Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 098: Visiting Hernandezes Corp
Seeing the stunned look on her face, Levi arched a brow. He gestured to her again and said, "Where is the chain?"Perhaps she didn't understand him the first time."Uhmm actually I didn't have my breakfast before coming here. Shall we order something first?" She smiled nervously.Levi didn't think too much of it and motioned for her to order something.When she passed the menu to him, his eyes glazed over a section where banana bread was written and they darkened."Just order for yourself."Sabre frowned and returned the menu to the waiter. She felt a bit irritated at how impatient he looked and didn't want to seem like the one delaying him.So she reached into her bag and brought out the chain. She stretched it to Levi who collected it without hesitation."It's mine," He nodded as he put it away.The waiter returned with her order and as she set the table, Levi stood, dropping a wad of dollar notes.It was obviously more than the price of what Sabre had ordered because the waiter was

"Boss lady, what about Tyson's? I do feel their proposal was quite on point and profitable so—" The director laying out his complaint to Brooklyn suddenly paused as the conference doors swung open.This was because of the men passing by who also came to a stop when the doors opened.They were more focused on the unfamiliar one with a paper bag in his hand.Levi looked at the group of people behind Brooklyn with a thoughtful look. They seemed to have just had a meeting and were apparently unsatisfied with the outcome of the meeting.Besides, if he heard clearly, the director just mentioned Tyson. Is it the same Micheal Tyson he knows?Does Brooklyn have any business transactions with that man? His eyes darkened slightly at this thought.That was the same man Zoe had cheated on him with and he wouldn't want Brooklyn to have any form of association with him."You are here?" Brooklyn's expression showed that she was both pleased and surprised to see him.The director who was about to ques

Brooklyn was heading home when she received a call midway and had to return to the company. On the other hand, Levi contemplated hard.Just as the car took the turning to the Hernandez's family residence, he suddenly ordered, "Turn around."The chauffeur was startled. "Huh sir?""Turn around," Levi repeated with a stiff face. He clutched the key in his hand and thought; he had to check it out.So the chauffeur turned the car around and headed to Brooklyn's villa.After about an hour, they came to a stop and Levi rushed out of the car. The chauffeur was left behind feeling confused."Good day young master.""Good day sir."Levi nodded absentmindedly at the greetings of the servants as he headed to Thomas' room.When he got there, he checked through the closet and found the safe box.That was when he realized when he held it in his arms, his ring glittered even more brightly.Click!He set the box on the table and inserted the key to the lock hole. The box lid gave way immediately and no

Levi saw that the machine had beeped red showing he wasn't granted access so he tried to reach for the card to leave and avoid further embarrassment.However, the banker attending to him snatched back the card and urged him."Sir, you should try another finger. It might be a problem with our device. Try the second finger."Levi didn't argue with him and did just as he said but—Beep![Access not granted]The smile on the banker's face finally disappeared. It was quickly replaced with a cold expression."Call the security!" He suddenly yelled in a cold tone.Levi was taken aback. How? What? Why??? He only wanted to try to see if he could gain access to the card. Why was the security being called?In a calm tone, he demanded, "Can I have my card back?""You imposter!" Someone slammed him from the little crowd that had gathered."How dare you walk in here with our bank card and try to pose like someone else?"This bank card can never be replicated so they quickly concluded Levi must have

"Sir, is that all your request?" The bank manager wiped off the sweat from his brows again.He had thought the young master was going to act difficult like the other wealthy clients he had encountered but his requests were actually very simple."Yes," Levi stepped away and glanced at his watch. He saw that time had already gone within a twinkle of an eye so he wanted to leave.The manager quickly escorted and as they walked, he dutifully informed him,"Sir, if you have other huge withdrawals, transfers or perhaps more investments you want to make, you don't have to come all the way to the bank. You just have to give me a call. I'll handle everything for you."Levi's lips tugged slightly. So this was the feeling of being served and treated like a wealthy person. This feeling was heavenly."Okay. I'll keep that in mind."The manager was relieved at his response and even sucked up to him."Also young master, as your personal account manager, I'll check into more bonds, stocks and shares t

"Will!" Dennis was offended on Levi's behalf.However Will wasn't at all afraid of him. Instead, he even gave him an indifferent look.Everyone already knows the CEO is resigning and someone else has purchased the company so why should he still act like a respectful and loyal dog to this Dennis?Dennis understood his attitude immediately and his facial expression changed.He wasn't even gone yet and there were already people anticipating that.However, he couldn't act on his own this time so he turned to Levi. The latter simply mouthed, "He's one of them. Get rid of him."Dennis didn't have to be told twice. He stepped aside and made a call. Will, completely oblivious to what was happening, still gave Levi a mocking look."Now that the CEO has changed, are you here to plead for your return?" He laughed sarcastically."I already told you that day even if you kneel at my feet, you will never be allowed to return here.""Because you are the CEO?" Levi gave him a befitting reply.Will was

Few minutes later, Brooklyn held a half eaten apple as she gaped at Levi who was wearing an apron in amazement.He moved too quickly, she could barely tell how he was doing it but the aroma from whatever he was cooking did nothing to quench her hunger.Click!He switched off the cooker and dropped the pot before proceeding to dish out the food.If it wasn't for the last ounce of self-esteem she had, she would have salivated."You really can cook. I thought you were kidding earlier."Levi chuckled at her words but didn't respond as he was laying out the dishes on a tray before removing his gloves."The dining or—""Our room," She cut him off with a smile. Her eyes flickering brightly.She got off the kitchen island and tossed the half eaten apple into a trash can before trailing after him sheepishly.After Levi had cleared off the dirty dishes and returned to the room; preparing to take a shower, Brooklyn was still patting her now round stomach with a satisfied look.He shook his head

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
229: End Of You
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
227: Familial Ties
"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
