Chapter 1
Reflecting on the countless humiliations he had endured in the past four years, Manuel Rodriguez had little affection for his wife, Penelope Sullivan. Manuel knew about Penelope’s infidelity but he never let it bother him, though it did at first.It was laughable that, as a live-in son-in-law for four years, his wife had never even allowed him to hold her hand. They had always slept in separate rooms, or rather, Manuel had always slept in the boys quarters but he never complained.Manuel was no different from a maid.Manuel had finished working for the day and picked up extra bunch of flowers to give to an old lady out of courtesy.He went over to the maintenance shop to offset his bills and claim his rickety motorbike.Manuel had given the flowers to the old lady who just happened to live in the next neighborhood after where his wife’s company was situated. He rode all the way, opposite his wife’s company and stopped for a moment as something or rather someone caught his rapt attenti

After thinking for a while, knowing he had nowhere else to go, Manuel quickly dialed the unknown number once more and sighed.“I’ll save the company… but on my terms.”The person at the other end of the line answered desperately, “Anything Mr. Manuel.”“Come pick me up, now. I’ll text you my location,” Manuel hung up.Manuel looked up at the starry sky and took a deep breath, he suddenly felt the breeze was much fresher and lighter.He marveled at how quickly and timely his luck got extremely good.Soon enough, a black BMW 5 series stopped directly in front of Manuel and a man highlighted from the car and walked over to Manuel.Manuel quickly stood up and frowned slightly. Gavin Shaw bowed curtly, “Mr. Rodriguez…”Trying to get used to this formality as he had been denied it for quite a long time, Manuel just waved him off and got into the car.Gavin took his belongings and placed them in the boot.He got into the driver’s seat and placed the car in motion.Manuel asked, “So where wou

Manuel sat back down to listen to what Don had to say.“Don’t worry, I’d get everything done nicely. I’d send the documents over to the suite you’re in. All you have to do is just to sign it. I’d instruct to you a new assistant.”Hearing that Manuel’s brows furrowed slightly.“I don’t want a new assistant. Return Gavin back to me. He’d continue to take his place by my side and not your errand’s boy. By the way, I found out that my villa is being managed by your son, relay my well wishes to him but I’d be returning tomorrow. So, I’d be sending Gavin to sanitize my villa thoroughly so he can hand over his duties.”Knowing Don for a relatively long amount of time, Don’s idea of a new assistant was a spy to feed him information on whatever moves Manuel would be making and he wasn’t going to let that happen.This time not only was he stronger, he was far wiser.Besides only Gavin had remained loyal to him. If it weren’t from his father finding out that Gavin sends money to Manuel occasiona

The next day, Gavin stopped by with the documents and new phone for Manuel.Manuel read through the documents thoroughly and saw it was much to his satisfaction and then he signed it and took a photo of it.Gavin then checked him out of the hotel and drove him over to Skyview Estate, where his villa was situated.Gavin was told to clean up the place after Manuel’s cousin, Zachary Rodriguez, vacated the villa. But Gavin’s grudge for Zach and his uncle didn’t even allow him let Zach spend another hour in that villa.Gavin bought all the necessities the villa would need and Manuel patted his shoulder, extremely satisfied with Gavin’s work.He brought him a drink, from the cellars and placed it in front of Manuel knowing his throat might be parched.“Sir, in two months, there’d be a party hosted by the company to celebrate its 26th annual anniversary.”Manuel just hummed in affirmation.---Harry was relieved of his duties very much to his dismay. He couldn’t think of anyone he could’ve o

Damien was wearing a suit and a pair of leather shoes with the Audi car key hanging on his waist. He looked so handsome at this moment.Seeing this a lot of people tried sucking up to him and began directing crude remarks at Manuel.“I’m sure his whole outfit doesn’t amount up to 6 dollars”“Heard that he’s now out on the streets. Apparently, he was a living with the Sullivans as a matrilocal husband.”“He’s that feeble?”Shirley had had enough of the criticizing and spoke up, “You all don’t have a say as to how he lives his life.”Manuel just tapped Shirley’s arm to reassure him that he was fine but that didn’t stop the others.“Aye! Although I can’t make any money, I won’t be a live-in son-in-law. Even if you hit me to death, I won’t do it!”“Poverty stifles a man’s ambition, I never thought you’re such a short-sighted person!”Shirley slightly sighed at this moment. It was really bad to see Manuel in this situation.Damien still had not had enough. Trying to show off more, he looke

“This is our manager.”“Great!”“Are you planning to get yourselves fired?! How could the consumption of barely 15 people amount to 2.7 million dollars? Do you know who I am? I’m a good friend of your boss!”The manager wasn’t in a hurry. He said calmly, “Sir, I’m so sorry. The meal was 1.8 million dollars only. However, you ordered a bottle of the most expensive wine, the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti just now. A bottle costs 980 thousand dollars. So, you’ve got to pay 2.7 million dollars. It’s approximately 2.8 million dollars, however since you’re a friend to the boss, we rounded down the figure…”“Believe it or not, you’ll lose your jobs this instant!” Damien roared as he wagged his finger at both the waiter and the manager.“How do you have a wine that costs nearly a million dollars? Even if you do, I didn’t request for something this expensive. I’ll call the police!”He took out his phone and made an action like he was about to call the police.The manager calmed himself and whipp

When Brandon’s eyes fell on Manuel, he was slightly taken aback.There’s no way he wouldn’t recognize his master.He quickly moved forward and walked to Manuel.He almost hugged him out of joy.He hadn’t seen his master in years.He hurriedly bowed and said in a low voice, “Sir, I honestly had no idea that you were here. Please forgive my impudence.”Everyone in the private suite was shocked at this moment.The superior arrogant Brandon who could seal their fate with just a snap of his fingers was now standing beside Manuel respectfully, just like a student awaiting punishment from the lecturer.Brandon’s subordinates were not exempted from the shock.Manuel was the only one that remained calm with a straight face.“Just let them go, they’re all my classmates after all,” Manuel said.He only decided to let go all because of Shirley. Asides him, Shirley had other friends and would definitely not want them to get immersed in troubles.“Yes! I’ll do whatever you say. I’ll let them go. I’

He handed the phone over to Manuel.While the manger tried to appease Manuel, the rest of the security guards looked confused as to the sudden change of attitude of the guard who had just received the call.The security guard quickly went on his knees and apologized repeatedly. He didn’t dare to think of what would happen to him if he lost his job. He still had a family to feed and take care of.“I’m extremely sorry sir. I’m sorry for my negligence.”On hearing that, the other security guards finally figured what made their manager call so late in the night and what brought their colleague to his knees.They almost wet their pants. They also hurriedly went on their knees as Manuel cut the call and handed to phone back to its owner. He was extremely exhausted and couldn’t be bothered to spend another minute with them.“Open the gates,” Manuel returned to his motorcycle and put on his helmet.They opened the gates as quick as they could and watched Manuel drive in.The guards were terri

“This kid doesn’t look capable. His clothes seem to have a bit of quality to it but it doesn’t amount to what even the ordinary workers of this company wear. He rides a motorbike to work. He should be a cleaner, right? If he offended Miss Griffin, I’m afraid he wouldn’t even be worthy of washing the toilets.”“Who is this? Why haven’t I seen him before? Isn’t he afraid of offending Miss Griffin?”“Maybe he just wants to attract Griffin’s attention!”“That makes sense! It turns out he’s just a toad trying to swallow a swan! Does he not possess a mirror at home? He’s wearing middle class clothes. What is he thinking?”Manuel remained quiet.Gavin got him a set of high-end clothes that weren’t even displayed to the world just yet but Manuel felt satisfied with being lowkey for now and sent Gavin back to just get him something of more quality but not expensive.Emily frowned slightly and said, “You? Working in our company? Who recruited you? Why don’t I know?”“With your attitude, no matt

Manuel looked at Gavin probingly. “Gavin, what’s wrong? I know this isn’t just about what I went through this past few years. Have a seat and talk to me. You can always talk to me, remember we’re like brothers so tell me what’s wrong,” he coaxed.Gavin looked conflicted and knew it was only right that Manuel knew.Sitting down, he said, “Sir, all I’m about to reveal to you, just know that I’m not in any way trying to slander anyone falsely.”Manuel frowned slightly and handed him a glass of water that was by his side knowing this was going to be a long talk, Gavin took a sip of it and sighed.“Young master, two years after you left your father started to fall ill strangely. No doctor could decipher the cause of the illness because your uncle Don didn’t allow your father to be moved to the hospital for proper care. During that time, your uncle was put in charge of the whole family affairs.”“Being sick, he gradually became bedridden and started sleeping a lot. It would be a miracle tha
