Knowing that not even his father who’s the most powerful person in his family could go against a single person in the Rodriguez family, not to talk of one of their biggest property, Alan Bottoms could only accept the ridiculing and judgmental gazes being given to him by everybody that saw him as he left Maple Leaves hotel.Presently, Alan Bottoms' eyes were completely red and filled with killing intents that he could only forcefully contain within himself.“Those bastards are so dead today?”Like someone who has lost his mind, Alan Bottoms stormed toward his car with his fists clenched forcefully, then he entered his car and closed the door with a bang, transferring all the aggression within him to the poor car.Just as Alan Bottoms was about to start the car and drive away furiously, his eyes subconsciously went to the pink car parked before his car, then instantly, a hint of recognition appeared in his crazed eyes.Although extremely weal****‘Wait a second,’ Christiana’s eyes suddenly widen, then she looked toward the submissive middle-aged man who was currently standing respectfully before Scarlet.‘If it was as I’d thought, wouldn’t that mean Mister Stones is one of my Fiancée’s underlings and not the other way around? Wow!!’Christiana suddenly became even more excited when she thought this that she almost began to hop and scream around, but she controlled herself well.‘This is great! This is so great! I knew it! Why was I always disgusted with him in the past and would rather settle down with John? My eyes surely are very talented to recognize a real gem!’While Christiana was busily jubilating inside her mind, Scarlet and Bucam Stones were finally done with their greetings and introductions, then Scarlet glanced at John and giggled.“Look at you, you’re now a big man, hun? Is it because of love or something else, you now look more handsome and mature.”She winked playf
**** “Brother, you sure you aren’t mistaken?” “Hun?” John's eyes widen when he heard his sister's question, then he watched her carefully to check if she wasn’t pranking him again. Realizing that his sister seemed to be dead serious, John rolled his eyes helplessly at her. “Dear elder sister, do you think I would make a costly mistake like that?” Scarlet instantly became further dumbfounded, then her mind refused to think again. Just at this moment, Christiana whom the crowd parted the way for finally arrived, then she bowed slightly to Scarlet whose eyes were unfocused right now. ‘Don’t tell me this is the case of the sister-in-law read-handily catching her brother's wife cheating on her brother.’ The guard behind Scarlet who is also currently flabbergasted couldn’t help but think with his mouth wide open. Thinking this, the guard abruptly glanced subconsciously at John's face, then at Bosham Stone's face, before his gaze eventually settled d
**** John suddenly smacked his lips together and gazed helplessly at his sister. “What a strange question from you, sister. The relationship between Mister Stones here and my babe is that of a big boss and a subordinate.”John explained, then seeing the deep frown that abruptly appeared on his sister's face, he thought she doesn’t understand him, so he explained further. “Sister, as I’d told you before while working in the media company which was chaired by Mister Stones here, I happen to be a unit director, which you already knew of. My babe works directly under me, the rest of the story, I’ve told you.”Both John and Christiana instantly couldn’t help but exchange gazes when John finished his story, then they both blushed hard before directly looking down at the same time.As for Scarlet, her face has become deathly pale right now.‘This shouldn’t be! This shouldn’t be! Why would my brother fall in love with a whore!’‘Of all ladies in the world, o
***** The moment Bucam Stones heard Scarlet’s words, he became nervous-stricken and thick beads of sweat instantly covered his entire body.“You… you can’t do this. What… what power do you have to… to make this decision, and… and have you forgotten that the partnership between your family and I is solely about business?” The middle-aged man’s voice trembled as him, but he tried as much as he could to show a courageous font.Once Scarlet heard him, she couldn’t help but become filled to the brim with anger, so she instantly mocked the middle-aged man before uttering coldly. “If those are your beliefs, then I can only tell you now that you shouldn’t worry much, our family's lawyer shall be the first person to contact you tomorrow morning.”Hearing this, Bucam Stones' heart instantly died, then his eyes became utterly unfocused.The rate at which he trembles started increasing. It was as if he would faint at any given moment if care if not taken.
**** ‘Why would a whole manager of this hotel whose identity could instill fear into everybody suddenly bow to him, and with the expression on his face, he wasn’t surprised?’ Both Fiona and Sally were currently filled with all sorts of thoughts, but they couldn’t and doesn’t know how to voice them out. With their hearts thumping loudly in their chests, they could only watch what was going on and do nothing. Never would they have known that Rex Magnus was actually as equally stunned as them right now. ‘How does she know that I own the so-called golden card?’ His face suddenly furrowed after a while as he studies the lady who was currently bowing and smiling respectfully & apologetically to him. Although he was feeling the sudden change in atmosphere within the hall and the gazes being given to him by everybody, he doesn’t give a damn. After studying Scarlet’s face for a while, Rex Magnus finally decided to show her what she was asking for, since he could feel her honesty. Makin
***** “Boohoo! Grandmother, would my suffering today be in vain?!” “Grand… grandmother, would… would that wench triumph over us just like that after stepping on your face?” “Please do something about it, don’t let that family you publicly denounced win and make you a liar!” “Mother, please something needed to be done as soon as possible, or else, wouldn’t you just be letting your grandson suffer like that from an outsider because of an outcast?” At this moment, within the Johnson family's estate. Although it was already very late into the night, the Old Matriarch's villa was still very crowded right now with everybody showing their unwillingness and unhappiness toward the Old Matriarch. Although it wasn’t exactly as it happened, the news of what occurred today has already spread out and various rumors have already been formed. Everybody, especially the members of the Johnson family had been shocked to death after the news of Fiona, a member of an outcast branch was made the CEO
**** “Sir, I’m very sorry about how rude I was earlier.” Rex Magnus who was presently lost in his thought instantly became startled when he heard this, then he raised his head. Seeing the person apologizing, Rex Magnus felt nothing, so he only nodded his head slightly since he hadn’t taken her behavior earlier seriously. But when Curtly saw Rex Magnus' dismissive response, she smiled remorsefully while thinking helplessly in her mind. ‘He doesn’t even give me any chance to speak.’ Curtly watched Rex Magnus' eyes that has turned away from hers, then she became embarrassed and doesn’t know what to do again. Just at that moment, Rex Magnus spoke, but not at her. “Wife, could you get back inside the car and let’s return home? The coldness outside is starting to become heavy.” Fiona Instantly blushed bashfully when she heard Rex Magnus' sudden words, then she couldn’t help but subconsciously gazed embarrassedly at her friend. As for Curtly, sh
**** The three women in the car began to scream hysterically while urging Rex Magnus to speed off. But would a whole Rex Magnus who’s the Divine General of an entire country be scared of some petty criminals who are trying to double-cross him? Of course, no! He wasn’t trying to be arrogant. This is just him being the real him, the Divine General who would still go even if he knew it was a suicide mission. Hearing the panic-stricken cries within the car, Rex Magnus' lips abruptly raised at both sides, then suddenly, instead of doing as the women within the car were screaming, Rex Magnus slowed down greatly, startling and scaring the ladies to the core. “Ah! What do you think you are doing? How dare you slow down? Do you want to get us killed?” with her heart pounding hysterically like a thunder's roar in her chest, Sally who was seated behind Rex Magnus began to pound Rex Magnus' chair while screaming at the top of her lungs fearfully and tearfully. Even Curtly had turned deathly
