"Raise your hand thrice too and I will call, gentlemen!" Dave yelled, raising his cards as the dealer revealed his.

It was hilarious. The shock on Dave's face when he saw Louis's card fitted everything, three loves and two flowers, same with the dealers.

Henry lost too, but that was the plan. "Can the casino host ensure Mr. Dave Taiwan pays for the deal? Remember, he agreed to pay all if he loses?"

Dave glaring coldly at Henry, yelled, " We're the Taiwans. We live up to our promises and will never go back on our words."

"Alright, proceed, Mr. Dave," the dealer replied, calculating the chips, "Since you tripled the raise and y'all agreed not to use the casino standards, the pot's total is thirty million dollars."

"Waoh, that's a lot of money and the most expensive poker game ever to be played in the casino," one of the onlookers said.

Henry nodded, watching Dave tap into his phone. Let the game begin!

"What?" Dave yelled, staring surprised at his phone. His accounts were blocked

    "Alright, four of the Taiwan companies—the insurance and engineering companies, our banks all over the world, the Taiwan airline, and the transportation companies— I guess that's thirty billion or more," Dave replied weakly, knowing the Taiwan family just lost their position as the richest and most powerful in the world.Louis clicked some buttons on his phone, humming a tune: "Yeah, it's up to thirty billion dollars; can we sign an agreement?"The dealer brought forward some papers and said, "Yes, these are the agreement papers you need to sign, Mr. Taiwan, and please note that everything you mentioned can't be revoked. This is your final decision on using the aforementioned companies as a payment to your bet, okay?"Dave collected the papers, mumbling, "Yeah, yeah. I agree, and I'm not revoking anything. I told you the Taiwanese always cleared their debts. Have a good night, Henry. I hope you take good care of my company.""Wait a second," Henry called, grinning widely at the crowd.

    The meeting was swift and interesting. He got to know the team leads, executives, and the new projects they were working on. He gave brief instructions and introduced Louis as his right-hand man. The staff were accommodating, and he appreciated it. He decided to give them a bonus due to the salary issues Dave hadn't settled before he handed over the companies.Although he was planning to overlook the unpaid salaries and file a suit against Dave, he had other high priorities to take care of, and Dave wasn't part of them.He cleared his throat, getting up. "Louis would send a bonus to y'all to substitute for the unpaid salaries. I hope we continue working on great terms, everyone."An I.T. manager rose, smiling amidst the applause, and said, "On behalf of the staff members, we say a big thank you, Mr. Henry Cavil. Once again, welcome to the company. We promise to give our best services and experiences.""I would appreciate that. All project managers should report to me on projects they

    "I still believe you should allow Mike to go to swimming classes. You should have seen him today. He was fast like a thunderbolt! I promise to be with him at all times if you agree to this." Louis growled.Henry gave a shrug, tired of listening to Louis. The man could make little things trivial. He had already given consent to the nanny, and he knew Louis was aware, but the man just loved to make him talk."You can take him to the swimming classes, Louis. I already gave my consent, and don't forget I was there. You kept shouting and making us the center of attraction until I left for a meeting!"Louis flashed his teeth and said, "You were there but not around to see his second performance. Thanks for the privilege. I will keep you updated on our son's progress."Henry chuckled, "Our son? When did you adopt Mike?""When you employed me, Henry, I've had updates from the lawyers. They've delivered the letter, so you might get a visit from a furious stepmother soon or maybe tonight," Loui

    Henry shrugged. He didn't care. His heart was dark for them now, and lashing out embarrassments on them was his new favorite hobby. Staring at her reminded him of the night her father drenched his clothes in red wine because he came late for an event.He had hated his life that day, but forgave her because of the love he had for her. Pathetic."You're a worthless piece of trash, Evelyne, and that's what you will ever be! Now, leave with your husband!"Jake stared coldly at him and said, "Don't talk to my wife that way, Henry! We would leave your hotel, but we won't forget this!"Henry signaled to the guards, "Take them out and don't let them in ever again, alright?""Henry!" Evelyne shrieked, fighting the guards and trying to hold on to her torn dress. "I hate you, Henry! I hate you!"He grinned, watching the scene. The guests were having a free show today, obviously. They were taking pictures and laughing at Jake's poor attempt to cover Evelyne properly. The payback was sweet. He was

    The horse ride was beautiful. Mike kept pointing at birds, a mongoose, even a parrot. Henry chuckled, answering the curious questions the boy threw at him.He took Mike around the large farm lands and showed him different fruits and grains. Some workers were around, so Henry let them answer his questions. The note pad was almost filled up by the time they were on their way home.He noticed a black range Rover parked outside the driveway and wondered who the security guard allowed in while he was away. Louis wasn't around when he stepped in but his stepmother and Jerry. He could guess what they came from, but didn't want to push.He instructed one of the housekeepers to take Mike upstairs and allow him to visit one of his friends living at the end of the large estate.Mrs Cavil coughed, standing up immediately Henry stepped in, said, "Good afternoon Henry, I apologize for my behavior yesterday. I was just angry about how things have turned out ever since you returned. I apologize for e

    The Doreen Xbox was almost done. Henry drove one to test the engines and the gears. They worked perfectly well, and there were no issues with the gears or the engine."Alright, team. We can test-drive the others and write our reports. If anyone feels any of the vehicles have issues, please report them to the engineers. This is a big project, and I don't want fatalities to happen to any of our consumers.""Alright, sir. We would let you know. The other branches want to know when we are delivering the vehicles, though. I already told them in two days, is that fine?" Collins asked.Henry couldn't still understand how Collins became nice and good to him, but he was glad the once-upon-a-time bully was taking his job seriously and ensuring the Doreen Xboxes project was successful."Tell them in three days time. We are still test driving one hundred vehicles, and you know we can't rush the process because of the specialities of the car."Collins gulped, massaging the side of his neck. "Okay,

  • My Wealth System    Need Your Help

    Henry stood up, staring coldly at him. "That's not my business, Dave, and you would do well to stay away from me." "Have a good day ahead."He paused at the doorway when Dave yelled his name. "Henry, we need your help, please!""I don't work with backstabbers!"The chauffeur drove him home. He wasn't in the mood to go through other meetings and send texts to the teams; he rescheduled a video conferencing meeting and also sent follow-up messages to Collins on the test drive. They had yet to send their reports.Dave thought he could distract Henry from his goals. He had a good feeling his stepmother had hands in this. She was definitely looking for ways to get back to him for resurrecting the rape case, and she believed making him invest in the Taiwanese companies was a way to teach him a lesson. Well, she failed, and the case is happening tomorrow. The judge had sent police officers to Kimberly's home, and the media have been talking about it all week.Getting Jerry into jail wasn't a

    That aside, he brushed it off, hoping the judge would overlook his errors. "According to Jerry, he paid you ten million dollars, which you collected to keep quiet." "Your bank statements show you received the money that night, right?"Kimberly smiled, folding her arms. "Yes, I did because he threatened to shoot me down there." Immediately, the crowd protested loudly, calling Jerry all manner of names. Kimberly ignored the protests and continued, "If you check my bank statements again, I didn't spend the money." It's still there from twelve years ago. "Nothing can buy my silence."The crowd exploded with applause. It took the judge minutes to make them keep quiet."Can this courthouse be quiet, please?" she ordered, taking a swift look at the crowd to catch an erring individual. "The defendant attorney should continue and ask no more misleading questions."Jake's lawyer nodded and said, "Okay, can you walk us through what happened after the rape incident?" "Did you call the cops or go
