Chapter 153 Meanwhile, around four in the evening, a sleek yet out-dated Benz drove into a compound. And a man swayed out of the car, shuffling his feet with slow and deliberate steps. He was lacking energy and enthusiasm as he walked. He placed his eyes down, avoiding any eye contact, and his clothes were tatteredly arranged as the buttons of his shirt were opened, exposing his chest. He paced back and front, feeling trapped with a car key in his hand. His heart raced with turmoil and his shoulders slumped as he struggled to believe what had happened in his place of work. This man was no other than Morgan, the man who had just been sacked from his workplace following Michael's order. “What am I going to do? Where am I going to get such a well-paying job from?” His eyes blinked, causing the light of the day to grow dim in his sight. “Michael?” He recalled, feeling stuck in his movement. “What power or influence does he have that made the manager throw me out of the compa
Chapter 154 The driver quickly ran out of the car to approach Michael but was blocked by the soldiers who were collectively furious. However, Michael intervened, securing him from the soldiers but was still surprised, “Let him go!” He said, they nodded and reluctantly freed him. Michael then looked intently at the driver. His face looked familiar to him but he couldn't remember where he had seen him, “Do you know me?” He asked. The driver hesitated and nodded vigorously, trying to steady his breath, “Yes, yes. I do. You're Michael Robinson from Beihua University.” His expression then went puzzled as he stood straight in Michael's front, trying to make him recall his face, “Don't you remember me? Philip Donald, your classmate?” Galp! Michael staggered backward as he quickly recalled, “Philip Donald, the class representative who always shared his food with me when I had nothing?” His eyes widened. “Yes, yes. It's me, your Philip Donald!” The driver confirmed, nodding his he
Chapter 155Once inside, Philip was taken aback, he opened his mouth in shock. His arms crossed, glancing around and taking in the luxurious atmosphere. As he was looking at the whole place, Michael, who had already taken his seat, called out to him, gesturing at a space beside him, “ Come and sit down here, Philip.”Philip appreciated with a nod and hurried, sitting where Michael had pointed. He leaned closer to Michael and asked, “Is this a heaven?” “Heaven? What do you mean?” Michael tried to chuckle but he didn't. “Philip, stop daydreaming. This is an ordinary house on earth.” He added.“Ordinary? No.” Philip shook his head, disagreeing. “This is a heaven on earth for Christ's sake.” Michael, not wanting to further the argument, admitted, waving his hand dismissively, “Whatever you address it as.” He then looked up and saw a maid, carrying out the house chores.“Hey, where's my uncle?” He asked.“He's taking his rest, sir.” She replied, politely.“Please, tell him that I'm her
Chapter 156 “Please, go in. Young Master is inside to see you.” The bodyguard said to Philip, gesturing his hand to the door, and after that, he left, leaving Philip there in astonishment. He stood there still trying to process everything. It was just like he was daydreaming as he stared around the whole place that looked more luxurious than the first. Philip took a deep breath, shaking his head in amazement and after a while. Then he shook off fear, reached out to the door, twisted it open, and entered inside. Meanwhile, in Stephen Manor, Joseph walked downstairs and joined his family who were all in the living room except for Grandma Isabella, watching an Indian movie. His presence in the living room drew attention as everyone turned to look who it was and then concentrated back on the movie. After getting downstairs, Joseph settled on a sofa close to Rose silently. There was silence as they watched the movie but Joseph then broke it, saying, “Dad, we were both right about
Chapter 157 Minutes later, Michael finished taking his bath and headed to the dining hall that was decorated with food. He was dressed nicely as usual but this time, he was wearing something acceptable. He sat down and waited for Philip to come down so that they could eat together. While he waited, he brought out his iPhone 16 that he had been keeping in the house and went to his inbox for any message from Franklin, and yes, there was one. “Sir, the $50,000,0000 offering has been brought down.’ Franklin had sent but since Michael had had a busy day, he didn't have a chance to go through his phone. He also saw another message from Franklin too, ‘Everything is already in place now. Just two days from now.’ Michael smiled and chose to ignore it without replying. He then brought out his old creaked phone and saw a lot of missed calls from Lucy. He frowned and muttered, “What does she want from me?” A hint of annoyance and suspicion flashed through his eyes. He dropped it down witho
CHAPTER 1 It was 5 am inside the bedroom. A man in his mid-twenties was seen lying on a mat on the floor beside an elevated bed. His name was Michael Robinson and he was the live-son-in-law of the Stephen family. On top of the elevated bed was his wife, Rose Michael. She had long brown hair and cold green eyes. Also, her appearance was amazingly beautiful like that of an angel which made Michael count himself a lucky man on earth to have gotten married to her. However, Michael and Rose had never slept together as a couple even though they were legally married because Rose disliked him due to his poor status. Just then, Rose rolled herself on the bed, facing the direction where Michael was lying. As she opened her eyes, her eyes suddenly glanced down on her worthless husband lying on the cold-tiled floor, snoring that got her provoked.“I don't just know why this thing won't let me sleep in peace in my own house again. All he does is snore, snore and snore.” She muttered to herself
Chapter 2 As Michael got to the kitchen, he took a deep breath with the hope of getting everything done thereby fulfilling his wife's wish. He quickly dipped his hand into his pocket, bringing out his cheap Android phone which had several broken glasses and was half blind. The phone was so bad that he struggled to type, ‘step-by-step tutorials on how to prepare Black Pudding' on YouTube. After several minutes of struggling, he was able to type it and multiple results came out and he selected one of them and began to watch. “What a nonsense day for me. I can't even see anything on the screen. I'm not seeing a single thing.” Michael mumbled as he struggled to watch the video but couldn't see a single thing. Not seeing anything that was on screen got him so annoyed that he angrily switched it off. And with an annoying sigh, he pocketed it and sat in the air. “I can't even afford a good phone. How then am I going to make my darling Rose the meal she demanded?” He sighed and got u
Chapter 3 “Why? Rose, isn't he your husband? Why can't he dine with us?” Isabella queried, looking disappointed. “He's not my husband and can never be until he's capable of doing what other men are doing for their wives and family.” Rose retorted with a sharp tone. “Period!” Everyone supported, which made Michael bow his head in shame as he stood speechless. Not wanting to prolong the conversation which seemed unfavorable to her, Isabella sighed deeply and quietly opened her bowl to eat. The rest of the family also opened theirs. While Michael turned to go back to the kitchen. Just as he moved, Rose's angry voice caused him to halt in his steps again as he turned. “What the hell is this? Why Ma Po Tofu? Why did you prepare it? Didn't I tell you to prepare Black Pudding?” She angrily slammed her hand on the table, standing on her feet. “Yes, you did. But I don't know how to prepare Black Pudding.” Michael admitted calmly, walking closer and standing beside his father-in-law.
