Rather, it was the news that Josiah Haworth had a personal relationship with this invisible family.Furthermore, the William family invited Josiah Haworth to the celebration party. After getting his word that he'd be coming, they stated it in the invitation.Just as Adam William speculated would happen, all the first and second-tier families he invited, all came when they saw Josiah Haworth's name in the invitation..Lewis William was standing in his sky-blue suit at the door of the William family house, greeting everyone who was about to enter the house.Ou

His boys followed instructions and dumped her on the space beside him."You're pretty. Really pretty. All this time, I thought people were exaggerating when they spoke of how good you look."The eyes of the loan shark man were filled with lust as he gazed at Chloe's pale but beautiful face."If you make me happy, I might even do you a favor and marry you, returning the glory you lost when you married your loser husband. So be a good girl and just enjoy this, okay?" He got jittery and excited, leaning forward to graze her collarbone with his coarse hands."Inhaler... bring... bring my inhaler," Chloe rasped, desperately fighting to keep her fluttering eyes open.However, the man was too engrossed in imagining how he'd look on top of her to move his ear closer to her mouth to hear what she was saying.Previously, he knew she'd resist and make it impossible for him to touch her if she was in her right senses. So he had his boys drug her until she was barely conscious.He even found it su

Ethan held Chloe's warm hands the whole time the doctor tended to her.After 20 minutes of examining and cross-examining her to be sure he didn't make a mistake, the doctor straightened up."Her vitals are all in perfect condition," Josiah Haworth said, standing behind Ethan in an expensive Italian suit. He didn't need to say who he was for the doctor to know he was someone of importance.However, the doctor wondered who the man such a big shot like Josiah Haworth was being so careful about."Are you sure she's okay? She bled a lot," Ethan sounded worried as he gazed at Chloe's pale face, a result of the enormous amount of blood she had lost the few minutes it took him to get her to his villa.Even though Ethan's voice sounded worried, it was extremely cold, without any warmth in it, making the doctor's heart skip a beat."I cross-examined her more than once just to be sure. She only bled so much because she cut an artery. However, I've stopped the bleeding. She'll be fine as long as

Daniel pointed the pipe at the man's eyes and stayed in that position for a long time before he stepped backward and threw the pipe away."All these big families do is look down on us. We do all the dirty work that could soil their names and still take the blame if caught for them. Yet, they don't even care if we live or die. Once you get caught by the police, you can end up rotting in jail for more than thirty years or even die in there.""Over time, you'll be replaced by them. They won't even remember someone like you exists after a few weeks. To them, it's just business. They pay you to take the fall; you take the money and get lost." "Is that the life you want to keep living? Yes, you own millions of naira in assets, drive around in luxurious cars, eat whatever you want, and party as much as you want, but that can change in just a minute if a detective cracks down on your dealings and finds out you committed a crime that wasn't properly covered."Your luxurious life will come to

Kane was releasing a frightening aura that could be felt by everyone present. Shivers ran down their spines, and none could muster enough courage to ask him who he was. Kane felt the blunt edge of the wood for a moment before raised his eyes to look at them.He pinned it on the two bosses who had come for Daniel's head and asked coldly, "Someone talked bad about the Commander. Was it you? Or was it you? Or was it both of you?""You rascal, have you no respect? We're old enough to be your father!"Although scared by his frightening aura, the man with the goatee snorted when he realized Kane wasn't putting on anything luxurious. He only feared the rich and influential. And a scion from a rich family wouldn't come to such a place without his bodyguards.Obviously, this man wasn't someone from a wealthy family."My father died ten years ago. So if you think you're old enough to be my father, then you've lived more than you're supposed to, you old fart!" Kane snorted back in reply.The m

As Ethan and Chloe made a stop at the police station, Matilda Brown, unaware of what her family was going through, rushed into the house in a frenzy and ran up to her room.She knelt on the floor and took out a box from under her bed.She opened and rummaged through it for a moment before whipping out an envelope. She didn't bother to confirm its content before rushing out of the house with it.Three hours later, she returned to the house, looking more enthusiastic than ever.She waltzed into Chloe's room and emerged from it some minutes later hiding something behind her back.Coincidentally, Claire happened to walk out of her room at that moment to see her mother hurrying out of her sister's room hiding something behind her back."Mom? What were you doing in Chloe's room?" She paused and asked suspiciously, raising a brow at Matilda.Matilda flinched and swiftly turned around. However, she smiled when she saw it wasn't Chloe but Claire."What? Oh, that. Nothing. I went into her room

In less than an hour, Claire brought 500 million dollars in cash and placed it beside the first bag of money Matilda had. "With this money, Claire, no one would dare to look down on our family!" Matilda said, overjoyed. The money doubling man massaged his beards for a moment while staring at the two bags of money. He then waved his hand at his assistant who hurried to him. The duo whispered about something for some seconds before the money doubling man shook his head a little. "This is the biggest amount of money we'll be doubling for one person today. You'll need to come back in twenty four hours to take back home your profit." "24 hours? Isn't that too much?" Claire asked, furrowing her brows into a light frown. The man placed his hands on the table and interlocked his fingers together. "For the amount of money you brought to be doubled, it isn't. Usually, one hundred million takes about three hours. Five hundred fake fifteen hours. And a billion dollars should take thirty ho

Downstairs, the dining room was filled to the brim with various people who were chattering nonstop.Matilda's loud laughter was enough to show she was in an extremely good mood.So one of her relatives took the opportunity to ask a question that had been bugging everyone in the room."I heard Chloe is close to Chairman Haworth of Astoria Corporation. It's still an unconfirmed rumor. But since we're already here and related to you in one way or another, why don't you just tell us if the rumors are true? Is your daughter really close to Chairman Haworth?""That's true. People are also saying he pulled some strings and got her a job in Springdale National College," another seconded.The chattering gradually stopped, and everyone looked towards Matilda, who had stiffened at the questions, with expectant gazes.However, before she could retort, someone harrumphed in disdain."If the rumors were true, why would the William family remove their names from the family tree? Chairman Haworth att

Wexford That evening, Declan Wellington felt cooped up at home, so he left the house to spend the day golfing with a close friend of the Wellingtons who owned a golf course. They golfed together for three hours before they got tired and drove to his house to rest. Marvin Phelps poured him a drink before asking politely, “This may be out of place for me to ask, Mr. Wellington, but you seemed out of it throughout today. Is anything the matter?” “What?” An absent-minded Declan didn’t know when he blurted out, glancing at him. Marvin Phelps sat up, now fully convinced there was something on Declan’s mind. With a serious look on his face, he cautiously continued, “What is the problem? Is anyone troubling you? Say the word and I’ll have that person’s legs crushed to bits and forcefully drag them here!” Declan raised his eyes to look at him. Even if he said nothing, his eyes lit up a little when he recalled who Marvin was. The Phelps family was headed by this man despit

Scott William was instantly taken aback. Then he gritted his teeth in rage and resisted the urge to grab her by the collar as he yelled at her angrily. “What do you think you’re doing? He’s your son-in-law, how could you think of doing something so despicable to him!”“I know you’ve been looking for ways to get rid of him, but he’s having a psychotic breakdown? Matilda Brown, are you out of your mind?!” However, the woman ignored him and reached into her bag for a file. She placed it on the counter and continued speaking to the officer with a straight face. “Here. This is the result of the psych evaluation. You can check with the hospital he took it at just to be sure.” Scott closed the distance between them and grabbed her arm firmly, “If you have nothing better to do, then turn around and go back home.” “I know you’re scared of this affecting our family, but you don’t have anything to worry about because I’ll take care of this!” “Ethan didn’t do what they’re accusing him of

The sergeant and the other officers were slightly taken aback by his sudden compliance. Given that Charles and Kane were questioning their every word, they assumed they would have to use force to get him out of here. However, not only was he complying, but he was even flashing them a faint, non-aggressive smile. It was as though he had the situation under control which caused them to wonder why. They were yet to be reached by anyone from the higherups, so what was this guy doing. Since Ethan was coming with them willingly, there was no need to cuff him at all. So the sergeant nodded and led him to the station. The reception was decvoid of people, but those who were in their rooms before a few minutes ago, were all standing beside their windows watching who was getting arrested. Ethan walked to the passenger side of the car and glanced around him with an unbothered smile before proceeding to get in. In Wexford County, in the Wellington family residence, Declan Wellington was w

Ethan’s eyes darkened instantly. Almost immediately, he felt a call come into his phone and checked the caller to see it was Declan calling. He was silent for a few seconds before assured her calmly, “I’ll bring them back. Chloe and Honey, I’ll make sure they come back without a scratch.” “For now, focus on getting better. Neither of them would like it if return to see you in such a terrible state.” Then he ended the call without waiting for her response and answered Declan’s. As soon as the call connected, Declan’s bubbly voice sounded in his ears, “Your little bastard is a little too pretty. Truly her mother’s daughter.” “Your genes almost lost the fight, but her eyes saved you. Hopefully, if your other bastard lives, it would put up a fight to look exactly like you.” Ethan tightened his grip around his phone, but said nothing. He remained expressionless, but his eyes beamed furious. Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything in really. Declan had truly blinded him from

Ethan didn’t react immediately. He was silent for several seconds before he responded. “You’re the highly esteemed head of the Welllington family. Why resort to threatening your enemy with somsone close to them when you can face them head on yourself?”Declan yawned boredly from the other end. “What nonsense are you talking about? My enemy? You? You really think I think of you as my enemy?” “In what world did you think a bastard like you is worthy of becoming an enemy of Declan Wellington?” “We may share the same father, but to me, you’re nothing more than a confused rat. Sure, you’ve spent a few years in the army and earned yourself a few lackeys, but vagrant like you should know their place.”“Simply talking to me is a privilege you should never have. Whatever I’ll make you go through is a privilege you don’t deserve. Even if I kill you, you should be grateful I let you die by my hands!”Ethan chuckled calmly and went on to reply. “I was told you sent one of the best men your

Meanwhile, Charles Wilkins was looking into the people who crashed into Claire’s car and took Chloe. He tracked them down to their base in a nightclub. The club had lax security. Hence, he wasn’t stopped by the hefty men standing the door as he walked into the club. It was a few minutes past 7 in the evening and the club was getting filled by people. He stood in the middle of the room and glanced around before he spotted the VIP section and strutted straight to it. It didn’t take him long to find the room of the club’s own given that there were six hefty bodyguards in front of the door. Inside the room, a short and fat man was sitting on the couch with two of his colleagues while watching three unclad ladies dancing on a strip poles. Because the music in the room was so loud, he didn’t hear the tussle outside and only realized something was wrong when an unfamiliar man walked into the room wiping his hands seemingly clean hands clean. Charles didn’t look at anyone as he

As soon as Lewis William ended the call, he stood over an unconscious Chloe with a lewd look in his eyes. Ever since he knew right from wrong, he was always told of her lucky he was to have such beautiful cousins. Had Chloe not fallen out of grace with the William family and most people in Springdale, he had no doubt his life would still be filled with words of how lucky he was to have Chloe and Claire as his cousins. He never saw the beauty everyone saw, but now that he was alone with her and could see her up close, he finally saw it. Was she not his cousin, he would’ve slept with her first before handing her over to this gallery director. As he walked out of the house, he received a call from somsone. “What do you think you’re doing? I clearly told you the person I am after is Claire William!” Vivian Martell yelled from the other end as soon as the call connected. Lewis sucked in a deep breath to keep himself from screaming back at her and retorted calmly, “There’s no need to

A minute later, Charles turned to Ethan and reported solemnly, “Mrs. Black wasn’t taken by Declan Wellington. She was taken by the William family.” In the William family residence. Adam William paced to and fro in the living room, his hands clasped behind his back and brows knitted together in worry. “Grandfather, after today, I will make sure our William family will no longer be looked down on by other families!” Those were the words Lewis said to him this morning before he left the house. Ever since Astoria Corporation pulled away their investment, other companies followed suit. They were not only knee-deep in debt, but every valuable thing in their house had been taken by the bank and everyone they were owing. They took everything ranging from jewelries, electronics and furnitures. Even the expensive looking lights were not left out. Adam had run to those whom he had helped when the William family were at its peak a few months ago, but they all hung up on him the moment th

He called her three times and each time, the phone wasn’t answered. There was no denying it now. Soenthing had really happened. His brows knitted into a tight frown as he switched to calling Claire. But just like Chloe, Claire didn’t answer her phone either. As soon as the third call ended, the screen of his phone lit up with a call from Claire and he eagerly answered it. “Where are you? I’ve been calling Chloe. Did something…” He was suddenly cut off by a voice that didn’t belong to Claire. “Hello, this phone belongs to a woman involved in a car accident. Seeing that your contact is saved with ‘Brother-in-law’ I thought it was wise to return your call.” His pupils instantly dilated and he strutted quickly to the window, away from Honey’s earshot.. He pressed the phone against his ear rig heed and repeated in disbelief, “Accident? She was involved in an accident? What about the other woman in the car with her? Is she badly injured? In fact, tell me which hospital you are!” In
