“Kevin, aren’t you a member of this family?” Mathew asked him.“Am I a member of the Williams family!?”Kevin said with a sad smile.“You must be joking! You all threw me out of the family three years ago. Who in this room really considers me a true Williams?”Mathew didn’t know how to respond.Even the other family members that were sited cleared their throats.“When my father was admitted to the hospital, which of you came to visit him?”Kevin clenched his fists and said,“If that’s how you treat family, then I’d like my twelve billion dollars back.”Mason walked over to Kevin and put his hand on his shoulder.He pleaded with him,“Kevin, you must realize that doing this will drive us to financial ruin.”“Mr. Amber Mason, I hope you can stand by side like you did three years ago.”Kevin said slowly.“I promise I won’t let you down, but…”Before Mason could finish speaking, Mathew cut in“Can’t we work this out somehow?”“What do you think I should do? Continue to let them insult me!
“Kevin, why don’t we leave?” Lily said as she tugged on Kevin’s sleeve.Kevin was disappointed to hear her say this.He wanted to give her the finest things that money could buy.Just then, everyone heard a female voice ordering the associate,“Take this necklace out so I can try it on.”They looked over and an elegantly dressed woman carrying a limited Prada bag in her hand.When she walked over, she pointed at the necklace Lily wanted.“Ok, just a moment ma’am.” The associate said as she unlocked the case to remove the necklace for the woman.Kevin was irritated by this.“Didn’t you just say that you don’t allow anyone to try the jewelry on if they haven’t paid for it?” Kevin asked indignantly.“But, can you afford it?” she replied disdainfully.“I’ve seen a lot of people like you try this stunt. You just want to take a photo when you try it on and then post it online to impress your friends.” The associate said impatiently.“How much can someone like you earn in a year!? And wha
Kevin squinted and took a close look at the burst.It looked like an authentic one but, probably from the second century.As he walked around it, he could see that someone had tried to repair it. Probably in the 1600’s.Kevin asked the young man right away, “How much do you want?”“Didn’t I just tell you? Sixty thousand!” he said impatiently.“Alright, I’ll take it.” Kevin said directly.As soon as he said this, the on-lookers immediately started to quiet down.They couldn’t believe that he was willing to spend so much on an obvious fake.But some of the local antiques shop owners remembered what happened the last time Kevin was there and they were curious to see what he would do this time.Ivy was staring at the burst with a displeased look on her face.She felt that something was wrong but she couldn’t put a finger on it.Suddenly, Lily tugged down Kevin’s sleeve and asked him, “Do you know anything about antiques? Be careful.”Even though Lily didn’t know anything about antique ap
Suddenly, the young man said something to Ivy“Who said I want twenty-five thousand!? That was a mistake on my part. I want one million dollars for the bracelet, you still owe nine hundred and seventy-five thousand.”“Sir! How can you do this? I have already transferred the money to you and our transaction is complete.” Ivy said very unhappily.“Didn’t you hear what he said? The two bracelets together could worth at least three million!” The man greedily said.“Even though they are worn out, it has to worth at least one million.”Everyone started berating the man for going back on his word after agreeing on the price.The man didn’t care what they thought and said, “My price is one million. If you don’t want to pay that then the deal is off.”Ivy was getting more and more upset.From what Kevin had said, the bracelet would only have more value if it was paired with the original which has been lost hundred years ago.By itself, it was just a curiosity.“In that case, have our money t
Everyone who was the room started to panic especially those who knew Kevin.They didn’t want to get dragged into Kevin’s fight.Robin smiled at Kevin, “Don’t think you are so great just because you bought one of my antiques.”Before Robin could say anything else, Lorenzo gave him a back hand to the face.“Why did you hit me!?” Robin said in shock.“You are embarrassing me.” Lorenzo scolded him as he tossed his cousin aside.“I’ll deal with you later.”Then Lorenzo took a deep breath.Ivy was very nervous when he saw Lorenzo walking up to Kevin.However, what happened next shocked everyone in the room.Drake apologized politely to Kevin, “I’m sorry Mr. Williams, I had no idea this would happen. My cousin can get crazy sometimes.”They were all wondering how Lorenzo knew Kevin.Not only that, he just apologized instead of wiping the floor with him.“So, did you send this jackass over here!?” Kevin asked in a menacing tone.This definitely had an effect on Lorenzo and it showed in his ex
When he got out of his car, Kevin shook his head in displease.The estate was located in the western subways towards the east.There were no buildings as far as the eyes could see which was really in this part of the city.It seemed like a farm land had been replaced by housing development.“Business must be good.” Kevin said to himself.After everyone sat on the sofa, Lily looked around the large peacefully decorated room.Then she asked with some hesitation, “President Anderson, why don’t you have any antiques in your home?”“It’s very simple.” Kevin said as the three women turned to look at him.“You know about this too?” Lily asked in surprise.“As it turns out I do.”“While Ivy’s family specializes in antiques, they prefer not to bring any of them home.” Kevin explained.“It may sound superstitious but they avoid bringing any of the objects into the house that might be… might be haunted.” he said very seriously. Lily and Monica had their doubts about this explanation.Lily sni
The head of the alliance did this in order to control the members. “Marshall, if I can make an herbal pill that would help you, will you let us go?” Kevin asked calmly. He clearly remembered reading about this in the book. He remembered the recipe and knew that the black fruit that he got from Robin was indispensable. It was in an incredible coincidence but Kevin wasn’t worried about that right now. He needed to save Lily, Monica and Ivy. “That’s impossible. Only the head of the alliance could make that.” Marshall said in astonishment. “I don’t care if you believe me or not. If you get the pill, will you let us go?” Kevin asked again. “Alright, it’s… i… it’s a deal!” Marshall stammered. “You still have two hours before it gets critical.” Kevin said to him. “I’ll be back in a minute.” After saying this, Kevin opened the window and climbed out. Then he went to his car to get the black fruits. Although Kevin was reluctant to help Marshall, this was the only way he could s
Kevin returned to the dining room and saw that Lily, Monica and Ivy were still tied up.“Are you guys ok?” He asked them anxiously.“Kevin, what’s going on? Who were those men?” Lily asked curiously.“Nothing to worry about. They were looking for the wrong person but I straightened it all out.” Kevin said calmly.Before Kevin could untie the three young women, he heard the sound of the door opening.It was Ivy’s father, Peter Anderson.He stood by the door with a shocked expression on his face.“Kevin, what are you doing here?” he asked in displease.Then as he looked over, he saw his daughter and two other women tied up with belt.Instantly, he became infuriated.“What the hell is going on here!?” He shouted at the top of his lungs.“Peter, this is not what it looks like.” Kevin tried to explain.“It’s not what it looks like!?” Peter countered.“What the hell do you think it looks like!?”Kevin tried to answer but he had no idea what to say.“How can you do something like this
