“What?”One of the ladies beside Scott immediately shifted back as the crowd froze in shock.“He has less than seven hundred thousand dollars?” someone whispered.“Nonsense. Your machine must be faulty. Try it again!” Scott snapped.“Yes, yes,” the waitress nodded hastily.She rushed to the counter, half-scared that her huge tip might be wiped away by a faulty machine.The manager, who was on his way out to meet the generous customer the bartender just told him about, already had another machine with him.The waitress looked at it with relief. “Thank you, sir.”He waved

“Two…? Are you insane?” His shocked bellow reached others in the club.He looked back to see their rapt attention on him.“What?” He snapped at the closest.Then turned his attention back to Edward. “Whatever this prank is, I command you to stop it now, Edward. Get here now and…”“I am afraid I can't do that, sir. I am rather busy now. Please try any amount below two hundred thousand, and it will go through. And yes, your other cards are blocked, sir. If that's all…”Anxiously, Scott gripped the phone tighter. “Edward, don't you dare disconnect the call!”Silence on the other end.

Chapter 93
Scott tore up the Lancaster driveway like the hounds were on his heels.“Where is he?!” he bellowed as he burst through the door.The guards stayed quiet, wary of him, yet aware that the dynamics had changed in the household.They no longer had to jump based on Scott's whims again.He grabbed the closest one and glared at him. “Are you deaf? I say, where is he?”“Where is who, young master?” the guard asked cautiously.“Don't play dumb with me, you…”“Young master.”Scott turned around with his hands still on the guard.Though he was already settling to sleep after Adrian dismissed him for the night, Edward's unruffled appearance did not look like he had just rushed out of his quarters when he heard Scott's voice.“You. Do you have any idea what you did to me tonight?” Scott snapped at him, shaking the guard in his hands with each statement.“Please, let go of him, young master. Let's discuss this.”Scott shoved the guard away, even as

Watching Edward ignore his direct order was another sign to Scott that things were really getting out of hand.Adrian was bent on taking everything from him.Not only did he take his company and his home, but now he's taking those loyal to Scott.Though Scott had always treated Edward like furniture, he had always been reliable.Edward had always covered for him when his father was being unreasonable.He had always done what he was told.“As he should. We pay him enough for that,” Scott thought.But now, things were getting worse. Even his reliable furniture dared to disobey him now.

Chapter 95
“What happened to you?!” Fallon was ready to do murder as she saw Seraphina approaching with a blood-spattered hem and shoes.Seraphina smiled serenely as she waved her friend’s worry off. “Relax. It's nothing,” she said.“That does not look like nothing. Did your bitch sister do that to you? Or was it the mother? Sera, you have to start fighting back against these homewreckers. Just look at you! What will they do next? Try to kill you?!”Seraphina hugged her, smiling through the sting in her eyes.Fallon had always been like this from day one. She cared for Seraphina even before knowing her surname.T
Chapter 96
Fallon could feel the weight behind her friend's stoic look. Somehow that reassured her more.She had always thought Seraphina would be a badass if she stood up to her bullies anyway.She sighed, tossed her shoes aside and forced herself to relax.“Better,” she said as she turned on her side, lifting herself with an arm. “Guess who I saw today?”“The reason for the urgent meet?” Seraphina quipped.Fallon nodded.Seraphina couldn't think of anyone she would be so interested in. Her

Adrian's first day at Echelon started out just fine.He rejected Edward’s offer of a ride, thinking the staff might find it suspicious for an intern to arrive in an expensive car.He took a cab to work, dressed in one of the new clothes Royal Garbs delivered.The security guards recognised him from the day before and waved him in without issue.“I already informed the development team you will be joining them,” Edward said, since Adrian had told him it would be awkward for a man like him to take an intern to his post.Still, the lady he had met before, Fallon, was waiting for him again on the dev floor.Her smile looked genuine as she greeted him.“Come with me, please.”He followed her to the main open-floor office of the Dev team.They were all huddled around a large screen.Their attention was so absorbed that they did not even notice their entrance.Fallon was about to get their attention with a clap when ‘ASCENSION’ appeared on the screen, embossed in a colourful swirl around an

Fallon’s smile faded as she saw Henry.He ignored her as his gaze narrowed on his subordinates.“Is this a circus now? What's with all the noise?” he snapped.The team lead moved closer to him. “Manager, we just had a better idea for Ascension. Actually…” he pointed at Adrian with a sheepish look, “It was this man who…”Henry turned just then to see Adrian.His face darkened as he remembered the humiliation he had suffered in front of the board members because of him.“You!” He spat with enough venom to shut the team lead up.Henry still could not believe his luck.

Gasps. Someone let out a chuckle they couldn't stifle in time.Henry threw a murderous glare in the general direction, then he turned back to Adrian. “What did you say to me, trash?”The lifelong label rankled, but Adrian's expression did not change as he responded calmly, “The name is Adrian. I asked a question. Since you can do everything yourself, I assumed you missed that part… manager.”Henry's face darkened with anger. Still, he checked himself. Scott had said to sabotage him and make things worse for him. The young master didn't specifically say he should give him grunt work. Also, Henry still believed Adrian must have some sort of connection to be able to sit that comfortably and even contribute during the board meeting.He cleared his throat and adjusted his suit, his tone less harsh as he said, “You are here as an intern and you will do what interns do. Don't think because you got here through some shady connection, you are above the rules.”That statement made the othe

He nodded to Morrell's rude order and followed him out.The action surprised Henry, who was expecting him to be smart-mouthed again. Adrian's action made no sense to him and he stood watching him leave a second longer.When he realised others were watching him, he glared at them. “What are you standing around for? Get to work. Remember, anybody who dares to share any information with that trash again will find himself out of this company.”“Yes, sir,” they all echoed.“Now, bring what you have to the meeting room,” he ordered the team lead, and the latter quickly swung into action.Henry was already leaving.
