The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 69: TEN SECONDS
He needed to get the female forensics officer closer to them over there so that they wouldn't have to actually come into the restroom to carry out their own part of the plan. This is because they would be seen by Officer Sully and the other officers that came here with him and even though they were also busy looking out the window and down at the crowd of onlookers, surely they would still notice if someone new walks into the restroom.So, Anthony took the initiative and got closer to her but not getting so much into her personal space as that might break how enthralled she was in their conversation while leading her backwards until she got closer to the door and to Tina and Jerry who were there, waiting for the right moment to strike."You really think this will work?" Jerry who was concerned, hands prepared to gently pull the bag from the female forensics officer's hand asked Tina who was the one Anthony was communicating with using hand gestures."He said that you and her partner b
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 70: MANAGER’S APOLOGY
"So, cat's got your tongue or something? Why aren't you saying anything?!" Tina who was annoyed at Anthony's lack of response to their questions started to get all up in his face, trying to get him to say something about what she wanted to know, but the man carried himself like he just wasn't going to.Jerry began to laugh nervously after seeing how the two who were like ice and fire and her antics was beginning to draw attention to them. Since the police were already leaving because Officer Sully had done his little interview with the reporters, Tina was like the next attraction that kept people around instead of going back to whatever they were supposed to"Umm, babe, I think you should calm down a little" Jerry who looked nervous tugged on her shirt, trying to get her to notice all the eyes she had brought on them but she was too angry to notice."Why should I?! After the interesting but still nerve racking experience we had just to help him out with whatever mess he got himself in
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 71: WHO RESERVED THE GRAND BLUE?
Walking deeper into the restaurant and the only sounds he could hear were those being made by the other staff in the kitchen area, who all sounded extremely busy like they were preparing more than they usually do. So, not having put on his uniform yet, he went there to ask what was happening."The manager said we'll be having an important guess show up here any moment from now and that all of us should be ready to cater to their every need and demands, you especially since this will be your first time working a shift for someone of that importance" Casey told him before pushing him out the kitchen so that he goes and get dressed for work. He was already a few minutes late as is but he's pardoned because the restaurant was under reservation and no customers to complain.Inside the staff dressing room Anthony was left to his pondering thoughts while he wore the vest part of his uniform "Hmm, I wonder who that important person is. I tried reading Casey's, Michael's and the other workers
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 72: ANTHONY QUITS
Julius chuckled "Would you believe me if I said that I missed you? It's been a while since I last saw a pig so it got me thinking out you" he smirked Hearing what he had to say Anthony scoffed while he rolled his eyes "Looks like you have nothing else better to do and I have no use speaking with the likes of you so when you're done, do me a favor and get lost" Once everyone heard what Anthony said they were all shocked at his brazenness to speak to someone as important as Julius in such a way. Casey and Michael looked like they about to lose their minds and Marilyn appeared angry with her hands clenched. "I'm so sorry about his behavior Mr. Maple, I'll make sure to sanction him once this is done" bent over in front of Julius, Marilyn begged, almost groveling. Once she got really close in order to give her apology, Julius smacked his tongue in contempt, sneering as he looked at her while she was pressing her head on his table and kneeling to beg him but then realizing that his reac
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 73: THE TRUTH ABOUT ANNABELLE
Julius grabbed the vest from his person and dropped it on the table, in front of his empty plate "And who says you can just quit without my permission? You're going to be fired today but don't think that means you get the opportunity to twist it into a resignation, I won't allow that" he said which was when Anthony who had taken the first step to leave looked ahead and saw the door get blocked by two bodyguards which appeared to belong to Julius, meaning that Anthony was trapped until Julius says that he isn't. "Really?" Anthony stopped then rolled his eyes "I'm sure the manager here agrees with me that your resignation is declined and since you're still on the job then do your work and clean this up" Julius said then extended his hand out which had an empty wine glass in it and Casey rushed to fill it with the wine she had with her, for him. Once filled he brought it closer, stirred it, smelled it, tasted it then poured it on the table next to where he dropped Anthony's vest "No—
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 74: ANTHONY GOES BERSERK
Enraged, wanting to get closer and physical to the person who made him so, Anthony reached underneath the table and single-handedly tossed it to the side. Everyone who watched this feat were in awe as usually a table of that quality gets arranged by two people who're the same size as Anthony or one person who's very big and muscular like Marilyn who's fat rather than muscular. However, thinking back this isn't the first time Anthony had displayed feats of strength that's beyond what he should normally be capable of, he did the same thing when he was trying to be stopped by the two paramedics but they couldn't do anything against his strength. Julius' bodyguards who were by the door and were facing this way were also shocked when they saw Anthony get extremely aggressive. This translated to them that their client was in danger, so as the table went crashing into the one beside it, both bodyguards rushed inside, wanting to get to Anthony in time before he does something to Julius. "Fu
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 75: MAPLE FAMILY’S TRUTH EXPOSED
"There you are!" Anthony exclaimed, walking to the base of the stairs to wait for Patience while she looked down at him with disdain filled eyes, strutting her way down the stairs "I'm here to—"Before he could even say his reason for being there Patience stopped him with a hand gesture "I know why you're here, don't patronize my intelligence, boy" she said before finally getting to the bottom to stare at him right in the eyes "Julius told me but then said he'll be here, waiting to return a favor to you once you arrive but I'm surprised you can before him"She paid intent attention to all the wounds Anthony had from head to toe before scoffing at him. He looked pathetic and inelegant in her eyes and she was sure letting him know that by how she acts.Anthony shrugged "I know shortcuts""You do now, do you? I guess dogs are good at finding their ways through alleyways and gutters with the rest of their rabies infested pack, so it's no surprise" she rolled her eyes"So, since you know e
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 76: A BET
"How would they also take it finding out that the reason you people were able to hide the truth is because you sold your eldest granddaughter into marrying the head of the Finance Regulation Board so that he keeps your shameful secret out of public records?" At the end he went back to stand where he used to be, in front of her"I'll only say this once, tell me where my wife is or else I go public with all of this" he tilted his head right Patience who had clenched her hand "Is that a threat?" She asked."Yes it is and don't take it lightly because I always mean what I say"Having thought for long enough, she sighed, releasing her clenched fist after getting calm "I always knew you were an ungrateful dog who'll bite the hand that feeds him when the time comes, but it looks like you've forgotten who the owner of the playground is" she frowned He grimaced "What's that supposed to me—" he was cut short again"Guards, come here and get this dog, seems he hasn't been taught enough lessons
