Chapter 114 “Oh, Perry Nelson? He's one of the dedicated workers here. Do you want him to get promoted?” Isaac swiftly took the words out of Michael's mouth. “He's a dedicated worker?” Michael frowned his face at Isaac. It seemed like Isaac hadn't studied this gender called Perry Nelson very closely. “I want him fired!” Michael said coldly. And Isaac wore a slight surprising expression. Michael didn't want to tell Isaac Perry's offense because if he did, Isaac might do something terrifying to him, and he didn't want to hurt anyone. Just a night and he wants Perry to be sacked? Could it be that he had noticed some kind of attitude that he didn't like? If Michael wants him to fire Perry then who was Isaac to argue with him? Isaac stood for a while and then asked thoughtfully, “Did he offend you?” He then said, infuriated, “If he did, tell me and let me break his legs and have him thrown out right away!” Michael nodded, “I can't explain the disgusted character of that st
Chapter 115 Franklin nodded, “Yes, please. Mr. John is here in the office. He said he wants to see you and it's urgent!” “Is there any problem? Michael asked, feeling disturbed. He then added, “Please, tell him that I'll be there soon.” The call abruptly ended. Right after that, Michael looked at Ella and said, “Please, I have to go somewhere and it's urgent.” He smiled at her and added in an exciting tone. “Congratulations to you. I'm happy for you.” “Where are you going?” Ella asked, worried. “You don't have to worry. Just go and start your life-changing job.” He then shifted his gaze, “And you, Isaac, take care of everything….” “You two both know each other?” Ella interrupted sharply, feeling betrayed and lied to. Michael instantly scratched the back of his head. He patted his leg gently. ‘I have messed up everything. What should I do now…? Michael thought inwardly. Ella continued to look at him, waiting for a reply. Just then Isaac stepped in, “That bastard knows
Chapter 116 The driver then said to Michael, “You will go with the news board so I can get my reward if you don't want yours. I want mine; I have suffered a lot; please, don't say no!” He pleaded with Michael with an earnest tone. Michael wore another confused expression as he stared at the driver. ‘Is this man out of his senses? He's telling me to go to the news board because of $1,000?” He let out a sigh, aware of the fact that the driver didn't know his background status. “Young man, stop making a fool of yourself!” Michael slowly became annoyed. “You want me to follow you to the news board just because of $1,000?” He asked, frowning his face. The driver looked at him in a rage that wasn't visible. He wanted this young man to just follow him there so he could get the money. That was why he didn't showcase his annoyance because this young man might just become furious and choose not to go with him. Thus the driver said in a pleading and softened manner. “Sir, please, d
Chapter 117 The security guard's face turned furious but he asked. "Which tattered man are you talking about?" He tried hard not to believe that his ant was referring to his young Master. Just then the driver said, “I mean that young man that you opened the gate for!” Instantly, within a wink of an eye, a tight, resounding slap that caused the driver's phone to fall off his hand landed on the driver's face. The driver stumbled backward and fell to the ground. Saliva instantly covered his mouth. His eyes also turned red. And his vision turned blurry to him as he found it hard to recognize where he was. Also, he started to hear strange sounds echoing in his ears. The security guard then walked up to the driver, who lay on the ground, battling to regain himself. The security guard leaned down with a fearsome face as he glanced at the driver. He pulled the driver from the ground with his right hand, causing the driver to hang in the air. “How dare you address my Young Ma
Chapter 118 Immediately, the security guard nodded his head and said, “Yes! Please, follow me.” The security guard led the way, and Rose, alongside Fred, joined him. Immediately they got inside, the security guard called to his Boss, Morgan, and immediately Morgan came out, the security guard left for his duty post. Setting his eyes on Rose, Morgan frowned as he let out an annoying sigh. He took his seat and then said to Rose. “Please, sit down.” “Thank you,” Rose replied, gratefully. She sat and Fred also took his. “How are you doing, Rose?” Morgan asked with a cheerful tone. “I'm doing good, thanks. What about you?” Rose also asked. “I'm great,” Morgan replied and sat up, balancing himself on the sofa, comfortably. Rose scanned around before asking thoughtfully. “I can't find Ella around, where is she? Isn't she at home?” She eagerly asked. Her question caused a layer of annoyance to form on Morgan's face. He kept silent without saying a word for some moment, and
Chapter 119 “You have nothing to worry about.” Stephen interrupted Fred, not letting him finish what he wanted to say. “I'm happy that you're getting closer to her, and I want you to keep it up.” He smiled. Fred returned his smile with a nod. “I will!” Meanwhile, at Diamond Hotel, right after Isaac Will Daniel finished announcing Ella as a new worker in the hotel, he told Perry Nelson to see him in his office. Diamond Hotel was the name of the place. Not up to five minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and Perry walked inside. His legs were shaking right from the moment that he had received this call from Isaac the manager, to see him. Should it be that the pathetic developed the nerve to report him to the manager? Hmm! His parents didn't give birth to him very well to dare to do so! Perry thought to himself and also cursed under his breath. He then waved it out of his head, and a long, unending smile played on his face as he remembered that the pathetic man had
Chapter 120 “Okay, sir.” Isaac nodded and sent the account details. And when the call was still on since Michael had told him not to end the call, Isaac got an alert. He glanced at it and was stunned. “Thirty thousand dollars? For a building for her?” “Yes!” Michael nodded. “She had been a true and supportive person to me when I had nothing. This is the only little way I can help here.” He continued. “I want you to look for a luxurious house by yourself, once you find one, don't hesitate to get it for her.” Isaac's mouth was wide open. “I will do that, sir. But what will I say? Like, how will I be able to forge a lie to convince her to accept this strange and suspicious offer?” Michael's sigh echoed through the speaker, “I don't know. Just do it. Come up with any possible believable lies that you can think of.” He started and ended the call. Isaac took a deep breath as he mumbled, “That's a fucking huge amount of money!” Meanwhile, right after the call with Isaac, Mi
Chapter 121 “$200,000? Ah, that's a huge amount of money. Where can I get such money from?” Cordelia said with a shaky voice. “I'm sorry, ma'am but that's what we can take for his treatment.” Cordelia was silent for some moment, feeling torn to pieces from the current state of things that were currently burning her up; she managed to respond. “Alright, please start the treatment on him. I'll make a deposit of $50,000 today.” She stated without knowing when the rest of the money was going to be completed. And with that, the call ended. Her mother, Sandra, who only heard Cordelia's responses without hearing that of the doctor, looked at Cordelia immediately after the call ended and asked, “What did the doctor say? Is Paul getting any better?” Her face was overlaid with worry. But Cordelia didn't answer her a word. Meanwhile, Michael entered the grand office, which exuded wealth much more than his. This was Mr. John Lewis’ office. He smiled as he saw Franklin and Uncle J
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
Chapter 172 On the podium, Mr. John pointed at Michael and said, “He's the president of this great company from today henceforth.” He declared firmly. And the whole hall erupted into applause. 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
Chapter 171Meanwhile, the next day, early in the morning, a group of vehicles filled with journalists with their big cameras, microphones, notebooks and pens, digital recorders, and some with smartphones arrived at Maple's biggest company ahead of the announcement to be made. 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
Chapter 170 Still in the store, the sales representative looked at Michael and asked, “Do you have any brand or model in mind?” Michael shook his head and replied, “No, I don't. 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
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
