Gasps filled the room as people began to murmur."Oh my God, I like the new chairman already.""Yes, he is so calm and composed. Look at the way he answered that question."The journalist who had asked the question was instantly covered in shame. He had expected the question to catch Edward off guard, but Edward hadn't merely answered—he had answered in a way that made it seem as though he was brushing a speck of dust off his shirt. Now, people seemed to like him even more.He didn't even have the nerve to ask the other questions he had planned. He had thought this whole thing would work so well. Disappointment twisted his face. He looked around the room, his eyes searching for someone. At the same time, that person's eyes were already resting on him, and their gazes collided. Immediately, they both looked away, their chests beating nervously.Edward noticed this. He shook his head before saying, in a calm voice with a stern warning lurking beneath the calm tone, "This is not a questi

Noticing they were the ones Edward was addressing, Isabel and her children exchanged a quick glance.Before anyone could formulate a reasonable response, Mia flashed a wide smile, though deep down, she knew it didn't reach her eyes. She refused to let anyone undermine her position as the first child of the family, nor her standing in their father's eyes. And if she was to reclaim the pride she had once seen in her father's gaze that day of Edward's introduction, she knew that making a move while her father's hands appeared tied was her best opportunity."Of course, cousin, we will stay," she said smoothly. "We do not support our father in this. We weren't even aware he had his own share already."She turned to face her mother and Silas. "Right?""Of course we're not leaving," Silas quickly supported his wife.Isabel hesitated, confusion flickering across her features. She wanted to scream, to yank Mia by the ear because what in heaven's name was she saying? They had all been fully awa

Master Feng's smirk faltered. His eyes darted to the papers from the folder that had scattered across the table then back to Edward's face. He was still trying to understand Edward's boldness, this newfound audacity that seemed to have evolved from thin air. How had he gotten his hands on this information? The worst of it all, no one had ever said this to him before. He thought his brother Zhenyu Junior was the only one who knew that particular secret, and since his brother was dead, he had believed that little secret had died with him. But now, with Edward somehow obtaining such sensitive information, Feng realized he had once again underestimated the young man. Even with the Gavins case that had been ongoing, Edward hadn't folded his arms concerning Master Feng. Though the old man had been quiet lately, Edward knew there was no way he was giving up so soon. The silence was definitely only the calm before a storm. Edward didn't wait before continuing. His voice came out calm

Master Feng had gotten a message that Edward was in the building already, so he immediately left the 20th floor where he had been waiting for Edward.Jason was right behind him, having lurked around after he called Edward.Now the three men stood just inches away."It seems I've been quite too calm, Edward." Master Feng laughed, but the sound was hollow, his eyes staying cold and fixed. "All that you have right now belongs to me. So I think you should walk away right now, or you watch me do something crazy to you." His hands stayed buried in the pockets of his tailored suit, fingers curled tight.Edward didn't blink. He didn't even shift his weight. He simply stood there, hands loose at his sides, meeting Feng's stare without a flicker. "Well, you can talk to my grandmother about that."Just then, Mrs. Zhenyu's voice cut through the air, followed by a small cough. "What the hell is going on here?"***Back at the hospital, after Dave got off the call and Adriana said she was coming wi

Last night, after Ethan and Ruby were arrested by the police that was led by junior Tank, they were immediately locked up in the cell until early this morning when they were taken to court.Since the news was everywhere and a lot of people were now interested in the case, including the government, time wasn't even spent at the court. The sentence was read out in less than two minutes after the court was seated."Ethan Gavins, you have been found guilty of rape, which you have constantly denied. As such, you will spend thirty years in prison instead of the twenty-five years for forced penetration."Ethan's face was bowed as he swallowed so hard that his throat hurt, as though a fish bone was hanging right there in his throat, scraping him from the inside.The judge proceeded immediately "Ruby Gavins, for aiding and abetting your husband's and son's crimes, you have been sentenced to five years in prison."He looked up to simply glance his eyes around the mother and son seated on the su

Ruby didn't even know how bitter she felt against Ethan until the next words flew out of her mouth. "Hey son, it seems you are wanted. Guess there's no way I can cover for you now." Her tone was mixed with happiness and mockery that even surprised her."It seems this family started having bad luck the minute Edward left us." Ruby laughed regret wash over her.The voice came again. "Ethan Gavins, this is your last warning. Come out."After a few seconds, feet started pounding on the ground rapidly, and Ruby's bedroom door flew open."Hands where we can see them!" a voice thundered."You will rot in jail, I guess." Ruby mocked Ethan.Ethan, on the other hand, almost wanted to disappear. What the hell was going on? How did the government seizing the Gavins' property lead to his arrest? Camila's case came up in his mind, but he quickly trashed it with so much confidence because the case had been dismissed today. They had nothing against him.It wasn't until a tall man walked into the room

Alex paced in his room, he didn't like whenever the Darius family was mentioned anymore. To Alex, he felt like not everyone deserved love and the Darius family was one of them."You get what you give" Alex's mother would always say, the words of his mother were like guidelines to AlexHe tried to shift his thoughts away from them and focus on more important things. Alex picked up his phone and dialed Hailey's number"Hey," Hailey said as soon as she answered the call"Hello, can we meet," Alex said"Yeah, yeah, I want us to clear something up," Hailey said"Ok, I would also love to talk to you" Alex responded.

"I suspect that Mrs. Darius didn't keep to her part of the deal, maybe she tried to act smart and kill the man," Mr. Kim said"You are right" Alex agreed"But we can never be too sure" He added.

Alex couldn't wait to see him, they were all happy that he was finally coming homeMeanwhile, Mr. Xavier came out of the plane and used his eyes to scan around for his lovely grandson and Mr. Kim."Grandpa," Alex said as soon as he sighted Mr. Xavier, with a smile on his face he rushed to meet Mr. Xavier"How have you been, Grandpa," Alex asked"I've been great, what about you," Mr. Xavier asked"I'm fine Grandpa," Alex said"Welcome back home sir," Mr. Kim said"Thank you, Kim, I can see that you took good care of my boy," Mr. Xavier said and laughed"I'm no

James drove to the Xavier's estate straight, his car finally came to a stop in front of the Darius quarter in Mr. Xavier's estateHe came out of the car and briskly walked into the house where he saw Abigail crying on the floor.Abigail didn't know when James walked into the house, she was weeping as she didn't know what had happen to them after the news."What happened," James asked as soon as he got close to Abigail, Abigail raised her head and turned to face her brother"Mother was arrested because of the tanker accident, James," Abigail said"Since yesterday I noticed her off behavior, she acting weird and I don't know what happened" Abigail added"What do you mean by she has been acting weird," James asked"I heard her the other day when she said that she is doing all these for our future and she wouldn't let us find out about anything," Abigail said"What does she mean," James asked"I don't know and that's what I tried to find out when I was listening to what she saying the oth

Lee said"She finished all the difficult parts before leaving so the rest was just minor work," Mr. Kim said"Oh," Lee said, they both walked into Alex's office"It's almost time," Alex said immediately after he saw them"We will soon find out the truth," Lee said, and just then, Alex's phone began to ring, it was the same number that called him ye

"How then do I buy my clothes," Linda asked as she glared at Lisa, and Lee couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction"I'm sorry if I annoyed you" Lisa apologized"It's just that I haven't been to a mall as big as this" Linda said, Lee stared at her for a few seconds before looking away"These are the latest collection in the market," Lisa said as she brought out some pair of shoes, heels, and a lot more"Pick as much as you want," Lee said and Linda was puzzled, these were very expensive and three shoes could be her salary for a month"But they look very expensive," Linda said"Not as expensive as you are and Alex wants you to get the best it's a way of appreciating all that you did and how you supported him, you were a good secretary and staff," Lee said with a smile.
