"You heard him right because he wasn't stuttering." The other man replied.Janet could not believe her eyes neither did Bryan. They were both looking at the security guards with their mouths open.“What? Is that how you guys behave in this place?” Janet became very furious and decided to raise her voice. Her loud voice caused some people around to turn their gazes on them.“What is the meaning of this insolence? In fact, I need to see your manager immediately.” Janet barked as she stood up to glare at the men in front of her.“I'm going to get you guys fired for this embarrassment you've caused us.” Janet kept fuming and raising her voice. She was hoping that the people around would hear her complain and side with them. She wanted to be pitied so that the people would blame management.Bryan joined her in standing. He opened his mouth and began to speak with the guards.“Look, I think it's just a misunderstanding. Why would the owner want us to leave when we're also customers in this
Bryan's outburst made Arthur start laughing. While Arthur was busy making fun of them, Janet and Bryan kept exchanging glances.Janet, who was very furious, decided to look away. She didn't want to face Arthur after her last encounter with him.When she heard about what happened to Bryan and his mother, she decided to approach Arthur, probably to be on his good side again. Janet knew that Arthur was now in charge of their Milling company. She also knew that he was no longer poor and was pretending to be a mall security guard for reasons best known to him.“Are you sure you're not talking about me, my dear step brother. Or should I say, ‘ex step brother’?”Arthur spread his hands wide and walked around the place with a wide grin on his face. He was enjoying making fun of them and their anger was giving him so much pleasure.He walked right back to where they stood and turned his gaze on Janet. “My dear Janet. How does it feel to be disgraced publicly?”Janet tilted her head and refused
“It's nothing Mom and I don't want it to bother us. Moreover, that's not our problem. We just have to think of a way and take back everything from Arthur.” Bryan replied to his mother and began to walk away but his mother held him back.With a deep sigh, she pleaded with him. “Please, don't get yourself into trouble. It'll only jeopardize our chances of taking back all that we want.”Bryan nodded his head and started to the room. Even though he was embarrassed at the hotel, he was grateful to come home to meet his mother in a calm state. It was because of her nagging that he had to leave the house.Bryan made his way to his room to have a rest. It had been a long day and he was tired.Meanwhile, Arthur decided to pay his grandparents a surprise visit that night. Moreover, it was already the weekend and he had planned to visit them. Maybe it won't be so bad to sleep over at the place and spend the whole weekend with them.“Drive me to the Ramons Mansion.” Arthur instructed Dario who f
Carl and Vanessa Ramon could not believe their eyes when Arthur showed up at the mansion. They weren't expecting him until the next day. However, he came unannounced and was even planning to spend the whole weekend with them. They were so excited, especially his grandmother “Arthur, My grandson. I'm so happy to see you here.” Grandma Vanessa could not get enough from hugging him.She held tightly onto him for a long time like her life depended on it. Arthur, on the other hand, felt awkward from the excessive hugging.Unlike his grandmother, Carl hugged him swiftly and pulled out.“Nana and grandpa, how have you been? I can see that you're getting stronger by the day.” Arthur teased his grandparents who began to laugh hard.“You can say that again.” Grandma Vanessa acknowledged and went to hold Arthur's hand. “Come on, let's have dinner together.”Grandma Vanessa who was pale and skinny when Arthur first met them had become full of life. Before Arthur came into the picture, the old
Lifting his head, Arthur took his glass of water and had a sip before turning to his grandma who had been stealing glances at him while eating her food.Arthur cleared his throat and said to her, “I-I used to have a girlfriend but she ended the relationship when she overheard my conversation over the phone.”Grandma Vanessa dropped her cutleries.“What did say over the phone that she overheard and ended your relationship with her?”Grandpa Carl also paused eating and listened with rapt attention.“I lied to her about my identity and she found out when I was on a call. I had earlier excused myself and didn't know when she came to the place where I was answering the call.”The old couple exchanged glances but didn't say anything.Grandma Vanessa thought that her chances of having great grandchildren were now slim because of Arthur's revelation. She didn't know how it happened so she decided to ask Arthur.“So, um do you love her so much?”Arthur nodded his head in response.The old lady
“That’s a great idea. I miss my baby so much and the least I can do now is to visit her graveside. At least, that will make her happy wherever she is.”Arthur nodded his head. “She'll be so delighted to learn that we've all reconciled.” He replied back with a smile.Grandma Vanessa patted him on the shoulder and stood up from the chair. “I'll be going to my room now. When you're ready, just tell the maid to show you to your room. Or you can choose to sleep in any room of your choice, it's your house after all.” With that, grandma Vanessa left Arthur alone.Indeed, the house was big enough and contained a whole lot of rooms which were all furnished. Arthur could choose to sleep anywhere. And about changing his clothes, that was not a problem. There were a lot of spare clothes which were all new and untouched.“Good night Nana.” With a satisfied smile on his face, Arthur spoke to the receding figure of his grandmother. Indeed, he made the right decision to come and spend some time with
Arthur was speechless. He didn't know how to react to the information which his father had just revealed to him.Should he be sad or angry?For a moment, the place was dead silent as none of the men breathed a word. What could Arthur say at that moment because he was confused.When Gregg saw that Arthur was quiet and he was also unable to read his expression, he broke the awkward silence with a deep sigh before continuing.“Um, Arthur. I know that you're not happy with this decision of mine especially after what they did to you. I'm also not happy with them but I have to do the right thing.”“Rosaline is still my wife and I adopted Bryan as my son so they still have rights in my house. Yeah, it is me who called for it so I have to finish what I started.”Arthur only nodded his head. There was no way he could go against his father. The mother and son could be scumbags but they were still the McCains. They were all still related.Gregg saw Arthur nod but was not convinced that he had ac
As usual, Arthur returned to work the next morning and was approached by Nick. The latter wanted to find out about his relationship with Jesse. “How's it going with you and Jesse? I hope she's been able to forgive you?”Nick had once approached Jesse on behalf of Arthur. Although Arthur didn't send him to intercede on his behalf, the latter felt it was the right thing to do. He was only trying to help someone he considered a friend.What would happen when Nick finally realized the truth about Arthur? When the man learns of Arthur's real identity, his approach towards him would definitely change.Unlike Jesse, Nick might not be angry at Arthur. Instead, he'd be happy he treated Arthur well. At least, that would cause Arthur to consider him for a better job. Indeed, Arthur had it in his mind to reward the good man.He was a true friend indeed.“Um, it's still the same as there hasn't been any improvement. Jesse looks like she's made up her mind to end everything with me but I won't let
