Rain clung to Arthur's clothes like shame as he burst into the Lin's family grand hall. His breath was heavy and his chest rose in rising urgency.The laughter that once filled the halls froze, conversation died and the once bustling halls turned cold and hostile. "What is the stray doing here?" Some hits. The words stung like stab. The past patriarch of the family was dead and Arthur, the live-in son-in-law of the Lin family wasn't deemed worthy enough to be present at the will-reading.Lady Lin turned at the end of the table, her Cole glare slicing through the room like a hot blade."Didn't I warn you to remain in the gutters where you belong and not to set foot into this place?" Her voice crackled like a whip.Arthur's finger trembled but he forced his back straight. "I'm not here for trouble! I just...""You dare to speak?" Lady Lin thundered angrily. "You were tolerated because of the old man's pity. Don't think that his death gives you a place amongst us!"A murmur rippled thr

Nobody wanted to get on Lucas's bad side, the most powerful son-in-law of the Lin family business group and they were all disgusted by Arthur's marriage to such a beauty.Emily stared, her eyes blazing through a space, hopelessly.Meanwhile, Arthur's hands squeezed tightly, and his jaws clenched. The Lins' in-laws had gotten lower than he would have dared to imagine."Get me the police. Someone needs to be taught a lesson!" She was ravaged with rage.Emily's heart instantly dropped to the bottom of her feet. She rushed forward and crashed to her feet.Arthur's eyes narrowed. He tries to stop her but she would glance at him, not even once."Please forgive my husband.. we will find a way to pay for the vase!" She pleaded with clasped hands, but she only succeeded in provoking Madam Lin further."Forgive you?" Her teeth gnashed with contempt, venom evident in her voice."Is that going to restore the multi-million-dollar Vase to its original shape?" She growled.Emily's heart shifted. Art

The CIC was with the supervisor when the call arrived. And with the tone of such a powerful man, he needed to be here himself to contain the situation before it consumed them all.Meanwhile, director Cole could still not believe his eyes. His heart pulsing steadily with confusion.The supervisor and the commander in chief, ranking amongst the top ten most powerful men in the city bowing before someone that he had just humiliated.Cole trembled with fright. His comrades shivered with regret, cold sweat running down their faces like a stream.His thoughts ran wild. Everyone knew Arthur after getting married to the stunning beauty.He took another deep look at Arthur. The useless son-in-law of the Lin family. Even a dead mutt had more worth than him.How could he even know someone worth being bowed to by the CIC and his personal supervisor?It had to be a mistake."Supervisor! CIC! I think there's a terrible mistake here!" He gathered this confidence and raised his ego once again and ste

Before he was taken off the streets by the former Patriarch of the Lin family, he was once the powerful heir of the Vince family.Until he was framed by his Uncle and his cousin right after his parents' deaths, for trying to kill his grandfather and take over the business ventures.His grandfather, filled with grief, had believed their words without hesitation, exiling him from the family to rot on the streets."Young Master! Your grandfather regrets his decision. That's why he doesn't hear himself, he can't bear to see your face after everything you've gone through. And he's terribly sick.Your Uncle, and his son who had tried to poison him had almost succeeded and they ended up in prison.All the rest of his children are ladies, married and cannot take the place as heir of the family... You're the only one that is left!"Arthur's hands clenched tightly until the whites burned, it was all an issue of convenience after all.He shook his head, turning around to leave. "Thanks master H

"Can you take me to Trinity Hospital?" Arthur inquired with rushed breaths after his eyes ran through the address.Patricia jolted, and quickly split the door open for him. "On the way sir!" She returned.Arthur got into the car, his heart pulsing repeatedly until they finally got to the hospital.Meanwhile, immediately they had gotten to the entrance, eyes sparkled from the crowd, seeing the latest Maybach model, of which only two existed in the whole of the city, the other owned by a renowned athlete."I can't believe someone actually owes that!" "It feels like a fairy tale! I wonder who it could be!"Lucas and Natalie saw the car as it sped by. Natalie's heart flashed. Whoever owned that car definitely controlled several companies and had up to millions in his account.Her head burst into wishful thinking. Lucas's hands clenched seeing the lingering spark that sparkled in the eyes of his wife for another man's property.Meanwhile, Arthur opted to stop at the other end of the stre

"The poverty has really gotten into his head and he is beginning to say things!"Laughter rolls through the hall.Madam Lin stepped forward, her face stuffed and stale. "If this is you playing dumb, it's not going to work... Sign the divorce right away!"He ignored them and walked off to the receptionist."Get me the head doctor!" He said with an urgent calm.The Lins paused, the amusement bubbling deep inside as they watched the drama gradually unfold before them.A few moments later, the resident doctor arrived."Mr. Ken, this man intends to pay for his wife's medical fees.. what do you have to say about that?" A smirk drew on Lucas' face.Doctor Ken's face turned blend. "This is the only hospital that has the facility to take proper care of your wife, sir.And we've already been instructed that if you don't follow the due protocols, laid down by the Lin's family, nothing can be done about your request!" His eyes rolled with disgust as he spoke."So you see Arthur. I own 50% of the

The jeers from the crowd filled the hall. The doctor's gaze dripped with ice and condescension.Lucas could not contain the satisfaction that boiled over through his veins and spilled over.Cameras flashed as the crowd's mocking laughter only increased."Such a disgrace to humanity!""He thought he ate! The only thing he gulped was poverty!""The looks on his face are just, iconic!" He registered.Lucas leaned forward with his Villainous smirk still on his face. "Do you have other criminal tactics you would like to use for us since this didn't work?" He inquired.However, Arthur remained calm.The resident doctor stepped forward. His face was squeezed with displeasure."This is a renowned hospital Arthur!" He held no respect for the man who was standing before him, calling him without any respect or the appropriate title."We have people coming in every day to seek medical attention and we cannot have anyone related to you Hurd take up precious space.You have less than an hour to con

Arthur's hands clenched until they turned purplish. Lady Lin's smirk thickened. "Even if you sell a limb or donate your kidney, nothing would be done.""The only option that you have now is to sign the divorce agreements!"Arthur's gaze bore deep into their devilish hearts. "You all are truly pathetic!" His voice echoed through the hall.Arthur immediately brought out his cell phone from his pockets, his hands dialing Harry's number.He hated that he had to use the influence of the Vince family. But he was going to do anything just to get Emily out of danger."What does he even think he is doing!" The crowd whispered, one to another.A frown cuts deep into Lady Lin's face. "Does he really think a call across to his packs of dogs is going to do anything?" She growled, all the vines on her neck evenly popped."I would love to see what he intends to do about this!" Lucas leaned forward.Harry instantly picked the phone as though he was expecting the call already."Is there anything tha

It was impossible.To round up every share within such a short time from all the major holders?Unthinkable.Unless, someone like Vince was behind it.But why would a man of Vince’s power meddle in something this small… this personal?Natalie’s pulse hammered in her chest as she stepped forward, her heels clicking on the marble floor of Trinity Hospital. Her cheeks burned red, eyes wide in disbelief. Losing fifty percent of the family’s shares meant her husband, Lucas, was staring at financial ruin. A single misstep, and everything they had worked for would vanish.“You have to be making a mistake,” she said sharply, her voice trembling but fierce. “Just take a proper look at him! He can’t even afford the hospital bills!”The director, a balding man in his fifties named Director Hart, cleared his throat and adjusted his tie. “If you have a strong case, then see you in court,” he said flatly. “The ministry will be waiting for you. But there’s definitely no mistake here.”His words were
