Besides, even if he told Jaxson who he truly is, he doubts he will believe him. Jaxson had indirectly called him a pauper while he was talking seconds ago. How then will someone like that believe him if he told him such a thing? He will rather pass on that. He can't afford to waste his breath."You work here now? As what? Security? And did you say Miss Xavier hired you herself? Hahaha, who are you that Miss Xavier will personally attend to you? And who would dare go against Seth? You must still be joking with me, right?" Jaxson has an amused expression as he asks, seemingly as if he is confidently saying, who will hire a punk like you? Even our security you are not worth being! And who would dare defy Seth's order?Lucian can't bother continuing this conversation. He can see Jaxson is amongst those who hiddenly mock him. If not for the memory they shared in the past, he would have called up Yvonne and had her fire him! Jaxson's personality irks him. But for good old days, he will jus
"You are awake, Young Master Hutton," Chad stares through the rearview mirror and says, snapping Lucian out of his reverie.Lucian stiffens slightly as he is not used to being called Hutton but he quickly masks it and shrugs off nonchalantly. He believes he will become used to it someday. But definitely not today anyway. "As you can see, I am, old man. Lest I forget, I told you to wait for me because I want to discuss something with you.""I'm listening, Young Master. What might this important something be?" Chad responds respectfully and very politely, his head slightly bowed even though he is driving.He is so respectful! Lucian exclaims frantically in his head. Chad's respectful behavior is so hard for him to stomach. He is his elder yet he respects him so much! He is not so comfortable with it. But then, he knows this is not something he can talk Chad out of, he can only sigh helplessly and say, "I don't trust that young man that was taken to the hospital. No matter what, you sho
Lucian is a bit wary when he hears it's his father on the other end of the line. His reaction is quite understandable. Despite the fact that he is related to Michael Hutton, he has no single memory of him. He grew up without a father and had no idea what it was like to have a father until now.Furthermore, he has no idea what Michael looks like. What his personality is like, and whether or not he resembles him. However, he believes that for his father to recognize him with a single glance, perhaps he resembles him in some way. In the end, these are all his speculations and except proven, they can't be said to be true.He sighs heavily in his heart. He knows he can easily ask Chad to show him Michael's picture. But he just doesn't think he is ready yet.No matter what, it is still hard for him to accept that he has a father now. A wealthy one at that."Do I resemble my father?" He asks Chad, not just being able to curb his curiosity. Besides, there's no harm in asking, right?Chad, w
"Young Master Hutton! Young Master Hutton!" Chad yells out in panic. Without remembering that Michael is still on call with him, he abandons his phone and rushes out of the car. "Young Master Hutton! Young Master Hutton!" He keeps screaming at the top of his lungs.This scream of his attracts the attention of passersby. They all turn to the owner of the voice and suck in quick breaths when they see the figure standing looking so solemn and as if he wants to cry. "It's Mr. Chad Kennedy, the chief butler of the Hutton family!" One lady amidst the passersby exclaims with eyes wide in shock."It is really him!""Wow! I never thought I could see him in my life!""But why does he look so dejected? And who is this Young Master Hutton he keeps mentioning? Could he be the heir to the Hutton family?""What if he is?"Their hearts leap into their bellies and they immediately stare at the spot Chad is dejectedly gazing at but unfortunately, they see no one. Not even Lucian's silhouette.Somehow,
Meanwhile...Lucian keeps running with no iota of idea where he is going for more than an hour. His feet are now hurting from how far he has run, but he never stops moving because he suspects Chad is following him. Unbeknownst to Lucian, he had run so fast and covered so many meters that Chad was unable to catch up with him.The sky is darkening now. But Lucian is very much unconcerned. He continues to run and run. His clothes are now drenched in sweat, his breathing is labored, and his heart is pounding. His hair is not left out, as it is splattered across his flushed face, covering some parts of his eyes.After running for so long, he finally comes to a halt in front of a large stream. Is this a different county? He wonders as he tries to look around.But his eyes betray him as they can't fully open. After running for so many hours, he suddenly feels so exhausted. The fatigue from how long he ran, arguments and fights at Silverlight Microsoft Company, and the sudden discovery of h
This is his only child. His only son. The heir to the family. Michael's heart leaps into his stomach. "Please, son, do not do this to me! You are my only remaining family in this world! Do you want to kill me?!" He yells hysterically, unconcerned about suppressing his emotions. He had searched for Lucian for nineteen and now that he has finally found him, how can he let him slip from his grip?If anything happens to Lucian, he doubts he will live even a single day. The hope of finding Lucian had kept him going all these years. Michael, the great and powerful, is already sobbing from the other end."Your mother died a tragic death, Lucian. Her death is nothing to talk home about. It's too tragic. I just found you today. There was no how I was going to welcome you with such tragic news. I couldn't bear losing you again. Please forgive me, son. Forgive daddy. It took me so long to find you and you are the reason I'm still alive. You can't die, at least not now."Lucian can feel the sadn
The unknown girl is in tears and pleading with the duo not to hurt her. Lucian tenses at her words. No, it can't be what he is thinking, right?Lucian is still speculating on that when he catches onto another sound."Hmph! So what if you are a virgin, Helen? You are eighteen! A ripe adult! I've been pursuing you since you were seventeen! Then you told me you couldn't do it because you are underage. But even when you turned eighteen and I kept asking, you kept turning me down!"I've had enough of your bullshit! Since you didn't want to let me do it willingly, I've brought with me my best buddy. "Tonight, we will fuck your virgin pussy till you bleed out and die and still keep fucking your corpse till we get tired. Then we will discard your corpse into the stream and leave!"How uncouth! Lucian's nose is crinkled with so much disgust. How can they be so ruthless and vile to want to do this to such a young girl?They must have kidnapped her and driven all the way here to satisfy their lu
"You! Do I look like a joke to you?" Lucian glares menacingly at the young man. It's him. It's Dani. The mastermind behind all this. "Quickly get away from her and leave and I'll consider letting you off. If not, both of you will suffer greatly for your crimes. You can't afford to tempt me!"Mickey scoffs derisively. "Who are you that we can't afford to tempt you? Are you a cop? Of course not. Look at your shabby worn-out clothes and disheveled dirty hair! You are obviously a punk."Do you know who we are? You should be the one afraid of us! Leave now. You are getting me irritated. Trust me, I do drastic things when irritated. If you don't leave now, then don't blame me for being ruthless.""Since you two don't want to leave, then don't blame me for your misfortune!" Lucian retorts, unfazed by his threats."Mickey, stop wasting your breath and break that punk's bones! It's getting late. We need to do this and get out here.""Yes! You should blame yourself for this!" Mickey says coldly
