ANDREW
Mrs. Hills could not believe her eyes. Her husband kneeling down before the man that she was supposed to take down by them? Was the world now playing a trick on her? "Honey. What are you doing? Why are you kneeling down before this lowly runt?" She glared, still confused at what was unfolding before her. "Don't you know that we are going to become a laughing stock before everyone if this goes out to the public?" She inquired. "Huh?" Dora is confused. She sniffed and her tears were already slowing down gradually. "Daddy. What's going on?" She inquired, confused. Austin looked at Dora angrily. Seeing that his father was kneeling down before her father, his ego was being destroyed. "Dad, what are you doing?" He was trying as hard as he could to suppress the anger that was gradually rising in the inside of him. "Do you really intend to make me a laughing stock before everyone?" "Fool, scumbag! how dare you?" His father, who had treated him like an angel that fell down directly from the sky, shouted at him for the first time and he was taken aback. "Have the both of you suddenly gone mad? You dare to talk to Mr.Andrew? Do you even realize that he is the reason that we are where we are at the moment?" He yelled back at them. Even though the companies were now in his position, he knew that he would be very stupid for him to fight back. When Patrick arrived, none of the companies he mentioned existed yet. They were all established within a year, with billions spent on their creation. Patrick didn't flinch, unaware of the person's or company's power. He didn't reveal much about himself or his background, only giving instructions. Going against an unknown enemy, despite his accumulated powers, would be suicidal. Mrs. Hills was stunned by her husband's suggestion: "We should both kneel and apologize to him. Maybe he'll spare our lives." She couldn't believe she was being asked to kneel before someone who looked like they just emerged from poverty. The idea was unimaginable, and she struggled to comprehend the sudden reversal of power dynamics. Mrs. Hills was appalled by her husband's suggestion and refused to kneel before Mr. Patrick, she would rather kiss a mad man. She was furious, her hands clenched in anger, as she turned to face him. She suspected that Mr. Patrick was the one who had manipulated her husband, causing this sudden change in his behavior. She was determined not to submit to him. Coming from a prominent family herself, one of the top ten families in the world, she saw her marriage to the Hills family as a strategic alliance. She had expected that if they had a male heir, it would further solidify their position. Now, she was not going to let Mr. Patrick undermine their status. If her husband refused to take action, Mrs. Hills was prepared to take matters into her own hands. Her son asked, "Mummy, do we have to do what dad says and do those things?" tears welling up in his eyes. Mrs. Hills reassured him, "Don't worry, we don't have to. If your father won't help us, we'll find another way." Mr. Hills was shocked and angry, his wife's defiance and growing ego catching him off guard. He had never seen her challenge him so openly before. "What are you doing, Sandra? Have you lost your mind?" he exclaimed, trying to assert his authority. "I'm still your husband, and you should listen to me!" But Mrs. Hills ignored him, leaving Mr. Hills feeling stunned and concerned that she was heading down a dangerous path. Mrs. Hills approached Patrick, her eyes blazing with anger, and demanded, "Who are you and what have you done to my husband?" Patrick replied, "I am a butler of the Genius family," his expression calm and collected. The crowd gasped in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief. How could a mere butler command such respect and fear from the powerful Mr. Hills? Whispers spread through the crowd, "There must be more to this story. Maybe Patrick saved Mr. Hills' life and he's showing gratitude?" But others doubted this, pointing out Mr. Hills' terrified state, "Look at him, he's shivering and drenched in cold sweat. He's clearly frightened, not showing gratitude." The crowd continued to murmur among themselves, speculating about the situation, but they kept their voices hushed, wary of being overheard by the powerful individuals present. They knew that crossing these men could mean ruin for their lives. "A butler?" Mrs. Hills repeated, her hands tapping impatiently. She was unfamiliar with the Genius family and suspected that Patrick was lying. "You're a nobody, a mere butler! I don't know your family and I'm sure you've fed my husband a bunch of lies. You'll pay for this!" She snarled, her anger escalating. Mr. Hills felt a chill run down his spine as he tried to intervene, "Sandra, please, let's just forget about this. It's not worth pursuing." But she wouldn't listen, her mind set on revenge. "Don't worry, I'll take care of this. I'll make sure he pays." She threatened, her eyes blazing with fury. "We'll start by taking down his family business." Mrs. Hills assumed that Patrick's family was among the top five hundred in the city, which is why she couldn't recall their name. "If that's the case, then it'll be even easier for me," Mrs. Hills said, confident in her plan. "Take the family I work for down?" Mr. Patrick repeated, his expression turning serious. "Let's see who'll go down first." He pulled out his phone and dialed a number, instructing someone to "Pull down the Armstrong family and bring me the crumbs that are left. Tell their patron it's all their daughter's fault and she should apologize to Mr. Andrew if they want to keep working with us." Mr. Patrick glared at her, his eyes intense. Mrs. Hills was taken aback, wondering how he knew her family's name without her mentioning it. She shook off the thought, attributing it to coincidence. "I guess I'm that popular, huh?" She smiled and dialed another number, this time calling her father. "Hello, Daddy," she said, but was met with a loud scream on the other end of the line. "You fool! What have you done?!" Her father's thunderous voice almost deafened her, and she froze.ANDREW "What have you done?" her father bellowed, his anger palpable through the phone. The sound of his hands slamming on the table made her jump. She had never heard him so furious before, and she was paralyzed with fear. "Do you know how many years our family has stood strong without your help? We've been the oldest family to rise to fame in this city, maintaining our rank among the top ten for over a thousand years. But thanks to your actions, our family no longer exists!" Mrs. Hills could feel that her father's voice was cracked as he spoke. There was an excessive amount of pain rising through him at the moment. Sandra's eyes widened in horror as she gazed at Mr. Patrick. "Could it be that he's the one who did this to us?" she thought, her mind racing. Just a minute ago, he made a call, and now her family is destroyed? She gulped, her heart pounding in her chest. What had she done? She was scared. Mr. Patrick's power and control were overwhelming. He wasn't even among the to
ANDREW He wondered, "Is this person not a member of the family? If not, how did he gain so much power and influence?" He was puzzled and skeptical, thinking to himself, "Does he think I'm foolish enough to believe this?" He scowled, but decided to play along, at least for now. With a hint of confusion in his voice, he asked, "What are you talking about? Don't your own words sound confusing to you?" He probed further, asking as though he was seeking clarification on the mysterious situation even though a part of him felt like he was about to be lied to. Mr. Patrick let out a really deep sigh. "You don't have to pretend, I know the thoughts that are already only going through your head. When I am done explaining, I am sure that you are going to understand everything." He added. "First of all, I never wanted you to be back to the family. I have always been loyal to your parents and them only.” He smiled briefly and continued. “As you know, your father was adopted and owed all ri
ANDREW While they continued to watch, the video stopped at a man's legs and stopped. "Shit. It stopped already." Juliet snorted angrily seeing what had happened. She wanted to smash her phone to the floor. But she thought twice. That was a new mid range phone that had been gotten for her by Francis. It was worth about five hundred dollars. If she smashed it, he would certainly not be pleased and might have to stay without a cell phone for a while. When she was about to end the video, seeing that there was nothing much for them to watch anymore. But before she could end it, Kelvin, who had noticed something, stopped her from doing so. "That shoe. Isn't it owned by Andrew? And those pants too. I am so sure of it." She said, "Andrew? Are you sure that you are not making a mistake?" Lady Gaga also stepped forward to see for herself. It looked like her son was telling the truth after all. She was certainly taken aback by it. "What would Andrew be doing there at that time?
ANDREW "Hahaha! Look at who is here." Moris laughed. He had always seen this person coming to deliver soup to Lisa and he knew exactly who it was. "If it isn't your chicken soup delivery boy." He laughed heartily. Lisa frowned seeing that her husband was there. It was only going to make issues worse for her than it was already. "Now that you are around. I want you to watch your wife and I do our thing." There was a very vicious look on his face as he spoke. Lisa was already on the verge of crying and that broke his heart. Morris was about to plant a kiss on her face but before he could get to do that, he came Forward, punching him right on the face. Blood drew out quickly from his face and Lisa was stunned. Morris tried to stand his grounds and fight back. However, the person that was standing right before him was more trained.. Additional slaps landed on his face, causing Lisa to tremble with shock, her body quivering intensely, especially in her lower extremities.
ANDREW Mr. Henry's face was shealted with disdain. Their families always had the lowest outcomes whenever it came to family meetings. Taking Andrew with them was going to mean even more embarrassment for them. And if there was anything that he was trying to do, it was to make sure that his family appeared in a better light to the others. And someone had already been stationed to ruin this goal. A cold frown flashed across his face. "I wish that there was anything I could do but the patron requested for his presence himself, obviously to disgrace us!" His hands formed into a tight ball and the frown on his face deepened. "Don't worry uncle! We have kelvin with us. I'm sure that he is going to make up for this excuse of a man!" Her eyes seized Andrew up. The irritation evident in her eyes at the moment. “Besides, he already got a gift that will definitely sweep the patron off from his feet and bring us back to our former glory in the family!” Juliet replied, smiling. She had
ANDREW While the driver continued to shudder violently, Mr. Hills came down from his personal customized Porsche with a slight quiver. His men were stunned seeing the man that was standing before them. They had always known their boss to be a very arrogant person that was never afraid of anyone. But here he was, quivering like he was some sort of chicken. Whoever this person was, they thought that he had to be a very powerful personality, however, it was just Andrew. "What are you guys still waiting for? Bow at your master right this moment!" He shot a frightened glare at his guards that were still stuttering in awe. Most of them said nothing, immediately bowing down at this personality that stood before them. "There is no need to be so formal Mr. Hills!" Andrew smiled slightly, already getting uncomfortable at the way that he was treated. "You can just call me Andrew!". Mr Hills was stunned. He thought that Andrew was still furious with him after what had happened before
ANDREWLisa was a bit surprised. Since this was supposed to be only for family members which this person wasn't part of."Isn't that the guy you used to like?" Juliet quickly chimped in with a smile."I'm sure that you guys will be able to make something out together!" She added, making sure that these words were just between the both of them."Emphasis on the word 'used to," Lisa replied.Even though she used to like this person, he had stormed away from her life without even telling her, like she was some sort of nobody. Asking them to do something was not just out of it, but extremely impossible because she was obviously married. With a kid!She braised herself up quickly, putting up a composed look on her face. She wasn't going to allow herself to be tossed about by anyone just because they were richer than her husband.When they got down from the car, someone was now standing right next to Davis. The first Son-in-law of the family from the Guild family.He was known as the person
ANDREWThe patron was yet to arrive while the table was already fully set. Andrew sat with the rest of the family the only person that was even trying to make a conversation with him at the moment was Lisa.The other members of the family sat, throwing Lazer glares at Andrew from afar, their faces filled with obvious disdain."What's someone like him even doing here! The first family. They are supposed to lead this Great family but they are the ones that want to pull it down?" Another member of the family soon said."I know that they have been having a bad performance in the family lately so what are they planning to do! Make it the worse that it came to get?"Mr. Henry's head was bowed. Is hate and disgust for Andrew increasing with everyone second that went by."Guys guys!" Someone muttered from afar.The words were ones that were recognized by almost everyone to belong to Fred and their heads were already tilted in his direction as they rose from his seat."There is no need for us
