Oliver and his son-in-law stood frozen in shock as they saw Keith standing in front of the door, his expression unyielding. They had been planning their escape, but now it seemed impossible. Keith's presence was like a brick wall, blocking their way, and they knew he wouldn't allow them to walk past him without asking them any questions.Oliver gazed at his son-in-law as he moved closer to him.“What's going on?”Oliver whispered to his son-in-law, his eyes fixed on Keith. “He's not even moving. How are we supposed to get out of here without anyone noticing us leaving?”Oliver's son-in-law shook his head, his face pale with fear. He never wanted to be in a situation like this, but his father-in-law pushed him to it. He lied to everyone about his place of work; he's only an executive showroom cleaner, yet he lied and said he works as a manager. Now seeing what it has caused, they are hiding as if they stole something.“I don't know, but we can't just stand here and do nothing. We ha
Oliver had always prided himself on his ability to read people, anticipate their moves before they made them, and escape from situations quickly, yet he couldn't get away from this. He's been pushed to the wall as he walked down the long path. He bowed his head, and his son-in-law followed him from behind.Keith was walking behind them, and he felt a gnawing sense of dread. It was becoming clear that Keith had been aware of their plans all along. He had played along with them; he played them for a fool, and they thought they were smart. Now that there was nowhere to escape, it was no longer an option.Oliver shook his head in disappointment, the weight of his miscalculation heavy on his shoulders as he trudged forward towards the Diamond Room.Keith’s presence was a looming shadow behind them, silent yet imposing; he saw right through him like an open book. At that moment, they reached the large, ornately carved door, which swung open with an almost theatrical flourish, revealing th
Damien stood up with a deadly smile on his face, his gaze sweeping over the faces of those gathered around without being told. He could tell they were all afraid; the tension was palpable. What was Damien wanting? He wanted to shut all of them up to the point next time, they would learn how to be respectful towards others and not look down on anyone again.A heavy silence hung in the air. It was clear to everyone present that Damien was not someone to be trifled with; he's levels above that, and it's clear for everyone to see.Damien had been keeping quiet ever since the so-called party began; they had mistaken his quietness for stupidity, and he would not allow that to happen anymore. It has reached a breaking point. His silence had transformed into a formidable, unyielding force.He pointed an accusing finger at Gabriel, who had been seated quietly on the edge of his chair, trying to blend into the shadows. “You”Damien said, his voice low and commanding.“Don't you have anything to
Damien said angrily, his eyes squeezed as he gazed at Gabriel.“Next time when you see my father-in-law you will learn to respect him and keep your mouth shut. I will not tolerate anyone looking down on my father-in-law ever again! For that reason, you deserve to be dealt with. Next time, you will learn to respect others.”At that moment Terry blinked his eyes just to confirm if truly it was the same Damien he once knew, the one he never respected the one he called a fool saying he was going to cause him problems not long ago, is doing all of this. He has not gotten himself back from the shock of how Damien was able to make Mr. Keith be this respectful towards him, and how did he manage to get all of them inside the diamond room, and he's about to deal with the big mouth Gabriel he's not angry or sorry because Gabriel deserves everything he gets if he has his way he would shut that mouth of his for good, and it seems Damien would do a good job.At that moment he raised his shoulders
The diamond room was silent, with a charged atmosphere filled with tension as they all saw Damien standing in front of Sylvester with a deadly face.Sylvester's entire body vibrated upon seeing Damien stand in front of him. His entire body vibrated.At that moment, Sylvester was acutely aware of the gravity of his mistake. He had insulted Terry and his son-in-law, Damien earlier, and everyone had heard it. There was no escaping or denying it. Seeing what happened to Gabriel made his heartbeat increase. He knew he wouldn't survive that he was as good as dead. His lip started shaking he couldn't even think of anything to say at that moment.Damien’s dead eyes locked onto Sylvester, a gaze so cold and intense it felt like a physical blow.He pointed directly at him, and Damien's voice cut through the silence.“Are you not going to say anything? I thought you said we had nothing to offer. Say something now. Tell everyone how rich you are. Tell everyone how capable you are.”Sylvester sh
Oliver started shedding tears, knowing he would be next. He also insulted Terry and his son-in-law. He can't escape the impending punishment that is coming his way after Sylvester and his son-in-law have been dealt with.Sylvester and Johnson began begging Terry for forgiveness; their voices choked with desperation and fear. As time is running fast, each minute they waste would bite back at them.“We’re sorry for everything we said and did. Please forgive us,” they pleaded, their eyes wide and brimming with tears.However, Terry remained unmoved, his expression stern and unforgiving.“I don’t feel like you’re apologizing sincerely. I’m not going to forgive you. Both of you should apologize like you meant it, not this acting you're doing, and also say it out loud. ”Sylvester’s tears flowed freely as he realized he only had three minutes left. Johnson clung to Terry’s leg, his voice breaking with panic. They know if they can't convince Terry to forgive them, it's over; the ruthless Da
The sudden change in Oliver's face was immediate as he saw his son-in-law go on his knees and start accusing him of being the cause of everything. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. How could the fool betray him in such a manner after everything he had done for him? He lied just to cover his own ass, and yet, the fool still had the guts to betray him this quickly. He's not going to allow that, not when he did everything because of him, and he dare stabbed him on the back, useless fool. He couldn't believe his daughter is married to the good for nothing scumbag.Oliver couldn't help but cry out. “Please don't listen to him! I don't know what he's talking about. He's a fool—a big one at that. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. Please don't believe him! Don't tell him anything; he's a big one. didn't listen to him; he was the one who came up with it himself, not me.”Oliver's body started vibrating with anger and fear. He had no idea when the fool had gone to his kn
His words stung, but Oliver knew he had to respond. He couldn't keep quiet and watched his son-in-law play an emotional game with everyone. “I did what I had to do to survive and be respected. I know people respect others if they are above them.”He said, his voice shaking. “I never meant to hurt anyone. And I never forced you to agree; you accept peacefully now you want to blame me for it.”His son-in-law sneered. “Respected? You think lying about who you are makes you respectable? It made me ashamed of myself. It makes you a fraud, father. A fraud and a coward, I'm so ashamed of myself to play along to this point.”The room was silent even more, everyone hanging on to every word. They had never seen Oliver so vulnerable or so defeated. The man who had always seemed so confident and in control was now at the mercy of his lies.In the corner, Robert and Mark continued their whispered conversation. “This is unbelievable.”Robert said. “I never thought I'd see the day when Oliver w
