"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

    "What?" He was shocked by all she said and filled with disbelief but since his power was still active he saw that it was true. "All I have to do is find her and everything is settled?" "Indeed, but if you fail then the bet is off and I promise you that the next time you see her again, she'll be getting married to someone of my choosing, so if I were you I would better hurry, thirty days isn't a long time" she smiled evilly. In her mind there was no way he could ever find Annabelle and she was willing to stake her pride in that. His injuries alone should take half of the days he had to find her to heal and once healed he'll have to search the entire world for her and there's no way he could possibly do that, Patience thought. 'No, thirty days is long enough, if I can just look deeper into her thought and find out where exactly she is then I'll be able to get to Annabelle in no time, just have to go dee— got something!' He thought, having managed to only get a name that's related to A

  • The Midnight Heir    CHAPTER 78: FRANKLIN DISOBEYING THE LAST ORDER

    Beaten, broken in all sense of the word and bloodied up, Anthony used all the strength he could muster at the moment to get himself back on his feet. He reached behind him, grabbed and was pulling his entire weight with one hand and help from the bars that made the Maple Mansion gate, meanwhile, the other held the phone to his ear which captured all the grunts and groans he muttered that caused Franklin on the other end of the line to get extremely concerned for his well-being. ["Young Master, what's wrong, did something happen to you?! Tell me exactly what happened and I'll make sure I fix any inconvenience you have!"] Franklin panicked with his voice picking up a lot of aggression and hostility in it. He could already imagine what Anthony's current state was and it enraged him to his core. Wherever he was currently and angry at what he was hearing through the phone, Franklin bashed something in his rage, most likely with his fist and Anthony was surprised enough by the sound to pau

    "What is it, did I say something wrong?" The driver asked, scratching the back of his head Anthony was looking at him in wonder for an awkward amount of time before he too smiled, lowering and shaking his head before taking his hand out of his pocket which he had planned to get the transport fare from. He chuckled "No it's nothing, for a moment I forgot that there are still some decent people out in the world. Anyway, thanks for the lift, I'll be leaving now"Anthony came out, still pain ridden, staggering his way towards the hospital while the driver watched him from inside the car before igniting the engine to leave."Hmm, who would have thought that even in a prestigious neighborhood, close to where all those rich bastards leave some people still get targeted by robbers. Hmm, well now that I say it out loud, I guess those places makes for the best targets since your chance of getting a rich person is high. Better be careful where I start driving to cause nowhere seems safe anymore

    Both paramedics, surprised and felt like they've just entered a very hot situation, seeing all the gigantic men that surrounded them from both sides and were looking down at them like they were food to be devoured both started to smile nervously, raising their hands in surrender and stepping back from Anthony and Franklin in front of them to try and get away. However, they weren't able to get more than two steps back because the remaining bodyguards from the other jeeps had come and blocked their way. So, as they looked up to see the figures whose bodies alone blocked the sun from shining on them and as a result surrounding where they stood with shadows, all they saw were the terrifying looks that the men who had scars on their faces had towards them. They both dropped their arms when it got so weak from fear that they could no longer keep them up, eyelids blinking rapidly and tears about to fall down their eyes. "I promised my Young Master that I would make whoever did this to him

    "Young Master, I think we should go see a doctor to find out if you're really okay or not. Maybe rest a little bit to get your strength back before we move forward" Franklin advised, looking concerned for Anthony's health but his words fell on deaf ears as Anthony kept walking in front of him until they got to the sliding entrance doors of the hospital, waiting for them to open. "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. She's been waiting longer than I have so what could a couple more minutes be?" Anthony said and then the doors open, blasting their faces with the usual hospital smell. Straight to the reason for calling Franklin here in the first place, Anthony walked up to the counter the minute he stepped into the building and the moment he got there, the nurse, same as the one from this morning, was so busy she didn't notice all the stares thrown at him until now and was surprised to see him standing in front of her. "Wait, it's you again!" She exclaimed, getting flashbacks of what happen

    With everything on this end taken care of, Anthony left the rest in Franklin's capable hands while he went off to go see Amanda in her room. One of the bodyguards had wanted to follow him but he declined because he wanted to go by himself but Franklin insisted, using his condition as the reason why he shouldn't be alone. So, not wanting to draw things out longer than it should be Anthony agreed then left. Meanwhile, the remaining two bodyguards also split with one waiting at the counter for everyone to return while Franklin and the last bodyguard followed nurse Juliet to the accounts department of the hospital to make the payment. No matter the figure they called it's to be expected that Franklin was able to cover it. Once in front of Amanda's room Anthony stood there for some seconds, nervous to go in while looking the way that he does but also because he knew that he could feel his consciousness slipping and barely being able to grab on to it, hoping to hold out long enough before

    Rushing to Anthony's unconscious body, first thing Franklin did was to wrap his arms around him while the three bodyguards bursted in as well, surrounding the two on the floor, whereas nurse Juliet stayed behind, outside the door, looking stumped at the sight "What are you doing, go get some help!" Franklin yelled at her with furious eyes, jolting her back to her senses before she ran to go get a doctor and other nurses to come help "Don't worry Young Master, help is on its way" Franklin tried to comfort Anthony, holding his upper body up in a way that ensures his neck and head was protected and not bent uncomfortably. """What should we do boss?""" The bodyguards offered their assistance but there was nothing they could do so Franklin declined, glaring specifically at the one who was outside the door and was supposed to protect Anthony and the bodyguard looking guilty about not being able to do his job as was expected but Franklin let it go and they all waited for help to come.

    “Good” Anthony smiled, not knowing why he was so relieved about Franklin being on board with the idea even though it had always been Franklin’s plan since they met again in the hospital earlier this morning.“All that remains is for you to get well first and maybe in like a week time from now we can g—“ Franklin said but was cut off“NO!” Anthony exclaimed which caused his ribs and diaphragm to hurt, so he paused, gritting his teeth, squinting his eyes and taking his hand there to soothe those area one after the other “A week from now is too far and I don’t have much time on my hand” he frowned “But Master Anthony, you need time to heal properly first. Don’t forget, your health is the most important thing in the entire world right now” Franklin looked concerned that Anthony was acting too impatiently.Anthony’s body and mind jolted in shock to what Franklin had just said, but, he decided to pay no mind to it, for now at least, saying instead “I’m healed enough as it is and a week is

    Abraham rose from his chair and looked at Johnathan with shock."Master Johnathan, what do you mean by that?! Are you seriously giving up on all of this and want to return home?!" Abraham asked enthusiastically.Johnathan was left speechless as he looked at Abraham and was grimacing in confusion.He never knew Abraham would react this way to what he said and it was like he was happy to hear him give up on the mission.Abraham grinned "Even though we've already done this much, it's not too late to stop all of this and return home Master Johnathan," he said then dropped on his chair.He immediately opened his desk drawer and searched for some documents which he started arranging, hoping to start packing what they needed so that they could leave this place first thing in the morning.Johnathan cleared his throat when he had seen enough."What is it, Master Johnathan? Do you have a cough? Sore throat maybe? Don't worry, I'll be right there to check what's wrong but first lemme put these d

    Johnathan looked at George and then at Abraham when he got close and he realized that he had forgotten a piece of vital information."Master Jo—" Abraham said but Johnathan quickly interrupted him."Not exactly. I forgot to tell you but this is Abraham, the person I called on the phone back at the bowling rink and he's the one sponsoring me so that I can attend Wellstone. I also call him my guardian like I told you" George looked at Johnathan skeptically then he looked at the luxurious apartment."So you're saying that none of this belongs to you but him?" George asked."Yes"George nodded his head and then started smiling."I thought so. No way a cool and nice guy like you comes from wealth. You almost gave me a heart attack there, not cool" George said.Abraham and the maids looked at George and they were all frowning that he could be talking to their master like this. He should show some respect.Seeing that they were going to lash out at George, Johnathan gave them a signal while

    Johnathan stared at this student, wondering if he wanted to get involved with him or not. He's already helped him wake up so should he involve himself beyond this point?In the end, he came up with his answer."I'm nobody," Johnathan said then stood up and stuffed his hands into his hoodie pocket."As you can see the party is over so you should start going him. That's why I'm doing" Johnathan said.The student looked around and he was disappointed that he missed the party. A reaction that Johnathan found strange because he was more concerned about that than the fact Bradly had knocked him unconscious."Whoever you are, thanks for waking me up. I should also start heading—" The student said as he was standing up but then his stomach started hurting and he crashed back down.The student grabbed his stomach and started wincing from the pain."What's wrong?" Johnathan asked him, worried that something else might be wrong."I don't know, my stomach just hurts like hell. Was it something I d

    "Hey Bradly, how come it seems like you know the Welfie on a personal level when none of us have ever seen him before?" One of the two students who came with Bradly asked.Immediately, a grin popped up on Bradly's face."What do you think worm, should I tell them?" Bradly whispered in Johnathan's ear and Johnathan jolted.Johnathan knew instantly what Bradly's plan was and what he was going to say to everyone and his heart started pounding fast."Listen, Bradly, don't say anything. Even though it was fake, we were still friends for—" Johnathan said but Bradly cut him off."Oh, you thought I was asking? For reminding me how I had to listen to your stupid complaints which made my brain melt all those time, watch this" Bradly said then stepped away from Johnathan and in the process, he brought out his phone and raised it in front of everyone.Bradly quickly went to the Bubble Tv platform, found a certain video, copied the link, and then sent it as a comment underneath the post on the scho

    Back at the apartment, Abraham was seated in his office chair and was going through some documents when his phone on the desk suddenly started ringing.Seeing who the caller was, Abraham hurriedly answered the call.“Master Zebadiah, good evening or should I say good afternoon in your case,” Abraham said.[“Thank you Abraham and greetings to you too. I was just calling to ask how are you and Johnathan settling into the apartment? Hope everything is to his liking”] Zebadiah said.“Yes master, Master Johnathan gave his approval of the place a while ago. He told me that he’s happy to have somewhere like this close to his school to hang out during days he wants to get away from school stress”[“That’s good to hear. And Johnathan, where is he right now?”]“Well, master Johnathan told me that his level-mates were organizing a get-together somewhere close by so he went to go check it out. He wants to make as many acquaintances as possible before he starts school officially”Zebadiah grunted.

    Johnathan was almost a whole foot taller than Zack was and because he wasn’t sitting and hunching anymore, his hoodie didn’t seem as big as it used to.Zack and his friends were starting to see that not only was Johnathan tall but he was also muscular and all three of him were speechless.“Hey Zack, don’t just stand there, teach that Welfie a lesson not to mess with people like us,” Someone from the crowd said.Even though he didn’t want to, Zack just had to show himself and there was only one way he could try to conquer Johnathan since he couldn’t attack him physically.“Listen here Welfie, as I said before, I’m Zack Griffin from the Griffin family and I’m sure you’ve heard of me. If you know what’s good for you, better let go of my hand right now or else you’ll receive a message from the school first thing tomorrow morning about your expulsion. Trust me, I can make that happen” Zack threatened then smirked.Johnathan shrugged “You can try but you’ll be surprised by the outcome,” he

    The reason they were treating Johnathan this way was because they hadn't seen him anywhere around the school before and that only meant one thing.In Wellstone, the kids from the richest family are given their admission first and they are also given top priority in everything else so they are the first to start the academic session.The school would never admit that this preferential treatment exists but it does nonetheless and it is usually the students who enforce it with their actions.The later your resumption shows your level of importance in the school and with that mindset, even though the school is massive with thousands of students, everyone knows who the important people to look up to and respect are.For them not to know Johnathan only means that he either is just starting his academic session now or isn't that important for any of them to know. This makes him someone under scholarship or someone who's barely able to attend Wellstone.None of those two options are good posi

    The more they walked, the closer and louder the music became and there was a door in front of them which had the bowling alley behind it.Johnathan could see colorful lights escaping from the cracks which let him know that it isn’t just bowling but there should also be a party happening in there.Whoever organized this must have paid a pretty penny to transform a regular bowling rink into a disco party but since they are students of Wellstone, the money should be considered a cheap change to them.Because of how close Johnathan was behind her, Shirley got annoyed and stopped walking."Why the hell are you following me?" She asked and Johnathan grimaced.He also stopped after hearing the ridiculousness of the accusation."Who said I'm following you?" He asked."You are so there's no use denying it," she said as a vein bulged on her forehead.Johnathan scoffed then he smacked his tongue."Listen here miss Vice President or whatever you call yourself—""It's Shirley, Shirley Price.

    Johnathan grimaced as he leaned closer, getting all up in her face."Oh really? You don't know her?" He asked and she avoided eye contact."If that's true then why don't I believe you? Something tells me that you do know her and you're lying to me to protect your friend" Johnathan said and Shirley got irritated."I told you I don't know anyone like that so get the hell out of my personal space!" Shirley got aggressive and pushed him away.Because of how tall and more muscular than her Johnathan was, her shove didn't really do much but he moved back on his own accord anyway."You said this entire place was reserved for the students of Wellstone, those were your own words, and that right there was where she robbed." Johnathan pointed at where he made contact with the girl with red and black hair."What other proof do I need to show that she was a fellow student of Wellstone and as the Vice President you know or at least have an idea of who she is" Johnathan pursed his lips."I said I do
