2024-10-29 19:42:56“Thank you very much, Dad. I love you!”
Lukas then turned off his call, then he came out wearing a new shirt. However, it wasn’t that easy for Lukas to escape from Brian and Renata. In fact, his two step siblings really made it impossible for Lukas to go anywhere.
“Wow, wow, wow… Looks like our family servant had enough guts to enter from the main door in his dirty clothes, when I told him to stay behind until the party was over. Are you deaf now, Lukas?”
“Sorry, I don’t need to listen to everything you say, Brian.”
“Tsk! Look, this man who feels betrayed because of his love. Your fate is truly unfortunate, I just can’t bear to see you hear the big news that our father will announce.Namely my engagement to Amanda. Or do you really want to hear it, then you will cry in the corner sobbing? Okay, I will capture that moment and I will play it every time I feel annoyed with my work.” Brian continued to mock Lukas because of this.
“Don’t be too arrogant, Brian. We will never know what someone’s destiny will be, being too self-confident is not a good thing, don’t make God angry and then change your rotten destiny.” Lukas said with a sarcastic smile, he was about to leave but was stopped by Brian and his two friends.
And of course, this made Brian feel even more angry, because Lukas’ attitude turned brave towards him.
“What do you mean, Lukas? Amanda and I are already in a relationship, and our families both approve of it. Why do you act as if you are going to change everything?”
Lukas nodded his head, and now he stepped closer to Brian while puffing out his chest.
“How about we make a bet, Brian.”
“What do you mean?”
“If tonight is true you will be engaged to Amanda, and you two will really get married. Then I will be your servant until I die. However, if you fail to get married, then you must kneel and apologize to me for everything you have done to me. How about that ?”
“Quite interesting, but I don’t want you to just be my servant. What if in front of all of Dad’s invited guests, you kneel and kiss my feet, then you say directly that you will be my servant forever?”
“Fine, I agree!” Lukas said confidently.
Not long after, the atmosphere became silent. Mr. Michael took the microphone to amplify his voice, after doing a test. He started making speeches. Until finally he said what Brian and Lukas had been waiting for.
“On my birthday, I will also announce some happy news for you. My only son, Brian Michael, were to marry the only daughter of the Lewis family. I deliberately held their engagement event tonight, to make it seem more festive and profound. So, I want the two prospective bride and groom to immediately come closer to exchange rings.”
“Wait!” The exclamation made all the invited guests turn their heads.
Mr. Lewis walked unsteadily with a serious expression on his face, a tense and quite frightened expression. He had just received a phone call that disturbed his thoughts.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Lewis? This is a ring exchange event for our children’s engagement.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Michael, and I’m sorry for all the invited guests. Maybe this will make everyone uncomfortable. I just want to say that this engagement is cancelled, and there will be no marriage between the Lewis family and the Michael family ever.”
Boom!
Lukas immediately smiled triumphantly, while Brian and Amanda could only stare like fools there.
Mr. Michael, who couldn’t bear the shame, didn’t accept it. He immediately rushed to grab Mr Lewis’s hand to ask for definite clarity on this issue.
“What the hell, Mr. Lewis! How can you cancel our children’s arranged marriage event with one party just like that? This is the most unfair thing. I can’t accept you treating me like this!” snapped Mr. Michael. “You have embarrassed me in front of many invited guests and they are my important people and business relations! Where should I put my face, Mr. Lewis!”
“This wedding is to unite not only our children in a marriage bond, but to establish solid cooperation for two families. Currently the Malik family company has resigned to become a permanent investor in the Lewis family company, now what benefits can we get? We don’t benefit from each other. So it’s better if we just cancel this engagement.”
“What? Has he gone crazy?”
“It can’t be helped, everyone definitely has the desire to continue maintaining their company, and so do I. I don’t want to lose my most loyal business relationship, so I hope you can understand that. And I think, you should also approach Mr. Malik, he is the only stable company that can help you right now.”
“I can’t believe that all this could happen! What kind of grudge does Mr. Lewis have to do something like that to me!” Mr. Michael was annoyed.
Lukas didn’t care about the two adults arguing, he walked over to Brian and Amanda. The pair of lovers who were currently standing stupidly.
“How about it, I won the bet, right? So I take your promise. Kneel before me and admit all your mistakes, in front of all these invited guests, Brian.”
Brian immediately pushed Lukas’ body, until Lukas took a few steps back to compensate so that his body wouldn’t fall. Then he stood up, looking at Brian who was already mad at him.
“I will never kneel, let alone worship you, Lukas. Who are you? You’re just an adopted child? You are a servant in my family, even if I die I will never do that.”
“So, you’ve become a coward who will ignore your words? Wow, Brian Michael. I can’t believe you are like that.”
“Shut up, Lukas! I don’t care!”
“Guys, look at this, Brian Michael doesn’t want to do what he said. He lost the bet but doesn’t want to accept the punishment!”
Brian became angry again, without saying anything he immediately left. Embarrassment crept onto his face. Brian vowed to avenge Lukas after this.

“What is this! I really can’t understand how things could turn out like this! The Lewis family is our only hope for getting out of the crisis the company is experiencing. If this marriage is cancelled, then where will we get through this crisis?” Mr. Michael seemed really worried. In fact, he couldn’t sleep at all because of this problem.Initially, he felt confident that he would be able to get out of the crisis and get his company back on its feet without any obstacles. But now, who would be willing to provide him with a large amount of funds to help him?“Calm down, Dad. The crisis that occurs in our family doesn’t necessarily make our family poor, right? We are still among the richest families in this country.” Brian answered so lightly.“You are an incompetent child, Brian. You can’t even just marry Amanda.”Brian then sneered, then he saw that Lukas was smiling mockingly at him.“Why are you looking at me like that, Lukas? Do you think you are better than me? A servant like you

“Where did you steal from, Lukas? Why do you have such an expensive phone?” asked Brian at last.Lukas looked at his cellphone, then he put it in his trouser pocket. He looked at Brian with a flat gaze.“This phone is mine.” Lukas answered casually. “You guys wait, the money is already in front of the doorway.”Lukas came out, and not long after he brought several suitcases, he even took the suitcases from outside several times. He put all the suitcases inside. Lukas put one suitcase on the table, and how surprised the Michael family was to find out that what was inside all the suitcases was … money.All of the Michael family couldn’t believe it, in fact they could only put on very stupid looks. Lukas saw this and smiled with satisfaction. This was the first time he was finally able to completely shut the Michael family’s mouths.“Now do you believe me?”Mr. Michael and the others gasped, then they rubbed their faces roughly.Brian then took several bills, just to check whether the mo

“Hello, Julian. Can I ask you a favor?”“Yes, Young Master. What can I do for you?”“Do you know that famous boutique downtown?”“Yes, I do, Young Master. What’s wrong with that boutique?”“I want you to buy that boutique and don’t let a woman named Amanda Lewis get in there.”“Yes sir.”Lukas immediately hung up his cell phone, then he left his room. He glanced at Mr. Michael who was still sitting contemplating in the living room. Of course, it seemed like there was another problem after the ten billion dollars was given by Lukas.“Is there something else bothering you, Dad? Didn’t you get ten billion dollars from me?”“There’s another problem going on, Lukas. And this is a pretty big problem.”“What is it?”“Today there are several of my business relations who have unilaterally terminated their cooperation. I don’t know what the problem is or why, it’s just that this is making our family company even worse. I need a business relationship from a large company to support our family co

The next morning, Brian and Lukas were in front of the company owned by the Malik family. Both of them were wearing quite expensive suits. Brian glanced at Lukas who was wearing an expensive suit. Even his father bought Lukas expensive clothes now.“Look at you, as the saying goes, sewer rats will forever remain rats no matter how good the clothes he wears. Just like you who really don’t deserve to wear those clothes. Because of what? Because you’re more suited to wearing trashy clothes.”Lukas just smiled, he glanced at Brian who was very confident in winning this match.“Okay, Mr. Michael. Please fight, I hope you can make your father proud.”Lukas walked so casually into the company, while Brian had to be detained by security officers and had to make a report.Brian was quite confused, what did Lukas do so that he could easily enter the biggest company in this country?After Lukas entered, he was immediately greeted by Julian, and he was immediately taken to his father’s room.“Mr

Mr. Michael was silent, what Renata said was actually true. If he had to be honest, Mr. Michael really didn’t like everything that was happening. Lukas had done all the impossible things in a short time, as if Lukas had a superpower to turn himself from nothing into a helper and hero in his family.“So what should I say to him? Can you tell me, Renata?”“It’s easy, Dad. Just tell Lukas that you have a favorite workshop, and you want the most useful child in our family to take care of it and you entrust it all to Lukas. I’m sure that Lukas would feel honored, setting up the workshop, and renovating it. Making the workshop run as usual also requires quite a bit of money, Dad. Let’s see how Lukas is going to get that much money to start his business, while we can live relaxed and free from Lukas’ shadow.”Mr. Michael smiled. It was indeed a great strategy to get rid of Lukas. Renata was his smartest child, and Mr. Michael can’t wait to announce this. With his company having obtained co

Renata and Brian immediately went to the control room of their house, both of them immediately moved to check the CCTV in their house on the night where Lukas was rudely kicked out by Brian. The two of them then watched carefully just as Lukas was standing alone so stupidly that then..."What's with this CCTV footage?" Brian was shocked.How could it not be, their house CCTV only shows the part of Lukas standing stupidly in the corner of the house fence, for the rest the CCTV footage is damaged but it returns to normal the next day. It was as if someone had deleted the recording and this was something that really made Brian even more curious. Who and how could it be, of course this would be a big question mark, a question that Brian and Renata would never be able to believe if this happened purely naturally."Do you think Lukas deleted this CCTV footage?" Brian asked Renata for advice."Even I'm not sure Lukas understands which is a cursor and which is a document, you know if Lukas is

“Luke, aren't you having dinner? I deliberately made you roast beef with super quality meat and it is very delicious, come out immediately and enjoy your food while it's still warm, Lukas.""Roast beef?"Even Lukas had to repeat the question because what he heard was so foreign. Even though he was a stranger, Lukas didn't know what to do. In the past, never mind the super quality roast beef that might be served when Christmas Eve and New Year came, even for just salted fish, Lukas would be the last person left out to get it all. What's more terrible is that Lukas never got a seat in the dining room. Lukas always sat at the bottom or else he had to eat together with the other servants. In fact, Lukas didn't really mind things like this at first, and being adopted by Michael's family was already very happy. It's just that over time Lukas began to realize one thing, he was a child, not a servant, and how did his life story become this tragic now?"Yes, come out immediately, everyone is w

“The dress looks so cute.” Amanda whispered together with Brian.Actually, this is something that can never be imagined, how could it not be, who doesn't feel whether this is a good thing or not, what is clear from the brand is that of course these are things that have no use at all, something that makes them honest feel bored. Amanda was told to come along by Brian and of course this was something that wasn't profitable enough, of course.“I imagined you wearing a wedding dress.”"Do you intend to make me a model to try on that wedding dress?" Amanda inquired. Then Amanda began to understand one thing. “Are you forcing me to know this matter? I mean of course this is something unimaginable, you forced me to come here, who knows, I will be jealous of Emelly and make my heart want to get married?" Amanda asked.Brian smiled slightly, of course this was something that made Brian quite confused. Want to be honest but how not to be honest is something that really no one can imagine. This

"Sorry, may I ask who you are, Lukas?" asked Emelly, who could no longer contain the curiosity she felt because she saw Renata admitting that she had such private affairs with Lukas. How could Emelly not think it was strange if a figure was like Renta, a figure who seemed quite aggressive in terms of clothing and so on, which really made Emelly unable to see Renata as a shy woman who could hold herself together in front of handsome men.Meanwhile, Renata, who was asked by Emelly like that, seemed to frown perfectly. How could it not be, this is something strange for Renata because she is only a secretary but is able to ask questions that are not necessary and that Emelly does not need to know at all.Could it be that this is like a romance novel where a secretary falls in love with a handsome boss?Renata smiled, the rotten idea immediately printed sweetly in her brain so perfectly and perfectly real.“Why do you ask so many questions? Are you curious about me? I am a very special wom

This afternoon Renata was at the company, she waddled around like an international class model. While wearing glasses, Renata approached the employee's desk in front then Renata cleared her throat."Sorry, who are you?" asked the employee.Annoyed because the employee didn't recognize Renata, he immediately lowered his glasses with an extraordinary expression on his face. How could it not be, Renata didn't think that her father's employees were really so stupid. How can no one know a beautiful woman like Renata? Of course this is an annoying thing for Renata. Renata felt insulted by various things and felt unrecognized even where her father worked."Hey, you're so presumptuous. This is something that no one can ever compare, in fact, who doesn't understand all this? It's really an annoying thing. Try asking my name out loud one more time!” angry from Renata.The two employees there looked at each other then they looked at the security guard outside. In their hearts they were thinking

“Emy, how are you?”Emelly, who heard this question from Lukas, frowned, how could this not be something that Emelly could never have imagined. Every day we meet and every day how can Lukas still ask for news? It's something that would never be imagined.“Is this a daily question or a once every three days question?” asked Emily."What?"“Don't we meet every day why do you ask how you are. This is something that would never have been imagined up to this point of course, I didn't know and didn't think about it up to that point of course.”Lukas immediately embraced Emelly's body, then he took a deep breath too. In the end, asking about the progress of the wedding and engagement was something that really made Lukas feel really embarrassed. In fact, he was so embarrassed that he felt confused about where to start."How is the progress of preparations for our engagement and wedding?

"You just got home, Lukas?"Lukas saw his father who was greeting him, he was wearing an all black suit and immediately leaned back on the sofa. Of course, this is something that is unimaginable more than anything with all the things that were unthinkable up to this point of course. This is something that no one can imagine, of course.“I'm really, really tired, Dad.”"You took part in the funeral procession of that criminal?""Yes, I was told by Brian, not ordered. It would be a pity if Brian came alone, so I accompanied him to Jonas' funeral. More than that, I feel guilty. Father. At least that makes me feel a little less guilty. I just feel like if we met briefly enough with him being annoyed with me then with everything else, then more than that, he hates me so much and it's like he knows me beyond anything. this is something unimaginable, right? so then I met him and immediately put him in prison and then in prison he suffered like that.

In fact, according to Brian, this was something that quite surprised him about everything. Why did Julian suddenly come? Even though it was clear that all the work had been completed easily or had Lukas told Brian to do something again?"Is there any new work from Lukas, Julian?"Julian shook his head, seeing Brian who looked relaxed with an extraordinary happy expression.
