“You can taste it and see things for yourself. It's amazing. You'll love it,” John gestured toward the car, his tone soft and respectful.Anthony held the key, the paperwork on the other hand. “Thank you for the smooth process,” he said, nodding in appreciation. Calm and composed, he pressed the panic key fob, activating the horn and lights. The sound of the horn was quite loud, drawing the attention of passersby. Some paused and admired briefly, dropping remarkable comments before promptly leaving. But some couldn't help but froze at a spot, staring at it.Unbeknownst to Anthony, thousands of eyes were fixed on him. Head up, Anthony felt slightly but briefly embarrassed as he took notice of the lingering stares. “I have got to leave now. Thank you once again,” he turned and said to John, his tone soft but gushed out hurriedly. Without glancing around, he hit the unlock key fob, automatically unlocking the door to the driver's seat, and slid into the car.Inside, Anthony sank onto

For a second, Elizabeth seemed startled at the voice as she jerked her tightened grip off Mia's wrist in response.Turning towards the door, her eyes widened in surprise but a tight frown etched on her face. “You?”Freed, Mia rushed to Dorcas' side immediately. “Mom, mom.” She called, her voice trembling as she buried herself into Dorcas' arms. Dorcas glanced up at the door, heaving in slight relief. A small discreet smile crept onto her face as she recognised the figure that stood at the door.Glancing down at Mia, she muttered, only for her to hear. “The uncle, he is here for us.” Mia glanced up, instantly wiping her eyes.Wei looked up, his face twisted in disgust as reality dawned on him. He recognized the figure. “It’s you, Anthony. Poor boy,” Wei laughed, his voice mocking. “You made my heart skip a bit, haha.”Standing at the door, Anthony's eyes widened in disbelief and shock as he instantly recognized the two figures. “Uncle Wei? Auntie Elizabeth?” He muttered, his shoulder

“Charlotte, Charlotte!” Aria shouted, panic and annoyance in her voice. Charlotte hurriedly came downstairs with Harry following closely behind her. “Mom? What's the problem? You're shouting my name,” Charlotte asked, studying Aria's panicked face.Aria took a shaky breath as if trying to steady herself. “Charlotte,” she stuttered. “Your Auntie—Auntie Elizabeth—just called me that your uncle–Wei—is in the hospital.”“What?” Charlotte felt her breath caught, her eyes widening in disbelief and shock. “What really happened?” Aria paused, skepticism also in her eyes, but she continued anyway. “According to Elizabeth, her serving woman reported to Anthony, that she and Wei were mistreating her and her daughter—”Immediately Charlotte heard Anthony's name, her earlier shocking face twisted into that of disdain and she interrupted before Aria could continue. “How does that have to do with Uncle being in the hospital?” “That's where I'm coming to,” Aria quickly replied. “She said Anthony c

Meanwhile, a Mercedes Benz AMG accelerated, its four tires moving gracefully on the smooth road. Inside, Dorcas, seated at the back with a fearful expression, glanced around, the interior making her feel uncomfortable.Her gaze shifted to Anthony, who sat on the driver's seat, his hand on the steering wheel, turning it with a cool demeanor; disbelief flashed through her eyes. She had never believed him to be this rich, even after he bought items worth $50k earlier that day while shopping alone. There's something much more about this guy that she hadn't known yet? Her gaze lingered on him as she pondered on her thoughts loud in her mind.“Mom, Uncle Anthony's so rich!” Mia, who had also been staring around, said, snapping Dorcas from her trance of thoughts. “He has more money than Sir Wei and his wife, but he's not wicked like them.”Dorcas smirked lightly and nodded. “You're right, but you should stay calm now, okay?” Mia tilted her head in understanding, not proceeding. She swall

The next morning, Harry stood tall in his beautiful suit that did a lot to his appearance. He adjusted his suit, positioning it very well, then glanced down at his wristwatch. It was 8 a.m. sharp. “Charlotte, please, hurry up so we don't get there late,” he uttered, his patience snapping thin. “So many people will be there to present their proposal and we can't afford to get there late.”As Harry waited for Charlotte to arrive, he moved to a corner, scrolling through his phone, and finally dialed a number.After a few rings, the call connected. A voice from the other end answered. “Hello, who's on the line?” Harry frowned slightly. “It's Harry Winston speaking. Don't tell me my contact isn't stored in your phone.”The other gasped in recognition. “Oh, Harry, it's you,” he exclaimed. “Happy to hear from you after a long time. But how many numbers do you even have? Don't worry anyway, I'll store this up.”“So, tell me, what help do I have to offer because of this call?” He asked, his

Charlotte's anger boiled but she let out a mocking chuckle. “I just know why you're doing all of this. It's because you're jobless!”Anthony's smirk didn't diminish. “Really? Are you sure about that? Huh?” He asked, his voice calm but mocking. His arms still remained crossed, unaffected.His words only seemed to make Charlotte fume the more. “Yes! If you have got something to do with your miserable life, you won't be standing here,” she turned beside her, her face softening slightly as she looked at the intrigued onlookers who were watching them.“This man here,” she pointed her finger at Anthony with disgust. “He's such a pathetic guy; he's got nobody! No good life worth living. We've been married for the past three years or so and I've been the person taking care of him—his medications, clothes, fares when he's going out—just everything.”The crowd gasped in disbelief, landing their disdainful gazes on Anthony.But Anthony didn't flinch. His expression remained calm and composed as

Sarah winked at him. He spoke so confidently that it gave her a little hope, not fully trusting his words. As a result, she ended up chuckling softly. “Thank you for the ‘good luck’ wish.” She said,Anthony grinned. “You took that as a ‘good luck’ wish?” A hint of amusement sparkled in his eyes. “That wasn't it. I'm certain you will.”Sarah looked at her, confused. “Your words sound reassuring. Will I really get it?” She asked.Anthony tilted and opened his mouth about to answer.But before he spoke a word, Charlotte and Harry, who had been fuming within themselves, interjected with heavy laughter. “Haha, the pathetic lady finally believed all his lies,” Charlotte spoke firstly, her voice full of ridicule. “My gender is just so unbelievable at times.”“Honestly,” Harry nodded in agreement. “She totally believes that the reassuring words of a wretched fool will land her a contract. Haha.”“I don't blame her actually. They both fall in the same category. Poor plus poor equals poorest i

The crowd let out a loud, mocking laugh right after Liam said that. But the laughter died off real quick. Nobody wanted to get Liam annoyed.Harry's face reddened in embarrassment. His jaw tightened as his gaze fell on Anthony, whose laughter was the loudest among the crowd.His lips closed tightly in small anger. But he couldn't do anything since it was Liam.Raising his eyebrows, Harry asked. “Me? What do you mean?” Just before he could blink, a tight slap sent him retrograding. A low, mournful sound escaped his mouth as he shouted in pain but regained his stance quickly.“How dare you ask me questions! Who do you think you are?” Liam spoke, his voice low but cold. “Do you have a death wish to look into my eyes and query me?” Harry shook his head slenderly, his breath catching in his throat. His hand held his burning cheek. Harry was going to argue to clarify himself, but Charlotte stepped in before he even could. She had been right behind him all this while. Although she didn

Sarah halted in her steps, her leg hung mid-air. Her eyes widened in disbelief and bewilderment as she turned around. Her gaze glanced around, feeling nervous, but it met with Anthony's, which held hers firmly but warm, keeping them from winking. His expression was ‘Go closer, luck is on your side.’She nodded slightly to him before turning towards Liam, her eyes full of hesitation.“Me? Sir, Liam?” She stuttered as if she wasn't worthy.“Yes,” Liam tilted, confirming her doubt. As she stepped closer. Liam reached out for the document in her hand. “For the proposal submission, right?” She only nodded, staring at Liam, incredulously. “Don't worry, you've been accepted,” Liam said, his voice firm and reassuring. “Just be here by tomorrow to sign the contract. Okay?”Sarah's eyes broadened, but excitement bubbled inside of her as she glanced toward Anthony briefly before facing Liam. “Sorry, Mr. Liam. Do you mean I have gotten the contract? And that I should come here tomorrow to si

Sarah's stomach twisted in fear as she watched Charlotte make her exit with Harry. Charlotte was somehow spot on. Liam was nothing but a manager acting under authority; what if, after showing her proposal to the chairman, he turned it down? Just what if!Her face turned pale. “She’s right,” she murmured, her gaze back to Anthony. “Mr. Liam is just acting under rulership. What if, after showing the proposal to the chairman, he rejects it?” Anthony sensed her uneasiness and shook his head, reassuring her. “No, he won't. Don't listen to what she says. Your proposal has gotten to Liam's hand and there's a probability it will be accepted.”“Yes, it's under probability,” Sarah nodded, her weakness. “It may likely or may not even be looked into. The chance is just slim.”Anthony sighed, realizing he had just made use of the wrong word. “Alright, let's just hope for the best. But I totally believe you're going to get the contract.”Sarah raised an eyebrow at him. He spoke so confidently, w
