The Rise Of The Penniless Son-in-law CHAPTER 152
Victor knew he had to be smart in outplaying Xavier. He woke up in his mini-furnished apartment and landed on the chair. His body was sore from the pain Lawrence and his men had inflicted on him. He knew Lawrence was no mere human, judging from what he had done to him. His phone rang, leaving him shocked. He looked at who his caller was and saw it was Xavier."Did you have the package delivered to its destination?" Xavier asked in a harsh tone. A voice sounded more like a boss.Victor knew his role would be lost if he said no. "Yes, I will have the money sent to your bank account in a bit." Victor replied, cutting off the call. His mind raced as he thought of how he was going to pay a sum of $23,000,000. He rubbed his hand slightly over his rough hair and shouted in anger. Lawrence must have taken it. Victor thought and immediately called Alex. "I need to pay for the supply; Xavier is going to know something went wrong if I don't pay up." "Calm down and talk to me, Victor. What is thi

Victor immediately heads out of Xavier's house. He had been instructed to leave when Xavier said he would like to speak with Charlotte alone. Victor was about to move when he accidentally fell down, revealing a part of his injured body to Xavier. "Are you sure you are alright?" Xavier asked, seeing the bruises on his body. Victor nodded, but he saw something that caught his attention. There was definitely an underground space beneath the main living room. "That must be where Rubby is." He said this to himself as he drove out of the luxurious mansion. He brought out his burner phone, and as he was about to call Alex, a mischievous smile etched across his face. Victor knew Alex had been nothing but kind to him, but he wasn't going to risk his life for their plot. "Hello," Victor's husky voice was heard clearly as Alex walked out on Miranda. "Talk to me, Victor." What is it?" He asked with his hand, rubbing his temple. "Who the hell is Charlotte?" Victor asked, trying to keep his eyes
The Rise Of The Penniless Son-in-law CHAPTER 154
A young lady in her twenties brought a cup of beer and placed it in front of Alex. He gulped down the beer and looked at Victor. "I was once married to the Wills family, and I was a nobody. I had to run their mini-errands, and I was looked down on. Nobody wants to give me a chance, and they hate me. All I had was my mere worthless life." Alex said, sadly reminiscing about old memories. Alex took a deep breath, the bitterness of old memories surfacing with every word. "The Wills family was my ticket to a better life, or so I thought. I married into the family, thinking I could prove my worth and that I could be more than just a pawn in their grand schemes. But from the moment I stepped into their world, I was nothing but a servant in their eyes. Although I had lived with Claire sincerely, she did too, not until I got married to her."Victor's interest was piqued. "What did they do to you?"Alex's eyes darkened as he recalled the torment. "They treated me like dirt. I was given the wor

Alex exhaled slowly, rubbing his temple as he thought about Agent Miller's words. He knew taking matters into his own hands could backfire, but waiting for the legal process seemed too slow, especially with Paulina's life in danger. He needed a solid plan, something that would give him the upper hand without compromising his principles. He looked up like he was gazing into the stars."Alright, Miller," Alex finally said. "I'll keep you updated. But we can't just sit around. Xavier and Charlotte are planning something big, and we need to stay one step ahead.""I understand, Alex," Miller replied, his tone softening. "We'll do everything by the book, but we need to be smart. Gather as much evidence as you can, and I'll work on getting the necessary warrants. We also need to have the Commission trapped in this case. It could be a huge victory for us."Alex nodded, even though Miller couldn't see him. "I'll do that. Thanks, Miller."After hanging up, Alex stared at his phone for a moment

Xavier's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint in them. "Those firearms are all legally owned. I have permits for each one. If you have any real evidence against me, produce it now or leave. Besides, this will be the second time you are going to storm my house trying to find what is not." Alex knew they couldn't find anything since Agent Miller wasn't out in time. He manoeuvres his way into Xavier's ansion. " Ah! I didn't know you were here either." Xavier said with a smirk on his face. Alex stepped forward, his jaw clenched. "We're not leaving until we find what we're looking for." He looked at Charlotte, who was seated with her cold tea. She looked at Alex and smiled. She was indeed enjoying the show. Xavier laughed with a cold, mocking sound. "You can search all you want, but you won't find anything that ties me to anything illegal."Miller interjected, "We have more than enough to keep you here for questioning, Xavier. Possession of this many firearms, even with permits, raises quest

Agent Miller looked at Alex, whose gaze was fixed on the burning house. "Do you know where the deal is taking place?" he asked, looking at Alex with the corner of his eyes. "And why do you think I would know that?" Alex replied as his gaze bore into Agent Miler. "Because you seem to know everything these days. You even know the house was having an underground." Miller looked away. " Really? Do you think if you have done your job, I will be snooping around the Richmond mansion?" Alex asked with anger. "Come down now, kid. You don't want me to put a cuff on that wrist. I have told you we are doing this the legal way. My way!" Agent Miller looked at Alex and saw Xavier approaching with his wife Sandra. "You caused this, and you are going to be paying soon for it." "Is that a threat?" Agent Miller looked at Xavier's face. The tension was high as both men stared at each other. The walking sound of the fire department getting closer. The men relaxed their gaze as Agent Alice got closer to

Roseline was beginning to miss Alex. The fact that her father had a brawl before he left made her unsettled. She looked at her father as he made a phone call in his study room while she was seated on the couch beside him. Richard stared at Roseline, knowing she had something to talk about. He dropped the call and looked into her face. "Okay, spill, why are you looking so dull?" He asked, going through the system in front of him. "Why do you hate Alex so much, dad?" Roseline asked, changing her seating posture. "Honey, I don't hate Alex. I am just watching out for you. Ever since your mother died, it has just been you and me. I can't afford anything happening to you, and I don't think Alex loves you. He is just using you to get to me." Richard shifted his gaze away from the monitor and looked at Roseline. "What do you mean when you use me? Do you know anything about Anthony Bailey's death?" Roseline asked, staring at her father. "Are you interrogating me now?" Richard has his face

Charlotte and Claire were seated, and things were beginning to get a little bit fair. They were able to afford the things they wanted courtesy of Xavier, who had been sponsoring their extravagant lives. "It is a good thing Ruby disappeared for good. I was thinking of how I was going to pay him back his money." Charlotte said with a smile on her face, making Claire and Henry look at her with disdain. "Mother', is money all you ever cared about? Where is the human feeling in you?" Claire shouted with disgust. " What? Don't tell me you are talking back at me. Do you think about your feelings when you had Alex work as your maid all the time and even had a child that wasn't his own? Where were your human feelings then?" Charlotte shouted at Claire and looked at Henry.The room was tense as they all stared at themselves without saying a word. "Benjamin would be released today." Claire cleared the air, looking at Charlotte, who didn't flinch. "Then go and pick him up." She barked, looking
