Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top CH011: Two New Certificates
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 Lloyd: Race To The Top 012: Wrongly Accused
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 Lloyd: Race To The Top 015: Apologize To My Wife
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
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 016: A Kept Husband
"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
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 017: Job Hunt
"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
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 018: Break His Legs!
When Levi was led to the waiting area, everyone's eyes fell upon him but then they looked away as they didn't recognize him.The people also waiting for the job application were undergraduates who had studied at various distinguished universities and knew one or two other persons there.But Levi... He graduated from a local college and slaved away at The Chronicle so he wasn't popular hence causing him to be isolated from others.Noticing their degrading attitudes, he quietly found a seat closer to the door and waited patiently for his turn.There was a long queue as the print media company was also fairly popular just like The Chronicle.Levi noticed applicants that walked in all came out one after the other with sad or tearful expressions but he didn't fret.The queue was gradually reduced until one of the applicants who had been acting haughtily earlier walked out of the board room with a wide smile.People around quickly gathered to fawn over him."I knew you would pass.""Look at

235: The End II
Juan is right. He really owes Laura even in the next lifetime. She trusted him, loved him but he tore their family apart and couldn't even cherish the one person she left behind. Did he still deserve to live? __________ A few weeks later after the news of what had befallen the madam of Hernandez family broke out, Levi was in the ward speaking to his father who was about to be taken away to the Wales by Cyrus, Marie and Lincoln when a guard walked in. "Sir, the young madam's father has come for a visit. He is currently with her." Heading this, Levi brows furrowed and he stood. He looked down at his father who didn't even react like he had heard his words and sighed. "Father, be good, okay? I'll come with Brooklyn to visit you sometime when she has fully recovered. Bye." He turned to his uncle, aunt and cousin with a grateful look. They all shared a hug and he told them, "I wish you a safe trip and please tell grandfather I sent my greetings." With that, they bade farewell and h

234: The End I
Juan simply gave Luis a look that made him feel like he was a fool and walked around him, going straight to Yolanda and completely ignoring him. "Should I tell them about the aphrodisiac or you will?"When he said these words, Yolanda's eyes widened in fear and she panicked. He didn't stop there, "Or I should talk about the vitamins instead. I'm sure my brother will like to learn more about Andy."Yolanda's knees turned weak and she almost collapsed if it weren't for the cops holding her. Seeing her reaction, Luis walked up to them. "What are you talking about?"Juan finally gave him attention and pointed at him, "You are such a fool. I can't believe you cheated with this thing on Laura. You should atone for your sins at her grave for the rest of your life!"Luis gritted angrily and his fingers balled into fists but he knew he stood no chance against Juan if he attempted to strike."That's enough Juan," Grandfather Hernandez stepped in. "What's all this fuss about? Ask the cops to l

"Here are records of her purchasing many illegal drugs from this black market trader. They managed to track her transactions and realized that besides purchasing a potent poison within different time frames and a few other drugs yet to be identified, she also purchased a strong aphrodisiac that has been banned for years."Levi's expression turned rigid upon hearing this. Aphrodisiac? He looked at the hospital bed where Brooklyn was sleeping peacefully wrapped in bandages and suddenly remembered the first time he had met her.She had run down the street trying to escape from Larry. He could still remember how strong he had felt the scent of the aphrodisiac from her.All those times, he used to think Larry was the one behind the aphrodisiac but what if he had an accomplice.Larry might have wrongfully listed after Brooklyn but Levi knew he was too chickenhearted to purchase that contraband himself.So it must have been someone who gave it to him and that person could be Yolanda."Uncle,

232: Game Over
Gunshots suddenly rang out in the warehouse and the guns in the thugs hands began to fall to the ground one after the other as they cried in pain,"Argh!""Ah!!!!""Argh!!!!""Ow!!!"Noah's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets as he watched all his men fall to the floor and writhe in pain. "You bastard!" He yelled into the microphone as he watched cops emerge. "Are you so foolish? Do you think your wife will go Scot free now? Just a word from me and her mutilated body parts will be sent to your doorstep!"Levi's eyes darkened at his words. He looked around because he knew Noah could see him. "Do you know what has become of your accomplice, Billy? Just surrender now or your term will be worse."Noah laughed and the warehouse echoed with his laughter. "That was all my plan, you fool! He was after my ring too so how could I let him remain with me?! He is no longer useful so I tossed him out.""You have gone against me and I can see you value the ring more than your wife. That is w

231: Come Get It
As the chaos subsided, Juan received a call and stepped away from the gathering. He found a quiet place and answered the call just before it was disconnected."Hello, did you find out anything?" He was a bit anxious about what the other person was going to say. If Luis is really declared guilty, he won't spare him."Sir, we tracked his call records and his bank records even deleted transactions but found nothing unusual."Juan didn't know why he released a sigh of relief. He wasn't wrong after all. Luis might be temperamental and easily pissed off but he won't do anything to hurt his own family. Then who tampered with the vitamins? Because Juan had a bit of knowledge in medicine, he knew the vitamins were manufactured by a popular pharmaceutical company and they were original products.Which means someone must have tampered with the vitamins after they were purchased? He had almost forgotten that he was on a call until the person spoke again."Sir, we also checked the call records of

"She's missing," Hector announced as he walked into the sitting room where the cops were handling Billy and the bloody mess he had causedLevi was on a sofa with an oppressive expression that showed one shouldn't come closer to him."Oh no! Our poor Brooke! She only just got released and she's gone again!" Yolanda was on the other side of the room crying her eyes out.This sound made Levi's fingers clench with every passing second. Why act like she cares?"Mr Lloyd, do you know who could be behind this?" A cop was asking Levi for the umpteenth time yet was receiving no response.Luis walked up to them furiously and pointed at him. "How dare you act nonchalant?! Officer, hold him responsible if anything happens to my daughter!"Levi's face hardened but he refused to say a word and just sat there listening to Luis' rants. Images of Brooklyn's current state kept on running through his mind and he almost couldn't breathe."Levi!" The door the cops were entering and leaving through suddenl

Brooklyn was walking down the hallway to her room when she felt someone sprinted across the hallway. She didn't think too much about it as she was still upset about what had happened in the sitting room.She has never seen her father so angry and that too at his own brother. These days, she feels her father is gradually turning into someone they all don't know anymore.Not to mention the cold war he has been engaging with these days.Tap!She halted when she saw the shadow of the person sprinting across the hallway again. She was suddenly scared and called out, "Who is there?!"No one answered her and she turned around. The hallway was silent. "Maybe I'm just being paranoid," She mumbled to herself.No one could get into this house anyway. But as she shook her thoughts away and took another step, someone suddenly strangled her from behind."Ah—" Her shout was muffled as a cloth was put over her nose. Her body went paralyzed with fear as she realized what was happening.She wanted to s

"This wasn't what we both agreed to. I don't agree to this," Billy kicked a chair as he flared.Noah Lloyd didn't bat an eye at his actions. He simply said, "If you want to get Levi, this will be your only way.""Why do I have to go in there and get his wife himself? You have so many men they could easily carry out the job. Why me? It feels like you are sending me straight to the enemy's trap."Billy hated to admit it but he was a bit scared about facing Levi. Now he has to find a way to sneak into the Hernandez family residence himself, knock Brooklyn out and find a way to sneak her out.Noah's plan didn't sound feasible to him and he wasn't a fool. No way will he do that.Noah smiled craftily. He knew it. Billy wasn't as foolish as he thinks so there was no way he could keep him now. He just has to get rid of him.Besides, the dumbo also wants his ring. All the more reason for him not to survive but first he had to convince the fool."Your first attempt at the hospital was a complet

"I'm certainly not a tour guide now."Levi chuckled at Juan's words but waited for him to continue. He relished the taste of the first food he grabbed and wondered if Brooklyn had her dinner yet."I think... I should keep what I do as a secret but it has nothing to do with our family's business.""That's not fair uncle. What's with the suspense?" Levi frowned and Juan laughed.The former was quite curious about this eldest son of Hernandez's family that has managed to evade the discerning eyes of paparazzi for years.Although Juan was estranged from the family, he appeared to be living better than his younger brother, Luis.Heck if they were to stand together one wouldn't be able to judge who was the younger one or the older one."Let's keep that aside now. Maybe someday... What I just want to say is whatever my brother does, just know he means no harm. He is ambitious and all but doesn't take it to heart. Go easy on him."Levi paused and swallowed the food in his mouth. One would hav
