"No. No, dad." She shook her head strongly, then trailed off for a moment. Her father kept his long stare on her, but she had looked away. When Ruxwell had started with the congratulatory thing, she had a hunch that this might be the endpoint. But she had fought the thought off. Right now, the truth was staring her in the face and there was nothing to do but to address it. She couldn't begin to imagine how this would turn out to the guests, especially the president when he finds out that this is a misunderstanding. "What is the matter, baby?" Her father finally asked the long awaited question. "We have to call off the party right now." Bethany ordered. "We should do it now before things grow bigger than this.""What are you talking about?" John was getting concerned. "This. All of this." She said waving her both her hands in no precise direction. "Is not what you think it is.""Speak in plain words to me." There was an edge to his tone at the moment. "Why didn't you call me in t

Bethany watched as her father walked away. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. For a split second, she thought she was in a trance. "Dad!" She gasped, trying to keep her exclamation as low as possible. "How could he even say that?"When she had decided to tell her father the truth, due to how much he respected and feared the Supreme Commander, she'd thought perhaps he would be petrified and quickly look for a way to undo what had happened. His reaction was something that she could never have anticipated. To think that he would use this opportunity to gain leverage with men who were superior to him. Due to this new development, the president has now integrated his family into theirs. This means that the president will from now naturally favor her father. When she thought about this. She understood why her father wouldn't want to mess this up. If she was the one, she wouldn't either. "You will bear the consequences alone, dad." She called at the top of her voice to his ret

Isabella first turned slowly, reenacting her mind that had been detached from reality. The intrusion only got her to look, but the words flew over her head. If it wasn't because her father had taught her not to dig deeper whenever she found herself down, the thoughts of ending it all had flashed across her mind. But she had shut the thoughts out because she wasn't a coward. Only a coward would resort to that. "Isabella, did you hear what I said?" Jessica, who was visibly flushed with excitement expected her boss to be caught under the same spell. "I said that we have just been removed from the blacklist of Rathclif! Rolan Group is now free to collaborate with other companies.""What!" As though a surge of electricity hit her brain, Isabella's entire body became light as feather as she sat up instantly. Her eyes were all over the place with wild strength. "What are you talking about?" Isabella asked, finally returning to reality. "Here." Jessica rushed towards her to display the c

As soon as El Roi approached the gate of the Head of the board of directors of the entertainment industry, a couple of military personnel approached her instantly. The manner at which they had approached her the last time she came here, was the same way they were at the moment. Their faces were grim, and their eyes detached emotionally. "Was that a prank call?" She couldn't help but be worried. What if the elderly man had called her for the purpose of ridiculing her and making a fool of her status in order to further punish her for what she did in the past?There was no limit to the imagination of her heart in that moment. She wished she could just calm the storm of her heart and watch as the events would unfold. After all, it would only take but a few seconds for the military personnel to get to her. Even if they were coming to chase her away like the last time, it couldn't get worse. She had seen the worst humiliation of her life. This would only be a graze on her skin and ego.
Chapter 125
El Roi was taken aback by the affront of the man. She didn't know him from nowhere, so she couldn't tell from where this hostility was coming. "Do you know me?" Was the first question she asked. Following everything that had happened today concerning her takeover of the board of directors, she has been happy trying to focus on the positive emotions, but at this moment, she didn't think she could contain the rage that was filling to the brim. "What does it matter?" The young man retained both his stance and the daring look on his face. "Do you realize whom you are talking to right now?" El Roi's voice was laced with disgust. "You are talking to the highest shareholder in the entertainment industry." He seemed lost for words. "Right as we speak, if I so wish, I could have your shares liquidated and your company blacklisted from this industry!" Her tone was minimal, but the edge in her voice was straining. Although she was yet to solidify her stance in the new position she had jus

The elderly man suddenly sprang to his feet at the appearance at the door. El Roi was stunned speechless following this reaction. She has known her grandpa all her life. There has never been an occasion where she had seen him act like this. In fact it was always the other way round. It was people who would act like this around him. There was only one person whom he absolutely respect. But this person in question was someone she had never met. When she used to live with him, her grandpa mostly talk to that person on the phone. The manner at which her grandpa referred to the person whenever they were talking on the phone, it was no brainer that he absolutely respected the person. In fact, respect would be an understatement to the level of humility that she had seen her grandfather portray. It was more of awe, servanthood and ultimate submission. But this person in question has never come to visit her grandpa. At least not that she knew of. The certain somebody was deemed to be like

"Get up, Photel." Irwin said, standing over the old man who was humbly bowing to him, unwilling to get up. "Let me remain like this, master. It's been forever since I saw you. I blame myself for getting carried away by my personal spiritual growth. I should have stayed in Imperial City and serve you like the rest of the boys. I was blinded by ambition and self-gratification that I forgot that I'm forever indebted to you."Irwin stood there, staring at the elderly man. Although it was true. If it wasn't for him, the old man would have been dead a long time ago. Irwin was recently fresh off his military training and was wandering through a forest when he saw a man lying by the river unconscious. With the little knowledge of medicine that he had learnt from his grandmother, he was able to revive the man. Ever since then, the man had treated him like a god that walked out of a myth. It was after he treated the man that he came to recognize the influence and affluent background of the

"Photel!" Irwin rose to his feet, concerned and worried. The backstory of the painting had engrossed his mind so much that he didn't know when his eyes caught a certain blue spot on the far edge of the painting which he had never seen in the past. His mind being carried away by the peculiarity and sadness of the story, his finger had traced the blue spot and touched it. It was at that contact that what seemed like an electric current shot across his body. By the intensity of the surge that hit him, it felt like he was holding twenty high-line naked wires. As an effect, he was supposed to fall flat on his face, grilled into a mass of barbecue by the raging currents. On the contrary, instead of him falling on the face due to the intensity of the current that shot through his body, a certain redirection had ensued. Something he couldn't explain. A light had gone out of him, a streak of red shimmer. It would seem as though he was a mirror of the electrical current. Something around t

Pothel was silent for a while. He stared down as though he intended to appraise an unseen element. When he lifted his gaze again, there was a stream of tears in his eyes. "Pothel?" Irwin wasn't certain of how he was supposed to react to this. Pothel fell on his knees again. At this point, Irwin had every reason to believe that Pothel was trying to try his patience, but seeing the state Pothel was, he was forced to think otherwise. "What is the matter, Photel?" He decided to approach the matter from another point of view. "I am unworthy to stand in front of you." Photel started, as he raised his head. Irwin decided to give him the audience. By the time Photel gets to the end of this drama, if there was nothing concrete to hold on to, then he would be guiltless to exert his frustration on the old man. "I didn't finish telling you the story of the queen." Photel slowly rose to his knees. Earlier, his body was sprawled on the floor in front of Irwin. It was an act of perpetual and
Chapter 130
"The first person who tried to separate the painting from the deceased young king was killed by the impact of the energy that coursed from it.""About thirty obstinate men who thought they could do any better were killed, too. Everyone ran away from the dead and the painting. They called both cursed and evil.""The next morning when a group came to at least find a way to get rid of this curse, they found out that both the corpse and the painting were gone.""To the utmost surprise of the people, there was no dead body found. This means that whoever took the two away must be immune to the light that killed the thirty-one able body.""Later they found out that it was the only son of that Grand Mage who necessitated the birth of the new king, that came for the painting and the body.""They found this out when the only son of the Grand Mage was also found dead with the painting. Only that this time, instead of his corpse hugging the painting, the painting was set beside him.""It took sev
