"I made sure she didn't suspect me... You fucker, you sold me out! That's why Elena found out!" Joel Laker begrudgingly said.What's this rabid dog bubbling about? Sett thought."Sold you out? Excuse me, you don't have that much value." Sett sarcastically said while picking up the tea that the maid served them.'That's hot...' Sett felt the tip of his tongue burn. He glanced at Joel Laker, who was getting ready to bite him. Sett didn't mind as he continued to roast him verbally. "Additionally, I'm her brother-in-law and it's within my responsibility to tell her the "truth". Too bad you got caught in the act."It was precisely at this moment that the young master, Patrick, appeared. As the young master, Patrick, passes by, the numerous servants and maids bow.As a highly educated man, young master Patrick approaches the table with a gentleman's smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you in my humble place, Madam Claire.""Likewise, young master Patrick, I thought your father was merely boasti
'It's all my fault. If I hadn't argued with my son, things wouldn't have escalated, our relationship wouldn't have been jeopardized.' Clifford thought in his mind while his eyes were filled with sorrow, but when he looked at his granddaughter trying her best to help him, a smile formed in his lips. He still has his beloved granddaughter. At this time, young master Patrick appeared, and instantly his brows shot up. He barked angryly. "Who allowed you to enter?" The young master, Patrick, didn't disguise his hatred toward his grandfather. To him and his father, this old man was a hindrance to their plan. There was also his younger sibling, Nessie Laker, who was like a sour thumb to him. The commotion had attracted the attention of the family servant and even the guards outside. There was bound to be gossiping when people gathered. Not to mention that their hushed voices were clear as day toward Sett. "Haven't you heard the news?" The guard asked. "Oh, the one that went viral?" The t
It was time to leave, Sett stood up and bid farewell to the old man, Clifford, and his granddaughter, Nessie, who was dazzlingly watching him, and when Sett had shaken hands with her, she would yelp and her face would go red.As Sett was leaving, he suddenly heard the forlorn voice of the old man, Clifford, behind him."Are you not afraid? that you're facing a family that is second to none, and an unknown entity from overseas is backing it up? that even my stubborn son had no choice but to give way to them in selling half of our properties?" The old man, Clifford, reminded him. Also, he didn't want to witness a promising young man being devoured whole by the tyrannical Ratherford family.And from old man Clifford's short meeting with Sett. He could tell that Sett was hinting at dark memories of the past. Merely gazing into Sett's eyes tells him so. He understands him, as he had gone on the same path of getting his revenge."Young man, as a piece of advice, it's not too late to give u
It was around noon when Sett received the news that the Science & Tech Company was being pressured by the media.And there would be a lot of reporters from all over the place trying to talk to the owner of the business.Inside his car, Sett uttered. "Science & Tech company?" Just then something clicked inside Sett's head as he pondered. 'What the... Isn't the Science & Tech company owned by the Ratherford family? The media has arrived much earlier than I had anticipated...'"Looks like I'll be visiting that jerk's company much earlier than expected," Sett spoke as he curved up the corner of his mouth. With that, Sett made a turn toward the city center. He had to see how the Ratherfords would react after all the people filing charges against him were the old man, Clifford, and the small businesses on Wall Street who were evicted because the Ratherfords wanted to expand their business!As Sett was using his sister's luxurious car, the Lamborghini, it didn't take long for him to spot t
Sett let out a sigh, as he saw the Ratherfords entering the building. But somehow Sett wasn't entirely satisfied with the result. He had at least hoped that the jerk would trip his tongue and say something crucial, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case.It's not so bad, though, because Sett was certain that Don Alfonso was just putting on a show, and that guy was clearly irritated."Hmm, I almost forgot I still have some explaining to do with my wife, Sheila." Sett wryly said as he scratched his head. Lately, Sheila had been asking him about Ms. Scarlett.'Maybe she's thinking that I'm cheating on her? Perhaps she's jealous?" Sett mused in the back of his mind while grinning from ear to ear.Sett scratches their hands up, feeling tired. And since there wasn't anything more for him to watch. With that, Sett leaves the Ratherford family's vicinity, his mood rejuvenating!Meanwhile, heavy steps could be heard inside the Ratherford family company building. Don Alfonso was heading toward
It was around seven in the morning when college students couldn't be seen entering the gate of Saint University; some were in a hurry while others were not. At this juncture, Sett was parking his scooter on the school's vacant lot. He was scratching his head while looking at the luxurious vehicles being parked there. He couldn't help but compare his ride, which is a "scooter," to the expensive luxury cars. His scooter was like a sore thumb that was sticking out. This was embarrassing! Sett let out a sloppy grin. "I should have checked my car; why did it have to stop in the middle of the road?..." Sett shook his head as he remembered his conversation with that lady and her snobbish brother, who still had a grudge against him for running his party. "I shouldn't be complaining; in any case, I should be grateful that my "kind" neighbor let me borrow her old scooter; it's better than nothing." Anyway, he was finally having his relaxing time and was far away from the trouble! And the
At the Saint University classroom, Elena knitted her brows as the commotion began to rise. Why was there so much noise?She mumbled while slowly turning her head and, to her deep shock, the person the teacher was talking about was him! "The spokesperson for Dreams Do Come True? Mr. Crow? What is he doing here?" Elena was having a hard time processing what she was seeing.Nevertheless, she had no choice but to believe that this transfer student was indeed the spokesperson. and presently he was being asked by the teacher to introduce himself.Initially, Elena had thought that the spokesperson was a lot older. Well, she couldn't be blamed though, as Sett had a serious and mature atmosphere around him, and combined with her physique, people would mistake him for being in his thirties!"Umm, everyone can call me by my last name, Crow....." Sett continued to speak a bunch of nonsense while hiding his real identity, making the students laugh at him. Then he stupidly smiled. ".... I would sa
Presently, Sett and Elena could be seen at the back of the abandoned school building. As for why Elena was coldly looking at him, in truth, he had no idea, though."Suddenly asking a lady and bringing her to an abandoned school building, Mr. Spokesperson, isn't this.... suspicious?" Elena said in a suspenseful manner while leaning forward at Sett.Hearing Elena's words, Sett sweated bullets. How did she think in that direction? Didn't he make it clear that he merely wants to have a private talk with her?Watching how nervous the spokesperson had become, especially when his forehead was covered in sweat, Elena felt a weird sense of accomplishment. She tilted her head as she chuckled. "Ms. Elena, really, I only want to talk with you about....""Hu? Is that so?" Elena said, but then Sett swore that he saw her grinning as though she wanted to do something detestable; with a solemn expression, he added, "Let me guess, is it about my sister?"Sett was astonished at how sharp Elena could be
