*****“You are lying, right?”Inside a lounge, a disorganized Greg could be seen standing dumbfounded as though he had just received news stating that his lifetime of fortune and hard work had just been destroyed.Before now, he had been pacing about, waiting for some good news from Damien whom he had sent to the restaurant after escaping from Williams earlier, but now…He couldn’t react at all for some moment, making him resemble a zombie who had lost his soul, but as soon as he returned to his senses and realized that he hadn't heard wrongly, he glared ferociously at Damien and his eyes turned slightly red.With this, Greg began to ooze out killing intent which made the huge beads of sweat already covering Damien’s face become several times larger.“You are lying, right?” He growled.Damien swallowed hard with fear, then he began to do everything he could to calm his pounding heart.“Master, I wouldn’t lie about something serious like this. I immediately escaped the instance I reali
***** “What do you think about that lad?” Back in the Harrison family, inside the patriarch’s mansion, the elderly man, who still resembles someone who had just lost everything at this moment suddenly asked, looking blankly into the void. It was as though he had just spoken to the void, but a second later, a voice sounded behind him. “Master, I think the boy conceals many enigmas which were probably not known to anybody yet.” Hearing this, the elderly man’s expression and countenance did not change at all. It was as though he didn’t hear any of the things that were just said, but the voice continued. “Based on what I glimpsed from him when the gun was shot at him earlier, he probably wouldn’t have been that harmed if the master hadn’t assisted him.” “You sensed it also.” The elderly man finally reacted.His eyes regaining sight, he suddenly sighed heavily and then glanced at his back, just in time where his bodyguard nodded his head and continued. “Also, based on how Old Man Pu
***** “I have gifts for you three.” Inside the sitting room in Williams’ villa. This was the first time Williams and his three women had sat together since Williams officially made Dara his woman. “gifts?” The three ladies gazed at Williams with confusion and then exchanged glances, they then gazed back at him before finally rolling their eyes. “Are you also trying to sway us like you had influenced those people?” “So, you’ve also taken us as outsiders because we were treated as people close to you?” “Do you still take us three sisters as outsiders whom you could compensate in the name of appreciation?” The ladies appeared genuinely offended, and it showed in their entire being. Witnessing this, Williams smiled, not offended at all. In fact, he even appeared relieved by their statements. He allowed them to speak their minds before he eventually continued. “I wasn’t trying to sway you ladies, and these tokens I was talking about, I’ve planned to give them to you since days
***** “Where are we going to sleep tonight again?" Still that same night, Sarah’s mother, who was filled to the brim with irritation and helplessness could be seen complaining. Right now, the family of three could be seen sitting in front of a store, resembling a homeless trio. Sarah’s father was frowning like someone who had just lost his entire property while her mother was acting as though someone was owing her money. It was only Sarah who sat down lifelessly, acting as though she was nothing but a puppet. Her eyes were so blank that it was as though her soul had already traveled far and it was only her empty body that was sitting there. Sarah had woken up not long after most of the customers in Williams' restaurant were gone, and her parents together with her were about to be chased out mainly because the gate of the restaurant was about to be locked. At first, she wasn’t able to react, as she had expected to still be in the camp of her abductor, but thanks to the p
***** The following day, Williams was woken up by a pound on his door. “Are you okay?” All the sleepiness in his eyes was immediately wiped off when he saw a scared and nervous Dara standing outside his room with the two ladies behind her. “My... my parents… Boohoo… I... I just got a call from the police station, claiming that my parents and sister were apprehended last night for attempting to break open and steal from a store.” Williams, “_” “What?” He gazed blankly at Dara for a moment, not knowing what to say. “This…” “I… I need to go there right now.” Dara quickly said, not feeling Williams' great difficulty in reacting to her words, and then she turned around intending to jog off before recalling something. “It was Sister Laura and Penelope who told me to inform you first.” “I…” Although Williams was still dumbstruck by what he had just heard, he wasn’t going to let Dara go alone, so he forced himself to return to his senses. “Wait for me. I will follow you,” He shouted
***** “And who the heck might you be?” Gazing disdainfully at Williams as though he were a fool, the security guard at the entrance of the bank suddenly asked, but Williams wasn’t mad at all, since he knew that the guy was only likely following orders. “Just call your manager and tell them that Williams Miller is here, he will know what to do.” The security guard, “_” He gazed at Williams for an extended period of time before suddenly, his gaze became disdainful and went slowly to Williams’ feet and then back to his face, still slowly. “You…” he pointed at Williams, his tone showing his strong scorn. “You want to see my manager? You?”Behind Williams, seeing what was happening, that Williams didn’t seem to be making any progress even though he had acted as though he was the sole controller of the bank, the majority of the people whom he had called back frowned slightly with displeasure, then they became disgruntled. “So, he was nothing special after all.” “To think that I’ve w
*****“What do you people think you are doing? Are you out of your senses?!!”As soon as this exclamation sounded, everybody was first deeply startled; then the security guards halted what they were about to do, and the people they were about to attack physically also calmed down and quickly gazed hopefully at the newcomer.“Old Geezer, what do you mean? Is this something you have the right to get involved in?”After returning to her senses from the sudden cry, the assistant manager immediately shot a furious glare toward the elderly man who had just rushed out of the bank.Hearing her, the elderly man, still catching his breath, probably from the fact that he had raced there or that he had managed to prevent what had almost happened, shut his eyes for a moment. Then he opened them and ignored the lady.His eyes went across the faces there before finally settling on Williams.“Young master Williams?” He suddenly asked hopefully.Williams, “_”‘Does this elderly man know me?’While thi
***** “So, you mean my father had already anticipated everything?" Inside the manager’s office of the microfinance bank, Williams was currently seated with his face deeply furrowed. He appeared utterly lost in his thoughts as he posed this question. Never had he imagined that his father had foreseen that something was going to happen to him and that he would be denied and cheated of all his rights. That’s correct. After the manager had taken him into his office earlier, Williams didn’t waste any time and immediately asked the old man how he knew of him, as he couldn’t recall meeting the old man before. It was then that the old man began, explaining to Williams all the plans Williams' father had made with him just a day before his plane crash. He told Williams that it was this plan from Williams’ father that had made his uncle unable to have full control of the bank despite all his trials, even going as far as to try selling it, but all to no avail. He elucidates everything t
