Everyone was still shaken by his change in attitude as they hadn't expected him to be audacious. "The only way to seek help is to beg, after all, you could die if I did attend to you." Michael shrugged nonchalantly."Watch how you talk!" Berlin's bodyguard guard was angered once by Michael's words.'How much did you threaten me when I could ruin your life?" Berlin was furious making Michael even happier seeing him talk nervously."Ruin my life?" Michael tilted his brows and smirked. "You should be more worried about yours." Michael was right, he loved the way he was toying with them like children."How dare you try and act all rude to my boss." Berlin's bodyguard had finally had enough and was now filled with rage m, he proceeded to punch Michael who noticed unlike the previous people he had fought, this one seemed quite impressive but he was still nothing compared to Mivhaek himself. Before the punch could land in his face, Michael was able to dodge it swiftly and landed a powerful p
Michael wasn't at all interested in riches but those herbs certainly struck his attention because they were important to him as he needed them to cure his sick mother. There was no way he would miss those opportunities to have them. But first, he would need to make things a little tougher for Berlin donas not to get a simple approach to him."What if you're all talk? Michael tilted his brows. "What does that mean?" Berlin gazed at him."After treating you, what is the assurance that you would keep to your word?" Michael questioned him. "Adding the fact that I doubt you have the herbs that I need.""Even if I didn't have them, I will find them for you." Berlin offered still in pain, willing to do anything that would make Michael heal him."Do you have Sorrel?" Michael tilted his brows at Berlin"I don't but I am willing to find them." Berlin was determined that wasn't enough to convince Michael to heal him, after all, he could be faking it."What about Saffron?" Michael questioned."N
"You should compliment his rare medicals skills that just saved your life." Karina added."I already did when I offered to find the herbs he requested for and gave him a restaurant as a time of appreciation." Berlin shrugged his shoulders and tue5to Michael. "Care to tell me what you just gave me?" He asked trickishly wanting to know the herb because he had an idea up his sleeves."It's rare and you ate the last one I had." Michael answered not wanting to go into details as though he knew what Berlin was up to."We can do business with this you know, so why didn't you tell me what the name is." Berlin questioned, no doubt showing that he was a business man who would sell anything to get theineybin the baf6bit Michael wasn't at all moved by the idea of making money, Berlin on the other hand wasn't going to give up om finding it asbje was a big time medical tycoon and would take any advantage he has.He knew just how precious that medicine was and if he could plant it then he would be a
Michael was walking out of the room on his way to use the men's room when he bumped into them, they stared at him and their expressions were a mix of disappointment and anger."What the hell is someone the likes of you doing here?" Alice spat in resentment while gazing at Michael."He's probably a cleaner or something." Emily mocked. "What makes you think I can't come here to eat?" Michael frowned at their foolishness and said nothing"Well you're broke and a leech, how can you afford to pay millions to eat when you don't even have a job." Amelia rolled her eyes."Fling that bastard away, who knows maybe he must have sneaked in the heart by chance, he could steal wallets," Alice told The waiter and turned to her family.n"I hope he hasn't snatched yours yet." She added wanting to infuriate Michael but he still had a calm demeanor."Tell me then how you can afford d this place." Emily mocked staring at him straight in the eyes. "Let me be nice and tell you that this place isn't for the l
"What do you mean he's the owner of this place, do you have any idea what you're saying?"Alice slammed at the manager "He indeed is the owner of this place ma'am so please be respectful." The manager confirmed."I'm pretty sure he must have leeched I'm some woman to get this place, how disgusting." Emily insulted but Michael remained silent."I think you're bluffing because there's no way a penniless man like him can afford this place." Alice rolled her eyes trying to on Michael which irritated the manager."If you dare to speak demeaning things to him again, I'm afraid you will have to leave this premises." He threatened them. Earlier Berlin had handed over ownership of the restaurant to Michael as part of a deal they had earlier and the manager was there to witness it all in the private room, so no doubt Michael was the true owner.They all stared in disbelief wondering how that could happen. "Do you want me to kick them out, sir?" The manager I quoted from Michael who had remained
"I'm still overwhelmed but the fact that he owns the place, it still chills me how he has no shame but to constantly rely on women, how irritating." Alice rants on while they are eating."I know right?" Emily swallows her food angrily"If not for Miss Karina's recommendations, I believe he wouldn't be able to climb so high, such a person could never appreciate what was done for him." Alice continues to rant."Thank goodness Liam is back and saved us the trouble earlier," Emily says smiling at him, he turns his head at her and smiles back."It's nothing." Liam shrugs his shoulders taking a sip of his drink."If I ly you hadn't traveled back then, you would have been married to my sister and we would have been one happy family." Emily smiled dreamily at the thought of it."He would have been the perfect son-in-law I solely wished for." Alice smiled at him.Lucy was uncomfortable about their discussions and coughed silently hoping they would stop enjoying their meals. She was still occup
"What are you doing here?" Lucy stared at him with a frown on her lips."Saving you obviously." He pointed out while making his way towards her. "That drink is drugged," Michael explained to her and she stared back at him with a confused expression on her face."What do you mean drugged?" Her eyes danced between Michael and Liam. "How do you know that?" She inquired staring at him with a frown, was he here to come up with baseless rumors so that her relationship with Liam may be severed?"My manager just reported the incident to me that thud man over here had drugged your drink in your absence," Michael explained to Lucy who was dumbfounded, she had just left a minute ago and there was no way Liam could do this "You blatant liar, how dare you lie about such a thing?" Liam glared at Michael."Would you rather believe me or a stranger who's trying to hurt you?" Michael questioned Lucy, there was no reason for her to doubt Liam who was from a noble family and didn't have a fallout in ch
Michael was so speechless and hurt by her words that he didn't know how to respond and just gazed at her. He had thought their relationship had improved because of the numerous times he had helped her but he was wrong to have thought that. He was the only one who felt that way.Seeimgnrjr way Michael looked Lucy felt a pang of guilt about ranting about what she didn't mean but she couldn't 5ake them back. Michael stared in disappointment as a dry smile formed across his lips staring at Lucy."I apologize for what happened earlier." Je sighed. "I also want to apologize for thinking we could take things right again but I guess I was wrong and it was all one-sided because you still had feelings for him and I was only a hindrance." He shrugged his shoulders gazing at her trying to put a check on his feelings, refusing to fool around again.Looking at the wine on the table he ought to have known that they were deed lovers and Lucy wanted Liam to make love to her. "This was what you wanted
