“Meet you at Star City Hotel? I must ask my husband before coming.” Caroline replied, and immediately Rachel's heart thumped faster. She quickly composed herself and spoke.“What nonsense are you saying? Do you need your husband's permission before seeing your mother? Is that how you have disregarded me?” Rachel snapped.“That's not it. He has to know about my whereabouts. I can't just go without letting him know.” Caroline tried to explain but it didn't look like it was taking effect.“What nonsense. I have called you to apologize and make things right, and you still don't want to come over?” Rachel snarled.“I even booked an appointment for you with the CEO of a multinational corporation. Are you telling me it's a waste of effort?” Rachel sparked.Hearing that, Caroline became fired up. She has been jobless for a while now and couldn't support her family. If she could get her hands on that job, then they could as well upgrade their lives. However, she also thought about keeping it
Whitman drove into Star City hotel parking lot. He had questions but decided to keep it to himself. Earlier, he heard the conversation Caroline was having, and it appeared she was going to meet her stepmother.But why not meet her at home? Why bring her to a hotel instead? Whitman was puzzled. He also knew her mother was someone shady but didn't say anything, so it wouldn't appear like he was aiming to tarnish her image.“Thank you. I will go in now.” Caroline thanked him before hopping down. Then she walked into the hotel. As the name implies, it was a place of high standard, and booking a reservation here couldn't be done by just anyone but rich people.Caroline stared in awe but was also stunned that her mom would bring her here for a meeting.“Please, I am looking for Rachel Samson. She booked a reservation here.” Caroline said to the receptionist.“Right. Miss Rachel asked me to personally welcome you. You can go to the top floor, room 5.” the receptionist smiled.Hearing such, C
Caroline couldn't get her head over what just happened. It was too good to be real. Her family had sold her out to a horror-looking man. Was this supposed to be a torture or wickedness?She quickly wanted to run towards the door, but Micheal was all over her. His size gave him the advantage as he loomed over her with a smirk on his face.“All you have to do is to open your legs nice and slow, then it will be over for today,” Micheal said with pleasure written all over his face. After thoroughly checking her body, he licked his lips as though it were a candy that was given to me.“Let me go! I have a husband. You won't like what he will do to you!” Caroline threatened, but he smiled instead. It seems the news hadn't broken to her yet that her husband was dead, so he decided to tell her himself.“Harrison or who are you talking about?” He asked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.“You know him? Then you must know he is dangerous.” Caroline stood her ground, trying to instill fear in h
Immediately the door was flung open everyone was startled. They looked towards it only to find a tall slim man covered in blood. His gaze was as sharp as a knife as he stared at them.Their breathing paused. They even forgot they had noses on their faces due to how tough his aura was. On the other hand, Whitman's eyes lit up. He quickly got his strength back and stood up."Young master?" He called out excitedly. Though he was shocked as to why he was covered in blood, his appearance alone mattered a lot at that instant.Harrison walked in further. His eyes were intensely staring at Michael Du when he spoke."You dare you touch my wife?" He grumbled. His voice was deep enough to send shivers."What are you doing? Attack that guy right away!" Micheal ordered his men. His eyes glinted with fear as he yelled. It was like watching a dead man come back to life.Rachel had shown him a picture of Harrison dead on the floor but somehow the lad was here? How the hell did they happen or was all
Everyone aside from her wasn't shocked by the situation. But what was bothering Harrison was why she offered fifty million out of that money so he should be killed. The amount was rather shocking to him. He never expected such."Why did she offer someone Fifty million to kill me?" He asked the question anyway."Because she won't have to pay back the two hundred million. I have wanted Caroline for a long time now but sadly she was married to you so I proposed a deal to your mother-in-law. I told her I was ready to forfeit the money if she handed Caroline to me!" He paused and took a hard gulp."She accepted and decided to kill you off so I can have her. I never knew she could trick me!" Micheal grumbled thinking he was betrayed after seeing Harrison alive."No! She didn't betray you. I was lucky and I'll thank Whitman for that." Harrison said smiling."Me? How?" Whitman couldn't hold the urge to ask."I was glad you added a vest to my clothes that time and I wore it. I think the mater
“Please spare us. We will never do such a thing ever again.” The receptionist said quickly after seeing the terrifying sight. She knew eventually she would be next. Going through such would be a traumatic experience and from the way the guard was screaming, she could tell.“What did you say? I should spare you?” Lucas grinned and shot the guard who was kneeling right in the head. The others were startled by this and wanted to run, but he shot them too, leaving just the receptionist.Anyone who dared to trouble Harrison should be dealt with in the worst way ever. Lucas had sworn to take that task upon himself, and right now, he was carrying it out.Watching all this, The receptionist lost her voice. She didn't know if she was to shout or keep quiet and watch them. Already she knew none of that option was going to save her. After all, she was the one who took the lead when face-slapping Harrison.The whole place was covered with blood, and hers was next. “Now tell me, do you have any l
Rachel couldn't believe her ears. It felt like her senses were playing tricks on her. Whose voice was that? She thought to herself, staring in shock as though her eyes had lost their lights.Her body began to tremble, and the phone slipped down to the floor. Seeing this, Stephen suspected something might have happened so he came at her.“Mom, what's wrong?” He asked, but she was too lost to reply. After a while of staring blankly at the wider space, she spoke nervously.“Get the car now! We are going to the White House!” She yelled. From how terrifying her actions were, Stephen was alerted that there was trouble. He ran into the house and brought back the car key, showing it off to her eyes, and then she followed him outside. They hurriedly hopped into the car and left.____Inside the white hall, Harrison was standing before their grandmother with his wife. He was still holding her phone, which he used to call his mother-in-law. The kind of audacity and tone he used made Grandmothe
“What nonsense are you saying?” Rachel found her courage back as she started walking forward. “Is this how you want to frame me for something I didn't do?” She fumed.“And you,” She pointed at Caroline. “You ungrateful child. Should you put your sins on my head? Do I look like someone who can sell my family off?” She thundered.“What the heck are you saying, Mom? Weren't you the one who invited me into a hotel and sold me off to Micheal Du?” Caroline countered her. “Are you going to accuse me again? One more word from you and you'll receive five of my fingers to that filthy face of yours?” Rachel kept grumbling, but all along she was avoiding Harrison's gaze. She didn't care what he thought. After all, Grandmother was the one who had the final say here.“Don't…” Caroline wanted to continue, but Harrison tugged her arm again and she kept quiet.“Rachel, are you telling me all the accusations are false?” Grandmother called out to her.“Yes, mother!” Rachel replied firmly.“Grandmother
