Looking up to see Levi, he was flustered and quickly tried to hide the wad of cash on his table.But Levi already noticed it. He sneered as he closed the door, "Is that the amount they paid for my identity?"Billy panicked and quickly tried to cover up. "W—what are you talking about? How dare you barge into my office? Have you forgotten I am your superior?""It is exactly because you are my superior, I have come to pay my last respects," Levi slammed a letter on the table.He was more convinced that his decision to leave this place was right. With a superior that won't stop at nothing to get money even if it meant putting his life at risk, his days were sure to be numbered.Billy was taken aback at Levi's confident comebacks. In the past, this lowlife wouldn't dare look him straight in the eyes and would always lower his head.He would apologize even when he isn't at fault. But today, he dared to speak so rudely. Isn't he afraid of being cast out of the company?Billy's eyes fell on th
People entering and leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau couldn't help noticing the couple standing beside a sleek SUV.Although the man was dressed a bit ordinarily, a complete contrast to the gorgeous and well-dressed woman beside him, people couldn't help but think they really complemented each other.Levi was oblivious to these gazes as he looked at the certificates in his hands with mixed feelings.One was a divorce certificate while the other was a marriage certificate. He recalled the look the official that handed over the divorce certificate to him gave him earlier.The woman must have been thinking his marriage had probably fallen apart due to his infidelity after seeing him show up with a beautiful woman.He sighed and put away the divorce certificate before opening other booklet.He couldn't help noticing how his clothes and rough appearance stood out sharply to Brooklyn's stunning look.It still felt weird to think he had gotten married again just a few hours after getting a di
Levi trembled with anger. Sleeping on the floor for a week? Treatment stopped? What happened to the money Zoey collected for his father's treatment?"Hey dude!" The young man pushed him. "Are you going to pay up or not? Your father is clearly not in the state to do so.""How are you so sure it was my father that stole the money? He has been sleeping outside the ward for a week. How can he steal the money that was inside the ward?" Levi boiled as he spoke.His father was at the critical stage of dementia and needed all the treatment he could get yet he was being maltreated this way."Dude, the ward's door was opened and besides, after I left to have a word with the doctor, it was only your father who was sitting outside here that could have stolen the money.""Just pay up and don't delay this poor boy," The nurse added. The crowd also agreed thinking Levi should just pay what his father has stolen."I might not be filial like you," Levi pointed to the young man. "But I know my father wi
The nurse, May, flushed in embarrassment and gave her colleague a glare. She was startled to see the doctor behind them.The doctor's eyes already darkened. He chased after May relentlessly when she first got to the hospital yet she rejected him heartlessly.Now she spends the little salary she earns on medicine for an old man. Are old men her type?"Nurse May," he called out in disgust."How do you explain this? I ordered every treatment for Thomas to stop since his family couldn't afford the bills but you secretly bought medicines for him. How dare you?"May was frightened and hurriedly tried to explain. "I'm sorry sir. It's just that the old man was already freezing to death and—""You are suspended! Since you can't obey your superior's orders, you might as well stay at home."Tears fell down from May's face at the doctor's words. This scene once again angered Levi.Aren't medical workers supposed to be kind and caring? How did these hypocritical nurse and stupid doctor even obtain
Levi patted the bed covers as he stood up. He stopped at the foot of the bed and watched Thomas snoring softly.The servants had gotten his father all cleaned up and he was starting to look like the man he knew. Only that his hair had gone grey and his body was wrinkled from old age and too many trials of life.After staring for a minute, he stepped away and walked to Brooklyn who was standing at the door.When the door closed behind them, he expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Brooklyn. I'll clean up the mess my father made in your car."Brooklyn shook her head, "You are my husband... The servants will take care of that."A minute of silence hung in the air before she added,"Well, your father has to stay at my villa for the meantime. The servants will take good care of him. But I'm afraid we'll have to live at my family's house for now. At least till grandmother is cured.""I have no issues with that. I have hired a nurse to take care of dad. I'll also keep an eye on him to ensure h
Levi lowered Luis' hand slowly without applying too much pressure out of respect but Luis was utterly humiliated."You still dare to return to this house! You shameless man. If you don't leave this instant, I'll get the guards to throw you out!"Larry boiled with anger and he looked at Levi. After staring for a few minutes, he confirmed he doesn't know who he is.He has had the chance as the heir of the Rockefellers to meet every single distinguished man from wealthy families in the city.If he had met Levi before, he would have remembered him. Since he couldn't recognize who he was, he concluded he was a nobody."Really Brooklyn, you lowered your standards to this," He pointed his finger at Levi with a look of contempt."Did you grab a homeless person to come here and pretend to be your husband? Other ladies are dying for an opportunity to be with me while it was handed over to you on a golden platter."Brooklyn reddened with anger. What right does this moron have to call her cheap? B
"Do you think I am dead? You can't remove anyone from the family's register without my consent," Grandfather Hernandez tapped his stick on the floor repeatedly."But father, look at how unruly she is behaving. It is only because you have given her the chance to do so," Luis was indignant. He felt his father was being biased.The marriage arrangement between their family and the Rockefellers was supposed to strengthen their status and affluence but this brat just went ahead and ruined it.Her actions to Larry just now have undoubtedly caused a family feud even though the latter was also wrong. But how could he accept this?Without him saying a word, Levi realized all his thoughts and his eyes were filled with coldness.What sort of a man places no value on his daughter's happiness? The Hernandez's family wealth is vast enough. What more does he need and why is he willing to go to any lengths for it?So he turned to grandfather Hernandez and bowed slightly, "Grandfather, I apologize for
"Then what do you want?"Brooklyn thought perhaps a job or a mansion or some land after all the reports about him stated he was very poor and there was no info about his job.However, she didn't expect him to say, "I just want my father to be taken care of.""Huh?" Brooklyn's beautiful eyes glimmered with puzzlement."I am not financially stable now and can't afford my father's medical expenses. You just have to help me take care of that," He raised two fingers."I swear I'll pay back as soon as I can stand on my feet. Besides, accepting your money like this just for a small marriage agreement makes me feel like a man kept by a woman."The few millions Grandfather Hernandez gave him wouldn't last long and he is currently jobless so this is the only way he can think of."Is that all?" Brooklyn's mouth formed an 'O' in astonishment and he nodded, waiting patiently for her response.After a moment of silence, she gave him an expressionless look. "You are weird."Other men would have acted
