..Landon walked forward and raised his voice. “What are you all doing for goodness sake?”Hearing a strange voice butt into their affairs, the four siblings all stopped arguing with each other and looked at him.“And who the hell are you?” Duke instinctively asked Landon with complete rudeness.However, Darwin gave Landon a good look and called out. “Landon?…”“Landon?” Felicity was stunned when she heard Darwin call the stranger Landon and then she gave him a good look only to recognize him as well. “Landon!”She could not believe this was Landon. He has gotten more mature than she last saw him and he has turned into a more handsome man. She did not know when a glint of lust shone in her eyes.“Do you mean the other orphan Landon?” Lara also gave Landon a good look as well and then she recognized him.“Yes, guys it is me,” Landon answered as he looked at them with a not so happy expression.“Landon!” Darwin suddenly laughed as he looked at Landon with eyes of contempt. “Good to see
..“The transaction was declined.”The moment the cashier voiced out the status of the transaction, Darwin instantly let out a laugh. “I knew it! There’s no way this brat can afford a whopping sum of fifty thousand dollars and it looks like I was right!”Darwin was so excited when he saw the outcome of his sudden bet. He had been so scared that Landon might have been capable of paying for the hospital bill but judging from the outcome of things he suddenly knew that his fear was not needed.“I can’t believe this loser agreed to Darwin’s bet without being capable.” Lara jeered. “I almost believed he was capable of paying the bill for a second.”“Same here Sis.” Duke chuckled mockingly. “What a loser. I guess now he would have to bark like a dog in his underwear. Do you think this idiot would fulfill his part of his bet?”“Why wouldn’t he?” Darwin said with a threatening voice. “If he doesn’t perform his part of the bet I will force him to do so.”Landon said nothing but frowned. ‘What
..“Daddy?” A puzzled expression suddenly appeared on Aunt May’s face when she heard the little girl refer to Landon as daddy.Even the four siblings also had a puzzled expression as well. When did Landon become a father?Landon saw the expressions written on their faces, so he instantly knew the questions they were asking in their minds. However, he answered Trixie’s question first before answering theirs.“Yes, Trixie. This is Aunt May I told you about.”Landon turned to look at Aunt May and said. “Aunt May, this is Trixie. I adopted her a few months ago.”“Awwwwn.” Aunt May had an adorable expression as she looked at Trixie and opened her arms wide, inviting Trixie for a hug. “Come here.”Trixie giggled and ran into Aunt May's arms to hug her.“Oh, Landon. You did well to take in an adorable kitten.” Aunt May praised Landon sincerely.She has always loved children. It took both she and her husband at least three years before they could have Darwin. Being childless over those three
..“The house!”The eyes of all four siblings lit up with the burning desire of greed.Charlie saw the kind of expressions they were all making when they heard his words and then he replied. “Don’t tell me you all forgot about the house Landon owns. I don’t think you all are interested in making good cash.”“We are,” Darwin replied. “It just slipped their minds for a second.”How can they forget about the house Landon owns? Even if that house is nothing but a very small trashy property they all knew that trashy property is gold. A few years back their father had shared landed properties with all the children except Daisy who got a trust fund. As four reckless children, they had sold their inheritance and used the money to pursue different things. However, a year after they sold their properties news came about the sudden development of the whole of Autumnvale by the Grey Group and overnight the prices of lands and houses started to skyrocket.By the time the four siblings realized th
..Ten minutes later, Landon, the four siblings, and Charlie all arrived at a nice luxurious restaurant.It was not a restaurant where the richest individuals in the entire Autumnvale go to dine but it was not a place the poorest of the bunch go to eat either. In other words, the restaurant was a type of restaurant perfectly suited for middle-class individuals.They all ordered their meals and started eating when they got served.“So Landon,” Darwin asked while chewing on his food. “How has school and everything been?”“School has been fine,” Landon replied as he continued eating too.“You work now?” Darwin asked once more.“No, I don’t work. I’m a student but I’ll be starting my internship soon.” Landon replied. “It is one of the reasons I came back home because I’ll be doing my internship here.”Charlie had a curious expression on his face as joined the conversation and asked. “So you say you don’t do any job or run any business in school?”“Nope,” Landon answered.“So how did you
..When Charlie heard Landon’s words, he decided to continue with Landon’s joke for a little while longer. Didn’t Landon say he was about to call Mr. David? How about he see things for himself?“Oh? The call got through? Here, let me hear what he has to say!” Charlie teased nastily and snatched the phone right out of Landon’s hand before putting the call on speaker mode so that everyone could hear the conversation.“Hello, who is this? Are you Mr. David? Hey, Mr. David, I’d like to know, are you planning on playing along with an act too?” He asked derisively.“Hey, you are not the young master! Who are you?” Mr. David asked.“Me? Hahaha! I’m Charlie William, manager of David Corporation in Autumnvale! I have to say you tried nailing Mr. David’s voice. You are pretending to be Mr. David, aren’t you? Well, you don’t fool me. I like to see you keep trying!” Charlie scoffed. There’s no way Mr. David will be friends with a loser like Landon.“Charlie William right? Very well, I’ll remembe
. . When Charlie heard Landon’s words a frown on his face. Here, was he trying to be serious and Landon dared to still joke?! “That does it! The hard way it is for you! I am connected to a lot of top people in this town. If you don’t take my nice offer now that I’m giving you the chance, don’t blame me for what happens next. I will make your life in this town a hell until you come to beg me.” Charlie threatened. “And if I don’t beg?” Landon raised an eyebrow. “Then it would be an expected news in the future if you suddenly disappear,” Charlie said coldly. Landon frowned slightly at this moment. Landon was no fool. He could very well get the hint in Charlie’s last words. Charlie was threatening his life. “I wanted to show you mercy if you were willing to beg me by calling Mr. David to give you back your job but I have changed my mind,” Landon replied sternly. “You must be punished, Charlie.” However, his words only caused Charlie and the rest of the siblings to laugh at the tabl
. . There was an instant dead silence at their table as the call ended. Apart from the everyday sounds coming from other people having their meals, the table that Landon, Charlie, and the rest of the four siblings occupied was completely silent. Everyone eating at the table apart from Landon had a complicated expression on their face. ‘What just happened?’ This was the question that slipped in the minds of everyone. Charlie was very confident so he called Don Sebastian, leaving the phone call on loudspeaker. Because of this everyone at the table heard how his conversation with Don Sebastian had an unexpected outcome. Don Sebastian had refused to do Charlie a favor because he said Charlie was now fired from his company. How is Charlie fired from David Corporation? Darwin was the most confused because he too works in the same corporation and he knows that Charlie is very much employed so how is it that Charlie is that Don Sebastian feels that Charlie has been fired? This was what
