156. Argue“Don't bother arguing!” Carrie immediately screeched.“You were penniless and had nothing to even aid you in your travel. I can't imagine that after we were kind enough to let you marry into our family and provide you with food and a roof over your head, yet you stole our money when we let our guard down and absconded!”Atlas frowned and could not be more astounded at the atrocities this woman had spewed against him.. no wonder Cheyenne was seething with hatred earlier. The only path here is to explain and clear his name, hopefully Cheyenne will believe him.“No such thing happened. I don't even know where your father keeps his money!” Atlas tried to reason with Cheyenne.“Nonsense! You clearly stole half a grand from us this morning before going off to meet Young master Chador here!” Carrie interjected harshly before turning to look at Cheyenne's father, Smith Erikson.“Tell us; did he steal our money, or I'm I making all these up!?”“Hmph! He married into our family, yet
GiftCarrie's presumptuous behavior made Cheyenne feel very uncomfortable.“Mother, I have already told you several times that I won't marry Mister Michaelson.” she then turned to look at Chador.“Mister Michaelson, you come from a privileged family, and there are many girls who like you. I'm already married, and I really don't deserve, so you should not waste any more time on me.”Carrie was so infuriated that she pinched Cheyenne several times and barked.“Why are you so muddled!? Chador is such an eligible man. You're lucky he fancies you!” then she turned to apologize to Chador.“Young master Chador, we have spoiled Cheyenne rotten. Sometimes, she's thick in the head, so please don't mind her! Don't worry. I have the final say in this household.”Chador smiled faintly and pretended to be nonchalant.“Its alright, Carrie. I believe Cheyenne will believe in my sincerity one day.” however, he was extremely displeased.'I, Chador Michaelson, have never been blatantly rejected by a woma
FraudAtlas had just seen Ella today, how could he have prepared a present in advance when he didn't even know Amelia was going to adopt the child from the orphanage. Just as he was about to think of what to say, the system's robotic voice rang in his head.«Ding!System sense's Host's complicated emotion. Deploying the moonstone bracelet.Moonstone bracelet description: a piece of the moon, capable of enhancing a person's Will and also eliminate fatigue as well as stabilize emotions.Worth: Three million dollars ($3,000,000).Object: Tradable.»Atlas put his hand in his pants pocket and felt a bead bracelet. He brought out the bracelet from his pocket and gave it to Ella.“Happy Birthday, Ella. Daddy wishes you to grow up safely and happily.”Although Atlas had obtained this gift from the system and it's description suggested it was extremely worthy, it still looked like an ordinary bead bracelet to people.Amelia reached out and snatched the bead bracelet.

Level upRen didn't quite get all that was happening around him, his focus was on the school assignment in front of him. He was doing his best to solve the problem, and at the same time thinking more on what the Celestial god had said.“What did he mean by other chosen individuals. Doesn't this mean I'm not the only one who was given a second chance?” he muttered before slapping his forehead.“That's exactly what he meant dumbass.”Sigh!“I just hope the other candidates are having a hard time.”[Meanwhile]"How much farther? At the moment." Micheal walking through the mud road towards his quest."Two miles" Her usual arrogant witty self was nowhere to be found as she was very silent during his journey."Someone's having a bad day, come on, princess, say something""Leave me be, human"Normally she would sound arrogant but now she sounded terrified. He thought he would like her to be silent but after traveling in silence for a long time, he missed the witty and arrogant princess. Howev
HereEveryone thought Charles McAlister as the man who will bring the Elisium Military to a greater height, but they failed to question how he survived while plotting on foiling the plans of the previous Secretary of Defense right under his nose. No matter how careful he planned, a ruthless man like Tony Hamilton would have killed him a long time ago to avoid anyone finding out about the scheme, but Charles McAlister survived.Except the dark world, no one knew the real Charles McAlister. Tony Hamilton was only a Secretary of Defense for the outside world but the real mastermind behind him was none but Charles McAlister. His simplicity was just for show as he was the richest man in the world and he made his fortune by drug and human trafficking, yet the outside world didn't know this.Since no one could prove him guilty, some rich fool from somewhere was paying Michaelis to take him out. As far as Michaelis was concerned, he was getting paid to take out dirt like him for a sweet amount
Empty feelingEven though she wanted to know what-next, Simran stared at the man in front of her. Her mind numb, her face blank. Her gaze traveled to his bleeding thigh. The man had managed to disguise as Starlight for two months? How was that possible for a werewolf? She studied him closely to understand him.Manton looked at Simran, turned her, curled his hand around her neck and pushed her to a carriage that was waiting for her. He waved his hand in the air and ordered his men.“We move immediately.”They were five men on their horses and a woman who already had Nyles hauled across her horse.Manton opened the carriage door and pushed Simran to sit down on the bench. He got in and sat opposite. He pounded on the carriage and they started to move at a rapid pace.Simran was surprised at the turn of event. She was silent as the carriage sped across the dirt road. When she peeked out of the window, she saw the mist rolling around them as if covering them like a permanent drape. She fe

Interview and SabotageRen decided to first grab a bite before heading home. Through his photographic memory, he knew that there was a pizza store that served great pizza.Walking into the store, he saw someone whom he never expected seeing in this place."What are the odds of us being in the same place twice, my dear Ren." The golden haired man with gold irises wearing golden suit sat there enjoying a modest sized pizza."Mr Gayle." Ren gave a curt greeting and turned away, he had just lost his appetite."Take my advise and step down Ren, while you still can. Things might get ugly soon."Ren didn't pay heed to Garrick Gayle's words, he kept on moving.*Ren sat in front of his computer, his mind racing with excitement and ideas.
