Daven thought for a moment. These students weren’t worth telling the truth to, after all, they had already looked down on him. “I don’t have any relationship with them.” He shook his head. “What do you mean you don’t? The Dean came for you himself and you both even talked about Doctor Blackman.”“Are you trying to play us here?” They eyed him. Daven took a deep breath as he settled into one available seat. “It was just a casual misunderstanding. I cleared it off before he left. I don’t know either of them.”“Oh, is that so?” They chuckled. “You were acting all cocky just now. One would think you have some backing.”“What if I don’t?” He sneered. “Why are you all eavesdropping anyway? Isn't that classless?”“Don’t insult us!” They fired back at him. “Then get the fuck away from my sight if you don’t want me to do that!” Daven tapped on his table, silently counting down the seconds until he would blow up on them if they didn't leave. His gaze bored into them, like vines crawling on

Gerald excitedly got discharged from the hospital. He had paid the ten men off, to disappear from the surface of the earth, after being discharged as well. But he was going to come back stronger. They got into Lady West’s car, drove off while leaving Arya right there. After toiling for Gerald all night, she was abandoned. Her fists clenched and unclenched, her blood boiling hot. She hated her brother for putting her in this predicament and hated Maya even more. However, she decided she just had to be patient and work things out with Gerald later. She was just a girl, trying to survive and escape a poor life her brother couldn't help the family escape. She could do it herself. On the other hand, Maya was excitedly chatting with Lady West, while Gerald sat beside them like a King, ready to go to his kingdom. They reached their destination, where the house was located and the car stopped.“You really got it?” Gerald asked again, as he was still doubting his mother in the car. But now

“Watch your mouth!” Daven growled, quickly dashing to stand before Elena. His eyes dimmed and he stared at Gerald with a feral gaze. If he as much moved an inch closer to her, he would be destabilized like those ten men. The only barrier between them was the gate. Gerald felt chills run down his spine at that moment and Maya quickly hid behind him. However, Lady West though scared of Daven’s current stance, she was more interested in what he could do.“Why are you staring at my son that way?” She snarled. “Get your eyes away from him or I am going to gouge them out!”“You?” Daven clicked his tongue mockingly. “You are breathing so heavily for a son who can’t even stand up for himself.”“What did you say?” Gerald barged in, his steps moving closer to the gates to face Daven directly. But then he halted, knowing he could get beaten up again. “If you know what’s good for you, pauper, get the fuck out of my property before I unleash the cops on you!”“Your property?” Daven sneered. “I g

Daven took a deep breath, silently contemplating what he was going to do. He had no idea where the patriarch was in the mansion. However, he just had to follow his instincts. He followed the route the attendants had left in and he found a staircase that led to the first floor of the mansion. He followed, hearing footsteps and as soon as he got to the top of the stairs, he saw a man coming out of a room. “What are you doing?” The man asked, stepping closer to him with his huge muscular body. “I am here to see the patriarch.” Daven pointed out. “Is that why you are here? This is a restricted space, you shouldn't be here.” The man rebutted, his gaze fixed on Daven with a dangerous edge to it. “Ohh…I didn’t know that.” Daven feigned ignorance but then raised his brows. “Are you supposed to be here too?”He had not seen this man with the other attendants who welcomed him. Though he could never know the number of people that worked in the mansion but this man definitely did not seem li

Daven moved like a flash, catching the sharp end of the knife in his hand and it dug deeply into his palm, his blood dripping heavily. “You dare stand in our way!” The man who had appeared all of a sudden barked. He looked just like the muscular man from earlier and it was obvious they worked together. He dragged the knife right out of Daven’s hand and was about to stab him in the face once again when Daven pulled back. He had no patience left to fight this man and so, he ran into the room he had approached earlier, and as soon as he got in, he opened his mouth in shock. The servants from earlier who had attended to him were huddled up inside. Some had gotten injured and their blood spilled all over the room. “Shit!” Daven cursed as he realized this was a full-blown attack on the entire West mansion. An influential family such as this was attacked! In just a few minutes he arrived, they had all been besieged! “Save us!” They all cried, right on their knees with their hands clas
