Dylan arrived at the Harper's Residence and since he was an expected visitor, he was immediately allowed entrance. He knocked on the door and it opened, only to see Madeline giving him a big smile.He managed to smile back a little despite his bad mood and she allowed him to enter before closing the door."Seriously, what are you, brother Dylan? I knew the necklace you gave me was authentic since you said so but it's way too expensive, no offense." She asked in curiosity.Dylan turned to look at her with his hands buried in his trousers. "Yeah, I bought it."Her eyes brightened. "Really?"Dylan nodded. "Yeah. I came across millions of dollars, it was given to me by Lord Owens. I used some of it for my aunt's surgery and others for the necklace, …"At that time, Madame Sharon and Hermione were almost off the stairs, overhearing what they were saying."... Sadly, it got rejected by Hermione but I expected it. I didn't toss it over to you because she rejected it, no. I gave it to you bec

Dylan's aunt was successfully cremated and placed in a columbarium where he was to pay her his last respects.He placed the bouquet of flowers he was holding close to the urn and brought out a harsh breath that says a lot, probably the fact that he was short for words.

Such beautiful, kind and caring woman gone just like that, and people as heartless and selfish like Madame Sharon still get to live.He's gonna have to make life unbearable for her.

He blinked and looked away with a sigh. "Thanks for coming her

Since it was a dinner meeting, at half past five, Dr. Lydia and Dylan arrived at Rainbow restaurant. There were not many customers inside but the cars that were parked in front of the restaurant were all high-end luxury cars worth tens of millions.The restaurant is the second most expensive to dine in Flame City.He was dressed too ordinary so he wouldn't be able to fit in with the people there. Although he doesn't mind, Dr. Lydia could.He looked at Dr. Lydia who just stood beside him. She was dressed in a beautiful red bandage gown which accentuated her body figure and perfect makeup on her face. He had to admit, she was beautiful.He found himself checking her out and he immediately looked away with an awkward cough. "Your high school mates must be really rich, Dr. Lydia. This restaurant is top-notch and expensive."Dr. Lydia pouted. "The guy who invited us here is the richest among us. Always trying to show himself. He's my problem here so please help me deal with him."Dylan jus

Dylan looked away from the food on his table and looked at Matt. "I'm the owner of this restaurant."They all burst out laughing. They laughed so hard that it felt like their throats were about to fall off.Dr. Lydia looked at him in shock."Oh, I know what you are. I know what you do. You're a comedian!" Someone said while laughing."But even for a comedian, he should have been dressed more properly than this." Someone added, also laughing.Kevin who was sitting beside Dylan hit his shoulder while laughing. "Man, you're so funny."Dylan stared at how they all laughed at him. His answer was unbelievable so it's understandable. He was tired of being looked down upon anywhere he goes so at least, even though they get to know, they won't dare spill it out.It's funny he now has their lives in his hands but they don't know about it. It will teach them not to insult anybody they meet."You can as well say you're the owner of Apex conglomerate." Mark jeered.Dylan looked at Mark, he was bes

Sean was called into his grandfather's study room but he was still absorbed in his thoughts. His heart was still heavy after the night of the banquet. He couldn't stop thinking about the humiliation he faced, the confusion about Dylan. It made him weak and anxious.He sat on the couch still thinking. It wasn't even about Hermione but about Sean. He couldn't come up with a possibility about why Lord Nigel Owens called his good for nothing cousin Master. It was hilarious and ridiculous at the same time."I went on a two-week trip, dad, only to come back and hear what happened. Seriously, why did you have to take credit for it?" Dwayne Clifford, Sean's father who stood beside his father, Greg questioned as he looked at his son worriedly.The old man justifiably replied, "Well, I didn't know Lord Owens was gonna be there. Who would have thought he'd be there just because he was signing a billion-dollar contract with Harper Enterprises? I was doing good for your son, my grandson.""Well, i

Madame Sharon stared with wide eyes at the newspaper to see that New Age technologies have skyrocketed to one point eight billion dollars in just two days and she gasped, standing up. "Oh, my God." She turned toward the stairs and shouted, "Hermione! The newspaper has arrived!"She then looked back at the newspaper still in shock. She felt very happy, especially after calculating the gains from their investment in the company. It was too good to be true.When Hermione told her about it, she was at first not in support due to the risk but it was actually worthwhile. With the gains, they could uplift Harper Enterprises.She smiled knowing they were going to have to invest more so they could gain more.Hermione rushed down the stairs toward her mom. She was all dressed for work and ready to go out. "So what's the status, mom?"Madame Sharon showed her the stock graph pattern that was drawn on the paper. "It rose, Hermione. It rose!"Hermione covered her mouth with her hands in shock and

Dylan sighed as he remembered the discussion he had had with Cleo after getting back to the hotel he was staying. He had nowhere else to go since he didn't feel like going to the Harper's residence or doing anything for them. He wanted things to calm first. At least, he wanted them to think things are getting better.He sat down, still in thought about the information he received from Cleo… He went back to when she made the confession."It was just last month. There was a girl in the accounting department named Ravenna Hastings. She's a feisty one and she seems to have a problem with Madame Sharon then. According to rumors, there were times Madame Sharon and Ravenna were caught arguing but no one really knows what they argued about. Then one day, she fell off the stony stairs in the building and died. It was an accidental accident according to the cops."Remembering those words, he was caught in a web of different opinions and beliefs. If the mother of Ravenna confronted Madame Sharon

"No. No. No. NO!!" Madame Sharon abruptly stood up as if the news they received had finally settled on her. Her eyes were wide open and her hands were placed on her head, looking around like her life had no meaning anymore.She sobbed and placed her hands on her face and then beside her, grabbing tight her clothes since she was absorbed in confusion of the highest order.She shook her head since she was still finding it hard to wrap her head around it. "This isn't happening. No, this isn't happening. It can't happen!" She cried and looked at Hermione. "Please tell me this isn't happening. Tell me I'm only dreaming, Hermione!"Hermione sobbed and looked up at her mom, her face already wet with tears. "I…" She breathed out shakily and stood up. "We can't be dreaming the same dream, mom. They…we just heard…we just heard that they've dropped, mom. Our money…our money is now nothing." She said and began to cry, like saying that word out loud made it feel more real. "Mom! We…we lost our mon
