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
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 121: Mistaken Identity
Camille's mouth hung open like that of a fish. She tried to comprehend his words and her mouth flipped close and open countlessly but she still couldn't get the right words.Levi wasn't bothered about this as he brought out a sleep mask and prepared to sleep.Although he wasn't particularly sleepy, he wanted to avoid unnecessary conversations with Camille.Who knew the latter's eyes would suddenly dart to his fingers? Besides the antique ring on one of his fingers, there was no ring on his ring finger."Ha! I knew you had to be the most jovial person I've ever met. Who goes about saying they are married without having a wedding band?""If there was even a fair stripe around your finger, I would have thought perhaps you just took it off but there is nothing of such. Which means you have never worn one before."Then she leaned over and flickered her eyes seductively. "Mr, I'm only asking for your number. I haven't even made my move yet."Levi frowned and moved away in disgust. He didn't
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 122: Mistaken Identity II
Somewhere in that particular space, a chauffeur was looking high and lows for someone. Then his phone rang and his brows contracted as he answered the call."Hello, is my husband there with you? He should have arrived now," Brooklyn was sitting on a king-sized bed in a robe, appearing like she had just gotten out of the shower.She was holding up the phone in one hand and a file in the other. She was startled when the chauffeur replied,"No missus, I haven't seen anyone and it's getting past the time I was hired for. If I still don't see anyone in the next ten minutes, I'm sorry I'll have to leave."Brooklyn dropped the file and her eyes squinted. But she still spoke with the chauffeur politely, "I apologize. If you don't see anyone in the next five minutes, you can leave. Sorry for wasting your time."The chauffeur was surprised at her humble tone and words. Most rich people he encountered were usually bratty, arrogant and impatient.Besides they would just demand a refund for a serv
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 123: Impostor!
They had just finished setting up the table when the old man from the frame earlier was led down the stairs by a young man who looked slightly older than Levi.This wasn't what caught the latter's attention. It was the striking resemblance between him and the young man.If it wasn't because of his gray eyes, Levi would have thought they were brothers."Lincoln, look, your younger brother is home. He even helped me prepare dinner," Leo's mother called out enthusiastically."I can see that," Lincoln barely gave Levi a glance before leading their grandfather to a seat.Levi quickly deduced that the Leo in question probably doesn't get along with his brother."Are you certain this brat isn't plotting to kill me because of the last time?"These words caused Levi's attention to drift to the grandfather. Leo also obviously doesn't get along with his grandfather.'Then who else does Leo get along with besides his mother and the chauffeur?' he mused thoughtfully as he took a seat and didn't res
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 124: Proof
"Our chauffeur might have made a mistake. I agree but you had every chance to tell him he was mistaken so I do not believe at all this meeting wasn't planned, mister!" Lincoln's voice was fierce."Since you said you only just arrived in the country, you may not know but we have the power to make you rot here and never return to your people until you tell us who you are and what your purpose is.""Lincoln—""Marie!" The old man tapped his walking stick on the table. "Leave this room this instant. This conversation isn't suitable for you.""But," Marie looked at Levi. She didn't know why but she felt that although this man had done something bad by impersonating her son, she saw the good in him there.If only he was indeed her Leo, how wonderful would that be. Then she wouldn't have to constantly worry over a prodigal son somewhere."Mum," Leo wasn't pleased at the look of hesitation in his mother's eyes. He glared at Levi. What has this man done to his mother?"Marie, I won't be repeat

Guards trooped out to receive Levi and his luggage while stealthily observing their new young master. They had all been astounded by the news that their young missus had gotten married.She hardly comes to this country except for business purposes but she was here a few months ago and was still very much single then.So her getting married came as a surprise. However, this young man they were seeing, asides being a bit charming than the British men they were used to here, they couldn't really see anything peculiar about him.Levi wasn't aware of their thoughts as he gazed at the mini but spectacular villa which was quite a beauty. The garden was blooming in the moonlight with beautiful flowers."They also have properties here?" He mused to himself as a housekeeper led him in.The Hernandezes also owned a property here? He really couldn't help but marvel at their wealth."Sir, the master bedroom is over there. The young missus awaits your arrival," The housekeeper pointed to a room 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

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
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
