Damian quickly left the hospital that morning to get some new clothes at home. Megan sent him the money last night, but he doesn't need the money anymore.

He notices the Mercedes-Benz car parked in front of Megan's house; he knows nobody owns this type of Mercedes brand in the house.

Damien walked inside the house where Megan's father and mother were hosting a guest. With good dress sense, he was sitting close to Megan.

The entire room was in extreme shock. Everyone stared at Damien with horrified looks on their faces; they couldn't believe he returned to their house.

Terry quickly stood up from his chair; he must chase Damien out of the house immediately. He thought after yesterday's incident he wouldn't dare come to the house again, and he doesn't want his guests to find out what happened between Damien and Megan.

He pointed at him with a disturbed look on his face.

"What are you doing here? Are you here to cause more trouble?"

Doris quickly supported her husband to get him out quickly.

She can't believe this madman has returned to their house.

"Get out of here this minute, pig, you aren't welcome here any more, no one wants you again, your job here is done."

She had an uncomfortable look on her face.

"Get out of here this minute."

Damien was unwilling to leave; he has nothing to say; he was told to hide his identity, which he must do; and moreover, Megan is carrying his child.

He must stay and expose that person who offered him that part-time job just to set him up with Megan and prove to Megan that he wasn't the mastermind.

Megan was sitting by the corner. She didn't mutter a word; she could hardly talk. She doesn't want this scumbag here, and she certainly doesn't want Damien here either.

Her bright life has become a dark tunnel because of what Damien did to her.

Her grandfather forced both of them to get married, despite the pleas from her dad and mom. Demian should have been in prison by now; he is lucky the family spared him.

Damien's voice out.

"I'm here to stay, and I'm not leaving any time soon. Megan is still my wife, so I'm doing the right thing."

It was as if a bomb exploded in the room. Terry and his wife lost their voice. They were not expecting him to say such a thing; that was the last thing they hoped could happen today. At that moment, a voice like a foghorn spoke.

"Young man, will you get out of here this instant? I can clearly

See, nobody wants you here. You have nothing to say here; I give you one minute to get your poverty-stricken self out of here."

Thomas looks at Damien disgusted; he is the heir to the Alexander family; they are part of the tier two list of the richest family in Blue Isno; his family owns a high-class restaurant called Eat with Pride, with some medium restaurants in the countryside; the Alexander family's net worth is over 500 million dollars; and they have been surging recently.

Damien's eyebrow furrowed; he couldn't believe what this fool just said to him.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me when I wasn't talking to you?"

Doris couldn't believe what she just heard—not only did this bastard drug and rape her daughter, he also got her pregnant.

He still has the guts to be this arrogant; he still has the audacity to come to their house this morning and insult Thomas Alexander. If only he knew how powerful the Alexander family is. It's only recently that the Bernard family was able to pass the Alexander family in ranking, all thanks to the little contract Megan got for the completion of sky-high interior designs, before this beast decided to show his face and ruin everything.

He definitely has a death wish.

"Will you shut your mouth, you bastard? Who do you think you're to insult Thomas, the heir to the Alexander group, you trashy?"

Thomas sees this as the perfect opportunity to prove himself to Megan and her family.

"Mother, don't waste your energy on this scumbag; I will deal with him myself."

Thomas thought Damien was one of Megan's admirers, but it's now confirmed he's just a hopeless scumbag who has overstayed his welcome.

He was shocked when he got a call from Megan's father informing him they had accepted his marriage proposal. He has been confessing his love for her for some time now, and Megan never looks at his face before she rejects him.

He came quickly because he doesn't want anything to go wrong. He sees Damien as the first obstacle and must deal with him immediately.

with a cold look on his face.

"You punk, I will teach you a lesson you will never forget in a hurry. Do you even have what it takes to take care of Megan? Can you afford her upkeep? You fetid dog, I know you are hungry. Take this 100 dollars and go buy something to eat. Just be a good dog, okay?"

Damien, with tense jaws and lips, couldn't take this any longer.

"I'm going to deal with you today; you have bitten off more than you can chew."

Thomas tosses some cash at Damien.

"You want more money! Take that and be a good boy."

Damien's eyebrows closed his eyes.

"I'm going to show you what happens to the lizard that challenges the crocodile to a biting contest."

Damien took out his phone from his pocket and sent Mr. Benjamin a message. He wants to see how powerful the Barron family is.

[I want the Alexander Company zeroed out. I want it liquidated in five minutes.]

With a cold look on Damien's face.

"Soon you will be needing this money more than I do."

Terry couldn't stand Damien any longer with a bitter look on his face.

"You better leave here now before I do something crazy. I give you one minute to get out of here, bastard."

At that moment, Thomas phone suddenly rang. Thomas was caught by surprise.

"Hello Dad, I'm at my in-laws place right now; why are you calling me?"

on the phone. Thomas father snarled indignantly,

"You piece of sh*t! What the hell did you do this time? Who did you offend? All the shareholders are selling their shares like candy; our share price has fallen more than 50%."

Thomas heart seized; he couldn't believe his ears, and his father wasn't done.

"The worst of it all is that the bank wants their $200 million loan back. In setting up Eat with Pride, all our partners have suddenly suspended their projects with us, and with an overwhelming statement, we are definitely going bankrupt after this."

Thomas  phone was on loudspeaker; he was frozen like he was hit by lightning.

"But but...what happened, why, why...what did we do to deserve this?"

Thomas expected a reply, but he heard siren sounds, followed by the sound of people asking his father to vacate the house, which now belongs to the bank.

Suddenly, his legs went jelly and weak in front of Damien and Megan's parents. His phone fell down, and he went on his knees immediately.

"Please, Mr. Terry, help my family. I'm begging you, please call your father, sir."

Terry clearly heard the phone conversation Thomas had with his father; he knows they are done; he clenched his fists; he knows his plans for Thomas to marry Megan have failed; he was still thinking of what to do next when his phone rang; it was his father. Terry was shocked as he slowly answered the phone.

"Hello father."

"I hope you have chased that worthless Thomas out of your house."

"Yes, father, as soon as I heard the news, I chased him out."

"Good I heard the same faith will follow anyone seen associating with the Alexander family; move on to the next plan."

The call ended. Terry was still shivering, and Thomas was still in his house.

Thomas, stand up and leave here this minute. How do you expect me to help your family in this mess? It clearly seems you offended the wrong family. You better go and apologize to the family you and your father offended."

"Please, sir, just help us this once. We didn't offend anyone."

Terry slowly pushed him out of his house and closed the door. He wonders who the Alexander family could've offended; it must be from the top five families.

his eyebrow move seeing Demien still in their house.

"You bastard, get out of my sight before you transfer your bad luck to me; things were going on fine before you showed up with your bad luck."

Damien could see the little smile on Megan's face; he knows she doesn't support the marriage with Thomas, but she lacks words of her own.

He dislikes people who can't voice their thoughts, and he hates the Bernard family.

He went to the room to change his clothes and sent Benjamin a message.

[I want you to terminate the contract we have with the Bernard family.]

    Both Damien and Bradley spun around, their movements almost synchronized, driven by shock. Standing behind them in the warehouse was a figure Damien never expected to see. His breath caught in his throat as his eyes locked onto the man’s face. The recognition was instant, almost as if time had slowed down. It was his uncle, Derek. The man his father had warned him about, his father showed him his picture on his phone. The man who had haunted his nightmares for years. The number one suspect in everything that had gone wrong.“You!”Damien’s voice trembled with a mixture of disbelief and fury. His hands balled into fists at his sides, every muscle in his body tensing as if preparing for a fight.Derek’s face twisted into a cruel smile as he nodded his head slowly, enjoying the shock and anger on Damien’s face. “Don’t act surprised, Damien,” Derek said, his voice cold and filled venomous. “I’ve known for a long time that you and your father were planning something.
