Nathan sneered at Luke's words and turned to Isabella, "For the past 3 years, I have done my best and even before we divorced, you brought your so-called boyfriend home" He said and shook his head in disbelief
"What do you mean by you've done your best? You're no match for Luke. I'm sure that you're regretting now because you made the mistake of signing those papers without any compensation from me," Isabella said with her left hand on her waist.
"It's not too late to beg now, swallow your pride Nathan, and beg me, don't be so ungrateful!" Isabella took a step closer to him and stared into his eyes
"You're the one who made a mistake Isabella, so don't irate me, or else, I'll make sure that I teach you all a lesson," He said, coldly.
Isabella was stunned at Nathan's words. He has been so calm and humble for the past 3 years. He has never talked back at her or Emma, even when they treated him like a servant. He was never angry about it. "How come he changed so much?" She thought.
"How dare you speak to me like that? Don't you know where you belong?" Luke was furious. Luke is a rich and successful businessman and he felt Nathan was challenging him.
"You are no match for me. You're just a useless son-in-law and you dare challenge him?" He continued, "I'll teach you a lesson! It's not your fault that you've become too confident. My girlfriend has been too generous by feeding you well"
Luke studied Korean taekwondo before so he tried to kick Nathan in the face but Nathan avoided it
"You think that you can beat me? I'll make sure that I teach you a lesson that you won't ever forget," Luke said and tried to kick him again.
Nathan stared at him coldly and easily dodged it before punching him heavily on his belly, causing Luke to wince in pain. He clutched his shirt and closed his eyes, trying to endure the pain he felt due to the punch. He couldn't even scream. He fell to the ground, breathing with difficulty.
Isabella felt shocked. She didn't know that Nathan was good at combat, too. She thought that Luke would beat the hell out of him and then he'd finally come back to his senses and apologize. "What's your problem? Are you insane? Why would you punch Luke?" She asked in a rage, but Nathan ignored her and stared coldly at Luke on the floor as he winced in pain.
"You're a madman, but I'll cure you of your madness. I'll let you know that it's not everyone you see that you can offend," Isabella said in anger.
Nathan sneered and said, "You're always welcome to avenge him. " He didn't wait to hear another word from either of them before turning to leave
"How dare you, church rat! You're a useless fool, a good-for-nothing man and I'll make sure that you pay for all of this," Emma yelled at him, but he didn't flinch or turn to glance at her. Emma was on her knees as she tried to caress Luke's back.
He kept on walking towards the exit of the mansion. Isabella stared at him evilly, she gritted her teeth, clutched her fingers to form a fist, and yelled in anger, "I'll make sure that you pay Nathan! you must be dealt it, I'll call my brother"
Emma's laughter rang across the hall as soon as she heard Isabella's words. Isabella's brother, Nigel, is a mafia boss. Isabella always calls Nigel for help whenever she's having issues in her business, and she'll give Nigel money to help her deal with some of her business problems.
Isabella took out her phone from her purse and instantly dialed his number. "I need your help to avenge someone," she said immediately after he answered the call
"Okay, send me the details" He responded and ended the call, causing an evil smile to appear on Isabella's face. She instantly sent Nathan's picture and some information about him to Nigel and heaved a long sigh.
"Soon, Nathan will crawl to beg us," she grinned. Isabella had never felt humiliated like this in her life. Not only was Nathan bold, but he also didn't beg her to compensate him. She scoffed. "He'll beg to eat and suffer in the streets," she thought.
She walked closer to Luke, who was still on the ground, but luckily the pain that he was feeling had reduced. "Nathan must pay for all of this. We can't let him go free." Emma paused and smiled. "I trust that Nigel will do a good job"
"That bastard!" Luke spat in pain. "I'll make him pay for doing this to me."
In a taxi, Nathan's phone rang, causing a frown to appear on his face. "Hello?" He answered the call, coldly.
"It's already 7 years Nathan. When will you come back home?" An old man asked as soon as he heard Nathan's voice. Nathan kept mute. He didn't respond to his question.
"We really need you, Nathan. When will you come back home?" He repeated
"Has the lord of the family agreed to punish those who caused my parent's death?" Nathan asked coldly. The old man was quiet for a few seconds before he responded, "That was a misunderstanding, Nathan."
Nathan sneered and said, "I understand now, I'm not ready to come back home now, I'll come back when it's the right time," He said and was about to end the call when he heard the old man pleading. "We need you now, the lord is dying and we need an heir"
"The original Poirot family is dead, and I need some time. When I get back, I'll make the Poirot family reborn," Nathan said.
The taxi driver suddenly hit the brake, causing Nathan to end the call accidentally. Nathan frowned and looked outside to see some gangsters in front of the car.
"We have been ambushed" The Taxi driver stuttered, his hands shaking on the steering wheel."Open this Goddamn door," One of the aggressive-looking gangsters hit the car. "Please, please, I have nothing. I've not made a single dime since morning," the taxi driver begged as he opened the door of the car, stepping out of the car with his hands in the air."You too, get down from the car." They pointed to Nathan, who sneered. He stepped down from the car, sweeping his gaze across the faces of the men who attacked him to see if he found their faces familiar."Nathan!!! Surprised?" A man walked from behind the gangsters and slowly approached Nathan with his head high. "No, I'm not. In fact, I thought you'd come with a thousand of your dogs that you call boys to fight with me," Nathan scoffed with his gaze on Nigel. The gangsters grumbled amongst themselves while staring at Nathan with bloodshot eyes as if they were about to rip his throat out of his body, making the taxi driver scared to
Nigel and the gangsters were terrified as they winced in pain. The only thought that crossed their minds was to leave the premises immediately, but they were surrounded. Nigel reached for the gun that fell from his hand when he got kicked the first time. He hid the gun, but he didn't have the balls to shoot anyone with it."My sister is the CEO of Foden Group and her boyfriend is Luke! If you hurt me, you'll regret it," Nigel shouted, but she ignored him. Nigel has never been in a situation like this before, he always had the upper hand, and most especially, he underestimated Nathan. He thought beating him up would just be a piece of cake.Nigel decided to risk his life by pulling the trigger on Nathan. He slowly tried bringing the gun from where he hid it."What's that you're hiding?" One of the hefty men in a black suit asked the second he saw him. Nigel didn't respond, his ego didn't get him to beg for them to let him go. "What's that you're hiding?" He asked again, but Nigel didn
Before Emma or Isabella could mention another word, Nathan ended the call and slid his phone into his back pocket.After ending the call, he turned to Lily who was standing beside him, and asked, "You haven't told me the reason why you chose to find me." A faint smile appeared on Lily's face then it instantly vanished after seeing the stern look on Nathan's face, "I need your help" she replied, causing Nathan to arch an eyebrow"Please come with me to the car," she said and Nathan reluctantly got into the car with her, "The Carbin mansion" Lily instructed the driver and he nodded in acknowledgment"Where are we going?" Nathan asked, with a frown on his face."The Carbin's family mansion?" she replied "No! Why are we going there?" He rephrased the question. Lily turned to him and heaved a long sigh before saying, "My family is in a big mess Nathan and we need your help," She continued, "The Lord of the Carbin family took our drugs and instead of getting better, he got worse and we n
"What's happening to my father?""What's wrong?" Everyone in the room began to panic, except Nathan. He kept his eyes on the Carbin's Lord."Everyone, calm down," He yelled just to get their attention, "Mr. Carbin will be fine," Nathan added. He turned to look at the faces of everyone in the room. He scoffed after sewing the expression on the doctor's face."Please, I don't want to lose my husband. Tell me what we need to do," Mrs. Carbin begged. Nathan didn't utter a word. He noticed the terrified look on Isabella's face before he took a few steps closer to the Lord, who was unconscious on the bed."He was poisoned," Nathan said as he took out a powder from his pocket. This spec powder can cure any poison in the world and it was invented by Nathan. He's the only one who knows its recipe. In the black market, one gram of the powder is worth half a million. People usually call it a magic drug because it works like magic.The room became pin-drop silent and everyone watched Nathan. No o
"No... no... no, I honestly wasn't aware of the poison," Doctor Tony stuttered, but no one listened to him"Save that crap for someone else! We thought that you were an expert, you're just a quack doctor and if not for this young gentleman, then my father would have been dead by now all because of your wrong medication," The first son of the family said in a rage. He was upset and couldn't imagine what would have happened if his father had died all because of that careless act."I'm sorry sir, I wasn't aware of the poison, it seems that it was hidden, please forgive me for my carelessness," the doctor begged"Okay, it's understandable that you're not good enough to save my father but then you tried to stop Nathan from curing my father all because you wanted to save your dignity," He continued with a frown on his face, "That's unacceptable"He turned to Nathan feeling grateful, "Thank you, Nathan, Even after we listened to this hypocrite and stopped you from giving your medicine to my
Lily strolled through her phone and dialed her assistant's number instantly to convene the press conference."Linda," Lily said as soon as her assistant answered the call"Good afternoon ma, I went through Mr. Carbin's file ma and...""We have sorted that, Linda. The Lord of the Carbin family is totally fine now," she informed her assistant."What... What happened ma, it was our drugs, right?" Lily giggled at how curious her assistant was. "You'll find out Linda, calm down, I have a reason for calling you," Lily said"Oh, I'm sorry ma, I'm just excited that we will finally stop receiving threats from the Carbin family," she said, causing me to smile faintly"I want you to convene a press conference tomorrow night at the Brown family mansion, okay?" Lily said."Yes, but tomorrow is the company's anniversary," Linda reminded her"I know. After the press conference, we'll start the anniversary party," Lily responded and ended the call. She turned to Nathan and asked, "I'm sorry for intr
"I live here and my house number is No. 1," Nathan said, causing the salesman to burst into laughter. The laughter was so infectious that the small crowd joined him in laughing."House No. 1 was sold to a mysterious rich man," the salesman informed. "And obviously, it seems like you're a homeless beggar that can't even afford a meal talk less of buying a house," He added"We should call the police," Isabella's friend suggested"Yes, let's call the police, he's a shameless criminal" They all agreed, and the salesman took his phone out of his pocket"Shameless beggar" "I can't believe that he shamelessly said that he owns a house here, someone that doesn't even have a place to have his bath," they mocked him. "I can't believe he imagined owning a house like that. Does he even know the price of it?" They mocked him and laughed.In the community, there were only 100 villas, and the smaller the numbers, the greater the price. No. 1 villa was the most expensive villa in the community. It
Isabella’s friend was beyond stunned, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing so she turned to the crowd and yelled, “Don’t believe this poor church rat, he’s nothing without my friend, I’m sure he just did one or two tricks here”The small crowd whispered amongst themselves, wondering if Nathan was right or not, but seeing the kind of clothes he was wearing made them doubt his claims“He’s the mysterious man that bought mansion number 1,” the administrator said, turning to face the crowd“And everyone here needs to apologize to him, no buts!” The administrator commanded, but the old woman hissed and spat.“Why would I do that? Why can’t he dress the way he wants to be addressed or did he use all his money to buy a house and forget to buy clothes and a car,” she said, causing everyone to murmur among themselves.“I agree, he’s just a poor man,” Two women chorused A smile formed on Isabella’s friend lips as she watched Nathan being humiliated by everyone around themBefore the Admini
