"But mom, this amount is too much; since he's not working, why don't we give him a job? He could be a cleaner in one of our hotels or a security guard." Marcus said"What?" Ynes angrily slammed the table. "Uncle, what do you mean by saying he should become a cleaner? You're asking my friend to become a cleaner even after saving Grandma?" She looked furious.Elaine, who was sitting quietly and enjoying the scene, winked at Irene. "Are you going to sit quietly and watch her speak rudely to your dad?" She whispered Hearing this, Irene frowned and also slammed the table facing Ynes. She had the same height as Ynes but was not as beautiful as her."Ynes, do you think you can disrespect my dad because of your so-called friend here? Dad is the eldest here, and you should shut up when he's talking; after all, he's more important than your deceased, useless dad." She saidElaine nodded in approval as a smile appeared on her face.Ynes suddenly lost her temper. She slammed her hands down on
Please leave your comments after reading.Asking this, everyone rolled their eyes to look at Oliver and Megan, who were enjoying their meal."What?" Megan's heart thumped upon hearing Donovan's question and also seeing that all eyes were now on her.She cleared her throat and said, "Actually, I went to see Oliver yesterday to learn how to remove the needles when Grandma Larkin woke up.""Yes, Megan actually informed me that Oliver taught her how to remove the needles." Ynes also addedDonovan looked furious at that moment; he had wanted to embarrass both Oliver and Megan so he could use that advantage to get her, but his plan didn't go out smoothly.Oliver placed the spoon he was holding on the table."Donovan, why were you looking for Doctor Megan at such a late hour yesterday?" He also askedOnce again, all eyes rolled, but this time they fell on Donovan as they all demanded an answer."Uhm, actually….l.. was... I wasn't feeling well yesterday so I had to go and look for her." He
Mr. Marcus's smile faded, replaced by a look of anger. "Don't be foolish, Doctor," he said. "You don't understand who you're dealing with. I am the eldest master of the Larkin family, and I can make your life very difficult if I want to."Dr. Megan felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that the Larkin family was one of the most powerful and dangerous families in the city, and she didn't want to get on their bad side.But she also knew that she couldn't compromise her principles. "I'm sorry, Mr. Marcus," she said, her voice firm. "But I cannot marry your son, no matter how much money you offer because I have no feelings for him."Marcus's face grew red with anger. "Very well," he said, his voice cold. "But don't come crying to me when you lose your job.""Thank you for your words. I'll take my leave now." Megan walked out after that.Right after he walked out of the room, Donovan, who was also hiding beside the wardrobe, came out with an angry and sad expression on his face.He had
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit room in an unknown location, a man in a dark suit was seated in a high chair with his legs crossed. His face couldn't be seen clearly because of how dark the room was. His shadow reflection was on the wall. Beside him were twenty men—ten on his left and another ten on his right. They all had guns in their hands. Just then, a lady wearing a blue mask with the letter V written on it opened the door and walked into the dark room.Her dress was a sleek, form-fitting number in a deep shade of midnight blue. The fabric was made of a smooth, cool material that seemed to repel warmth rather than retain it. The neckline was high and fitted, covering her throat like a shield. The sleeves were long and tight, stretching down to her wrists like a second skin. There were no adornments or embellishments to be found, only a subtle seam that ran down the center of the dress. The overall effect was one of austere elegance, like the dress was a weapon in its own right.As she
Meanwhile, it was 7 p.m. when Oliver and Ynes arrived at the place where the cage fight was going to take place. This time, Ynes and Oliver came alone in her BMW. She asked Ryker to stay back, as he wanted to have time alone with Oliver. Seeing Ynes, a lot of people cheered up as they respectfully greeted her. Everyone knew her as the granddaughter of the matriarch of the Larkin family. Seeing Oliver walk by her side, some even wondered if he was her lucky boyfriend. That night he wasn't looking bad; he was dressed nicely and looking very handsome. "It seems you're very popular here; see how everyone is trying to flatter you." Oliver said with a smile. Ynes sighed. "Well, it is what it is." She replied shortly. Ynes and Oliver were allowed to enter quickly without any delay because they knew who she was. Ynes wor
"You better be ready to bleed, John, because I'm going to make you regret stepping into this cage." Sullivan said John chuckled hard, his eyes looking cold. "Sullivan," he called out. "You think you're man enough to beat me? That must be a joke. Wait until I get my hands on you. You'll be begging for mercy before the first round is over." He replied "I've fought men twice your size and beaten them. You don't stand a chance against me. You know, actually, John, I'm not just here to win. I'm here to destroy you and the other opponents, to make you all regret ever stepping into the ring with me." Sulivan threw more savage words, just as his name suggested. Jack gritted his teeth upon hearing his words. "Cut the savage crap and let's fight it out." Just after he landed, he threw a heavy right hook, but Sullivan ducked underneath it and delivered a quick jab to the body. The crowd erupted in cheers, impressed by the spee
David launched himself forward with fierce determination, his fists flying as he aimed for Marcus's head. But Marcus was a master of evasion, his quick reflexes allowing him to dodge each punch with ease.As David continued his relentless assault, Marcus waited patiently for the right moment to strike. And then, in one swift move, "Puff!"He seized his chance, ducking under David's final punch and delivering a crushing blow to his midsection."Ahh!"David crumpled to the mat, his breath knocked out of him as Marcus was declared the winner. "I warned you, David; you're no match for me. Go and get prepared for next year's match."Even though Marcus shocked everyone with his only one-strike defeating blow, the crowd roared their approval as Marcus raised his arms in triumph, his victory secured in a matter of moments.Oliver's eyes narrowed as he watched Marcus celebrate his victory in the ring. Something about the way he had defeated David didn't sit right with him. It was almost as i
Kindly leave your comments whiles readingThe crowd erupted in disbelief at his bold challenge. Even though they all knew Lee was strong, they didn't believe he could take down five fighters at once. The other four fighters looked at each other with uncertainty. The referee frowned, unsure of whether to allow such an unusual request."Lee, why are you so proud? You think taking one person down is enough for five of us together?" One of them saidLee shrugged. "It's up to you. You can fight me one-on-one if you want, but I guarantee you'll all lose. This way, at least you have a chance."The referee looked around at the crowd, sensing their excitement and anticipation at the prospect of such an epic battle. Finally, he nodded. "Very well. We'll allow it. The final fight will be all five fighters against Lee.""Lee, be prepared to die in our hands today; your body will be sent back to your country, China." Another said with a chuckle.The entire scene was filled with silence as eve
