CHAPTER FIVE
Atkinson was astounded. The lady was here for another thing. But what made him look marveled was when the lady pointed at Roman.
Referring to Roman as Mr Cooper. He flashed out a smile, “You've really made a mistake, Miss! The Man over here is just the Rodriguez live-in son-in-law. He doesn't deserve this respect you are giving to him.”
He continued, “His name is Roman and only lives on his wife's wealth. Don't you see how useless he is. He doesn't deserve any of the respect you are giving him.” Glaring at Roman maliciously, he muttered.
The lady didn't give a response. She really thought He doesn't deserve to know who Roman was.
She turned to the men behind her, and commanded in an angry tone. “What are you guys waiting for? Teach all of them a lesson they would never forget.”
Atkinson and his underlings were terrified. Staring fearful at the men in black suits, Atkinson doesn't have the urge to bring out his gun and shoot at them.
They are definitely going to overpower them easily. They don't have any weapons to go against them.
Atkinson cowered in fear vehemently, and shouted at the top of his lungs, “Don't you dare touch me? Do you know who I am? My sister is the CEO of the Rodriguez’s Group, and likewise her boyfriend, Harry is the CEO of the Greenwood's Group.”
He continued, “If you guys tried to touch me, you would be in great trouble.”
The men in black suits didn't find his words threatening, they ransacked him, and brought out the pistol in his pocket.
Afterwards, they bundled him and his underlings into the nearby bushes while they carried out the lady's order.
Atkinson screamed in fright, “Help me, Roman! They are going to wound me! Help me, Roman!”
Roman scoffed at his words, and spoke out in mockery. “Don’t beat him too much! His family still needs him, he is still useful!”
“Follow Mr Cooper's order! Just give him a little beating!” The lady added, giving out instructions to the men in black.
After some minutes, the lady invited Roman to her car, “Please, Mr Poroit, can you come into the car?” She asked in a polite manner.
Roman creased his brows as he felt curious, but he nodded his head slightly, “Let's go!” He had agreed to her because she had helped him and he's sure she wasn't here to cause him trouble.
Without forgetting the taxi man, he threw some bundles of cash at the man and walked into the car.
The Taxi man gushed happily and thanked him gratefully as he watched the cars move out of sight.
In the car, Roman turned to the lady and asked, “Who are you? I don't think I know who you are!”
The lady chuckled slightly, “Sorry for my rude manners. I'm the CEO of the Brown Pharmaceutical Corporation. We produced all kinds of medicine, either herbal or Synthetic!”
She continued to say, “But somehow there is a problem. An important person took out medicine and the condition got even worse. And we've tried our best to cure the person but everything was in vain.”
“To save the company's reputation, we must find the cure by all means or else the company will be liquidated.”
Roman frowned slightly. At the mention of Brown's corporation, he knew who they were instantly.
He had once saved the Lord of Browns, so he really knew them.
Looking at the lady keenly, he asked for her name. “Please, can I know your name? Who are you to the Brown's family? How are you related to them?”
The lady turned pale at his question. Her face was red, and she responded, “I'm Angelique Brown, the granddaughter of the Brown's family.”
Some years ago, he attended to the Brown's family, and cured their granddaughter. The Brown's family decided to marry her to Roman.
Roman had refused the offer and left the house.
Roman frowned slightly, and asked hurriedly, “How do you guys find me? How do you know my location?”
The lady, Angelique Brown, put a smile on her face, and gave answers to his questions.
“You don't have to worry about that! We tried looking for you but it wasn't possible. After so much trouble, the Butler of the Cooper Family has to reveal where you are to us!”
“If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have found you!” She concluded while she fixed her gaze on Roman.
He had disclosed his location to them, hoping Angelique Brown could convince Roman to come back to the Cooper Family.
It's been long since they set their eyes on him. He had left the Cooper Family for a couple of years.
Roman gave out an exasperated sigh, and rested his back properly on the seat.
He knew the Butler was for the good of him and also that of the family but he wasn't ready to return home.
At that moment, his phone rang out from his pocket. He checked the caller and saw it was Jennifer.
He asked in a cold tone as he accepted the call, “What happened? Why are you calling me? We don't have anything in common anymore!”
The moment he spoke finished, the loud voice of Jennifer boomed out of the phone. She was really mad and angry.
“You useless thing, how dare you beat my brother like that. What crime would he have committed to deserve this kind of torture. You are biting more you can chew, Roman!”
“You are nothing but an unfortunate being. Without the Rodriguez Family, you can't survive. I will make sure you beg for forgiveness.”
Roman just stared at his phone and gave out a sly grin. Jennifer was the one who had given Atkinson the order to beat him up but their plans failed and fell upon them.
Now, they are calling him an ungrateful being and claiming Atkinson doesn't deserve that kind of torture. What if they had carried out their plans successfully? What would happen to him at the moment?
CHAPTER SIXAfter listening to Jennifer's raging words, he gave out an exasperated sigh. He didn't want to argue anything with her, he just cut off the line. Jennifer fumed when she saw the call was aborted. She turned to her Mother, “The bastard just cut me off! Can you imagine, Mother?”Jessica Rodriguez snorted angrily, “Roman needs to be arrested. He had offended us and surely, we must take revenge.”“Try getting some thugs and get him captured.” She added, gritting her teeth furiously. Jennifer nodded her head in response, “Sure Mom! I will get it done. Atkinson must have his revenge on Roman.” She sneered. In a luxurious mansion, people were gathered in one place. Worries were displayed on their faces. The Lord of the Xander Family was unconscious on the bed. The Xander Family had worries and fear on their faces. They were anxiously waiting for someone, they felt restless. One of the Xander family members spoke out in rage. “Where is she? When is she bringing the cure? We
Chapter 7 “What's wrong with my father, Dr McKenzie? Why the sudden change? Is he dying?” Reuben asked anxiously, he was panic stricken at the moment. Everyone was also scared, as murmurs filled the room. “Is the Master going to die? Please Dr McKenzie, save the Lord!”“What is going on, doctor?"“Nothing must happen to the Master!”The room was tense as everybody's hearts were overpowered with anxiety and fear. Dr McKenzie was also confused at this stage, he didn't know what to do . Roman shouted, “Calm down everyone. The Lord will be saved, you don't have to worry. His condition isn't beyond cure!” Everyone glanced at him in a confused manner. Did he really know what he's saying? They tried to ridicule him but he wasn't important at the moment. He felt their gaze on him, so he continued, “The drug injected into the Lord's body reacted as a poison. That causes the changes in the Lord's body and if he isn't treated right now, the old man might die.” Everyone exclaimed, “Poiso
Chapter 8Upon hearing the words from Reuben, the Doctor suddenly felt agitated. He cowered in fear, he knew what the Xander's family could do. Anything coming out from them, they really mean it. Quickly, he stuttered as he tried to beg for forgiveness. “Please Mr Reuben, I'm sorry for the mistake. It won't happen again, my injection hasn't worked on him. It was Roman who treated the Lord.” He claimed, trying to appease Reuben. Everyone was glaring at him disdainfully, and wondered how he could be shameless to claim what he didn't do. Obviously, his apologies won't work. Reuben shot him a deadly glare and said, “If you've claimed you're not good enough to save the Lord's life, it would be better and okay." He paused, and looked into his eyes sternly, “But you tried to stop Mr Roman from saving the Lord just only to save your dignity. Do you think I will forgive you for that? No!”“Please Mr Xander, accept my apologies! Just use this as a warning to me. It won't repeat itself." Dr.
Chapter 9Angelique Brown was overjoyed. Roman had just accepted her invite, and it's something to be happy about. She muttered excitedly, “Thank you Mr Cooper for accepting my invite. You don't know what this means to me.” Quickly, she brought out his phone and put a call to her assistant about convening a press conference. It hadn't rang twice when the assistant's voice was heard. "Good day, Miss Brown! I saw your call.”“Yess! Lord of Xander had been cured. I decided to convene a press conference, and a business party afterwards. Can you do that?” Angelique Brown muttered. The assistant's voice hinted with surprise, “Really ma'am! Wow, I'm so happy right now! When will the press conference come up?”" Tomorrow will be fine! Yeah, we should do it tomorrow!” Angelique replied while nudging at Roman for his response. Roman also nodded his head in response. After some minutes of discussing about the conference, Angelique ended the call, and turned to Roman with a broad smile on he
Chapter 10“And who are you to tell me that, Katherine? You're Not the owner of the estate, are you? Why are you disturbing me?” Roman asked coldly. Jennifer's friend, Katherine, was shocked by his countenance. In the past, Roman wasn't quite bold but here he is, talking back at her. She turned to the man in the car, “Can you hear what he is saying? An ordinary person can't be granted access into the estate, right? What the hell is he doing here then?" She asked. The man who had driven them into the estate was a salesman of this estate. He felt nervous as he saw how cheap Roman's clothes are. He responded, “With the cheap clothes he has on, I'm sure he is not a resident of this estate” A sly smirk appeared on her face, “What? You aren't a resident, so what are you doing here, Roman? Don't tell me you are here begging for shelter or food!” She muttered. “, you aren't supposed to be in here, don't tell me you lure your way into the estate. Are you trying to steal from someone?”“T
Chapter 11The onlookers stared at Roman in disgust, they called him some names that aren't honorary. He was labeled as a thief, a Liar, a Pauper and all sorts of. Roman couldn't help but get angry at those words. He clenched his fist angrily, and tried to suppress the anger he felt at the moment. He is intolerant to insults. He won't let them go scot free. He's surely going to make them regret their actions. He watched them keenly, and continued to tolerate the insults and humiliations. His expression had turned stoic, and he was glaring at the onlookers, especially Katherine and the salesman maliciously. Among the bystanders, an old woman and her husband were glaring at Roman contemptuously. “Can you imagine the nonsense he is sputtering out of his mouth?" The Old woman said disparagingly to her husband who stood beside her. “Right? I'm stupefied that he owned the No. 1 Villa! Did he know how much the house was worth? He had claimed the Villa shamelessly. He really needs to be
Chapter 12 Everyone's mouth gaped open helplessly, and stared at the poor and shabby man, Roman in front of them. Katherine's expression instantly changed and she immediately gave the Administrator a hard glance. She walked over and asked in a harsh tone, “What the heck are you saying, Mister? Are you claiming he is the owner of the No. 1 Villa? How possible is that? He is a live-in son-in-law, and was married to my friend.” “How can he afford a Mansion worth over 150 million? I don't believe that, you should check the profile thoroughly, there might be a mistake!” Katherine added while staring at Roman with contempt. The Administrator shot a dangerous glance at the lady. She made him look like he was lying. “What do you mean there might be mistakes? I've been working for the company for the past ten years, and there's nothing like that. You should apologize to Mr Cooper for the humiliations!” The Administrator muttered. The Old woman chimed in furiously, “Why should we apolo
CHAPTER THIRTEEN The Old woman's face contorted with rage, “Who are you trying to fool? If you are able to get into the No. 1 Villa, We will get down on our knees and apologize to you!” She was really pissed by Roman’s confidence. Roman sneered, saying, "Are you sure about you? I mean, do you all agree with the woman? You have to get on your knees and apologize to me!” Without any hesitation, everybody nodded their heads in agreement. They really want to know the end of this matter. “Okay then, Let's move to the No. 1 Villa!" He said smugly, and turned to the Administrator, "The matter is about getting solved. You don't have to call the Head Office! I will sort this out myself!” The Administrator nodded his head, and replied. “Once again, I'm sorry about the humiliations you passed through in the hands of your neighbors. They don't really know who you are. I apologize on their behalf, sir!” He bowed his head as he pleaded with him. Roman smiled sheepishly, and looked up at t
