The Formidable Luthan King Is Back Chapter 13
“Let's talk in my office,” Luthan said as his brother's voice faded off in the distance. Jordan's eyes brightened as he realized that Luthan was considering his proposal.“I'm going to cut to the chase,” Luthan said when they were in his office. “I'll accept your proposal,” he continued before the smile could settle on Jordan's face. “But I'll need your cooperation on a little something before we get things signed.”“What's that Mr. Luthan?” Jordan asked eagerly.“I need you to buy a company for me,” Luthan said. He adjusted on his seat and placed a hand under chin.“But Mr. Luthan, you buy companies on a daily basis.” Jordan said, obviously confused. “I want to buy a company but I don't want them to know that they have sold it to me,” Luthan said.“Ah,” Jordan's eyebrows rose slightly. “I see.”“I'll handle all the costs of the entire deal all I need from you is the signature of the owner of that company on the document. Do you think you are up to it?”“Of course,” Jordan Reigns smi

“No way,” Camille laughed but the laugh came out more bitter than she expected and she pressed a hand over her mouth to stiffle the emotions.The woman who turned to look at her looked nothing like the Mary Lynn she knew. The woman who had had a face like a Barbie doll that was brought too close to a fire was unrecognizable from the face she looked into now.Gorgeous long lashes framed baby blue eyes. A button nose sat regally in the center of her face. Soft pink lips rested below it, stretched as though they were made for smiling. Her black hair fell in black, shiny, soft waves that framed her heart shaped face.“No way!” Camille barked out with laughter as Kimberly joined her. “The ugly duckling got a makeover!”Camille was glad to see that the smile was wiped of Mary Lynn’s face.“I didn't even realize that it was her,” Kimberly said, voice soft with surprise. “How did you know?”Camille could tell that Kimberly was getting swayed by the fact that Luthan had spent such money at her

The two women stood confused as the manager packed up their purchases and handed the many bags over to Mary Lynn. Camille was about to protest, wondering why the manager was handing their purchases over to Mary but they soon realized when Mary held the bags out to them.“Thank you so much for your patronage,” Mary said in her sweet, polite voice. “Would you like someone to help you take your shopping bags to your cars. We reserve only the finest treatment for our best customers as you must know.”Kimberly was stunned, she stood silent, confused. Camille's scoffed. “Hold on,” she said. “You work here? I really overestimated you. What, is the lottery money all gone? Or has Luthan gotten tired of spending on you? You got too comfortable with all that money he wasted on you and now find yourself working in customer service huh?”Mary Lynn shook her head slowly. She handed the bags to the sales persons nearby. “Actually, this is my store.”A simple sentence stunned so many people into sil

While the Carter family were convincing themselves that they had everything under control, the King family already believed that they didn't just have the upper hand but that they were way ahead of Luthan King.Camille was surprised that Arthur did not say anything about the money she splurged in Mary Lynn's shop but it was not enough to get her feeling even remotely happy. She was pissed for over a week replaying the incident that had happened in that mall. It was like adding salt to injury when she discovered that it wasn't just the store that belonged to Mary Lynn but the entire mall.It was extremely annoying because she did most of her shopping at that mall, finding out now that Mary Lynn had bought the store, or rather that the store had been bought for her made Camille want to throw out everything she ever bought from there. Set it all ablaze even.Her emotions were not felt by Arthur and Anthony because both were extremely excited about the deal that they had recently received

“So what's the next step of the plan?” Jordan Reigns asked after he had successfully delivered the good news.“Don't worry about it,” Luthan assured him. “The shipment is yet to arrive after all. I’ll reach out to you when I have more for you to do.”Jordan couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the Kings. They had no idea what was coming for them and they were certainly not ready to face it.***Camille met Mrs. Lynn at the mall. The two women were not friends and on a regular day Camille would have walked past the older woman but today was different. She grinned and chatted with the older woman as though they were best friends and Mrs. Lynn did the same as well.They were seated in a fancy cafe sipping their complicated coffee orders every once in a while and Camille wasted no time to spill all the recent development to the older woman.“She owns a full mall, she owns one of my favorite stores inside the mall. She's always wearing the finest clothes and her jewelry are always gol

“That was fantastic,” the eldest son of the Lynn family said as he clinked his glasses with Mrs. Lynn. “Mother that was fantastic, this is genius.”Right as they were drinking wine and celebrating, Luthan had been contacted and a ransom massage had been sent to him. He was cooperating.“He didn't even hesitate, just asked for what we wanted and how we wanted it delivered.” The young man said. “Now I'm thinking that we should've requested for more.”“Like I said son, this could be an easy job but only if we don't get too greedy.”The doorbell interrupted her when she was going to further enlighten her son with words of wisdom.The housekeeper opened the door and soon walked into the room where they were celebrating.“Ma’am, a few policemen are at the door and they would like to see you.”Immediately her heart leapt to her mouth. It couldn't be Luthan could it? Their plan was full proof.“How may I help you officers?” She gave the uniformed men at the door a wide, pleasant, motherly smi

The entire Carter family were having breakfast together on Lionel's orders. The patriarch did this from time to time, he used the opportunity when they were all together to discuss business strategies as a family and praise one person or the other in a way that made others feel worthless. No doubt he believed that it made them stronger and made them want to challenge each other. Actually, what it did for so many years was just pit the children against each other. After so many years they were over it. They knew the tricks and they collectively ignored their grandfather's manipulative words.Actually, Kimberly was the grandchild who suffered this the least because she was his favorite when she was younger. She was allowed to do whatever she wanted and often got away with it but now that she grew older and actually wanted to carve a path for herself in the family business her father begun to treat her more like he treated her brothers. Luckily her brothers didn't hold a grudge and did n

Kimberly was well dressed. The right amount of classy that would allow her to blend in with the guests without looking underdressed.She hadn't said anything to her family about the fundraiser and had been hidden away the one invitation that had been mailed to her grandfather. She wanted to have full access to observe Luthan King.He showed up without Mary Lynn on his arm which got Kimberly curious since he always make sure it showed just how much he cared for her and wanted her to be happy. It could either mean that he didn't feel a need to bring her with him to this event which would make Kimberly very happy or it could also mean that he didn't want to bring her. Kimberly knew that she would definitely be happy to see that. Even though she was cautious about her family making money by partnering with Luthan King she was more than happy to hear of his misfortunes or the misfortunes of that ugly hag Mary Lynn.She watched Luthan all night. He barely ever smiled. Kimberly knew that whe

Camille didn’t say anything just yet. She looked straight at him and thought about what expression would be best to tackle this situation.“What I want to know is why you have targeted two members of my family,” David looked down at her. “What is it that you want from my family Camille?”“I don’t know what you want from me,” Camille began, finally settling on a blank expression. “I’m sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting to make some huge discovery but-”“Do you have anything to do with the amount of money that the Carter family just lost?”Although he interrupted her, the question did not take her by surprise, luckily. She was prepared for him to ask her something like that so she furrowed her brows at just the right moment and there was no way that he could get anything from her expression.“I might be a dumb bimbo according to you,” she finally said after looking confused for an adequate amount of time and shaking her head as though to shake away the confusion. “But even I

The wait until they could get their hands on the money was excruciating. According to Arthur, the guy who did the entire technical job to get them the money dictated how and when the money would be available for them to use. Camille chose not to ask questions because she got to face Kimberly everyday and she was afraid that she was going to slip up and spill something if she knew too much.When the money finally got into his hands he behaved so normaly that Camille would not have been able to tell that he recently got so much money if he hadn’t told her himself.“Don’t tell anyone,” he had insisted. “We have to keep everything on the down low so that the Carters would not be suspicious of us.”“But you have to give Jordan Reigns his money soon enough or he’s going to take away the family company.”“We can wait just until we have to give him the money.”Camille nodded along to his plan, happy that the money was available at least. She could now save her worry for other important things

By the time Kimberly came downstairs Camille had already hurriedly set the table and pretended as though she had taken her time with the process.“Took you long enough,” she said.“Sorry, I had some sudden and important calls that I had to make,” Kimberly apologized. “Hope I didn’t keep you long?”“It’s fine,” Kimberly said. “I had my phone with me.”Camille kept having serious anxiety about what had just happened. Her mind kept playing a scene in her head where Kimberly came downstairs while she was in the closet with Alexander and saw all that was happening on her computer then hurried upstairs afterwards to keep the charade. She comforted herself by reminding herself that someone like Kimberly Carter would not pretend for any reason if she found something like that out. She would’ve directly walked to the closet and dragged Camille out of it by her hair and since that never happened, she was safe.They ate the meal they had made and discussed. This time Alexander was not invited to

In less than two weeks Arthur would have to deliver on the deal he made with Jordan Reigns. Tensions were high and Camille was proud of Arthur for keeping his cool in spite of what was going on. She had actually decided that if he couldn’t raise the money on his own until the last minute she would support him. Thanks to Luthan’s money, she had enough to spare. But she was going to hold out until the last minute because she didn’t want Arthur or Anthony to know that she had that much money at her disposal because as much as she loved being taken care of, she knew trouble when she saw it and no amount of love will make up for security. Having money to save herself and her children should the tides turn —or rather, should the situation get worse— was something that could not be compromised on.While they waited for the big day, the day when they could finally carry out the plan to take from the Carter family, Camille knew that she had to get some information to give to Kimberly. She met

Camille turned around, frightened. It was one of Camille’s brothers. She thought quickly and immediately brought her hand to her chest to explain her reaction. “Gosh, you scared me.”He looked at her suspiciously. “I don’t think we’ve met and it seems you were looking for something?” he ended it like a question.“Yes,” Camille said, fixing her hair casually. “The bathroom.”He looked at her, gaze unwavering. “I don’t think we’ve met.” He said.“We have but you probably won't remember me because I was not the most important person in the room.”“I doubt that I would forget seeing someone like you,” he blurted and there was silence for a few seconds as they both processed his unplanned words. His ears reddened and he coughed and Camille immediately recognized an opportunity. She wasn’t getting into trouble this time. She quickly regained her confidence and slipped a strand of her hair behind her ear.“I was at your grandfather’s birthday,” she said.“Ah,” the man muttered. “I see.” His

Camille wore her absolute best on the day she went to see Kimberly. She didn’t want to appear broke and shabby, of course, so she secretly went shopping. She bought the latest clothes and new shoes, bags, make up and jewelries. She felt the exact same way she did when they had so much money and none of the debts they had now. Now that she thought about it, they were riding on Luthan’s money then and she was still dressed in Luthan’s money now. She was not one bit ashamed, especially after she got such a surprised stare from Kimberly.Kimberly came to meet her at the door after the maid let her in. Her eyes widened into saucers but she quickly got her expression under control. She must have gotten used to seeing Camille in clothes that were not quite the latest fashion styles among ladies of class.“You look fantastic Camille,” Kimberly said, giving her a quick hug and an air kiss. “Is that Carla Ortega you’re wearing?”Camille spun around to give Kimberly a good look at her entire out

“Where the hell have you been?” Anthony crossed his arms, he had not yet recovered the body weight he lost in jail so he didn’t look as intimidating as he usually did but Camille knew that Arthur had to be terrified. She was scared herself.“I’ve been out of town looking for the money to pay the Reigns so we can get our company back.”“And how did that go?” Anthony asked.“I got seventeen million dollars,” Arthur said. His stance looked very confident and that was an impressive amount. Camille would’ve been more impressed if she wasn’t entitled to half a billion dollars as Luthan King’s ex wife. So much had changed since Luthan got back from prison to the point that Arthur coming home with seventeen million dollars in a matter of days is considered not so impressive. Perhaps that was the influence of a billionaire on them, now even their problems come in hundreds of millions of dollars.“And where, pray tell, did you get that amount of money from?” Anthony said looking thoroughly unco

“Luthan?” Came the voice through the phone.Of all the people, of course it had to be Camille. If he had looked at the caller ID he wouldn’t have picked up the phone. He’d have told Mary Lynn that the call was not important because it really wasn’t.“What is it?” he asked as he went up the stairs.“No need to speak with that tone,” Camille’s voice came from the other end of the line. “I’ve got good news.”Any news at this point would seem like terrible news. A lot of angry words circled through his brain but he inhaled deeply and said only one word, “shoot.”“I got invited to the Carter house, it’s insane!”“It’s your job,” he deadpanned. “It’s what you were supposed to do in the first place.”“I don’t remember you paying me for it,” she grumbled, “now you’re calling it a job.” “How about you give me some results, then we’ll think about it.” Luthan said. That clearly made her happy.“Now if you don’t have anything else to say,” he said then hung up as soon as he was sure that that wa

Luthan stood and watched as her car drove into the distance. The sun was setting and he had to return home soon. He didn’t really come all this way just for a meeting with Camille. He had something to discuss with someone important concerning his business and since Camille had insisted on seeing him today he figured that he could use that to his advantage.“Sir, shall I get the car ready?” The butler, Matthew, asked. “Miss Mary Lynn should be returning home soon.”“Yes, please.”Matthew nodded and walked away. After a while, he returned to let Luthan know that the car was ready.“Mr. King, I hope you don’t mind me asking but why did you offer her so much money?” The Butler asked. “She cheated on you, helped steal all of your assets and properties and pretty much left you for dead.” Matthew had worked for Stanley Flair until the man passed away so Luthan Knew that he could trust him. “Matthew, have you ever wanted to get something really bad but found out that it was far beyond your
