Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 153: Dangers Of The Ring
"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 Lloyd: Race To The Top 154: The Result
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
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 155: Highs And Lows
"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
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 157: New Role
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
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 158: An Unexpected Discovery
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

"Hey," Levi called out as he pulled his suitcase aside as he bolted the door behind him. "Isn't it like dawn over there? You are awake?""Hmm mmm," Brooklyn nodded; her appearance slightly disheveled on the phone screen. She brushed off the hair strands that had gathered up like a bird nest on her head."I couldn't sleep and when I saw your message, I thought to call you. How are you?""I'm jet lagged," Levi shrugged as he removed his shoes and got into the bathroom.He dropped the phone on the sink casually and began to undress. Brooklyn held back a cough then. "What are you doing? Should I call—""Not like you haven't seen me in my birthday suit before."She almost choked at his shamelessness. But the next words he said caused her blush to disappear."Natalia's here.""Nata... What?" She sat up almost immediately."Wow, why am I the last person to know my wife has a cousin or an uncle somewhere?"Brooklyn almost facepalmed. Seriously? Mischievously, she arched her brows at him and s
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 160: Capable Big Boss
"This meeting is dismissed," CEO Dennis concluded and everyone clapped. They were in awe of the suggestions Levi had mentioned during their limited meeting.When he walked in earlier, they felt they were already veterans and superiors in the department and didn't need help from a junior reporter who only climbed up the ranks mysteriously.But the suggestions and words that Levi had uttered during the meeting changed their mindset instantly."Sir, we'll carry on with your instructions right away," A senior reporter told him and he nodded.He pointed at Sam, Alex and one other reporter. "You will come with me and meet with the private investigators. Others should carry out the duties I have assigned to them.""Right away sir," the reporters responded with an enthusiasm that hasn't been felt for years and dispersed leaving only the ones Levi had pointed out.Once the conference room was scanty, CEO Dennis voiced out his concerns as he led them out, "Young master, are you certain your sug

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
