The next day, Ussy and Elias visited the Fullams villa. They came around to wish Kendra a happy birthday. “Happy birthday Kendra, many happy returns of the year!” Kendra was filled with joy, then she replied. “Thank you. It would be nice if we all went out to celebrate my birthday or what do you think?” “Y-Yeah! That's a nice idea. Let's all get ready.” Lois said happily. Lois loved hanging out and showing off. She knew with Elias present, they were going to spend a lot and have a nice time. “It would be nice if Rieka also came along. We should celebrate as one big family. It's an opportunity to rewind, relax, and feel good.” Elias spoke in this manner because he craved Rieka to become his wife and he saw it as an opportunity to have her attention. And this could only happen if Rieka attends the birthday hangout. Now, Lois understands beyond what Elias said. “Of course, she'll join us.” Lois giggled. Lois, Kendra, and Ussy rode with Elias in his car, while Rieka,
“Let's leave!” Rieka pulled Noah's arm and left with him walking side by side. “Was that necessary? Pouring the drink on him was too extreme.” “He also went to the extreme for speaking to you in that matter. I couldn't take it.” Noah shook his head. They were fond of downgrading and humiliating Rieka. Doing it in public and not even by a family member but a family friend was the height of it. Rieka sighed. She knew Noah was trying to protect her, but her family wouldn't let it go easily. “My daughter has fallen into the wrong hands,” Lois muttered as she watched them leave. She expected Rieka to stay back while they lambasted Noah but she took her leave with him. “They've succeeded in disrupting our happy moments. Why does Rieka have to do this always?” Kendra spoke. They poured all the blame on Rieka! Next, Elias spoke. “How about you get Rieka to divorce Noah? I am a member of Ariel's family and you know what that means. Do this and you'll be greatly rewarded.” With
A middle-aged man sat beside a woman dressed in a red outfit in a bar. That woman was Fiona Grichy. Never caught unfresh, she looked so attractive and charming. “I’m running out of patience. Justice has not been served over the death of Silas and my father. The culprit must be apprehended. Mr. Gil, the Grichy must gain their stand back in the billionaire world in Linton City.” Fiona said to the man. This man was a prominent lawyer, known far and near for his excellence in his job. Fiona was scared that the killers of her family members would return as he said. She was also trying her best to bring them out of bankruptcy. Gil crossed his legs over the other and said. “You have nothing to worry about! All hands are on deck to sort everything out with Brucy Kings so your family can get your assets back. To be honest, apprehending the culprit won't be as easy as it sounds.” Fiona pursed her lips as she looked at him. “If that's the case no problem. When our financial balance
Outside the Fullams villa. A small car stopped at the entrance. Next, the doorbell rang. Lois opened the door. Seeing who was at the door, she grew scared and greeted them calmly. “Good day. To what do we owe this surprise visit from the Grichys?” “Just decided to stop by! Fiona spoke. Then she smiled. “Won't you let us in?” Lois finally got her mind stable. “Pardon my manners! You are welcome and do have a seat.” “It's nice to see all of you again after a long time,” Fiona said. The Fullams gave a fake smile. They were not sure if the Grichys visit to their family had no strings attached. “We are here to apologize to Rieka for everything my family did to her. We deeply reject our actions.” Fiona said. “Huh?” “... Rieka?” Senior Grichy asked to confirm if he heard them right. “Yes, please permit us to see her.” Within a split second, Tom had called Rieka and they were all seated in the living room. “Why are you here?” Rieka asked anxiously. “My dear,
At the Fullams villa. “Why are you rejecting your food, Rieka? Noah is not worth all this!” “If you meant a lot to him, he wouldn't have left Cox you asked him to, without persuading you to let him stay.” The family spoke as they were having their breakfast. “Numerous wealthy and influential men are seeking your hand in marriage. Why settle for a pauper?” “It's enough! I need to prepare for work.” Rieka said then left to freshen up. While she dressed, Rieka knew for real she missed Noah's company. Yes, she asked him to leave but it's her presence for that moment and not her life completely. Noah always defended her but she ended up getting the backlash. She picked up her bag, looked at herself in the mirror, and sighed. “Could it be that he doesn't care about me? He was just pretending all along?” She thought as she headed to the office. She headed straight to her office. She didn't pay attention to all the greetings thrown at her instead all she did was smile. “Good m
“What's happening? I rushed over because you sounded tense on the phone. Elias also came along with Ussy Cox he thought something bad must had happened. “Elias, the car you bought for Rieka just arrived. You are awesome.” Kendra said after which she hugged Ussy. “You've just paved way for the opportunity to be a son-in-law of my family, Elias.” Elias was lost and didn't understand. 'A new car? He had been thinking about changing his car for the past six months, but he had not gotten enough money and he didn't want to take money from his family purse. How could Elias have gotten Rieka such an expensive car?’ Elias stared at Ussy and then smiled sheepishly. “It's just a small token to profess my love for Rieka.” “Small, you say?” This car is worth millions of dollars. I can't wait for you to be part of my family. Rieka would be so excited.” Senior Fullams said with excitement. “Relax! Today, we'll wine and dine together in the spirit of harmony and celebration.” Befor
While Elias enjoyed himself at the Fullams mansion, the police visited the house.“Hi, Mr Ariel.”“You are under arrest for stealing a car and claiming its ownership.”Earlier, Noah explained how the car gift turned out and requested that Andy deal with Elias immediately.You stole a car?Impossible!“The real owner laid a complaint and we tracked it to this point. Inquiries revealed that you claimed to have bought the car.” One of the officers spoke.Looking at Ussy and Kendra, he knew he had no choice but to confess now before he got into a bigger mess.“Sir, Elias is from a wealthy and well-behaved family. He can't steal!” Kendra defended him.She added, “I suggest you look into this investigation for more clarity.”Elias was sweating profusely.Andy knew Noah meant it when he said he'll regret ever taking the credit for what he knew nothing about.”“Everyone present in this mansion should be summoned here now.” The police officer yelled.Rieka and her parents couldn't go against t
Everyone stood still. An elderly man approached, holding his briefcase. The scent coming from his clothes was very pleasant to the nose. Mr. Aura recognized him immediately and greeted him with a bow. “G-Good morning sir! The guards also bowed. The man was inspector Franklin. The inspector queried further. “A beggar?” “And also a psychiatric patient?” “How did you all come to that conclusion?” Daniel spoke with annoyance. “Take a look at his dress! He looks wretched and unkempt.” Then someone whispered. “Mr. Noah Kendrick would be discouraged if he finally arrives for the meeting and sees this pandemonium.” At this time, Noah was shocked and wondered if he looked so terrible like a beggar or psychiatric patient. Or maybe he didn't look like the usual first-class citizens that frequent that area. The inspector glanced at Noah who was standing in the middle. His instinct told him he knew Noah but he could not tell where they'd met. “What is your name?” “What are your
