"Father, this is my new personal bodyguard, David Brighton. " Alesha said as she looked at her father.David nearly smiled brightly, but when he remembered he is a bodyguard and that bodyguards do not smile on duty, he held himself in composure. He stood expressionlessly and confidently before Sir Frederick Chadwick and the rest of the Chadwick family.

He thought with anger brimmed to his chest.David looked around the large hall, he was watching for any erratic movement around the hall as he did not forget his main purpose for accepting to be Alesha's proposal.Most especially, he scrutinize the whole tables of the great families like the Grant family and his own family who are sitted on the platinum banquet table close to the podium.He wanted to turn to the Wilson's table when he remembered his ex-wife, Ashley and her family were present.Out of nervousness, he Immediately stopped his gaze from going over to their side.However, where he stood was opposite the Wilson's table, so actually he could

" David vent inside."Why is this old lady always against me? " "Even if this bastard becomes Lord he would not marry your daughter, he's only fooling you ma'am. " He said with sarcasm.The whole thing seemed like a conspiracy after more people supported Lady Harriet for Jasper to become Lord of the consortium than before. He noticed his uncle Geoffrey Ace smiling quietly and he frowned beneath his eyeglasses."I'm sorry Lady Harriet but the rule of this great consortium stands. As long as Prince Ace is confirmed to have returned and also made us believed he has been watching the table, it's just a matter of time before he would finally unveil himself.

Hot airs surged through David's nostrils as he stared at his phone with rage formed in his heart.He sterns, knowing those were Jasper's men."He wants the golden pendant at all cost, what should I do? " He thought deeply." Firstly, he abducted my sisters when he did not know that I have already returned, why did he capture them? " He pondered.The randomly, he asked in the air; "And would he keep to his promise of releasing them if I decided to surrender myself for save me sisters?

David focused all his attention on old James Hunter who is now being consistent went him as he has been with his father."You said you remember their faces, who are they? " He asked him.Hunter bolted his hands, wanted to speak when suddenly a call ran into David's phone. Hunter stayed silent because of that as David excused himself to picked the call. He could have closed the call but when he saw that it was his CEO, Mr. George Henderson, he wanted to answer the call knowing what is also at hand at the time.Few days ago he and Mr. Henderson talked about the situation of the eradicators. Those evildoers had called Mr. George again and threatened him to sell the Brighton Group else they would kill him, they offered 10 percent more to the previous offer but Mr. George this time around angrily refused and cursed them powerfully under his bitter breathe for murdering his son.

"Those eradicators, they must have thought Brighton Group is owned by Mr. George Henderson, they are soon about to know who the real owner of the company is. They think they can ruin my company."

Paul is actually the twin brother of Peter the guy that prepared David's first-class flight ticket to Sterling city. "Boss, it's been quite a while. What do you want me to do for you, boss? " Paul said immediately he answered the call. "Paul right now, I want you and your boys to protect the George Henderson's family, some group of people are threatening their lives.
