Christopher knew he was done for, he quickly said to Sir Bernard
"Please tell them I'm innocent."Before Sir Bernard could say anything, Director Evelyn continues"We have placed the Bernard family on our blacklist and have informed all the companies under us to do the same."Everyone could only look at her as she walked out of the house, and Sir Bernard couldn't believe that he just heard"I thought the contract termination was bad news, but now we have lost almost everything."He murmured, and Christopher quickly stood up."Don't worry, Mr. Bernard, I can still get you a bigger contract somewhere else; just agree to my plan, and we can set the wedding date next week."Christopher knows he has lost everything, and to save himself from the humiliations, he wanted to play this trick.Sir Bernard raises his eyebrows. Dennis walks closer to Christopher and pounds on him."You bastard, you think you can take us for a fool this time; get out of our house this minute."Christopher quickly ran out, and Sir Bernard, with a horrible look on his face, watched Christopher leave foolishly."What are we going to do now, father?"Dennis had a terrified look on his face.Everyone was in extreme shock; some were still trying to process everything. When Kyle spoke, he was the first son of Dennis."Grandfather, don't worry yourself too much; I'm going to speak with my best friend Joe. His father would definitely help us out.Sir Bernard looks relieved; he knows how connected Joe's father is. Raymond has been doing business with Globex Corporation for a very long time now."That is a very good idea; he can definitely help us. Please hurry to him this minute."Kyle quickly hurried out of the house.Sir Bernard faces Damien."What are you still doing here? Who invited you here in the first place?"Terry quickly rushed forward."Father, we tried to stop him but—""But what!! You mean you can't control your worthless daughter's husband?""No, father, I tried—"Damien quickly utters as he smiles"Who would even want to be among a family that is almost as worthless as me?"with angry looks on everyone's faces. Oliver, Dennis daughter, roars."This bastard just insulted everybody.""You fool, I'm going to put you in your place today."Damien walks out of the house smiling, and his phone rings, it's Benjamin."Hello Benjamin""Young master, the waiter you are looking for has been caught; I have sent our location to your phone.""Okay, I'm on my way. Benjamin I want you to take care of someone called Raymond. I heard Globex Corporation funds his project.""Okay, Young master, I will pass your message to Evelyn."Damien was surprised by Benjamin's words; he didn't ask Benjamin to find anybody, but he captured the bastard that made his life more miserable. He expected nothing less from his father's assistance; he probably had somebody following him around.Damien cuts the call. **Damien could already hear the screaming sound. He couldn't believe Benjamin caught the useless waiter when he thought it won't be possible.When he entered the room, the waiter was on his knees, pleading for mercy. He could see Benjamin men had dealt with him already.Benjamin bows to see Damien."Sir, I have all the evidence with him."Damien didn't listen to Benjamin's words. He moved closer to the waiter."Why did you spike my drink? Who sent you?"He shivered hearing Damien's deadly voice, but he knows keeping quiet is not an option."I'm very sorry, sir; it wasn't my intention; my daughter was sick and I needed money. I received a message from an unknown figure, then somebody called me with a robotic voice, offered me money, and sent me a picture of a lady."He breathed heavily."My job was to find somebody who is very poor to set her up with. I checked your background in Easy Job Mobile, and it turns out you were the poorest, so I hired you. That is all, I swear that is all."Damien's fist tightened; he was desperate, looking for money to treat his mother, which is why he accepted the job from Easy Job Mobile, only for this scumbag to frame him up.Damien had an angry look on his face."Who sent you to set her up?""I don't know the person for whom he used a robot voice when he called me, but I know it was from her family."Damien had always suspected one of Megan's family members was the Master minder; he faces Benjamin and says, "Get to the root of this; I want that person found.""Yes, young master.""What about Raymond?""Young master, it has been taken care of."He bows his head as Damien walks away.Sir, what about him?""Keep him till we find this bastard."Demian stepped out of the door.*Kyle was at Joe's house. He met Joe and explained everything to him."Don't worry, my friend; you know how connected my father is to Globex Corporation." This is too easy for him."Kyle was relieved. Joe was going to help his family out."Oh, my father is even around. Let's go meet him.Both of them went to meet Joe's father. Mr. Raymond, Joe introduced his friend Kyle to his father and told him why he was here.Mr. Raymond's eyebrows raised. He was happy to hear the Bernard family is in this mess; he sees this as his opportunity to get his hands on Megan."I will help your family, but on one condition.""What is it, sir, just say it?""Megan will accept being my second wife."Kyle quickly utters:"Consider it done, sir; my grandfather already approved of it."Mr. Raymond was surprised; he thought it would be difficult, but it turned out to be this easy.He asked Kyle to call his grandfather so he could confirm with Sir Bernard himself, and the kid was saying the right thing.Megan is truly his. Such a wonderful day.He finally decided to help, but to his greatest surprise, he got a call from his secretary informing him that Globex Corporation has terminating their contract."Are you sure of what you're saying?""Yes, sir, it has been confirmed. You can also check their official social media account."Raymond was short of words as the phone fall from his hand.This is bad; what am I going to do now? Who am I going to run to for help? Who did I offend?Kyle wanted to find out what happened."Sir, is anything the matter?"Upon hearing Kyle's voice, Raymond's already red eye turns even redder, and he slaps Kyle immediately."You bastard, your grandfather sent you here to destroy my family, right?""No, sir, we only wanted your—"Mr. Raymond landed a powerful blow on Kyle."How dare you and your grandfather drag me into your family mess,now my company contract has also been terminated?"He continued to punch Kyle, and Kyle quickly called on Joe for help.Joe couldn't say anything; he was still in shock. He couldn't believe he let this bastard make his family lose millions of dollars in investments. He joins his father and pounds on Kyle.Kyle couldn't get himself to say it was his idea; he knows he's going to die if he says so."Please, sir, it was my grandfather's idea; he sent me here; please spare me.""Oh, you can say the truth now; after I'm done with you, I'm going to deal with that useless family of yours."Kyle was dragged into the car; his face was swollen, he lost some teeth, and he couldn't say anything.*The car stopped at Sir Bernard's house. Dennis and Terry thought Kyle had successfully invited Mr. Raymond to their house, but to their greatest surprise, Kyle could barely crawl out of the car.Dennis and Terry rushed to Kyle to help him out of the car."Son. Did you have an accident on your way to Mr. Raymond's house? Talk to me.""what happened" Dennis quickly greeted Mr. Raymond."Welcome to our house, Mr. Raymond; my father is waiting for you inside."Raymond had tightly pressed lips; his face was deadly."You think you can make a fool of me? I'm going to deal with you today just as I did with your son."With a furrowed eyebrow look on Dennis face, he couldn't do anything to Mr. Raymond. He knew his family was in a big mess, and he didn't want to add to it."What happened, Mr. Raymond? Did my son offend you? Please forgive him; he's only a child."Dennis speaks politely to Mr. Raymond."Oh, you want to pretend you didn't know what your family did.""No, please, we didn't do anything, please what happened."Dennis was still in the dark; he wasn't aware Mr. Raymond's company had lost their contracts with Globex Corporation.Raymond grabbed Dennis shirt as he voiced out h
Sir Bernard was too shocked to react; he couldn't believe Damien's words. Before he could stop Damien, he agreed with Mr. Raymond.He finally believed Damien was on a mission to destroy their family. He used to be scared like a chicken, but he challenges everybody now.Dennis uttered."Terry, you and your family are on your own. Your son-in-law, made the deal; father didn't say anything, so your family is going to be the ones to pay the double fee."He faces his father.Father, don't worry. Terry will take responsibility for not being able to contain this animal.Sir Bernard nods slowly; he doesn't know what else to say. He faced Terry and said"Go face your problem. I don't want to see you in this house again."The family left immediately after Sir Bernard finished his words; there is no need to argue with Damien. He will handle the bills when the time comes.Terry faces Damien speechless,"I swear, I am going to kill you."He rushes to his family to beg them for Mercy.He faced Meg
Megan entered the house, her eyebrows raised when she saw Aunty Jessica and her husband Bruce had returned from abroad. Her excitement was cut short when Raymond looked at her with deadly eyes."You think you can make a fool of me; you better pay me my money now before I do something unspeakable."Megan was surprised; she thought Mr. Raymond was here because he had gotten the information."Mr. Raymond, your—""Shut up your mouth! You think I'm stupid to believe whatever you have to say. I know you're going to start crying and begging for mercy, but it's too late for that."Raymond didn't see Damien's. "Where is that bastard husband of yours? He thinks he can get away from me. I'm going to cut off that useless tongue of his." "No.. Mr. Raymond, I actually got the—"Lady Helen shouted at Megan, "Shut up, silly girl! You should be on your knees pleading for mercy, and accept Mr. Raymond's generous offer." Megan didn't put her ears to her grandmother's words; she wonders if Mr. Raymond
Damien squeezed his fists, and he followed them outside. Terry ran after Mr. Raymond."Please wait. Mr. Raymond Please.. We are sorry." Upon hearing Terry's words, Raymond stops."What do you want?" Terry quickly went on his knees and held Raymond's leg."We are sorry, Mr. Raymond, please forgive us; my daughter was just acting stupid; she never met what she said."Raymond raised eyebrows."Oh, she was acting stupid, you say.Yes, Mr. Raymond. In fact, she has been suffering from depression. Please forgive her."Raymond landed a heavy slap on Terry's face."What do you take me for?""You think I'm stupid to believe all this; your useless daughter clearly insulted me, and she must pay for that."Megan couldn't stand Raymond anymore, so she spoke out."Why did you hit my father? You know I got you back your contract; why are you pretending Mr. Raymond? Say the truth."Doris tried to cover Megan's mouth, but she was too strong for her."I don't want your money or any apology from you;
Everyone was shocked by the condition Mr. Raymond was in, his face was swollen and blood was dropping from his Jaw. He quickly ran in Megan's direction and knee his voice was quivering and shaky.“Please, Mrs. Megan I'm so sorry for how I treated you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me.”Everyone was still in disbelief. How can a man like Raymond be on his knees begging for forgiveness? Dennis quickly entered the scene. “Mr. Raymond, please don't apologize to somebody like us we are not worthy of your apology.”Raymond didn't care to listen to Dennis words he continued to beg for mercy. He can't waste time on unnecessary things his time is counting, and he must get Megan to forgive him.“Megan got me back my contract i lied!”“I lied to everyone. I lied!”tears drop from his eyes.“Please forgive me just this once i won't tell lies again.”Everybody was shocked by Mr. Raymond's words,they thought Raymond got his contract due to his connections, and who would've thought Megan was telling t
“You're happy now, stupid girl. I thought you were smart. That stupid husband of yours has transferred his useless brain to you.”Jessica joins her mother in her slander of Megan “Mother, I know she was this stupid; look at what she has done. We could have successfully made Raymond give us some of his contract and added that 20 million dollars on top, but this fool decided to play hard to get.”Lady Helen used her finger to push Megan's head.Sir Bernard couldn't believe Megan got Raymond's contract back and left theirs.His jaw tightened, and he faced Megan with a deadly look. Before he could speak, Damien entered the scene. He knew Megan was being pushed to a tight spot, and everyone was putting blame on her. “Nobody believed her when she said she got the contract. Now you want to blame her.”Damien faces Jessica; he was mad at her for hitting Megan earlier.“Instead of you being proud of—” Jasscia cut Damien Short“Proud of what?!” she screamed at Damien.“We should be proud that
Everyone was shocked when Megan broke the news. They look at Megan disgusted; they can't believe she still has the guts to come back and lie to them.Jessica was about to leave the house to see her friends when Megan entered. Seeing Megan's attitude, she couldn't let her go unpunished.“And you expect us to believe this nonsense.”She clenched her fists and yelled at Megan. Dennis knows it was not possible; Megan just left the house a while ago, and there is no way director Evelyn could've approved their contract like it was planned ahead.“You think you can trick us or take us for a fool, right? I thought you were here to beg for mercy, but it seems you have not learned your lesson.”Dennis pointed at Damien.“It's a shame you still move around with this bastard.”He faces Megan with a cold look. Deep down inside him, he was happy Megan had become worthless in the face of everyone; finally his daughter Oliver can now take the spotlight.Megan ignored them; she quickly moved closer to
Damien was surprised to see Jessica; she was coming in his direction with a female doctor. He wonders what Jessica was doing in the hospital.“What are you doing here?”The female doctor yelled at Damien; she looked at him disgusted. Damien doesn't want to waste his time on them.“I'm here to see—”Jessica cut Damien off.“Oh, this is what you do; I never knew an arrogant fool like you could be this polite.”She burst into laughter.“I know you're here for the cleaning vacancy job.”The doctor spoke after Jessica.“Who let you in here? If you want a cleaning job, go downstairs and apply, here is not for people like you.”She looked at Damien from head to toe. he looks poorly dressed; such a person is not supposed to even enter an elevator, let alone stand in the VIP sector.Damien was only putting on short trousers and a white shirt. He knows they were looking down on him, but they should mind their words.Jessica sees this as an opportunity to deal with Damien.“Laura I don't think h
The city was alive with anticipation. It was a beautiful day, the kind where the sun kissed the tops of skyscrapers and birds sang in perfect harmony. But as Sean and Olivia's wedding progressed, something unexpected happened—something that no one could have predicted happened—which made some people start whispering to themselves.Suddenly, the city's pulse shifted as the news kept on moving like wildfire. Phones started buzzing from different corners incessantly, and whispers spread like wildfire. Every television screen, every radio station, and every news outlet was broadcasting the same thing on a loop.“Lord Barron's has a son, and he's getting married on Blueberry Island.”The announcement was urgent, as if it had just come out of nowhere, yet it carried a weight that no one could ignore. It caught everyone's intentions. In the midst of Sean’s wedding, the staff of the media companies who were there to cover the event were thrown into a frenzy.News producers, camera operato
Doris and Terry stood frozen in their position, their eyes wide with shock as they looked at Lord Barron standing before them. The air around them seemed to thicken, making it hard to breathe, as the realization slowly dawned on them. Damien, who was standing close to Lord Barron, had a look of both pride and excitement on his face. He was really happy, and he and Lord Barron were chatting as if they were friends. However, there was also a slight tension in Doris' eyes, as if she were trying hard not to acknowledge something to herself; she was struggling to believe where her mind was taking her. The resemblance between Damien and Lord Barron was unmistakable, and it struck Doris like a bolt of lightning. Could Damien be Lord Barron’s son? The thought was too wild, too shocking to even entertain. She quickly dismissed it, trying to keep her composure, but the idea lingered, gnawing at the edges of her mind.Damien saw Megan's parents standing there without being told; he could t
The day was finally here—the day of the Bernard x Hernandez wedding. They decided to use the Sky High Hotel, one of the most prestigious venues in the city, buzzing with excitement. The Bernard family had already gathered in the grand hall, their faces glowing with happiness and pride. Today was Olivia's big day, a big day for the whole family as well, the day she would be marrying into the powerful Hernandez family, a union that had captured the attention of the entire nation. Media outlets and TV stations were lined up outside, eager to capture every moment of the event. It wasn’t just a wedding; it was a spectacle.As the guests began to arrive, the atmosphere grew even more vibrant. The hall was filled with the soft murmur of conversations, the clinking of glasses, and the occasional burst of laughter. Sean and one of the guests stood by the large windows, his eyes scanning the crowd. He was searching for Megan; he wanted to see her so he could see the look on her face, althou
At that moment terry and Doris looked at her in shock, their eyes widening as they processed her words. But as they opened the box and saw the beautifully crafted invitation inside, their expressions softened. This was Megan’s way of moving forward, of creating her own path despite the chaos that surrounded them. And at that moment, they knew they would stand by her, no matter what.However, they could feel the quality of the invitation card. It doesn't look ordinary without being told they could tell it was something so expensive.Megan’s smile, genuine this time, lingered as she looked at her parents. She felt a sense of peace and shock in their faces she hadn’t felt in a long time. She had made her choice, and she was ready to face whatever comes next. With Damien by her side, they didn't do a proper wedding the first time, and Lord Barron said they were going to do one, and he's going to use the opportunity to announce Damien to the world.Terry and Doris stood in their positi
At that moment, the room fell into a heavy silence. Megan’s heart, pounding so hard she thought it might burst out of her chest. She couldn’t believe what just happened without being told she could tell Sean is doing all of this just to get to her and make her jealous, but it's not going to work instead she smiled.This wasn’t just about a marriage proposal; it was a calculated move, a way to assert control and power. Sean’s eyes never left Megan’s as he waited for Olivia’s response, a twisted smirk playing on his lips.He was expecting Megan to react or something, but instead she was smiling. What the hell has gotten into her?Olivia’s eyes flew open, her breath caught in her throat. Her heart pounded in her chest as beads of sweat formed on her brow. She wasn't expecting this, Without wasting any time, she said immediately.“Yes, yes, I will marry you.”The word barely escaped her lips when she realized the gravity of what she had just agreed to—she would marry Sean. Lady Helen, s
Two weeks had passed since the accident, and Damien was finally being discharged from the hospital. The ordeal had taken its toll, but as he stepped out of the hospital doors and breathed in the fresh air, a wave of relief washed over him. He was back at his father’s house on Blueberry Island, a serene place with its gentle waves lapping against the shore, where the scent of the sea always lingered in the air. His mother was there, standing by the door, her eyes brimming with tears of joy. Everyone wants to visit here, and she is seeing and experiencing it herself. Megan had been by his side throughout his recovery, but she wasn’t there today. She had to leave earlier because of an urgent message from her mother. Still, the comfort of having his family around him was enough for now. He was glad his parents had finally talked, and his mother had accepted his father’s offer. For the first time in a long while, Damien felt like everything was going to be alright; he doesn't have anythi
The room was filled with a thick tension as Lord Barron, tall and imposing, stood at the entrance, his piercing eyes locked on the trembling doctor before him.At that moment, the doctor found himself struggling to form words.His hands, usually steady, were now clenched tightly together, and a cold sweat began to form on his brow. He had never been this intimidated by anyone before, but the presence of Lord Barron was something entirely different.Lord Barron, his voice deep and commanding, broke the silence again. “How is my son?” He demanded, his tone leaving no room for hesitation.At that moment, the doctor swallowed hard, feeling the weight of the moment pressing down on him. He knew he had no choice but to answer, even though the words seemed to stick in his throat. “Lord Barron” He began, his voice shaky but growing stronger with each word, “Your son… he lost a lot of blood. It was a close call, but we managed to stabilize him and did the surgery successfully.”At that mo
Both of them know they need to get him to the hospital immediately if he's going to save his son.Benjamin wasted no time as he hoisted the young master onto his back; that was the only thing he could think of at that moment.With Lord Barron clutching tightly to his son's hands, and he walked alongside Benjamin. With swift, determined strides, they ran out of the warehouse, leaving Derek's body behind. The boss was still in shock because of what he just witnessed.Lord Barron killed his brother right in front of him, and the manner in which he did it.He's a beast.He couldn't move a muscle at that moment; his entire body was paralyzed by the shock. He knew he couldn't escape, not in the position he was in. Even if he managed to escape, they would find him. Even if he managed to escape and travel somewhere far away, they would catch him, no matter what.They came outside the warehouse, and Benjamin and Lord Barron quickly got into the car. Immediately, the car engine roared to lif
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. I could see it in hi
