of families in tears, but you didn't listen to me. Now can you see what your cunning ways have ended us into? The outside world is cursing and humiliating us, calling you an inhuman and heartless businessman who only cares about profit.Her voice was etched with frustration as she spoke. "Even if you resolve the issue at the end of the day, will our reputation still be intact?" She asked, with her g
Even though she didn't believe it, she still nodded. "Alright, Mom, we would be expecting you. Bye." She hung up, even though she knew her dad must be next to her Mom. She just didn't want to talk to him. After Jeslyn hung up, Lisa turned her face back to Lucas who was seated with a stressed expression on his face. Although she knew her husband was feeling stressed by all this chaos, she still didn't try speaking to him gently as she wasn't the one that asked him to be so selfish in the first place. "Lucas, we have to think of a way to settle this issue or better still look for a way that we will not get really affected by all this." Lucas gave an exasperated sigh as he ruffled his hair, looking stressed. He really just doesn't know how things ended up this way. "I really don't know how we can make ourselves not affected by all this." Lucas said, with his eyes etched with distress. " What do you mean? You sure must have a way to make us less affected by all this." This time, she
