Liam and Kyra had been talking with the lawyers and some scientists in the law firm for hours.One of the scientists installed a defense software system on both of their mobiles and told Kyra, “These days, one of the main ways that the government or the companies target the citizens is through mobiles by stealing your data 24/7. In fact the government selectively kills its enemies among the public through cell phones. They can make your heart stop, brain malfunction, or affect any particular organ in your body, or even manipulate your mood. But with the software I installed, it’ll automatically stop the mobile from emitting harmful frequencies and radiation. Nevertheless, I highly suggest that you keep your mobiles switched off and only turn them on when you need them. Never put them in your pocket, and certainly don’t sleep with them. If you want an alarm, then use one analog clock. Unless you specifically need it, you should keep it switched off.”“Keeping my mobile switched off mos
If someone stepped on his toes, Magnus would have made them bleed from their ears just from his scolding. However, right now he could only bear the pain through his screams. After all, he didn’t want to scold Kyra, at least not in front of her dad because Liam had helped Magnus in the past. When a billionaire tried to kill him for talking bad about his products, it was Liam who shielded him and gave him monetary support for his research. This later helped Liam in building quality electric products as well, which led to the steady increase of Lynn Enterprises’ fame and the people’s trust.Kyra apologized to Magnus before leaving the building with her dad.“I’m not sure why you really want to fight the federal government,” Kyra opened up her mind. “They are the guys that print money, Dad. They have power over every nation. They are too big for us to fight them by ourselves. Otherwise, why would the Heller family or the Conreid family not back us?”Liam smiled. “Do you hate that I raised
Russell was sleeping, but then a somewhat familiar voice made him open his eyes. To his surprise, Tyler the Collection king was talking with his mother.“Please come and stay at our house, ma’am. Both of you,” Tyler respectfully spoke. “This is my wife’s wish. She wants to give our daughter to your son in marriage. He can slowly take over my businesses.”“And you expect me to believe that you’re okay with it?” Elora asked. “I’ve heard about you from many months already, Mr. Tyler. And while I admire how you take care of your wife and daughter, you also stoop to any level if it profits you. I cannot send my son over to such a family. It’s important to earn food, but it’s even more important to live with honor. I don’t think my son can live an honorable life in your house, under your care.”Tyler frowned initially but then forced out a smile. “I’m not as bad as you think, ma’am. While I’m ruthless to those who take money from me and don’t pay back in time, I take care of my friends who
Regan and Charlotte met in the Creed Tech company building. There were also other shareholders and board of directors that were there in the hall, but most of them were listening to these two talk.“If you take away the interest factor, you’re also taking away the most profitable stream of income for my bank,” Charlotte said. “How the eff do you expect me to proceed with this sudden change that robs me of my profits? This isn’t fair. I’m never going to accept it.”“I pretty much knew you’d say that, so I prepared something that’s almost as profitable as your interest scam, ahem, I mean, interest scheme,” Regan said.“Krgh, what is it?” Charlotte reluctantly asked.“Just like interest, we’ll go for a multidimensional scheme,” Regan said. “Taxes.”Charlotte raised her brow. “And how are you going to do that? By putting taxes on the gaming gear and so on? That wouldn’t be anywhere near enough.”“We’ll put tax on every transaction,” Regan kept his composure. “When a player deposits a hund
When Russell asked Karensa to bring her the menu card, he didn’t sound arrogant or angry. He was talking in a way that highlighted his masculinity while his body language showed relaxed confidence. There was no rush in his words, and only a display of confidence that was suggesting to her what was the right thing to do. Women were hardwired to find some qualities attractive in men, whether they themselves knew about it or not. For a second, Karensa also felt like she was standing in front of a protagonist from a James Bond movie, her favorite series, from the way Russell confronted her now.Many guys had tried to clear the complex entrance examinations of her heart, and almost everyone failed to properly hold her attention, but this guy was now giving a bit of a shake to the fort of her heart just by standing before her.“Hello?” Russell asked her again. “Are you hearing me? I asked for a menu card.”Karensa came up with many scenarios in her mind, which included him getting beaten by
“What’s your name?” Karensa asked him, flipping her hair back.“Why is my name necessary?” he asked back. “Didn’t you tell me to eat and get the hell out of your sight?”“I did, but…” Karensa maintained a straight face, “it’s just a name. Why are you playing tough to get? Usually, I’m the one that does that to the guys that approach me.”Russell somewhat smiled. “My name is, unfortunately, named after a snake.”“A snake?” Karensa thought for a second. “Is your name Viper? Racer? Draco?”He kept shaking his head. “Damn, I didn’t know there were so many names that are also used for snakes.”“You can just tell me your name.”“Aren’t you quite impatient?”“Huh,” Karensa smiled a bit angrily. “You’re the one making me impatient. You’re eating my food. Don’t you think you should at least have the courtesy to tell me your name?”“Then what about your courtesy? Isn’t it rude to ask someone’s name without telling yours first?” Russell retorted.The left eyebrow of Karensa jerked a little. “My
Russell had eaten his fill and then asked the waiter to pack the rest of the dishes.“You don’t have to take the rest,” Karensa said.“It’s for my mom,” he replied. “She’s upstairs.”“Oh, then we’ll send her fresh dishes because these would have gone a bit cold,” Karensa suggested.“Well…” Russell couldn’t say no because his mother loved eating hot food, especially spicy food. She wasn’t able to eat spicy foods when she was sick, but now, she started eating in moderation. “Thank you.”“It’s okay. I can do this much for someone who ‘slapped’ me,” she cheekily smiled.“You just had to say that…” Russell exhaled audibly. “Fine. If it’s an apology that you want… I’m sorry.”“An apology isn’t enough,” Karensa folded her arms and sat back confidently. “I want your number.”Russell was surprised. “My number?” he thought for a second.“What?” Karensa’s voice turned rough. “Why the heck are you thinking about it? Am I not worthy enough to even get your number?”“T-That’s not it,” Russell quick
Karensa was traveling in a car, while reading a file that had information about a particular someone. “Russell Bennett… as expected, he’s from a mediocre family. Only these poor people complain about how society works, but he’s not all wrong, though. My dad’s salary as a senate member wouldn’t exceed 200,000 dollars a year, but he earns tens of millions illegally every year just by using his position as a senate member. And 99.9% percent politicians are just like him, busy making money and filling their pockets deep with everything they can.” She kept reading the file with interest. “He’s not that good at studies, either, huh,” she smirked. “At least there’s one thing we have in common. He’s dated someone called Natasha for a few months until she rejected his proposal because he didn’t have a job. Can’t blame her for that. Mm?” Just then, she noticed a name. “Kyra Lynn?” she rubbed her eyes once and looked again. Her eyes slowly but surely widened. “W-What the hell? He married Kyra
