Chapter 34“An emergency sir!The voice replied over the line.****A few minutes after, Nathan arrived at the scene.“Sir,the CPO would love to see you, over there." Speaker A said with a gestured hand.Nathan nodded his head and hauled towards the direction of chief Robinson.“Nathan, sorry for the urgency! But as you can see, a murder case which needs to be solved.“Nathan's brow creased in awe." I knew you were not recruited to solve a murder case but with your acquired skills, I know this will be a small cake for you.“Nathan didn't know whether to take his words as a compliment. He was clearly informed; the CPO was only trying to use him to solve a murder case eventhough he was a civilian.He will have to excuse himself, he wouldn't dare to act reckless without the knowledge of his back-supporter.The system brought him to this stage and he would never forget, no matter what.“When do you think I should start."Nathan questioned after the pestered silence." You can start today,
Chapter 35[Tim Tim! System alert!]Nathan watched the hologram displayed right in front of him. [Task to earn stars: no matter what you must not get mad at Hong Fei, you will have to endure or else the system will be gone.] The system went blank.Nathan chuckled, his eyes rolling around. Was the system trying to play some prank on him?No matter what Hong Fei did to him he should ever get mad. He might be poor, and still be solely depending on the system for survival but becoming an understanding husband? Never!He had forever endured the scorn, taunts, and emotional bullying from Angie his ex-girlfriend. Those things almost drove him to depression, only he could relate to the whole feelings, no one would comprehend him when he told them he was tired of life just because of a mere girl's utterance.Nagging, and women should be banned from the earth.One of the reasons he had said this; he was slapped by a woman with whom he hadn't even signed a contract.“You slapped me but I'm unfa
Chapter 36It was two days.Two days of hell!Rue was back from the United State, he didn't retired to his home instead he moved in to the main Mansion.“Oh, this is the poor doctor." Rue taunted at Nathan.Nathan although irked kept a calm demeanor.“Brother in law." He prostrated with the tips of his fingers on the floor.Rue ensured that he swept Nathan's hands off the floor, Nathan made a thudding sounds as he flipped on his back.“Oh, my bad!" Rue teased,the corner of his mouth widening. “My sister's husband just fell at a light play. Oh, what a pathetic loser!“ He whined.Just as Rue was lampooning, Hong fei emerged behind the doors with a straight face.“Husband," she called in a frightened look. Her eyes rolled from Nathan to Rue, his half brother. “What are you doing on the floor?" She rushed over to Nathan, and helped him up. " Did my brother do this to you?" She inquired with fury vibrating off her voice.Slap! “Never you dare to humiliate me in the presence of my brothe
Chapter 27“This underground room was designated by my late mom, where experiments are being made on herbs before being formulated into drugs.“ Hong Fei explained to me." My mom was the brain behind the success of City Light Hospital. She was a great pharmacist, it was such a pity that she only shared some of her secrets with my father.“" The secret was written in a journal which had been passed from generation to generation. My mom was fortunate to blend the knowledge from the book with the modern knowledge, hence she was able to formulate and invent drugs.““This was her study room, and experimenting room.“ Hong Fei said in a sober tone lowering her gaze.Nathan could feel the brightened countenance of Hong Fei fading into a griever one.Tempted not to ask but he couldn't control the questions so he inquired. “ Why sad when you have the journal with you?“ Nathan curiously asked." That was what I think but later on I realized I was so careless. I couldn't find the key to the lock,
Chapter 38Rue's eyes widened in shock. “Honey do you know him?" He inquired.Angie became startled,she rolled her eyes around,and her fingers dug into her hair.“No, I must have mistaken him for someone."Angie spat. Initially she wanted to acknowledged Rue that Nathan was her ex-boyfriend,that he was nothing but a miserable person but later realized the implications if perhaps she talked.She diverted her gaze towards Rue, her hands softly grabbed his chin, her cheeks brightened with a warm smile.“Honey, what are you thinking about? It's our first day, you shouldn't allow such a lowlife to ruin your mood.“ Angie said aloud to Nathan's hearing.Moments of silence.Rue was quiet, as he stared hard at Angie, his deadly glare suddenly reduces to a look filled with lust. He pulled her closer to him. “You're beautiful."He complimented, licking his bottom lips.Angie smiled at his compliment, and turned around such that she was staring at Nathan from the corner of her eyes.She was surp
Chapter 39“Guards!" Rue yelled.“This necklace is for Hong Fei but If you're still adamant about taking the necklace from me, I would not engage in a shameful fight with you.“Nathan said, and Angie darted her gaze from him towards Rue. She quietly observed his face, from the wrinkles on his face, Angie was afraid that Rue might be a married man.“Hong Fei?" Her brow creased into a frown as she muttered the word.She quietly withdrew herself from him. So, Nathan had been working with Rue's mistress? She gasped in disbelief.Although she never wants to get herself clung to a married man because of the aftermath scandal, since the mistress was Nathan's boss, how about she hypnotize Rue?“Hong Fei?“ Rue scowled. “Do you think I'm a gigolo compared to you?" He rolled his eyes.Silence."If I take the necklace from you, Hong Fei would not beat, chivy, or chase me out of the house. Rather, it is you who would receive the aforementioned.“"It would be my pleasure if she chased you out of t
Chapter 40“Honey, you don't have to take some permission from me, I'll have the house Butler to arrange my outlet for you.“ Hong Fei said over the line." Should I go in at the moment?“ He inquired. “Have you been standing outside the whole time?" She asked, curiousness filled in her voice. " What sort of useless husband is this?" She cursed and hung up.Nathan at the moment became confused. He pondered how his act or speech had gotten Hong Fei infuriated.She even hung up on him! He squeezed his face.Maybe he should take a walk in or better still take a ride home to avoid embarrassment, but he was hungry, right?“Just go in."His instincts instructed so he adhered to it.Nathan found himself walking back into the store, following the traces of the arrow down to the outlet.“Dring…” his phone rang, he glanced over the screen to behold a strange number.He picked, keeping silent. “Hi, Mr. Nathan this is Butler Tyler, and your room reservation has been booked, you may go in with the s
Chapter 41After a long period of heated argument, Nathan had no choice but to withdraw himself.He doesn't want to be the cause of a dispute in the family between two siblings. Moreover, he's just a son-in-law.Angie gave a sardonic smirk at Nathan as he walked away.***”The next day at the annual meeting.Hong Fei, Rue, alongside some of Hong fei maternal uncles were present for the meeting.They were going to sell their shares to be able to invest in a large project.Hong Fei was seated at home when her assistant brought the phone closer to her ear.“What do you mean!" She thundered, her brightened eyes getting faded.“My brother invested two hundred million dollars?" Hong Fei's eyes widened in shock as she repeated those words.She has been in control of their family wealth based on her father's instructions to not permit Rue to be in charge of the family's business.Her eyes glided through the space in her front. She puffed out hot air to ease her anger and tension.Today's meet
