"Nini, why didn't your brother listen?" Sarah was worried sick. Nini's brother was such a nice guy; she wouldn't be able to sleep if something happened to him. "Do you trust your brother that much, Nini?" Kimberly spoke with an anxious tone. "En, I trust my brother!" Nini spoke with confidence while nodding her head without the slightest bit of hesitation. Upon hearing Nini's words, Sarah and Kimberly look incredulously at her. When all was said and done, they could only stare at the gradually farther away back of Sett and the two police officers. It didn't take long before Sett was led beneath a walkway bridge, near the abandoned bungalows. The place could be deemed remote and there was barely anyone in sight, apart from a small number of hobos glancing from time to time while warming themselves in some corner. "You guys sure this is the back of the school?" Sett dropped the question while raising an eyebrow. "Just continue to walk, Chubby. We just want to have a small talk wi
"You're dead, chubby! You hear me, you're good as dead!" Kenneth shrieked hysterically.A vein poked out of Sett's forehead. He was getting annoyed at this police officer's howling and screaming insults. Why is this guy so loud? Why couldn't he just shut his trap? Hey, if others saw this police officer in a miserable state, wouldn't they think he was about to be butchered or something? "Give me a break." Sett mumbled while sitting on top of the grassy ground. He was dead tired already. 'After this is solved, I need to attend tonight's audition for the company. This is way too exhausting.' Just then, Sett felt the vibration On the surface, followed by the engine roaring. He instinctively shifted his sharp gaze toward the northwest."So, they've finally arrived." It didn't take long before the noise of sirens blended with the sound of tires grinding on the soil, as police pursuit vehicles and special vehicles arrived at the scene. It is worth mentioning that the police vehicles wer
"Old thing, don't push your luck." Macho Karl growled. "What did you say? Say that again, you brute, and I'll charge you for the earlier manhandling of me!" Principal Jethro couldn't take it lying down that he was being insulted by a bull. He added. "Have you been living under a rock? You don't know who you are talking to?" Sett wasn't in the mood to listen to more of this unreasonable old man's nonsense. Moreover, he has more important things to do, as his Aunt Margaret at home must be worried sick about Nini's situation. "Macho Karl, there's no need to be so worked up with a mad man." Sett waved his hand dismissively. The principal was bewildered; he didn't think Sett would completely ignore him. This in turn fanned the principal, Jethro's temper. "Young man, you are very rude! You and your failure of a sister are the same! Your parents must have failed in educating you as an adult! People like you are bad luck to societ-" Abruptly, a crisp sound could be heard loud and cl
It was a long-awaited and exciting day for one of Darian City's largest corporations. Famous celebrities around the globe were invited as the judges for tonight's upcoming finale of choosing among the best participants for the movie role. One couldn't fathom how grand it would be. It was to be expected that outstanding figures around Darian City wouldn't want to miss such an opportunity to come view the new emerging stars! At the high-rise "Dreams Do Come True" corporate building. Outstanding men, carrying confidence, and gorgeous ladies with ravaging statures were either preparing or rehearsing in the lobby. The smell of competitiveness in the atmosphere could be felt. In the unsuspecting corner beside the vending machine, a chubby man could be seen gazing intently at the cup of coffee in his hand. This person had just arrived not too long ago. "Good stuff! The aroma is neither too strong nor too light, just perfect!" Sett gulped down the coffee. The flavor was provoking his taste
The moment Sett stepped into the elevator, he knew that his fate was sealed. Meeting face-to-face with his mother-in-law and father-in-law inside the elevator was like stepping on a landmine. His sister-in-law, Elena, was also present with an unreadable expression; maybe she was baffled or something. Sett's father-in-law, Mr. Clayton Laurel, crossed his muscular forearm arm between his chest, his tiger-like gaze pricking Sett's skin. On the other hand, his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Laurel, was narrowing her bright green eyes into slits. Talking about being stalked by a venomous snake...There was a long, painful-awkward silence. The stiffness in the air was suffocating.Meanwhile, Elena Laurel had an amused look glued to her sweet face. Seeing the dumbfounded expression on her brother-in-law's face made her day. Indeed, she was enjoying it..."I didn't expect to see you here, my darling son-in-law." Mrs. Elizabeth was the first to break the ice with her soothing voice.Sett didn't i
"Honey, there's no need to banter with a tumor-like him." Mrs. Elizabeth spoke to her husband while unfolding her fan. Her expression turned dead serious as she shifted her gaze to Sett. "Listen, I have high expectations of my daughter Sheila. As a mother, I want my daughter Sheila to have the best man for her life partner and I can't imagine wasting her life with a nobody like you who doesn't have a future." Mrs. Elizabeth spoke haughtily. She didn't mind hurting others to make her message crystal clear. "I.." Sett's countenance turned pale as he felt a pang in his heart. He couldn't properly utter the words out of his mouth. "We aren't in-laws anymore, so don't bother calling me one. Oh, before I forget, I know you refuse to divorce my daughter. Regardless, the divorce will still go through. Hmmph!" Mrs. Elizabeth snorted while pursuing her lips. She surveyed the gathering audience, who were taking their seats while others were passing by them toward their designated area in
"Please don't leave me, my love!" The young man in an 18th-century French costume kneeled and pleaded while gripping the hand of the young, gorgeous lady in a traditional French gown. In the background, the soothing melody of the violin reaches its crescendo."There's nothing between us, Mike. I've fallen in love with someone else. I'm sorry." The gorgeous lady was filled with sorrow as she wiped the teardrop from her eyes. At that point, the music abruptly ceased, indicating the end of the scripted acting play by these two wonderful contestants. Although it was somewhat cheesy, it was necessary. Furthermore, the audience loved it as they stood up from their seats and gave thunderous applause of acknowledgment to the two wonderful contestants on the stage, who bowed toward the audience. They were confident they'd get a great role in the movie after showcasing their superior script acting. That garnered the judges' attention. While the audience enjoyed the performance, the same thing
Someone in the audience chimed in. "It turns out that it's that young man's fault." A famous actress pointed out her finger as she stated. "That waiter had respectfully served me a drink of juice, and for a waiter to misstep is not likely to occur, so that young man is at fault." Sett's expression hardened. He was stunned and speechless at the absurdity of the whole situation. Everyone was making accusing remarks to his face. Director Chou shouted in wrath. "Someone call supervisor Edward or the security guards and kick this rubbish out!" 'What a load of crap is this guy saying?' Sett frowned as he finally took note of the middle-aged man who was enticing everyone to kick him out. 'Hmm? Isn't this the guy that claimed he saw me tripping the waiter? This waiter and this guy should be in cahoots with one another...' The more Sett thought about it, the more accurate his speculation became.However, the question was why were they scheming against him? Just then, Sett's eyes narrowe
