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
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
