Harrison sighed as he looked at the black card in his hands, he just didn't know how to feel at this moment. Just like that, he went from someone with nothing to someone who had $100, 000, 000 and it was merely for his upkeep.
His brain couldn't process what was going on. Could it be that fate was playing tricks on him, well, that shouldn't be the case, he was sure about it.Sighing, Harrison pushed the thoughts out of his mind, he knew that it was time for him to give the life his wife deserved to him. His inlaw's net worth wasn't even ten percent of the Sterling Co-operation. No one would bully or insult him again, he wasn't useless and he was going to show them all.Looking around, Harrison saw a shop where they were selling bouquets. It would be nice to buy one for his wife to show his appreciation. Besides, she deserved it a lot.Thinking like this, Harrison walked into the flower shop with a smile on his face. The assistants in the shop frowned seeing the way Harrison was dressed. What the hell was someone like him doing here?Didn't he know that the shop wasn't an ordinary bouquet shop, Instead, all they sold were rare flowers that had a lot of fragrance, thus ordinary people were not able to afford them?He was probably here to look at the flowers as they were sure that he wouldn't be able to afford them. What a letdown. Even though the assistants thought like this, they didn't dare to show it and warmly welcomed Harrison into the store.Harrison on the other hand frowned slightly seeing the suppressed disgust on the assistant's face. Why the hell were they looking down on him, it was not as if he couldn't afford what he wanted to buy.Besides, wasn't it just ordinary Flowers? At most, it was going to cost five dollars, so why the hell were they looking down on him? But then Harrison couldn't care less about it and directly walked to look at the flowers wondering which one his wife would like.He had known her over the years and was sure that she wouldn't like something too fancy, she would prefer something more ordinary. Besides, the flowers in here had a very strong fragrance and he was sure that it was the real deal.Besides, his wife was allergic to some flowers so he had to choose carefully and couldn't choose too hastily.Looking around for a while, a flower caught Harrison's attention. Even though the flower was just looking ordinary, Harrison felt there was something about this flower. Its pure white petals looked so stunning that he couldn't help but look at it for a long time."And here you are Harrison." A voice came just as Harrison was about to talk to the assistants that he wanted the flower.Harrison's face turned black as he turned around to look at the source of the voice."What do you want, Janet?" Harrison frowned as he stared at the woman in front of him."Nothing." Janet smiled as she walked closer to Harrison."O see you're here to pick a flower for your dear wife, so which one did you choose?" Janet continued as if she didn't notice the displeasure on Harrison's face."None of your business." Harrison frowned."Well, if you're helpless and don't know which one to pick, how about I choose one for you." Janet smiled as he walked past Harrison looking at the flower he was looking at just now.Seeing the flower, a smile appeared on her lips as a glint flashed through her eyes."I don't need your help in doing anything," Harrison replied as he planned to ignore Janet.Janet had been his college coursemate and she had always looked down on him since that time. Besides his inability to do some things had earned him the ridicule of his classmates.. Even though he was very hardworking, he was still looked down upon and despised.It was obvious that Janet was here to cause trouble and even a fool could tell. But then Harrison didn't want to listen to her."Hey shop assistant," Janet suddenly said beckoning to one of the assistants."This young man here wants to buy this flower, hurry up and pack it for him.""Huh!"Harrison froze upon hearing Janet's words, What the hell was she thinking? When did he tell her that he was going to buy the flower? Looking back at the flower, he saw it was the one he had been staring at just now.But then for Janet to say something like that, it seemed like something was off, the flower couldn't be ordinary. It had to be something rare, or else, she wouldn't have gone so far as to help him call the shop assistant.But then after a second thought, a smile appeared on Harrison's face, his wife didn't deserve ordinary things anyway, so he might as well buy it for her. Besides, he had the money to get it. The flower couldn't cost $100, 000, 000. Besides, even if it cost that amount, he was now a billionaire heir and could afford to squander money the way he wanted."Sir, I'm afraid you can't buy this flower." The assistant who was called over frowned as he looked at Harrison."How dare you say that, don't you know who he is? He can very much afford the flower no matter how much it is." Janet exploded just before Harrison could say anything."I..." The assistant shuttered not knowing what to say. He was just trying to be polite and help the poor man.But it seems like the woman was bent on causing trouble for the man and thus he was powerless."Are you still hesitating? Or do you want me to see your manager?" Janet frowned as she stared at the assistant.By now the onlookers. were white worried for Harrison as there was no way he could afford the flower the woman was about to make him buy. Besides, they were also not fools and could tell that this was a fight."Sir, you have to think about this very well, once removed from the glass we won't take it back and you have to pay regardless." The shop assistant sighed looking at Harrison's hoping he could say something.But what would he say? People would look down on him if he didn't agree to buy the flower, what if he agreed and had no money to pay for it? Either of the two was not a good thing in any way."What the heck do you think you are saying? Are you looking down on this young man because of the way he's dressed?" Janet sneered as he ridiculed the assistants, "Let me tell you, all your net worths aren't even half of his put together.""Ma'am please don't be annoyed, I'm just saying this because the flower in that case is a rare flower called Kadupul flower." The assistant sighed feeling rather conflicted."So that's the Kadupul flower!" One of the onlookers muttered in shock as they stared at the flower."Which flower is that?""That's the Kadupul flower, also known as the night queen as it only blooms in the night, Besides, it's very rare and would cost a fortune.""I think that man is doomed, there's no way he'll be able to afford them flowers.""Sir, are you still willing to get this flower? Its price is ten thousand dollars." The shop assistant sighed looking at Harrison expectantly."And what do you think you're doing? Trying to convince him against buying the flower, didn't you hear what I said earlier." Janet fumed as she stared at the assistant.Though it appeared as if she was trying to defend Harrison's image, all knew that she was just trying to cause trouble and couldn't help but pity Harrison wondering what had gotten him involved with the crazy woman."Pack it up, I'll get the flower." Harrison's voice came just as the assistant was about to say something.The shop assistant nodded meekly as he was out of words. Didn't Harrison know what Janet was trying to do and yet he was going to play along? It seemed like something was bound to happen to him.The shop assistant couldn't help but fear for Harrison if the boss heard about this, there was no way he would let him go. Even though ten thousand dollars was not much in the boss's eyes, he was still not going to let Harrison off."Sir, how would you like to make your payment? Cash or card?" The shop assistant asked turning around to look at Harrison.This was another rule of the shop, no one would take the flower before paying, This was to prevent the customers from saying they didn't want it again after soiling the flowers."Here." Harrison smiled, pulling out the card Ramon gave him from the pocket and giving it to the assistant."Huh!"The assistant froze seeing the card on Max's hands. This was the legendary black card. There were only three of these cards in the world and now he was seeing one.Even though he had never seen one before, he heard stories about what they looked like and had never once seen the picture. Seeming the one with Harrison, he was rather shocked. What the hell was someone like him doing with that card? Could it be that he was a big shot who had come out to experience the world?It seems like the woman had hit a wall this time around. Remembering the statement the woman made earlier, he couldn't help but shudder, it seemed like the statement she just casually made was right."Is anything wrong with the card?" Harrison's impatient voice came seeing the assistant staring at the card in his hands without taking it from him."No sir." The assistant replied hurriedly."Then take it," Harrison replied feeling rather annoyed with the assistant.The assistant nodded and immediately took the card from Harrison and then hurried off to swipe it while still shaking."Harrison, you need not continue with your farce, we both know that you can't afford that night queen." Each strand is sold for ten thousand dollars because of its rarity and you'll buy it to make a bouquet, that'll be about twenty strands." Janet sneered immediately and the assistant ran off with the card."We'll see about that," Harrison smirked as he looked away.The name of the flower "The night queen" fitted his wife the most and it was as if it was created for her. No one was worthy of this flower except for his wife."Hmph! fool" Janet sneered as she waited eagerly for Harrison to disgrace himself. She knew better than anyone that Harrison wouldn't be able to afford the flower and all his efforts were all just in vain."Sir, here's your card, and these are the flowers. You're welcome at our store anytime." The assistant who had gone with the card came back with an excited expression as she handed Harrison the bouquet.This man in front of her had the legendary black card. Now she could brag in front of her friends that she had once touched the legendary black card, what a blessing!"He paid?" Janet frowned as she looked at Harrison who collected the bouquet and the card."Yes ma'am." The assistant nodded, feeling rather excited."No need to think about it too much, Janet." Harrison smiled as he patted Janet on the shoulder leaving her dumbfounded as he walked out of the StoreJanet just couldn't process what was happening. How could Harrison have the money to buy the flowers, It had to be a lie. He had spent over two hundred thousand dollars on just a bouquet. It seemed like she was dreaming.Or maybe did he rob the bank as there was no way he would have that amount of money. Yeah, that had to be the case. She had to report to the police so they could arrest him. He was a suspect since there was a bank robbery days ago and the criminals had escaped.She was sure to be praised once he was caught. Thinking like this, Janet rushed out of the store wanting to go report to the Police what happened.Harrison on the other hand walked out of the store feeling rather happy. He was sure that his wife was waiting for him at home and he couldn't wait to go home to see her.Even though he wasn't going to tell her what happened today, he was at least telling her some good news and it was that they were never going to have to suffer anymore. Harrison's mood was extremely good at the moment.Vroom! Vroom!Suddenly rows of police cars surrounded Harrison making him frown and wonder what was happening."Yeah, that's him, he's the one, he has to be one of the robbers." An excited voice drifted into Harrison's ears just as Harrison was surrounded.Harrison frowned hearing the voice. When the hell did he rob a bank? He knew there was a bank robbery days ago, but then it had nothing to do with him, this was a pure misunderstanding.They had mistaken him for someone else. Besides, the voice he heard just now was rather too familiar. Wasn't it Janet's voice?"Suspect surrounded, stay back he may b
"Did you come to beg for money again," Rachel smiled seeing Caroline walk into the villa."And who cares about your money." Caroline sneered as she stared at her stepmother."So tell me, why did you come here?" Rachel chuckled."Well, my husband found a job, so now, he's a lot better than all of your twerps," Caroline said coldly."He got a job at which company?" Rachel frowned as she asked."At the sterling Co-operation." Caroline smiled.Haha! Haha!Rachel suddenly burst out laughing, after some time, she managed to suppress her laughter as she looked at Caroline, "You almost got me there.""You think Sterling Co-operation would give that useless trash of yours you call a husband a job?""I think you've been desperate for so long that you became delusional." Rachel chuckled as she continued."I'd advise you to go back and ask that useless husband of yours where he got a job. I think it must be a useless men's Cooperation instead."Caroline frowned hearing Rachel's words. Well, she c
Stephen's mouth twitched violently hearing Harrison's words. How dare he talk to him that way? It seemed like he had underestimated him greatly.Groaning, Stephen managed to get up as he left the place, his face burning with embarrassment.If only he hadn't met that cursed person at the gate, then this wouldn't have happened. It was just as his mother had said, Harrison was truly a bad luck.---Harrison on the other hand felt rather happy as he walked into the Company. The guards even though repulsed by his appearance didn't dare to look down on him as he carried a kind of demeanor ordinarily people wouldn't have which made them quite wary."Excuse me, sir, how may I help you." The receptionist's polite voice came as she stared at Harrison in disgust.If not for the fact that she had been warned not to look down on anyone, she would have long called the guards to throw Harrison out because of the way he was dressed.Besides, she remembered that the receptionist who was fired before s
"And here you are Ramon." Harrison smiled seeing Ramon who was walking hurriedly towards him."Young Master," Ramon smiled bitterly as he walked hurriedly towards Harrison.With the look on Harrison's face, he knew that the latter was about to lose his patience which made him quite angry with the receptionist. Didn't they more than look down on someone?It has taken a lot of effort for him to invite Harrison over to take a look at the company, and yet these foolish guards wanted to take them away.The receptionist on the other hand was scared out of her wits as she couldn't believe her eyes. Ramon was someone she had never seen since she started working at the company, and yet this man in front of her was able to make him come.Who the hell was he? It seemed like she had managed to offend a big shot like she had feared. It turned out that he wasn't running his mouth all this while. It was her who was running her mouth."I think, I'll just head back, your company doesn't welcome me." H
Harrison's face went dark upon hearing what Caroline said. What the hell was happening? He was sure that someone was behind it."Young master, what's wrong?" Ramon frowned seeing Harrison's expression."Someone is trying to demolish my house saying it needs to undergo a renovation." Harrison frowned as he rushed out of the office."Young Master, I'll drive you over," Ramon said hurriedly as he followed Harrison out of the office.Harrison didn't deny it and patiently waited for Ramon even though he was quite anxious as he didn't know what was happening.In no time, Ramon came over with a car, and immediately, Harrison got in and off to his house. Since Ramon had taken Harrison home the day before, there was no need for Harrison to direct him or tell him the location.---"You can't demolish this building, it's been here for more than fifteen years." Caroline frowned as he looked at the man in the tractor who had a grin on his face."That's one of the reasons for me to destroy it, the
"I don't think it'll be appropriate to stop at this time, I think you should just let him do his work." Harrison chuckled."You..." Stephen turned around as he gritted his teeth glaring at Harrison."You're not a dog brother-in-law, it's not good for you to brush your teeth in that manner." Harrison laughed."Hey, stop what you are doing right now!" Stephen continued to yell ignoring Harrison as he ran towards the excavator."Are you sure he'll hear your screams, it'll be better if you just go and watch." Harrison continued, not being bothered by Stephen who had ignored him."Hey stop!" Stephen continued to yell as he ran towards the excavator, he had to do all in his power to make sure he didn't pull down the building.Just now, his mother had called him that there was a team of excavators in their villa wanting to pull it down as they claimed that the legal team asked them to do it and that something was wrong with the building.Even though his mother just asked him to hurry up and
"Harrison, what did you do to Stephen?" Caroline frowned as she asked.She was rather confused as she just couldn't understand what was happening. First, it had gone from Stephen saying he didn't know have any way to help them to him suddenly stopping the man driving the excavator.Then it moved on to where he and Harrison started arguing and it looked like Harrison had the upper hand. What the fuck was happening?"Wifey, what I did was very simple," Harrison smiled, "I just asked some men with excavators to go pull down their villa.Thump!Caroline's heart couldn't help but skip a beat hearing Harrison's words. Wasn't it too dangerous and all that was for him to get Stephen to help them out?"But...""Don't worry it won't backfire since he's the one who started it?" Harrison smiled."What do you mean?" Caroline frowned, feeling rather confused."Well, it was Stephen who had asked the man to come pull down our building. If he's not the one, then how did he know about it? Why did the m
"And what the hell do you think you are doing, Micheal?" James frowned as he glared at Michael."Well, I think I'll be stopping you from having your way this time." Micheal smiled."Well, then, how would you do that?" James chuckled."Men, take him down," James ordered as he stared at James."Don't stress yourself, James," Micheal smiled,"We both know that none of your men can do anything to me, even if they attack, they wouldn't be able to touch the collar of my shirt, talk more or less about taking me down."James' eyes narrowed as he stared at Micheal while signaling his men to back down. What Micheal had said was the truth, the two had often got into strife and he had never come out victorious.Besides, the latter was a very good fighter which made him fear him a bit as his men would have to be hospitalized for a few days if they attacked him."Well, I'd suggest you ask your men to leave the innocent woman alone." Michael continued with a triumphant smile on his face."And who da

“You must have thought you were way too smart to be dealt with. You got me so bad that I thought I was done for. I have never faced an opponent like you and for that, I’ll give you a ten. You are damn good!” Harrison said with a hint of mockery in his tone and Edward became pissed.However, he tried to think about what went wrong to make his plan fail and how it was so hard for him to figure out what was going on. In a thousand years, he would never expect someone as low as Ramon to be able to exceed him in intellectual strategy.“What? Don’t tell me you are spacing out at such times. And why weren’t you able to figure out what was going on? I mean, you have cameras watching, don't you?” Harrison said sarcastically.Edward felt pressured and it felt like the right time for Harrison to make it harder on him. After all, Harrison suffered the same fate earlier.“How did I not figure this out?” Edward finally said, scolding himself.“Because you are so dumb to notice.” Harrison fired at h
Being indoors for a long while had made their senses a bit shaken off and when they had to adjust to a sudden brightness, they couldn’t help but blink their eyes multiple times.Everyone was shocked to see someone had walked into a room. An unknown someone they didn’t know but were so desperate to see his face, yet their sight was failing to adjust to the light.However, after the figure spoke, every single effect of the sudden brightness was washed off and replaced with curiosity.Starting from the leg, everyone scanned the figure from the toe, slowly heading to his face. When they arrived at the finish point, they all nearly fell on their backs.“Ramon?” Everyone yelled seemingly as though they had seen a ghost. It had to be a ghost right, or maybe their senses were playing tricks on them? They just couldn’t figure it out as their jaws were wide open, almost dropping to the floor.“Jesus Christ! What the hell is this?” Edward yelled, shaking his head from side to side to see if ever
Back inside the small cabin in the rural area.Edward and the others were seated on the couch watching the Television. They weren’t watching the news but something else. There were some wireless connected cameras fixed in some certain place while the television displayed each of those scenes that happened in each place Furthermore, there was a remote control in Edward’s hand, and he was able to make each scene that was showing in a mini spot on the screen occupy the whole screen, so everyone could have their view of what was happening.Right there, on the screen, it was showing that Harrison just walked into the hospital ward. Not only could Edward and the others watch what was going on, but they were able to hear the conversation that was going on.Meanwhile, Larry who was seated at the far end of the room was enjoying the show the most since he was the one who delivered the flower directly to her. He played his part so well that she was unable to recognize him. Of course, he was pu
“Linda right?” Caroline asked, and the delivery man nodded at her before handing the flowers to her. She extended her hand and grabbed the vase. It was such a perfect piece as it had an ancient drawing sculptured on it. The material looked like glass, yet it was made of wood. The way it was polished alone was unique and must be a very costly piece.At once glance, Caroline took notice of it but what she was more invested about was how nice the flowers were. She couldn't resist the urge to dip her nose into it and allow the fragrance to waft into her nostrils.Bang!Just then the door was pushed open and Lucas pushed his head in. The moment he saw her with flowers he was shocked as he knew it wasn't there before and it wasn't like he saw anyone bring it in.That was when Caroline pulled out of the enjoyable feeling she was in. Her mind ran back to the lad who brought the flowers, and she wanted to thank him but after looking she noticed he was nowhere to be found. Rather, there was Lu
“Hello sis, how are you doing?” Linda's voice rang through the phone as soon as the call was picked up, and the receiver was left in shock. It took a while and there was no response. Nervously, Linda peeked glances at the phone to see if it was disconnected, but it wasn't.“Caroline? Are you there?” She called out again before a reply came through.“What do you want?” Caroline replied seemingly disgusted. “Are you calling to make more trouble? Remember I don't have that time at the moment, please.” She concluded and wanted to end the call when Linda spoke.“I am sorry.” She said and shockingly, Caroline couldn't bring herself to hang up. The words she just heard were too good to be true, yet it didn't feel like she was dreaming.Linda just apologized? Caroline started doubting her senses. She was unable to let herself fall for such a trap like before. She had witnessed too much and it was energy draining. Her stepmother pointed a gun at her and would have killed her if not for a mira
“Shit! The police department?” Whitman murmured the words out, as he would rather not be noticed by the caller. Moreover, everyone had their guard up thinking the place was surrounded by the police.There wasn’t any siren sound or any movement, so it must be an unnoticeable operation, right? Those were the thoughts that were running inside their heads as quickly Larry and Raymond took a peep at the window but there was no one outside.They felt a sigh of relief, but that didn’t quench their suspicion. They knew not to let their guard down. Never.“Yes, who am I speaking with?” Edward replied trying hard to keep his composure. He suddenly looked calm and collected like he wasn’t the same person who was nervous not long ago.Already he had speculated that whoever it was, it had to be someone who knew him. The number was private and after picking up, the caller said he was from the police department.After realizing all this, Edward wanted to laugh out loud, but he chose to play along fi
“What’s the meaning of this? Why are you pointing a gun at my head?” Whitman was shocked by the turn of events. He didn’t expect them to come to his house and threaten him.“You are his ally ain’t you? I’ve seen you a couple of times with that brat called Harrison. Who knows, maybe you are here working for him undercover.” Larry spits his suspicion while Raymond nods his head in support.“Stand down!” Edward snapped but was being ignored. “I said bring the gun down!” He said again and yet no one paid a listening ear to him.“It’s the opposite. I am working with Edward here to bring Harrison down.” Whitman explained.“What? Don’t be shitting me. You are the same person who gave out our hideout to Harrison, and you want us to believe you? You should talk fast before I put four bullets into your thick skull!” Larry threatened.The look on his face was so cold, signifying his threats wasn’t a bluff. Already, he had adjusted the gun and had his finger wrapped around the trigger button. Any
The tension became hot and it felt like air was sucked out of their lungs leaving them dry and vulnerable. That should be the time when they should bow their heads and beg for forgiveness, but the men didn’t look like they would.Though they were shocked by his words, there was no trace of fear radiating off them. It felt like they had gradually made up their minds to accept death.Noticing this, Whitman was quite stunned. He knew their loyalty was as tough as a rock, but in the face of death, anyone was supposed to shiver.Smiling, he pulled out a gun and cracked it, then pointed it at one of them.“Swear loyalty to me and I will spare your life.” He said instead as the thought of using them against Harrison would seem befitting to him.“Tch!” All the men spat at his face at once as though they were all in sync with each other. Their eyes were stern as they held nothing but disgust. If not for the fact that they were being tied, they would have lunged at him by now.“Wrap things up
