Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 014: Meeting Larry Rockefeller
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
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 019: Ambushed
Tap.Tap.Tap.Levi was quick to notice the footsteps behind him just as he got out of the company although they tried hard not to arouse attention.His eyes flickered with a cold light. He must have offended that thin boss just now. But sending people against him after denying him a job... Isn't that too petty?"Ha, I never expected our prey to be so foolish. He walked right into our trap. I bet we'll finish him off in thirty seconds," One of the thugs laughed lightly as Levi suddenly took a turn off the main road and walked into an alley."Yes, don't forget the instructions. We have to break his legs and make sure he is carried back home today. How dare he provoke our boss?"Pak!With his left hand, Levi stops the rod that attacked him from behind."Hey you bastard! Let go!" He turned around to see the thug behind him struggling to collect the rod.The other five thugs were surprised. They didn't expect Levi to be so vigilant.One of them laughed coldly, "You are quite impressive but
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 020: The Ring's Origin
"Are you sure about this? Look at the image closely," The man urged his friend. The grocer peered at the image and flicked his fingers."Sam, I cannot be mistaken about this. I have—" His words trailed off when he finally realized where he had seen it.Wasn't this the same ring he and Levi tried to pull off the other night but refused to come off?"Wait, why do you have this?" He squinted at Sam."This is my new research. This artifact is quite special and whoever is able to produce it for the museum will receive a handsome reward."'It isn't safe to tell too many people about the true origin of the Versatilian Band,' Sam thought as he looked at the ring's image with a profound look. 'If they get to know, it possesses special powers such as allowing the wearer to rapidly acquire proficiency in various skills or enabling the wearer to quickly grasp and excel in a wide range of talents, making them a master of many trades... It might fall into the wrong hands.'Sam tapped on the file ab
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 021: Worthless Lowlife
"There's only two of us here. Who else could I be talking to?" Jasmine rolled her eyes."Oh," Levi's nonchalant words and expressions caught her off guard. She frowned and gritted her teeth."What do you mean by that? What are you even doing here? Has the standards of this restaurant dropped so low that they even allow riffraffs in?""Miss!" The receptionist cuts in with a displeased look, completely different from the polite one she gave Levi earlier."Shut up," Jasmine shot her a glare. "You are just a mere receptionist. How dare you disrupt our conversation? Do you have any etiquette for your job?""At least, she has simple etiquette to know when a customer is being disrespectful unlike some people that just speak without thinking.""How dare you?" Jasmine clenched her fists. She gave his appearance a disgusted look."I am better than someone that relied on his wife's resources and greedily held on even after knowing he is not her worth. I will never understand what Zoey saw in you
