Good day, my loved ones
Huh?Edward gasped out in shock and swallowed it as his gaze landed on Smith's eye which was burning with anger. He knew Smith was pissed for what his fiance did to him. He bit on his lower lips and rubbed his palms nervously with a bead of sweat forming on his forehead. "What do you say? You aren't talking Mr. Edward," he said and smiled at him mocking. Edward turned back and stared at his fiance, Georgia, who was staring at them with a confused look on her face. Because she was a few meters away from them, she couldn't hear their conversation clearly so she could only see their lips moving and from what she was seeing, none of what she was expecting to happen was happening. She didn't hear him yell at Smith for mocking her. He didn't call the cops or security guards on him to throw him into jail and discipline him for mocking her. What was happening? That was the question that revolved around her mind when she noticed such a scenario. "What are you talking about with that dou
Huh? Smith asked and turned to her with a confused look on his face. He couldn't understand how she managed to know that there was someone who was helping them. He assumed she got the information from Edward but it seemed Edward didn't tell her that it was him so that was why she was asking. It was better than the way. He decided to play with her mind, a sweet mind game. He turned to Edward, who lowered his head in fear. He couldn't bear to maintain eye contact with him. He was aware of what he did. Just as he was about to talk, Georgia spoke up. “What's up with the silence? Are you the Smith he'd been talking about?” She asked in a cold tone and Smith smiled. “What if I'm the mysterious Smith? What would you do about it?” Smith asked in a calm tone and caressed his chin while Edward stared at him with a confused look. He couldn't understand why Smith was revealing himself. He didn't want that, right? He didn't want anyone to know about his mysterious turnover but here he was, g
“You see that, huh? He's far better than you. He's a billionaire,” she said and pointed at Micheal who was sitting at the edge without paying attention to them. It was part of the plan so she would lose her guard. “He's capable of being called a man but not some poor wimp like you,” she said and he took a deep breath. She was mocking him. And each word muttered, makes him angrier than before. He wouldn't hesitate to make her regret it if she persisted. “Does that mean a poor man isn't capable of being called a man?” He asked and she nodded her head. “Yes, it is. You aren't a man. You need to work better. “As for the cleaner job, I would talk to Edward tonight to employ you. I think I still have your number,” she said, rolled her eyes at him, and walked away with a cold look on her face. He glared at her departing figure until he couldn't see her anymore. He clenched his fist and bit on his lower lips. “I hope you see what your fiance did,” Smith asked and Edward swallowed the
Their lips crashed against the other and they kissed, licking each other's lips until they couldn't breathe properly. She pulled away from the kiss and pushed his chest lightly with her middle finger. “That was a nice one,” he commented and she smiled. “That's a good thing to hear,” she replied. “But that doesn't mean that I'm not angry at you,” she added and he looked up with a confused look on his face. He sighed deeply and reached out to her hands then stroked them gently. “I'm sorry about everything,” he muttered and she nodded her head. “I know I shouldn't be scolding because of him but come to think of it, I'm doing it for you,”“If the media finds out that you're harassing someone in my hotel, your reputation might be at risk which is what I'm trying to protect. So I hope you'll understand me,” he said in a calm tone, trying to sound sincere. However, she wasn't moved by any of his tricks. Somehow, she knew he was lying and he was trying to hide something. “The less you
“Come to my side. You should know when I am, right?” Smith asked as he placed the phone close to his left ear. “Yes, sir. I'll be there in a jiffy, young master,” Micheal responded in a respective tone and Smith hung up on the call without hesitation. Smith shook his head and dropped the phone on the table then reached out to the velvet wine that was worth a million bucks on the table. He poured the content into a glass cup and gulped it down without blinking. And it tasted sweet. He never knew what the rich were enjoying until his father found him and introduced him to wealth. Now, he has gotten caught up in it. He won't stop having fun. A few minutes later, a knock landed on the door, snapping him out of his reverie. It was enough to make him stop reminiscing about the past. “Come in,” he ordered and the door creaked open, revealing Micheal, who walked in, dressed in a well-tailored Italian suit. “You called for me. How may I help you, young master?” He asked and bowed his he
“What!” She gasped out in shock and swallowed hard after he completed the statement. She thought her ear was failing her until she heard it again. She couldn't believe it. How could he possibly be the mysterious Mr. Smith? Is he no longer the poor man he used to know? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. Although he seemed to have changed in every way, she found it hard to believe that he could become rich overnight. “That's not possible,” she mumbled and ruffled his hair with a frustrated look on his face. She knew the trouble she was going to be in if he was the mysterious Mr. Smith. Not only would he bring up the scandal about her for revenge but he would make her family suffer to pay for what they did to him. “He's poor and he'll continue to be. I'm better off without him,” she reminded her even though her heart was racing rapidly. “Why aren't you saying anything, Ms Rodriquez?” He asked and she bit on her lower lips. Somehow, she hates him addressing her
“Where are you going, Georgia? You haven't answered my question,” he asked, breaking the silence that overwhelmed the room. After his question, she remained silent without saying anything no matter what he said. He couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with him. Georgia, on the other hand, didn't know what to say. She knew there was no way she could tell him that she wanted to have a dinner date with another man while she was dating him. “I'm sorry that I wanted to leave. I received a call and it's important I attend the meeting,” she said and he arched his eyebrows. “And does the meeting have any chance to do with Smith?” He asked and she swallowed the lump that formed in her throat. She couldn't find her voice. How did he manage to know? She asked herself but she couldn't get an answer to it. “Smith? Why should I go to him? It's not about him, Edward. Please don't try to stop me,” she said and he nodded his head. “Of course, I won't stop you. But I want you to be care
The next day, Georgia woke up feeling weak and numb. She opened her eyes weakly, unaware of what had happened. A soft gasp left her lips and her eyes widened in shock as my gaze landed on her naked body under a duvet with Smith beside her. He looked handsome while sleeping. Her body shook slightly as she realized what had happened. Somehow, she felt bad and regretted her actions. She wished she could turn the hand of time but it was too late to cry over spilled milk. Although she enjoyed the sex she had with him, her conscience couldn't stop disturbing her. She pulled the duvet from her body gently, not wanting to wake Micheal from his sleep. She walked quietly toward her clothes that were lying on the floor. She shook her head with a sigh and wore the clothes then arranged her hair quickly. Just as she was about to leave, she heard his calm yet dangerous voice from behind. “Why are you leaving so soon, Miss Georgia?” He asked. Michael woke up and a smile formed on his face as
The old ancestor stopped attending to his wound and turned to Micheal with a shocked expression on his face. “Huh?” He muttered with a confused look on his face and Micheal nodded his head in response. “Are you sure about what you're talking about? You want to follow the cultivation path?” The old ancestor asked. “Yes, old ancestor. I have made up my mind. I want to follow the path you followed to become strong and powerful,” Micheal said affirmatively with his eyes burning with coldness and fury. The old ancestor smiled and nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw how determined Micheal was. Micheal had to made up his mind because of everything that happened. Not only was he hated by the members of the Rodriguez family because of Smith but he was also bullied. None of them wanted to be a friend with a betrayer. He made such decisions because he also wanted to make Smith suffer for what he had done to his family in such a way that he wouldn't be able to recover from it. “But
“Who are you, Micheal?” Micheal asked in a cold tone while his body trembled slightly in fear as he glanced at the man who was staring at him with a cold and piercing gaze. It seemed as though the man was prying inside his son and he couldn't do anything about it. Something about that man was strange and mysterious. Not only did his voice travel across every corner of the building without any modern equipment but it also made them tremble in fear. How could a member of the Rodriguez family be so strong and mysterious? This was the question that was on the mind of the members of the Rodriguez family who were present in the estate. They stared at the man in fear. “You don't have to be scared of me. I'm one of you.”“Your family is only a branch of the Rodriguez family and I can be considered as one of your ancestors. I'm called Elder Lin.” The man said in a calm tone as he walked toward them. Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!Everyone gasped out in shock when they heard his statement. Who didn't
Georgia was rushed to the hospital by her family members. Although they were facing different challenges because of her, they were there to support her because her unborn child was the only person that could change their fate. They didn't take Smith's words seriously. Even if he doesn't believe that he was the father of the child, they could convince him to do a DNA test to prove who the father of the child was. “We have to make sure she doesn't die.”“Yes. We can't allow anything to happen to the child inside of her.”“We have to protect her. That's the only way we can reclaim our position in Phoenix City again.”The members of the Rodriguez family were desperate and willing to make sure that the unborn child inside of Georgia survive. If only they knew that fate had something else in store for them. “Where's the doctor?” Micheal asked angrily with a cold look on his face when he realized that his family members weren't willing to listen to him like they do in the past. At that m
As soon as Smith returned home, he met someone he wasn't expecting to see. At least so soon. He saw his father, Mr. Anderson, smiling at him warmly as he stared at him. “Welcome back, son,” his dad said and hugged him warmly.He hugged his father back without any sign of hesitation even though he wondered what was wrong. “You did a great job sir. I wouldn't have believed that you're so decisive if I didn't see it myself,” his father said and he arched his eyebrows. He looked up with a surprised look on his face when he realized what his father was trying to talk about. He shook his head with a sigh. He couldn't help but wonder how his father managed to find out about what happened in the Rodriguez's estate so soon. He was unaware that his father had sent someone there secretly to broadcast everything that happened there to him privately. He was amazed and satisfied with his son's judgment. He didn't expect Smith to be so decisive and ruthless to those who dare to go against him.
Georgia sighed and shuddered inexplicably when she heard his statement. She felt warmth in her heart when she saw how considerate he was about her. A thought crossed her mind as she stared at the young man she used to look down upon until he revealed his identity as the Young Master of the Edward family.“Did he let her go because he knows the identity of the unborn child inside of me? Does he know that he's the father of my unborn child?” She shook her head as the thought crossed her mind. She felt it was almost impossible for him to find out that he was the father of the unborn child inside of her. She didn't bother to tell him now because she felt it was absurd and shameful. Apart from that, there's a chance that he wouldn't believe her. How could he believe her when he couldn't remember having sex with her? That was right. The only thing he had sex with her was when he was drunk so it was normal that he couldn't remember it because she was discreet about everything that happene
Smith smiled coldly as he watched the family members of the Rodriguez family cry sorrowfully after the demise of Madam Kate, who was a mother and grandmother to all of them. He felt half of the burden he had been crying in his heart and mind decreased the moment she fell on the floor lifeless. He has been carrying the hatred and pain for more than five years. His life felt like hell during the five years that he spent in the Rodriguez family. They treated him as trash and relegated him to a post even insignificant before the house maids in the Rodriguez family. No one regarded him despite being the husband of Georgia, who was a good member of the Rodriguez family. He had always hated himself for being weak and helpless before them. He had promised to make them regret their actions in the past even though he didn't believe himself. Who could have believed that after five years his father would find him and bring him back home to enjoy unlimited wealth? Despite the atmosphere that w
Madam Kate gasped out in shock as soon as Smith finished his statement. His statement caused the expression of the members of the Rodriquez family to go grim. They were extremely shocked and shaken by Smith's statement. None of them expected him to be so ruthless and cold-hearted. Although it was within their speculation and expectation, they couldn't help but feel shocked and helpless. Madam Kate, on the other hand, looked at him with a hint of unwillingness and despair. She knew there was nothing she could do. Resisting or fighting back was futile because Smith was determined to make sure that she kills herself. At that moment, she regretted going against him. It was too late to repair the damage that she had done to him in the past. She made him feel less of a human because he was not worthy or up to their standard. Smith remained cold and expressionless faced with the pleas of the members of the Rodriguez family. It was natural for him to be ruthless to the family that dared
Micheal looked up at him hesitantly for a while, unable to find an answer to Smith's question. He was also not expecting Smith's question. He knew it was not necessary for Smith to ask him such a question because he was among those who went against him and looked down upon the Rodriguez family the most in the past. Could Smith not know that he was trying to save himself from the crisis?Madam Kate felt slightly embarrassed that her supposed favorite son-in-law didn't hesitate to leave when the family was faced with such a threat. She didn't blame him either because she knew that their chance of survival was low considering what they've done against him in the past and even recently before his identity as the Young Master of the Edward family was revealed. “Why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me that you are shocked by my question,” Smith demanded in a cold tone as he stared at him with a piercing gaze. Micheal swallowed the lump in his throat when he saw the menacing look th
Huh? Smith was quite taken aback by her question. He arched his eyebrows and stared at her with a confused look on his face. He couldn't help but chuckled inwardly when he heard her question. Instead of asking her questions, he redirected the question to her. “Don’t you think that's a ridiculous question, Kate? If you were in my shoes and you were trampled upon in the past, what are you going to do to such people?” He asked in a calm tone. He had a cold smile on his face that made him look sinister and unapproachable. Madam Kate shuddered in fear and swallowed the lump of saliva in her throat when she heard his question. She couldn't dare to refute him. She knew he was saying the truth anyways. If someone has offended her the same way she has offended him, she would make sure that person doesn't go scot-free. But how could she tell him such a thing? It would make no difference than shooting herself in the legs. She kept quiet while trembling in fear as she stared at Smith, who l
