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
Although they both already agreed to go meet the CEO, they were still faced with a big dilemma and that's how they will leave the house. Those workers were still outside shouting and they don't look like one who is planning to even leave.Lucas gave an exasperated sigh as he leaned his shoulders on the couch looking frustrated. "How are we going to leave this mansion?""I don't know either." Lisa replied, looking exhausted and tired. It was apparently evident that they were both looking lost, including the two children, who looked as though they wanted to sleep."If we can't leave here, we won't be able to meet the CEO, talk less of saving ourselves." Lucas reminded her."Yes yes, I know that's why we need to figure out a way to get out of here."Lucas stood up and peeped through a hole to check those outside again. He could notice from their looks that they have no intention of leaving without seeing him. After peeping for a while, he returned back to his seat, with a stressed look.
Lucas felt completely stressed and embarrassed looking at his wife's shameless attitude. It annoys him, even more seeing the disdainful look from everyone."Lisa, just stop this." He dragged Lisa away from the security guard, with a frustrated and annoyed gaze.Lisa glared hard at Lucas for stopping her from teaching the guard a lesson. "What's it? Why did you stop me from dealing with this wrecked and disrespectful guard?" She shouted with her vein popping in anger. In all her life of living as Lucas' wife, she has never for once been disrespected but now, one worthless idiot dared to do that. Her ego would only be satisfied if she teaches him a lesson.Those watching the scene, stood looking at the couple with different expressions, some held a ridiculed gaze while others gave an annoyed gaze. They wondered what Mr Lucas was doing at the QX company, instead of thinking of how to restore his reputation. Their ridiculous gazes were even more intense seeing how Lisa was opening making
Their gaze at that particular direction was brimming with astonishment, as they fixed their eyes on the extravagant car that was parked just a short distance away from them. They all yearned to catch a glimpse of the individual who possessed such a magnificent car. Everyone: "..." *He or she must be very wealthy* they all thought inwardly as they waited for whoever was in the car to step out. They watched as a man stepped his foot down, and at last, he lifted his head for them to behold. They all held their breath as the aura emanating from the man was overpowering, and his piercing stares felt as if they were peering into the depths of their souls. Curiously, the mesmerized onlookers felt that he wasn't gazing at them; rather, his gaze was fixed in another direction, prompting them to follow his line of sight and deduce that it was focused on Stuart. They pondered over how the man was acquainted with Stuart. "Young… young master." Stuart greeted Elmo. He was also a bit uneasy as he
