Stacy looked at Noah with concern, seeing the venom and hatred in the eyes of her manager.

She was about to ask Noah politely, but before she could utter a single word, the manager started to speak again.

“Stacy! What are you still doing, dear? I told you, he is a beggar who doesn't even deserve to set foot in our premises! He can't even afford the cost of the cleaning of the piece of ground he is walking on, right now, so what are you waiting for? Call the security, ask them to throw this man out of the premises right now.”

“Sir …Security?”

Stacy asked in a shaking tone, as she never had to call the security to throw someone out of here.

It was really a very high end restaurant, and no one whose pocket didn't allow them to dine here, had ever dared to set foot here.

Also, the restaurant was run on the basis of previous reservations, and only a person who had paid the amount of reservation was allowed inside the premises.

This is the reason that earlier, she was trying to explain to N

    Bailey heard Richard's words, and before Eliana could have said anything to his proposal, she replied to him excitedly. “Yes! You are right she doesn't need monetary help right now, but I am telling you! I have tried to explain this to her as well, that before using the money that her husband has given to her, she should at least cross check about where it has come from and how he has gotten his grubby hands on it.Because I highly doubt that someone is ready to give this much amount to their new employee as a loan, even though they have saved their life! If they would have to spend millions for being treated by a fake village healer, wouldn't they prefer to hire a team of well qualified doctors to be around them at all times? Instead of wasting this amount on a loser, who doesn't know anything about the corporate world!”“I can totally agree with your observations, miss-”“Bailey! I am Bailey! Nice to meet you!”Bailey introduced herself with a tipsy smile and slightly slurring word

    The sound of Stuart’s voice altered both Stacy and the manager, making them jump in their respective places. They had already been notified about his arrival at the Bellagio Diner for the lunch appointment with Mr. Jenson, and on seeing that he had already arrived there, while they were already in the middle of a crisis, created a panic in Manager Tudor’s heart.And under the effect of this rising panic, he couldn't even understand what he was supposed to do right now; because he wasn't ready to take the blame on his name yet.So while just a few minutes ago, he was trying to assure Stacy that he was going to teach her everything step by step because she was new here– and not to mention, really innocent too– another new idea appeared in his mind.Before this crisis, he was trying to present himself as a great friend and mentor to her, apart from being her senior. But now, he thought it would be a brilliant way for him to escape, if he simply put all the blame on her head and managed

    “Wow! You are really a great man, I can't explain how decent you are… and how impressed I am by your thoughts.”Bailey spoke up the moment Richard paused whatever he was saying; and started to stare at Eliana shamelessly. But as soon as he heard Bailey's compliment, he turned his gaze towards her.“Thank you so much! I am really glad that at least there is someone who understands my concern, and is ready to see why I am doing this.”“Of course, I understand everything you are trying to do. But I am still curious about what the second thing is, that's supposedly holding you back?”Bailey asked, as soon as Richard stopped running his mouth. Eliana closed her eyes and sighed in frustration; what was the need for Bailey to ask such meaningless questions again, when Richard had finally stopped talking?But it was too late for her to do anything, and Richard happily launched into the second phase of his monologue. “Oh, yes! Thanks for reminding me. The second thing is that I really don't

    Till now, Noah was trying to hide his smile, while witnessing exactly how this manager was trying to dig his own grave.However, he hadn't thought that he would be so eager to jump into it, that he would be ready to hammer the last nail into his own coffin, so soon.That was why he was standing there, completely relaxed beside Stuart; he has never imagined that Tudor was going to do anything so stupid, like grabbing him by the collar in front of Stuart.No matter what, it would be in his interest to maintain the image of a perfect and hospitable manager of the restaurant, in front of Stuart.But Tudor's anger haf broken all the dams of sophistication that he had built around him in his defense, and only left him as the real jerk which he was… exposed to the world now. But Noah was still lost in his thoughts; he might have handled the situation otherwise.The moment he lunged towards him and grabbed his collar, he noticed Stuart's eyes getting red with anger and his nostrils flaring

    “Wow! Do you really have so much faith in me, that you think I am capable of hypnotizing someone?” Noah laughed as he asked the question while looking at Tudor, who was still fuming with rage. There was no way he was going to believe that a beggar from nowhere was going to anyone's guest; then him being someone's VVIP guest was something that he could never comprehend in this lifetime, or the next three ones, combined. But before he could have understood this question from Noah and replied to it, Stuart roared out. “Really, so is this the way you have been treating the guests of this restaurant? If this is how you talk to a VVIP guest of mine, in my presence, then I can imagine how you must be treating the regular people who come here! Just because no one from my group has been visiting here for inspection, does it mean that the person in charge of it shouldn't be doing their job, either?” He didn't even wait for a reply after he asked his question, and just pulled his phone out

    Noah gave a weak smile to Tudor, who was looking constantly towards Stuart, like he was expecting him to have mercy on him any second now. Noah's smile was meant to be a reassurance towards Tudor, that he didn't need to get so worked up because Noah wasn't going to get him fired for what he had done today; just because he had treated him badly because of his prejudice. But because of the image of him that Tudor had built up in his head, he had gotten used to seeing him as the villain who was out to get him and destroy his life. And according to his belief, Tudor assumed that this smile was also meant to mock him. Just when Noah opened his mouth to say something in reply to Stuart's question, Tudor snatched the opportunity by yelling;“Mr. Langdon! Please don't listen to him, please I beg you sir! He is looking for a chance to take his older grudges out on me… please don't listen to this hypocrite! Please have mercy on me Sir, I have a family to feed and I don't have any other job,

    Till now, Eliana was trying to tolerate Richard and his leery gaze, only because of two things.First of all, he was her uncle's friend and she had been taught to respect the elders, no matter how rude and ill- mannered they were. Although she has learned how to take a stand for herself now, the habits that have been cultivated over years don't just disappear within a matter of days. And secondly, her dearest dumb best friend had accepted his offer to stay and drink, and not left any option open for her!But now, she had noticed something else: even though he was talking a big game about them being completely safe and preaching that they should feel comfortable around him, he was not ready to quit his flirtatious gestures.Eliana felt a flash of anger and decided that it was high time that she called him out and left the place.She was already feeling guilty for having lied to Noah and breaching his trust, by coming out for lunch at the Bellagio after telling him that she had to work

    If it had been anyone apart from Noah, Manager Tudor would have been at their feet by now, clutching their knees and desperately begging to be saved.But, simply because it was Noah who was speaking, he was still getting skeptical about the reality. He was under the impression that there was some kind of prank going on, which he was becoming the target of. It is often said that a dog's tail can never be straightened, no matter how many times one tries. And Tudor could be the perfect example for this idiom.But the moment he heard Noah requesting Stuart about moving him to another position within the same restaurant where he was currently working as manager, the pot of his frustration boiled over. He barked out, his voice carrying an edge. “What do you think of yourself? Just because you have somehow managed to manipulate Mr. Langdon to become his VVIP guest, it doesn't mean that you will start barking orders as soon as you have set foot here! So what, if you are about to buy this

    Noah was sitting in the garden, trying desperately to calm himself as he had been feeling a little uneasy because of the way things had unfolded.He had spent most of his life away from home, this is why, he knew the value of family. He had also met several people who were dark to the very core, but for some reason, he thought that Liam was different…Noah had a feeling that everything he had been doing so far, was just because something that he thought would always remain his, had been snatched from him in the middle of all the succession drama… and especially because of Noah himself.So it was a logical thing that he hated him from the core of his heart… but he had also seen his affection towards their grandpa. He was lost in his thoughts, staring off into the distance… when he noticed some disturbance near the ivy vines, lurking by the southernmost boundary of the garden.He rose from his seat and started walking towards the boundary; and Ben snapped to attention.He had been stan

    “Killed him? Dad!! You are saying you killed him… wasn't his death an accident? Then how is it possible that you are the reason behind–”Liam didn't even realize that he had started to interrogate his father under the effect of his anxiety on hearing the last words spoken by him.Till now, he had been thinking that they were standing on the right side of the situation as well as the history that was yet to be written. He really believed that they were the oppressed ones who had always been discriminated against, trying to fight for their rights which had unjustly been snatched from them.But after hearing his father's nonchalant response, he wasn't able to think straight anymore. He was ready to go to any extent to get what really belonged to him, but killing someone was something he could never imagine doing… nor was he able to digest the fact that his father was a murderer.But before he could have completed his statement, Otis interrupted his rambling. “Yes!

    Sabreena hesitated in the doorway, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she clutched a large bouquet of white lilies. She took a deep breath before stepping into the living room, her eyes darting around nervously and scanning the faces: her brother was looking at her with confusion, while Olivia’s gaze was sharp, Eliana’s gently curious, and Noah was stoic and calm; although his calm demeanor wasn't exactly helpful in taming her anxiety.Finally, with a forced smile, she spoke up. “Oh, come on, Olivia…” She started awkwardly, the bouquet trembling slightly in her hands. “How long are you going to hold on to some… some small incident from ages ago? Why would I insult him? I… actually, I have come to thank No- I mean, Mr. Kingsley.”Eliana shot her mother an amused glance, while Noah remained silent, his face unreadable as Sabreena took a few steps forward, extending the bouquet of lilies towards him.

    Liam threw down the glass vase which was placed on the side table in his room, sending it crashing to the floor, as soon as he noticed his parents trying to enter his room once again.It had been four days since his return- or to be honest, the rather rude way in which he had been thrown out, not just from the party but from the city itself. The security had unceremoniously dumped them on the first flight back to Edinburgh, without caring which class tickets were available. And apart from declaring in front of his parents that he had failed miserably, he hadn't given any specific details to his parents. Instead, he had locked himself in his room, boycotting everything: from eating properly to speaking to his parents.In fact, since last night, he had not even touched the food, even for once… and this was making both Otis and Viola more and more tense with every passing second.Even though they were aware that the deal had slipped out of Liam's hands, they were still trying to keep th

    “What? Richard Jensen was there too?!” Eliana’s voice burst out in surprise from Noah's phone speaker, her lovely face filling the screen of their video call as she heard the entire story from his mouth. She leaned closer, her eyes wide with disbelief, while Noah glanced into the screen as he replied while preparing to go to bed. “Oh yeah! And he had plenty to say against me at first, calling me a scammer and whatnot. But as soon as Grandpa Omar and Norm showed up, he went quiet and practically disappeared into the crowd, fearing for his own safety.”Eliana burst into laughter, covering her mouth. “After what happened last time, I can’t believe he had the nerve to show up and then also splash mud on you! I mean, did he get the guts?”Noah chuckled. “Apparently, he bribed the event organizers for an invitation. And I guess he was really feeling frustrated after our last meeting, and thinking that he had nothing more to lose now, just vented out all his anger. His little scam was

    “I understand, Grandpa Omar, that you’re not much of a drinker.”Noah continued with a steady voice, meeting some raised eyebrows from the people gathered around there. He continued, knowing that his words were surely having some effect, since Norm and Omar were looking at him with curiosity now, instead of suspicion. “I am also aware that you, Grandfather Norm and my grandfather have planned to visit Edencrest Estate together after the signing of the deal, and finally share the bottle of wine purchased so long ago. That is why I have ensured that the other bottle has safely been delivered at your residence, as the homage to that promise.”He glanced at the broken necklace on the floor, and everyone else's eyes followed; to the place where Sienna had thrown it after snapping the string and causing the pearls to scatter in all directions. “And I apologize for the condition of the necklace. It was a vintage heirloom, and though it was meant to be my gift to Eleanor, I shall make sure

    Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Noah blinked before responding. “Of course,” he said smoothly. “I am happy to answer any questions you might have to help you see that I’m speaking the truth.”Blaine folded his arms, looking Noah up and down, an expression of irritation on his face. Clearly, he thought it was nothing more than a waste of his time to entertain him, but he had no other choice. “Fine! Then show me what you have brought as a gift for my niece. If you are truly the heir of the Kingsleys, you would know better than to show up empty handed, wouldn’t you?”Noah inclined his head, unbothered by Blaine’s mocking tone. “Certainly, uncle. I’ll show you the gifts I have brought.” Turning slightly, he motioned to one of his guards, who stepped forward, handing him a wine bottle wrapped in elegant packaging. Noah held it, his fingers lightly wrapping around the bottle— the vintage wine he had personally unearthed that morning.He extended the bottle toward Blaine. “This

    Sienna’s eyes narrowed with suspicion as she looked at the scene in front of her. Just this morning, this idiot Noah had been roaming around the city, trying to get access into a high- end bank.And now, he was supposedly surrounded by an army of guards? Something was really fishy…Just then, her eyes landed on the man at the front of the group, and recognition flashed in her eyes. She clenched her fists, it was him! The same gullible bodyguard from the bank earlier that morning; the one whom she had already fed lots of half- truths and mostly lies about Noah, painting him as a dangerous criminal.She had tried to make sure that he wouldn't slip away by any means, but he had. And now she knows how! Feeling a pang of betrayal and anger, she couldn't hold herself back from commenting;“Oh! I see, he has managed to fool you all too! And now you’re siding with him?” Her laugh was bitter, remembering the way this guard had promised her that he would call the police on Noah and that the

    At the time when Noah had entered the venue, hardly anyone had noticed him in the middle of VIP guests, each more prestigious than the last.As long as he had an invite and the security had allowed him in, only a fool would waste their time questioning a nobody instead of making the most of this opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the most important people in the world. However, as Liam and Sienna started to mock and humiliate Noah out loud in the open, a crowd slowly started to form around them.The guests started to point him out specifically, murmuring about the possibility of him being a con man and still dodging the security arrangements at this venue.Meanwhile, Noah was standing at his place, completely unfazed by their speculations and instead maintained his calm with a smile that didn't even budge for a single moment.“And do you mind telling me, when will she become your wife? Because as far as I know, my sister in law was already married to someone else. So I'm assum
