The Hawthorne mansion was ablaze with lights and music, the air filled with laughter and excitement as the guests flooded in for the birthday celebration of Mr. Hawthorne's grandson. The opulent estate gave out an air of luxury and sophistication, with extravagant decorations at every corner.Ferdinand, as planned, had chosen to dress in casual attire for the occasion. He stood with his three friends, enjoying the festivities and chatting with each other.As Damien and Sarah made their entrance, they caught sight of Ferdinand and his friends. Damien's expression darkened, and with a swift stride, he approached Ferdinand and pushed a glass from a nearby table, causing it to shatter on the floor, catching everyone's attention.Then he pointed at Ferdinand and said, " Look what you've done, you fool.""Why are you here, Ferdinand?" Damien spat out, his tone dripping with disdain. " Seems like your and your broke ass friends have the habit of showing up at fancy parties which are way ab
As Damien faced Ferdinand to offer his apology in front of the gathering crowd, the anger in him boiled to its extreme.' I can't believe I am apologizing to this piece of shit.' Damien murmured to himself.' I am only doing this so you grant my father the transportation contract.' he further consoled himself.Damien bowed his head before Ferdinand, and apologized," I am truly sorry for the way I have behaved towards you, I promise it will never repeat itself." He said." As you say, it should never repeat itself. You shouldn't even bully any other person.To have money and power is not a licence to bully others, is this clear, Damien?" Ferdinand questioned with a firm voice.' I can't believe the nerve of this piece of shit.' Damien said to himself as he hesitated to answer, trying to control his anger." Is there a problem with your voice?" Ferdinand questioned with a grin." No, everything is clear." Damien replied." And just so you know, the contract won't be granted to you or yo
Ferdinand had moved into the new apartment which Duke had rented for him. The apartment looked fancy and large, but it was nothing as compared to the Hawthorne mansion.Ferdinand had gotten his two vehicles delivered by duke from the Hawthorne mansion. He was ready to drive to school today.Ferdinand Hawthorne had always been a mystery to his classmates at Berkeley University. He was known as the quiet, studious guy who kept to himself and never seemed to care about material possessions. But on this particular day, as his Rolls-Royce pulled up onto the campus grounds, everyone's jaws dropped in shock.Kyle, Ferdinand's loyal driver, stepped out of the car and opened the door for him. As Ferdinand emerged from the luxurious vehicle, he was met with a chorus of gasps and whispers. The once humble and unassuming student now stood before them in designer clothes, looking every bit like a prince.The girls who had never paid him any mind before now ogled at him with admiration. His en
Ferdinand was taken aback by the statement, " A ghost, what do you mean by that?" He inquired, getting more confused.But before he could question further, the old man changed the topic," You have found your real identity, Ferdinand, but not the whole truth about your parent's death." The old man revealed." My parent's death? What do you mean? They died in a car accident." Ferdinand replied.But the old man shook his head. "Till now, all the problems you have faced were minor problems. You must be ready to overcome the real problems. Your parent's death was not just an accident. There is more to it."As the old man rose to leave, Ferdinand hurried after him. " Wait," he called out."We shall meet again, Ferdinand." the old man's words lingered in the air as Ferdinand watched him as he stepped out the door.In a rush of curiosity and emotions, Ferdinand sprinted outside, only to find that the old man was nowhere to be seen.Ferdinand where he could have gone that fast. The old man wa
As Ferdinand sat comfortably in his plush seat at the corner table of his upscale restaurant, Kyle stood next to him, his posture straight and alert."Kyle, why don't you take a seat and relax a bit?" Ferdinand offered, gesturing to the empty chair opposite him.Kyle shook his head. "Sorry, sir. I need to remain standing. It's part of my job as your bodyguard."Ferdinand chuckled. "Come on, Kyle. We're off duty now. Sit down and free yourself up. You deserve a break."As if on cue, a waitress approached their table, balancing a tray laden with steaming Chinese dishes and a bottle of wine. As the waitress poured their wine, Ferdinand noticed Kyle refraining from drinking. "Kyle, you should join me. A little wine won't hurt," Ferdinand encouraged, pouring a glass for his loyal companion.Kyle hesitated, shifting uncomfortably. "I appreciate the offer, sir, but as your driver as well, it's against my work ethics to consume alcohol while on duty."Ferdinand waved off his concerns. "Oh, c
As Serah returned to her dorm, heart heavy with the weight of Damien's harsh treatment still fresh in her mind, she hoped for a moment of solace in her own space. However, the chilling realization hit her as she stepped into her room - her belongings were neatly packed up, ready to go. "Britney, Nicole, what's going on here?" Serah questioned, her voice tinged with confusion and anxiety."We've had enough, Serah. We don't want you as our roommate anymore," Britney stated bluntly, with a hint of disdain in her tone. "But why?" Serah's voice trembled slightly as she tried to grasp the betrayal unfolding before her eyes. "Because being associated with you makes us look bad," Nicole added, her expression cold and calculated.Enraged by their shallow reasoning, Serah's emotions erupted. "Backstabbers! You're all just a bunch of fakes!" she accused, tears welling up in her eyes. Despite feeling hurt, Serah couldn't hold back the truth any longer. "You think you can fool everyone with
Ferdinand sat in his office, meticulously reviewing the details of the upcoming meeting with the transporting company. As the CEO of a booming cosmetic company, he knew he had to search for a reliable partner to ensure the smooth distribution of his high quality products.Since Damien's father was no longer in the game, he decided to pick another transport company which was one of the biggest competitors of Damien's father's companyAs he sat there, Duke entered the room with a cheerful smile on his face.Ferdinand raised his head up and smiled when he saw who was there. "Good morning, Duke! I trust you're prepared for our meeting with the transporting company today." "Good morning, Ferdinand! Absolutely, I've got all the necessary documents and information ready to go. We've got this!"Ferdinand nodded in agreement, and they proceeded to the meeting. Upon arrival at the transporting company's headquarters, they were ushered into a sleek conference room where they were greeted by th
After the two armed groups had lowered their weapon ls, Mr X stepped forward, his piercing gaze locked on Mr Bob. "I am Mr X," he said in a low, gravelly voice. "And it seems we both want the same thing, albeit in different ways."Mr Bob raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the mysterious man standing before him. "And what exactly is it that we both want?" he asked cautiously.Mr X smirked, a glint of mischief dancing in his eyes. "We both want to take down Ferdinand and his grandpa," he replied. "But I have a better plan than simply killing them."Mr Bob's interest was piqued. "Oh? And what might that be?"Mr X leaned in closer, his voice barely above a whisper. "I have a way to seize control of the Hawthorne Consortium from the Hawthorne lineage before we eliminate them," he explained.A sly smile spread across Mr Bob's face as he considered the proposition. It was risky, but if successful, it could mean untold riches and power for both of them.After a moment of contemplation, Mr Bob e
