“Hahahah!” Elvis chuckled, “Asher, what makes you think that will be possible. Stop bluffing, I am the one who arranged for this gathering, so your coming wasn’t part of it. You should be grateful you got some free food and drink.”Murmurings and whispers filled the hall, as the other friends talked amongst themselves. Asher wasn’t concerned about who organised the event; the only reason he had come was because of Chris’s invitation. He could not possibly ignore Chris. But he was expecting Elvis and his friends to act maturely and not taunt another person because they felt they were better.“You know you are such a bully, and people like you don’t deserve a place in the society!” Asher muttered.Elvis glared disdainfully at Asher, “Whoever doesn’t have money should not be invited to any gathering. What if we decided to do some fundraising? Will you be able to cough up a hundred thousand dollars, or will he?”At this time, Asher frowned before he said. “Okay, then, if that’s the case,

Everyone was shocked when Elvis kneeled before Asher, “Please, help me. I don't want to lose my job. Please, I didn't know you were related to Mark Spencer, I don't know what came over me.”“Related! Mark Spencer!” Everyone was shocked as they exchanged glances.“What are you talking about, Elvis. I don't know what you're saying. I don't know anyone named Mark.” Asher defended himself.In fact, Asher was furious that Elvis said that. Everyone looked at Elvis, wondering what was happening. How could the arrogant Elvis kneel before Asher?What's happening? At this point, Elvis didn't care about the words from his friends. He shook his head and cried as he pleaded. “I didn't mean for things to happen this way, please I need my job back.”“What's wrong, Elvis!” Dustin asked.Elvis ignored him, his face turned pale as he continued to plead. “Elvis, if you can't make the transfer you should lick the floor with your tongue. Remember you were the one who set the rules.” Asher went ahead

Ricardo leaned backward on the leather chair, still feeling unsettled about everything happening to him. He felt like he had been cursed; he was half deaf and his heart was throbbing with pain.He had cancelled all his meetings, all because he couldn’t bring himself to attend, knowing he had hearing issues.“How would be listen to their words properly? How would he face the press and the world?” He thought.However, he felt his tension eased a bit when he remembered the old man’s words, he felt assured, and within a few days, he would regain his hearing and get back at Asher.Lorenzo walked inside, and his gaze met with Ricardo. “Mr. Gallo, you are smiling.” His voice was low and deliberate.Ricardo sighed softly as he tilted his glass before sipping, “I was thinking about the old man’s words, Lorenzo! I feel excitement knowing I will feel better soon.”Lorenzo smiled, as he stepped forward, “Mr. Gallo, that’s good news. I have something I’d like to discuss with you.” “What’s it?”

She wished she could call for help, she broke down in tears, how could she hurt Asher, someone who had helped him, he was the one who helped her regain her beautiful face, and Isabella gave her a reason to feel happy again, the job, the sisterly love and care.“Please, I can do something else, I will get the money but don’t drag Isabella or Asher into this.”“You don’t have a choice, I am doing this so it will be easy for both of us. You get her husband or boyfriend to pay the money, and we are even, we go our separate ways, no one will know you are involved in this. I won’t say anything else.”Rodney had an indifferent expression on his face, as he stared at her coldly, as he said. “You don’t have to choose, you either do it or my men take a turn. What do you think,”An evil smirk formed by the side of the lips of the men, Tonia could only cry, she knew better than to utter a word or refuse. “While you are going to make the call, don’t try anything stupid, don’t call the police or s

Rodney hesitated, as he said. “Some years ago, Tonia and I were lovers. We were supposed to get married but that night her uncle came back home and was trying to take advantage of her. Tonia had killed him, and she was scared of going to jail. I took the blame while she made a promise to wait for me. I did that out of love, but she never cared about me. She got married and never visited me. I was furious.”He continued and said. “Now, I am back and I can’t get a job because I am an ex-convict. I demand a million dollars as compensation. She has given me $450,000. I came to demand my balance.”Vandy frowned when he heard Rodney’s words. “Why did you involve Mr. Mancini in this, you planned on holding him hostage.”Rodney was stunned, he trembled in fright when he heard Vandy’s words. He wished he could tell Vandy the truth, but then he knew it would be a bad idea. Asher was never supposed to come into the plan, but after he saw Asher with Tonia, he followed him home. He thought about
