Annelisse, who seemed to have expected her brother to ask such a question, immediately raised her face and looked at Eric with a challenging gaze."Eric, my engagement with him is just a matter of time. Then, what about you? You should already be married. But what's happening now? You don't even have a girlfriend and now you're telling me to get engaged?" Annelisse asked.Eric chuckled when asked back like that. "Hey, we were talking about your relationship, about my love affairs. Why are you bringing it up now?"Annelisse shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, "Oh, of course we have to talk about it because mom and dad really want you to get married. So, instead of you talking about my relationship with Jack which is now clear and it's just a matter of time before it's official, let's talk about your own relationship."Eric snorted and immediately got up and stuck out his tongue like a typical child when he wouldn't obey the orders of his parents."I'm not in the mood to discuss it and
Garric suddenly realized that even if he exploded in anger right now, he probably wouldn't get anything. He already knew his parents too well and he wasn't sure if his parents would actually listen to him.He had lived from childhood with his parents educating him in that way so this time he tried to hold himself back from letting loose even though he was already too tired.However, he still hadn't found a way to get out of that vicious circle so inevitably the young man ended up trying to keep his head down to his parents to stay in his comfort zone.Garric raised his head slowly and replied, "Jack is not a snot-nosed boy like you said, Father. He is very cunning and he seems to know my weaknesses. But, Dad. Mom, you two don't need to worry because I won't give up so easily.""This is just the first step and this failure doesn't mean we will lose the next step. Mom, you know me very well and you know that I am not one to give my enemies what they want," Garric explained the matter a
"Yes, Grandpa. Whatever you want I will do," Jack said in such a gentle tone that his grandfather smiled back. The two then chatted for a while before they finally returned to their respective rooms and rested their bodies. However, that was not the case for Gideon Miles who was currently awaiting the arrival of George, Jack Morland's personal bodyguard who had just returned from his duties of checking the surrounding area. "George, how are things around this house?" Gideon asked when the young man had entered his private room. George quickly replied, "I found no signs of movement from Mr. Garric's family guards, sir. It seems that they have completely retreated and are not watching the area around this house."Gideon nodded his head and looked relieved but he then said, "You should tighten things up even more. Don't let the young master be alone or even if he wants to be alone you should keep a guard not too far away from him.""Yes, sir."Gideon asked again, "Is it true that onl
However, it was unexpected. George wasn't scared or distressed by the words of his coworker who had worked for the Morland family.Instead, George laughed out loud as if laughing at Damian's words.Damian glared in exasperation and with the overwhelming anger he felt he said, "You dare laugh at me? Are you really tired of living?"George stopped laughing and now glared back at his senior. "I have to stay alive because it's to repay all that Mr. Hugh has done for me. And ... earlier you said that you seemed to have the power to get rid of me. If I may ask you, who are you and do you have the right to throw me out of this house when the owner of this house entrusted me with such a great thing?"Damian gritted his teeth as he could no longer contain his anger. Without another word, Demian punched George right on his lower lip, causing an injury. George once again laughed until Damian could no longer contain his annoyance anymore and then he attacked his junior again with a little bruta
Feeling misspoken, Damian did not reply to his friend's words. Ralph shook his head in disbelief at Damian's words. "I didn't realize that's what you've been thinking about me all this time."Not wanting to talk to his friend anymore, Ralph moved backwards and then before he decided to leave the park, he took the time to say, "You have too much hatred for people who have much better success than you.""But ... trust me, Damian. It will only make you more unable to use or develop those abilities of yours. You'll only think about other people's abilities that you shouldn't have to."Ralph paused for a moment before continuing, "However, if that is the path you choose, then go ahead and follow your emotions and be prepared if one day you will regret all your actions including when you accuse those around you of getting what they want not because of their abilities."After saying that, Ralph left the area and left Damian alone to think. Unfortunately, Ralph's words did not succeed in ma
Hey, calm down, Ralph, what's going on with you?" "We were just talking casually, why do you look so emotional?"Someone else also responded, "But, I'm really wondering. Who exactly is your best friend? Why do you seem to be defending George? Aren't you friends with Damian?""Oh, that's right. Are you not friends with Damian anymore or what?"These questions made Ralph feel even more irritated. He actually hated it when his personal business was interfered with by others. Especially when it came to his friendship with other bodyguards. He just wanted to work as a bodyguard comfortably and not have to worry about things outside of that but in fact they had upset him just because he expressed his opinion about what they had done. Ralph stood up from his chair and said, "The words I said to you had nothing to do with my friendship with Damian or George. What I am surprised about is that you are all seniors and you are bodyguards who have been in this world for a long time. You have b
"Yes, why, do you have a problem with that?" Jack asked his personal bodyguard with a serious look.George stammered back, "No, Young Master. I certainly don't have a problem with it."George had never thought anything of the young master, he was just a little surprised at Jack Morland's sudden action.Jack suddenly smiled to overcome the awkwardness between him and his personal bodyguard. "Hey, you don't have to be so tense!" Jack said in a much more relaxed tone compared to before. Jack then added while leaning back on the chair, "George, I'll really inherit everything from the Morland family one day. And when that time comes, I must be able to manage everything. Not just the company but also other things, like managing the bodyguards who serve the family."Indeed, after the official announcement of the only grandson of Hugh Morland who became the sole heir in the Morland family, Jack only managed the entire company, both subsidiaries and core companies such as the Morland Group.
However, George could not choose anything else because it was already an order from the young master that he could not refute.He had memorized how the master easily gave orders that could not be changed or canceled."Well, I'd better tell them now. Instead of them finding out too late and thinking things that aren't," George muttered and he quickly took out his cell phone that was in his pocket. Before he contacted the bodyguards working in the house, he ordered some of the bodyguards to protect his young master while he was carrying out his young master's other duties. After the bodyguards were in their respective positions to watch and guard Jack Morland, George moved to get out of the way. He then immediately contacted one of the people he knew, although he wasn't too familiar. "Hello, Chris. Aren't you going anywhere yet?" George asked the man. "No, what's up? Does the young master need any more help?" Chris asked from the other side. George could have simply made an announ
However, in reality Jack Morland let Eric Goldman into Alex Blake's house.He also ordered his personal bodyguard to arrange that no CCTV cameras would capture Eric's movements.As soon as Eric entered the secret area, he immediately conveyed his sister's anxiety.The young man also said his idea and it was very well received by Jack Morland."Jack, I know it might be very dangerous but it would be much better if you showed up in the near future at the signing of a major collaboration that Gideon Miles will soon be doing," Eric said.Alex quickly responded, "I'd like that too since we have absolutely no idea what's really in Gideon Miles' brain."Jack Morland seemed to be in serious thought but after he deliberated he finally decided to say, "Well, I guess I can't wait any longer to punish the man who dared to kill my grandfather."Eric nodded with relief and responded, "My family is ready to help you fully and never doubt us if you need other help."Jack nodded and then said quietly,
Eric was eager to find the car but when he remembered that he had something much more important to do, he chose to let the car go.He then ordered, "Well, we'd better go straight to lawyer Jack Morland's house."Ray and Denis quickly followed suit and carried out their young master's orders. Just a few minutes later they arrived at a house that appeared to have been left unguarded by bodyguards. Ray looked at the house suspiciously while Denis, who already knew that people were hiding in a room, immediately asked the young master, "Young Master, what should we do now?"Eric remembered his brother's message and immediately waited until the sun had set. "Are you sure we should wait here until it gets dark, Young Master?" Ray asked very cautiously. "Yes, we have to be more careful because if we make a mistake we might not be able to find them. And ... what's even worse is that we could let Gideon Miles know where they're hiding," Eric explained and it was understood by his two bodygu
However, before they had a chance to discuss the matter further they were surprised by the arrival of the two main bodyguards whose duty it was to always guard Gideon Miles wherever he was.They of course chose to immediately shut their mouths so as not to make the bodyguards suspicious. One of them looked suspiciously at the servants and other bodyguards who had suddenly fallen silent. "Hey, what's going on here? Why are you all acting weird?" Sean, the 30-something year old bodyguard asked. One of the brave servants replied, "Nothing important is going on here, sir. It's just that we were surprised by the arrival of the two main bodyguards of Mr. Miles.""Didn't you two accompany Mr. Miles all the way down to this floor?" the waiter asked trying to remain calm. Sean snorted and then he waved his hand, "Never mind, it's because we were resting for a while before we escorted Mr. Miles to go check on something."Of course it actually made the bodyguards and servants curious especia
"That is indeed the case, Mr. Miles. Young Master Garric didn't look angry at all," the gatekeeper explained of the Morland house once again. He didn't hide anything and explain it clearly in order to make Gideon understand the situation. He tried to not to make Gideon feel that he didn't do his job. Gideon still had a hard time believing that but when he asked one of the guards to show him the CCTV footage at the main gate, the man finally believed it. It was so clear in the CCTV footage that Garric Morland did not even get out of the car. Garric was only in his car and asked his driver to meet the gate guard to ask for permission to enter. That only lasted for a few minutes so Gideon was even more astonished by the change that was so obvious to his eyes. After the guards left his room, Gideon thought more seriously. "What really happened to that young man? Does he really not want the Morland family fortune anymore? But, how could that be? He's not a young man who
Annelisse Goldman thought for a moment but when she considered her elder brother's idea, she finally tried to accept it. She hoped what she decided wouldn't make her regrets anything."Then, how are you going to get there?" Annelisse asked her brother. Eric smiled and replied, "You don't have to think about it and you just have to wait for the results."Annelisse nodded her head and tried to completely leave the matter to her brother. She trusted her brother so much and she hoped he could warn Jack about the dangerous Gideon Miles. Meanwhile, Garric Morland had just discussed Jack's problem with his father and then he chose to go to the Morland family home.He thought the only way to get Gideon to confess about what he had done was to press him further and harass him. Because, he had mobilised so many bodyguards to search for Jack's whereabouts but he still couldn't find his cousin's whereabouts. He was not desperate but he just wanted to try to take one of the easiest ways by a
Jack Morland quickly calmed the girl down by saying, "Anne, you don't have to worry about this."Annelisse Goldman widened her eyes when she heard Jack say that, "Jack, are you serious? You really don't suspect them at all?"Jack shook his head and he stopped walking and smiled at the girl, "Anne, I knew them long before they knew my true identity. I know their characters well and of course I can easily trust them."Jack stopped talking for a moment and then continued, "If the two of them were indeed unfaithful to me, they would have done something like this long before my grandfather died. In fact, I would have needed to force them to move to the positions they got.""You know ... they didn't even want to do it but because I persuaded them, they finally did. With something like this, I can tell right away that they might need a much higher position but they wouldn't want to get it the wrong way round," Jack explained at length about his argument. Annelisse couldn't help but be reli
Gideon smiled widely when he heard Alex's words. "You're right. Right now I'm the only person he can trust so I know all the decisions Young Master Morland has made must have been well thought out," Gideon argued and laughed.George could hardly bear to be in that room so he gave Alex the code for them to leave the office immediately. However, before that could happen Alex said, "Mr. Miles, before I leave I would like to ask you something."Gideon, who was in a good mood, nodded, "Yes, just say the word, Mr. Blake.""The Young Master wants you to organise a meeting where you will preside over the meeting so that all the important officials in this company know about the order given by Young Master Morland. Can you do it, Mr. Miles?" Alex asked carefully as this was the last order from the young master before they would actually face the master plan of their young master. "Yes, you don't need to worry about it at all. It's easy to do and I will do it in the near future," Gideon quic
As had evidently been expected by their young master, Gideon Miles did ask about the young master's whereabouts. With great calm and composure, George again replied, "I apologise to you, Mr. Miles. For this matter I cannot say."Gideon Miles looked both disappointed and very upset but the man tried to keep a friendly smile on his face and it looked like a forced one. Alex Blake was extremely happy that he managed to make the man upset. "Gideon, you don't need to feel upset because after all this is what Young Master Morland wanted. Wouldn't you also be happy if the young master could win himself back and then be able to return to this company again with a healed mentality?" Alex asked the man with a smile. Gideon chuckled when he heard that and immediately responded, "Oh, of course. I would be happiest if young Master Morland could return to his old self and start running the company as instructed by Master Hugh."Alex was truly amazed and appreciated the acting shown by Gideon Mi
Richard Foster confidently shook his head, "Young Master Morland, even if I could get a much better position than what I have now, I would never be able to stand my ground when I got it the wrong way round."He sighed and continued, "I've gone through so much and fought so hard to get to the position I'm in now, I'm not going to throw away my efforts that I've worked so hard for to get an instant position.""I can never be proud of that," Richard ended his explanation and it made Jack smile at the middle-aged man. He was so relieved to hear that and he even thought that he never regretted choosing the general division back then. "Thank you for being loyal to my family and ... not taking advantage of my difficult position," Jack said quietly to the middle-aged man. They talked about a few things next and finally Jack said to Richard, "If I need your help, would you be willing to help me?""Of course, Young Master. Whatever you need and want, I will definitely try to do it for you,"
