Chapter Sixty-Nine: Knife.IT has been three days since Paxton was arrested and he hasn't come up with what to do. His lawyer told him that he can help him lower his sentence but it wasn't enough, Paxton wants to prove his innocence. Because he really didn't steal anything! “Braxon, you have a visitor!” The police guard called him and so he stood up.Inside the room to see the visitor, he saw Red sitting next to the glass window. It was his first time visiting him. He didn't expect him to visit sooner because he knew that Red is still mourning over the death of his father.As soon as he sat down on the chair, Red talked.“You have to get out of here, we have to take him down,” he said.Paxton gritted his teeth while looking at him. Ryker finally realized that he was wrong for following Sylvester’s orders. He realized how foolish he was to follow someone who planned to kill his own father. “Yesterday, our godfather visited my father’s burial. I couldn't see any remorse in his eyes no
Chapter Seventy: Allies.LEVI was so mad upon receiving the news that his plan didn’t go well. Gregory, the man he asked to kill Paxton was transferred into another cell because of what happened. It is devastating, he underestimated Paxton’s skills. He thought it would be the same as how they attempted to kill him six months ago but failed. “Lord Levi, we need to be careful next time. If Gregory spilled who asked him to kill Paxton, he wouldn’t just sit back,” Miguel said.He pressed his lips and lifted up his head to glare at Miguel. “Then kill him. No one should know it was me.”“We will kill him?”“Was there any other choice? Killing that Gregory who couldn’t do his job well was the best way,” he added. “If you have any other suggestion then tell me.”“Nothing, My Lord. I will do it right away.”Miguel quickly left his office to do what he ordered. That’s when he took his phone and dialed a phone number. It was the man who had been helping him ever since. He waited for him to answ
Chapter Seventy-One: Meet In Hell.TONIGHT, he should just go home and rest to his house with his wife that he was sure, waiting for him to go home. But instead, he didn’t went straight home. He continued his way to the building of Golden Realty and made his way inside.Some of the employees that are still in the building, looked at him with a questioning look, some bowed before him and greeted him but many ignored his presence. In this kind of situation, who would greet the past Chairman of this company? He, who got discharged as a Chairman because of money laundering and embezzlement. Many might not know already that he was released from jail, because he heard whispers and questions on why he was here. But he doesn’t care. These judgemental people are not the reason why he came here. He’s here because he knows that his goddamn godfather was still here, working his old ass of to earn more money when in fact, no one would inherit all of those money. “Lord Paxton, please don’t disturb
Chapter Seventy-Two: Wedding Anniversary.AFTER talking to his godfather, Paxton quickly left the Golden Realty building and went home. He was still raging in anger but he did everything to calm himself down and make sure that there was no trace of anger in him as soon as he finally arrived home.Lorelei was walking back and forth, she was worried that Paxton hasn’t arrived home when she knew that his release was four hours ago. She wants to pick him up earlier but William told him that he will do it instead and so she lets him. Now she’s worried that letting William pick up Paxton instead might not be a good idea.She stopped walking when the main door opened, Paxton entered their house with a thin and pale face. Her worries suddenly fade away and quickly walked toward him to embrace him tightly. It has been two weeks and she missed him so much. “What made you took so long?” she asked. Then she looked up at Paxton who was now looking at her face.Paxton held her head and brushed her
Chapter Seventy-Three: Was It You?EVERYONE is eating peacefully in a fine dining restaurant that Morgan Marshall reserved for Paxton and Lorelei’s wedding anniversary. But Paxton couldn't eat properly because of the tension he was feeling. He knows that Lorelei’s family doesn't like him anymore, although they really don't like him ever since, it seems like it became more intense.He was currently wiping his lips after eating the steak when Sharon cleared her throat.“So… how was your relationship with your godfather? Is there a possibility that you would still inherit the company after the accusation that you stole money from him?”He knew it! He knew that they would ask that question to him. Marshall family wants wealth and him being discharged as the Chairman of Golden Realty, he would also wish for him to be out of their life.“No,” he replied. “And if ever my godfather told me to come back to Braxon Empire, I wouldn't. In fact, I will change my surname from Braxon to Cartier, as
Chapter Seventy-Four: Don’t Tell Your Mother.THE whole night, Marshall family didn’t stop trying to prove that he was now poor, now that he was already abandoned by his godfather. For Paxton, he wasn’t abandoned by his godfather, he can stand on his own and he doesn’t need his godfather’s support. But at least, thanks to him, he was able to achieve what he had achieved now. If it wasn’t because of his godfather, maybe he wasn’t able to reach this level.He doesn’t really know Sylvester’s reason why he was doing all of this. And why he did horrible things such as killing his own friends. If he was right, Sylvester would also plan to kill him. But why? After all that he have done for him, after all his help, why? That’s what’s bothering him ever since he discovered Sylvester’s evil doings.Tonight was different from the nights that their hideout was loud and full of his men, playing cards and waiting for his order. The hideout was quiet when Paxton and William entered. Earlier, Paxton
Chapter Seventy-Five: Torture.WILLIAM agreed to not let his mother know about his plan with Paxton. He realized that it is better to not let her know because she would probably interrupt whatever it is that they are planning.The days passed and Paxton returned to the hospital as an ordinary dermatologist just like before. After all, he was still the owner. The Golden Medical Center changed its name to Lifeline Medical Center, the original name of the Cartier family’s hospital. Today, his surname was also changed back Cartier which at least made him breathe properly.As soon as he went out of the hospital, the media were already waiting for his statement regarding the change of name of his hospital together with his surname. “What happened between you and Sylvester Braxon?”“Did he disowned you?”“Are you still part of Braxon Empire?”Too many questions were asked but he didn’t reply to any of them. He continued walking while Oliver was blocking the media who kept on pushing their w
Chapter Seventy-Six: Bruce Sy.“SYLVESTER personally came to me and asked if I could fabricate the scene. He paid me together with the Chief to make sure that it will turn out like a real accident and it wasn’t intended,” John confessed to them.Red trembled in anger, they already had a hint that the accident that happened to his father was also Sylvester’s doing but now that it was confirmed, he still couldn’t process it. “Pull yourself together Red, control your anger,” Paxton told him.Thinking about how he followed everything that Sylvester told him to do, he feels like he was a fool following someone who was just fooling him around. It was hard to accept. If it weren’t because of Paxton, he wouldn’t discover all of these and he was still following Sylvester.“I know that it is hard to accept, but you have to stay strong so we could get our revenge. Our godfather is evil for doing this,” he added.They may not know the real reason why he did all of these horrible things, but what
