The air seemed to freeze as Chris’ piercing words boomed through the atmosphere. Even the guests that sat on the other tables around heard him even with the music being played in the party hall.“What did you say?” Albert gasped, stepping out of his chair with a loud screech. At the same time, his wife also stood up, angry that Chris had disrespected her husband. However, other members of the Rice family sat still as they enjoyed the moment. It was rare for the second son of the Rice family to be disrespected in such a manner and if he couldn't handle the situation, he would stand the risk of losing the CEO position. Of course, that was what everyone there wanted as each and everyone vied for the CEO position too but Albert seemed to be more favored by the Chairman. Albert stalked toward Chris, his eyes red in anger and embarrassment. If he felt if he didn't put Chris in his place then he would lose face. He raised his hand, aiming to send a hot slap straight at Chris’ face. “You

While the back and forth was going on and Chris sat at the table, he received a message from his father, telling him about the gift he had sent to the chairman of the Rice family. It was odd because Chris thought his father wanted him to do things on his own, however, he realized he could use this to shut the mouths of the mongers before him. “Really? You did that?” Walker’s eyes widened in shock. “How–”“Don’t be fooled, Walker.” Baron suddenly cut in. “Do you think it’s so easy to get something to father? Father is not here but you know he monitors everything going on here…”Baron’s eyes and voice were filled with so much contempt. “The reason why he still sitting here is because he is your exclusive guest and nothing else. A nobody like him shouldn't be allowed to sit before us!” Baron declared.The other family members chorused, as they couldn't believe that Chris’ identity was real. They also couldn't fathom how Walker was able to connect with such a person. The bum of the fa

Knock!Knock!!Two organized knocks resounded on the door and Chade immediately went to check on who it was. For a moment, he hesitated going back to the Chairman with what he had just received because the Chairman would surely rage in anger. But this would solidly solidify that Jones was planning something. He took the box from the messenger and went back to the Chairman. This time, he didn't bow because he had somehow crossed that boundary and there was no need to go back. “Chairman, there is a package from the Westminster family. It’s says it’s a present to you…” Chase read out the card attached to the package. When he looked up at the Chairman, he realized Gerald’s whole demeanor had changed. One thing Gerald hated was receiving gift packages from guests. The reason behind that was unknown to Chase or anyone in the family. “That Jones is definitely brazen…” Gerald sneered, trying to tone down his anger and hatred. He looked straight at the package with no ounce of emotion.

Reid never expected the car that crashed into him. It came from nowhere, where he wasn't even looking. He thought he had cornered Chris and he could finally have Chris in his grasp but he thought wrong. “Oh fuck” Reid coughed blood due to the impact he got from the other car. However, the other car didn't stop. It reversed and was aiming for Reid’s car again. Reid knew he had to get out of the car as soon as possible, or else, he would die instead of Chris. Swiftly, he took out the seat belt and flew out of the car before there was another impact. Bang!The impact came when he rolled to the floor, his hands and legs enduring scratches from the hard ground. At the same time, he watched his car roll down the highway, falling off the bridge. At that moment, he felt his life flash before his eyes and he wondered when things went wrong. When will he finally get back at Chris? When?He stood up to his feet, wiping the blood off his face. Chris was in the middle of the road and his ey

“What?” Chris frowned, in total confusion. “What are you saying?” He stared at Ria intently, expecting her to speak up but she only burst into more tears. The elegant Ria was no more and it only left a lady that was saddled with too many negative emotions while she tried to catch the eye of the person she wanted the most. “I…” She stuttered, crouching to the floor while she wiped her tears. The pain from her wrist caused her to wince in pain and she was overwhelmed with a sense of grief and hate. “I waited for you at the hospital. I harmed myself, just to see you but you didn't show up…” She cried. “I thought you brought me back home to give me a new life and here I was, hoping that I would see your face again.”“I was ready to do whatever, for you to see me in a new light again…” Her lips quivered as her voice shook. “But no… that wasn't your plan. You brought me back here to suffer. You wouldn't even look at me and all through you had your gaze on that bitch!”“That traitor!” Ri
