Dylan's face turned red upon hearing that, “Regina, today is Thursday! The money waits for our presence! Or would you rather I let Lady Morgan know that you're ready to be thrown back to the streets?!” He barked breathlessly, his eyes filled with contempt.Knox was taken aback for a second. Wait.. Lady Morgan? She.. she is his dad's mistress.. She is the reason his mum is partially blind and permanently crippled. She is also part of the reason his life turned for the worst years ago. Her presence in his dad's life cost them everything! Initially, Knox had no idea his father had another family until Lady Morgan demanded her kids to be in his Will and not Regina's! Her greed and selfishness for his father's assets is the reason he and his mum lost everything, by making sure his mum could neither see nor walk in order not to demand anything from them.. “Haha! I don't think Lady Morgan would want her out of her watch yet.. she still enjoys the old hag’s misery! Haha!” One of them laughe

"Boss, there's something else. Your mother is about receiving necessary treatments, but requests your presence.""I'll be there tonight. Don't take your eyes off her, not even for a second." "That won't be a problem."Knox instructs him one more assignment to carry out then he ends the call and steps out of the apartment. First, there was something else he needed to do. Someone else he needed to see.His girlfriend, the woman he'd been counting down the days to see again. The only woman he'd ever loved throughout his years in jail. He is even more to finally see her now that he's free, especially since Bianca is eight months pregnant with his child. She had cried during their last conjugal visit and told him she couldn't wait for him to come home, and now? He's back and can be with her and their child without restrictions. Despite everything that had just happened, despite the rage still simmering in his veins, Knox felt something soften in his chest at the thought of her. Of their

"Yes, young master. Consider it done." Knox ended the call. Lamar burst into laughter. "Oh my God! This guy! You should be an actor, seriously! That was the best performance I've seen all day!" He turned to his colleague. "Did you hear him? 'Fire Lamar immediately!' Like he owns the damn place!" "Pathetic," the other guard added. "You really think some phone call is going to—" Lamar's phone rang. His laughter died as he saw the caller ID: Chief Anderson - Head of Security. "Don't you dare move, or I'll cripple you," Lamar warned Knox, stepping back to answer the call. "Hello? Chief?" "YOU FOOL!" The voice exploded from the phone so loud that Knox could hear every word. "Who the hell did you offend?!" Lamar's face went pale. "Sir, I didn't—there's just some beggar trying to get into the estate, and I'm handling it—" "What is he wearing?" "Uh... white T-shirt... black jeans... why does it—" "You idiot! That man is someone very powerful! You just lost your job, dummy! Let him

“I'm going to sue this hotel into Oblivion. Do you know who I am?” Watson escorted Knox out a side entrance, unnoticed in the commotion. "Well done," Knox said quietly as he walked to the waiting car. "Thank you, young master. Do you think he'll sign?" Knox's smile was cold. "He will. Desperate men always take the bait. They're too busy drowning to see the shark beneath the surface." "And when he does?" "Then the real game begins," Knox said, sliding into the car. "Lady Morgan tortured my mother for seven years. Now I'm going to give her family hope. Make them believe they're saved. Let them celebrate. Let them feel relief." "And then?" Knox's eyes were ice. "And then why don't you just wait and find out." He uttered, his eyes dark. The car pulled away from Golden Hotel, leaving the chaos and confusion behind. Inside, Byron Voss stared at the contract, his future hanging in the balance. Outside, Lady Morgan screamed at hotel staff, demanding answers, but Watson was able to

"Excellent," Watson replied. "I will inform the representative of your acceptance immediately. The contract signing will be scheduled for tomorrow. Someone from Gates Corporation will be in touch with the details. Have a wonderful day, Lady Morgan.""Thank you, Mr. Watson. Thank you so much."With that, the call ended.A wave of stunned silence filled the room as Lady Morgan slowly lowered the phone. Then her face broke into a triumphant smile."We have successfully sealed a deal with Gates Corporation worth eighty million dollars!" she exclaimed, her voice ringing through the drawing room.The room erupted."That's unbelievable and fantastic news at the same time!""Byron actually did it! He pulled off the impossible!""Gates Corporation! Do you know what this means?! We're literally ascending the social ladder! At this rate, all the prestigious families of South City will want to partner with us!""We're saved! The company is saved!"Family members rushed to congratulate Byron, shak
