Butler John assisted in dragging all the staff and crew of the mansion, and that includes all the staff that were assigned in the kitchen, especially them. “How about the guards? Are we not going to check them?” Marcus asked Simon while they were standing in the balcony of his father’s office. Simon had checked all his medicine but there was nothing out of place there. Except if the contents are being replaced. “We will, but I have a feeling that it came from the kitchen safe. How did my father come to ingest such poisonous matter? It should be from the staff that prepares the food.” Simon answered, his eyes were glued on the staff that looked baffled as to why they were being dragged out to the garden by the guards. Marcus couldn’t agree more. “Get those bottles and have it checked by Dylan.” Dylan was the one who was in-charged in the production of liquor, and he specializes in substance and chemical. He would know if the contents of those bottles were replaced or not. “Yes,
Simon was observing the maid from the other room. Just like an investigation room in any police station, the Morelli mansion also has their own version of interrogation room. The only difference was that of the Morelli mansion has a lot of torture paraphernilias. It depends on who they are interrogating will they use the torture tools. As for the maid, Simon has no plans in using the tools on her. He just wanted answers as to why she was able to enter the mansion without the knowledge of butler John. The one-way glass prevented the maid from looking at the other side of the room. The room was used to interrogate suspicious individuals and those who betrayed the Morelli clan. Some even died while being interrogated. Marcus sat on the opposite side of the table, in front of the maid. If one would look, it would pass as a police investigation room. There was a speaker so that they could hear the conversation from the other room. Simon never left his eyes on the maid. He was sure he
The news about Emiliano’s hospitalization spread across the state. It was a hot topic and the citizens had different comments as to why Emiliano landed in the hospital, especially he was in the intensive care unit. A lot of people wondered as to what was the reason since it was not disclosed in the public the main reason why he was brought to the hospital. Simon, on the other hand, assumed all the pending works his father left. He has no choice but to take over both the legal and illegal business of the clan. Federico had volunteered to do so, but Simon didn't trust him to fully hand him the business. He’s the heir, it was only fitted that he assumed his father’s work. ‘Does he take me for a fool? I am not the young Salvatorre who easily get manipulated, I learned that the hard way.” Simon slammed his laptop close. He was in the study office in the mansion. He just finished a tiring hour-long meeting with the members of the board of directors. He still needed to hire his own secr
“Here’s the invitation to the charity ball of the Miltons.” Giovanni put the white envelope on top of Simon’s table. He spared a few seconds of glance on the piece of paper and then went back to the screen of his laptop The Miltons were famous for their big time Jewelry store all around the world. They literally had branches in every country. The female Milton used to host an annual charity ball for their foundation that supports the rescue of girls who were victims of human trafficking. But Simon knew them better than anybody else. He has an intel that the old Milton was doing a dirty job behind the facade of a generous and kind old man. They were involved in human trafficking. Simon doesn’t want to get involved at first, but he received a tip from someone inside the black market that young girls as young as twelve were being sold to clients who wanted to prey on young girls. Upon hearing it, Simon couldn’t just sit and let that happen. He knew he must do something to at least sa
Simon gave Giovanni the invitation letter while he found a way to sneak inside the mansion where the charity party was being held. He expected the security would be tight since almost all of the invited guests were from the wealthiest families, but Simon was wrong. He easily got inside. He found a way to the dirty kitchen and from there it had been easy for Simon to enter the mansion with no sweat at all. With the simple clothes that he was wearing, he was easily mistaken for a service crew to the party, which made Simon think that it was an advantage for him, he had driven into the opportunity to be able to roam around the mansion with no much suspicion. As Simon roamed the mansion with a tray of champagne in his hands, he saw that almost all of the wealthy businessmen, celebrities and politicians were invited to the party. He was looking for any evidence that there was an auction that was happening in the mansion aside from the party that it hosted. Simon saw Giovanni talking t
Simon left the scene where Gregory was humiliating him. He has no plans on staying theri so they can continue to embarrass him. If he allowed that to happen before, he will not let that happen again now. But before Simon could even get away with the scandalous Gregory Holt, he was quick to grab Simon his arm and pulled him harshly. “Where do you think you’re going? You think you can easily ditch me after insulting me in front of these people?” Holt was scowling at Simon, his jaws were stiff and his eyes were sending daggers towards Simon. Simon looked down on Holt’s hand that was on his arm. He hated the feeling of this man on him. “Get your hands off me.” Simon stared at him with equal danger. He’s not going to let this man embarrass him further in this party. Simon had enough of his childish acts and he will teach Holt the lesson that he needed. But instead of getting intimidated by Simon’s reaction, Holt finds it funny. He thought that Simon was just acting tough. Gregory lau
Mr. Milton was so glad to see Simon among the guests of the charity party that he hosted. He came to Simon and his smile stretched on his face like he saw an angel. “Mr. Morelli! I was so good to see you here!” he exclaimed as he went to Simon’s side. The other guests were looking at them with curiosity in their eyes. They eyed Simon like he was some kind of a new piece of art that’s for exhibit. Simon just stood there without any emotions on his face. He went to this party to confirm whether it’s true that there was an auction of young girls in the basement of the mansion. And since Holt and Steele decided to appear out of nowhere, Simon lost the opportunity to search the area. Plus, hiis identity was about to be exposed since Milton showed up. “What? Who’s that Morelli you are talking about, Mr. Milton?” Gregory interjected. There was a mocking smile plastered on his face, he looked at Simon from head to toe. “He’s Simon Scott, Mr. Milton, a scammer and a con artist. You should
Simon stared at Ashley’s manicured fingers that were wrapped around his arm. He wanted to burst into laughter with all her actions and fake smiles. It was actually her first time to voluntarily touch him without looking disgusted at him. Learning that he’s an heir of a multi-billion dollar company instantly made him look handsome and clean in Ashley’s eyes. “What are you doing?” he asked her, his voice stern , giving her that hint that he doesn’t like what she was doing. Ashley smiled at him, but Simon knew how fake that smile was. He knew Ashley’s real attitude and he’s not gonna be swayed that easily giving him those fake smiles and sweet voice. She pouted, trying hard to look cute in Simon’s eyes, but it only made him cringed knowing how she tried to act just so she can go back to his life and suck his wealth. “I just missed my husband. Why? Am I not allowed to miss you? It’s been months, Simon. I don’t really like Gregory, I was just forced to date him because he told me that
