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
The thugs glanced at each other, hearing him, considering his words, but the leader of the thug who was flung backward got on his feet again and barked at them rashly."What do you think you're doing? Don't just stand there, kill those piece of shits!"The thugs hurriedly rushed towards Ethan, attacking him at the same time.However, they were just about to get close enough to stab him when they suddenly began flying through the air and landing roughly on their backs, their agonizing screams filling the whole area.Kane huffed irritably when he saw there was no one else left and walked towards one of them who was extremely bulked up, with muscles peeking out of the tight sweatshirt he was putting on.He stopped beside him and turned him over with his leg. The thug immediately recoiled when his eyes met his, and Kane's irritation only grew."Your performance was very disappointing. How many hours did you spend in the gym every day to build up your muscles?"However, the thug only crawl
Kane flexed his arms as he eagerly walked towards the group of bulky men rushing towards Ethan. The first person to reach him slashed his dagger towards his face, but he evaded it by dodging to the side. Then he grabbed the hand holding the dagger and twisted it, whilst delivering a kick to the chest of another person behind him. Kane wanted to make it a little fun for himself by beating them up seriously, but when he realized he had beaten them all of up and none of them were getting up, he hissed and rubbed his nose in frustration. The thugs were clutching their abdomens and rolling all over the floor. They were bawling their eyes out like babies as rhe pain from their broken wrists seeped into every nerve in their body. Kane looked away from them and settled his eyes on the man who had brought the group. Raising his brows, he questioned coldly, “Is this it? Or are there more coming.” Diego Cohen stared at the scene before him in shock. These men were the best he had. The bes
Chloe woke up groggily an hour earlier than she normally wakes up to Matilda’s shrill screaming coming from the living room. Honey’s teacher had sent Chloe a message just before she went to sleep last night saying Honey could to school between 8 and 9 that morning as the lesson for the upcoming competition was taking a toll on the children. Chloe checked the time to see it was an hour before 7 and sleepily got out of bed and hurriedly walked to Honey’s room. She heaved a relieved sign when she saw her little girl still fast asleep. She gently closed the door afterwards and went down the stairs to know why Matilda was trying to wake up the whole neighborhood.“Isn’t it too early to be shouting, mother?” Matilda was standing akimbo with her hands on her waist as she faced the staircase. Sitting in the dinning and drinking coffee while turning through the pages of the day’s newspaper was Scott. He refused to pay any attention to Matilda’s tantrum. “Yes, mother, I slept very late la
When he saw that they were all staring at him without moving a muscle, he scoffed and righteously warned them again. "I'll say it again, if you don't go upstairs and start packing your things before the time I gave you elapse, I'll have my men throw them out into the street." Scott couldn't take his insolent and spiteful words any longer. So he walked out of the dining and towards him. When he was just an inch away from him, he stared him in the eyes and spat out. "Hey, Lewis William, I know I haven't been the best uncle to you over the years, but that doesn't mean I'm not your uncle. And as your uncle, you should respect me no matter what!" Lewis stared back at him for some seconds before a throaty and mocking laughter erupted from his throat and filled the room. Then he proceeded to close the space between them by taking two steps forward and placed a hand on Scott's shoulder and snickered. "Best uncle to me? Do you think I need such nonsense? And respect? You want me to resp
