Marshall's Cooperation PLC. "Stop!" Shadrach jerked back inside the car and was frightened. "Hey, what happened?" "I'm sorry sir, but there are some people in front of the gate," The driver said. Shadrach furrowed his brows and came down from the car. In front of the gate were his family members. He raised a brow, staring at them. They all exchanged glances and one of them coughed. His name was Charles, he was Chandler's younger brother's first son. Chandler had taken good care of him and his mother when his father died after a brief illness. "Shadrach, ermm… Father has requested your presence," He said. "Father? For what exactly?" Shadrach asked. "Shadrach, we know we have wronged you," Another said. "But father hasn't been doing so great for awhile and we fear that he might die soon." Shadrach sucked in a breath. "Let's go." Shadrach entered into his car. "Take me to our family's residence." "But sir, don't you think you should inform the young master about this? He onl
Unknown location. Leonard and Max alighted from Leonard's van. Aquafina, Diana and Micheal stood at the door to receive them. Aquafina and Diana were all smiles when they saw Max while Micheal had an odd expression on. "Diana! Fina!" Max yelled happily, running towards them. "Still childish," Aquafina grunted as Max engaged them both in a bone crushing hug. "How have you both been?" Max said, ruffling Diana's hair. Diana forced a smile out and arranged her hair with her fingers. "We were good, at least we can enjoy our weekend not looking for you anymore." Max giggled. "I won't hide anymore." "Max, where have you been hiding all this while?" Micheal asked, staring at her with a raised brow. Max's expression changed drastically. Michael glanced at Leonard. "You actually brought her in here without proper investigation?" "Hey, Micheal, don't question Leonard like that! Just because you're the king doesn't mean you can boss everyone around," Max said with a loud scoff. "Well,
The Everett's Residence."Sis, these dresses are really beautiful," Amelia gushed as she walked into the room, staring at the dresses on the bed. "Where are you going?"Emily smiled as she applied some lip gloss to her lips, "Our college classmates have organised a dinner party so they invited me over. More like a get together.""Oh really? Will Leonard be there as well?" Amelia asked.Emily sighed. "I don't know Amelia. You know, none of them actually liked him.""Well, Leonard looks like someone who cares whether people like him or not actually.""Yeah, that's true."A soft knock came on the door. Emily and Amelia exchanged glances.The door was slightly pushed open and their parent's heads popped up, "Emily, are you busy?""What do you want?" Emily asked with a raised brow.Rosalie sighed and walked in with James behind her. "Emily, you've looked yourself up in your room, refusing to eat with us, you only talk to your sister and you ignore us totally."James coughed slightly and sa
7pm,Merlin Restaurant.Merlin's restaurant was known widely for its wide range of seafoods and its exquisite evening ambience, extensive wine list and romantic atmosphere also famous for its artistic, visually striking dishes.This was the venue for the dinner party or reunion as Grace said over the phone.Leonard and Emily alighted from the van and walked into the restaurant. The entrance was adorned with a stylish sign that proudly displays the name of the restaurant.Patrons were already seated in various corners of the room. Different tantalising flavours mixed with the fresh scent of ingredients in the air, entering into their nostrils."They are in a private booth. Grace just texted me the number," Emily said.Leonard nodded in reply."This way."They boarded an elevator which took them straight to the third floor of the restaurant. Emily walked gracefully with her red heels with Leonard behind her. The doors of the booth automatically opened after sensing the arrival of a hu
"Yes Emily, "Damian said. "You don't have to keep defending him all the time. He's lying, how can he possibly know Evans Ramsay.""Definitely, Leonard is just trying to coy favour with us," Lily said, looking at Leonard disdainfully.Emily opened her mouth to speak but Leonard held her hand. "It's enough, Emily. If they don't want to believe, there's no need to force the truth down their throats. And if you want, I can have Evans cook a meal for you.""How?" Emily asked."You and I know what happened in the restaurant that day. Evans gave me a card that I can use and call on him to cook for me. Luckily, I have it here with me."Leonard brought out a small golden card from his inner pockets, and every eyes were on it."Is… Is that the gold VVIP special card?" Chris asked with widened eyes.Damian turned to look at him. "Chris, what do you mean?""That card in that punk's hands resembles the special VVIP card from Evans Ramsay. I've only seen it on the internet and never got a chance t
Evans glared at Grace and turned to Leonard with an apologetic look on his face. "I'm so sorry Mr. Marshall. I didn't recognise you at first.""It's okay. I can see you're doing very well unlike before," Leonard replied."Yes. I'm very much okay now."Leonard turned to Emily, "Would like to eat a meal prepared by him?"Emily nodded shyly. Who would refuse such a request to eat a meal cooked specially by a famous chef?"Mr. Evans, it's nice seeing you again," Emily greeted.Evans nodded in reply."Nonsense!""Arrant nonsense!" Damian yelled, hitting the table with his fist. "Mr. Evans, how did you know this poor punk here?"Evans raised a brow at Damian's outburst. "Like I said before he's a friend of mine.""Mr. Evans, you're one of those famous in the upper class. How can you make friends with a poor rat?" Chris asked. "Except you're an impostor.""Yes! Grace, are you sure this is the real Evans Ramsay?" Damian asked.Evans felt humiliated. "How dare you say that to my face?""Hey! D
"Are you sure of what you're saying? This is the fake Evans?" Grace askedz looking at the manager.The manager nodded and stared at Evans scornfully. "I have no idea why the security will let such a man into the restaurant to pose as Evans. I'll personally deal with this matter and make sure the perpetrators end up in jail."Damian crossed both legs over each other, placing it on the table. "Grace, Lily, Emily, didn't I tell you that your precious Leonard is nothing but a liar and a con artist?"Leonard stared intensely at the manager and found the incident strange. Why would he deny the truth?What's really going on?Emily turned to Leonard and muttered with a worried look, "Leonard, this is getting out of hand.""Don't worry. I'll handle this, everything will be fine."Leonard turned to Evans and said," The restaurant has a biometric database right?"Evans nodded. "Yes, they do.""You also have a separate room where you cook?""Yes, I do but most time I go to the general kitchen to
Damian chuckled in a funny way, "Leonard, can seriously make me eat leftovers from the dustbin. I was merely making a joke then."Leonard raised a brow. "A joke? What if I hadn't proven Evan's identity? It wouldn't have been a joke, I'm sure you would have made me eat the leftovers myself."Damian coughed slightly."Would you willingly eat it or I'll have to force you?" Leonard asked.Damian felt intimidated by Leonard's stare. The burly man was still on the floor, moaning in pain."Damian, you made the deal yourself, no one forced you. How can a man from a reputable family back out of his own deal?" Emily asked with a sarcastic smile."Emily, don't tell me you're in support of this as well," Damian replied with surprise."Well, you humiliated my guest. You don't expect not to get punished, do you?" Evans turned to Leonard and said, "If he refuses to comply, I'll definitely make sure he eats from the leftovers and I'll send a video over to you."Leonard nodded. He would leave this to
