The next morning, Perseus was getting into the car when Eris and Sherry hurried over to him. “Can I come along too?” Sherry asked. Perseus and Eris shook their heads. “No, you can't miss class.” Sherry pouted. “Why? I already missed yesterday, and since I am a topper, It doesn't matter.”Despite her words, Perseus and Eris shook their heads in disapproval. Sherry stormed her foot on the floor. “Come on, guys. It's only a day, and it's not like I am going to talk all day. I will only do my live stream and stay away from your game.” “You are not allowed to be at the company,” Eris said.“Isn't Perseus the largest shareholder? I am his fiance!” Perseus stroked Sherry's hair. “Don't worry. You can come along some other time, but not now. If we are done early, we will come pick you up.” Sherry hesitated before nodding. “Okay! That's a promise.” A driver was waiting for Sherry. Perseus waited until Sherry was in the car before he opened the car door to enter. Eris was already behind
Glancing at Ethan, he headed for his seat. “You've got my attention; what does the letter say?” Perseus took his seat in front of his computer as Ethan opened his mouth to speak, but the rest of the members surrounded him with their hands on his shoulder. “Hey, Perseus!” “How have you been?” “We made an apple cake. Do you have some?” “You didn't show up yesterday. You missed the tutorial we learned.”Perseus tried to answer all of them, but that question kept coming. Ethan glared at the others since he had just lost the attention that he was given in a few minutes. “Hey guys! He doesn't want an apple cake! Stop forcing him!” Ethan yelled. “Back to your seats, all of you!” “You are no longer the top 2 anymore.” Jeremy sneered. “That means we aren't taking orders from you.” Ethan's teeth grated. "Well, the third matters, doesn't he?”Just then, Eris stepped into the office holding a bag. Everyone's attention turned to her, but one of the gamers was the first to take the bag fr
Sherry walked out of the school building with two girls by her side. She had just spoken to them today, and they were nice to her. “I will text you later.” One of them muttered. “We will be heading off now.” Sherry nodded. “Are you coming tomorrow?” The second asked. “I am.” “See you tomorrow, then.” Sherry waved them off as they left. They were Rita and Ruth, twin sisters. They weren't identical. They were different from each other. Rita had green eyes, while Ruth had black eyes. They dyed their hair too. Rita had green and black hair, while Ruth had black and red.Sherry smiled as she headed for the car. Previously, after she had been arrested, she had made up her mind not to have any more friends, but Rita and Ruth stuck to her like glue, doing classes. She had other friends but wasn't close to them, and now the twins have managed to get her contact information. She hoped they weren't up to no good.As she approached the car, she found a lady leaning against the car with he
“I won't use the knife if you tell the cops that it was all your fault that that girl died, and my sister has nothing to do with it.” The man swung the knife in between his fingers. The corner of Sherry's eyes caught the sight of Zeppelin. He was still engaged in a fight with Scarlett. “Why are you doing this?” “What do you think? For money.” “You have never cared about your sister.”“I know, right? She was a bitch, and I only needed her to make money.” “You are dumb.” “I know—what?” “You are dumb to think that me calling the cops and admitting that I am guilty is going to release your sister. I could tell them that I lied when they came to arrest me, and it would get back to normal, but you will be arrested for threatening me with a knife.” Sherry alleged.The man's lips twitched. “If that's the case, then using the knife sounds good.” Sherry glanced at Zeppelin, who had just kicked Scarlett, and she fell unconscious. Zeppelin was dusting his palm when he glanced over at her.
Perseus stood next to his car, his hand tugging into his pocket. He was in front of the Sullivan building and staring at the security men that were standing there. “Are you having second thoughts?” Zeppelin asked as he stood next to Perseus. Perseus shook his head. “Not in the slightest. This is the second time that I have been here.” Zeppelin's head tilted. “What are you going to do then?” “I'm going to talk to them. Most especially to Roman, I guess that he has no idea his darling is in jail.” Perseus replied, grinning. Perseus began leading the way, while Zeppelin followed him. As soon as he got to the security men, they widened their hands and blocked his way. “You can't go in.” Perseus glared at them. “Could you ask your boss to come out to see me?” “We are not allowed to do anything else than stand here and stop others from entering.”Perseus was still thinking of a way to persuade them without causing a scene. Zeppelin, on the other hand, was different; he grabbed the
“Are you sure they are coming?” Perseus asked as he arched his brows at Iris. [40%]Zeppelin, on the other hand, kept glancing at the food. His stomach was grumbling. Almond arrived five minutes later, his gaze trailing all over the place. His eyes widened when he found them lying unconscious on the couch, and then he saw that the food had been touched. His fist tightened, his teeth gritting in frustration. “I'm late,” Almond muttered.Roman and Mr. Sullivan were walking down the stairs when they saw Perseus lying lifeless on the couch. Identical evil smiles appeared on both the father's and son's faces. “See, it was easier to poison them.” Roman chuckled. “I thought he was going to be smart enough to realize that the food was poisoned.”Almond turned his head to glare at them. “Shut up!” Roman wasn't listening; he kept on going on and on. “I'm going to go after everyone close to him and do exactly what he did to me.” Mr. Sullivan walked towards the couch that Perseus and Zeppel
Perseus wasn't expecting it either. It came off like a surprise. “Boss, I apologize for not greeting you first, but...” The leader tried to say, but when Timtat kicked him, his words were cut off. “This guy is my boss!” Timtat pointed at Perseus. “And you are taking orders to hit him?” The leader shook his head rapidly and glanced around as if looking for something to blame. “Fire, what's going on?” One of the gangsters interjected. “Is he the big boss you were talking about?” The leader's gaze landed on the man who had told him to kick Timtat out of that way earlier.Rising to his feet, the leader grabbed the man by the arm and threw his feet against the man's face, earning a grunt from him. “Boss, it is all his fault; he told me there was a job we could do.”“You took orders to hit my boss?” Timtat's voice was low and menacing.The leader quivered under Timtat's gaze. “I'll deal with the ones who hired me instead.”Roman's heart raced as he witnessed the escalating tension. He
“If you want your son out of jail, how about accepting my investment, and I might help you?” Perseus asked. Mr. Sullivan stared at Perseus for a while before his gaze shifted to his son, Almond. “Deal with Mr. Damon and his investment; I will go after Roman.”With that, Mr. Sullivan ran off, leaving his son there to settle the investment with Perseus. As far as Almond was concerned, he knew that his father had run off and was never going to return to the house. As soon as Mr. Sullivan wasn't in sight anymore, Zeppelin, who had been quiet all this while, finally spoke up.“I'm starving.” Perseus glanced at him. “I'll treat you to lunch after this is over.” Almond did as he was told; he told Perseus about that investment process, and soon Perseus sent the investment to Almond, which earned him the position of second-largest shareholder of the company. Since Sullivan had three companies, he could only invest in the failing one to boost it. “Can I buy you both lunch instead?” Almond
