“Is something wrong with your eyes? Can you not see well? Because it doesn’t look like you can! Do you know how much I got this pant? I had it specially flown in from abroad but it ends up being ruined by a server? Gosh, this is annoying!” “I’m sorry, sir. I’m really sorry, sir. It was not mh intention to spill the source on you. Please forgive me.” Chloe rushed out of thr elevator after being called by the server and her breath hitched worriedly when she saw a server standing beside a table with her eyes lowered to the floor apologetically. But that wasn’t what made her worried. What made her worried was the fact the voice of the man she heard sounded extremely familiar. It sounded too much like that of…“Lewis, don’t take it out on the poor server. If not for anything, but she isn’t the one at fault. We should blame the person in charge of training the servers for the mistake she made.” Chloe’s eyes shifted to the beautiful lady beside him who had spoken. She sat opposite Lewis
The server had heard Lewis introduce himself. So even though she agreed with Chloe that he is as indeed disrupting the peace of the other customers, she was hesitant to call the security. The William had somehow gotten the favor of Josiah Haworth of Astoria Corporation which made them become a first tier family in such a short time. They were the top family in Springdale at the moment which everyone wanted to cooperate with. She pursed he lips tightly and asked worriedly, "Ms. William, are you sure?" Lewis scoffed in disbelief, leaned backward and folded her arms around his chest. "Yes, are you sure? You do know I'm not the same person you knew some months ago. The person standing in front of you isn't the Lewis William who cowered in front of you." "The person standing in front of you is a member of the highly esteemed William family. Not just a mere member, but the one who'll helm it in the future." Chloe clenched her fist tightly, gulping down nervously. Sh"I know exactly w
"What is going on here? Ms. Chloe, what is going on here?" Chloe clenched her jaw tightly when she heard Ann's voice behind her. Ann walked past her and stopped a meter away from her. Lewis noticed she was dressed formally and like a staff of the hotel. He met her eyes and looked away whilst snorting heavily."Are you the supervisor around here? You need to keep these servers in check. I'm already doing the hotel a huge favour coming to pay and eat here. Do you know how many hotels have invited me to dine in their hotels for free? Gosh, this is annoying!"Ann's eyes quickly swept around his body as she took notice of the luxury goods he decked himself in. From the brand of his clothes down to his expensive shoes. "Don't be like that, sir. Pearl Hotel is glad to have you dine with us. I don't know what happened here, but we can't afford to lose such a valuable customer. Tell me what they did so I can take action."Lewis huffed haughtily, still looking away from her. He seemed disin
Ann went upstairs immediately Chloe had the security throw out Lewis and recounted what happened downstairs to the other staff, incessantly reminding them that the William family wasn't one to be trifled with.As a result, most of them panicked and stormed into Chloe's room when she came upstairs."How could you throw out Lewis William? Do you know how much influence the William family now have in Springdale?""Do you think the chairman would be pleased at how you turned a fast-rising family who would've been one of his customers into an enemy?""Wait, did you do that because you're cousins with Lewis William?""Cousins? Hmph! As if! Chloe William and her family have long been removed from the family registrar of the William family. They are no longer members of the William family!""There are rumors that Lewis William has a hand in why it happened. Could that be why she chose to humiliate him in front of so many people today?"Ann watched with folded hands and gleeful eyes as they la
In the evening when Ethan came to pick up Chloe, he noticed how absentminded she was.On their drive to the house, Honey excitedly tugged at the corners of her clothes.“Mommy, Honey learnt a lot at school today. The lesson teacher was very patient with us. I want to go to more lessons!”“Honey learnt so many things, do you want to hear some?”No response from Chloe.“Mommy? Do you hear me, Mommy?” Honey pouted childishly, seeing how silent Chloe was and tugged her clothes even harder.Chloe snapped out of her thoughts and lowered her eyes to her little girl who was looking up at her with glossy eyes.She feigned a smile and reached out to touch Honey’s hair.“Mommy is very tired and daddy is driving. We wouldn’t want to distract daddy from driving, do we? No. So tell me about what you learnt at lesson when we get back home, okay?”Honey was easily fooled by the false smile and nodded eagerly. She was silent for the rest of the ride.They soon got to the house and Ethan parked the Jes
When she saw the tears on Chloe's face, Honey tried to wipe it off with her hands but the tears kept pouring down even heavily. Frustrated and having no idea what was wrong and what to do, Honey also burst into tears. But she didn't stop trying to wipe off the tears on Chloe's face as she said amidst tears, "Stop crying, Mommy. You're making Honey cry too." "Hmm, who said mommy was crying? My eyelashes just caught a speck of dust in my eyes. It was hurting me." Chloe sniffled, dropping Honey on her bed and wiping off her tears with the back of her hands. "But your eyes are all red." Honey refused to believe, crying even harder. Honey clenched her jaw tightly and lowered herselt to the bed as well. Then she turned Honey to her and gently massaged the top of her head. "When there's a speck of dust caught in your eyes, it tends to make your eyes red. It also makes you cry. So I really wasn't crying. It was just the dust." "Really?" Honey raised her eyes to look into Chloe's face.
Adam William returned to Stellar Corporation enraged.Lewis and members of the William family were standing in the reception anxiously waiting for him. When they saw him walk in, they quickly rushed to him.However, their bodies tensed when they saw the angry look in his eyes."You were right. That ungrateful brat refused my offer! How dare she turn me down and even say she doesn't wish to be part of the William family again? Does she think I'll grovel and beg her to come back just because I need her help!"Everyone retreated to their previous positions, visibly scared of how frightening he looked.Lewis waited for some time to pass before he strutted towards him and cautiously asked, "What happened, grandfather? Did Chloe turn you away?"Adam rubbed his eyes roughly with his fingers before huffing. "She did. She even said she doesn't want to be a part of the William family in the future. She didn't look remorseful for what she did to you. Call Chairman Haworth. I'll personally talk t
"Don't touch that!""Drop it! I said to drop it!""No! Not that one! Stop!""Tell them to drop it. Tell him to drop it! Stop it!"Everyone kept yelling at the people from the bank as they carted away with anything and everything that looked valuable.Even the security couldn't stop them as they too came with their own security. At the end of the day, they stood in the middle of the now empty reception.The people from the bank had taken everything valuable and sturdy. Even chairs, desks, cushions, and tables weren't left out. The ones they left behind were the ones which had a crack or two on it."Grandfather, is this even legal? Can they really do this to us? Why aren't we doing anything to stop them from leaving?" Lewis asked all at once, terribly upset as he watched the men leave.Adam William briskly walked to Lewis, grabbed him by the shoulder, turned him around to face him, then raised his hand and smacked him hard across the face."Grandfather, what was that for?" Lewis gasped
