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
Chapter 103 “I want to see the manager, your employer now!” Michael added, tightening his face. His words sounded funny to the ears of everyone, including the employees, and they began to laugh. Lucy raised her head and looked at him. This is all my fault. She blamed herself but promised to fix everything right before it got out of control. “Hey, young man. Our manager is a busy person and wouldn't have his precious time wasted on you, got it? But anyways, I'm going to call him and you will be taught a lesson since you think that we're joking here.” “Please, don't call him. I'll search for ways to pay.” Lucy begged. She would have used her phone to transfer the money but her mobile USSD code wasn't yet activated. Hence, she could only use her card at the moment. “This is all my fault and not his. I'll look for a way and fix it myself. You don't have to call the manager for him.” Lucy further added, feeling worried. “He demanded it and he will get it.” The waiter put a
Chapter 104 With a swift look, Cordelia stared at Sandra. Confusion etched in her forehead and curiosity etched also in her voice. “Mom, don't I belong here? Whose daughter am I? Who's my father and where is he?” She screamed, blinking her eyes. A dagger of betrayal cut through every part of her body. Sandra advanced nearer to her cautiously. Her hand was shaking as she tried to place it on Cordelia's shoulder. She managed to put it on her shoulder, shakily. However, Cordelia vigorously pulled it off. But Sandra still managed to say, her voice trembling. “Cordelia, I'm sorry, you're getting to know it this way.” Once again, Cordelia gaped in anger. “Is it true that I don't belong here?” She uttered, slowly. “Yes. You're not White's biological daughter. He isn't your father as you have thought. I got you out of wedlock before getting married to White. I'm sorry, darling.” Sandra was deeply saddened as she explained. Cordelia allowed her to explain but she glared at
Chapter 105 The employee didn't get to finish his words when a slap landed on his face, sending his words quickly back into his mouth as it was coming. “How dare you talk to my customer like that, you pathetic fool? Do you want to lose your job?” Jerry yelled. The waiter's face grew pale like a sheet of white paper after receiving the tight slap that covered the totality of his face. His forehead also grew cold, causing him to sweat. The slap had come with so much force. The spectators were shocked as they all gasped at the sudden turnout of the event. Their expectations were for the manager to teach this useless man who was causing trouble a lesson, but it turned out that he was teaching the waiter instead. Lucy, on the other hand, was astonished. She had heard so much about how this manager treats those who cause trouble in the hotel. But this….? She couldn't tell but quickly gaze at Michael. Michael, on his side, was surprised at this time. At first, when the manag
Chapter 106 Even she didn't hold the authority that this man held. Fear instantly gripped her and she asked, “Who are you? What's your true identity? Please, don't lie to me! Are you truly who you said you were?” Lucy asked, feeling like she was with someone powerful. But where's the power? Someone that's not even dressed in a branded suit and so…how could he be powersome? Michael, who never at any time wanted to reveal his identity yet, suddenly smiled as a cunning lie had already crept into his head. After the inward smile, Michael cleared his throat, causing his words to move smoothly. “It was my lifetime savings that I used in settling the bills. I couldn't watch you get humiliated.” A deceiving broadened smile kept running on his face. “You shouldn't be worried about me. I'll get back two times what I spent today. Just a few jobs and I'll recover them.” He added. However, Lucy wore a frown. This wasn't the answer she was expecting. As a result, she said, raising her
