Cory and Anna were the first to enter into the store. A couple of the sales agents were already walking towards them to attend to them. Just in, Harry and Sheiley pushed the door open and walked in. This caused a stir in the store, which resulted in the sales agents looking up to see who it was. As soon as the sales agents saw Harry, their eyes brightened at once. They all ran away from Cory and headed straight to Harry. They looked really and absolutely excited to see Harry. They swoon over the new couple. It was only one sales agent that remained with Cory and Anna. Anna was really pissed off when this happened. She knew what her status was. If she so wanted it, she could call her father right now, and he would send men down here. Men who would pull down the whole store and set it ablaze. Cory noticed her reaction and saw that she was fuming. He squeezed her hand, which he was still holding. She took a glance at him. He smiled softly at her. When his smile hit her, her brain
The majority of the people could not look Cory in the eyes. They were shocked to the ends of their wits. This person who had just roared at Harry wasn't the Cory that they used to know. This person looked like an entirely different person. Harry was in pain as he crouched, trying to hold both of his knees at the same time. It would seem as though his bones had been broken into smithereens. It would seem like even if he made an attempt, he wouldn't be able to get up on his feet. The pain and horror loomed over him, dominating every sense of his being. Cory walked closer, and Harry was doing all he could to man up. "How dare you do that to my nephew?!" Howard yelled at Cory. Sheiley was all over Harry this time. There were tears in her eyes. She was touched to the very bones. She was shaking, scared that something even deadlier could have happened to him. "Where is he?" Cory stopped when he got to Harry, asking the question loudly, but gazing at Howard instead. Howard was lost by
The phone was pressed to Cory's ear as he dialed the number. "If you can really call Lord Theo, then I can hold my birthday party on the Eagleville Floating Tower." Harry made fun of Cory. He was obviously and absolutely enjoying this moment. This must be the moment he has been looking for every since the humiliation Cory subjected him to earlier. "You little peasant pretending to know Lord Theo! Do you think I am one of those fools who can be easily fooled? Huh?! Talk to me, you piece of shit!!!" Harry barked at him. Cory was still on the phone. "And this actress that you brought with you! How dare you be so dumb?!!!" Harry took a glance at Anna too while he took shots at Cory. Cory still hasn't taken the phone off his ear. "Aren't you calling him anymore?! Why is it taking time? Is he not answering the phone? Is he not answering your call? Why is he not answering your call? Because he doesn't know who the fuck you are?!!!!" Harry barked. "Aren't you tried of this charade, hu
Harry felt like disappearing when he looked at the screen of the phone. If he had a way, he would pray to the floor to pave beneath him, and then he should be gobbled up never to be seen again!"Lord... L-lord Theo..." He couldn't even find the guts to call the name. He was wetting his pants. He didn't care that people were looking at him. He didn't care that he had a name to protect. He didn't care that acting that way would make people make fun of him in days to come. At this moment, the only thing he could see was the ugly fate looming over his life. He wished there was something he could do to avoid or stop it. "Don't be so quiet." Cory added, a broad smile filling every corner of his face. "I-I-" Harry was still having a hard time choosing the appropriate word. "Young man. How are you doing? Are you doing fine?" Lord Theo addressed Harry with a mild tone. Harry was stunned by this. He had thought that Lord Theo would bark at him or say something that would end his life righ
No one understood what Cory was trying to say. Not even Lord Theo. He was just as clueless as the rest of the people. "Although, this clown here, Harry Clarence, the son of Simon, pissed me off. I can handle him all by myself." Cory continued, hardly taking Harry into his gaze. "What I want from you is to handle the matters of the elderly. I really don't enjoy being rude to elderly people." Cory added, itching his brow. "What do you want me to do, son? Whatever it is! What did Clarence do? Do you want me to tear his company to shred? Then, bury his son in a swamp next to his burnt body?!!!" Lord Theo had no chill as he rolled the fiery words out. "A few years ago, Simon used his political influence to usurp the right of one of his family members. I mean, this is the very store I'm currently in. This store belongs to someone else. But Simon gave the store to Howard because of some women's issues. And now, Harry, Simon's son, can come here and become a nuisance to his uncle, who has
Simon Clarence jumped on his feet. He tried to balance his frame on his weak legs, but he was too weak to hold that position. He wanted to sit back down, but his wet pants were becoming all sticky. So, he couldn't do either. He decided to lean against the chair as though he was sitting and standing at the same time. "My eyes can't be playing tricks on me." He muttered repeatedly as he tried to draw an inference. He didn't want to be too jumpy, yet he didn't want to take this lightly. "Is this really Lord Theo? This is Lord Theo!" While he was asking the question, he was also trying to find an answer for it. He didn't know which to do. Why would Lord Theo call me? What have I done? Does Lord Theo have my number? I have been sending him emails all these while. Did he read my emails? Before I walked into this office, I asked Devin to check the mail again for the one millionth time. Yet it was not read. How come Lord Theo is calling me right now?So many questions were flying around i
There were a couple of people gathered around. Harry had his phone pressed to his ear. He was in tears. There were tracks of tears lining both sides of his face. He was looking at the front, yet he wasn't looking. Anna and Cory were standing right in front of him. There were a couple of students surrounding them. These students want to get to the root of everything. They wanted to see where all of these would end. Harry started to shake his head. He looked so pale and weak. Shieley was right behind him, crying her eyes out, too. Well, a few minutes ago. After Cory and Anna had left the store. After Lord Theo had had a FaceTime with all of them, and Harry had run after the couple, Harry had asked them to wait. Cory didn't want to wait in the first place. He didn't think he had any business with Harry anymore. He had sorted everything and had brought an everlasting shame on Harry. There was no need to give a death blow and bring fatality to the situation. But Anna had insisted that
Simon Clarence had just arrived at the location that Lord Theo had sent to him. He was yet to wind down the window of the car. This was where the map had led him to. He was shaking in his seat. His legs were still very much weak. "You should get off here, sir. This is how far I can go." An elderly man who was behind the wheels said. Clarence took a glance at the man. It was the cab driver that brought him here.There was something to be careful about regarding what the man had just said. He didn't know what it was yet, so he needed to get down first. He paid and climbed down. When he climbed out of the car, he realised that he was standing by the roadside. He was about to walk to the other side so that he could talk to the driver about this location. But before he could even make the turn, the cab had driven off. "Hey!!!" Simon was on top of his voice, but the driver didn't wait. Simon was confused as his gaze lingered on the cab that drifted away. There were a couple of things
