"What!!!"Victor, who was busy washing plates at the restaurant, exclaimed as he heard the startling words from the person on the other end of the line. In a swift move, he picked up the phone, turned off the loudspeaker, and pressed it to his ear.Just then, the restaurant manager walked in and, upon seeing Victor making a call during work hours, erupted with anger. "Victor Parker, what are you doing making a call during work hours? Don't you know there are many customers, and plates need to be cleaned fast? I will cut your salary for it."Although the manager tried to snatch the phone from Victor's hand, Victor seemed oblivious to the situation and accidentally knocked the manager to the ground while hastily leaving the restaurant."You bastard, you are fired from now on." The manager shouted at Victor as the other workers tried to help him from the ground.However,Victor did not even hear the manager's words. "Yes, I'm headed to the hospital now, I'll be right there," Victor s
Looking at Victor, the young man continued, "Wipe my shoes clean and I might pity you and give you the money you need."Victor clenched his fist, he was angry because he felt humiliated but his daughter was sick and he couldn't let her die.Going on his knees, he was about to clean the young man's shoes with his clothes when the man suddenly stepped on Victor''s back to clean the shoes himself."I can't let you mess up my shoes. Your clothes are too old and worn out. It will make my shoes ugly. There is nothing wrong with stepping on you, after all, those who clean my shoes are my servant." The young man said with disgust. The young man was Diana's cousin, Tom Gardner and the favourite grandchild of the head of the Gardner family.Tom was trying to impress the two girls who were with him, and they were giggling at his attempts. Meanwhile, Tom was recording a video of Victor humiliating scene.Victor could hear their mocking laughter echoing in his ears. He felt utterly humiliated, bu
As Victor looked at the money in his account, a mix of excitement and fear washed over him, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "How!!! Is this even real?" The messages he received earlier flashed in his mind, making him feel like he had stumbled into a surreal dream.With a racing heart and shaky hands, he closed his eyes and pinched himself, hoping to wake up from what seemed too good to be true. He mumbled anxiously, "I must make sure I'm not dreaming." The sharp pain confirmed that he was indeed awake, but he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease."Could it be that someone had mistakenly sent that money to my account? I better report this to the police quickly," he said, trying to reason through his clouded thoughts.His mind reasoned that with such a significant amount in his account, he could save his daughter and lead a good life, so why give it back? Although he felt a strong temptation, he managed to control himself.However, as he hesitated about what to do next, his phone s
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
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
