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

    After Stacy left with the team of managers who were there to take charge of the restaurant, Tudor turned towards Noah and spoke in an arrogant tone.“I think I have already told you, that I am going to consider your offer only after you give me a full and formal apology along with a fifty percent pay raise–”“Oh! Really, and what do you think I should apologize to you for?”Noah interrupted him. So far, he just assumed the manager to be a complete idiot, but now, he also really wanted to hear what Tudor was thinking.After all, an idiot who had such a weird mind was also making Noah curious by this point. “For everything! For every single thing that has gone wrong till now. After all, it is your fault that you ever thought about stepping foot into this restaurant, when you don't really have the kind of wealth for the level of clients that we serve here–”“So you are still saying that you don't have any respect for a human in your eyes, until they have gathered enough money in their a

    “Legal cases? I don't have any legal cases, which… which legal cases are we talking about?”Tudor asked with a shaking voice, as the feeling of dread returned to his chest once again, at the place which had become its usual spot by now.Because finally, he was beginning to realize the truth that everyone else already knew: if whatever Noah had said would come true, his career was really going to end right there and then.Whether anyone else knew it or not, Tudor himself was aware that he had done so many things which could cause him to land behind bars for a very good time, if a police inquiry really opened up against him. Even the cases of fraud and bribery which he had buried long ago would be dug up, pulling him down to hell. And this was the time when he realized that no matter what he was going to do to save himself or win this baseless battle, it wasn't going to prove successful. In fact, this whole mess had started only because he was trying to make Noah feel inferior for the

    Tudor's face became completely pale, as he remembered the other blunder, which he had completely forgotten about, by now.He remembered about Richard and his conversation about spiking the drinks, as he wanted to spend some quality time with Eliana Frost. Tudor had tried to explain to him that he wouldn't be able to do that, since it would directly reflect on the restaurant and they could be caught. But Richard had assured him that he would be bringing the required stuff by himself and making sure about the secrecy on his own… all Tudor had to do was to arrange a waiter.Still, Tudor had tried to convince him till the last moment, and probably had been successful in that, too.While Tudor himself was not a very good person, he hadn't done anything to anyone, without their consent. However, he wasn't sure about Richard for the same.At the end, he had left the matter on its own, by consoling his mind that he had tried his best to convince Richard and make him understand about how and

    It took a minute for Richard to come out of his confusion, as he laughed out loud at this question.“Wow, I didn't know you were that optimistic! Listen, do you really think I care about knowing who you really are? I don't care even if you have joined some small firm as their CEO, because to me, you will always be the same old beggar… a worthless and shameless husband, who is surviving on his wife's money.”The smile completely disappeared from his face and a look of disgust replaced it, while Richard continued;“So it would be better if you leave on your own, before I call the security. Because unlike the Frost family, I really have a very low tolerance for parasites like you. I do believe in charity, but only for those who deserve it, not someone like you, who is ungrateful and doesn't know how to repay their creditor. Therefore, consider it your last warning and leave.”Richard roared at the end, to place emphasis on his words, thinking that it would be enough to scare Noah.This w

    “Are you out of your senses? Who told you that Tudor isn't the manager of this restaurant anymore?”Richard barked again; this whole situation was making him more and more angry with every passing minute. He had come here, hoping for something else; and what had happened was the opposite of his expectations!Meanwhile, Noah replied calmly to his question, without showing that Richard's words were having any effect at all. “Nobody… in fact I was the one to tell him this.”“You…you! Who the hell do you think yourself to be? You lowly insect of the dirty gutter! Have you lost all your senses, or do you want me to call the police to knock a few brain cells into you with their batons? Or will you just leave these premises calmly, rather than getting thrown out by the security–”“Richard Jenson! Do you really have a weak mind or memory? Or do you just act like you don't have one at all?”Noah interrupted Richard with a question about his anatomy, making him more confused and frustrated tha

    At last, Noah and Stuart managed to get both Eliana and Bailey into the SUV. The women were swaying on their feet, their unexplainable laughter and mood swings, as well as their slurred words making it clear that the alcohol had hit them hard. Noah placed both his hands on his waist, his gaze shifting between the two women who were now sprawled on the back seat while resting their heads against each other. “Uncle Stuart,” Noah began, his voice firm but tinged with worry. “You should sit in the front with the driver. I’ll sit with Eliana in the back, just in case her health gets upset during the ride.”Stuart nodded absentmindedly, as his mind was preoccupied with an entirely concern. Ever since he had heard about Jensen's intentions about spiking the drinks, a cold fear had settled in his gut. But the thought of mentioning it in front of Noah, who was already stressed, made him hesitate. Could he even bring it up? He wasn't sure what to do, but he knew they needed to get the wome

    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. Olivia crossed her arms and cut in sharply, “Well, I can’t exactly let it go

    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

    Ch-197. Where is the invitation

    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
