2024-11-08 23:20:04Bastien swallowed a big lump in his throat seeing the menacing look in Chris’s eyes. He took several steps back, and said shakily, “Don’t scare me, little boy.”
However, his back hit one of the men in black and he staggered to the side. “Hey! Apologize!” He snarled but then the man didn't even spare him a glance as he walked up to meet Chris.
He seemed to be the boss and he bowed before Chris, “Hello, Young Master Chris. I hope we didn't delay for too long.”
“Nahh… it’s alright.” Chris waved his hand in dismissal. “What’s your name?”
“Mason, young master.” Mason straightened up and then his eyes zeroed in on Bastien who had his mouth gaped in shock.
“How do you want us to punish the man who offended the heir of the Westminster family, young master?”
“What?” Bastien let out in shock and not only was he shocked, but the car insurance expert was also shocked.
“Little kid! Don't tell me you are the heir of the Westminster family. The owner of the biggest consortium in the country?” The insurance expert was amazed and he was trying to approach Chris when Mason blocked him.
“Step aside, please.” Mason pushed the expert away and he staggered toward Bastien who looked horrified at the realization that he had just offended a big fish while he was just a seashell.
Bastien felt his knees go weak and he wasn't ignorant of how powerful the Westminster family was. In the next second, he went down on his knees and a tear dropped from his eyes.
“Please…” He started to crawl toward Chris. “I didn't know what came over me.”
But before he could even get to Chris, Mason stepped forward and kicked him backward.
Bang!
Bastien’s back slammed on the VW car he damaged and he coughed up blood. But swiftly, he got down on his knees again. He didn't mind begging to save his life.
“I'm sorry. If I knew you were the heir of the Westminster family, I wouldn't have done it!” This time, his tears flowed freely as he whimpered, bowed, and rubbed his palms at the same time.
Chris couldn't believe what he had just said and it even got him even angrier, “So, if I was a normal person, you would have done the same thing to me, huh?”
“No…” Bastien shook his head, realizing the weight of his words. “I will never. I have learned my lessons.”
It took a few minutes of begging before Chris stopped him. He didn't like the way the onlookers were staring and he just wanted to get the hell out of there.
“Listen,” Chris demanded Bastien’s attention. “As long as you compensate me for the car, then you can go your way.”
Bastien nodded, vigorously. He knew that this was the best resolution he could get otherwise, he might lose his arm or his leg.
“Mason, see to it that he pays everything–”
“No.” Mason cut Chris curtly. Chris frowned with a displeased look and Mason went on to explain, “As the heir of the Westminster family, you have a dignity that cannot be violated. So, he has to be punished and it will serve as a lesson to others.” Mason glared at the onlookers and they all took a step back fearfully.
“No…please.” Bastien shook his head and started to crawl toward Chris again but one man in black was quick to drag him at Mason’s signal.
Mason took the baseball bat from earlier as they dragged Bastien to his yellow Ferrari.
“Watch this!” Mason smirked wickedly and before everyone, he swung the bat straight at the car’s window with so much force.
Bang!
The glass shards flew all over, piercing Bastien’s face and flying over. The onlookers were quick to run away to safety while the men in black shielded Chris.
However, Chris didn't feel settled watching this, not only was Mason destroying the car, he was harming Bastien as well.
“Please! Stop him!” Bastien ran to beg Chris, crying, “That is all I have.” He had used all his money for that car.
“Mason, that’s okay.”
“No, Young Master Chris. You must not speak up for people like him.” With every word, Mason hit the car, making several dents deeper than the one on the VW car.
“You just have to sit back and relax. You are no longer a poor student and you represent the Westminster family. You have to keep up the powerful front.”
Chris had no words of rebuttal. Mason was right. He realized he needed to accept that this may be the norm unless people learned to respect him. But then he warned the men not to harm Bastien further and just deal with the car.
“I’ll be right back.” He told one of the men in black and went straight to the mall. Soon, he found a luxury store that sold gifts suitable for girls like Mia.
He wanted to get her the most expensive thing, so he didn't hesitate.
He walked to the glass door of the store, however, a woman dressed in flashy clothes with gold rings lining her fingers walked out of the store. She was about to pass by but then stopped, seeing how Chris looked.
She stopped him.
“I'm sorry, you can’t go in.” She eyed him from head to toe.
“Excuse me? Why?” Chris was perplexed.
“Well… look at you. A poor guy like you who can't afford good clothes definitely can't afford the luxury goods in there.”
The woman’s voice was high-pitched, attracting the attention of other buyers and the attendants. Quickly, a female attendant walked forward and bowed before the woman.
“Mrs. Wales, is there a problem?” The attendant was so respectful like she was going to be harmed if she didn't do so.
“Yes. There is a problem,” The woman eyed Chris maliciously and pointed at him, with a sneer, “Why is there a beggar in this store?”

“What are you saying?” Chris felt a burst of anger and he frowned, displeased. “I am not a beggar and don’t look like one. You are the one who shouldn’t be in this store since you can’t be respectful to other buyers.”The rush from his encounter with Bastien was still registered in his mind and he wouldn't let another person try to insult him again. “You!” Mrs. Wales was shocked that he talked back at her. “You dare to talk back? You dare talk to me about respect?” She shouted, and even pointed her fingers, poking Chris in the head.“Can you see anyone dressed like you in here? Is this someplace where you can walk into just as you please?” Her pokes moved from his head to his chest as she almost dug her sharp nails into his flesh.Even the female attendant, did a double take at Chris to really see if he was dressed as a beggar, and to her, it was kind of true.“Get your hands off me.” Chris took a step back, slapping her wrist away from his sight.“And what if I don’t?” Mrs. Wales st

“Honey, you are here.” Mrs. Wales, ran toward the burly man, looking all coy, different from her arrogant self. She hugged her husband, swooning like an earthworm with her body glued to his. She didn't even care that she was in a public space!However, the husband loved it. It only took a few whispers into his ears and an angry look formed on his face. “Who dares to bully you, my wife?” The husband thundered and before Mrs. Wales could answer, Bella walked forward warily.“Hello, Mr. Gareth, it’s good to see you here.” Bella tried to be respectful to tone down the situation. Gareth took one look at Bella and glared at her arrogantly, “Did you bully my wife? I am sure you know who she is, right?”“Oh, she is your wife—”“Yes, I am!” Mrs. Wales cut her off, looking so proud. “Honey, this ordinary store manager insulted and bullied me. She didn’t even apologize to me and even dared to support that beggar over me. And that poor man over there dares to disrespect me.” She pointed at Chri

Gareth’s head was down low and all he could see was his boss’ shiny shoes. A proud man a while ago was now bowing like a dog. However, his boss didn't even pay any heed to his greetings. He walked past Gareth and went to stand before Chris. “Kid, can I see that badge again?” He asked. Chris looked from the man to the gold badge. His father had told him this could be used anywhere to declare his family status, had someone finally recognized the badge?“First, tell me who you are.” Chris didn't show the badge to him. He wanted to be sure this man was a really sensible person, or else he ran the risk of being embarrassed again about his badge. “Oh, my bad.” The dignified man chuckled. “I am Alexander McQueen, owner of the McQueen brand. I own this mall. I used to work with the Westminster family and I know that badge.” “Oh, really?” Chris raised his brows, he was impressed. At least, this man knew about the Westminster badge. He looked trustworthy enough. “Yes. I would like to take

Gareth and his wife were dragged away, leaving the atmosphere tense and overwhelmed. The onlookers were wowed and unexpectedly, they burst into a round of applause. “Wow… look at him. He is so cool.” “I wish to be the heir of the Westminster family too. Imagine how much money he has.” Listening to their words, Chris felt proud but he didn't let those words get into his head too much. He wanted to go back to his main purpose of visiting the mall. The applause came to an end and everyone dispersed. “Can I shop for the things I want now?” He asked Alexander. “Yeah… sure. But you don’t need to worry. You will be taken to the VIP section and everything you need will be brought to you.” Alexander suggested. “That will work.” Chris nodded. Alexander started to lead Chris toward the top floor of the mall. But then Bella Shaw stepped forward, pulling the edge of his clothes. “Thank you for not letting me get fired.” She whispered. “It's nothing. You didn't do anything wrong in the fi

“You shithead! Where are you? Aren't you coming anymore?” Mia’s worried voice rang through Chris’ phone. She had been calling him nonstop thinking he wasn't going to attend her party. Chris's expression softened and he smiled, “Don’t worry. I am here.” He looked out of the window to see that he was at the venue already. “Quick! Hurry in! I am so tired of these obnoxious people around me.” She said and ended the call. Chris let out a sigh knowing she was referring to the second-generation rich heirs she invited to the party. He knew how obnoxious they could be and he also didn't want to get involved with them. He got out of his car in the parking lot and took the elevator to the floor where the party was happening. As soon as he got in, he spotted Mia who was at the forefront of the decorated hall with a few friends. He smiled a bit seeing her so happy and he was about to walk toward her when he received a tap on his shoulder.He turned around to see Reid and Ren, the arrogant bas

Chris walked with Mia, hand in hand toward her table. He was quite happy that Mia stood up for him. She was also a second-generation rich heir but she was so humble and kind and didn't discriminate against him when he was a poor cleaner. As they passed by the guests, they all looked at him in awe and he could hear how they were proud he beat up Reid, especially.“I heard what happened today. I am sorry I couldn't come see you at the police station. I heard about it at my party.” She said. Chris had no problem with it. After such an unfortunate event, a lot of goodies came out. So he was quite cool. “Also, I am happy you punched that bastard…” Mia continued and then whispered, “And that cheating bitch. I warned you about her.” She was talking about Melissa.“Turns out you were right. Melissa’s case is closed, Mia. I don't want her anywhere near me.” Chris realized that he had not even thought about or processed his breakup with Melissa. It was just a gust of wind that blew away so q

“No…” Chris shook his head. “I don’t care whether you think I am wearing a fake or not. I have nothing to prove to you.”“Now, get lost.” Chris pushed Shantel’s hand away and was about to leave but Ria quickly stood in his way. “But I care,” Ria said, folding her hands. She stared down at him, her stance looked intimidating. “And who are you?” He asked, looking straight at her. Ria was quite surprised he wasn't intimidated by her and she felt even more intrigued. “I am Ria McQueen. Alexander, the owner of the Queen’s brand is my brother.” She introduced herself, proudly. “Ohh…” Chris chuckled. He realized why she was so concerned about his clothes. “I just need to check your sleeves to know whether your clothes are fake or not. If they are, I am going to personally sue you for soiling my brother’s brand.” Ria declared, her eyes flashing with a wicked glint. “Yes! Sue him!” Shantel had not gotten over the embarrassment she was facing from both Ria and Chris and she wanted nothing

“Are you sure about that?” Mia asked, feeling a bit scared for Chris. “It's okay.” He shrugged. Ria took this as the cue to call her brother and she did. The phone rang and on the second ring, the call connected. It was on speaker phone but then Ria didn't let her brother know it was. “Hi, Big brother…” Ria smiled as she greeted her brother. “Yes, Ria. Are you okay? Do you need some money?” Alexander asked, his tone caring. The other people looked at Ria with envious gazes, especially Shantel. Ria had parents and a brother who was ready to spend on her, yet their families were rocky even though they had wealth. “No, bro. But if you want to send me some. You can.” Ria chuckled. Mia couldn't help but roll her eyes and she just wanted to shout at Ria to go straight to the point. “Alright. Is there anything else?” Alexander asked. “Yes, big bro. There is someone named Chris here…” Ria watched Chris for any change of expression but there was nothing. So, she continued, “He claims h

Following Chris
“How did it go?” Chris asked as he scrolled through a few documents on his phone. He was particularly concerned about how Mars had reacted to the order he gave. “We have nothing from him. After he left the meeting room, he disappeared.” Rico Axe said. “He just disappeared?” Chris raised a brow in question. “Yes!” Rico nodded. “Can you find more information on him? Something about him just ticks me off. His sudden appearance is suspicious.” Chris demanded, his gaze turning dim in thought. “Alright. I will do that.” Rico nodded. “Also, the police have requested your presence.” “Why?” Chris frowned. “Reid is yet to be found and they are asking if you can give them any information. They need you in for questioning tomorrow.”“Hmm…” Chris frowned, feeling like something was off. He didn't think Reid had the resources to hide so well but. He could decide to mobilize his men to look for Reid but it could interfere with the police work. However, on his end, Reid was a ticking time bom
Mars’ Dilemma
Mars stared at Walker Rice, hoping he would do something and say something on his behalf but that didn't happen. Walked joined Rico Axe in staring at him, waiting for him to leave. On the other hand, Mars knew he couldn't just leave, or else he would be in a lot of trouble. “Can you tell me why?” He asked Rico, trying to stay calm. “I can’t say, Mr. Mars. My job is to receive direct orders from my boss.” Rico shook his head, nonchalantly. Finally, his last resort, Mars looked at Walker, “Boss, do something.”Walker closed his eyes, torn between speaking up for Mars and just continuing the meeting. There was a lot at stake and he couldn't afford to offend Chris. So he said, “Maybe you should think about what you did. Chris wouldn't just do a thing like this. While you are out, reflect on your actions.”Mars was taken aback. He begged for the deal to be reinstated and a while ago, Walker was commending him and now, he was being treated like someone who had done wrong. In that mome
See Your Assistant Out
Chris was right in the car, staring curiously at Mars who kept banging his head on the hard floor. Even though he was dripping with blood down his head, Mars didn't stop. Also, Chris observed that his skin tore way too easily. He wasn't concerned about the self-harming Mars but he was incredibly curious. It seemed Mars was unpredictable. And as he looked out of the windscreen, with the lights shining on Mars’ face, it was as if Mars was looking back at him, with an eerie smile. Even though he was obviously in pain, Mars was smiling. But the most disturbing thing was that the car windows were tinted and there was no way Mars knew Chris was looking at him. He was just staring. Second by second, he looked even more unpredictable to Chris and irked him so much. If Chris wanted to, he could drive off and leave him to continue self-harming but he didn't do that. He stepped out of the car, his hands in his pockets as he approached Mars. “Do you want to die here?” Chris spoke up, standi

Pak!“Are you out of your fucking mind?” Walker yelled. “Who do you think you are to ruin a billion-dollar deal like that?”“Can your whole existence ever pay for it?” Walker snarled, his eyes twitching because he was feeling extreme anger. He wanted to raise his hand at Mars again but he held back, breathing heavily. “I am sorry.” Mars bowed his head slightly. “I didn't know what came over me. I misspoke.”“I don’t care if you misspoke! The only reason why you are here today is because my father asked me to take you along as my assistant!” “If he realizes you are trying to ruin this deal, he is going to do the unimaginable to you, do you understand?” Walker hinted at what could happen. His father was banking on this deal as well and a mere assistant couldn't just ruin it. “I am
Mars’ Extreme Reaction
The office went completely silent, as Chris looked straight at Mars. At the same time, Walker looked nervous and quickly sat up.“Don’t worry, Chris. I will do it. Mars here has an issue with talking and he won't be able to do it.” Walker rushed to get the proposal documents they had prepared. “Is that so?” Chris asked, looking at Mars intently and Mars never for once took his eyes off Chris too. It was like they had a staring contest which ticked Chris off the wrong way. “Hey, Mars!” Walker called, interrupting the staring competition. “Come help me.”Mars nodded before standing up and Chris was finally able to concentrate. However, through the proposal meeting, Mars was all quiet, silently giving everything Walker needed. And by the end of everything, he looked like a zombie, just moving around and being told what to do. Even though it wasn't an abnormal situation, Chris found it odd. “So, what do you think?” Walker asked, his eyes glistening with expectations. “It’s good. I wi

Five days later…Chris sat at his desk, right in the CEO’s office, however, he was staring into space. Too much time had passed and Baron was still being held in custody and the police was still looking for him. He had expected Gerald to reach out to him by now but nothing was happening. “Boss…” Rico Axe walked in, with a serious expression. “Is there any news from the Rice family?” He asked. “No.” Rico shook his head. “However, there is another important news.” Immediately, Chris perked up, raising his brows in question. “Mike was arrested after the evidence that was released but Reid is still nowhere to be found. His last location was a warehouse but we still cannot find him yet.” Rico Axe explained, looking a bit worried. “Really?” Chris raises his brows again. He had almost forgotten that people like Mike and Reid existed because he thought he was done with that chapter. He now recalled that Reid was supposed to pay him 36 million dollars because of the car he wrecked. “Did

“Master?” Reid scoffed, even though he was weak. He felt the masked man’s words before him were laughable and he struggled to sit up on the chair while still tied. He wiped the side of his face where blood was and continued to speak “Who still does master and servant in this day and age? You may be a minion to someone, but it doesn't mean–”Pak!That slap came unexpectedly and it swept Reid off the chair again. This time, the rope used to tie him broke and he became free. However, before he could even begin to escape, Gerald stepped forward. He had a rod in hand and in the next second, he swung it straight at his head. “Ahhh…” Reid gasped, his body shook in pain and he held his head. “You…” He couldn't speak anymore because as the second passed by, Gerald continued to hit him. Bang!Bang!!Continuous beatings resounded in the room and soon, Reid lay on the floor, almost lifeless. His body was bloodied and his eyes were dizzy. At that moment, Gerald took off his mask but Reid co

In the Rice family mansion…Chase was pacing up and down before the patriarch's study room and his gaze was filled with turmoil. He had no way of breaking the news to Gerald that something had gone wrong with Baron. The patriarch had given him a chance to live and prove himself before and now, he was afraid he was going to be gunned down immediately. “If you keep pacing out there, I will think you are hiding something from me, Chase.” Gerald’s voice rang out in the corridor and his head snapped up to look at the camera which was above the door. The patriarch could see every one of his movements and now, he realized he had no choice but to go in. And when he did, he walked carefully toward the partition in the study and he had to close his eyes in preparation for whatever he was going to see behind the partition. “My lord…” Chase went in with a bow and slowly looked up at Gerald. However, he was quick to look down again because the patriarch’s face looked unsightly, like dead skin
The Shareholders Saga
“Is there anyone else who wants to join him?” Chris’ voice boomed through the meeting room and his eyes zeroed in on the other shareholders who had lost their shares. They all went quiet, afraid that Chris was going to throw them out. “Good.” Chris nodded, in satisfaction, seeing that none of them dared to speak up again. “Now, let’s begin.” “Can we start, father?” He asked. “Yes.” Jones perked up immediately. He looked at them all with a serious gaze, “Your bad planning of selling the shares is not my son’s fault.”“However, we are working on finding who the unknown buyer is.” Jones tried to calm their minds. “If you find this buyer, Chairman, are we going to get our shares back? We made mistakes and we want to retrace our steps.” Some of them asked, anxious that they may never get the chance to sit at that meeting anymore. “We have to know who bought it.” They declared! Chris sat there, watching the commotion. If he should reveal that he bought it, he couldn't decipher how ex
