"Yes sir, they also found out SK is one of the largest suppliers in the city. They have secretly investigated to find if there were any more suspicious deaths pertaining to the drugs."Levi looked up at his phone as Dennis flipped through a file on the screen."Yes, there have been recorded cases of deaths of patients dealing with dementia and other diseases but most recorded death cases are of patients dealing with dementia."Levi's fists clenched around the arm of the swivelling chair he was sitting on but he didn't say anything."Asides that, some of the private investigators who infiltrated the company as spies also found out that some technicians have reportedly gone missing in the pharmaceutical company in the past. When the families of the missing people tried to voice out, the news had been mysteriously buried."Levi's forehead creased and he still didn't say a word so Dennis continued his report."Others who are positioned in the city lab where most of the drugs undergo testi
Unlike the first time Levi came to the Lloyd's family residence, he didn't seem so astonished at the splendid building anymore.Now that the chauffeur mentioned it, he realized the building layout design was actually similar to those grand royal buildings.Pushing the disturbing thoughts away from his head, he focused on Lincoln who appeared at doorstep."It's rude to keep your host waiting. Dinner's been ready for some minutes now.""Glad to see you too," Levi gave him a smile that made him cringe and shudder before turning around to lead the way in. Leo's mother, Marie, was setting up some plates on the table."Psst, I thought rich people are supposed to have servants to deal with all these," Levi whispered to Lincoln before his face lit up with a smile."We do alright. My mom just likes to do all these herself.""Hello auntie," Levi greeted Marie warmly. Unlike the first time he had addressed her as mother, this felt more natural.She dropped the remaining cutlery on the table and
"Did you just pull my hair?" Levi's eyes darkened."No, why would I do that? There was something stuck in your hair which I apparently didn't manage to get out since you freaked out," Lincoln shrugged, skillfully hiding away the hair strands he had pulled out.Levi squinted dangerously and stood. "I'll just head to the restroom and get it off myself."A servant hurried over to lead him out. But just as he stepped out, he could hear grandfather Lloyd's hushed tone."Boy, what did you do that for?"Then Lincoln's voice followed, "I have this gut feeling, grandfather. I just have to find out what it is. All these can't be mere coincidences."Levi's expression turned taut as he reached out to stroke his hair which didn't hurt so much now.What did that fucking Lincoln do? Why does it feel like it has to do with him pulling at his hair just now?"This way sir," The servant called out to him when he suddenly stopped.He followed the servant to the restroom. He couldn't find anything in his
Levi couldn't see Gregory's expression from the other side but could sense it was as cold as his."Mr Lloyd, I already thought of it and figured out there is nothing I could possibly offer you but wouldn't it be wise to be for us than against us."He was quoting the exact same thing Dennis had tried to tell Levi earlier."My company is one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in the city and we've got subsidiaries all over the world. All because someone lodged a complaint without factual evidence doesn't mean we are guilty.""If you are not guilty like you have claimed Mr Gregory, why have you reached out to me?" Levi responded coyly.His hand slid into his pocket as he drawled lazily, "You've got nothing to fear if you are not guilty as charged. We are only but a small group of print media company. We can't be compared to the almighty SK company."Gregory's eyes narrowed at Levi's word. He sensed this man was a hard nut to crack. How could he just proclaim his media company as sma
"Unlike a paternity test where the parties involved are usually parent and child relationship, this is a test between the grandparent and the child so the maximum shared DNA percentage between them can only be around twenty five percent," the doctor explained to his friend who was still reeling in shock."So my dear friend, medically, the people involved in this DNA test are biologically related."Lincoln trembled with joy. He knew it. His gut feeling couldn't be that wrong. He's had this feeling since he met Levi.How could someone resemble them so much and also share the same last name with them without being related?"Thank you... Thank you," His fingers shook as he brought out his phone to call Levi.He had to let him know. He was one of them. The true son of the Lloyd's. His long lost cousin. The key to finding his missing uncleHowever the call tried connecting until an automated voice came through."The person you are trying to call is currently unavailable. Try again later."T
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your hostess speaking. Flight SJ4 to San Jose is now preparing for departure. We kindly ask all passengers to proceed to the boarding gate immediately. Thank you."Brooklyn reluctantly let go of Levi as the speakers resounded. Many other passengers headed the same way were already moving towards the boarding gate."I'll call you everyday," Levi promised with a helpless chuckle seeing the forlorn expression on her face.It was the first time they were getting separated after being married so he could understand how she felt."Okay. I'll call you too. Don't miss me too much," She forced a smile and he shook his head helplessly. Who was missing who?He waved at her, held his luggage and turned away. As he walked towards the boarding gate, he went through his phone.They were going to ask them to switch off their mobile phones when they go on board."Lincoln?" His brows arched when he saw the recorded voice message from Lincoln amongst the notifications on h
Tyson's Group HQ,"Mr Lloyd?" Micheal couldn't contain his astonishment when he heard the report his assistant just told him."Yes sir. Mr Lloyd," Sensing the unfamiliarity on his boss' face, the assistant went on to the reports."My Lloyd was an unnamed man in the city a few weeks ago until he acquired the three biggest print media companies in the city. NewsQuill, the Chronicles and the Continental Times."Michael's forehead knitted when he heard this. This mysterious Mr Lloyd doesn't sound like an ordinary person.Someone that could be able to obtain those companies all at once must be a powerful and wealthy person. But what he couldn't understand was how he got into the bad books of this mister.However, he waved his hands to gesture to the assistant to carry on his speech."The company's shares have been falling drastically recently and some of the shareholders were contemplating selling it off before it became hot potatoes."The assistant tipped up his glass frame and peered int
When they arrived at Hernandez's family residence, Levi felt like the place looked slightly different even though he had only been away for a short while.He didn't sense anything amiss as he walked in with the guards trailing behind him, one holding his luggage."Where's grandfather? Everyone?" He turned to ask James."The young missus' father is out for a while with his wife. The old madam caught a cold so—"Before James could complete his sentence, Levi turned away from his initial direction and headed to the grandmother Hernandez's room."Young master," James called out helplessly.He wanted to inform him that these past few days he and the young missus had been away, they had received some visitors but Levi didn't appear to want to listen to anything else he had to say.Knock!Knock!Levi went into the room without waiting for a response. Grandfather Hernandez was sitting by the bedside holding his wife's hands."You are back?" He called out as Levi rushed to the bed."Yes grandf
