Chapter 71 - Here To Help
“I really want to appreciate you for saving my father’s life. I don’t know what I would have done,” she said with appreciation.Damian smiled, “It’s fine, you should take good care of yourself and your father.”She nodded, “Please, one more thing.” She whispered.“I am listening.” “Mr. Grayson, about the poison. Is there a way to trace it, or how to know who did it?”Damian hesitated for a moment, as he rubbed his chin slowly, “No, but I think the only way to know is if your father can remember where he was, who he was with and what he drank that day of the incident.”There was a moment of pause. Rebecca tried to recall, but nothing; she only remembered the old man coming home, and then that night, he began feeling sick.“Alright, thank you once again.” She tilted her head.From a distance, she watched as Damian walked towards his car.•••By the time Damian returned home, it was late. He had noticed some difference around his house. He was cautious, and then he heard footsteps by t
Chapter 72 - Lost a friend
Emily was so curious to know more about Damian that she had requested he take her around the house.Damian was caught off guard by her sudden request. But he didn’t decline, he took her to some areas in the house and then they ended up at the garden.As soon as Emily got there, her phone buzzed. She knew it was time to leave. “I will have to take my leave, I have an important meeting.”Damian nodded, “I will walk you out then!”Emily smiled, as the two walked towards the main entrance. A guard was waiting for her. “Thank you for the meal,” Damian whispered.“You’re welcome, you can call me if you want anything.” She replied with a smile.As soon as she turned, she waved at him and entered the car, and without hesitation, the driver drove out immediately.••••“Come on, you can’t be serious!” Timothy said as he plopped on the couch. “How could you think about that now we have a bigger issue at hand?” To Jude, in his mind, he felt they should give up so easily without a fight, but Ti
Chapter 73 - Selling to our enemy
That morning, Damian arrived at the expected location. He had willingly accepted the attend the meeting. He didn’t care what was about to happen, but knowing he would be getting his hand on one of the Cross family’s estates made him thrilled.Damian understood that the cross failed investment and ruthless spending over the last few years had brought them into financial struggles; the once mighty family had been reduced to selling their properties, and he even had to make Maxwell lose a huge amount of money.Should Damian be blamed for Maxwell’s lost?Inside the estate, Douglas Cross, Maxwell, and the estate’s manager, Kelly, were waiting for the man Christopher had sent to finalise the deal.“What’s taking him so long?” Maxwell asked. “Dad, don’t you think we should call Mr. Baker to inform him about this?” Douglas cast his son a cold and deadly glare. “Shut up! It’s not been an hour we arrived and you want to call Mr. Baker. Do you want us to lose our chance?” “No father, but!”Do
Chapter 74 - unfair price
Kelly knew better than to argue or go against Douglas. “I am sorry, it might have been a mistake,” Damian frowned deeply, even 300 million was high for the estate value.Douglas smiled, “Mr Grayson, I didn’t know you were close to Mr. Baker. How long have you been with him?” “That’s not why I am here,” he replied, “Mr. Cross, I don’t think it’s possible. As a representative of Mr. Baker, $300 million is too high. You should think about it.’Douglas clenched his fist under the table, but he flashed a smile, “Mr. Baker is more than capable. If you want, we can call him to ask.”Damian smiled, “Alright, go ahead, but make sure you put it on speaker, I would also like to hear what he’s going to say.”Without hesitation, Douglas pulled out his phone. To him, Damian was a pauper who was lucky to work with the wealthiest man in the city.That doesn’t give him the right to negotiate with him.Just as the line connected, Douglas had his phone placed on the table, “Mr. Baker, it’s Douglas Cro
Chapter 75 - Final offer
Damian shook his head firmly, “No, I have changed my mind. My final offer is 50 million.” Maxwell and Douglas expressions changed immediately; they almost exploded from rage. They had failed to get a better deal from the property. Not only that but Damian was making them furious with his irritating bid. Could he be doing this on purpose? Was the offer good enough for them to accept?“That’s poor and cheap, you should agree to our deal.” Maxwell voiced.“If you can’t agree with mine , what makes you think I will agree with yours? Damian replied, “From what I know, I am even offering a better bid, the Bailey family offered you 30 million! Victor’s family offered you 45 million, while I am offering you 50 million, you should at least consider my offer to be more suitable than theirs.” Douglas, Maxwell and Kelly were shocked by how he knew about the other families that had made an offer for properties.The Cross family were getting disappointed by each minute. Douglas was worried that
Chapter 76 - Pay back the loan
Adam turned his gaze toward Maxwell. The way his eyes settled on the young man was enough to make Maxwell take a step back. “Maybe you don’t, but your son does.”Douglas’s voice sharpened. “What are you talking about?” he looked at Maxwell who kept mute.Adam reached into his coat and pulled out a folded paper. He tossed it and stopped in front of Douglas.“Two weeks ago,” Adam began, “your boy here came to see me. Said he needed money fast. Claimed it was for an investment deal. I don’t usually entertain the children of rich men, but he was desperate. I gave him five million dollars in cash. And since then, he hasn’t returned a single dime.”Douglas’s face drained of colour. “Five million! What?”Adam’s voice remained calm, deliberate. “You raised him well. He looked me dead in the eye and promised he’d pay me back in seven days. It’s been fourteen.”Douglas’s hand gripped the folder. “Maxwell, tell me this isn’t true.”Maxwell swallowed hard. “Dad, I ”Douglas cut him off with a thi
Chapter 77 - Fix things!
When Adam left, he immediately called Christopher to inform him that he had collected his money. At the same time, Damian smiled, knowing the Cross family was left with just 15 million, less than what they had expected.Without being told he knew Douglas would be furious at his son, Damian couldn’t help but laugh.Damian felt a sense of satisfaction washing over him, he now owned the Cromax estate, the showroom and the Knight hotel. Meanwhile, Douglas was holding his anger; at this point, he had realised his son was not following his instructions and had been causing him to lose more money. The more he looked at Maxwell the more he was furious and wanted to strangle the boy. He was still counting on turning things around for Bihill, but with the money left with him, it would be difficult, and the bank wouldn’t give him another loan unless he paid back every dime he owed them.He needs more than another thirty million to overcome their crisis; if he could encounter a big break, he w
Chapter 78 - Deceive
Seeing how they were looking at him, Maxwell smiled, “About the news on the internet, it’s true we sold, but we have a buy-back clause. We didn’t sell because we are having issues but my father received some inside information from the Blake family, Christopher Baker and the mayor himself. If things go out fine, we could be looking at a profit of 700 million dollars, and we can buy back our estate, and even have more money to build more. Would you be interested in it?” “Wow!” Camilla exclaimed in shock when she heard the amount.Her eyes were wide with excitement and greed.Such opportunities were rare and would only come from a wealthy family. On the other hand, Anastasia felt different, she couldn’t help but wonder if it was real.“Are you sure about this information?” She asked.Camilla shot her daughter a cold glare. “Anastasia, can’t you see he is serious?” She said, then turned to Maxwell, “ Can you tell us more about it?” Maxwell sighed softly, “The mayor is planning to build
Chapter 79 - Not Taking Part
Anastasia and her mother were shocked when they saw the familiar face; it was none other than Mr. Clinton Lewis, Anastasia’s grandfather. The old man was wheeled into the house by the maid.Seeing him, Anastasia was surprised; she had never expected him to come. The last time they spoke he claimed to be sick.Maxwell’s expression changed immediately when he saw the old man; he knew Mr Clinton Lewis to be an intelligent man. “Grandfather!” Anastasia called as she walked toward the man. “How are you doing, it’s good to see you.” Camilla smiled as she walked toward him, although they were not on good terms, Camilla hated the fact that the old man was sometimes serious, demanding, and also talked a lot about Damian. He was also part of the people who had pushed her daughter into marrying Damian. She couldn’t help but wonder why he was there, and she knew better than to ask knowing he might get angry.A few minutes later, Grandpa Clinton looked at Maxwell. He listened intently to every
Chapter 80 - Not your wife
Not hearing a word from Anastasia was even more frustrating and annoying. Just then, he thought about something, “Mrs Lewis, I think I should take my leave; the Lewis family doesn’t want my help.”Camilla shook her head, “No! She is just scared of her grandfather, I know my daughter, she loves you.” She said, “ Let’s forget about that, come on, how about the business. If they aren’t interested, I am willing to stake my money, I trust you so well.” Hearing that Maxwell’s face softened, the reason he had come to the Lewis mansion was to extort money from them. At least, if the old man couldn’t allow Anastasia to put in her money, he would be happy if he could still get it from her mother.“You don’t have to worry, I’ve always loved Anastasia, and I will stake my own life and money for her.” Camilla smiled, “I am increasing my bid to 10.5 million. I want to get rich, I am planning on going on a vacation soon. When my profits come, I will not only treat myself to a luxurious vacation,
