Selena was surprised at the stranger's confidence, her pupils dilated as if she had taken more than what she could handle. However, she led the way forward while Reed walked right behind her, his hands clenching, hoping everything could be resolved soon so he could meet the couples that thought they could get away with what they did. They soon entered an office filled with a few officers. The moment they sighted their boss, they immediately dropped to their knees.However, their faces shifted to scorn the moment they laid eyes on Reed. Despite their expressions, they knew better than to question Selena's orders as she stretched out a card to them. “I want this verified immediately!” She said firmly while Reed took a seat as he watched everything unfold with calm detachment. Only then did one of them have the card collected from the woman. Upon examining it, his eyes widened in shock. “Ma'am, this seems to be a fake.”“It's a counterfeit version of the original card if it belongs

“You can leave now!” Reed said curtly the moment he has his gaze fixed on the man who seemed to be enjoying an evening wine with his phone fixed on his left ear as if that was all that mattered. “Mr Reed, I don't know what difference you may have with Mr Cornell but I think you should give up now. This man is not someone you dare to mess with.If you dare to try anything, he can kill you. A lot of guards surround him” Selena continued, her voice husky that he may hurt the gentleman she had come to admire cause of his simplicity. At once, Reed could sense the brokenness laced in her voice. She had once been crushed. Then, he held her hands and closed his eyes, travelling into her current mind while he hoped that she would not have to think about something else that could disrupt the whole process or have her hands jerked off from him. Innermost whispers.Then, he saw what Cornell did to her. A cold gaze appeared at the corner of his face. Turned out he must have hurt a lot of peop

At once, Reed burst into a cold laughter. That shameless woman? Why would he come all the way from home just to punish him for her? Of course she chose her path and it's left for her to enjoy it!Her punishment was definitely different from his. He had other businesses he had to attend to. “Oh that cheap slut? You can have her! I want back my father's business you took away from us”Selena could not help but gasp again as she looked at her boss who seemed like an abandoned prickle the moment he fell on his knees. Definitely, this homeless man must be someone extremely important. He was only in a disguise. He must have been cheated and felt angered. However, his face became drained of colour the moment he heard that. He knew that was not possible especially now that Harrison was involved and yet, he did not want to offend the man by stepping on his toes. He knew what that alone would mean. “Did you come here for that?” Cornell asked with a heavy sigh. This was the one of the reas

At once, Cornell's mind went blank as he looked at Reed who had a piercing look of coldness on his face. He could not believe what he just heard. Was this not the same man from three years ago? What exactly changed about him and how dare he demand a fortune of what he mustered his sweat to gather?Suddenly, fury rose within him as he clenched his fist. How dare this prick ask him that?Not even in his lifetime could he be worth it! Who the hell did he think he was?He knew what he did to get what he wanted! “Listen, I have nothing to offer you, you silly greedy, homeless lad that has nothing but wants to eat up my sweat.”Cornell mustered the courage to say, inwardly scared that he could end up being frozen like his guards. However, Reed laughed bitterly. He'd heard about this man so many times while he was in prison. He knew about his tactics. Immediately, the haggard man held his hands firmly. Only then did Cornell realize that he was more stronger than he was to the extent th

However, just as Reed was about to say something else, a loud thud followed. “Darling, what did you just do?” He heard a familiar voice which made him turn around only to see the fury laced on Cornell's eyes followed by the shock on his wife's face. “You're nothing but bad luck! How dare your ex threaten me? Surely, you both did this to me to steal my money, huh?I should have killed both you and that bastard well three years ago!”He asked in anger. However, some of the guests who had always envied Sharon hurriedly brought out their phones to take pictures of what was going on. Truly, all that glitters is not gold!Only when she realized that there were flashes of phone cameras did she come back to her senses. At once, her reputation became her priority as it held worry. “Cornell, we can't do this here. You can punish me however you like later but there are guests around!” She whispered, not wanting to turn around in embarrassment, gritting her teeth. She could hear the chuckle
