As they arrived at the local jail, Alex quickly locked him up and then returned to meet with Victor at his office and, reconvene on the plan"Alex, I need you to keep Mr Apollo here for as long as possible. Our contact's asking us to meet tonight at The Lakeside restaurant, if Mr Apollo refuses to cooperate and give up the deeds to his mother's fortune, we're going to take it from him" Victor spoke in a very menacing toneHowever, before Alex could talk, he quickly interrupted him "Mr Brady, whatever you do, do not put your hands on him while he's in custody. We can't give that little brat any edge over us in court, so whatever he says to bait or trigger you in there, just ignore"Victor was getting increasingly annoyed after Dennis called his bluff, and his brows creased as he spokeNobody had dared to offend him before, not so much a pompous brat like Dennis. He knew that the heir to the Apollo fortune had deep ties and connections, but he was undeserving of such wealthAs his thoug
Victor was getting increasingly annoyed and his face flushed red after getting criticised by DeshaunDeshaun walked out, found one of the guards, and signaled to them. On seeing the Mayor, the young officer strode towards him, confused as to why he was there"Mr Mayor," he said and bowed courteously "Where is Mr Apollo being held? I demand his immediate release" Deshaun said sternlyThe young man stuttered in shock. It wasn't his place to release criminals or suspects, but he could not also deny a direct order from the Mayor, especially one concerning such a high-profile man"He...he's at the left wing of the jail sir" he responded immediately, still puzzled"Take me to him!" Deshaun blurted sharplyNot letting up so quickly, the young police officer nervously uttered "I'm sorry Mayor, Mr Apollo is not allowed to have visitors yet","And I'm the Mayor" Deshaun interjected coldly, pursed his lips, and said softly, placing his hand on the officer's shoulder"Let me put this in a way yo
When Alex heard what Dennis had said about the Governor's daughter, Celine, he sneered as he shook his head in disdainWhat did that bastard mean saying it was all Celine's plan?He pondered deeply, without getting any answers"Hey, what do you mean?" He asked forcefully grabbing Dennis's handDennis smiled as he turned, he knew mentioning Celine would trigger Alex, and even show him how little he is compared to him "Celine never loved you. You lost your job and threw your life away for nothing. You think you met her first so she was yours, but the truth is I've known her longer than you Alex, and you were just a game" he said without any regard for Alex's feelings.Alex immediately got angry and said "Mr Apollo. I knew you were crazy, but I didn't think you'd be delusional as well. Do you really expect me to believe such nonsensical lies? Or are those just what you tell your twisted mind so you can pretend as if what you did to me didn't ruin my life? Celine would never play me?"Hi
Dennis's uncle, Jon Apollo walked into his office that afternoon and his secretary rushed toward him immediately"Welcome sir, there's someone waiting for you in your office," she said worriedlyAs soon as she spoke, Jon immediately stopped and turned toward her, glaring at her"What do you mean someone's waiting for me in my office?" Jon asked with confusion on his face The young assistant was so frightened that she responded immediately "I'm sorry sir, I tried to stop him but sir, he was the Mayor" she announced still in shockAs soon as he heard those words, Jon's face turned green before a smirk casually appeared on his face "Deshaun" he muttered, turned to his assistant, and said"Shift my appointment with Mr Lawson. Tell him the Mayor came visiting",The girl nodded although seeming confused, "Alright sir, I'll give him a call right away"Jon smiled coyly, rubbed his palms in anticipation, and then strode toward his officeThis was not far from what he expected. He knew it was
After he met with Jon, Deshaun spotted Victor by the elevator as he was leaving. Uncertain that it was him, he squinted his eyes staring at the manAt the moment, Victor had his arm open wide waiting for an embrace and Deshaun stared keenlyHe saw an elegant lady wearing an expensive Chanel, with a wide grin plastered on her face approach Victor and then hug himFrom the distance, Deshaun tried his hardest to make out who she was. He knew every major person in this city, but somehow he could not recognize this womanDeciding to find out for himself, he composed himself and walked towards and greeted them warmly Victor gritted his teeth in dismay when he saw Deshaun, wondering what the man was doing here"Mr Mayor, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were following me. We need to stop running into each other like this" Victor sneeredDeshaun smiled upon his remark and extended his arm to the radiant and beautiful lady in front of him, completely ignoring Victor, which only made the
Left to Dennis, he wouldn't have attended his uncle's party, but Deshaun was not compromising. He insisted on having Dennis attend the management and eventually managed to convince him He went on the internet and searched for nearby boutiques that were not so popular. Maintaining a low profile was of prime importance now, and after searching for a few minutes, he found a nearby boutique, and then quickly texted Deshaun to meet him thereGivon's Boutique was a blend of luxury and casual wear. The hotel was designed in such a way that the entire left wing of the building was designated for luxurious clothes, while the right was for traditional every day to day wearBut because of how exotic and grand the left wing of the boutique was, many people who shopped in the casual attire section sometimes pretended to shop for luxury items just so they could put on the clothes and take pictures for their social media brandBecause of this, the boutique manager was particularly vigilant of shopp
The sales agent immediately seemed terrified and pointed at Dennis. She felt for sure that her boss was going to scold her and tried to avert the blame on Dennis instead"Sorry ma, but this man came in here asking for Michael Kors collection. I tried to tell him to scramble that he couldn't afford the necklace but he kept insisting", she explained, but before she could continue further, Lydia interjected and chided rudely"Are you telling me that this loser can afford a Michael Kors suit? Are you blind? Do you really think that a man like this has eight million dollars? If you're blind, tell me now so I can fire you from this store right this instant"From her observation, Lydia concluded that Dennis was just a poor loser who could not afford even some thousand-dollar clothes from the casual attire sectionShe turned her gaze towards Dennis and sneered in disdain "If you're here to cause trouble please leave the store, otherwise you can apologize to my employee and she can show you to
Lydia was utterly stunned. She could not accept the fact, but it had unfolded right in front of her eyesWho was this man really? What was his real background? How could he make the Mayor bow before him like a lowly peasant?In a shocked daze, Lydia mumbled "How, how is this possible?",Everyone else was just as confused and took out their phones to capture the scene, but Deshaun's bodyguards immediately cleared the scene, giving them only a view of Dennis's backDennis smirked, then turned to Lydia and said "You mentioned you've never seen that much cash before, take a good look at it now","Yes, I see it. I see it now..." Jane muttered defeatedly "Do you remember our deal, Ms Green?" Dennis suddenly askedLydia's face twitched in dismay when Dennis brought it up. She didn't think that under no circumstances would he have the eight million dollarsAfter hesitating for some moments, she then nodded gently "Yes, I remember" She was hoping that Dennis would not hold a grudge against h
