Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 141
Sweat dripped down her forehead as Fallon tossed aggressively and turned on her bed with her eyes closed, digging her hands into the sheet, as her grip tightened on the blankets.The sound of her father’s angry cries haunted her dream as she struggled to wake up, but her eyelids felt heavy like lead in their sockets, tears rolling from the corners of her eyes, and onto her pillowDad, The voice of her childhood self was faint, just a whisper, yet it still echoed throughout her mind‘Honey, let father grieve alone. Grandfather has been taking from us…so give him space.’ Her mother’s words were soft, and her body slowly relaxed on the bed. ‘He’s hurt… really sad like you and me, so let him be. For now.“I will miss Grandpa,” Fallon whispered in her sleep the exact words from the voice of her young self that crossed her mind and then her eyelids opened.Her vision was blurred for a moment, but she blinked slowly and saw her room bathed in sunlightThe sound of her breath caught in her th
Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 142
Shoving his hand into the sleeve of his coat, Gary adjusted his cold embroidered black sit blazer over his broad chest, deep into his thoughts, his fingers traced down the edge of the button and pushed it through the hole. For a few minutes, he stared at his reflection, the black lapel suit, shirt, and silk tie giving him an elegant aura, and then he mumbled, “Let’s do this.”The balcony was filled with tense energy surrounding it as Tom waited for Gary and Fallon along with Ryan, and James.“Keep an eye on. Please.” James finally broke the silence, eyeing Tom.Looking back at James with a humble slight nod, he said, “You need not bother, I will do just that."Then silence took over as the sound of footsteps approached them, and everyone tensed immediately as Gary walked into the balcony.For a moment, he stared at Tom's black dress shirt with cold lapel pin, and then the sound of heels slowly shifted his attention.When Gary turned around, his gaze rested softly on Fallon In a lon

Realising how Alora's grip on Fallon’s hand was not causing her any pain, Gary held back his desire to interfere, with the feeling that the situation wasn’t that threatening.“There is more to tonight, so I am hoping that you can stay a bit longer,” Alora said calmly, her hand loosening its grip against Fallon’s wrist, allowing Fallon to pull her hand away as she lowered her head slightly to avoid anyone noticing how uncomfortable she was. A frown settled on Gary’s face because he could tell from Alora’s words that she had something up her sleeve, her tone and expression had him suspicious of what exactly she meant.“But,” Fallon whispered, darting her gaze to meet Gary’s eyes, feeling hesitant to agree.Trust wasn’t something she wanted to give to Alora and her family, knowing too well the danger of doing so since Alora had always been crafty and manipulative with whatever she did, and she had never hesitated to use whatever means available to her.She therefore thought to herself t

A drop tear slowly rolled from Fallon’s right eye and into the corner of her mouth when the memory of her father’s devastating expression when Mr Bright denied his request surfaced in her mind, causing her to swallow her tears not wanting to cry in front of all these people.Noticing, her pain, Gary held in his desire to comfort her as he knew the last thing Fallon needed right now was to feel vulnerable before strangers, and if he pushed her right now, her fragile mental state would most likely shatterSo he shoved both hands into his pockets, watching the scene unfold with interest as he wondered what Alora had planned next.Within a couple of minutes of silent observation, he had learned way more about the Larsons than his years of marriage with Sandra had given him. The people that were involved with them, memorizing the quest’s faces with each dart his eyes around the room.Since he was about to enter the business world and his mission for vengeance, he needed to know who to tru

The hall was in total silence after what Fallon had said, and everyone was still staring at her, some with looks of disdain and others with expressions that showed their disbelief. “Where the hell did she get such confidence.”Sighing, Alora shook her head slowly and said, sounding disappointed, “Mr Bright, give her the document.”“Yes… I will get it from my car now.” Mr Bright hastily replied, looking slightly nervous, and Gary caught onto it quickly, smirking faintly at the sight of his shaky gaze.Something was off about him, and Gary could sense it, and his gaze followed Bright as he walked off, holding back his desire to follow the lawyer and question him.“Do you think I will lie on my late husband’s name, especially on the day he passed… Am I that of a monster to you, Fallon…” Alora cried, tears streaming down her face, as she placed a hand on her mouth in grief, drawing Gary’s attention back to her, and his expression hardened.With not a single care in her eyes and a numb exp

The hall was quiet until Sandra suddenly burst into a chuckle that vibrated throughout the ballroom and caused quite a few people to frown in annoyance at the sound of such amusement coming out of Sandra The other guests glanced at her with confused expressions, not being able to understand what the problem was.The laughter finally died down, as Sandra wiped the corners of her eyes from cracking up, and said in a soft tone, “Fallon, I’m sorry if my reaction upset you, but why do you look so horrified like Grandmother is not doing you a big favour… Is it that you don’t want to settle down because of my ex-husband, huh, my dear cousin?”‘What is this troublesome child doing now… Alora thought as she raised a brow in despair.“Your daughter is going to go against Mother’s wish for tonight. Why haven’t you taught her some sense!” Kyle lashed out at Claire in a low tone.And a look of worry crossed Claire’s features as she watched her daughter walk over to where Gary and Fallon were. Havi

"Mr Bright, please hand the will over to Fallon, so she can take it along and constantly make reference to it.Immediately, he gave it to Fallon, she took a final glance at it, her gaze still on the particular part where the will had a requirement.Nevertheless, she collected the will, turned to Gary and said. "Let's leave now."As Fallon and Gary sat in the backseat of the vehicle with Tom behind the steering wheel, the atmosphere was awkward as the two tried not to look at each other.Even Tom was concerned about how quiet they both were and glanced in the rearview mirror, noticing that Fallon‘s lips were puckered together as if she was deep in thought.With his gaze on the windshield, Gary‘s index finger slowly rubbed against his bottom lips, and then finally darted his eyes towards Fallon.“A penny for your thoughts,” He quietly remarked, his voice low. With her eyes fixed on the file of her grandfather‘s will, Fallon hesitated for a while before deciding to open her mouth and sp

The moment Mrs Gilbert stood in front of her daughter‘s room door, she lifted her knuckles to place a knock but then hesitated before grabbing the doorknob and pushing the door open.Quietly, she stepped into the bedroom to see Fallon in bed, sleeping soundly, hugging a pillow. A smile graced her lips, and she stared tenderly at her daughter, and after a moment of that, she was about to leave when a file on Fallon‘s desk got her attention.A feeling of hesitation filled her as she approached the desk, and as her hand hovered over the folder, she took a deep breath.Finally, Mrs Gilbert pushed aside her fear of invading Peace‘s privacy, picked up the file, opened it, and read the contents.Her heart skipped a beat when she got done, and she hastily rushed over to her daughter‘s bedside and tapped her gently on the back. “Fallon, wake up.” Mrs Gilbert‘s voice echoed in Fallon‘s ears softly.Her eyes blinked open slowly as she looked at her mother standing above her, watching her with a

CHAPTER 174
The door to the lobby finally opened, and Mr. Bamford walked in with twelve police officers following closely behind him.Silence completely took over the lobby of the building and only the sound of their boots could be heard hitting the tiles as they walked over to where Gary was.The tears in Fallon’s eyes immediately stopped, and a sense of confusion flooded every part of her mind as her eyes followed the officers until they stood in front of her husband and the other five officers."Chief! What are you doing here?” One of the five officers asked with worry evident in his voice. The other four looked just as confused as him, and fear started creeping its way on their faces after the chief didn’t reply immediately.Meeting Gary’s eyes and his bloodstained nose, Mr. Bamford frowned, dragging his gaze down to Gary’s hands locked behind his back, and said, “Uncuff him now!”The firmness in his tone caused Fallon’s eyes to widen with a shocked expression, she opened her mouth, but no wo

The anger that ate at Gary slowly faded, and he looked back to see his wife staring calmly at him, and yet, he couldn‘t stop caring for what she was thinking at that moment about him.Sighing, Gary looked back at Kyle and scoffed, letting go of his collar, causing his back to hit the tile, and a cry escaped his throat.Kyle lay on the floor, holding his chest, crying and moaning, shaking his head as he tried desperately to hold in his sobbing, the room became so quiet that the sound of a pin drop could‘ve been heard.Everyone was shocked by what was happening in the lobby, and Ciara‘s hands were trembling as she tried to remember the police number, her mind a mess.“Ciara! Have you called the police yet?!” Kyle cried in rage as the pain from his face intensified because of the volume of his voice, and he moaned out, “Ciara!”“Yes sir, I‘m sorry sir, um, I need help here...” Ciara stammered with a shaky tone.“What help?”“Umm… What‘s the police number?”“What the hell, Ciara!!”His sw

As the security guards approached Gary and the others, Tom calmly took out a file from his briefcase and looked back at Kyle and the investors.“Well, I am a lawyer with a couple of degrees, including Doctor of Juridical Science degree, and this is a valid will that both Mr. Larsons and the law enforcement officials‘ signatures are on, which proves everything that Fallon has told you guys, that this company is now under her management,” Tom explained calmly, taking out the document and showing it to the investors.“I have worked with Morgan before, and that is definitely his signature on this paper. He‘s a man of honor, and so am I,” Mr. Walker immediately stated, glaring at Kyle.The security reached the scene but immediately stopped out of confusion, seeing that no one was attacking Kyle and just stood there looking at each other.“It could be a fraud! Who knows...” Kyle answered, shrugging nonchalantly.“But we do know. You just blurted out that you thought the will got destroyed a

Gazing intensely into the bathroom mirror, Gary reached for his toothbrush but then paused as a memory of Lawyers Morgans‘ words kept replaying in his head, the looks on his face when he said those words, and the way his body reacted a bit nervously to question about the will.Immediately, he grabbed his phone off the sink and scrolled for Tom‘s number until he got to it, dialing it.After ringing his number, the call got answered and Tom‘s voice popped up through the speaker, “Good morning, Boss...”“I need us to discuss something important later on today," Gary said as he watched the bathroom door reflection in the mirror slowly pushed open, and Fallon popped her head inside. Thankfully, he was tying a towel around his waist.“I'll be on my way then."“Good, we will wait on you guys before we leave, so be here by nine.”Wondering who her he was talking to so seriously at seven in the morning, Fallon reached her hands around his waist and kissed his bare back, resting her head flat a

A look of fear entered Morgan’ eyes, his expression twisting with anxiety, terror, and helplessness as he and Gary continued to stare at each other. “Which will?” Mr. Morgan finally questioned. “The will that Mr. Larson left Fallon,” Gary stated plainly, averting his gaze to stare straight into the old man’s eyes, daring him to try and lie.“Whi-cho-ne…?” Mr. Morgan murmured, barely audible for anyone to hear.Then he saw Gary’s brows furrowing, and he knew that he was getting impatient as his eyes narrowed, and he leaned forward slightly in his chair.“Don’t act like a dummy with me… speak louder.” Gary uttered in a stiff tone.Immediately, Morgan’ face turned pale, his body tensing, and then his eyes widened as he blurted out, “Oooh! Oh!! Do you mean the will Alora gave Fallon the night of Mr. Larson’s death anniversary party?!”“Is there another will for Fallon?” Gary asked as he raised his eyebrows.“No! No… no… I was just scared and my mind took its time to process everything.”

CHAPTER 169
The words that Gary said to Jeremy never left Fallon’s thoughts, even though the morning was now evening, and Gary was sleeping.Adjusting her head on his warm chest, Fallon looked at him, just staring, allowing her thoughts to run wild in her head, as she listened to his heart beating, feeling his chest rise and falling, listening to his breathing.‘What package were you talking about?’ Fallon wondered as she bit her lower lip, thinking furiously.All of a sudden, she heard his phone go off, causing Garyto shift slightly on the bed, hugging onto her waist tightly, and burying his face deeper into her neck “Gary, your phone,” Fallon whispered, feeling reluctant to wake him and yet, also wanting an answer.“Hmm…” He mumbled sleepily, his voice barely audible.“Your phone…,” Fallon repeated, her tone a lot louder than a few minutes ago as she tried again to shake him awake.Finally, Gary opened his eyes, blinking slowly for several seconds. After a few more seconds he seemed to register

Anger immediately started to rise inside of her as Fallon glared at Alora with a look of pure hatred, and without even realising it, she blurted. “Grandpa left that company for me, and you can’t just take what he gave to me away!” A faint chuckle escaped Alora’s throat as she gazed down at her granddaughter, before she replied. “Oh yes, I can… you know, I thought you were getting married to this… this human being because you want to own something in this family and be a part of us…” A pause followed her words as she watched Fallon’s eyes for a sign of fear and submission and when she saw a slight flicker of emotion in her step granddaughter’s eyes, she smiled, knowing that she managed to hit Fallon’s weak spot. “I will not tolerate the disrespect I am seeing from you, Fallon, and since that’s how you want to behave, I am taking this opportunity to let you know you aren’t fit to take over any of the family business. I don’t need an arrogant, selfish, and prideful woman who does not

CHAPTER 167
The dull morning light in her face with her body wrapped into Gary’s arms, Fallon just stared at him, his lashes, the details of his lips, unable to look away. Her hand rested on his cheek, and looked at his shut eyes, stroking his skin lightly as she felt her breathing become slow and steady. “I know it was just nonsense that she said, but I still can’t get her words out of my head…” Fallon whispered, leaning in closer until there were no more inches between them, their breaths mingling together. “What can’t you get out of your head?” Gary asked, his voice low and soothing as his eyelids slowly opened.Not expecting him to even be awake, Fallon froze, trying desperately to think of something, anything because she didn’t want to tell him about the conversation between Sandra and her.“Nothing,” Fallon quickly replied, pulling her face back, feeling a heat rise to her cheeks. “It’s nothing. You should go back to sleep. Yesterday was hectic, and my crying kept you up late.” “Fallon,
