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

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

    Chapter 107“You're shocked, right?” She jolted both Joseph and Stephen out of their thoughts but her words went directly to Stephen. “I have told you, and I'll continue to tell you over and over again, that you can never find any man as good as Michael!”This old woman had always loved Michael and her love for him was unwavering. She had always wanted him to be by her side for eternity. And this….? She had to take hold of this slight opportunity to get Michael back. Maybe now, Stephen might think twice and see to it. Because $50,000,000 isn't a small amount of money.It's a lot of money that will automatically change their lives for good. And since Stephen loves money, he might definitely try to get Michael back.Michael wasn't only going to get rich, but this would make him become a celebrity with power and influence. Stephen, whose face was covered with so much astonishment, looked at Isabella, his mother, and couldn't know what to say to her at that moment.“Grandma, do you act

    Chapter 108 “Just shut up! Get up, go inside, park your things, and leave my house this minute, you barren bitch!” Morgan shouted at Ella, his wife, fiercely. Hearing her husband speak that way, Ella instantly stood up and the smile that had once refused to come suddenly appeared on her face. Ella chuckled, looking at her husband. He must be teasing her, right? She couldn't stop herself from laughing. And as she laughed, she said, “Stop teasing me, baby.” She added the pet's name that she normally called him. Ella thought Morgan, her husband, was joking with her. But he even added, ‘barren bitch.’ This is serious! However, Ella didn't take it to heart even when the word sounded serious. She was a jolly woman with a clean and clear heart anyway. “I said I'm sorry,” Ella said again and walked close to her husband. “Please, let's go inside the room.” In contrast, Morgan pulled her back. “Don't dare come close.” He yelled at Ella again. Ella's eyes widened in great sho

    Chapter 109 Ella started to cry instead, and Michael felt it was something that needed not to be discussed this way, so he said. “Please, come with me, and let's go to my house.” “House? Have you gotten a place of your own?” Although Ella was currently in sorrow, she couldn't hide the excitement she felt when Michael mentioned that he now owns a house. Michael, being too smart, instantly shook his head and giggled. “Oh, no…. I didn't mean that. The street is dangerous and you can't stay here. Let me find somewhere that's safe for you.” He said that and then scratched the back of his head. That has been so close to getting caught. Ella nodded, realizing a disappointing sigh. With that, they both began to walk down the street. Michael's mind began to race with so many unanswered questions that were bothering him right inside. “Why was she outside at this time of the night?” He gave Ella a sharp glimpse before focusing on the way. “Must it be something that might have happen

    Chapter 110“Don't be afraid, ma'am. I'm not here to harm you, I'm here to take you inside by my manager's order.” The security guard said, immediately he approached them. He then turned to Michael and added, “Sir, please, follow me.” He bowed his head.Michael smiled and said, “Okay. Thank you.” He then turned to Ella whose face was filled with confusion.Why was the security guard bowing his head to this popular broke man? She knew that the money that the security guard was earning from guiding the company alone was enough to feed Michael throughout his entire life.“Let's go inside, Ella,” Michael said to her.But Ella reluctantly stepped back as she hurriedly asked, “Do you know him? Why is he ordering us to go with him? And how did the manager get to know that we are here?” Michael replied. “I don't know. Who knows whether the camera had captured us from here without our knowledge.” He tried to convince Ella to believe his words but Ella wasn't easily given in.“I'm not going.

    Chapter 111 “I will take another room. Please, go and take your bath and have some rest. We will talk about everything tomorrow. Good night.” Michael uttered and left the room. Ella slammed the door shut slowly. Turning back and looking at the beautiful room, Ella's body grew cold, still not believing this…. Ella seemed to forget the pain that was literally eating her up. Her eyes flashed with unbelief and suspicion. “Was he the Michael that I know? What power does he now possess?” Ella muttered to herself as she ran her hand, touching the lavished and decorated furniture that was inside the room. They were too super expensive! Her husband's house, or now ex-husband's house, was nowhere close to this particular room that was in the hotel. As Ella kept admiring the room, an image of her room back then in her husband's house flashed through her eyes. And tears began to drop down from her eyes. She fell to the ground and broke into tears for minutes. Although she wept bit

Quickly, he raced to the man and caught up with him. He was breathing faster as he got close to the man. The man looked at him, inflamed. “Hey, get back. Don't come a bit close to me!” He warned Michael seriously as he gave him a stop hand. Michael calmly nodded his head and stepped backward. He managed to steady his voice after the sprint. “Sir, you're such a magnanimous person for letting me stay here for the night for just $4, some other workers wouldn't do what you just did.” The man was deceived by Michael's kind words to him. He smiled, feeling over the moon. “That's what we do for a living.” He replied. Michael's eyes opened wide a bit. “So, I'm actually not the first nor will I be the last th

    The End

    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

    The Attack

    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

    Strange Encounter

    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
