“Am I the one you're talking to in such a manner?” The Chancellor asked in an angry tone and Smith got annoyed. “Who are you?” He asked in a cold and firm tone. The man was threatened and shaken by Smith's tone. Somehow, he had a feeling that Smith wasn't an ordinary person. He seemed to be an experienced person. The man cleared his throat and adjusted the glass on his face then slammed his hand on the table. “I didn't call you here to question me. I just want you to know that fighting or bullying isn't allowed in this institution,” the man said. “Okay but you should have…” the man interrupted Smith before he could complete his statement. “And as for the girl you got into a fight with, I have warned her and I'm sure such a thing won't happen again,” the Chancellor said and he nodded his head in response. With a single glance, he could tell that the Chancellor was lying to him about scolding the girl he bumped into but he didn't say anything about it. “Okay, sir. I'll take my lea
“You're not from the Edward family?” The man asked with a cold look on his face and he smirked inwardly. “I'm from the Edwards family but not the legendary family that you're thinking about. They aren't the only family alive, right?” Smith asked and crossed his arms beneath his chest. “But how could you lie that you're from the Edward family? How dare you play pranks on me?” The chancellor asked with an angry look on his face. “I wonder why you're so pissed because of what just happened. You can't really blame me, can you? You wouldn't have called me if you didn't have a feeling that I was from that feeling and what you did was wrong.”“You called me to apologize, didn't you?” Smith asked in a cold tone and the man kept quiet. Smith chuckled softly and rubbed his hand on his tightened knuckles. “I'm sorry for making you have a split heartache. I believe you'll be fine after drinking some water.”“Good luck with your work. I hope you'll be transparent next time,” Smith said in a ca
“Huh?” Smith stared at her with a surprised look on her face. She stopped chuckling and turned to him with a serious gaze on her face. “Are you serious about not participating in the contest?” She asked in a cold tone and he nodded his head affirmatively. “Yes, I'm serious about it. So what's the problem?” He asked and she shrugged. “The problem is how could you have such a rare opportunity to participate in a competition that could get you millions of dollars worth of goods and you refused to participate despite your intelligence,” she said and he nodded his head gently. “Thank you ma'am. But that's not the reason why I'm here. I came for a purpose. Everything else doesn't matter to me,” he responded and turned to leave. “So even when you'll be given access to a secret room with different old artifacts, you won't still participate?” She asked and he stopped on his track. “Old artifacts?” He asked and she nodded her head in response. “Okay ma'am. I have heard you. I'll think abo
“Are you sure that he's a newbie?” Linda said with a surprised look on her face. She turned to Ava with a confused look on my face. Smith kept a straight face without saying anything. “Yes. He's a newbie. He just enrolled into this institution. And he was late,” she replied. “Are you sure of what you're saying? He answered all the questions correctly,” Linda said with a surprised look on her face. She stared at Smith from time to time without taking her gaze away from her. She kept staring at him in such a way that Ava became jealous for whatever reason known to her. “I don't know either,” Ava said and moved closer to him then grabbed his arms. Ava thought the course advisor was having a crush on Smith. Meanwhile Linda, on the other hand, was thinking about something else. She was confident that she was going to win the contest because she was the top 1 student in the institution but Smith came and won her with so much ease. Who is he? Hope he won't be participating in the con
“Okay, that's a good thing to know but I'd like to ask you a question too,” Smith said in a calm yet dangerous tone. “What is that?” She asked and looked up instantly. “Do you think staying close to me or considering me as your friend will make up for everything you and your family did to me?” He asked and she kept quiet. She stared at him for a while, speechless. She didn't know what to say or do at that moment because he was wrong. If she was in his shoes, she would do worse. She couldn't forget how she and her family mistreated him and looked down upon him because he was a slave. He tried all he could do to satisfy all the family members but neither of them appreciated him. Instead they took advantage of him. Everyone avoided him as though he was a plague. No one wanted to have any relationship with him. Only his wife was there for him during those times. She stood by his side which was the reason why he intended on revealing the wealth he possessed to her until she decided t
“What are you talking about, young Master?” Micheal asked and Smith shrugged. “Continue with your work and send my regards to your colleague,” Smith said and hung up on the call before Micheal could say anything. He took a deep breath and flagged for a cab. He sat down inside the passenger seat and rubbed his hands under his chin. “Here we are,” the driver said and parked in front of his apartment. He came down from the cab and stretched some bundle of cash to the driver, who was happy. “Thank you, Sir,” he said and drove off. He walked into his apartment and locked the door. He slumped hard on the couch and breathed out heavily. He pulled off his clothes and dropped them on the floor after relaxing for a while. He entered the bathroom and turned on the shower. He took a deep breath and shoved himself inside the bathtub which was filled with cold water.He stood up from the bathtub and walked out of the bathroom with water dripping from his body. He entered his bedroom and pulle
“Who's the one calling me again?” Madam Kate asked with a frustrated look on her face as she received a message from her. She was resting on the bed until a message beeped into her phone. “It has better be good news,” she muttered and stood up from the bed instead of calling for the maids to reach out for the phone on her behalf. She walked toward the table where she kept her phone and picked it up from the table. She swiped it open and her eyes widened in shock upon reading the content of the letter. She couldn't believe her eyes. What! I can't believe this is happening. “Hello,” she dialed her favorite grandson's number, Micheal. “Hello, Micheal,” she called and he groaned softly. “What is it, Granny?” He asked in a low tone. It seems he was taking a nap as well. It was late over there. “You'd better keep shut and listen to me. The Newcastle Corporation has replied concerning the project,” she said and he gasped out in shock. “What! Are you sure about what you're talking abo
Smith picked up his phone and called Micheal as a thought crossed his mind. “Good day, Young Master,” he greeted. “How may I help you?” Micheal asked. “It's simple. Do you have any spies in the Rodriguez's family?” Smith asked and Micheal shook his head negatively. “Yes, I do. Is there any problem?” Micheal asked in a concerned tone and he shrugged. “Of course, there's no problem but I'd like to know whether you have any information on my ex-wife,” Smith said and Micheal arched his eyebrows. “I don't really have much information concerning her because it had been long since she stepped her feet into the greenhouse that belonged to her Grandma,” Michael said and he arched his eyebrows. “Does that mean she has not been attending any of the meetings that her grandma hosted?” He asked and Micheal nodded his head. “That's right, young Master. It seems she's no longer with them. It seems after the little encounter you'd with her, she no longer interacts with them,” he said.“Oh. That
