2024-10-29 19:42:56CEO Douglass motioned Travis to enter his office and told the auctioneer to bring coffee
“I’m so honored to receive you to my office,” he said as they sat. “Thank you,” Travis said “This is my business card. Can I know where you are living?” “I rented a house.” “You rented a house? Wow! You are a rare being. You have a lot of money and didn’t show off. It isn't easy to live like that.” “It’s not that hard. Somehow, I just wanted to know how living poorly would feel like, but now after working as a delivery boy for six years, had experienced what money can’t buy.” “Wow! But you can’t take that car to that house because of low security. This is the right time to go back to your mansion.” “I don’t have a house. I have already sold it.” The CEO widened his eyes. “You are an unpredictable person. Would you like to meet my business partner, who is a real estate?” “Sure!” He dialed someone's number and asked him to come within thirty minutes. The auctioneer entered with two cups of coffee. “Please have it?” The CEO sipped his coffee while Travis felt the urge to drown all the coffee at once because it was richer than the one he often drinks at the coffee shop, but he controlled his urge and sipped it twice. “Thank you,” he said, sipping more. “Is this how you treat every customer in this company?” “Yes, of course. All customers have every right to be treated special because they are.” “But one of your workers disobeys the rule. She kicked me when I wanted to enter the hall and promised to beat me because I forced myself in.” The CEO Douglass rose angrily. “Please take me to her. She must pay for the consequence.” Travis took them to the security lady. “Just tell me what he said about you is not true,” CEO Douglass roared at the lady. She shivered but hid it. “I don’t understand, sir.” “Why did you kick the customer?” “I can’t do that.” “Check the surveillance camera and you will see the truth,” Travis said. “The camera here is not working anymore,” she said with her head bent. “I make sure the engineer installs the cameras everywhere in my company. Why don’t you inform me or repair it when it spoils?” [I repaired the surveillance camera when she kicked you] Travis touched CEO Douglass and motioned him to look at the camera blinking. “She is an honest liar.” CEO Douglass slapped her and asked other security to bring the laptop to see the recorded video. They all watch the moment the lady kicks Travis and promises to beat him after he comes out of the hall. The security lady kowtowed with tears falling from her eyes. “I’m so sorry, master. I’m trying to do my job well.” “To disrespect customers?” The CEO Douglass roared. “I’m so dumb to think he was a beggar.” She knelt and slapped herself. “Please, forgive me. I will never do this again.” “I will punish you and you should not dare to come here again.” He told other security to beat her and they beat her till she fainted. The real estate agent met them in the hall and showed Travis unique pictures of the mansion available. “I choose this one. How much is it?” “$6,234,000.” Travis bought it and collected the mansion keys with the address. [$6,234,000 is successfully withdrawn from your account] [Your Account Balance: $2,766,000] **** That night at the Mystique Peaks Hotel, Calvin brought out his wedding card and gave it to Abigail, who was waiting for the surprise he had for her. “What is this?” Abigail stared at the name written on the card as if she hadn’t read it right the first time. “Please tell me this isn’t you.” “It is not my fault. My father wanted me to marry her because she was the daughter of his business partner. I can’t just stand in his way.” He brought money out of his pocket and stretched it to her. “Take care of yourself. If you need more, just call me.” “Are you joking?” “I don't.” “Take that fucking money off my face. You are trying to dump me after you have your way into my body.” “Have already told you what happened? I love you so much and it hurt me to do this. But there is nothing I could do.” The phone of Calvin rang, and Abigail swiftly grabbed the phone from him. It was ‘my angel’, calling him. “You already named her the name you often call me and you want me to believe your father forced you to do this. Can anyone force you to do something?” “You know what?” Calvin slapped her hard and took his phone from the floor. “You have no right to my phone while it’s ringing. Yes, there is nothing you can do if I dump you. I’m giving you this money because you taste good, but now you are sour.” Calvin spat on her and walked into his car, driving away. He left her. And his absence made her think she was dreaming. The same hotel where she broke Travis’s heart was where Calvin shattered hers. She rubbed her hair back, forcing a smile onto her face. A remedy to block tears as the pain was too much for her to bear.

Gideon dashed there and pounced Travis on the face. “That fake video is your work.”The CEO Moore was so mad that he slapped Gideon twice. “Is disgracing me not enough for you? Why on earth do you want to ruin me completely?”“Please, try to understand me. We are innocent. The only person I suspected was this wicked Travis. We need to imprison him for tarnishing our image. He made me take my clothes off in public that day and today he disgraced us with fake videos.”Calvin grabbed the collar of Travis, his red eyes almost popped out of his eyes. “I was right. You are behind the fake video, confess now or you rot in jail.”CEO Moore pushed Calvin away and clenched his other fist as he took out his phone, dialing the phone number of a police officer. “I make sure you live the easiest life I didn’t enjoy during my childhood.

Mr. Garry flares his furious face to Gideon. "You are a disgraceful and a bastard son. The only way for you to avoid my wrath is to stay away from me."Gideon covered his face with his palms as he burst into tears. Raising his head, he pointed his finger at Travis.

Travis looked at Jane. "She was right. Is that enough or I should say more?""Are you not ashamed of yourself?" Jane asked, looking around to make sure people were hearing. When her eyes met people's, she laughed and, as if it was contagious, the people laughed too."I've never met a brainless, poor man like you. Think of this, you got an admission from the university. You can't afford its fees and still have the gut to accept it and later drop out after wasting money."You didn't learn your lesson. You continue to repeat the same foolishness. Instead of you to buy seven used clothes for 5 dollars at a local shop, you come where your salary can't afford to buy a singlet."Travis let out a heavy sigh. "Must you compare my past to my present?""Your past is even better than your present. You look good back then when other students often give you their leftovers food."A rich man stepped in and smiled as every eye was on him.

Jane exchanged a shocking glance with the other saleslady as Manager Brock rose, darting out with others. “Something is wrong with my eyes. Who did you see?” Jane asked. The other saleslady put her hands on her head, regretting the way they treated Travis before she hurried after the manager, leaving Jane wondering in her unclear and unbelievable thoughts. Travis leaned his back on his car and watched them rushing to him. “Afternoon sir. We’re honored to have you here. How may we help you?” Manager Brock asked with a soft tone as he struggled to stop himself from remembering the way he sent Travis outside. “Don’t bother yourself. I’m waiting for your CEO to attend to me,” Travis said. “We aren’t worth attending to you, but we would like to entertain you. Can you please enter the high-class room first?” “Thank you, but I am fine staying here.” Manager Brock goes on his knees. “Please don’t be fine staying here, you are too important to stay outside.

He had received many awards from her because of his beautiful drawings.When Rocco learned that Mrs. Morrison had invited many special guests, he had spent several nights painting the pictures in other to impress the guests which could make him more famous.It was a big no for him to accept a poor young man from taking this rare position."Granny, this canvas is worth millions of dollars because the art tools I used are worth fifty million dollars.

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 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.

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.

Chloe wore a blue gown early in the morning and went to Travis's door, knocking. "Open the door, Travis." She gave Travis a rate-me sort of smile as he opened the door. Travis widened his eyebrows. "Hey. You are so beautiful like a morning glow." Chloe hissed. "I want you to tell me I am ugly. I want to fail. Give me ten minutes." She hurried back to her room and changed into a black skirt and white top. She knocked on Travis's door again. "How do I look now?" Travis took a deep sigh. "Don't you look in the mirror?" "Just tell me how I look." "I won't lie. You become more pretty." "Two minutes please." Chloe went back to her room. She wore her vest, jeans, and cap, looking like a tomboy. The moment Travis saw her coming, he burst into laughter. And without asking how she looked, she took Travis's laughter as a way of telling her she was ugly. But no, Travis wanted to tell her to wear the first blue gown because the vest revealed more of her alluring face. Stella went to Trav

The Morrison family gathered to talk about their huge debts and about bringing Mr. Lucian back."The first solution is to send Travis away," Liam said."I don't see anything wrong with what Travis did. He hadn't collected any salary. He can't afford new clothes. I'm sorry to say the problem was Mr. Lucian himself. He wanted to use the opportunity to marry your daughter. He is too old for her," Augustus said. Liam, who sees this as an opportunity to have a strong connection with Mr. Lucian hated what Augustus said last. But he had to hold himself from going against Augustus in the presence of his children so that they wouldn't detect his hidden motive. Liam then kept quiet. It's not because he didn't know what to say, but because he didn't want to say too much so that his plan wouldn't be ruined by Augustus.Old Mrs. Morrison focused on her breathing as instructed by one yoga teacher to reduce stressful thoughts.

"You guys are reducing me to a means to an end. I'm not important in this family. I'm just reduced to a helper," Mr. Lucian said in anger."It's not what you think, Mr. Lucian." Old Mrs. Morrison quickly sipped her herbal tea, a remedy to reduce a heart attack. The anger of Mr. Lucian's face almost gave her high blood pressure. Since Mr. Lucian was her last hope. She would do whatever it took to cool him down, even if it would take her to send Travis away.Mr. Lucian pointed at Travis. "Then why did this riffraff bring me coffee? See how he dressed. He didn't even comb his hair. I'm very sure he didn't have his bath today..."The noise Stella heard made her dart into the guest room. She knelt before Mr. Lucian because she didn't want him to punish Travis. "It was my fault. I should have brought it. Please punish me instead."Mr. Lucian rose and stormed out without listening to what Mrs. Morrison had to say. Mrs. Morrison swiftly asked the people to beg him because he was her last hope

"I would let you go peacefully if you promise me you won't contact her again," Travis said."Yes, I promise," Arthur said with a sincere voice."You can go.""Thank you very much." Arthur rose and hurried away.When Travis and Bella were going back to the car, Travis noticed Bella didn't want to talk to him. Travis couldn't decipher and so he asked."You told him not to contact her again," Bella said. Her anger showed more through her voice than through her cool face."That's what you want.""When did I tell you that? I can tell that you also want to date Stella."Now that Travis understood Bella was jealous, he had nothing else to say than to say he was sorry."You are free like her, but I don't expect you to let the guy go without being punished for comparing me to Stella. I defended you and you defended who you love. You didn't see me as an important person. Don't talk to me again."And Travis's silence afterward fuels her anger more.

Bella drove her car closer and then realized it was him. This was the second time she saw Travis doing great things she couldn't believe he was capable of. What kind of person is Travis? Bella inquired curiously before coming out of the car. "Hey, Travis!" Travis was surprised to see her and, at the same time, was scared. He shouldn't have asked the grand system for help if he knew Bella would see him. Travis quickly thought of what to say to bail himself out of Bella. Telling people how he fought today was the last thing he wanted Bella to announce to anyone. "Hey, Travis!" Bella repeated, since Travis looked away the first time she called him. Travis turned to her with a forced smile like a Kong fu student to their master while the men on the floor were groaning. Bella didn't care if the men rose and attacked them, because she had already trusted that Travis would save her. Travis, on the other hand, was rubbing his head as if to let her know they pounced on his head so th
