Martin's heart raced as he wondered why his father would suddenly want to target the Duke's Empire. The fact that he promised to return his shares, and his position as the heir was the most surprising, as he knew his father was up to something even more cunning. However, since he was getting his shares, he was glad to own a part of the company again, and with his position as the heir to the Scotts Empire, he was going to frustrate Brian's life and make him wish he never crossed his path. Martin was delighted by the news, and with that, he immediately set out to his father's company. As he stepped in, the employees stared at him, wondering what he was doing in the company. Martin ignored the disdainful glances and walked towards his father's office, surprised to see him smiling heartily. Martin scoffed, his heart clenched as he saw the manipulative man who was his father. His father, Landon Scott was very greedy, and perhaps that was where he got his own greediness from. Landon rais
In a deserted area far away from the city, a forsaken warehouse stood. There were no trees, no birds, and no single sign of life. The area was extremely quiet, so that even if a pin dropped, it could be heard. Robert walked out of the warehouse, his face twisted in an ugly scowl. He happened to have overheard Harry's words, and he knew Harry was referring to him. How was he so stupid to have believed him in the first place? Maya, and even Martin warned him, but he chose to believe that bastard instead. Robert took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, placing it on his lips to calm himself. As his organization was running out of funds, Robert didn't know what else to do. Even though the black eye was well known by everyone, he didn't know why getting a job this time was so hard. Frustrated, he kicked his car repeatedly to the extent of injuring himself. The fact that he allowed himself to get played by Harry hurt his pride, and for that, he knew exactly what he was going to d
Brian was utterly stunned and dumbfounded by Rodger’s statement. He checked the strange number and wondered if he was imagining things. As he just finished receiving a call from Harry, Rodger’s statement surprised him the most. Getting no response from Brian, Rodger then said, “Well then, goodbye Mr Brian.” His voice was extremely cold with no sign of warmth. Immediately Brian saw the location, his eyes Widened in surprise, and tears dropped from them as he sighed in relief, but even at that, he couldn't completely trust Rodger. Albert turned to Brian as he saw him walk towards the door, “Master, where are you going?” he asked, his voice etched with confusion and a mix of concern. “Someone texted me the location of my mother. I need to go now.” he said hurriedly. Albert gasped and pulled Brian backwards, “Master, even if someone sent the location, it could have been another trap. We can't trust this person completely.” he said as he wondered why Brian wasn't thinking appropriatel
Harry slammed his hands on the desk, his fury palpable. The only person responsible for ruining his plans was Rodger, as no other person knew the location of the Warehouse. “But why?!!!” he shrieked, anger coursing through his veins. He was this close to destroying Brian, and Rodger destroyed his plans completely. He picked up his car keys and stormed towards Rodger's building, his eyes glinting with malicious intent. “I'm going to deal with that son of a bitch!” he growled, his heart racing with fury. The fact that Rodger had the guts to leak the location to Brian was quite surprising, and he was going to show him why he was called Harry McDaniels. As soon as Harry reached Rodger’s building, he grinned. “With this amount of wealth he still wants more? Let him keep dreaming! Even if his group is dying, how's that my business? With my allowance cut, how does he expect me to pay for all his expenses?!” Even as Rodger was gradually losing his trusted alias, he was still quite stable.
Brian repeated Lyra's words and wondered if Lady Elizabeth was still sane, or she wasn't in the right state of mind. It wasn't that fifteen billion dollars was too much for him to get, but the fact that Lady Elizabeth had the guts to ask him for such an amount was what surprised him. Brian remained silent for a while, and Lyra was suddenly confused. Impatient, Lady Elizabeth snatched the phone from Lyra's hands and said, “Brian, I know fifteen billion dollars isn't too much for you. In Fact, it's even too small. You're my favorite son in-law now, you know that right?” she said cheekly and Brian smirked. He was stunned that such a shameless person existed. He? The favorite son-in-law? Just because of his new identity? Well, he wasn't planning to become Lady Elizabeth's favorite son in-law. Instead, he was planning to become her nemesis. Just like the way she almost sucked the life out of him, he was also going to do the same. If not that Lyra still owned a few shares at the Brooks e
“Annoying brat?” Rene repeated, her blood boiling in anger. “Just who do you think you are to call me that?! Just because you work now, I'm supposed to give you respect?” Now that Brian stared at Rene, he realized she looked oddly familiar, and that made him even confused. Not interested in her tantrums, he proceeded into the elevator, but Rene pulled him out. Brian was stunned by the amount of strength she wielded, and out of anger, he grabbed her hand, controlling himself hard not to snap it into two. “Little girl, it's better you continue working, and ignore me. Don't get me angry.” Rene scoffed, rolling her eyes as she stared at Brian. “And who are you calling a little girl? Do you think you're old enough to give birth to me?! Hey, Brian, if respect is something you're looking for, I can never give it to you. Anyone below my standards isn't worth my respect.” she smirked. Brian clicked his tongue in anger, curious to know her identity. “So you're indirectly saying I'm below yo
Brian smirked as he stared at the young girl whose mouth was as sharp as a razor. ‘Did she just ask me to be her slave?’ he thought to himself, an amusing smile finding its way to his lips. Deep down, he already felt like teaching her a good lesson, but due to the fact that he was in a good mood, he was going to let it all slide. After all, his mother was saved. What more could he ask for? Rene's face fell when she noticed that Brian paid her no attention. Instead, he was completely focused on his thoughts. “Do you think I'm joking?” she snapped as she stared at him with a burning gaze, trying hard not to deliver a slap across his face. As a child, she was always given the princess treatment. In her home, no one dared to look down on the only heir to the Walkers Empire. Rene was a bright child, but her intelligence was tempered by a sharp tongue and a spoiled attitude. No one in her home had the guts to talk to her anyhow, and once they did, they got fired the next day. To Rene, Br
“True?” Rene repeated, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “I can bet on anything that your position would even be less than that of a mere manager. Perhaps an assistant, or even worse, a lowly junior assistant.” she added. “Anyways, I need to go now. Duty calls as I'm not as jobless as you are.” Rene said after a while as she turned to leave. “Master, it took you so long.” Albert's voice was heard as he walked towards Brian, and Rene halted in her steps. ‘Master?’ she wondered as she turned to look at Albert, her eyes filled with curiosity. Brian smiled, “Albert, I was dealing with something insignificant, but I'm here now. Is anything the matter?” he asked, referring to Rene as unimportant, but she was unusually calm. The sight In front of her was quite hard to take in, and she was having a hard time wrapping her head around it. Her heart raced and she wavered slightly, but she masked it with a smile. Perhaps Albert was also of a low class, and they were birds of the same feathers.
