“We both heard the same thing, right? That person called Margaret wifey. And that person is likely to be Jeremy. How's that even possible?” Orlando placed his hand on his bandage arms and slightly pressed on it “Why do you look so calm? Am I the only confused one here?” Orlando rested his back “Anyways, we are nor totally sure that it's Jeremy. It's impossible for Margaret and Jeremy to have anything together”“No, it's not” Damon finally spoke up “Huh, what do you mean? That must have been a different person, it can't be Jeremy” Orlando said Damon thought back to the time he saw Margaret sneaking into Jeremy's car and how anxious she looked when he asked of her familyWas it possible that what she has been hiding was her relationship with Jeremy? But if they were indeed married, why did they keep it from the rest of the family? “Is it possible for you to not save your husband's number? The number that called just now was unsaved. Perhaps it was a wrong number. Don't think too mu
They gave each other knowing glances and left the study room to the living room Jeremy, looking as unbothered and collected as usual, was sipping his tea as he read through the newspaper in his hand When he heard the sound of footsteps approaching, he dropped his tea and turned back. His eyes immediately locked on Orlando If one was observant enough, they'd notice the slight clench of his jaw. However, that was only for a brief moment, as though it never happened “Mr Jeremy” Orlando slightly bowed his head in acknowledgement “Orlando! What a surprise to see you here” Jeremy replied with a sly smile on his face. He then turned to Damon “Nathan, good to see you”Damon replied “Uncle, good to see you as well. What brings you here today?”Jeremy dropped the newspaper in his hand and said “I came to check up on grandfather. It is, after all, my responsibility as his child. I can't neglect it”Damon nodded and said to Orlando “Tell the maids to serve dinner and tell Grandfather to come
Jeremy decided to use the fact thy he wasn't aware that he was the real Nathan against him. If he was skilful and threatening enough, he might be able to scare Damon away without having to use forceful approaches But if that didn't work, he would have to use force. Besides, staying in that house might invoke a bit of Nathan's memory in him. So he had to act fast and send him away before that happens “Damon Brooks, that's your full name, right?” Jeremy stood up and went to him. He patted his shoulders and continued “Don't act like you're so pure and innocent. We both know the reason you took the job to come here as Nathan's impostor is so you could get money. You didn't mind deserving a family and the rest of the world for your selfish needs. Who gave you the right to question my decisions then?”Although Damon was slightly taken aback by Jeremy's threat to his life, he still had his composure. Jeremy was gradually shedding his skin and showing his real colours Damon was about to f
Maraget heaved a deep sigh and relaxed her tense shoulders. Perhaps it would be better for everyone to know the truth since it was already brought to light anyway The secret has been a heavy weight pressing on her chest. She wanted to let everything out and be free “Yes” She replied “You're married to my uncle and you both have children together? You kept this from everyone for over twenty years. If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were in this house with evil intent” Damon said and drank water “Nathan, what are you saying? She has her reasons. It's her choice anyway, she can choose not to tell anybody” Orlando walked towards the dining table and folded his arms across his chest “Since you've been here, do you dare to say you've never done anything to this family?” Damon asked again “No! I've never. You all are my family” “Why did you choose to come here as a maid?”“I-I–”“You have been spying on us, haven't you?”“Nathan! Y–” Orlando wanted to speak but Damon rai
“I hate to agree with you, but it's plausible. I also have this hunch but I didn't want to speak up because there's no proof to back it up” Orlando replied after a short pause “If this is the case, we have to be very careful. Although we are not sure of this yet, it will be unreasonable to term him a criminal without any evidence” Damon replied “We have to clear this up. I suggest we get someone to to follow him”“That someone is you” Damon replied blankly Orlando blinked repeatedly. He opened his mouth to speak but before he could, Damon said “I, you, Lucas and Kelvin will follow him. A few minutes ago, when Uncle was still here, I got Lucas to place a monitoring chip under his car. This should help us tail him without putting ourselves out there”Orlando nodded “That's better”Damon turned back to his laptop and tapped rapidly on the keyboard. A map appeared on the screen with a red dot flashing on a part of the map “Apparently, this is where he is”Damon pointed to the red dot a
They both went left to the office with Gary and Wonker guarding then from another car behind Orlando was more like his personal escort, going with him wherever he went. They got to the office in no time Damon met Ian at the door of his office “Good morning sir”Damon nodded and entered the office. Orlando followed still without saying anything. Damon sat on his office chair and went through the things on his table while Orlando stood behind him, with his hands clasped at his back He knew better than to disregard Damon in public Ian knocked and entered the office. He reported all the things that Damon needed to know and left the office. When he left, Orlando left Damon's back and made himself comfortable on the sofa in the officeHe picked up a file from his table and casually flipped through it. Coincidentally, the file contained the charts of top companies in the city. Damon had a copy of this because he wanted to know how far he was progressing and who he needed to look out for
Mrs Evans swallowed back the words she wanted to say. Her fingers that were wagging at Damon suddenly stopped in the airHer eyes widened and her mouth was agape. She looked around the sitting room and then back at Damon in horror Her usually composed demeanour shattered and her eyes were filled with shock and fear“W-What are you talking about?” She stuttered How did he find out? It was so long ago, she made sure she hid it well. “Mr Evans is not Ella's biological father” Damon replied calmly Mrs Evans’s heart fell deeper when she heard him. Her breathing became uneven. This was her deepest secret, her achilles heel. How did Damon come to know about it? “Y-you're saying rubbish. My husband is Ella's biological father. Who else would I have given birth to her for?” She tried to mask her anxiety as she questioned Damon Damon took his seat on the sofa. He crossed a leg over the other and picked up the card “You know exactly well what I'm talking about. I have proof, if you don't
She almost bagged herself and her daughter into a rich family. Only she knew what she went through when she was in the slums, she didn't want her daughter to go through the same thing That was why she was doing her absolute best to get her daughter into the Snyder family She bit the inside of her cheeks and angrily stared at her reflection in the mirror Damon left the house and was about to leave the gate when Ella's car drove inWhen she saw him, she halted her car and got down from it. She hopped to him with a smile on her face “Hey, my future husband” She wanted to throw her arms around his shoulders but he stopped her and yanked her hands away Her lifted lips curled downwards and her brows drew together “What is wrong with you, Nathan? I'm your fiancée. When will you stop all these childish acts? ”“I'm breaking off our engagement, Ella” Damon responded coldly. His blank eyes stared at her emotionally Ella's jaw tickled and a sharp glint passed her eyes “It's too early for s
