Beth and the Stanton brothers arrived at the Stanton mansion's parking lot to board the limousine that would take them to the museum where the art exhibition would be held.Ámbar accompanied them despite Beth's negativity and disdain. She persisted in belittling Ámbar, but Carson had been somewhat more sociable with her since he returned from the coma.Baxter was very well-dressed for the occasion, and his suit was much more elegant than the attire Curtis had chosen."Take us to the art exhibition right away," Beth ordered upon arrival."I can't leave without Curtis," Baxter didn't budge despite Beth's attempt to assert authority.Beth frowned and arched her eyebrow to express her annoyance. She placed her hands on her hips and shouted again."I'm not asking for a favor, I'm giving you an order," said Beth.Baxter smiled faintly as he lowered his gaze. Then he sighed and looked at Beth."We've been through this a thousand times. I know you want me to disobey Mr. Curtis, but this time
Curtis had walked for a long time until he finally reached a bus terminal. He was exhausted and panting, tongue hanging out due to tiredness, but he wasn't willing to give up. Beth couldn't have her way, and he didn't want to give her the satisfaction of the art exhibition taking place under her command."Good morning," Curtis said as he arrived at the spot where the bus he needed to take would depart.But the individuals in charge of selling bus tickets completely ignored him.Curtis cleared his throat loudly, intending to get the workers' attention. Perhaps they hadn't heard him the first time he spoke.But just like the first time, they completely ignored Curtis and continued chatting and laughing amiably."I need a damn ticket to get on that damn bus," Curtis suddenly shouted, feeling furious at being ignored.Curtis's shout and offensive manner of speaking quickly bore fruit. Those individuals stopped chatting to pay immediate attention to him."Hey, brother, calm down," one of t
Curtis was on his way to the museum where the Stanton family art exhibition was taking place. Beth had done everything possible to keep Curtis from being present, but still, he was heading to that place.The problem was that the bus was moving very slowly. At this rate, he wouldn't make it on time. The worst part was the discomfort he felt sitting in those narrow seats that didn't leave any space.To make matters worse, Curtis was sitting next to a very obese woman who took up a lot of space between the seats. He had never been so uncomfortable in his life as he was on this trip.The obese woman next to Curtis fell asleep and began to snore loudly, causing Curtis to feel even more stressed.The man sitting in front of Curtis suddenly reclined his seat, leaving the entire backrest on him.Curtis couldn't believe it. He was surrounded by reckless people who didn't care about respecting others' space. He tried to do the same as the person in front of him, but his seat was broken and coul
The art exhibition continued as if nothing had happened, but Prince Rick Carusi's attitude towards Curtis had completely changed. He no longer saw him as a mere worker he could humiliate and treat like trash. Now, he treated him with great admiration and respect. He even seemed to ignore Beth and Agatha just to pay attention to Curtis Stanton."Good evening," Curtis said loudly in the center of the room to draw everyone's attention. "Today is a very special day. Today, the world will see the immense art collection that Joseph Stanton accumulated throughout his life. Please, enjoy.""Bravo! ... bravo! ... you're a genius!" Prince Rick shouted as he clapped and whistled in the crudest and most common manner.Agatha and Beth looked at each other in astonishment. They didn't understand what the hell had happened to the prince who arrived an hour ago.Curtis returned to his family's side and the prince to enjoy the exhibition just like everyone else.The prince quickly rushed to serve a co
The next day, everything had returned to normal at the Stanton mansion. Beth walked in the shadows, waiting for a small opportunity to harm Curtis, while he sought ways to make everyone happy.Curtis enjoyed his morning in his private office accompanied by his good friend and lawyer, Lucius Garner. In addition to them, there was a small company that supposedly shouldn't be there, but for Curtis, it had become commonplace.Kim Ballmer was sitting on Curtis's lap while he discussed important matters with his lawyer."The company has started to experience some losses that are entirely new. Such a large deficit has never been seen in the Stanton companies," said Lucius.Lucius spoke facing Curtis, who was seated behind his desk, but he couldn't help but notice Kim Ballmer sitting on his lap, as if she were a child asking Santa Claus for a gift."It's impossible for there to be losses. I haven't changed anything in the parameters," said Curtis."To be honest... I would feel more comfortabl
"I guess I don't have another option," said Curtis, placing his hands on the desk.Charles Ballmer arched his eyebrows and tilted his head slightly as he smiled, pointing the gun at Curtis.Curtis sighed and huffed loudly as he shook his head. He refused to accept it, but Charles left him no choice."I can give you another option... I can fill your head with lead right now, and that would be the end of our problem," threatened Charles with a passive-aggressive attitude."I prefer the other option," Curtis stood up and extended his hand to shake Charles Ballmer's hand."That's the Curtis I like," Charles Ballmer smiled and holstered his gun before shaking hands with his new partner."I guess I'll have to wait for you to make your first trip," said Curtis as he lowered his gaze to pick up his drink."Tonight.""What?!... Tonight?!" Curtis asked, very surprised."Yes... tonight. Is there a problem?""Ships need to be prepared at least a day in advance. There's a lot of paperwork to be do
Charles Ballmer pulled out his gun and began hitting the container forcefully."Shut up!" Charles ordered authoritatively, his voice sounding very intimidating.The voices of the women inside the container immediately fell silent upon hearing Charles Ballmer's voice. It was quite obvious that they were very afraid of that monster.Curtis was horrified, but he had to continue pretending to be there. Charles Ballmer was a very dangerous guy, and the last thing Curtis wanted was for him to become suspicious."I guess we can proceed with the shipment now," Charles Ballmer said."Y-yes... of course," Curtis replied, stuttering.Curtis gave the order, and a huge crane began to lift the container onto the ship. The screams were agonizing and made Curtis's skin crawl.Still, Curtis stood there pretending to smile, barely managing to ignore those screams that sounded like a rock concert."I'm glad I didn't kill you that day Joseph defended you," Charles said suddenly as he watched the containe
Curtis had spent the entire night with nightmares and strange sensations after what he had experienced the night before. So, he woke up the next day craving some peace and quiet.It was then that he decided to gather the whole family in the dining room during breakfast to make an important announcement.Beth, Ámbar, Kim, and all the Stanton siblings were waiting to eat while they had to wait for Curtis to arrive in the dining room as he had ordered."I'm hungry," exclaimed Ágata, looking at the empty plate in front of her."That idiot Curtis ordered that they wouldn't serve the food until he arrived," Beth explained, with her fingers intertwined in front of her mouth."That's stupid," said Cambell, exchanging a brief glance with his wife Kim."I support Curtis," said Kim, intending to embarrass her husband, "after all, he's the alpha male of this mansion."Beth couldn't help but laugh and let out a laugh that came out of her closed mouth."I have no doubt about that. You can learn a l
