Chapter 128

However, to everyone's shock and dismay, the driver reluctantly shook his head in disapproval. “I'm sorry but I can't go.” He said, his voice carrying firmness.

“What did you just say? You're not going? Why?” Maria asked, angry.

The driver firmly nodded his head and replied, “That's because no one of you is allowed to drive in the car except for Grandma Isabella. I'm sorry but I can't go.”

Although, Maria and Joseph had found the driver's words to be some joking type but it rather was too serious.

Joseph's jaw tightened, but since he had always wanted to drive in this car to impress his friends, he smiled, knowing that this might be his opportunity to do so since the driver was refusing to drive them.

His anger faltered for a moment. “Don't bother yourself, Mom,” Joseph said, “I'll drive instead since he isn't fit. Perhaps, he might be feeling weak or so.”

He said as if he knew the driver's condition. He then turned and said to the driver, “Handle over the key to

    Chapter 129 There was silence over the phone for a while and Michael cleared his throat and asked, his curiosity piqued. “Are you really a manager at the restaurant?” “Not really sir. I was sent to inspect the place. It's still my Boss, the owner of Diamond Hotel that owns the place.” Isaac answered. “Alright then,” Michael said, “Have you been able to talk about the house offer to Ella yet?” He asked. Isaac hurriedly replied, his voice laced with fear and sincerity. “Ah, that? I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry, sir, I haven't been able to do it, but I promise that I'll do it right after now.” Michael chuckled lightly, “Don't worry, I'm not mad at you. Also, I'm glad you haven't. I want you to send back the money to my account, I'll build her a house instead of purchasing an already made one.” “That sounds nice. With that, she could be able to choose the type of house she likes.” Issac nodded and said, thoughtfully. “But how do you intend to do that?” He asked. He knew that M

Jennifer eyed him with fury in her eyes.She ignored him, dashed into the car again, and drove into the compound. As Jennifer stepped down from the car, the gate guard was already standing in front of her with a remorseful expression.Just as he was about to apologize, a slap landed on his face. “You pig, learn to be awake.” Jennifer was the one who slapped him with her tightened face.“I'm sorry, ma'am. I totally forgot that you both went out.” The gate guard stammered through the hot slap, apologizing. “Get out of my sight!” Jennifer shouted at him. “I think we should also learn to forget to pay you when it's month end. It will be better that way.” For the moment, Jemmifer seemed to forget what was at hand—Morgan was inside the car groaning in pain while she was busy letting her anger out on the gate guard. Already ashamed, the gate guard turned with his hand placed on the slapped cheek, he

The receptionist then drew Michael's attention back as she asked, “Can we proceed with yours instead?” Michael nodded but wasn't happy at what he was seeing. “Sure. I want to book a room, any vacant one?” His attention was then focused on the receptionist. “Of course, sir. There are few rooms available but they are quite expensive.” “Why is it so?” Michael asked. He had thought that the infamous rich man who was celebrating his birthday would have booked and lodged in the expensive rooms alongside his gang members. “I think that's because it's expensive like I said. And no one has been able to pay for it.” The receptionist said and glanced down at the computer, going through the list of rooms that were available at the moment. Suddenly, she raised her and said,

And the lady quickly and smartly yanked herself from the fierce bodyguards and ran to the back of Michael, holding his waist. “Please, save me, Michael. Save me! They are hurting me. Don't let them continue.” Lucy cried out, her eyes full with tears and her voice drawing emotion. Even though Lucy knew that Michael wasn't powerful enough to save her from this infamous man, she had no other option but to run to him. Perhaps he might do something that she doesn't even know how. Michael turned and looked at Lucy, perplexed. “What are you doing here…” Before he could even finish his statement, Don Scott had already shouted at his bodyguards. “Get that fool out of the way and bring her to me!” Don Scott yelled and yelled at his bodyguards who nodded firmly and began to approach where Michael was with fierce faces while he sat down to watch. “Michael, please, don't let them take me.

How could they slap their Boss whom they respect and fear so much? By the side of Michael, Lucy, who was now convinced that Michael had some kind of hidden power that she wouldn't bother to know about now, yelled. “Do it! Slap him now!” There was contempt in her voice towards Don Scott. Her words alone vividly showed how she hated that notorious man. Michael joined in, furious. “I said slap him now if you don't want to see the other side of me!” Hearing that, Don Scott's legs jiggled more than the previous. He knew that it would be better and safer for him to receive the slaps than to allow Michael to deal with him in his way. Thus, he shouted at his bodyguard and gang member, “What's still stopping you? Slap me now!” He slapped them. Out of annoyance, both the bodyguard and the gang member in unison landed tight and resounding slaps

    Chapter 134 Back inside, after walking for twenty minutes, Michael and the staff member arrived upstairs; Michael couldn't help but admire the beautiful, grand design of the place. The door that he saw was beautifully painted black. “No wonder, the price per night is something else.” He nodded his head in approbation. “It's worth the pay.” He muttered to himself. Not that it was his first time going to sleep in such a luxurious place but he was the type who admired some things. “Here we are, sir.” The staff member said, snapping him out of his thoughts. He gestured his hand to the door and added, “Here's your room. To be able to enter your room, you just need to place the access card that has been given to you right here.” He pointed to a modern and sleek, silver pedestal next to the suite entrance. “You may proceed.” He stepped aside, allowing Michael to get close to the door. With the access card placed on the spot, the door automatically swung open, revealing the opul

You don't have to help me, I'll get it done.” However, Lucy insisted, standing firmly on her words. Her tone was not shaky but commanding, “I said give it to me, I'll take it to his room. Just give it to me and go and attend to some other things.” “But….” “Don't worry.” Lucy interrupted the waiter sharply, “I insist that you give it to me, you won't be fired for this.” She reassured the waiter, and to soften the whole thing, she dipped her hand into her handbag, brought out a dollar note, and cunningly put it into the waiter's pocket. “I think that'll serve.” She smiled at the waiter, who remained silent, perplexed, while this lady was acting the way she was doing. “Now, hand it over to me!” Lucy added, her voice full with command and it was as if she just used charm or loved eyes on the waiter who

She continued without allowing Michael to say a word, “I'm sorry for everything.” “I was never angry at you in the first place.” Michael interrupted, “Just have a nice rest, good night.” He abruptly added and ended the call. He sighed after the call, then made use of the landline telephone, sending a call through, and within twenty minutes, a waiter came in, gathered the dishes, and left the room. “Good night, sir. Have a wonderful rest.” He said to Michael before leaving. “Thank you,” Michael answered him with acknowledgment. He then turned on the TV and watched an Indian Drama, but slowly,y, he fell asleep. Meanwhile, the morning broke at 5 AM still inside the Grand Hotel, Michael rolled himself on the bed, and his eyes slowly opened. He yawned, stretching his body, and sat on the bed. He looked at the clock and saw the time, “It's morning already. I need to go ba

    Chapter 173 *Weeks later* The hall was decorated with balloons, and luxurious cars were parked everywhere in the surroundings. Men and women in elegant suits were happily moving around with glasses of red wine in their hands. Cameras were already mounted everywhere with photographers taking pictures. The event was streamed live on all channels all over the world making people stay connected to it. “Wow, this is a remarkable and unforgettable day of my life. I'm gonna frame this for my grandchildren.” One exclaimed, smiling widely, taking in the luxurious atmosphere. ‘Indeed, it is. It's worth sharing!” One responded. Soon, everywhere became hushed like a graveyard, with everyone seated as a man dressed in a vestment with a cassock worn under the white vestment. He also wore a stole around his neck and a chasuble worn around his shoulders and stood in front of everyone. This is the priest. Close to him but in front of him stood a handsome, wealthy-looking man dressed in

And murmuring started, “Oh, wow. He looks handsome and young to handle such a company.” “I believe he's capable of handling it, that's why it's been handed to him.” The announcement had been made and yet the journalists seemed not to be leaving. One brave journalist stepped forward and said directly to Michael, “Sir, please, can you tell us? Do you have any experience in this before now?” Michael smiled, shaking his head, “No, I don't. However, I have studied and mastered everything that has to be done through the mentor of my beloved Uncle and manager.” He pointed to John and Franklin. “So, if I must answer, then yes.” The journalist nodded, impressed, “So, tell us, sir. What's your exact age?” “Just 26.” “26, and you're controlling a trillion-dollar company?” She swallowed an

Inside the big office in the company, Mr. John Lewis and Franklin sat. He looked at Franklin and asked, “Have they arrived?” “Yes, sir.” Franklin nodded.“What about Michael, has he arrived yet?” Franklin shook his head, “I don't think he has arrived. But let me call him.” He brought out his phone and called Michael. The phone kept ringing but there was no response after several trials. John looked at him and said, “Maybe, he might be on his way. Just go and lead the journalists in.” Franklin nodded and left. Getting outside, he saw a group of journalists who were all dressed in black and navy suits. He approached them with an authoritative demeanor, drawing everyone's attention of everyone to himself, “Go

I just need a smartphone of any brand that has amazing features, a long-lasting battery, and fast browsing. Any latest model or brand at all.” “Alright, do you want an iPhone 16? It's fast and has a good camera….” The sales representative began. Michael interrupted, “And what about the battery? Just don't worry about it, I'm using that brand and the battery doesn't last long. Don't you have any other brand apart from the Apple brand?” The sales representative nodded, “We do. Samsung Galaxy is another best brand that provides you with a long-lasting battery and other amazing features.” “What's the model?” “Samsung Galaxy S24, sir.” “Please, bring that for me.” Michael requested, “Bring it in pairs.” He wanted to taste the brand as well. “Sorry, I forgot, bring two HP computers alongside.”

    Chapter 169 Meanwhile, after Michael and Philip finished freshening up themselves, they headed to the parking lot. Michael, holding two car keys, threw one to Philip while he retained one. The car key he handed to Philip was the one belonging to a Mercedes Benz AMG that was worth over $200,000. “That's the key to that car.” He pointed at the sleek black Mercedes Ben that was parked in the lot. “It belongs to you from henceforth.” He said, walking to hop into the same brand of car. “Mine?” Philip said out with disbelief causing Michael to halt in his steps. He turned back and nodded with confirmation, “Yes, it's yours. Whenever you're going out, go with it. This is a small gift from me to you for being a good friend.” Overwhelmed with gratitude, Philip was about to fall on his knees in Michael's front but Michael swiftly caught him right in the air, shaking his head lightly, “You don't have to. You were there by my side when those school bullies were after my life.” He said

    Chapter 168 Meanwhile, a car pulled in front of a black gate, and a lady came out of the car, looking gorgeously dressed. Her face was filled with thick makeup that made her look extremely beautiful. Also, her neck was adorned with gold jewelry that added to her beauty. She walked into a compound with graceful steps carrying a handbag. As she got inside the living room where the whole family was sitting, she let out a warm smile. “Aah! Ella? You're here?” Rose jumped and hugged her, happily. “You didn't tell me you were coming so fast.” She helped with the handbag. Ella smiled, “But at least I told you that I'll come to visit you. That's what is important.” She then walked to Stephen, “Good day, sir.” Turning to Maria, she greeted, “Good day, ma'am.” Then to Grandma Isabella, she said, “Good day, Granny.” Grandma Isabella smiled, “You're welcome, my granddaughter. We have missed you a lot. And you look beautiful today.” “Yes, Grandma. I'm wondering what's making her look s

    Chapter 167Philip was startled, hearing that. His hand vibrated for fear, causing the glass of coffee to fall from his hand to the ground.Michael took a sharp look at him, “What's wrong, Philip? Is he the man?” He asked.Philip nodded, opening his mouth to answer but no words came out from his mouth. He then stood up as a group of officers walked into the coffee shop.“Here's that bastard!” Noah said, eyeing Philip with contempt.“Hey, you can't call him that!” Michael intervened, warning Noah. Noah glanced at him with a surprise yet furious gaze, “And who are you?” “I’m his brother and I won't…..” Noah interjected, “So, you're that bastard who had the guts to speak to me over the phone that way?” He moved to grab Michael but the senior officer interrupted, feeling belittled.“Mr. Noah, with all due respect, sir we won't tolerate this act of yours. We are here and you can't take laws into your hands.” He said and turned to Philip.“Young man, you're under arrest for trying to ru

    Chapter 166 Philip raised an eyebrow at Michael, “What do you mean by I know him?” He asked, “You're rich yet you don't know him. How will I know him then?” Michael, still wearing a smiling expression, said dismissively, “Don't worry, you will get to know when it's time.” Philip was silent, looking at him with dull and heavy eyes. He was slowly feeling sleepy, his eyes growing dim. He then managed to say, “Whatever.” He stood up and taped Michael's shoulder, “I need to sleep. Good night.” “Alright, have a nice rest,” Michael responded, also sensing his eyes going heavy, intending to sleep too. Without any more words, Philip walked out and slammed the door behind him. The next day around six o'clock, the morning broke at a sophisticated building with a spacious compound. By the left side of the house was a blue canopy accommodating two sleek black and red cars. Inside the living room of this house, a man was spotted, sitting on a sofa, looking through the door, and seem

    News All Over

    Chapter 165 “Why? Why should I leave the man I love?” Jennifer retorted her father's words, sounding angry. All this time, Morgan was still there, looking surprised and shocked, confusion washing all over him. He wasn't hearing what Jennifer was discussing with her father but her actions and replies were beginning to make him feel uncomfortable. Noah cleared his throat and explained softly, “Jennifer, it's not that I'm against your relationship with him. From the picture that you sent to me, it's clearly stated and instructed that no company, both small and big, should employ this young man that I'm seeing.” Jennifer squeezed her face, looking confused, “What do you mean no company should employ him? And by whose order was such law made? And why?” Noah, trying to steady his voice, said, “I don't know the reason why but the law was made by the newly elected anonymous president of the Golden Group of Companies.” “What?” Jennifer was startled. How did the new president even
