Raymond's eyes nearly bulged out. That was meant to be a secret, yet it had gotten out so fast? Everyone was shocked, especially Ramon. He thought Larry was dead, but it seemed he was not.At that time, he wasn't paying attention to everything. He only heard a gunshot and then Larry was dead on the floor. He had thought he died. But how was Harrison able to know he was alive?Moreover, seeing how Raymond shuddered made everyone believe it was the truth.“But you were asking for resources to pursue who killed your son. We were about to give you fifty million dollars, all for a lie?” one of the men stood up from kneeling. He was fed up.Raymond called the meeting asking for a huge sum of money to take down a family who killed his son. Out of sympathy, they all agreed to give him that sum, but it was all for greed.“He is alive? I just got informed just now” Raymond stressed, trying to calm himself from the embarrassment.“How dare you? Do you know what this means? You wanted to use your
“Drive to the hotel, I need to pick up my wife. Now that everything has been settled we won't have another truck chasing after us” Harrison said.“You are quite interesting, young master. You are so full of surprises, and I am not sure if I have seen all of you. There seems more” Ramon couldn't hide how astonished he was.“I came from the street, Ramon. I know many things” Harrison smirked. The latter could only smile and leave the topic for another day.“And the truck driver? What do we do to him?” Ramon asked, and instantly Harrison frowned. He had wanted to use him to bring out the truth from Raymond, but in the end, he wasn't needed.“Where is he now?” He asked.“He is with my men in one of the vehicles running after us. You tell me what I should do with him and I will get it done” Ramon replied.“Beat him to a pulp and throw him in a cell. That should serve as a lesson for trying to take a life. Though no one died, I can't turn a blind eye to it” Harrison replied. He just wanted
Caroline felt nervous, seeing several eyes looking at her as though they were going to burn her up. The look of disgust was evident and she couldn't fail to see that. The way she was dressed wasn't as classy as everyone else, so she looked more like a cleaner to them.“Someone should tell me how a cleaner got into this place?” the receptionist mocked while looking at Caroline. She figured Caroline was Harrison's wife since she took her attendance but wanted to get back at him for the words he said.“Harrison” Caroline rushed towards her husband. Even though she felt embarrassed by what she was called, she seemed unaffected by it and wanted to just leave with her husband.“Did you just call my wife a cleaner?” Harrison frowned as he looked at the receptionist. Unable to hide the disgust, she leaned towards his face and yelled.“Yes, piece of trash. I won't even employ her as a cleaner even though she looked like one” she growled, but Harrison quickly clutched his nose, which made her c
“Excuse me, I am here to get a phone” Harrison sneered, feeling irritated.“A phone? Does this place look like a joke to you? What can you afford here?” the agent replied.“He can't even buy the trash can, yet he is saying nonsense?” the other agent spoke.“I am here to buy a phone. Is this how you attend to customers?” Harrison was stunned by their sudden disgust at him.They didn't try to understand if he could afford one or try to give him a chance. They just branded him as someone who couldn't afford a thing in the shop? “Where is the customer? Who I see here is a beggar. Isn't that dollar bill okay for you? How about two or three?” the man grinned, flashing off his teeth.“Send him out of this place. You shouldn't waste your money on someone like him. Don't worry, he will come begging. He looks like he hasn't eaten for days” the other said.“How much is your salary?” Harrison asked.“Ten thousand dollars. Isn't it quite big enough to sustain your life and give you a better livin
“Hello Ramon, I have something I want you to do,” Harrison said after typing the number on the new phone and dialing it. When it got across, Ramon recognized his voice quickly.“Young master, you changed your phone?” Ramon asked in surprise.“Yes, I was humiliated in the hotel. The guards broke it”.“You mean, in sterling hotel? Your hotel? They humiliated you?”“Yes, I want the receptionist and the guards fired immediately”“Yes young master, I will have it done immediately”Harrison smiled. That would serve as a perfect payback for what they had done. He wanted to go home but then he wanted to see the looks on their faces after they would be fired. After all, he was standing on the opposite side of the hotel, so he crossed back to wait for the drama that was going to happen.——-Inside sterling hotelThe receptionist kept a smile on her face as she attended to other high-class customers. She had forgotten about what had happened before. Everything went back to normal until when the
Ring! Ring!A call came in, disturbing Rachel who was furious. She rushed towards her phone only to see it was her mom who was addressed as the grandmother of the family. Seeing her call made Rachel tense. She instantly knew something must be wrong or something must have happened.Quickly she picked up the call.“Grandmother” she called out with a smile but the tone she heard over the phone made her serious.“Have you seen the news?” The woman asked, almost as though she was yelling.“The news? I haven’t watched TV for a while, Grandmother” Rachel replied. It wasn't clear to her why grandmother was saying such things at times like this. There are other issues to attend to rather than watching TV.“You fool, switch it on now. After you have seen what I am talking about, you call me” she yelled and hung up the phone. Rachel trembled. She feared she must have done something and that would mean she would incur grandmother's wrath. “What’s it? What happened?” Stephen, who was impatiently
——Harrison got out of the house with his wife wearing the same bargained clothes he always does. For the past few days, he never thought about buying clothes for himself. Rather, his wife was his priority. He had wanted to get her one from the mall he bought, but the call they received came too urgent. He had no choice but to go quickly with his wife, even though he wasn’t pleased with it.Caroline was quiet by the side. She said no words. Her head was full of the thought of why they were being called. Her stepmom never wanted her for any reason. The way Stephen spoke also alerted her that something might be wrong.Harrison hailed a cab and they got in. His wife's mood didn’t please him. He wanted to cheer her up but realizing they were going to that house, he couldn’t even bring himself to say anything.Shortly after, the cab stopped at the villa, and they hopped off. Harrison quickly handed him some dollars before they walked into the house.As soon as they entered, standing by the
Everyone was silent as Grandmother was on the phone. They knew her too well to create a disturbance when she was this serious. Her wrath always comes deadly and would affect the family's wages too greatly.“Grandmother,” Rachel said.“Switch on your laptop, it’s connected to mine. I can’t come over but will address the matter in a live video call” she said while Rachel quickly rushed towards her laptop and brought it down to the living room. She placed it on the table after opening it for everyone to see.The screen popped up and a woman in her late sixties came into view. Though she was old, her skin was still glistening like a teenager. She had a solemn look on her face, and immediately everyone bowed to greet her.“Good morning Grandmother” Everyone greeted, setting aside the hate they had towards Harrison.“Where is Linda? Why can’t I see her here” Grandmother scouted the place with her eyes but wasn’t able to find one person. She had requested for everyone to be here, yet one per
