Kai couldn't help but marvel at the realization—the Grant family practically controlled half the city, yet few knew about the tight-knit connection between these powerful figures.He wondered how they were able to keep their connection under wraps, a secret, from the entire world because only few knew about this.“Well, thank you so much for accepting me.” Kai said. He had no idea what to say or how to show them that he was indeed grateful for having them in his corner.Teresa and Catherine only smiled, Lorenzo snickered and Shadow could be seen desperately wishing that the dinner would end because he wanted to go home.“Shadow; how many times have I told you that you need to socialize more, you need to get in the sun and not mope around your house all day.” Catherine laughed as she said.“Leave him alone, Catherine, he might be the legendary hacker but he definitely is the baby of the group.” Teresa cut in as she poured Shadow a drink.“Don’t worry, Shadow, you let me know if anyone

Lila’s brows drew together in a frown as anger took over the entirety of her facial expression. Her teeth gritted so hard that even Jake could hear it.She clenched her fist, anger was suffocating her and she was not only restless but she felt as though there was a volcano inside of her that was at the verge of eruption.Her fist balled up in anger, her frustration kicked in and fury twisted dangerously inside her. She couldn’t believe that Kai now had the audacity to go that far.“I CANNOT BELIEVE HIM!” She said through gritted teeth, her body shaking furiously and all she could see through her angry bloodshot eyes were red.She wanted to deal with him, to let him know that he had no right whatsoever to humiliate them like that, she wanted to put him in his place.“And that wench! I can’t believe her!” Lila’s breathing paced as she spoke and frantically dialed her phone, her fury was obvious in her body language.“She got us blacklisted?! She got us blacklisted from the most prestigi

On hearing that, the manager broke out in a cold sweat, his legs going weak as he bowed respectfully and apologized repeatedly.“I am so sorry ma’am! I’m really sorry, ma’am, I had no idea that he was your guest.” He apologized, desperate to get Catherine to spare him.His heart thudded rapidly against his chest and his fear was obvious in his eyes and the way the color drained from his face.He didn’t expect that Kai was an important guest, especially a guest of the most important customer of the restaurant. The manager knew that no matter how much he tried, he could never get another customer like Catherine.Also, losing a customer like her would spell doom for them and that was the last thing he wanted, anger for the Benson family brimmed inside him as he apologized again.“Sir, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to—”“Let’s just go inside,” Kai said to Catherine, ignoring the manager who was trying to apologize to him because the damage had been done already.If Catherine hadn’t come

“I’m sorry for the disturbance and whatever inconvenience it might have caused.” Kai said calmly to the restaurant manager.“I’m not who they claim I am, actually,” Kai said politely with a smile while pushing the thoughts of the Benson family to the deepest, darkest part of his mind.He doesn’t need to worry himself about them when he has other things to worry about.“I’m actually a guest dining in a private room.” He explained as politely as he could but while Lila bursted out laughing hysterically, the manager eyed Kai suspiciously.It was clear that even the manager was holding back his urge to laugh because there was no way he’s going to believe that Kai was really dining in the private room.The private room is reserved for people that are extraordinarily wealthy, it was for people who had made a huge name for themselves and not for people that looked like Kai.“Really?” The manager asked, still eyeing Kai suspiciously. He found it extremely difficult to believe that someone lik

Kai smiled heartwarmingly, he was finally going to be amongst people that make him feel wanted and among. People that wouldn’t do anything to betray or sabotage him.“We will be going to the private dining area, they are already waiting for us there.” Catherine said and just before they could step in, Kai felt pressed.He needed to use the restroom as soon as possible and Catherine was worried at first but when Kai explained that it was nothing major, she calmed down.“Where is the private dining area?” Kai asked Catherine who immediately told him how he was going to get there.“Very well then,” Kai said when Catherine was done showing him directions, “I’ll be there in a minute so you wait for me, please.” He added politely.Catherine’s face immediately turned red and her cheek felt so hot that it was almost as if she had gotten sunburned as she smiled at him.It was very rare to see men as wealthy as Kai be so humble and respectful to the people around them and even though he only kn

Nora’s stomach pain became so severe that her vision started getting blurry, she fought hard to remain conscious but it felt like she was going to faint.“My. Phone.” She forced the words out as she asked Jake to help her get her phone but Jake was still worried about leaving her.“It’s right on the table, I need to call Lila! I’ll be fine.” The words rushed out of her mouth in a bid to put Jake’s mind at ease.Scanning the room with his eyes, they soon landed on the phone that was on the table and without hesitation or a second thought, he rushed to get it.Jake never really cared about the Benson family, he didn’t care about anything but their money, the inheritance and he couldn’t let Nora die too.He knew that soon everything would become his so all he had to do was act as if he wanted Nora to live, as if he liked Kai and Kai was the one who didn’t like him back.“If I knew, I would have found a way to get the name of the herb from him.” Jake said to himself while Nora scrolled th
