The Rise Of The Lost Heir Astrian

Chapter 3

It looked like they were discussing something important because they had serious expressions on their faces. Thyme immediately identified the forty-year-old man as the richest man. He gave a long bow, as he was a tall man with a strange aura that Thyme couldn't figure out. Thyme greeted them with a "Good morning," but got no response. The man's voice came out cold and dangerous when he said, "You can go." This immediately sent shivers down Thyme's body, as he couldn't believe he was talking to the richest man in the world. The man's voice came out loud again, saying, "I said you can go." Thyme flinched but quickly raised his head and walked away, thinking, "I thought he was a nice person, but his real personality seems different." Thyme tried to find the kitchen since there were many rooms and he didn't want to see the man's true wrath.

The forty-five-year-old woman who was next to the man just kept staring at him the whole time, which made Thyme even more nervous.

A beautiful young woman emerged from the stairs and saw her husband talking to her so-called sister-in-law. She walked past them as if they were invisible, and then she selected maids to escort her out of the building.

"Can't your wife show some respect? She behaves as if she's everything. She should know her place. This is pissing me off," the woman said, rolling her eyes. Ray just smiled and assured her, "Don't worry about that sis, I'll talk to her about it." She scoffed at his reply and asked, "Now, when are you going to start processing it?" They continued talking, with her face becoming serious again.

Thyme finally located the kitchen, which was big and beautiful. He walked up to a lady and asked, "Hey, I'm new here. What do I have to do?" All eyes were on him, but when he turned to look at the chefs, they were already minding their own business. He shook his head in disbelief.

"Oh, the new chef?" the lady asked, and Thyme nodded. "Okay then, let's test you in the food section first," she said fluently. Thyme nodded, hung his bag in a corner, put on an apron, rolled up his sleeves, and washed his hands.

An old lady got out of a car and adjusted her dress. She looked around to see if anyone was following or looking at her, and when she saw no one, she entered a store.

"He has been waiting for you," the store owner told the old lady. She nodded and entered an inner room. She walked ten feet forward and spotted a staircase leading down a large hole. The old lady walked down the stairs until she finally reached a secret room. A young guy sat on a chair, rubbing his temple impatiently. When he saw the old lady, he stood up and said, "I've been waiting. I don't want anyone to be suspicious." He spoke quickly, and the old woman reassured him, "Be calm, boy. No one would suspect anything." He nodded and she asked, "Have you found out about him?" He replied, "No, but I found out that he's still alive." He sat back down as she sighed. "Then why hasn't he come to fight for his--" she began, but he interrupted her and dropped the bombshell, saying, "Because he wiped his memory." She screamed in response, and he explained, "Yes, twenty years ago, after everything, Kelvin wiped off his memory so he wouldn't remember anything." She couldn't believe what she had just heard. She pointed her shaky finger at him and said, "Yeah, this makes sense now. Kelvin wouldn't want to kill his brother because he knows that he is the only one who knows where the documents are and he could find out more about his company." The young man now understood, and the old lady rubbed her temple, saying, "Hmm." She suggested, "What we need to do now is find Astian and keep him safe." The young man agreed and added, "Yeah, and also find Master Bruce's old driver. We need him, too." The old lady stood up and said, "That's if Kelvin hasn't gotten to him first," to which the young man nodded. "Let me take my leave first. Remember to wear your mask and be safe. I can see that he's really searching for you," the old lady smirked. They both laughed and then she left. Soon after, he left as well.

Lady Rose entered the tall building with a lot of groceries in her hands. Some maids rushed to help her with them. She was the oldest and most respected worker in the building. She walked in and saw an old woman sitting on the couch, having a discussion with her son. Lady Rose approached them, and they stopped talking as soon as they saw her. "Good day, Lady Agnes," she greeted.

Apparently, Old Lady Leone was the eldest woman in the Leone family and the supposed stepmother of Bruce. After his mother passed away, Ray and Hannah were born, making them her biological children. Lady Leone had always hated Bruce and made his life miserable after their father died. "Oh, long time no see," Lady Agnes faked a smile. Lady Rose scoffed and fake a smile too, saying, "I can see that you haven't been sacked. Aren't you too old to do this job again? You should take care of yourself." Lady Agnes mocked her, to which Lady Rose fired back, "Aren't you too old too? You should at least sit at home and not lash out rubbish from your mouth."

"What!" Agnes yelled, and Rose smirked. "Watch your mouth. How dare you talk to my mother that way," Ray sneered. "What are you going to do, huh?" Rose rolled her eyes and walked away. Agnes was frustrated that Ray had done nothing to defend her, and she yelled at him, "Can't you do something? Why did you stand there and watch her abuse me that way?" Ray remained silent, frustrating Agnes even more. She stormed out of the building, yanking her bag, and Ray tried to catch up with her but she was already gone. He went back inside with anger visible on his face.
