Chapter One Hundred And Eighty; High end restaurant. Surely, before they would reach the seat, it would be easy for him to disappear by then, and they wouldn’t even know he was there, tahts would be better for him right?But then again, what would that mean? That he was not being professional? That he couldn’t stop and greet his other ViP guests? How would it sound in front of everyone? Lucas carefully thought about it and decided that it was better to meet the Barons, and who knows, he might be able to find out a thing or two about them too just like he did regarding the Melakas.As Patrick and Kevin Baron entered the restaurant, they were greeted by the maitre d' who led them to their reserved table. The restaurant was located in the heart of the city, and it was one of the most exclusive and high-end establishments in town. The interior was a stunning mix of modern and classic design, with elegant chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and plush leather chairs surrounding each tab

The Barons couldn’t couldn’t stay back and k
Chapter One Hundred And Eighty Two; Words Of Wisdom, From Experience.“The best way to get revenge is to do what I am currently doing.” Lucas said to James who was standing in front of him with mixed feelings. “And what exactly is it that you are doing? It doesn’t seem to be so clear” James asked truthfully seeking advice because of resent, he had been resenting his cousin and just wish for bad things to happen to him, but at the same time, he d doesn’t want his cousin to get hurt, so he truly wanted to get advice from Lucas, who seem to always know what he was doing. “You need to take a look at the other side of life, the winning side of life by deeping your hands into whatever you could get yourself in and making your glorious come back, the best revenge is to become the least thing they would expect from you, that way, they’ll be too shocked to do anything when they realise how far you’ve already gone.” “Is that what you are doing now? The reason why you want to be like them is
Chapter One Hundred And Eighty Three; Don’t Celebrate Too Early Santos sat at the table with the elders, nervously tapping his foot under the table. He had always been anxious around them, feeling like he never quite measured up to their expectations. He fidgeted with his napkin, trying to keep his hands busy to distract from the uncomfortable silence that had settled over the group. They had been discussing business, and Santos had been asked a question he didn't know the answer to. He stammered out a response, but it was clear he didn't have the knowledge they were looking for. The elders looked disappointed, and Santos could feel his face turning red with embarrassment.Suddenly, Santos excused himself from the table, muttering something about needing to use the restroom. But as soon as he was out of sight of the elders, he made a beeline for the door. He needed to get out of there, to escape the judgmental stares and the feeling of inadequacy that weighed heavy on his shoulders.
Chapter One Hundred And Eighty Four; Powerless Due To Lack Of supporting Background. Santos and Lucas had been arch enemies for years, but just when it seemed like their relationship was taking a turn for the food, one thing had to mess it up, and this time, it was not Santos who had started it. All Lucas had to do was just to keep quiet like the good old days and let Santos have his way with him, after all, he was almost over with having the conversation anyway, but Lucas couldn’t take it any more. But Lucas called Santos out on his lies about his parents, and that was the first time that someone actually pointed it out to Santos right in front of him, it was then a big blow that he couldn’t take. Santos lost his temper there and then and he immediately punched Lucas in the face as soon as he finished talking for never in his life did he phantom such kind of scene where Lucas would be making fun of him and it drove him to the extreme end of his anger so much so that he couldn’t
Chapter One Hundred And Eighty Five; Reflecting on many things. Mr. Patrick had just finished dinner and came to an agreement with the Melaka’s about how they could resolve the problem between the two of them. And the worst part was that the Santos family refused to accept the fact that they were in fact, the genesis of the problem they were facing. Bug instead, blamed the Barons for digging out a story that doesn’t concern them and throwing it out to the public, something that has nothing to do with them. Mr. Ptrick Baron insisted that this was not the case, he promised that they were not aware of the situation until when they saw in on the news did they also find out about it. “By the way, is it true that she’s his mother? How did you allow such a thing to happen?” Patrick had asked the question but it only angered Mr. Malaka. “How are you still asking me this? Are you not satisfied with the results of your investigation? Do you need to hear it from my mouth first so that you
Chapter One Hundred And Eighty Six; How it all started. Patrick sat alone in his office, staring at the flickering flame of the candle on his desk. The room was dimly lit, the shadows playing against the walls in a slow dance. He felt as though he had been sitting there for hours, lost in his thoughts, unable to escape the memories that had immediately plagued his mind.Mr. Patrick had always been a man of great pride and business acumen. Why would he not be when he was the heir of the mighty Baron, a family feared, with power and wealth for generations. Still despite his background, Mr. Patrick was not carried away by the generational wealth left by his ancestors, if anything, he felt the need to compete with his ancestors and acquire even more great wealth, honour and respect to his name, Patrick, so that he'd be something even before someone calls him a Baron. True to his determination, Patrick Baron worked extremely hard for many years to build up his personal fortune and rep
