Chapter 95 “Good day, it's Franklin, the manager of Golden Group of Companies speaking.” A mature yet polite voice came from the other end of the call. Joseph's jaws almost dropped as he heard this. He looked at Stephen, his father, whose face was a hint of confusion because he wasn't hearing anything on the phone. “Dad, it's the Golden Group of Companies’ manager.” Joseph leaned to Stephen and whispered in a low tone that was barely audible. Stephen's mouth opened wide in astonishment. His eyes almost pulling out from its socket, he gestured at Joseph to put the phone on loudspeaker. Joseph nodded and did it immediately. “Are you still there, sir?” Franklin asked from the other line. Joseph nodded his head. “Yes, yes, sir. I'm here.” “Okay. Am I speaking with Joseph Stephen?” “Yes, sir. You're talking to the right person. Please, go on.” Joseph stammered in disbelief. “Alright, then. I got your contact from the delivery man who came to your house earlier for the s
Chapter 96Everyone simply nodded their heads coldly with satisfied expressions. “It's a brilliant idea. We are all going with you.” They all echoed at the same time.Meanwhile, at the Stephen manor, a lively party was in full swing. The grand hall was laced with beautiful decorations, and the sound of low-moved music filled the air. People were dancing, holding glassy cups of wine in their hands. The clinking of the glasses filled the air as the guests tossed for celebration.Meanwhile, inside the grand hall where the party is held, Joseph is dressed in a light red suit with his eyeglasses on. This was the suit he had bought from the Boutique store alongside his friends.The suit was glittering, making Joseph look smart and handsome. There was an explosion of smiles that played around the sides of his mouth as he walked around.Stephen, his father, on the other side was also dressed in a shiny suit. It was the one Joseph had bought for him, and it was well-suited for him.He was busy
Chapter 97 Just as Joseph stood up to lead the way, Michael called after him. “Hey, young man. Come here.” Joseph, hearing that, halted. His expression was that of bewilderment. The voice of who he just heard sounded familiar to him. And if vividly remembered, he knew that this voice was the same as that of his useless ex-brother-in-law. But who was he to query the CEO? Turning around, Joseph bowed his head slightly as he asked, politely. “Yes, sir. Do you want anything?” Michael shook his head, tittering. “No, I don't, but what if I want? Will you be kind enough to offer me something?” He asked, looking at Joseph as disbelief etched on his face. This same Joseph had been rude to him always and now, he is responding to him so kindly because he isn't aware that it was Michael. Joseph instantly nodded his head before saying, “Let's go inside, sir, so I can get you something." Franklin nodded in place of Michael, and immediately, six hefty bodyguards with intimidating heig
Chapter 98 “Oh, I see. But don't worry, he'll come back to you if indeed he cares about you. That's by the way, can you drive a car? I want to get you one." Michael said, feeling a relief that his promise was coming to pass. The last time that he visited Grandma Isabella, that was on her birthday, he had wanted to do this but he didn't because he knew that Grandma Isabella wouldn't accept it since she knew him to be poor but now….. He's dressed differently. “Huh….a car?” A shocking wave passed through the eyes of everyone present inside the hall. Scared, Grandma Isabella stepped backward, shaking her head. “I appreciate it, sir. But we don't need it.” She disapproved immediately. Not that the car wasn't going to be of help to them but accepting things in such a way is proof that one lacks contentment. Franklin looked at her and smiled and he chimed in instantly since he was now aware of everything. “Grandma, I know this sounds strange but this is a genuine offer from my
Chapter 99Why are you holding onto my hand like you have never touched it before, huh?”Joseph was taken aback by this. Confusion was hovering all over his face.Why did he do that? And why did he say what he just said? Joseph chuckled in confusion. “I'm sorry, sir. But I haven't touched you ever in my life. This is my first time doing so.” He retrieved his hand back to himself.Although he felt somewhat different, he heaved a relieved breath, aware that his friends had already taken shots of him with the CEO exchanging handshakes.However, to his dismay, Michael gestured at his bodyguards, ordering them to cease the phones from Joseph's friends. It was done effortlessly, and the pictures that they took were deleted from their phones. Michael had a reason for doing so.Just as the phones were returned to them, Michael said. “We have to take our leave now.” But before leaving, he remembered how Joseph had talked to him earlier about his sister being pregnant, so he seized this oppo
Chapter 100 However, Grandma Isabella spoke out. “Stop it, you all!” Her voice was filled with authority and power, setting off the beating to stop. Heads raised, the young men trembled at hearing Grandma Isabella's words. They had no option but to stop, or she might call the CEO for them. “We're sorry, ma.” Their voices trembled with fear. They picked up their phones from the ground with racing hearts and dashed out, leaving Paul almost lifeless on the ground. Blood was rushing out from his nose, and he was coughing out blood from his mouth, which had stained his clothes. Hurriedly, White stormed into his car, started the car engine, and reversed. Instantly, he rushed out and pulled Paul into the back seat. At this moment, Cordelia was already inside the car. White also stormed in, taking his place in the driver's seat. Sandra before entering, turned around and said to Grandma Isabella. “Thank you, ma.” And their car zoomed off and headed to the hospital. Meanwhile, as the ca
Chapter 101 White clenched his face angrily, went straight to the corridor, and gave one of the young doctors a dirty slap. “Shut up your mouth, you fool! Is this what you're been paid to do here?" He shouted. “Don't you have any work to do other than gossiping around?” The senior doctor rushed out of the ward. “Hey, what was that for, sir? I can't tolerate you coming to my hospital and raising your hand on my workers over what they saw on the internet.” White glared at the doctor and grabbed his collar, yelling at him. “Are you mad? Can't you see that I'm the one in the video, huh? Are you too blind to see that?” People began to gather around, helping the doctor and some also began to make video clips. “Let's go of him. You'll choke life out of him.” “Then let him die! I don't care.” Everyone shook their heads and after several attempts, the doctor was eventually dragged out of White's tight grip. As soon as he was released, the doctor gasped for air, his breathi
Chapter 102 “What?” John looked at Rebecca, shocked. “Rebecca, what has come over you? You changed all of a sudden, why?” “That's because you made me,” Rebecca replied, giving John a piercing gaze and immediately stormed out. John watched her disappearing figure and sighed heavily, slowly going down in agony. Meanwhile, in a beautiful sophisticated environment that displayed wealth all over the whole place. Different types of Porsche cars were parked on the lot. Men and women of great caliber were trooping inside the place with their magnificent cars while some were driving out. Cool warm-hearted music was playing in the background, and waiters and waitresses were busy attending to these caliber men and women with different species of foods, drinks, and more… The waiters and waitresses were all dressed in black wears. This was Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada Hotel. The most expensive and busiest hotel in the whole town. Inside where tables were uniquely designed and a
