AT THE EXCLUSIVE VIP WARD 5;
A young handsome man who was luxuriously dressed was seated beside Diana, Gina was seated close to them as well and the expression on her face was an excited one.
She was happy because the young man, the young master and heir of the Titus family, Solomon Titus wanted to marry her daughter.
The Titus family was richer and more powerful than the Gardner family so Diana marrying Solomon would surely improve her status in the Gardner family.
Gina wanted everybody that looked down on her to look up to her with respect and admiration.
In a hushed tone filled with disdain towards Victor, she quietly murmured, "This is the kind of son in law I want, not that useless imbecile. I wish they could get married soon, then i will be the mother in law of the future head of the Titus family." She giggled.
Nonetheless, her words went unheard by those around her. In-fact they did not pay her any attention.
"Diana, just say yes to me and I'll treat you and your daughter as the most precious thing in the world." Solomon said as he tried to hold Diana's hands.
However, Diana avoided his hands, "Mr. Solomon, please be mindful of how you touch me, I'm a married woman. I appreciate your help for moving my daughter here and knowing that the payment for the hospital bill is in process, I'll make sure to pay you back."
"You bitch! I'll have to chance to tear of this your mask, then fuck you and fuck that little daughter of yours" Solomon said viciously in his mind.
Solomon was quite good at pretending, so he simply answered with a smile, "I'm sorry Diana, u didn't mean to do that."
He had not yet paid for the hospital bill, he was already thinking of backing out and probably tell the hospital to throw out Amanda since they were not able to pay the bill.
Besides, he wouldn't feel guilty doing that. She was the child of that useless man.
Gina herself was anxious seeing the exchange between Diana and Solomon Titus. She did not want to miss out on such a good and rich son in law.
So she immediately scolded, "Diana, what are you doing? How can you treat Mr. Solomon like this. Don't forget without him, Amanda would have been kicked out of the hospital."
"You should be happy to see such a good man who is willing to take care of your daughter and not mind the fact that you have been married to another man before."
A voice sounded immediately after her words, "I can take care of my own daughter."
Diana, Gina and Solomon turned to look at the door. Victor who looked rough and tattered walked in vip ward 5.
Solomon seeing him gritted his teeth with hatred. Gina also had disdain in her eyes, while Diana had a cold expression.
Victor did not care about Gina or Solomon. Of course he was angry about Solomon's presence but right now, he needed to placate his wife.
"Honey, I have it. I've got the money." Victor mustered his strength and said. He was anxious seeing that Diana's expression didn't change despite his words. Clearly she didn't believe him.
Not waiting for him to speak again, Solomon spoke towards him in disdain, "Hundred thousand dollars. Can you afford it right now? Just look at you. You look like someone who just had his bath in a gutter."
Victor was angry, "I'm talking to my wife. How dare you interfere?"
Finally Diana answered, "He paid the money and also paid to move Amanda here. If not for him, we would have been kicked out by the hospital management."
Victor was gloomy. Solomon dared claim to be his daughter's father and was trying to destroy Victor's marriage with Diana.
"You paid for my daughter's bill. I don't appreciate it. I can pay for my daughter's expenses myself." Victor said angrily.
Diana replied angrily, "Enough, you're unable to afford it and yet you're still here bragging and not even appreciative of our helper. You disappoint me. Once Amanda is well, let's get divorced immediately."
Victor who was about to retort ate back his words the moment he heard divorce.
Meanwhile Solomon was enjoying the show. He couldn't help but be excited. What he wanted would be his soon.
Solomon wanted to take the opportunity to sow more discord between them. "Since you are so manly, I will withdraw my money and leave you to pay for everything after all you are so capable."
Diana panicked but it was too late. Solomon had already called the person in charge. Since the Titus family was wealthy, people would definitely want to curry favour with them.
Diana looked at Victor coldly but Victor remained calm. He would prove to her that he wasn't lying.
While waiting for the person in charge to arrive, he was still a bit nervous. This could be seen from how hard he clenched his fist.
A young doctor walked in with a lady who held a pos machine.
"Sorry to disturb you, Doctor Malik." Solomon said.
The young doctor who was known as Malik smiled, "No problem. Anything for you, young master Solomon."
Solomon then turned to Victor with a wicked smile, "The pos is here now, I paid 110,000 dollars. I'm sure you can afford it. Come on."
Victor walked forward and took out his card, then gave it to the hospital's pos attendant.
The pos attendant slotted it in and asked him to enter his pin. As Victor entered his pin, he was so nervous that his heart was beating wildly.
His hand even slipped and he put an incorrect number before deleting and correcting it.
As they waited for the pos machine to process. Victor prayed about ten times in his heart in just that short time.
Finally, a ping sound was heard from the pos machine. As Victor looked at it. He saw the word, "DECLINED, ...."
Victor's heart shook. "Diana would definitely divorce me," As he was in his thoughts, the pos attendant's voice broke his train of thoughts, "Sir, invalid pin. Please try again." "Ah!" Victor recovered. Clearly he must have been overly anxious which was why he put an incorrect pin. Taking a deep breath, he typed his pin again and the pos machine began to process. Solomon urged the pos attendant, "Is it not done? Doctor Malik, you can call someone to kick this man out for wasting your time." "Ping! SUCCESSFUL" "It's successful sir," The pos attendant looked up and said. "Failed, I was right, this man can't. Wait what?" Solomon shook. This time Victor repeated the attendant's words with a smug smile, "It's successful. Don't you have ears to hear?" Solomon hurried to look at the pos machine and he could see the successful written big on the screen. He immediately shouted, "Which person's money did you steal? No wonder you looked so tattered when you came in. You must have stolen
Victor glanced around, not spotting anyone of particular note. However, he felt confident that Butler Kain knew everything that was going on right now. This was evident from the timely message he had sent.The guards nudged him aside, and the taller of the two, with a more authoritative air, remarked."Consider yourself lucky this time, since you haven't stolen anything. And you should be happy we are in a good and pleasant mood today, so we'll allow you to leave. Get out from here,"They carelessly tossed the paper bag with his purchased clothes onto him. The clothes fell off the bag on the ground. Victor said nothing but quickly picked the clothes and put them back in the bag.Just before he could think of what to do next, he received another message. It contained the hotel manager's complete details: phone number, full name, and other particulars. Surely he knew what he ought to do now.Observing the guards, Victor didn't heed their instruction to leave. Instead, he dialed the ma
Victor just sneered and walked into the hotel amidst their begging. As he passed by, he could seeing the arrogant receptionist who framed him being dragged out. Manager Zain looked at the two guards and receptionists on the ground begging outside, "You all are lucky my young master doesn't want to punish you more. If it were left to me, you would all be dead. Now get out of our premises."She signalled the new guards that had replaced the old ones to drag them away from the vicinity. Then she quickly walked into the hotel to meet Victor.A new receptionist had already replaced the old one. Manager Zain's secretary was capable so the secretary knew to replace those people immediately and luckily, WESTRIDGE HOTEL as the hotel was known as under Manager Zain's leadership always had backup workers incase one was sick or fired or any other reasons.Manager Zain was nervous at that moment. This was the first time she was meeting her young master and the owner of the hotel and yet her subor
"So are my parents alive?" Victor asked.Butler Kain replied sadly, "Your mother is gone but your father is still alive."Victor felt pained, "When did she pass away?""A few years ago. Your mother was a good woman. She was talented in several aspects, from business to games and even martial arts. Your father is talented but not as good as she was. "In fact in the history of the Parker family, your mother was the first female to go through the poverty and suffering training and she did so in this city as well which was the exact reason this city was chosen for you."Before she passed away, she had been visiting constantly, although you never knew." Butler Kain answered.Victor was surprised and he was surprised for two reasons. First, he thought his father was the one born in the Parker family not the other way round and secondly, he was surprised because Butler Kain said his mother had been visiting him constantly before she died.Although he really wanted to know more about her, h
While she was thinking, a young man walked arrogantly towards them, he kept playing with his car keys as if he wanted everybody to know he was rich.The young man was Silas, he was Gina's friend's son-in-law.Gina's friend seeing him immediately ran to hold and drag him over. "Gina, this is my son-in-law, Silas. Can you see him, he's so handsome and rich. He's here to help me get back my money."Gina, Victor's mother-in-law was a little jealous but she hid it very well and spoke, "Ah, Silas, such a charming young man. Splash, don't forget to tell your son-in-law to help me get my money too.""Of course, my son-in-law is capable, so he will definitely help you unlike some people's son-in-law." Mrs. Splash, Gina's friend answered.Gina was embarrassed. She knew Mrs. Splash was referring to her. This made her hate Victor more.Victor didn't seem to care and chose to let Silas act. If he can get it, then no trouble.Silas spoke to Mrs. Splash, "I've found out the person that is in charge
Boss Kent and his men froze hearing Victor's words. As for Victor, his mind kept getting flooded with information regarding Boss Kent's case. At first, the purpose was to buy time and settle his mother-in-law's issue but the prospect was starting to excite him as he knew more. He wondered, "Am i getting better at this abandoned skill?"Though he didn't know why he was able to detect Boss Kent's sickness and know how to cure it perfectly since he only had beginners knowledge in acupuncture but it didn't matter as long as he could do it."Are you joking," Boss Kent asked angrily.Victor said with a frown, "No, I'm not joking. You have to get naked. By the way, are you ashamed, I'm a man, you don't need to be ashamed."Boss Kent was pissed but he needed to follow Victor's words since Victor promised he could cure him."Before that, please tell one of your men to get me a pack of acupuncture needles." Victor said.Boss Kent replied, "Acupuncture needles!! I think there's one in my car.
"Of course," Victor replied with a nod as he extended his hand to accept the card from Boss Kent. After the exchange was complete, Victor began his journey back home. While it had been a relatively uneventful day, using his acupuncture skills to aid Boss Kent had sapped a considerable amount of his energy. All he craved at this moment was some well deserved rest. However, he was well aware of the pressing need to relieve his wife, who was currently at the hospital caring for their daughter, Amanda. Yet, as he approached the hospital, an entirely unexpected drama awaited him. As he entered, Gina, his mother in law, bombarded him with a barrage of questions. "What is your relationship with Boss Kent? Why are you associating with those shady individuals and bad people? Do you want to put our family in danger?" Gina continued her interrogation, and even Diana, his wife, turned her gaze toward him, silently demanding answers. Victor, exhausted and impatient, offered a terse response
The Titus group, a business entity owned and operated by the Titus family, held significant sway within its industry. As the designated heir of the Titus family, Solomon wielded considerable influence within the organization. This influence extended to other businesses, such as the small electronics company where Diana was employed. Due to the potential repercussions of offending the Titus family, the company was extremely cautious not to cross them. If Solomon issued any directives to them, they would unquestionably comply and also use such opportunity to curry favour.At Victor's current stage, the Titus family did not pose an immediate threat to him. However, if he considered engaging with them in any way, he had to prioritize the safety of his own family. It's a common strategy that when one's adversaries cannot directly challenge them, they might target the individual's vulnerabilities. In Victor's case, his family was his most significant vulnerability, and safeguarding the
