The Hidden Magnate: Cephas Walter Chapter 119 - Leftover
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

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
The Hidden Magnate: Cephas Walter Chapter 125 - Key card
Early the next morning, Cephas woke up by 6am for work. He took his bath and got ready. He frowned his face as he opened his wardrobe again. He had to go shopping soon, or get one of his assistants to do it because the clothes that were in his wardrobe were not fit for someone of his standard. The loss of his clothes didn't affect him financially in any way, but it was very inconvenient because he had to wear these ugly clothes that weren't even his size. He was taller and his chest was broader than that of Violet's father. He finally decided on a pair of black trousers and a black shirt. He put it on, even though they were a little tight for him. He put on his black shoes and called Anta to tell one of his drivers to come and pick him up and take him to the office. "Good morning sir" she answered as she picked up. "Hello Anta, I need a driver to get me to the office this morning," He said. "Yes sir , what address should he come and pick you up from?" She asked, already calli

Chapter 126."Good morning sir, '' Anta said nervously, as they got into the lobby. She hoped that Cephas didn’t get mad at the security. She had delivered the access key card to him. That was why she didn’t bother to notify the security team."Good morning, Anta. Did you do character screening for the people you employed at all? Those rude humans might run my company down faster than I think." He said calmly.“What a way to ruin my morning!” he thought in his head. It’s been a long time since he had been openly disrespected."I'm sorry about that,I see that they don't act that harshly. They are very good at their jobs and I know they won't let us down." She assured him."I trust your judgment tells him to tone the strictness down.""I will sir. So what's on my schedule for today? I need to return home as soon as possible before Violet and the other members of the family arrive.”“Yes sir. Why are you dressed this way sir?” Anta as soon as she noticed his clothing. They didn’t look li

Glancing at the caller ID, he felt a surge of anxiety wash over him as he recognized the number belonging to the hospital where his father was being treated.
