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
Chapter 130The gate guard hurried and rolled the gate away without waiting for any reply. 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
Chapter 131 The receptionist hesitated and responded after a while. “Sir, it's a birthday celebration and the celebrant had paid to use this hall and some other rooms.” She said while Michael was looking around. 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,
Chapter 132 Immediately, Michael's voice echoed out; all eyes narrowed at him in surprise. 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. Pleas
Chapter 133 Galp! The gang member and the bodyguard, including Don Scott, were shocked. The two of them vigorously shook their heads. 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
Chapter 135 The waiter was surprised and shocked at the same time, he smiled, “You don't have to do that, ma'am. You're a guest here and I'm a worker. This is my work and not yours. 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
