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

On the other side of the city, Reid woke up in an abandoned warehouse with his clothes covered in blood and sweat. The last thing he recalled was the way he followed Chris from the party hall. He was privy to getting an invitation to the party the Rice family hosted and when he saw Chris, he lost it. He felt jealous and vexed when Chris hot to sit with the Rice family all because he was the heir of the Westminster family. Even Reid’s family had to go through a lot of hurdles due to get the invitation but Chris walked in freely like he owned the place. Reid thought back to when he used to bully Chris, who would thought that timid cleaner then was an heir. He still didn't understand how Chris was able to climb to the top but it didn't matter now. All that mattered was that Chris was now levels ahead of him and no matter what, Reid was going to bring him down. He stood up to his feet and found his phone quickly. Swiftly, he put a call across to his parents, asking them to come pic

Chris wasn't satisfied with the vague information his father had given him. If there was a deep grudge between the families, he wanted to know. However, he was being pushed to the forefront of the battle without any clue. “Chris?” Jones called out, wanting an answer. “I am not interested.” Chris hissed and in the next second, he walked back to his bedroom. He had planned to leave home to work that morning and he did just that. He could bury his head in work and forget about the baggage around him. Thirty minutes later, Chris was ready for work and he walked out to meet his father in the same position he left him in. “I see you are ready to leave...” Jones took a proud look at his son. But still, Chris gave no heed to his father’s words. But Jones didn't mind, he knew Chris would soon come to terms with what he was saying. “Prepare, Chris. The country will want to know who the heir to the Westminster family is…”Jones’s words faded out as Chris walked out of the house. Rico Axe

Chris went still and the wind outside the mansion blew so loud that everyone could hear. No one said a word and even Ria knew to keep her mouth shut. However, Mia started to weep so loud since the silence was eating up her soul. “I am sorry, Chris. I had to do it… I had to save my family.” She cried. “Now, I regret it so much–”“Shut up! You bitch!” Ria snarled. “There is no amount of begging that will make Chris forgive your useless ass. It’s too late to beg for forgiveness. If you were so sorry, why didn't you tell him everything that happened?”Mia couldn't refute Ria’s words. But deep down, she knew she had tried to do things her own way. From pushing Chris away and not trying to get close to him. However, she ended up getting close to him because he was the only one who came to her aid when she got in trouble with her parents and Reid. “I am sorry…” She whispered. “Chris, what are you going to do to her? She doesn't deserve to be even called a friend!”All eyes were now on Ch

“What?” Chris frowned, in total confusion. “What are you saying?” He stared at Ria intently, expecting her to speak up but she only burst into more tears. The elegant Ria was no more and it only left a lady that was saddled with too many negative emotions while she tried to catch the eye of the person she wanted the most. “I…” She stuttered, crouching to the floor while she wiped her tears. The pain from her wrist caused her to wince in pain and she was overwhelmed with a sense of grief and hate. “I waited for you at the hospital. I harmed myself, just to see you but you didn't show up…” She cried. “I thought you brought me back home to give me a new life and here I was, hoping that I would see your face again.”“I was ready to do whatever, for you to see me in a new light again…” Her lips quivered as her voice shook. “But no… that wasn't your plan. You brought me back here to suffer. You wouldn't even look at me and all through you had your gaze on that bitch!”“That traitor!” Ri

Chris walked away from Baron and seeing that it was futile to speak to Chris, Baron slowly slipped back into his car. He was so annoyed that Chris had to ignore him but he was now hellbent on getting Chris's attention. There were a lot of things he needed to achieve and with Chris by his side, he would do better. Swiftly, he took out his phone and texted an undercover agent who usually worked for him. He wanted to do a background check on Chris and he needed it under 24 hours. On the other hand, Chris had reached Rico Axe and Mia who was still shaking in fear on the hard road. She looked pale as a ghost and she cried to Chris to get her out of there. She didn't want to see Reid’s bloody face as it reminded her of a lot of unpleasant memories. “We will be leaving soon. We have requested for a car to come pick us up.” Chris assured her and she nodded slowly. All she did throughout the time they waited was to stay by Chris's side, not daring to look at Reid.When the car finally ar
Baron’s Offer
Reid never expected the car that crashed into him. It came from nowhere, where he wasn't even looking. He thought he had cornered Chris and he could finally have Chris in his grasp but he thought wrong. “Oh fuck” Reid coughed blood due to the impact he got from the other car. However, the other car didn't stop. It reversed and was aiming for Reid’s car again. Reid knew he had to get out of the car as soon as possible, or else, he would die instead of Chris. Swiftly, he took out the seat belt and flew out of the car before there was another impact. Bang!The impact came when he rolled to the floor, his hands and legs enduring scratches from the hard ground. At the same time, he watched his car roll down the highway, falling off the bridge. At that moment, he felt his life flash before his eyes and he wondered when things went wrong. When will he finally get back at Chris? When?He stood up to his feet, wiping the blood off his face. Chris was in the middle of the road and his ey

Walker quickly followed Chris out as he was overjoyed that his family now saw him in a new light. He didn't care if he had to lick Chris’ feet, all he knew was that he wanted to be the top and Chris was going to help him achieve that. “You can go in now…” Chris said as he got to his car with Mia. He opened the car door for Mia to get in and soon they drove off with Walker still standing behind. However, they didn't notice that Baron had also slipped out of the party hall into his car and he followed after Chris.On the other hand, Chris was silent in the car while Mia stared at him with a gaze filled with admiration. Her breath hitched, seeing Chris in a new light. “When are you going to stop looking at me?” Chris sneered. “Well… maybe never…” Mia shook her head and shrugged her shoulders. “I never knew you were so strong.”“If you knew, what would change?” Chris snickered. “Well…nothing.” She shook her head again but then she didn't turn her gaze away from him still. “I just fel
Strife
Knock!Knock!!Two organized knocks resounded on the door and Chade immediately went to check on who it was. For a moment, he hesitated going back to the Chairman with what he had just received because the Chairman would surely rage in anger. But this would solidly solidify that Jones was planning something. He took the box from the messenger and went back to the Chairman. This time, he didn't bow because he had somehow crossed that boundary and there was no need to go back. “Chairman, there is a package from the Westminster family. It’s says it’s a present to you…” Chase read out the card attached to the package. When he looked up at the Chairman, he realized Gerald’s whole demeanor had changed. One thing Gerald hated was receiving gift packages from guests. The reason behind that was unknown to Chase or anyone in the family. “That Jones is definitely brazen…” Gerald sneered, trying to tone down his anger and hatred. He looked straight at the package with no ounce of emotion.
The Rice Family Patriarch
The Rice family mansion. The Chairman and patriarch of the Rice family stood before a large LED screen with footage of the party playing on it. He had watched the moment Chase was subdued by Chris and he had also watched when Albert was rushed out of the party hall. Now, he had his eyes on Chris, with a confused gaze. “An heir of the Westminster? Where did he come from?” Chairman Gerald groaned in displeasure. He had made several and deep investigations into Jones Westminster over the years and he never thought that Jones had a son. If he knew, he wouldn't have…His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a knock on the door. “Chairman…” Chase walked in from the door, with his head bowed as he couldn't dare to stand straight up before the Chairman after what had happened. It was a disgrace. “Are you sure he is the Westminster’s son?” Gerald asked, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the chair he was on. “I am still making investigations, Chairman,” Chase said, his lips quiv
