Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 112: Underworld in Uproar
When Levi returned to the Hernandezes residence, the entire place was silent but there were some maids going about trying to finish their tasks and rest for the day.As he passed by one of the maids who was unaware of his presence because she was engrossed with what she was watching, he suddenly heard a news anchor say,"Popular don king, Dominique, fatally humiliated and handed over to the police by a source who chooses to remain anonymous.""What explosive news! It's a common thought that someone like Dominique won't be captured but we were proved wrong. He probably messed with the wrong person this time."Levi's lips curled slightly at the last sentence but without a bit of reaction, he walked away.Brooklyn was fast asleep when he slipped into the room. He walked to the foot of the bed and watched her for a second before backing away.He spent quite some time in the bathtub, reliving everything that's happened. He thought of Diana's words and wondered why Hannah always mentioned h
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 113: The Confrontation
"Hey c'mon," Levi tried to hold hands with Brooklyn on the way to the dinning but she ignored him all because he got her clothes so wet she had to change.It was funny seeing her act mad though and so he couldn't keep the smile off his face.But this smile quickly vanished when they got to the dining and he just so happened to make eye contact with his father-in-law.Luis had this smug look on his slightly wrinkled face which was a bit suspicious to Levi because it appeared to him like the old man knew something or he was planning something mischievous.But his eyes didn't stray for too long as he held out a chair for Brooklyn to sit before taking his seat.Hector made faces to Brooklyn at his lovey-dovey while the latter pointed a finger in his direction.But Levi was aware Luis sneered when he did that.'I still can't tell what exactly is this man's problem with me. Is it the fact that I married his daughter or I'm not that scumbag, Larry?'"Mother!" Yolanda's sickly sweet voice dis
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 114: Divorce
"Levi," Brooklyn called out as soon as she walked into the room. With an aggrieved face, she added, "What was all that?"She didn't respond but she walked to Levi and was sitting on the swiveling chair in front of the PC.It was when she got closer that she saw the file in his hands. Her eyes squinted as she realized it was his copy of their agreement.Is he seriously considering divorcing her?Her insides boiled with rage as she scowled threateningly,"Let me tell you. I won't be signing any bullshit of divorce papers and you... Don't even think of letting me go. We are bound in this lifetime. You can try in your next lifetime."Her loud voice gradually grew low and hoarse as she hit him on the back. "How could you even think of something like that? What made you think I'll let you go? You..."Her eyes widened as he turned the swiveling chair around and suddenly caught her wrist. He pulled her to sit on him and suddenly smiled cheekily."And what made you think I was going to divorce
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 116: Curious About Him
"Oh, you've heard of me? I only created this account a week ago or so."Brooklyn couldn't believe Levi was able to say these words with an oblivious and serious face. Does he have any idea how he has been creating waves with his strategic success in the stock market?"You..." She was speechless and didn't bother wasting time explaining to him.She sat on him and he was all too obliged to hold her. She collected the mouse cursor and navigated to his dashboard.Her eyes widened slightly when she saw the history and account of his earnings. It was even more than she had heard.Turning to look at him, the first words that came out of her mouth was, "Husband, who exactly are you?"Levi threw his head back and laughed. "Who do you think I am?"His response wasn't explicit or explanatory. Brooklyn's eyes narrowed as she stared into his eyes.Now she was more curious about what this husband of hers does. The reports she had gotten from her men had no news about his occupation like it was deli
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 117: Bring His Head!
"You are welcome to join me if you want to know more," Levi teased a fuming Brooke from a little crack at the walk-in closet.She threw a piece of clothing in his way. "It isn't fair. Why don't you tell me things about you? Like how you have a sister I never knew about.""I only just found out about her. Besides, you don't tell me things about you either.""You..." Brooklyn was exasperated. "That's it. I'm leaving without you.""Simple... Then we both miss the flight," Levi gave her a cheeky smile and turned away."Levi!"_____________The Continental Times was practically bustling with energy and activity as employees walked by, each one dealing with his affairs.Not even daring to gather up and gossip as usual as they were all aware the big boss was on the top floor.They were all itching to know what the purpose of his presence was and why he came today again.Besides, the female employees wanted to steal more glimpse at their handsome big boss.Meanwhile, on the top floor, Levi wa
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 118: Being Followed
As two black Rolls-Royce sped on the highway, a jeep accompanied with some bikes tailed them. At first, it wasn't obvious but some observant people in the luxurious vehicles soon noticed."Young master."Levi tapped his fingers on the leather cushion. His eyes closed with the other palm on his face while he waited for James to come through the mini speaker in the car again."It seems like we are being followed."Tap!Levi's fingers tapped on the cushion one more time and stopped abruptly."I noticed."Before laying back, he had seen a glimpse of the jeep and the bikes some distance away from them. He had his suspicions but he wasn't too sure.Now that James mentioned it, it cleared his doubts. His closed eyes hid away his cold expression as he spat out,"Let's split. When you get them, don't let them go. You must find out who sent them."'I don't necessarily just strike against anyone but if you seek my animosity, you will get it!' he thought."Got it. We'll distract them. The chauffe
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 119: Surprise Attack!
The chauffeur managed to stop the car before it hit a pole but there was still a small collision causing the ones behind to jolt forward.Thankfully, their seat belts were on which avoided them being thrown off their seats."Young master, I already called for backup. James caught up with the other group," The guard whispered as he reached out to undo Levi's seat belt before opening the door.It wasn't advisable for them to remain in the car as these goons could do anything."Young master, you should stay here. I can handle them," he informed Levi as they crept out.The chauffeur and Levi crouched by one side of the car while the chauffeur charged out to attack the goons.Levi peeked out and saw that there were about six to seven masked goons fighting against the guard. Although he was well trained, he could easily be overpowered.Bang!The chauffeur covered his ears in fear as a bullet hit the car they were hiding behind."That's it," Levi gritted his teeth and stepped out. One of the
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 120: Meeting Camille
"Oh mon Dieu, il est tellement beau!""Il a l'air du même âge que mon mari mais a réussi à rester en forme.""Prenons une photo de lui. Ça durera plus longtemps."Levi frowned as his eyes opened at these not particularly hushed whispers. He turned around just in time to hear the low shutter of a phone camera.His sleep-filled eyes squinted at the young, beautiful French ladies sitting some chairs away from him.One hurriedly hid her phone when he turned around and he could hear her tell her friends, "Et je prie pour que nous soyons assis dans les mêmes sièges."His frown deepened. He understood the first three sentences they whispered while he was still asleep."Oh my God, he is so handsome!""He looks the same age as my husband but has managed to stay in shape."Then one of them suggested, "Let's take a picture of him. It will last longer."That was when he turned around and now one was even saying, "I pray we are seated in the same seats."Were they referring to him? Aren't they ma

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
233: Game Over II
"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
230: Lloyd's of Wales
"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
228: Don't Dare Me
"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
