The Hidden Magnate: Cephas Walter Chapter 117 - Rebirth
“Take this as a big lesson, never to be rude to my daughter.” Mrs Marcus yelled at his face, leaving him in big confusion. He didn’t even know where he had gone wrong. He had only said yes to what Violet had said, now a bowl of soup was downed on his head. They had been pointing accusing fingers at him for making their daughter go to jail when she was clearly at fault. She had vandalized the store and ran away with it plus they didn’t hire any lawyer for her. Why is he taking the fall for it? If her parents had provided a lawyer for her, she would have probably gotten out on probation.“I am sorry,” he lowered his head in shame and annoyance since he couldn’t do anything in his defense or even confront “Come and seat my dear wife. Ignore the boy.” Mr Marcus signaled to his wife to return to her seat and she answered obediently.Cephas could not believe his eyes that his mother in law could listen to her husband in such a respectful way without complaining.Things had changed so m
The Hidden Magnate: Cephas Walter Chapter 118 - First day at work
118 Cephas parked the newly acquired BMW in front of the Marcus’ office building. He wondered where they had gotten all the money to fund this. The last time he had checked, they were in lots of debts.Unless his father had cleared it all for them. Why would he do that? Where had everything gone wrong? He was as confused as hell but only going with the flow.A slap landed at the back of his. “Did you doze off?” Violet yelled at him. “Get my bags and let’s get going. We are late already.” She said before alighting from the car.He picked her bags and went in with heer. As soon as they entered the company, the attention of everyone was on them.“Do you know who that is?” one of the staff whispered to another. “Who is he? Is he not the driver of the new CEO.”“You are so naive. That is the CEO’s useless husband. He is so broke and poor that she divorced him at first. Then he returned back to their family to beg for hands back. The CEO was so kind to take him back. If it were me I would

Violet walked into the Abraham's building, her floral gown complimenting her beauty, but she was a beauty without brains that was why she was resorting to sexual favor. Just then Abraham appeared.“I have been waiting for you.” She smiled at him and rubbed her body against him flirtatiously. Abraham winked Cephas before speaking to her, “Is this your husband? The one you took back?”“Yes, I didn’t know you listened to rumors too.” She giggled which irritated Cephas.The laughter wasn’t even necessary, she wasn’t acting like a CEO one bit, rather an escort. He missed Tyla, she knew business so well, unlike this empty head.“It is a very common truth that everyone knows so it would be strange if I didn’t know about it. Why did he come back to you? Is he so much in love with you?” Abraham sneered.There was mockery in his tone, Cephas was wondering if Violet could even pick it up, she was just interested in using shortcuts to get the investment.“If he loves me, that is his headache. My
The Hidden Magnate: Cephas Walter Chapter 120 - Good news
Cephas sat down in the hotel lobby then he received a call from Jose. He picked it up immediately.“I was just about to call you.” Cephas said as soon he picked the call up.. “How are you? How is Anta?” “We are good sir, I have good news for you.”Good news? Maybe it would lift his mood a bit. He had been feeling down since his mind crossed Tyla.“Did you find something?”“Yes, I saw that when you were in your teens, you had saved him money to invest in a local gold mine. Now it is worth billions of dollars. Which will be more than enough to bring you out of the Marcus family." Jose said with excitement in his voice.“Oh, that? I remember that. Zoro had told my father about it and he threw a fit saying I acted out of desperation but how did you know I got scolded for it?” Cephas asked confusedly.Even if they had found the investment papers , they were not supposed to know that.“I was looking through your business journal, that was how I came across the investment sir. I didn't

Back at the Marcus’ house.Mr Marcus was sitting in the pouch, reading some news on his phone. Cephas followed his ex-wife closely as she went to where her father was to greet him.Her male cousin, Lucas, was also sitting with him. “Good evening dad,” she hugged him.“Good evening Father.” Cephas said after her but he got snobbed.“Oh my baby, you look so tired. I called in to speak to you at work but the front desk said you were not around. I heard that you went to Walter’s corporation.”“Yes, dad but they are not willing to invest up to a billions dollars in us.”“How much did they offer?”“Two hundred million dollars.”“That low? That is twenty percent of the initial amount we requested for? Are they kidding me?” Her dad yelled on top of his voice. “Why did they say they can’t give us all of the money?”“Cephas, explain to dad.”“Okay. Father, the investment process is really strict in Walter's corporation. They don’t give it out to small companies or companies that don’t have g

“Boss, we have found who sent her those letters.” Jose said into the phone. Cephas had retired back into his cozy room then he put a call through to his assistants.“They were from your father. He had also lent her family some money anonymously.” Jose said.“I was just about to ask about how they got money to buy cars and two buildings. You did a thorough work, Jose. Thank you so much.” Cephas said he was grateful that they were still working hard for him even though their pay was low.Not many people know how to stick through thick and thin with people. Even though he had given them his house, they stuck with him. He had spent lots of money on his step sister even more than any other persons in their family had gifted her but she still chose to leave him, framing him alongside her mom and brother.That has made him very skeptical when trusting someone. “I hope the workload isn't stressing Anta and the baby? Are they good?” he asked with concern. He did feel guilty that Anta had
The Hidden Magnate: Cephas Walter Chapter 123 - Old classmates
123“Just the person we have been waiting for.” One of Cephas’ classmates said as he walked to their table.Cephas looked at them, they were on his clothes, he knew that they were there to spite each other and act like they were catching up.Rich people didn’t act the way they did, not that the rich do not judge people, they are the worst when it came to that but they did it differently. They didn’t usually look hungry as if they were going to bite their victim immediately.The class president spoke up, “We are still waiting for Mark, he said he is running late because of the job he just got, he went to receive the staff incentive that came with the job.”He didn't really have to add the fact that he went to receive an incentive as if he was trying to show off on behalf of Mark.“Mark got a job?” Cephas asked. “For what company?” he asked curiously because his company was also giving incentives to their new staff.“It’s a new investment company. I think he said the name was CW invest

124“How many drinks did you buy?” The class president asked the class gossip, Maliya but she could not say a word.“Can you afford the wine you picked?” Another person asked her.‘You people should stop acting like I took the wine alone. We all drank the wine so don't pin it on me.”“But you ordered the Rosé like you could afford to pay for it.” Another classmate told her. This fake life of a thing is something you should just leave in the past. It is now disgusting.”“Will you just stand there and watch them bully me, Mr Class president, you or Mark should be able to afford this easily.” Maliya the class gossip asked.“I am still repaying the loan for my mansion so you don’t expect me to pay for that hundred thousand dollar drink.” The class president said.“What about you, Mark?” Maliya asked.“He obviously just got his job and hasn’t received any salary. Do you expect him to be able to find that amount of money from somewhere?” Another classmate said on Mark’s behalf.“So none of
