***** 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
*****“You imbeciles, why the heck do you things have me waiting and honking at the gate since?”As soon as the SUV car with a completely black color came to a halt, the door was opened and Ethan’s father jumped out ferociously.The first thing he did was roar at the top of his lungs, frightening not only the security guards but the Assistant Manager and the two elderly men at her sides as well.Ethan’s father glared fiercely at them all for a moment before he finally gazed around, as though he were searching for something.“Are these the only remaining workers of this bank?” His voice was no longer loud, but now exceptionally cold and was directed at the assistant manager.“I…”The assistant manager, unlike her previous self shivered dearly before carefully speaking without daring to raise her head.“No, master. Everybody else is inside.”Just as she said this, the atmosphere there became heavy, and suddenly, the temperature began to lower.“How many times have I said it that I want
***** “Is this how you welcome your master?” Gazing at the elderly man before him, who appeared several times different compared to the spineless and feeble old foggey in his mind, Williams’ Uncle couldn’t help but frown intensely. He couldn’t help but ponder where the elderly man had suddenly gained the courage he possessed today to oppose his commands, but since he had something much more crucial to do, he decided to let go. He waved his hands in a do not-be bothered manner when he saw the elderly man attempting to explain something to him, or so he thought. “Proceed to do what I instructed you to do,” he said to the elderly man; however, the elderly man only furrowed his brows, appearing perplexed. “May I inquire what it was you instructed me to do?” “You…” Williams’ Uncle nearly lost his composure again, but he took a deep breath before glaring at the elderly man he had sent to go call the manager, who was now standing, like the other bank staff respectfully behind him. “D
***** As soon as the assistant manager heard this, she was astonished and couldn't react for a moment. Her mind immediately flashed back, and she recalled this time mentioned by the manager, or rather, the ex-manager. It was when the old master of the Harrison family was still alive. The lady recalled how hardworking and dedicated she had been then. She recalled how the manager had singled her out due to this dedication and started giving her all sorts of promotions. Normally, she should have never been qualified to become the assistant manager, according to her school credentials, however, the manager had made an exception for her due to her good qualities, and he had recommended her after the previous assistant manager was fired due to his dirty deeds that were found out. She, however, became extremely hungry for more power after Williams’ uncle took over and started sleeping with her. Recalling this, the lady’s heart shook for a moment, but immediately afterward, she became
***** Apart from not being able to get revenge for his destroyed gambling house, Williams’ uncle failed to get a dime from the bank, the last and only hope he has left.After being knocked away by Williams, he directly lost consciousness, only after which the identity of Williams being the owner of the bank all along and not him was revealed. Everybody was thoroughly shocked, especially the ones whom Williams had helped, the supposed new manager, and her two underlings. They were unable to react for almost five minutes before finally, the ones whom Williams had helped became extremely amazed and respectful. They praised Williams for helping them out when they needed it and not even minding how badly they had behaved to him. As for the supposed new manager and her underlying, they immediately ignored Ethan’s father who had lost consciousness on the floor and rushed toward Williams, apologizing profusely to him for his forgiveness while explaining that they were only following the
