"Ma, are we still going to support Nathan now that the Vice President of the Cloud Corporation is here? We could get into trouble if he is caught impersonating him," Vanessa's personal assistant whispered into Vanessa's ear, fearing trouble with the Cloud Corporation.
But Vanessa stood her ground. "All that matters is we get him to join us." The Wilson family thought Bianca felt insulted when they sent the servant to welcome them. Immediately, they all rushed forward, bowing their heads apologetically with Grandfather Wilson taking the lead. "I'm very sorry, Miss Bianca. Welcome to the Wilson family. With you in our midst, our family will definitely succeed and prosper." "The Wilson family prosper?" Miss Bianca repeated. "Of course," Victoria answered. "It's all thanks to my daughter, Claire. She is a rising businesswoman in Prescott, and she will make the Wilson family good enough to partner with the Cloud Corporation." "Claire?" Miss Bianca asked. "Everything your family has achieved is because of someone else," Miss Bianca declared. "Yes, Liam," Ivan said, gesturing to Liam. "He is one of the top officials in the Cloud Corporation, personally appointed by Lord Nathan himself. This is the new contract of two billion dollars he helped us secure from Lord Cloud." Ivan picked up the contract documents and handed them over to Bianca, who observed them with a frown. Liam was visibly shaking as he was about to be exposed. "These contract documents are fake!!! And are not from the Cloud Corporation!" Bianca declared as she tore the documents into pieces. The room fell into a stunned silence as the pieces descended to the floor. "You fools! Liam has nothing to do with the Cloud Corporation." Liam's smirk faltered, replaced by a look of panic as all eyes turned to him. "Get out of the way!" One of the bodyguards shouted at the family, dismissing them like they were insignificant obstacles. The Wilson family recoiled in shock. The people from the Cloud Corporation then walked over to Nathan, and they all bowed before him and chorused, "All hail the Almighty Lord Cloud!" Nathan's eyes scanned the room, taking in the mix of shock, fear, and confusion on the faces of the Wilson family. The hall was filled with gasps as they could not believe it. Who is Nathan that the Vice President of the Cloud Corporation bows to him? It could only mean one thing... Nathan is really Lord Cloud! Victoria was visibly shaking with fear as she managed to mutter, "He... He is Lord Cloud." The entire family, especially Claire, immediately began to regret their actions. Grandfather Wilson stepped forward, his voice shaking. "Miss Bianca... Are you sure you are not mistaken? This is the son-in-law that we have just driven out." "Robert Wilson," Miss Bianca called Grandpa by his first name, "Are you tired of living? How dare you question the identity of Lord Cloud?" Grandfather Wilson's face turned pale at Miss Bianca's stern rebuke. He swallowed hard, eyes wide with terror, and his knees buckled slightly as he tried to steady himself . The rest of the Wilson family, now huddled together, mirrored his fear. "Miss Bianca, please," Grandfather Wilson stammered, "we... we had no idea. If we had known, we would never have—" "Silence!" Miss Bianca's voice cut through the air like a blade. "You and your family are ignorant! Do you think it was because of Claire your family was able to rise to the top? How arrogant! Claire does not have the resources or means to get the Wilson family to the top. And since you are all so sure you can do without Lord Cloud, from now on the Cloud Corporation will terminate all its relationship with the Wilson family. We will also take back all the gifts presented and reclaim all the benefits the Wilson family has received from the Cloud Corporation in the last three years!" The Wilson family's collective gasps filled the room as the gravity of Miss Bianca's words sank in. Victoria clutched her chest, her face turning pale, while Claire's confidence crumbled into despair. Ivan immediately rushed forward and dropped to his knees in front of Miss Bianca. "Please, you can't do this," he pleaded, tears streaming down his face. "Our family will be ruined." Grandfather Wilson, his voice trembling with desperation, stepped forward. "Miss Bianca, I beg you to reconsider. I was joking when I said those things... it was just a misunderstanding," he pleaded, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Misunderstanding?" Nathan snapped. "Yes, please," Victoria begged, and she desperately turned to Claire whose eyes were brimming with tears. "Please beg him; we can't afford to lose everything." But Claire stood frozen, too stunned to find the words. Nathan's eyes held no mercy as he turned away from the pleading faces of the Wilson family. "Let's get out of here," he commanded, his voice resolute. Bianca nodded, her expression unwavering. "Yes, Lord Cloud." She gestured to her team, and they began to gather their things. The Cloud Corporation executives followed, and also the ladies took the gifts along, and they all followed Nathan's lead, heading towards the door. The Royal Corporation also took their leave, but they could not help laughing at the Wilson family first. All the invited guests also proceeded to take their leave, leaving behind disdainful remarks as they exited. "How could they be so blind?" "Incompetent and ungrateful!" "How could they cut ties with the world-renowned legend? Their family is definitely done for!" Soon, the hall emptied, leaving only the Wilson family and Liam. "This is all your fault," Grandfather Wilson seethed, turning to Liam, pointing his walking stick accusingly. But Liam didn't appear frightened. "Mr. Wilson, do you really think a worthless man like him could be Lord Cloud? I received a message just now that Lord Cloud and his vice president are on their way to the capital for a meeting, and the Global Triad are expecting him." The Global Triad was a group of the three most powerful presidents in the world. They have come all the way to Prescott to see Lord Cloud. "WHAT???" The Wilson family exchanged bewildered glances, their hopes flickering amidst the chaos of the revelation. "So you're saying Nathan was just putting on a show to scare us?" Grandfather asked incredulously."Yes! Miss Bianca he called over was a fake! There's no way he could be Lord Cloud! I have met Lord Nathan and his Vice president personally and they look nothing like him" Liam continued to lie and the Wilson family fell fir this lies once again. "That rascal, how dare him!" Victoria said through gritted teeth. "So it was really all a scheme?" Ivan said. "I've always suspected him since the day he started to act like a child, he must have been preparing for this day and conspired with some paid actors" "Those gifts are worth millions of dollars, Nathan knew that we would kick him out so he wanted the gifts for himself, and now he has taken away those gifts worth millions of dollars" Claire added bitterly. "We cannot let it slide we must deal with Nathan at all cost!" Claire said she couldn't believe that she was almost fooled by Nathan's display. Nathan's convoy of black SUVs came to a stop at Nathan's command. "Lord Nathan, any problem?" Bianca, seated beside the dri
The manager furrowed his brow, eyeing Nathan with a mix of skepticism and curiosity. "It seems your card isn't working, sir. If you truly are Lord Cloud, you should be able to access this area without any issue." Nathan frowned, his mind racing. Something must have changed in the hotel’s security system without his knowledge. He decided to remain composed, knowing that losing his temper would only escalate the situation. "There must be a mistake. This card has always granted me access." Nathan said wearing a confused look. The bodyguard crossed his arms, a smug look on his face. "Sure, sure. Everyone's got an excuse. Why don't you just admit you're trying to scam your way in here and save us all some time?" Nathan took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. "There must be an issue with the security system," Nathan said calmly. "This card has never failed to grant me access before. Perhaps there have been some changes in the security system" "Yes, the systems were upgraded and
Nathan turned his attention to the manager, who stood trembling before him. The manager quickly bowed his head, his voice quivering as he spoke. "L-Lord Cloud, I humbly apologize for the misunderstanding. I had no idea it was truly you. Please, accept my deepest apologies for the way you were treated," Nathan regarded the manager with a measured gaze, his expression inscrutable. After a moment of tension-filled silence, he spoke. "Apologies are only as good as the actions that follow them. Ensure this never happens again. I expect the highest level of professionalism from my staff, especially in places that hold significant value to me and my family." The manager nodded vigorously, relief evident on his face. "Of course, Lord Cloud. I will make sure that this does not repeat itself." Nathan nodded slightly, accepting the manager's promise. "Here is your new VIP card, sir," Bianca said, handing over the gold-embellished card. Nathan took it, swiping the card, and the door swung
Nathan scoffed and said, "What do you mean? This is the Celestial Resort and not the Wilson's mansion, or is the Celestial Resort not somewhere I can visit?"Nathan placed his two hands in his pockets as he wore a confident look which seemed to enrage the Wilson family even more.Nathan should even be asking the Wilson family what they were doing here.The entire hotel was shut down because of the meeting he had with the Global Triad.As the country's largest and most exclusive hotel, the Celestial Resort was a favored gathering place for politicians and influential figures from around the world."Don't play dumb with me, you fool!" Ivan cursed, infuriated by Nathan's confidence.How could someone be so confident after stealing gifts worth millions of dollars?Nathan should be somewhere hiding off as the thief and liar he is."You think we don't know what you did last night?" Grandfather Wilson said, pointing his stick furiously at Nathan."What I did last night?" Nathan asked with a
"You never cease to stop spilling nonsense, Nathan," Grandfather Wilson said."Tonight the Global Triad, which consists of the three most powerful presidents in the world, will be meeting with Lord Cloud in this very same hotel. They are going to deliberate and announce their first key partner in Prescott, and that is going to be us," Ivan said, gesturing to the Wilson family."Oh, the Global Triad is here?" Nathan decided to play along with them like he did not know, meanwhile, the entire hotel was shut down because of him."Yes, the entire Celestial Resort was put on lockdown because of this meeting, and it was due to Liam's influence that we were granted access as important guests to meet with Lord Cloud firsthand. With this opportunity, we will be able to gain the favor of Lord Cloud and reach the top faster than anyone has ever done."Nathan looked frustrated at the family's ignorance. "There's no need to keep telling me about the Global Triad. Of course, I know that they are he
"I've told you times without numer that the gifts were from me but you did not believe me, but Liam never said a word and you believed it was from him" Nathan paused for a moment ad diverted his attention to Claire"I'm so disappointed in all of you especially Claire, you can't even distinguish between right and wrong"Ivan immediately interjected "Talking this lunatic is pointless, he must have been pretending to be unwell for the past year I order to gain our pity amd attention, and now he has stolen gifts worth million of naira from us, a pauper like him would never return the gifts, because he knows he would never see such money in his life, why then would he return it?"The family nodded in agreement to Ivan's words Claire couldn't believe that she had taken care of him for the past year not knowing he was just pretending, Victoria only wished she had gotten rid of him sooner. "How dare you think of keeping such viffts, do you know the consequences of doing so?" Victoria said a
Ivan scoffed and said, "Nathan, I was quite certain you were merely bluffing when you claimed the Global Triad had invited you here. I had no idea you had made such elaborate preparations. I must admit, I'm not entirely surprised - your forged invitation does appear quite authentic. You've clearly put in a great deal of effort."Ivan paused, a confident smile spreading across his face. "However, as I'm sure you're aware, the Celestial Resort always provides security details to escort any special guests, and they are the ones tasked with verifying invitations. If your invitation were genuine, they would have been the ones to present it to you."Nathan remained silent, recognizing the validity of Ivan's statement.In truth, the Celestial Resort had indeed dispatched a team of highly trained security personnel to escort Nathan, but he had sent them away, believing they were unnecessary as his own security contingent would suffice.At that moment, the Chief of Security nodded in agreement
"I have arrived at the hotel," Nathan stated."but I think there is a mix-up. The security chief seems to be harboring a certain prejudice against me." The security chief and the Wilson family looked at Nathan, laughing. This was obviously another one of Nathan's displays. He was pretending like he was talking to someone important. They were certainly not impressed. First, he produced a fake invitation claiming he was invited here by the Global Triad, who were extraordinarily powerful people, and now he was claiming to speak to someone of high importance. Nathan's stunts kept getting better and better.President Alexander's voice boomed with fury as he practically spat the words through the phone. "What?! How dare he have the audacity to do that?" The usually composed leader's demeanor had been shattered by the news relayed by Nathan.Nathan could practically feel the waves of anger radiating from the other end of the line. "Please, Lord Nathan, I need you to wait in the lobby," A
