2024-03-21 04:50:20The cab stopped in front of the Davidson residence. Damien came out, paid the cab driver and turned towards the mansion.
He then walked towards the front door. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard some boisterous laughter coming from the inside.
“Young master Seth, since you are so sincere about Amelia, we can be straightforward. Let us just settle on a date.”
Damien was stunned. He reckoned that the voice belonged to Joana; his mother inlaw and Amelia's mother.
Missus Joana, you're being too polite. Since we're going to be family in the future, don't be so formal. Just call me by my name.” a very familiar voice sounded in Damien's ear. This was a voice he could never forget in his lifetime; the voice of the man who sent thugs to kill him.
“Sure, sure, you're so young and eloquent. Amelia is so lucky to have met you! As her parents, we can rest assured now!” Joana's voice was heard.
“However, I heard her husband..” Seth's voice trailed off as he was inclining to the fact that Amelia was already married still.
“You mean that good for nothing? It's alright. The law states that a worthless man can be divorced at any moment. And if you're ready, let's go to court and get a divorce certificate.” Joana cut Seth off.
“In my opinion, Amelia is brilliant in all aspects, except that her husband, my brother-in-law, is good for nothing.” the voice of Charlotte; Amelia's younger sister sounded.
“That piece of trash is not your brother-in-law. From now on, your brother-in-law is Seth Roach.”
When Damien heard this, his face turned extremely gloomy, and he could tolerate it no longer.
He was almost killed by that Seth Roach today and yet he heard her family talking about her remarriage? While he was still alive? Was Amelia in on this? No matter what? He had to see her to clarify.
_Bang! Bang! Bang!_ he knocked on the door.
Who is it? Coming?” having settled her eldest daughter's marriage with a wealthy man, Joana was in a good mood, and she opened the door with a gleeful grin.
However, her expression changed dramatically when she saw the person at the door.
“You.. you're not dead!?” shock was written all over her face, which seemed to have paled all of a sudden. Her expression was now full of disgust and disdain.
'How did this good-for-nothing survive Young master Seth's goons attack' Joana thought in her mind.
'Dead!? So she knew! She planned the assassination with Seth. Did she believe that if she got rid of me, then Amelia would agree to their demands!? Tsk! We will see about that!' Damien could not help but be equally disgusted at Joana's behaviour.
“I'm back Joana” Damien did not bother to add any honorifics.
“How could you have the cheek to come back, you wastrel!? Don't act so close to me! It's Mrs Davidson. Did your dead mother not teach you any manners!” Joana hollered, her brows furrowed and her hands on her waist. Her saliva almost landed on Damien's face.
Damien's heart was suddenly full of fury. His mother's death would forever be a sore spot in his heart. He clenched his fist and repeatedly warned himself not to get physical because the woman in front of him was Amelia's biological mother.
“What? Do you want to hit me? You are such a jinx. Of all times, you had to come back now. I bet you're bent on making life hard for us!” Joana hollered more.
“Who's out there?” when Seth heard the shouts on the outside, he sent one of his men to check things out.. who knew it was the same gang boss that beat up Damien to death?
When he saw Damien's face, his eyes widened immediately, and he charged forward with a furious expression in a bid to punch Damien.
“Bastard! How dare you come back!? Why didn't you die outside!? Huh!?” just as his fist was about to land on Damien's face, Damien stretched forth his hand and held it in place. The thug felt like his hand had been held by an iron clamp.
“To be honest, I will be more than happy to return the favour.” with an icy cold gaze in his eyes, he emitted a murderous aura that frightened the thug to the point he turned as pale as a sheet.

“Jordan! Stand down!” Seth's voice came from the inner room. Even he had felt the massive killing intent Damien had released and he involuntarily shivered. He knew a confrontation would result in his loss, so the best thing was to let the Davidsons deal with this.“This is a family affair. Go out first.” Mister Davidson then came out to check out the cause of all the debacle taking place in his residence.Jordan reluctantly but obediently withdrew his hand. He knew his boss was trying to leave a good impression on the Davidsons, so he only glowered at Damien again and then left.Amelia's parents were full of resentment, but they did not dare get physical with Damien; the scene of Jordan being frightened by Damien was very fresh in their minds.

“You!” Seth immediately flew into a rage. No one had ever dared to be so arrogant toward him! And now a bug he could swat out is being so high and mighty in front of him? Even directly telling him to leave!? Is the world going crazy or did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!?The Davidsons were just as furious as him as they angrily charged forward to surround Damien, as though they were going to hit him. Just as the conflict was getting heated, someone pushed the door open and entered.“W.. what's going on?”Damien's heart palpitated and his body stiffened. He will always know the owner of this voice even in his dreams. He stood still in place without turning around. He had imagined and even rehearsed how he would break the news of his new life to Amelia countless times in his head during his walk back to the Davidson Mansion. But when he heard her gentle voice, Damien realized that he could not bring himself to explain the Fortune system to her, and now coupled wit

“Don't bother arguing!” Joana immediately screeched.“You were penniless and had nothing to even aid you in your travel. I can't imagine that after we were kind enough to let you marry into our family and provide you with food and a roof over your head, yet you stole our money when we let our guard down and absconded!”Damien frowned and could not be more astounded at the atrocities this woman had spewed against him.. no wonder Amelia was seething with hatred earlier. The only path here is to explain and clear his name, hopefully Amelia will believe him.“No such thing happened. I don't even know where your father keeps his money!” Damien tried to reason with Amelia.“Nonsense! You stole half a grand from us this morning before going off to meet Young Master Seth here!” Joana interjected harshly before turning to look at Amelia's father, Carter Davidson.“Tell us; did he steal our money, or am I making all these up!?”“Hmph! He married into our family, yet stole fifty thousand dollars

Joana's presumptuous behaviour made Amelia feel very uncomfortable.“Mother, I have already told you several times that I won't marry Mister Roach.” she then turned to look at Seth.“Mister Roach, you come from a privileged family, and there are many girls who like you. I'm already married, and I don't deserve it, so you should not waste any more time on me.”Joana was so infuriated that she pinched Amelia several times and barked.“Why are you so muddled!? Seth is such an eligible man. You're lucky he fancies you!” then she turned to apologize to Seth.“Young master Seth, we have spoiled Amelia rotten. Sometimes, she's thick in the head, so please don't mind her! Don't worry. I have the final say in this household.”Seth smiled faintly and pretended to be nonchalant.“It's alright, Joana. I believe Amelia will believe in my sincerity one day.” however, he was extremely displeased.'I, Seth Roach, have never been blatantly rejected by a woman before! She's just a married lady. Why is

Seth was so astonished by Damien's aura that he involuntarily took a step backwards. By the time reacted, he was vexed and infuriated. He was frightened by a good-for-nothing. Although it was only for a moment, it was still a huge insult!“Shut up! What do you know? Even if Young master Seth made a mistake and bought the wrong thing, it was not deliberate! What nonsense are you spouting about radioactivity? A loser like you knows nothing!” Joana yelled at Damien.One of the relatives with a beer belly stood up and chimed in“Exactly! I've never heard of heinrichite before. How can a good-for-nothing like you know what it is? Don't make up a name and try to fool us with it!”Damien's eyes were icy cold.

Damien approached Amelia, his eyes locked on hers, filled with a mix of determination and desperation. Ella, the little girl Amelia had adopted, gazed up at him with curious eyes."Amelia, please listen to me," Damien started, his voice low and urgent."I didn't abandon you. I swear on my life, I never left you willingly."Amelia's expression remained icy, her grip on Ella tightening. She was doing her best to hold back the pain and tears that threatened to burst forth."Don't lie to me, Damien. I saw the note you left. You made it clear you couldn't handle our life together. I know how unfavourable being with me has been, but couldn't you have said it to me face to face? Why dump me like one dumps a used tool?"Damien's face contorted in anguish. The Davidsons had upped the game by even forging a note and dropping it where Amelia would see it.

Damien sat in his small, cluttered apartment, staring at the blank walls as he thought about his next move. He had the Fortune System, an AI inside his brain that granted him cash and skills, but he still needed a plan."Fortune, I need your help," Damien said aloud, knowing the AI could hear him."Hello, Damien," the Fortune System replied, its voice echoing in his mind. "What do you need assistance with?""I want to start a company, but I have no idea where to begin," Damien admitted. "I need a building, a team, a business plan... everything.""Leave that to me," the Fortune System said. "I'll provide the funds and skills you need.

The agency is just a few more blocks from here, right?” Maximus asked while swerving from the disturbing topic.“Yes Sir,” she replied but she still wasn't at ease.
