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, 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,
The front part of Luxen Restaurant was crowded with at least a dozen journalists who were covering an exclusive story that night. The one who caught their attention was of course none other than Tobias Gray, a handsome 20-year-old young man, who was also the only son of one of the richest businessmen in Ocean Hill, Raymond Gray. Tobias was now in the VVIP room of the restaurant and was professing his love to a beautiful girl who also came from the same circle as him, Lily Osborne.Luxen Restaurant was one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city and only people who had a certain type of card could enjoy a meal in that magnificent place.Aside from the place being so amazing with a touch of classic mixed with modern, the restaurant served a variety of dishes that were also so luxurious and of course have a very high taste. In fact, it was said that the chefs at the restaurant were selected chefs who used to have a lot of experience. It's no wonder that only certain people were a
Not wanting to waste any time, Jack quickly reached into his pocket and looked at the contents of his wallet. He could only let out a long sigh. Someone who was often referred to as a sewer rat was really very poor.In his bulky wallet, he even only had $10 left. That was clearly not enough to get him to Lily Osborne's house by taxi. He needed at least $15 to get to Lily's house.So, Jack reluctantly chose to walk faster to Lily's residence located in The DownGrow House, a very famous elite neighbourhood in Ocean Hill.However, he had only been walking for a short while when his stomach started to rumble. He touched his stomach and tried to stifle his hunger.That day he had only eaten the chocolate bread that the college provided for free for breakfast and in the afternoon he had only taken a slice of pizza brought by her dorm mate.Of course he was very hungry at the time. But, he was thinking of raising more money so that he could take Lily Osborne out to eat at a nice restaurant o
Feeling so humiliated and very sad, Jack finally chose to immediately leave the Osborne family residence. He had fully realized that he would never be able to get Lily again. His opponent was Tobias Gray who was not only handsome but also extremely rich. His charm was so strong that even Lily was mesmerised by him. Besides, Lily really didn't want him anymore. There was no other reason for him to keep Lily. Lily had become his ex-girlfriend now.With a broken heart, Jack walked while enduring the hunger pangs that plagued him. However, just as he walked not too far away, he was surprised by a police car that stopped right near him.Two policemen got out of the car and walked towards him, "Jack Morland, you are under arrest. Please come with us to the police station."One of the policemen had grabbed his hand and was about to handcuff him.Jack widened his eyes, "Wait a minute. What did I do wrong, sir? I didn't do anything."The young man looked confused at one of the policemen who h
"Sir, I still find it hard to believe." Jack said very honestly.Hugh immediately smiled gently at Jack. "I understand. It's not easy for you to believe, but it's the truth. You are my grandson, my only grandson, Jack."Hugh added, "You are the heir to the Morland family business empire."Heir to the business empire? Him? Someone who was often referred to as a loser? How could that be?Jack, whose head was already filled with questions, asked, "What exactly happened, sir? If I'm your grandson, why did you let me live alone in the orphanage?"Of course, that was what confused Jack.Hugh wasn't surprised by the question and the old man immediately replied, "Jack, you've misunderstood, son. Let me explain first."More than ten years ago, Jack's father Joss and his mother Claire were taking Jack to a park not far from the Morland home. The park was not too crowded that day so Jack was left to play alone and unescorted in the centre of the park, while Joss and Claire were discussing Jack's
"Are you kidding me? How could I replace you?" Jack said with an expression that looked extremely confused.Hugh smiled gently. "Why is it impossible? How many times do I have to say it? You're the only heir to this family business empire, so of course you're my successor, Jack."After believing his status, Jack looked even more confused."But, Grandpa. I'm still a student." "So what if you're still a student? You can still run the family company while you study at university."Hugh paused for a moment, observing his grandson's expression. "And anyway, I heard you're majoring in business management. Isn't that a perfect fit?"Jack never expected it. "I'm majoring in it with the hope that after graduation, I'll be able to develop my own business."Hugh clapped for his grandson, "That's wonderful, Jack. That's a descendant of the Morland family."Jack grimaced. "But aren't I a little young to be running the family business, Grandpa? The Morland Group is huge.""You're capable, Jack. I a
Tobias Gray frowned again, "Vouchers? What's for?"Lily gave ex-lover Jack a dismissive look, "Oh, Toby. Look at those shoes! Maybe he'd like to get some new shoes."Lily's guess made Tobias burst out laughing. He gave Jack a sneering look, "Shoes? So, you want to buy shoes at my family's mall, loser?"Jack was still silent, waiting for Tobias' next words as if he knew Tobias still hadn't stopped talking."Don't you know what the minimum price of shoes at Gray Mall is?" Tobias said with a grin, "Oh, no. If I mention it, I'm afraid you'll faint.""Just tell me how much it is!" Jack replied still holding back. "No, you won't be able to afford it.""Let alone a pair, you won't be able to afford one," Tobias added with an increasingly annoying mocking smile."What if I can afford it?" Jack retorted in the end who couldn't help himself.Lily, who knew Jack was very poor and thought it was impossible for her ex-boyfriend to buy the shoes sold at Gray Mall, said, "Don't even try to dream, Ja
