The Price of HelpLewis Anderson sat in the luxurious but increasingly lonely Anderson mansion, feeling the effect of his failures pressing down on him. He was desperate for a way out of their financial mess, his father had been throwing annoying words at him. so he turned to the one person he thought could help—his sister, Gracia.He wanted her to use her influence to get help for him from her new man, Edward.“Gracia, I don’t know what to do anymore, I've done everything but nothing seems to be working,” Lewis confessed, his voice heavy with despair. “Dad’s blaming me for everything, and I’ve lost almost all our money. We need a miracle to survive.”Gracia, always the more level-headed of the two, listened intently. “Lewis, we can’t afford to make any more mistakes. We need to think this through carefully. Then find a way around it. Any hasty decision would definitely be a disaster.”Lewis nodded, though his eyes were filled with doubt. He wanted urgent help and he had thought about
The Rising ThreatHarvey sat in his office, a collection of documents spread out before him. He had spent weeks monitoring Edward’s every move and dissecting his lifestyle. Edward had displayed himself as a savior for the Anderson family, but Harvey knew better. He had dug deep and discovered that Edward’s past was riddled with fraudulent activities and scams. This was the leverage Harvey needed.“Professor Jason,” Harvey called, his voice echoing in the large office. “I need you to compile everything we’ve got on Edward. Every scam, every fraudulent activity. We’re going to use this to our advantage.”Jason nodded. “Right away, Harvey. We’ll make sure Edward’s reputation is thoroughly tarnished.”Harvey leaned back in his chair, a plan forming in his mind. He would use his resources to secretly lift the Andersons out of their financial troubles, allowing them to pay off Edward and crash his plans to take over the company.Days turned into weeks, and Harvey’s secret support started sh
The New TrapHarvey knew that the Anderson family had regained their wealth and that Lewis’s ambition would drive him to seek bigger and faster opportunities. With this in mind, Harvey began to formulate another plan. He knew Lewis's weakness for quick, high-reward investments, and he decided to use this to his advantage.Harvey called Professor Jason into his office. “Jason, we need to create a new cryptocurrency. Something that looks promising and will attract people like Lewis. We’ll promote it heavily and make sure the terms and conditions are in our favor. So whatever happens, the terms and conditions would favor us. And no one should know I’m behind it.”Jason nodded, understanding the seriousness of the assignment. “I’ll get on it right away, Master Harvey. We’ll design a coin that’s appealing and make it seem like the next big thing in the crypto world. Lewis always loves fast outcomes and would surely want to try.”Over the next few weeks, Jason worked tirelessly to create th
The New MoneyLewis kept observing this new coin, the progress was maddening, and he felt he was wasting time and money by delaying.He wanted to start investing on that Saturday morning but his father had informed him of an important meeting. “Why can't you go alone? I have something important to do.” he nagged.But Mr. Michael was as stubborn as Lewis so he insisted. Lewis angrily left for his room to prepare for the so-called meeting.A few moments later, he was done dressing up and was already headed to the Anderson company. When they arrived at Anderson's company, everyone was already waiting for the president, Mr. Micheal, and his son. Lewis. Once they were seated, Micheal talked about how to improve their strategies in the market. They had incurred a huge loss and now that they managed to come, they want to be among the top five.“I don't know how you will do it, steal, hijack it from our competitors but I want new ideas. There will be a reward for anyone that produces the b
Harvey wanted to react but prof Jason who was on the phone with him asked him to think about it.“Master, you wouldn't want to do that. You’ll definitely blow your cover. Just ignore him. You gave him the wealth and it is in your hands to take it back. So, don't let him bother you.”Jason’s words kept Harvey in check. It was true. Fighting Lewis would definitely give him away. He swallowed his pride, glared at Lewis, and took his towel and water bottle and headed out.But he was in so much pain that he didn't get to physically deal with him. But he knew a time would come.Harvey went back home but wasn't feeling too fine. He was pissed for not dealing with Lewis. “Who the hell does he think he is? Because he's seeing Peanut and he thinks he can challenge me and talk to me however he pleases? No way! I’ll have to crush the coin and he will crumble.”But prof Jason was quick to intervene. “No, Mr. Master. You can't take such a decision now. I know you're angry but you don't have to scat
Lewis was in a whirlwind of confusion and trauma. He was thinking about how to raise his friends' money. The weight of his problem lay heavily on his shoulders .Then he thought about his father’s company. Lewis is in a real bind. His dad drops the bomb that their family company's on the ropes and needs cash pronto. Tough break, right? So, Lewis does some serious soul-searching, even tries to hint to his old man that he's sinking, but no dice. The company needs funds, end of story and Lewis knows about this one. it wasn't a new thing. Lewis himself also stole a little cash from the company’s account when he was doing the cryptocurrency.Now, he isn't exactly swimming in cash himself. In fact, he's up to his eyeballs in debt. So, what's a guy to do? Bite the bullet and head to the bank, that's what.With his back against the wall, he did what he had to do. He decided to swallow his pride and head to the bank. Yep, the dreaded bank. Lewis decided to take up a bank loan to repay his de
As the days passed, the loan repayment deadline drew closer, and Lewis found himself once again caught in a tight spot. The bank was constantly calling and threatening him. He was not having peace and he felt suffocated by the weight of his financial burdens. He couldn't let the bank take away their property or even go to the media. It would be an embarrassment to the family.Desperation clawed at him as he frantically searched for a way to sort his bills and pay off the pending loan. But it turned out to be a disaster.With each passing day, the pressure mounted, and Lewis knew he couldn't bear it alone any longer. He needed to seek help and there was no other person than his father. He knew he had disappointed and failed him once again but he knew he would forgive and no matter what, he would find a way to help him resolve this issue.Reluctantly, he made his way to his father's home office, scared of the inevitable disappointment and scolding that awaited him. He hesitated at the d
As Lewis left his father's office, his mind raced with thoughts of how to solve his financial sufferings. As he thought desperately, a dangerous idea began to form—one that might ruin their family business and tear his family apart. But he doesn't care as far as the bank would stop calling him.He had decided to steal the money from the company account.With a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, Lewis knew that once he crossed that line, there would be no turning back. But in his mind, the ends justifies the means, and he was willing to do whatever it took to dig himself out of the hole he had created.The next day…The next morning, the shrill sound of the alarm clock pierced through Lewis's sleep, jolting him awake. He groaned, rubbing his eyes as he sat up in bed. With a sigh, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed and forced himself to stand up, already feeling the weight of the day ahead pressing down on him.As Lewis groggily rolled out of bed, his mind was already bu
