"Give me that," Veronica snatched the phone from her son and read the bold words displayed on the phone screen, her eyes widening as she did this. Gasping slightly, she looked up, "Honey! It's true! Pinnacle Entertainment has indeed gone bankrupt."Douglas removed his reading glasses and remained silent. Julian ruffled his hair and spoke thoughtfully, "First, they didn't win the investment bid last night which was quite strange. And today, they have declared bankruptcy. Father, do you suspect foul play?"Douglas had the urge to shake his head at their curious gazes. Didn't they understand that all this is happening because someone from Pinnacle Entertainment must have offended a big shot at the investment bid last night?But who could the big shot be? There weren't many people in Valoria Prime city who could bring Langston down like this. And the only person that came to Douglas' mind was—Knock!Knock!The consecutive knocks on the door disrupted his thoughts. He looked up as his wif
Even a raging storm couldn't be compared to the anger welling in Savannah's heart. These were people her father had dedicated his entire life to.Heck, she had even felt guilty all these years that she dragged the entire family into mud when her scandal broke out. These were the same people who ridiculed and mocked Kian the other day.Now their behaviors suddenly changed when they discovered he wasn't the useless son-in-law they thought he was. Their sudden familial affection was just a joke!A calm voice suddenly broke through her troubled thoughts. "We won't go if you don't want us to go."She looked up and the anger in her eyes faded when she saw Kian resting against the wall. She hadn't even heard him walk in. Why did he come after her?"How long have you been standing there?""Long enough to hear the invitation."Savannah sighed and suddenly felt ashamed of her grandfather's words. That old man was willing to bootlick his grandson in-law if it generated money."If you don't want
But just as this young man extended the car key to Kian, someone smacked his palm. He looked up with an aggrieved expression only to see his elder brother stepping forward with a fawning expression. "Cousin in-law, please forgive my little brother. Take my key instead. I just bought a Lexus LC 500 yesterday." Upon seeing what the two brothers were doing, other relatives also stepped out and stretched their keys, talking one after the other. "No, a Jaguar XJ is more suitable for a Lord like you." "How about the Audi RS Q8 I just ordered? Do you like that model instead?" "If you want, my darling nephew, uncle will sell the company under his name and get you a Maserati instead!" Within a minute, several key fobs of many powerful exotic cars were presented before Kian. He just had to reach out and choose one. To the Wilsons, it didn't matter if they had to sell their companies or properties to get him a car, it was nothing compared to gaining the favor of a multi billionaire
"Grandfather, what is this?" Savannah looked skeptical as she collected the document and flipped the pages over."That is the ownership agreement of your art gallery. It's the same as you left it. I don't have anything else more valuable than this to give you."Savannah's fingers trembled as she stared hard at the document in her hands. Those years when she was kicked out, wasn't the gallery handed over to Jasmine? Now her grandfather was actually giving it back so easily."It was a mistake to take away this gallery from you but now, it will return to the rightful owner. Hurry up and sign the documents," Grandfather Wilson motioned with a smile.Jasmine sat by the side with a happy expression but she was actually clenching her fingers under the table in fury. How could her gallery be given to this bitch?Wasn't she always the favorite grand-daughter? Everything suddenly changed and now Savannah is everyone's favorite all because she managed to snag a wealthy tycoon.Jasmine looked at
"Hahaha!" Edward burst into laughter and wiped off the tears from the rims of his eyes. "Nephew in-law, you are trying to test us, right? You are trying to see if we are reliable. That's a funny joke!" After hearing his words, the heartbeats of the other Wilson's family members returned to normal and they also laughed heartily. For a second, they almost had a heart attack. This son-in-law is really commendable. Is this how billionaires act? Meanwhile, Kian's eyes squinted; it seemed they didn't take him seriously. "Nephew in-law," Another relative called out. "Five hundred million is not a small investment. We assure you. If you help us, we will show you just how trustworthy we can be!" "Yes! We will be your most reliable ally!" Another affirmed and everyone voiced their agreement one after the other. "Please, forgive our previous behaviors. We are not usually like that." "We were blinded by our greed. From now on, you are one of us. We won't treat you in that manner ever
The Wilson's family had spent a lot of money in order to please Kian and gain his favor. But turns out they had been bootlicking a fake all along! Furious eyes turned in Kian's directions, wishing they could kill him on the spot. Edward, who was still kneeling in front of Kian, had the ugliest expression. Just thinking of how he had swallowed his pride and lowered his head to a younger man made his blood boil with rage. "The heck!" He stood up furiously and pointed at Kian. "Why the fuck were you pretending to be him when you are just a fake?! Why were you even acting like an important person? You are not even worthy of being compared to an animal! How dare you?!"As he spoke, some saliva escaped from his mouth and splashed on Kian's cloth. The latter's lips curled up in disgust and his icy eyes rested on Edward."Watch how you speak to me.""What are you going to do huh?" Edward laughed angrily and cussed. "You fucking bastard!""I am the representative of the big tycoon. Can you r
"Brother-in-law, please, you have to help me! I have no one else to turn to. Don't turn my family and me out during this trying period."In the Sinclair's family home, Langston was kowtowing in front of Thomas Sinclair. His wife, a similarly fat woman with undesirable facial features, was kneeling beside him.Langston looked nothing like his previously haughty self. He seemed to have lost weight overnight. Not to mention the rough stubble on his face and his modest appearance. For him to have lowered himself in front of his brother-in-law, the situation must be dire."Langston, you couldn't even handle a small family business. What do you want me to do?" Thomas frowned. Not many people know that Pinnacle Entertainment was a subsidiary company of the Sinclair's family business. It was given to Langston after he married Thomas' younger half-sister. "Brother-in-law," Langston reached forward to touch Thomas' feet. "I didn't do anything, I swear! The business was thriving well under my
"Mom—" "And you have to do as I have said tomorrow morning," Ida cut Savannah off. "I'm giving you two till tomorrow to get divorced and put an end to this sham—" "Mom!" Savannah shouted coldly, interrupting her mother's words. Her beautiful face had a dark expression as she spoke. "Just be quiet. He's my husband and that is never going to change. I won't divorce him so stop making so much noise. You'll frighten Noah." Ida was so furious she couldn't come up with words to say. When she did, she spurted, "You, fool! It's for your own good. Are you so blind you—" "Shut up!" Nathaniel finally intervened. "I don't want to hear another word from you." Ida stormed off angrily, grumbling as she left. She even slammed the door behind her loudly. Noah shook and burrowed into his mother's embrace. "Father—" "I'm tired. Please, take me to bed," Nathaniel didn't give Kian any face. It was clear he didn't want to speak to him. Savannah dropped Noah but still held him tightly as she wh
