Margaret pursed her lips together and lowered her eyelashes. She laid back on his chest and asked “I don't understand why you did that, still. But, I trust you”Jeremy's shoulders stiffened when he heard Margaret's latter sentence. Trust? If she knew all the things he had done, would she still trust him? “Father is a good person. And Nathan, he's a good kid. You have a wonderful family. Even master and madam were wonderful people, life is just an irony for letting good people die so quickly” She said Jeremy's entire body felt like rock. His body stiffened. He couldn't move a muscle, even his heartbeat seemed to have reduced its pace He has never really thought of the possibility of Margaret finding out about the things he has done. It doesn't matter anyway, if she finds out, she'd have no choice than to take his side. They're married, he should be her first priority Besides, Jeremy was sure she wouldn't find out. In fact, he was sure nobody would Soon, he'll send Damon to where
“Why are you interested in my matter?” Carter rubbed swallowed the boule of turkey without chewing and raised a brow at Jeremy “Did that kid send you here?”Carter gulped down a glass of water and stood up from the chair “Are you in cohorts with him?”He lifted his legs and wanted to run out the door but Jeremy's words stopped him “Do I look like someone that takes order from anyone?”Carter looked down at Jeremy's shoes. Its shine and quality looked like it had more worth than Carter's entire being It's true. He looked like a wealthy man. Probably even more than Damon. What reason would he have to listen to Damon. Besides, Carter was sure he had never seen Jeremy, so it's impossible for Jeremy to harbour any vengeful intent towards him He returned to his seat and continued from where he was and dug into the leftovers on the table “Do you know who his biological parents are? I mean, that boy that was chasing you” Jeremy asked “I have no clue. How do you want to help me? You see, I
“Alright, mother” Damon responded. Ambrose's mother handed the phone back to Ambrose “Uhm… I-I'll see you tomorrow then” Since Ambrose's mother was unaware of her relationship with Damon, Ambrose didn't know how to talk to Damon in presence of her mother “Mhm. Don't be nervous” As though Damon was able to sense that Ambrose was restless, he tried to calm her “Yes. Good night”The call ended Immediately the call dropped, Brandon's call entered Damon had no intention of picking up. A lot was roaming through his mind and the last thing he wanted was someone to cause him more headache. But, Brandon was persistent. He kept calling. Damon ruffled his hair and connected the call “Nathan! I've got big news for you. But it's not a good one though” Brandon's voice loudly rang through the phone's speaker “Leave it to tomorrow morning”Damon replied “This can't wait. It's about that girl you like, Ambrose”“What happened?”“Earlier today at the set, Ella almost ripped Ambrose's hair off i
But then he remembered that Jeremy promised him a huge sum of money if he successfully get Damon to go back to Dallen Haves with him He stood his ground and replied “Sounds like you're trying to bribe me. You have a choice here, kid. Come back home with me or face backlash from the world”Damon stayed quiet and stared at Carter. He parted his lips to say “Let's talk inside, Uncle”“No, I won't go with you. You've made a very big mistake, kid. And if you don't come back with me, you should be ready to face the consequences” Carter continuedDamon didn't respond. Rather, he signalled to Kelvin and Lucas who were in their car behind Carter Before Carter could utter another statement, his hands got grabbed from behind. “Let me go!”He tried to wave himself off but he couldn't. He turned to Damon “Kid, are these people your men? Tell me to let me go, or else?”“Or else what?” Damon's sharp gaze and heavy words caused Carter's confidence to waver. “Who are you calling kid?”Lucas kicked h
“It's fine, let him go”Damon replied “Jeez, you all better treat me well whenever you see me. I'm like an uncle to your boss” Carter flared his nostrils and pointed at them“Get out of here. I'm like his father. I'm more important to him than you are. You better pay more respect and know where you stand, you hear me?” Orlando pushed Carter out of the way and went into the car “I'm his uncle! I have a better stand in his life!”Carter yelled at Orlando as he entered the car and pointed to his chest. He turned to Damon and said “Can I take a ride in your car? Drop me off at the main road”“Go in the car behind us. There's no space here for you” Orlando replied from inside the car “No, I want to–”Damon cut the rest of his sentence “Go in the other car”He then went into the car Carter wrinkled his nose and marched into Kelvin and Lucas's car. They all dispersed. Damon went to work with Orlando while Carter dropped from the other car when he reached where he would alight When Damon g
Mrs Patel brought out her phone and made a call to her husband, but the phone call wasn't going through “The call is not going through, but don't worry. Relax”“Thank you, mother” Baron said, hugged his mother and went to his room Meanwhile, after Carter got dropped off. He went back to that restaurant where Jeremy took him to the previous day. He didn't know where he lived, or he any way of contacting him “Excuse me” Carter called out to the waiter that attended to them the previous day “Hello sir. How may I help you. If you'd like to make an order, please have your seat, i or any other person will come to attend to you” The waiter replied skillfully and with respect “No, no. I'm not here to make an order. I want to ask you something”“What's it? Please do understand that I must not be seen lazing around and having a chat with someone during work hours, so make it snappy”“Okay, I will” Carter harrumphed and said “Do you remember me? I came here last night with a man, a wealthy m
“Why do you need me to pretend to be your girlfriend?” Laura raised a brow Nobody knew, but for the past few days, Brandon's mother had been choking him with complaints. Always telling him to bring home a girl He had no woman in his life at that moment. In fact, Brandon had cut down from his playboy lifestyle. And the only way he could think of was to get someone to pretend to be his partner The only person he could think of was Laura “My mother has been yapping about bringing a girl home to her “ Brandon replied “I don't agree. There are other millions of girls to choose from”“Laura, don't be so harsh. If I had other choices, I wouldn't have come to you”“Exactly! You came to me only because I was your only option, not because I'm the right person for it. You always mention and show how poorly I act and dress, if that's the case, I'm sure your mother wouldn't be impressed either”She closed the tab and placed it into her bag “No, my mother certainly will be impressed. She's not
“You? What are you doing here? And why are you calling him your young master?” Ambrose's mother got up from the couch and went to stand in front of Orlando “Because I work for him. What are you doing here? When did you move to the city?” Orlando asked “Well, I'm here to see my daughter. And well, he's my child too. Who knew you'll ever lower yourself to work under my son. Remember back then in Dallen Haves, I begged you to help me fix my electricity, but you acted aloof”Ambrose's mother smiled smugly and wrapped her hands together “Your son? Young master is your son? Ohh, wait, are you his girlfriend's mother?” Orlando immediately wrapped his head around the whole thing He turned to the side when he felt a sharp gaze on him. Damon was shooting daggers at him with his eyes and he could feel his stare boring holes inside him. Orlando didn't even feel fear. He raised a brow as though asking “Why are you looking at me that way?”“Which girlfriend?”Before Orlando could say anything,
