“You think you know me or you've seen me somewhere?” Edward asked, trying so hard to conceal his nervousness. After all, it wasn't like he was afraid of Harrison, it was just that he didn't want to get caught before implementing what he had in mind.Even though he had so much confidence in himself, it seemed he failed to figure out that Harrison wasn't just some dumb person he could toy with easily. He could tell as his heart was beating fast.“I don't know precisely where, but I think I've seen someone as structured as you,” Harrison said as though he was trying to solve a puzzle in his head.Sighing, Edward realized he could still divert the whole thing so he calmed down and put on a smile. “Ooh, you can't just recognize someone by body structure. Maybe we have met but I am not sure if we have. As you can see, even my bodyguard looks quite the same as me. I usually work out a lot so I can build up myself.” He explained.“Ooh, I see. So you want to invest in my wife's company?” Harri
“Sir, can I at least spend a few years here? I am not ready to retire yet.” Ramon said, even though Harrison looked firm with his words. All his life, he had dedicated it to work. He could as well call it a hobby. Retiring would just make him look jobless, and he hated that fact.“You'll kill yourself someday if you keep stressing yourself. At least you can stay in your office all through. I see no reason for you to stress yourself when Whitman is there to take care of most things.” Harrison taunted.“As long as I am serving you, I don't mind.” Ramon smiled as he walked in further and placed the document right in front of the table.Sighing, Harrison leaned forward and picked it up. He should have known Ramon would be so stubborn to accept his offer, but that doesn't mean he would still let him keep working. He already schemed up something in his head but refused to say it in the meantime.Scanning through the document, he found several names on it that he had heard of before. Some co
Caroline searched for whose voice it was for a while and was yet to see who was talking. Then from the other end of the crowd, a man having bald hair looking in his late forties started walking towards her. He had gray hair and wore a suit. As he approached her, his mustache twitched as he molded his mouth in annoyance. Caroline knew who he was, so instantly her expression turned sour.She knew exactly the kind of person he was and when she confronted him way back for a job he threw her out saying she didn't have all the requirements. Who could have thought she could be above him today?“I see you have grown from grass to grace.” The man said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.“Mr Patrick, it's nice to see you again.” Caroline ignored his mockery with a smile.“Why won't it be after you have snatched your family's company and now look filthy rich? I hope this is not fake.” He sneered, looking at her dead in the eyes with disgust written on his face.Hearing such, Lucas wanted to gi
Ring! Ring!Caroline's phone began to buzz, making her stuck on what situation she was supposed to attend to. Lucas looked like he would kill Patrick soon, and she had to stop him.The crowd had begun to let out a loud gasp in horror watching what was going on. The ones that had the intention of offering a helping hand were muted with their jaws dropping to the floor.How could a man cause so much damage just by himself, and they weren't able to do anything? It felt like a big insult yet none of them were ready to step out for fear of being a victim to such torture.“Apologize!” Lucas sneered again after thoroughly making sure he had dealt with Patrick enough and the latter looked like he couldn't breathe anymore.Lucas' hand was able to hold him up in the air, and he was left swinging and begging for air. Never had he thought anyone would humiliate him in front of other workers, and worst of it was that no one was coming to save him.He suspected that if he didn't beg, then maybe his
“Good.” Harrison smiled and pulled out his phone. He surfed through it and dialed a number, then leaned the phone to his ear.They all wanted to lean forward to see who he was calling, but that wasn't possible for them.“I need thirty good workers.” Harrison was plain over the phone before cutting the call and turning towards them. He said nothing afterward, and the situation turned into a staring contest.Caroline had questions as to why they were standing like that but decided to swallow back her words. After all, she knew Harrison had some plan so she could only wait to see how it would turn out to be.Vroom!Suddenly, a bus drove into the place and thirty people, both men and females, walked out and lined up behind Harrison. Ramon was also there, running towards Harrison and he bowed.“Young master, I have brought good workers. These are even fitted to work in the company but because there was no vacancy I left them pending. I think they can fit in.” Ramon explained.Harrison took
Meanwhile, back in Samson's villa “What are we going to do now? Mother is in the hospital, and we don't have money to foot the bills!” Rachel raged, pacing back and forth in the house. She was looking pale, like some kind of sickness was eating her up.Just a while ago, she was forced to do her laundry. All the workers left as there was no money to pay them. She was penniless, frustrated, and looking weak. Her hand hurt so bad as she moved around, hissing.“Mom shouldn't we go to Harrison and beg for his help?” Linda suggested as the situation was getting out of hand. Edward had promised her money but for a while now she hadn't heard a response from him and now poverty was killing her.She couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to grab any opportunity she could get. But then, it wasn't like she intended to change her intention.“Beg Harrison? Even if it will be my last day on earth, I'd rather die than beg him!” Rachel snarled with bloodshot eyes.“But…”“Enough. I am not going to do it
Rachel lost every bit of her strength, suspecting Harrison must be there to take revenge. How the secret got leaked was a mystery she was trying so hard to solve, but it wasn't working out.“Ooh yes, I knew. Caroline was never a member of this family, that was why all of you had shunned her and left her to suffer. Also, you let her marry me even though I had nothing.” Harrison pushed himself to the edge of the couch. “Would you give Linda to someone who doesn't have a penny?” He added.Rachel was hit by his words, but she also felt a way to counter him. There were so many weaknesses in his words, yet he was saying it all out.“So you have seen how worthless you are?” She smirked, finally regaining her courage.“What?” Harrison raised a brow at her before shaking his head. She was too dumb to realize the point he was trying to make here.“Where are your morals?” He asked, and she was left speechless trying to understand what he meant. “You think I am attempting to condemn myself? What
On the other side of the phone, Raymond almost jumped up from his sitting position after what had just been said which seemed surprising to him. He was sure Larry shot Harrison multiple times, yet he was still alive. Or was it that the person she was referring to was someone different? He was yet to figure it out.“Who are you talking about? You want us to kill someone else?” Raymond asked.“What? Wait…” Rachel pulled the phone from her ear to look at the caller to be sure if it was Raymond she was talking to because the way he was sounding was shocking. “Am I talking to Raymond?” She was still unsure.“Yes?” He sounded stressed.“Then why are you replying to me this way, like you don't know the common enemy we have?” Rachel unleashed her anger.“You mean…” Raymond shuddered, as though he was trying to shake off the thought in his head. Whenever it popped up, he kept brushing it over and over again until the thought occupied his whole head and he couldn't run from it. “You mean Harriso
