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
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
"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

The high ceilings, marble floors and opulent chandeliers added to the dazzling beauty of W.Bruford jewelry store.It was the largest store in the capital city and the most popular one amongst the high class. Display cases glittering with exquisite jewelry were arranged in an orderly manner. The entire place smelt of expensive perfume and luxury.A soft, classical music was playing in the background and there was also a group of attentive sales people going up and down attending to people.Despite this, no one looked in Levi's direction when he walked in. Probably because of how casually he was dressed.Other customers there were dressed so sophisticatedly to the peak so although it was unreasonable to think this way, it was understandable."Excuse me," Levi had to walk up to one of the saleswomen himself. "Where is the ring section located?"Instead of responding, the woman quickly gave his physical appearance a prudish, scrutinizing gaze.Looking up and seeing the little frown on his
"Initials are something that can be forged despite their difficulty. Receipts are substantial proof. Where is yours?" Levi asked her coldly again."Just show them the receipt and end all these. You'll even get a refund," Someone yelled out from the little crowd behind.The woman was already fidgeting. How could she show a receipt when there wasn't one? She was already looking around as if searching for someone.Levi picked up every little action and was convinced of foul play.But just then, a saleswoman walked out. "Sir, we'll handle this from here. This woman will be taken to the manager's office."She tried to collect the remaining pieces of necklace in his hand which he held unto.With a cold, piercing gaze that was like he could see through her, he spat out, "Where were you when she was assaulting your colleague?"The saleswoman didn't expect him to be so blunt in front of so many people and hesitated to respond."Let her present her receipt and you can take her to your manager's
[Payment Declined!][This transaction cannot be processed]Just like Oliver predicted, he turned to Levi and laughed in his face. "Bwah ha ha ha!!!"The salesgirl: "...""Sir, this has never happened in our store before and I have confirmed the Internet connection is working so there must be a problem with your card," the cashier spoke politely as she returned the card to Levi who accepted it with an expressionless face."Why do you even bother Ava? Losing your face like this is quite embarrassing," The saleswoman from earlier led the customers she had assisted to the counter just then.Ding!The desktop vibrated and the cashier smiled as she returned the card to the other customers."Thank you for shopping with us."The saleswoman found this an opportunity to give Ava a stink eye mocking her."What are you still doing here? If you have the littlest of dignity, you would scurry out of here and head to pawn stores. You will find jewelry you can afford there," Oliver snapped sarcasticall
