Chloe slightly opened her eyes on the hospital bed and was transfixed by the faces of her family sitting beside her."She has woken." Liam, the only person who didn't sleep last night, swiftly rubbed his eyes. He relaxed his shoulders on the chair and took a deep breath. He had been watching the rising breath of his daughter since last night to be sure she was alive and, at the same time, was furious about what Mr. Lucian did to her.Old Mrs. Morrison opened her eyes ajar and stopped Liam from grappling with Chloe's hand. "I understand your feelings, but let her rest."Liam then hugged Mrs. Morrison and sobbed like a small child. "Mr. Lucian is so wicked. I thank God my daughter hasn't married him. He is going to regret it. He would die in prison."Others were woken by Liam's mourning voices and were relieved to see Chloe sitting up."This isn't the right moment to cry," Mr. Williams said as he checked his wristwatch. "Now she is fine, what should we do next?"Old Mrs. Morrison looked
Augustus frowned as he knelt before Mr. Lucian and said nothing.He can only force himself to knee, but can't force himself to beg. He had made up his mind that Mr. Lucian deserved the punishment for beating Chloe.“I expect you guys to support me. He deserves it and we shouldn't care. I'm not afraid and won't beg him,” Augustus said and rose.“We're not here to spoil his things. He had every right to take us to jail now. The only thing we can do is to find the money,” Mr. William said.“We won't find any money, and he must release Granny now,” Augustus said and looked more aggressive.“Calm down please, Dad,” Stella said.“I don't have time for rubbish people. What I said is what I will stand on. I will not release Mrs. Morrison till he pays $3,000,000. In fact…” He pointed to Stella while looking at his other security men. “Take his daughter too and send the rest out of my company. I don't want to see any of them except if he comes with my money. And I have increased the amount to $
After getting home and relaxing for some moments, Mr. Williams checked his wristwatch and rose as Stella offered Mrs. Morrison a herbal tea.“I will be going home now. I have an important meeting to attend.”“Thank you very much, Mr. Williams, for being there for me on bad days. I appreciate it. God will repay you in abundance,” Mrs. Morrison said.Mr. Williams smiled. “You are always welcome.”The moment Mr. William left, Mrs. Morrison started the topic with Master.“Augustus, what are you hiding from me? Which master are you?”Augustus sighed. If he says the truth, who would believe the truth anyway? What is the point of saying it?“Mom is talking to you, Augustus,” Liam added.“I’m not the master that Mr. Lucian is talking about,” Augustus said.“Then you might have some connection with that master,” Mrs. Morrison asked.“I don't want to be repeating myself, Mom. I cannot hide from you.”“The way you show courage at Mr. Lucian’s company depends on someone or something,” Liam said.
Augustus shed tears of joy as he leaned his back on the wall of Private Key bank. He went there to confirm his account balance because he thought he might have received a fake alert from the unknown master.The notification he received didn't show the master's name or account number. All he saw was 95 billion dollars.Augustus had thought he would never forgive Liam and Mrs. Morrison, but the happiness that was flowing within him made him forget the pain of how they treated him badly.If not for old Mrs. Morrison, who took everything he owned, the master might not make him a billionaire.Augustus called the private number back but it failed. He then went to the restaurant to have a good meal and then used the opportunity to relax and think of what he would use the money for.The first thought that crossed his mind was of his daughter. He must take her out of Mrs. Morrison's house so that he can show her love he failed to do since her childhood.Days went by and weeks went by. Liam tri
Travis Lewis parked his old and cheapest electric bike in front of the Rose Garden store to buy a bouquet of 9 pink roses for Abigail, his pretty girlfriend.As a delivery staff at the university, Travis had delivered the last parcel before Abigail called him, asking him to meet her inside the Mystique Peaks Hotel tonight, for she had a big surprise for him.This was the first time Abigail would prepare a surprise for him. Overjoyed, Travis planned to surprise her with the roses first.When Travis got to the Mystique Peaks Hotel, the security guard didn't allow him to park his bike nearby, and the doormen prevented him from entering because of his poor appearance.Travis then dialed Abigail's phone number."I'm there already," Travis said"Are those roses for me?" Abigail asked."How did you know? Where are you?"Abigail laughed hysterically. "Look at your back."Travis turned back, looking around.Abigail got out from a black Chevrolet Equinox car with a scornful smile and walked tow
[The System is Activating...][12%, 30%, 45%, 77%, 100%][The system has successfully activated][You would receive a mission after 15 hours]The written words and the glistening grand system symbol disappeared, leaving Travis in total confusion. He had never encountered this thing before.Travis sat down on the bed, not quite knowing what to do next. He then thought maybe the trauma he went through from the time he lost his family had damaged his brain.He set his alarm before concluding he would keep some money for a brain test.In the morning, Travis opened his eyes while the rays of the sun filtered in through the curtain. His eyes almost popped out of his eyes as a question crept into his mind."Why did my alarm fail to wake me up?"He jumped off the bed as quickly as he realized he had missed twenty-five calls from his boss and the time was 11:55 AM already.He dialed his boss's number and received an answer on the first ring."I have replaced you, and I don't want to see your s
Gideon felt many insects roaming around in his clothes. The bright beams on his face disappeared as he wondered if the insects found their way in when he went to the zoo yesterday.“What is wrong?” Sarah asked as she noticed Gideon rubbing his body and shaking his clothes for something to come out.Gideon screamed and shook his clothes faster.A smile crept onto Travis’s face. The grand system was so fast in helping him. Now he can’t wait to see a drama happen.Sarah gave Gideon you-did-this sort of glare and then said, “What did you do to him?”“I did nothing. Everyone here is my witness.”“Don’t tell me that. You are a fucking liar. If anything bad happens to Gideon, you will rot in jail.”“But he did nothing,” a man said.“Gideon kicked him down and he hasn’t even taken a step to fight,” another man said.“I’m sure this strange thing will still happen to him if they fight each other or not.”Gideon couldn’t endure as the pains increased. He ran to the car, but the door didn’t open.
Now Travis has the confidence to raise his chin while walking on the street. Looking into people's eyes doesn't even bother him anymore.He didn't stop the cab because he enjoyed walking slowly, with no intention of reaching home.Then a question came to his mind. What if the money disappeared?He should think of a way to transfer his money in the grand system to his bank account."Hello, golden system," Travis said in his mind, hoping to get an answer.[You have a trust issue]Travis felt shocked. He had forgotten the system could listen to his thoughts. He didn't reply since he had already disappointed the system.[Hold your breath for twenty seconds to stop me from listening to your thoughts]"My breath? You want me to die?"[I know your capacity][Henceforth, I will punish you if I find any thought that doesn't trust me in your mind]Travis had no choice. He took out his phone and set the stopwatch app. Then another word appeared before him.[Your lack of trust in me with your act
