“What? Who? Who are you?!” snapped Elvan.The man looked Richard up and down, then spoke with a tone of contempt.“You’re the Nelsons family’s son-in-law who relies on your wife’s family, a worthless man who isn’t even worth as much as a dog. Honestly, I’m only helping you find a job because you’re Dharia’s ex-husband. But it seems like you don’t need that help anymore, do you?”Everyone burst into laughter. Elvan then continued, “Oh, by the way, that electric bike was bought with the Nelsons family’s money, right? Since you’re divorced now, the assets should be clearly returned.”As soon as he finished speaking, Carmen suddenly appeared and snatched the electric bike keys from Richard’s hand.“Hand over the keys! Elvan’s right. This electric bike was also bought with our family’s money,” she said with a sneer.“Haha....” Richard laughed and shook his head. Then he looked at his former mother-in-law and said, “I never intended to take anything from your family. Just remember this clea
The voices were so loud and powerful. They sent chills down the spines of everyone present, leaving them stunned.People stood frozen, mouths agape, eyes wide open in disbelief. They could only stare at Richard in shock.“He... he’s the son of a wealthy man?”How could that be?“Isn’t he supposed to be poor and destitute? Didn’t I hear earlier that he’s a son-in-law who only knows how to live off his wife? How could he have such a high status? Am I seeing things wrong?”In truth, the reality before them was clear.No. They weren’t seeing things wrong.Richard was the man they were looking for. The man they mocked and ridiculed was actually the heir to a wealthy family with assets in the trillions.Thud!Richard descended the stairs, placing his hands behind his back. He stood in front of hundreds of bodyguards, who were still bowing. Unless he told them to rise, they had to remain in a respectful bow, and none dared to stand.At this moment, even though Richard was still dressed in hi
“I looked into the issue concerning the Nelsons family from fifteen years ago and found out that on the 18th of that time, Dharia celebrated her birthday at Citadel Hotel. There was no kidnapping whatsoever.”“So, the person you’re looking for isn’t Dharia.”The last sentence he heard was like a thunderclap to Richard. He had given up hope on the girl and decided to return to Ligos city, only to suddenly hear this news. The girl he had been searching for was apparently not Dharia. This meant he had been searching for the wrong person!“It can’t be...” Richard whispered.With a furrowed brow and a look of disbelief, he said, “At that time when I found Grandpa Nelsons, he himself said that the person was Dharia. And the date was also the 18th. The Nelsons family only had one daughter, so it’s impossible that the person wasn’t Dharia.”One thing Richard was sure of was that the girl from fifteen years ago indeed came from the Nelsons family!The head servant, noticing the change in Richa
Richard put his phone back into his pocket. The man didn’t even look at the receptionist. He just stared fixedly at the elevator door.The receptionist felt even more convinced that Richard was just pretending to call someone earlier.With his shabby appearance, how could the man possibly know their General Manager?“Security guard!” The receptionist called two security guards not far from him and said, “Take him out of here!”Without saying much, the two security guards immediately walked with big steps towards Richard.At the same time!The door of elevator number three suddenly descended from the twenty-first floor. Richard just stood there.The two security guards who were ordered by the receptionist earlier reached out and wanted to hold Richard’ shoulders. Meanwhile, the receptionist remained standing in her position with a disdainful expression on her face at Richard.Right at this moment, the elevator had reached the tenth floor!The sixth floor!The third floor!Just as the h
Everyone’s gaze instantly turned to Raylon. The man had just received the documents delivered by his secretary. He then handed the documents to Richard and said, “Mr. Richard, here is the data regarding Dharia’s whereabouts on her 15th birthday.”“Additionally, there are also photos from her birthday,” Raylon added.Richard busily flipped through the pages of the documents given by Raylon. He then said, “In other words, on the 18th, Dharia was never kidnapped at all. And that means she is not the girl I’ve been looking for?”“Then why did Grandpa Nelsons say that Dharia is the one I’m searching for?” Richard asked again.“Mr. Richard, I apologize in advance. But have you ever considered this? You are so honorable. You are the heir of the Dwayne family in Ligos city. Besides that, you also control the underground forces of Rio Dio Country,” Raylon said with a serious expression.“Not to mention you have other very impressive statuses. However, just based on those two points alone, who
Elvan, who had been waiting in the Diamond Group lobby to sign a contract with Mr. Raylon, instead encountered Richard, whom he considered a parasite.Seeing the man, he felt something was missing if he hadn’t humiliated Richard yet.“Why do you look so angry? Did you get rejected from being a security guard here?” Elvan asked sarcastically. “Besides, I was kind enough to offer you a security job at my office, but you rejected it and insisted on finding a job on your own. It turns out the office you chose is Diamond Group?!” Elvan continued, ignoring Richard’s sharp gaze.“Your attitude alone is unfit for being a security guard here. At the very least, you should have formal training for the profession! And you? Did you even graduate from junior high school?” Elvan’s condescending words continued to belittle him.“Move aside! I don’t have time to entertain you!” Richard snapped coldly. Elvan’s eyes widened when he heard the man’s words.“You’d better watch your attitude now! Do you
“What?! What did you just say?! Canceled?! How could this happen? Didn’t Mr. Raylon agree yesterday?” Carmen was shocked. The question from the woman only worsened Elvan’s already terrible mood.“It’s all because of that damn Richard! He cursed me, causing the partnership to fall through! See? It really happened!” Elvan shouted angrily.“Damn the birthday party! You all are just bad luck!” The man did not see himself as being at fault at all. He only blamed others and shifted all the burdens onto them.He did like Dharia, but compared to money, she was meaningless to him. Elvan ended the call abruptly. Meanwhile, Carmen remained silent, staring at her phone and muttering,“Elvan and Diamond Group canceled the partnership?” she whispered.“What’s going on? The Quinlan family surely won’t invest with us. Mr. Raylon won’t come to the birthday party, right?” Carmen continued with a tone of despair. The old woman’s heart shattered into pieces upon hearing the news.“Damn Richard! The man
“You want something? I’ll give it to you right away! One thing you should know is that I never lack female company in my life. So, you’re quite lucky because you’re one of the chosen ones!” said the man.Of course, Aurora knew that someone as wealthy as Ghalen would never run out of female company. But she had never felt she was worth being valued so cheaply!“I’m sorry, Sir. I can prove myself to them with my own abilities. So, thank you for your offer, but I’m not interested. Let’s continue our discussion about the investment,” Aurora quickly declined.Ghalen’s smile vanished from his lips. With a cold expression, he said, “Are you belittling me?”“Of course not. I know Mr. Ghalen is impressive, but I’d prefer to prove my worth through my own skills. So let’s get back to our main agenda,” Aurora replied, struggling to hide her disgust towards the man.The man’s face flushed red as if he was holding back his anger. He poured a glass of alcohol and handed it to Aurora, saying, “Sure,
