Meanwhile, Nolan quietly leaned over on a luxurious car. He was now donned in a white sleeved shirt. Nolan silently analyzed what had happened to him and Jessica. The five men had proven to be highly skilled professionals in disguise and deceit. Nolan analyzed his actions and pondered if he'd did the right thing.He'd have prevented this entire incident from escalating and becoming this intense, if only he'd taken actions prior to when he'd found out that the taxi driver was acting suspicious. However, he refrained from doing anything, trusting in his judgement.Nolan would've also been able to stop them when they arrived in front of the abandoned factory building, where the group had parked their Jeep. But, he also didn't want to expose himself too soon, hoping not to alert the other perpetrators that had instigated the abduction.What had it caused him?Jessica had almost died because of his judgement to exercise cautious. She was also almost being defied by those bastards. He knew

“What?!” A few gasps echoed across the reception area. Everyone wore a look of utter shock and confusion when they heard what Deborah had just said.  “He's a thief?” Someone asked in confusion. “Really? No wonder he seemed so suspicious.” Another person added with a tinge of disgust in their tone. They all looked at Nolan with gazes of disgust and disdain. Some of them secured their purses and wallets, while others took an involuntary step backwards. “I overheard them calling him a pauper.” A middle-aged woman sporting expensive branded blouse attire, whispered into the ears of her companion. “Are you serious?!” Her companion, also a middle-aged woman attired expensively, couldn't hold back her shock, she instantly blunted out. “How did they let a gutter tramp into the

There were neat rows of 60-inch round tables that seated 8 guests per table, inside the grand banquet hall. The number of round tables inside the banquet hall were numbered over one hundred.The banquet hall had intricate ceiling-to-floor windows. The view outside, through the windows was that of a beautiful greenery, gorgeous lawns, and a lovely spa scenery.Everyone settled down in their assigned seats according to the arrangements in their respective admission tickets. The atmosphere inside the banquet hall felt lovely but also overwhelming for people like Melissa.She quietly followed Eric, he wrapped his hand around her waist. A pleasant wide smile playing on his lips as he walked confidently.Nolan, Deborah, Mark and the rest of the group followed behind them while maintaining absolute silence. This was because, they felt like they were out of place in here!This place looked like a man-made paradise on earth!Eric and Melissa bid the others goodbye as they strolled to their o

Deborah didn't panick, instead, she took deep breaths rejuvenating herself. Her calmness returned, and she was able to assess the situation with a cool head.She realized that anything would have been the reason why Nolan stood up so abruptly.‘Maybe he's just pressed…?’ Deborah thought.She glared at Nolan hatefully, a quiet sigh of frustration escaped the depths of her throat.“Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what Cindy just said? Why are you standing up, Nolan?” Deborah fired out, unable to restrain her animosity towards Nolan anymore. However, Nolan also remained silent, ignoring her as though she was non-existent.Deborah became angry instantly when she realized that Nolan was ignoring her.She decided that she was going to teach Nolan a lesson that he'd never ever forget in his miserable life. Deborah decided that she was going to humiliate Nolan in front of all these people here today. That way, she was very sure that Nolan would never recover from it—ever!“Do you actually thi

Meanwhile, Nolan feigned ignorance of the confusion and shock that clouded the minds of his old classmates.Deborah couldn't bear her shock anymore. She knew that she had schemed Nolan's humiliation countless times. She was scared that she'd fall under Nolan's bad list and that Nolan would take his anger and frustration out on her.“Nolan!” Deborah suddenly broke out in tears. “I have offended you a lot in the past. Please can you find a place in your heart to forgive me. I was so naive. I was only acting out of anger and hatred.”However, Nolan just walked passed her as if she wasn't there. Instead, he simply followed behind Bob Knight and the other VIPs, as they lead the way towards the seats of honor.Deborah felt a sting in here chest! Nolan had just ignored her! But Deborah didn't mind, she knew that she deserved every bit of malice from Nolan.However, before Nolan could get to the seat of honor, a woman suddenly stormed inside the banquet hall of the Grand Supreme Manor.
