“I'm sorry about the inconvenience caused sir. This is another receipt, sir,” the sales rep said respectfully and stretched out another receipt at him after seeing that Georgia had ruined the other one she gave to him. Smith collected it and shoved it into his pocket. He placed his hand under his chin and stroked his chin, watching her quietly. She lowered her head in shame, unable to withstand the hard gaze he was throwing at her. Although he didn't make a sound or say anything, she could tell what was coming into his mind. “Isn't it funny that you're respecting me again even after disrespected me a few minutes ago because of a minor issue I had with my bank?” He asked with sarcasm, dripping from his voice. He also sounded serious and stern. She bit on her lower lips and bent her head in shame. She didn't know what to do or how to respond to that question. It was her fault. She shouldn't have been too fast in judging her. “Well, I won't sack you because I believe you're naive,
“What!”“Georgia just bought a Veyron car! One of the most expensive sports cars.”“Congratulations on your new ride, Georgia.”“I'm so happy for you. See the smile on her face.”“Modeling really pays. I want to be like you, Georgia. I love you.”A prideful smile formed on Georgia's lips as she read through the comments under her latest post. It was the same post that she posed with a fancy post. Within a few minutes, the post had already gained a million views and hundreds of thousands of engagements. Congratulations were pouring from different corners. If only the car belonged to her. She didn't take the car seriously not knowing that the car would cause such a fuss on the internet. She didn't know the worth of the car until she did research on it and the price was revealed to her. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the least amount that a Veyron car could cost. A hundred million dollars! She could only wonder how much the car she posed with would cost. She wished she
Smith snapped out of his thoughts and looked up as his phone suddenly rang. He arched his eyebrows as his gaze landed on the caller ID. It was his ex-wife. What did she want? Just as he was wondering what she needed, he remembered that she still thought that Micheal was his boss. If only she knew the phone belonged to him and he was the boss. He smiled as reality hit him. It seemed she was beginning to face problems in her company so she decided to reach out to her so-called mysterious son so he could try to help her family out of the trouble they were facing. “I can't wait to know where this will end,” he said and threw the phone to the couch a few meters away from him. He crossed his legs as he sat down on a comfy bed with a soft smile beaming on his face. He reached out to his other phone and browsed through the internet so he could get information about Rodriquez's family but he couldn't find anything useful. It seemed they were good at hiding their problem. He logged out of
“Is that all, Young Master?” Micheal asked as Smith snatched his phone with a cold look on his face. “Of course, that's all. Or else can you help me?” Smith asked in a calm tone as he stroked his chin gently. His heart burned with rage as he remembered what Micheal had done. How he had sex with his ex-wife, claiming that he was trying to help him avenge. He didn't like that approach at all. Although he wanted to make her life miserable, he never intended to use such a despicable way to punish them. If he does that, what different would he be from them? “Please don't leave me here all along, Young Master. Please forgive me,” Micheal gripped his feet firmly, not giving him a chance to move his feet. “I will but not yet and you won't tell me when you release you or not,” he said and Micheal loosened his grip on his trousers. “Please don't forsake me here, Young Master. I have learned my lesson. I can't survive a day inside here,” Micheal wailed bitterly as he watched Smith walk aw
What!Georgia gasped out in shock after hearing Smith's statement. For the first time, she wasn't angry that he dared to scold her but she was confused and amused instead. How did he know that they were one step away from going bankrupt? Although it has been broadcasted that she posed with Edward's family member's car, the media didn't know a thing about their downfall. He could only get such information if he was from a powerful family or he got the information from a reliable and powerful source. She didn't see him deem fit in any of the categories she'd thought. She believed Smith was a homeless orphan before she took him in and changed him to be a better man before she divorced him. And there's no reliable source that would give him such vital information without collecting money from him. She knew there was no way he would be able to afford the money. He was still the same poor Smith, right?“Hey. Where do you find such information?” She asked in a cold tone after she rega
“Huh.”“What did you say?” Smith asked and pretended as though he didn't hear her. To be honest, he heard her loud and clear but he wanted to make fun of her. That was what she loved to do especially when it involved him. There's nothing wrong if she has a taste of her own medicine as well. “I said I'm sorry…” she muttered in a calm tone. She was annoyed but she dared not to show it especially when her family's fate depended on Smith's decision. She couldn't bear to act recklessly. “What happened to the Daddy part?” He asked and chuckled mockingly then stroked his chin. He had a sly smile on his delicate face. She bit on her lips and clenched her fist, trying to control the rage that was burning profusely inside of her. She knew he was paying her back for what she and her family did to her. She knew if she was the one, she would do worse so she couldn't blame him. It was indeed a slap to the face that she was kneeling before her ex-husband, who used to be her family's underdog
“What audacity!”“How dare him order you to visit!”“He should even be privileged to enter here after we'd chased him out.”“He's biting more than he can chew and it'll eventually choke him.”“That douchebag really needs to be dealt with.” Georgia, on the other hand, was only staring at them without saying anything. There was nothing she could say about it. At least, he'd saved her the stress of having to worry on how to save the family. It now depends on the capability of her grandmother. She could only worry less. “Why aren't you saying anything, Georgia?” She snapped out of her thoughts and looked up with a disgusted look on her face as she heard William's voice from behind. “What do you want?” She asked in an annoyed tone. “What do you mean by that, huh? You caused the problem and you think you're allowed to zone out on us the way you like, huh. Do you think we're joking?” He asked and she shook her head with a sigh. “At least, there is a solution,” she muttered and rolled
“So easy?” Smith muttered and chuckled mockingly as he stared at Madam Kate who slumped hard on the floor. She crawled backward in fear as he leaned closer to her. She whined in pain as her bone cracked. “How do you feel that you failed after sending those assassins at me?” He asked in a cold tone, caressing his chin calmly. She looked up at him with a surprised look on his face after hearing his question. She was surprised at how he managed to know about her plan. Although she never got any feedback from those assassins she sent, she believed they wouldn't leave a trail. How did he manage to know? It was a surprise how he managed to survive the assassination. “You must be surprised how I managed to surprise and know it's you, right?” He asked and she shook her head quickly. “How do you…” she stammered, unable to complete her statement as fear clouded my mind. She couldn't dare do anyhow knowing that someone was somewhere afar watching her with a sniper. She thought she
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
