“Is Mike back? Get him here at once.” Lord Nelson barked at his butler who was standing behind him. “Yes sir.” The butler answered in fear and hurried to Mike’s room while the angry Lord Nelson kept pacing around his room, reading the message he got from Logan.He got wind of what happened at the casino, he planned to not make an issue out of it but the message he got from Logan that made him check the garden’s footage spiked his anger level.Mike wasn’t a saint and lord nelson knew that but he could not disown him or kick him. He was aware of most of the atrocities from school but he chose to ignore it.Few minutes later, the butler returned with Mike who still had sleep in his eyes. He had returned late from work, trying to clean up the mess Logan had created in the casino so Lord nelson.“What have you done!!!!” Lord Nelson yelled. He had tried to bottle up his anger. “Why do you keep causing me problems?” Mike had been in Lord Nelson's care since he was a child.His parents passe
The night of the Moon Festival finally came for the Leinhart family. It was a special occasion, it was a night that they had been observing in their family for years, it started a way for the family members to bond and grow close, but over the year, it had become a way for people to come together to pretend to be nice to each other and show off how much money they had with the gifts that they brought for Lord Leinhart. Voices rang through the night as people mingled within the expansive Leinhart estate.The Leinharts, a distinguished family known for their wealth and social standing, were all seated in the grand hall, awaiting the festivities to commence. The room was adorned with elaborate decorations, lanterns casting a soft, ambient glow that bathed the space in a warm, golden light. A sense of anticipation lingered in the air, heightened by the significance of the night.Mia sat among her family, her eyes darting around the room, searching for someone. She looked very elegant, h
Melissa seized the opportunity to whisper loud enough for nearby ears, “Seems some people have their own sense of timing, don’t they?” Her words, tinged with mockery, were directed at Mia, suggesting that Logan’s tardiness reflected poorly on her. “He is not even hiding the fact that he has no regard for our family, what can we do with a man like this in our family. Grandpa, you should do something about him before he stains our name in public.” Lord Leihart was quiet and only took a sip of his tea. “Other son-in-laws that are from other reputable families have been here since yesterday but a nameless one chose to come late on the D-day. He doesn’t deserve to be in this family. It is a shame that Mia chose to marry someone like this.” Meliss’a mom said to support her daughter. Maliya was fuming in her seat but she had promised her husband to remain calm at the event and not exchange words with anyone. She knew that the best revenge would come whenever she returned to her position.
The room fell silent, the earlier whispers and giggles faded. Lord Leinhart’s eyes widened with genuine surprise and delight, a rare occurrence for someone like him.The Leinhart saw that he was impressed with the gift, that was the only time he was an happy expression since everyone presented their own gifts“Isn’t that the most sought after Jade that you missed at the party in France,” the butler exclaimed. “How did you get it??.” He faced Logan.The butler is close to Lord Leinharts so he was aware of how much his boss had longed to have the Jade for himself. It was the best gift that Lord Leinhart had received from anyone in a long time.It was a blue dragon Jade that was so rare, that is why the topmost people own it. “An old friend of mine gifted it to me.” Logan said. His answer spiked up murmurs amongst the Leinharts.“He has a friend that can actually afford a Jade? Maybe he is a unknown rich man, look at suit, it looked like an handmade suit that cost more than a fortune.’
“Let’s put a call through to the auction committee and find out who bought the real Jade,” The Butler suggested.“Do that right away.” Lord Leimhart instructed with a frown on his face. If Logan had brought a Jade to him, he could issue a fraud report against him and ask him to divorce his granddaughter right away. Though he wasn’t going to get his beloved Jade, he could marry his Favorite granddaughter to a good and reputable family. It was a win-win situation for him, except if the Jade was legit, he might have to bring himself to accept Logan as his in-law.“You should get a seat while we wait.” Lord Leinhart said to Logan.”He bowed to them then walked to the last table, not failing to give Mike a deadly glare and he drew a line across his neck. Logan joined Mia and her parents on the last table, he sat right next to Mia and she pulled close to him. “Hey!” She whispered.“Hi.” He replied to her. Then noticed how she was holding onto him, he didn't know if she was acting like s
Mike and Melissa wore the same disappointed look on their faces. They had expected the jade to be fake so that Logan will be kicked out from the eventsHe was pissed that Logan had been proven right and it dawned on him that he might gain more points with Lord Leinhart and at this point he might not be able to talk to Mia at all.He looked at Melissa who gave him the invite to the party. She looked like she was so lost in her thoughts. Melissa hated that her cousin still had the chance to compete with her for the position of the CEO, now that her boyfriend had brought a Jade for their grandfather he might just change his mind and make her the CEO right away.She knew she had to do something to change his mind or else she would lose to Mia once again.“The Jade might be real but it
As Logan walked quietly behind the butler, he wasn’t scared or afraid. He went there with the intention of having a conversation with Lord Leinhart.The butler opened the door for Lord Leinhart to go in. Lord Leinhart faced the butler. “Wait for us here.”“Yes, my lord.” The butler remained outside and shut the door after Logan went in.Logan bowed lowly before Lord Leinhart, it had been a while since he last bowed before anyone. Many rich people and their families were always at his beck and call but he was paying respect to Lord Leimhart because he was his wife’s grandfather. “Who are you?” Lord Leinhart said in a stern voice. “You may fool anyone including my granddaughter but you can’t fool me.”Logan thought of what to say, he knew that if he exposed himself as the president of starfall group, it could make Lord Leinhart discredit Mia’s effort in getting the contract. Also he could not tell him that he was a secret agent.It would be a ridiculous thing to say and he doubted that
“That was faster than I thought, I knew he wasn’t going to leave after all. How did you guys figure out his base?” Logan asked.“He got hit by your bullet, so they brought in a private doctor for him, the boys followed the doctor down to his base.” Sam continued.“Hmm, Are you sure that is his actual base or his passing time there? Remember Savini is a smart sneaky ass bastard, That might just be one of his plans to distract anyone who is watching him, my bullet did not hit him or his men.” Logan said.“But….” Sam was about to say another word but Logan spoke.“I used the guns we use for practice, just rubber bullets that have no effect.”Sam chuckled after hearing what his boss said.“Did you just laugh? I wonder who didn’t put my actual gun in my pouch?”“I am sorry sir.”“Keep your eyes on him. Hie is using the doctors to find out how many people are after him,” Logan stroked his chin “One more thing if any case I am not home, the mail man will bring in contract for me, drop it in
