Miles looked at the staff members with surprise and a bit of annoyance. “Why are my daughter and I being forced to return the dress when we clearly picked it up first?”The middle-aged woman glared hatefully at Miles. “How dare you? Are you accusing my daughter of stealing that dress from your daughter?! The audacity of your deceit!”“You!” The middle-aged man pointed a finger at Miles. “Do you even have any proof that your daughter picked up the dress first?”Everyone, including the staff members and some other customers who had noticed the commotion going on here, turned their gaze to Miles. They were waiting for his answer.Miles raised an eyebrow with a slight smirk. "Of course, I can prove it. Have you forgotten that this establishment has CCTV cameras? I'm sure one of them must have a video. Let's see who's lying between the two of us."The aloof expression on the middle-aged couple's faces crumbled slightly as fear gripped their hearts. In reality, they know very well that thei
“What the hell do you mean by that?”Lesley was shocked at Miles’s persistence in this matter. “If they call those security officers over, they will have your dumb ass arrested and locked away. Without a single penny to your name, how would you even afford a lawyer to defend yourself? Even if you have no care for your life, you should have pity on Kelsey who would have to grow up without a father, and my sister who would have to start working extra hours just so she could afford a competent lawyer to bail your sorry ass out of jail.”"Enough!" Miles stared coldly at Lesley, successfully shutting her up. "I've made up my mind to not have my daughter be bullied by such a horrible family." He easily moved Lesley aside before gently taking Kelsey by the hand and leading her back to their initial spot. "I'm not letting go of this dress today no matter what." He glared at the middle-aged couple, watching as they scooted away from him in fear. "As for you two useless excuses for parents, you
Everyone watched as every single piece of clothes on the aisle was packed up by the boutique’s staff members. Once everything was settled, all the pairs of eyes turned to Miles.“Well, the clothes have been packed for you.” The middle-aged man raised a skeptical eyebrow at Miles. “It’s time for you to pay.”Miles sneered before digging into his jacket pocket only for his hand to touch a space. His smile dropped in place of a confused expression as he turned to his jeans pocket only to find that his card was missing. That was when he recalled that he had left his premium black card at home. He had been so excited to spoil Kelsey for the day that he had actually forgotten to take the one thing he needed."What's the matter, you low-life scum?!" The middle-aged woman glared hatefully at Miles. "The staff is waiting for you to pay." There was a moment of silence as everyone waited for Miles to say something. On getting nothing but silence from him, the middle-aged woman burst out into lau
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words from the mall manager’s mouth. The unimportant audience quickly stopped their badmouthing as they wondered if they had heard the manager right. The middle-aged couple froze on the spot as their gaze slowly shifted onto Miles’s face. At this moment, they saw him in a totally different light now. Lesley was not spared in the least, her eyes became wide open and so was her mouth. She turned her gaze to find Miles standing straight as the mall manager remained bowing before him. She couldn’t understand a shred of what was going on. The staff members glanced at each other in confusion which then slowly turned to immense shock. One of them walked forward. “Manager, who is he?”"How dare you even ask that dumb question?" The mall manager, who had arrived with a very calm demeanor, suddenly became easily irritated while addressing his employees. "Are you all dumb or what?! Are you telling me you couldn't recognize a top superior?! I told you ab
Everyone watched in surprise as the pompous family dropped to their knees with pleading eyes."Sir, please forgive us. It is my fault." The middle-aged man now had an unbelievably miserable expression on his face. "On behalf of my family, I apologize for any trouble we might have caused you. We had no idea we were messing with such a big shot."Miles walked slowly before stopping right before the three kneeling people; the middle-aged woman had even forced her daughter to kneel beside her. She couldn’t even dare look up at Miles.Miles scoffed. “So let me get this straight. You’re telling me that you wouldn’t have felt any remorse for how you treated me and my daughter if my true status hadn’t been revealed.”The middle-aged man began shaking both his hands and head. "No! No! That's not what I meant…"“Then what did you mean exactly?” Miles cut off the middle-aged man with a stern gaze.The middle-aged couple shut their mouths as they couldn’t find anything reasonable to say.The crow
Miles could only look at his sister-in-law with incredulity. “Weren’t you the same person who had accused me of using her sister’s hard-earned money? You didn’t believe me when I told you that I had my own source of money. So why do you want me to spend a penny on you? Aren’t you scared that you’ll also be responsible for depleting your dear sister’s money?” That last sentence carried a heavy hint of sarcasm.Lesley rolled her eyes. “Can you stop that? I know you’re not really the so-called esteemed affiliate of the Creek business empire. I’m sure that the mall manager mistook you for whoever that real person is. Therefore, you are a fraud for going along with it.” She spoke with confidence.To Lesley, this was far more believable than accepting that Miles was truly a member of the Creek family.Little Kelsey glared up at her auntie after hearing her words. “Aunty Lesley, my dad is not a liar!”Miles looked down at his daughter with a warm smile. The little girl never ceases to amaze
Miles had been in a very joyous mood when he arrived home with his daughter. Kelsey had bought an ice cream and she was in a very happy mood. Unfortunately, the loving woman they met at home threatened to ruin the mood.“Hey, my love. How was work?” Miles got closer to Lola and he was about to place a kiss on his wife’s cheek only for her to push him away.Lola glared at Miles with anger. “Don’t you dare come near me.”Miles’s face slowly lost its radiance as he stood in confusion. “My love, what was that for?”Lola simply turned away from Miles and walked away from him. “It’s nothing.”Miles sighed. Only a fool would believe that the beautiful woman wasn’t in a terrible mood right now. Even a blind man could easily decipher the truth solely based on her tone.Miles wasted no time as he followed her to the living room. He sat across from her with a concerned gaze. “Are you hungry? I can order us some of your favorite seafood. You’re gonna…” He didn’t get to finish his words.“Shut the
Miles watched with an emotionless face as Lola mocked him. He felt a bit of grievance at the fact that he had become someone unreliable to his own wife. Lola couldn’t even trust that he had the power to properly protect her against external problems.When Miles thought about it, he realized that he couldn’t blame his wife for thinking this way about him. After all, his wife had only ever seen the most embarrassing side of him. He was beginning to regret that he didn’t tell Lola of his true identity from the beginning. His wife would have been living an amazing and worry-free life right now instead of dealing with so much nonsense.The Creek heir shook off the thought of regret. He knew better now; he was going to use his entitled power to trample on anyone who dared to mess with his family in any way from now on.With a cold heart, Miles left home without saying a word to his family. He grabbed a taxi and headed straight to Styleon Group Corporation.On getting to the company, the tre
