"Wow!" A soft gasp escaped from his lips as he stared at the report in his hand. It was too huge to be real. According to the report in his hand, his father owned the larger shares in most of the prominent and well-known companies in the State.

"Are you sure this report is real?" He asked in a cold tone as he regained his composure.

She nodded her head affirmatively with a bright smile beaming on her face. "Yes, Sir."

"The emperor owns the higher shares in most of the well-known companies in this State but it's only a few that are independent of themselves," she said respectfully, and he nodded his head.

He closed the file and pushed it aside. He stood up from the chair with a cold look on his face and breathed out heavily.

His first day in office wasn't as stressful as he thought it would be because Victoria was there to report any issues and make sure they were attended to before reporting to him.

Truly, he admired her the same way other guys would. She was respectful and hard-

    Huh?Edward stared at Smith with a confused look on his face. He pondered on Smith's statement for a while but he couldn't come up with a better idea of what he meant. He walked closer to Smith till there was little to no distance between them and said coldly. "How dare you talk to me in that manner, huh!""Do you know who you're talking to, huh? I'm the manager of the Nexus company," he said proudly, and Smith chucked. For the second time, he stared at Smith confusedly wondering why he was laughing in such a situation. He wanted to lash out and punish Smith but he had to control himself because of his reputation which wasn't reputable. He had been sacked from his father's company or the Newcastle Corporation so he'd no right to claim that he was the manager of the company but the news hadn't been released that he'd been fired from the work. He decided to flaunt his authority and power to the poor man before him even if it was once. "Manager of the Nexus company? Do you mean the fo

    Edward was shocked by Smith's statement. He was livid and angry that Smith went back on his words. He promised to get him back his wealth and reputation but he changed his mind at the end.He wanted to scream, yell, and bite Smith to show his dissatisfaction but he knew he dared not try such a thing because it was suicidal so he had to keep whatever that was in his mind to himself. It was a surprise how the tides turned so quickly. Not only did Smith mysteriously become rich but he also made everything he'd worked relentlessly for going down the drain because of his mistake. He wished he could turn back the hand of time and change the situation but there was nothing of such so he was left to himself. He grabbed Smith's legs firmly before he could take another step to leave the restaurant. He persisted until Smith got frustrated. "I'm willing to help you but you're yet to give me a reason why you think I'm supposed to help you," Smith demanded in a cold tone, and he swallowed hard

    Rodriguez's greenhouse was heated with arguments. All the members of the family were angry and livid at mother and daughter, Olivia and Georgia for their reckless spending. "You're yet to give us a reason why you embezzled the family funds without my knowledge," Madam Kate asked coldly, with anger seething through her voice. Even though she appeared calm, she doesn't tolerate nonsense especially when it has to do with money. She believed money could do anything that she wanted so she wouldn't let anyone bring down the family because of their reckless spending. Olivia and her daughter shrunk in fear as they felt the cold and hateful gazes on the family fixed on the boring invisible holes in their body. Truly, if looks could kill, they'd have died by now. The daughter and mother were unaware of what to do, especially Olivia. She didn't know how to present the issue to him. She knew there was no way she could use Smith as an excuse because the whole family hated and loathed him. Th

    "Okay, I'll do that," Georgia said and quickly sent the account details to him. Edward hung up on the call and crossed his hand behind his back. He slumped hard on the couch behind him with a frustrated look on his face. It was such a pity that he'd to call his enemy, Smith, to help you before he could sort out the bill of his soon-to-be mother-in-law. He couldn't blame himself too much because his account had been deflected and the only way he could get it back was by staying loyal to Smith's side. And besides, if Smith didn't help me sort out the bill, who else will? He knew there was no way he could sort out the bill, especially in the condition he was in. He hoped Smith would have mercy on him and return his money as soon as possible. He felt useless and helpless without money. He didn't want to be an underdog of the Rodriguez family the same way Smith was because he wasn't rich. Somehow, he began to understand what Smith passed through being poor in the Rodriguez family.

    "Look at your fiance, Georgia. I can't believe he could stoop so low to kowtow to Smith.""This is a disgrace to the family considering the fact that the world had already known about your engagement with him.""When would you get a good husband for us? Why do they have to be useless?""It seems Edward is just another loser in rich man's clothing."Georgia let out an exasperated sigh and ruffled her hair with a frustrated look as different negative comments came flying around her from different corners of the room. "This is not my fiance. This is not Edward," she said coldly, shaking her head vehemently to show her disapproval of the video she watched. Even though the proof was clear, she believed there was a mix-up and Edward wouldn't kneel to Smith. Her ex-husband was supposed to be doing it because he was poor and not close to the class of her fiance.She didn't know that Smith wasn't the same messenger that she knew a few years ago.

    Georgia and her mother stared at Edward with a surprised look on their faces. They couldn't mask the shocked expression that mounted on their faces. They were shocked by Edward's statement. Not only did he stop them from calling the cops on him but he also defended Smith which was weird. Georgia stared at him carefully, trying to figure out what could be wrong with him or if he was really her supposed soon-to-be husband that she knew. She knew him very well. He was ready to go to extra lengths in any case that had to do with Smith but he was ready to let the matter die down like that which was unlike him. That was a chance for him to get back at Smith, right? She was concerned and worried that something might be wrong with him. "Huh?" She mumbled and turned to him. Edward gulped down into nothing and looked away stylishly as he felt mother and daughter gazes on his body. "That's not what I mean. I'm not supporting that bastard, why should I?""There's no need to call the cops on

    What!A soft gasp left Edward's lips before he could control himself. He arched his eyebrows as different thoughts began to cross his head upon hearing the report from the doctor. How was that possible? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. He didn't want to believe that the result was real. Georgia stared at him with a confused look on her, unable to tell the reason why he looked shocked and unhappy. He didn't hide his displeasure when he heard that news, and she thought he wasn't happy that she was pregnant for him. Edward, on the other side, couldn't stop thinking about the result he got. That was right, he was supposed to be happy that she was pregnant but he couldn't after finding out that she was eight weeks pregnant. He wanted to mask his feelings but he couldn't so he had to let them out. If she was truly eight weeks pregnant that meant that he wasn't the father of the child inside of her because it wasn't more than a month that he started having sex with

    Georgia smiled in satisfaction when she saw the look on Edward's face, the look that held anxiety and hesitation. She believed the doctor had spoken to him and made him believe that she was pregnant for him. Her heart skipped a million beats as different thoughts crossed her mind. She couldn't wait to be in his arms again. Although she was pained and heartbroken by his statement, she knew he was only overreacting and if she was in his shoes, she would do the same even worse. She hoped he didn't find out about her secret in the future. And if he does, she is going to find a way to change the situation the same way she did recently. She snapped out of her reverie and stared at him with a confused look as he stopped midway. He brought out his phone from his pocket and read something on his face. What! A soft gasp left his lips upon reading what was on his phone. She wondered what could make him react in such a way. She didn't care about it. She believed it was some random things th

    “Hello, dad,” he said with a cold look on his face as soon as his father picked the call. His father didn't waste a second in receiving the call. It seemed as though his father was expecting his call. “What's the problem, son?” His father asked in a calm voice probably smiling in the background. “What's the meaning of what I'm seeing on the internet? Even if I'm no longer working for your company, you shouldn't have gone close to those charity organizations I created and I have been funding,” Smith said with a cold look on his face. “Oh! I guess that's the reason you called. I thought you missed me and might have reconsidered my offer,” his father said and he chucked coldly. “Do you really think you can make me bend to your will just because of these little things?” He asked with a cold look on his face. “I know I won't but I wasn't expecting you to call me so early,” his father responded and he scoffed. “You've been expecting my call or message so quit the pretence.

    Getting to his newly purchased mansion that was well furnished and decorated, he walked into the house with a cold look on his face. “Welcome, sir. How are you doing?” Sandra, who was sitting on the couch in the sitting room, stood up from the chair and rushed toward him as soon as she noticed his presence. She leaned closer to him and he stood still. She loosened the tie around his neck and took him home with a sweet smile on her face. For the past two years, they have become closer and they could be considered as friends. They no longer had the master and servant relationship anymore. For those two years, she has been lecturing and training and he has grown stronger under her guidance. He has risen in ranks so fast that it felt unreal to Sandra herself. “You don't look so good. It seems it didn't go well with you and your father,” she said and he nodded his head. “Yes but who cares? I'm going to do whatever I want.

    Those five businessmen stared at each other, hesitating to speak up which made Georgia annoyed. “What? Why aren't you saying anything? I have no time to waste with you miscreants. If you have nothing to say, you'd better scram out of my house before I call the security on you guys,” she said annoyingly. She stared at them coldly, wondering how they managed to end up in such a state. They were doing better in the past two years and their companies had skyrocketed to a greater height. Why did they want to see her? It only meant one thing. They have encountered something bad in their business. So they need my help? She laughed inwardly as she thought to herself while she waited impatiently for one of them to talk. “The Golden Wall scammed us. Our investment with them had gone down drastically in value and we invested more than seventy percent of our companies in them,” one of them said and lowered his head in shame. She looked up with a confused and surprised look on her face. “They

After two years and a few months, Georgia Rodriguez had changed into a completely different person. After she was rejected by those big business men, she channeled the rejection as a motivation for her to strive harder and aim higher.

    “What are we going to do about him?” Jayden asked with a cold look on his face. He paced to and fro in the room with an annoyed expression on his face. He couldn't explain why his stepbrother kept ruining everything for him. Not only did he get into trouble because he had sex with his supposed fiancé but Smith had taken the items that he needed to become a cultivator. “I will kill you, Smith,” he said through gnashed teeth. “Give me some minutes. I will be back soon,” his father said and turned to leave the room. “Where are you going?” He asked with a confused look on his face and his father turned to him. “I'm going to have a word with your brother,” his father said and walked out of the room without turning back. He slammed the door with a loud bang and Jayden shook his head with a sigh. “What can I do about you? As for you Smith, you'll pay for going against us,” Jayden said with a cold look on his face.

    “That's bad,” Jayden muttered and rubbed his hand on his head with a frustrated look on his face. “Yes it is bad. And if nothing is done about it, we're all going down,” his father complained and they both paced to and fro in the room with a worried look on their faces. “What are we going to do, dad? If I had known, I would have listened to you,” Micheal muttered and shook his head with a sigh. “This is not the right time to complain about your wrong decision. There's no medicine for regret. Instead, we need to look for a way to resolve the issue,” his father said. “And how are we going to resolve these issues?” Jayden asked with a nervous look on his face. His hands trembled slightly as he remembered the few details of those people that his father gave to him. They were dangerous and ruthless. They would stop at nothing to get whatever they want. “What are you doing here?” He asked with a cold look on his face and he swallowed the lump in his throat. “The solution to this prob

    What's wrong, Dad?” He asked with a confused look on his face as he rushed toward his father with a worried look on his face. His father sent him away with a fierce slap which made him crash hard on a dusty table. The table broke into pieces. Jayden coughed out blood and wiped his lips with a white handkerchief. He glanced at his father with a confused and frightened look on his face. “Why are you doing this, Dad? Hasn't it been your wish for your son to get a lady from a noble family pregnant and give birth to your grandson and granddaughter?” Jayden asked with an annoyed look on his face and his father shrugged. “It has always been my wish but not for you. I never asked you to do that, did I?” His father asked with a cold look on his face. “No, you didn't because you never wanted good things for me. And that son of a bitch, Smith, wouldn't appreciate your efforts,” he said coldly and his father scoffed. “Will you keep quiet?” His father yelled and he kept shut immediately. “Do

    “What do you mean by that?” He asked with a cold look on his face and Smith chuckled coldly without responding. Smith stroked his chin gently as he stared at his father intensely. “Don't tell me it's what I'm thinking,” his father demanded and he scoffed. “What does your thinking have to do with me? You'd better go and ask your son what he'd done instead of questioning me,” he blunted and his father glared at him. “Why are you looking at me like that? Hasn't it always been your wish for you to have a grandson? Why does it seem you're not happy that the child isn't mine?” He asked and stared at his father intently. “Don't give me that look and stop playing dumb. Answer my question. What does my son have to do with that child, huh?” His father questioned him and he shrugged. “Aren't we saying the same things, huh? You should go and ask your so-called son, Jayden, instead of asking me,” he retorted and his father took a deep breath, trying to control the anger that seeped through h

    In a dimly lit room, three men in black suits and dark masks on their faces surrounded Mr. Anderson. “Where's the sacrifice that you promised us? We heard about the news, Anderson,” one of those said in a cold and hoarse tone that was capable of sending a cold chill down the spines of thousands of people. Mr. Anderson looked like a scared kid in the presence of those men in black suits. He didn't have the aura of the mighty emperor that he used to maintain in public. He stared at those people nervously. “I will bring the child to you as soon as he becomes one year old,” he said and they nodded their heads in unison. “We don't have a problem with that but hope you can't offer us that child that Bianca gave birth to,” one of them said and he frowned. “Why?” He asked with a confused look on his face. “That's because it wasn't Smith who impregnated her. And according to the instructions that was given to you, it has to be your first child who's Smith is supposed to birth your child
