Chapter 21
Getting upstairs, Anthony saw a rigid, towering security guard mounted on the entrance with his arms folded across his chest. His face was devoid of a smile. It was mean, serious, and rocky. No smiles at all. Merely looking at him, one would notice he wasn't there for jokes. He meant business.The driver, taken aback, at the sight, paused and hid behind Anthony. But Anthony didn't flinch at all. He approached the security guard with a calm but firm expression. “Your eligibility?” The security guard slightly headed down, and asked Anthony. Anthony simply let out a knowing smile. He's aware of what he wants. “A minute,” he said, reaching out to his phone from his pocket. Pulling it out, he turned on his mobile data and tapped on his bank app, allowing it to load fully.As he waited for it to load, he couldn't help but let his smirk widen, pleased at how the security guard was taking his job too seriously.“Not bad at his job,” he murmured only for himself to hear. Finally glancing

Harry blinked slightly at Aria, his expression readable. “That's a huge amount,” he said, hardly above a whisper. His voice broke as he added, “I don't have that in my account.”Aria winked, slightly nodding. A flush of disbelief and shame etched on her face. “No, that can't be,” she argued as if she was in Harry's bank app.She has complete trust in Harry to have that amount. “Open your bank app. Check. It's there. Show it to him and let's go in.” Her voice was undoubtedly firm.Harry frowned slightly, irritated by her pressure. His voice rose, a little harsh as he replied. “I don't. Nine hundred million dollars isn't a small amount of money. It's big. You don't expect me to have that in my account.”“You must! You're rich, Harry.” Aria wasn't going to let herself look like an arrogant fool in front of this security guard, not especially after all her bragging.Harry swallowed hard, his irritation palpable. Charlotte interrupted, placing her hand on Aria's shoulder. “Please, stop M

“Get lost!” The security guard arrived outside, throwing Harry to the ground. His expression was cold and dangerous. Harry coughed hard, his hand on his throat as if trying to soften the pain. The grip was suffocating. Very deadly.The security guard faced Aria, who was still recovering from the tight slap, his expression was dark.“Go and never return since you're so stupid. I don't want to see these faces here again!” His gaze moved, glaring hard at Harry on the ground, then Charlotte, and finally at Aria. Without a word, he turned around and stomped away. His feet trampled heavily on the ground.Harry stood up, his face paled. Now that the security guard was gone, he was going to run his mouth.“Fuck him!” He shouted, his face birthed with rage. “How dare he treat me like this? He'll see what I got! I had the money in my account, much more than that but I didn't want to show him. I know people like him. If I had shown him my bank balance, they'd organized assassins to harass me o

The day broke across the town, a neatly dressed woman around the age of forty, sat on an elegant sofa, her legs crossed on each other. Her short pants revealed her thighs. A laptop was placed on her lap, and an iPhone 16 Pro was in her hand.Her skin was smooth, glowing under the daylight. Her pink lips parted into a wide laugh as she stared at her screen.“Oh, wow. She performs extremely well,” the woman praised, watching a Tiktok video on her phone’s screen. “She's deserving of a gift,” she added, slowly navigating to Tiktok’s gifts option. Without blinking she gifted the creator a lion's head sticker. With squared shoulders, she muttered, her voice filled with pride. “Unto the next.”She began scrolling through the video feeds, watching random videos, and joining lively videos as well. Just then, a woman roughly dressed walked into the living room, her expression fearful. “Madam Elizabeth,” she called, her voice trembling as she interrupted the moment.Elizabeth, distracted, pau

The clock ticked too fast and the time was nine o'clock already. The bright morning sun shone even more brightly through the thick curtains, escaping into the vast, luxurious room.On a large king-sized bed in the room, Anthony's eyes slowly fluttered open. He stretched his body, wiping his face with his hand.Sluggishly, he stood up, sitting on the bed. His eyes widened as he saw the time. “Five minutes past nine already?” He muttered, yawning. “I've overslept,” he chuckled softly, “but there's no problem. No one yells at me. Haha.” Without wasting time, he jumped out of bed and headed straight to the bathroom. Not long, he was out. His teeth were brushed, and his face was washed. He sat back on the bed, a picture of the dinner moment with the driver yesterday, running through his mind. He smiled and soon it grew wider. “It was great fun. Their meals were worth the hype,” he muttered, his expression cool but resolute. “I enjoyed it.”Turning beside, he grabbed his phone. He looke

Right after the call ended, Anthony's grip tightened on his phone. “Why are people this mean and heartless?” He muttered, his voice feeble and shaky. “Such an innocent jovial girl yet they're treating her badly.” A tear formed in his eyes. His face contorted into a tight frown. “Mia and her mother don't deserve any of this they're getting,” he muttered, his voice dripping with emotions. “They really don't. I'll make sure I set them free. Will do everything within my power and influence to ensure they're taken out of that hell.”“And the people behind this,” he paused, his face red with rage, “I'll make sure they pay dearly.” He said, his mind already thinking of how this will be executed. “I don't want to go about it with violence. I want everything to be done peacefully.” He uttered and paused, automatically everywhere cool, devoid of any sound—no sound at all. Absolutely tranquil.Just in the next twenty minutes, his lips curled into a small but victorious smile. Nodding his head,

Meanwhile, in a beautiful, professionally arranged living room, a beautiful lady lay her back on a couch, flipping through the pages of a magazine and reading its content. Her smooth, glowing skin radiates under the morning sun. Her lips were pink. Close to her, on a table, was a glass of water she randomly sipped from, after a little long read. Her phone suddenly began to ring, distracting her from peaceful reading. She frowned slightly, sitting up. “Oh, this is coming at the wrong time,” she murmured, slapping her forehead softly. Reaching out the glass of water, she sipped it briefly before reaching for her phone. Her face lit up in a small smile as she caught a glimpse of who the caller was. Harry, her crush months back when he usually comes to dine at the restaurant where she's still currently working. “It's him. Finally,” she said, dragging the green button up for an answer. Still patiently waiting, the phone was still glued to his ear, awaiting an answer. The c

“Can you send me the footage of last night from the top floor of Saffron and Sage? I need to check something.” Harry said, finding his voice awkward but he maintained a calm demeanor.Georgina's face turned pale, and her breath caught. This was the last thing she'd expected. Raising an eyebrow in surprise, she asked. “What? Footage from the restaurant? Top floor at that? No, there's high privacy there. We prioritize our customers’ privacy. I'm sorry that can't be possible.”Harry heaved, his face awkward. “I understand how it sounds, but trust me, this will be left as a secret just between the both of us.”“There's this guy I'm searching for. He sneaked into the restaurant last night and I couldn't find him. I just need to get my hands on him,” he lied with gritted teeth.Georgina moved her head, sideways, doubting. “That's not possible, Harry. I have been working there for years now. Saffron and Sage is tightly secured with security guards at every corner of the place. Nobody can sn

When Anthony got outside, he flagged down a cab and slid inside with a composed demeanor. “Take me to Luxe Motors Co. LTD.”The driver nodded instantly and drove off.Meanwhile, Charlotte flicked between Aria, her mother, and Harry in disbelief in shock.They had just finished watching the footage and Aria had joined them right before they started to watch it. Aria's mouth swung open in bewilderment. What she just watched left her in astonishment and she couldn't say a word. Harry's face paled, and his eyes widened in awe. No matter how hard he tried to mask his stunned expression and keep a composed demeanor, it still failed.Charlotte reached out for the phone in Harry's hand, rewatching the footage that had been sent—the calm, composed but firm demeanor of Anthony showing the security guard his account balance cutting her heart like a blade.Although the balance didn't show but with the way the security guard startled in the video, quickly stepping aside for Anthony to go in, pas

As the cab halted, Anthony paid the driver before stepping out of the car, completely attracting attention to himself by his outfit. Passersby halted in their tracks, completely forgetting they were heading somewhere. They stared at Anthony as if he descended from heaven down to earth.Their gazes were filled with a mix of admiration and jealousy. Whispers erupted into the air.Anthony casually reached his hand into his pocket, pulling out his phone, pretending to be operating it. But he wasn't. He was just trying to stay calm and composed, not squaring up his shoulders to the chatter of praises around him, as he walked towards the showroom not a few steps afar off.Immediately, the sales associates saw Anthony approaching, and they all stood, hurrying up to him.“Over here, sir. Good morning. Come to this side,” one said. “We have the best cars.”“Is it the Mercedes Benz AMG that you want? We have it. Standard one, sir.” “We have a branded set of Range Rovers, sir.”As they gathe
