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were no buildings as far as the eyes could see which was really in this part of the city.It seemed like a farm land had been replaced by housing development.“Business must be good.”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
Kevin continued, “I am getting ready to open the biggest hotel in Veridonia and I have decided to ask you to be the vice president.”“Really!?” Monica asked excitedly.“Of course it’s true. But I need to know soon so please don’t take too long to decide.” Kevin said very casually.He had already made an agreement with Collins Coke.The two of them were going to join forces and build the biggest hotel in the whole of Veridonia.“Just don’t disappoint me. If you accept my offer, I’ll give you three times the industry standard.” Kevin added.Monica was dumbfounded and she stammered as she tried to say something, “A…. am… am I dreaming!? You really want me to be the vice president!?”“There is only one condition. I want you to help me keep an eye on Lily. If any man tries to get close to her, you must let me know immediately.” Kevin said very seriously.“I won’t let you down, Mr. Williams!” Monica replied excitedly.At that very moment, at the Jones mansion, Grandma Jones was sitting with
“Kevin, if you want your money back, I can transfer it back to you right now. However, if you want to use it to save Williams Media, it won’t work.” Mathew said displeased with the arrogant attitude of his nephew.“This is your grandfather’s decision. I advise you to come back and apologize to your family, we can still work this out.”It looked like Kevin didn’t have any options left.He just hung up the phone and tapped on his desk as he pondered on what to do.He couldn’t understand how the Williams family had suddenly found enough money to do this.After thinking for a while, he decided to call Collins Coke, Eliana Wright, Antoine Bruce and the others for an emergency meeting at his office.Within an hour, they had all arrived.“Mr. Williams, what’s going on? Why did the Williams family suddenly plunge this financial tech on Veridonia?” Eliana was the first to ask.“With their influence, they’ll have no trouble taking over all the major industries in the city. But the way they ar
Grandma Jones then turned to Lily and forced a smile, “Lily, this concerns the survival of our family. Why don’t you turn in all the shares? In any case, don’t you agree that it’s not fair for them in your hands anyway?”“I don’t agree.” Kevin shouted.“What did you say!?” Grandma Jones snapped back.Before Kevin could say anything, Drake jumped on him too.“Kevin, don’t think you are so special just because you know a few rich people. If you were so great, why don’t you get them to bail us out?”They all started to criticize Kevin again. Complaining that he wasn’t a true member of the Jones family and he had no voice in their meetings.Then Drake continued to explain his plans, “Grandma, I recently met with a senior member of Williams Media. As long as Lily is ready to turn over her shares, I have a way to convince Williams Media. After the crisis is over, we can sell them and get control over company again.”“And how do we allocate the shares after that!?” Kevin asked loudly.Everyo
