Johnson looked at Bethany for a moment. Before he could answer her question, George suddenly laughed."Hahaha!"He shook his head with a smug smile."Isn't it obvious?" He pointed at the briefcase full of money and said accusingly, "This money must have been stolen."Almost everyone in the room seemed to agree with him."That makes sense.""Of course.""There is no other explanation."George folded his arms proudly."A useless man like Johnson suddenly comes up with eight hundred thousand dollars in cash?" He laughed again. "Who would believe such nonsense?"Bethany slowly turned toward Johnson. There was a hint of confusion on her face.Yes, Johnson might’ve been a useless husband but she didn’t know him to be a thief. There were a times she left money openly in their room but never for once did a single penny went missing.She bit her lip before asking softly, "Johnson... Tell me the truth. Did you steal this money?"The entire room became quiet again. Everyone waited for Johnson's

Johnson did not answer immediately.Instead, he took a minute to observe the faces in the room.When he worked into this living room about an hour ago, everyone looked at him like a piece of trash beneath their feet. But now, these same eyes were fixed on him with anxious anticipation.It was as though they were waiting for a king to pronounce his final verdict.After all, whether they would continue living in this mansion or not depended entirely on what Johnson chose to say next.This situation, gave Johnson goosebumps.He let the silence linger just long enough before finally speaking.“My condition is…”He paused and looked toward George. A smirk curled his lips“For George to honor his words, drop on his knees, call me ‘sir’ and apologize for calling me a thief.”The room instantly fell into a dead silence.George's expression darkened."What?"He stared at Johnson as if he had just heard the biggest joke in the world."You must be dreaming." His voice rose with every word. "I wo

King Bazz looked at Johnson with eyes filled with gratitude."I meant every word I said," he declared sincerely. "You saved the two most precious people in my life. A favor like this cannot be repaid with a simple thank you."He took another step forward."Tell me, do you want money? Just name the amount. Whether it's one million dollars or one hundred million dollars, I'll transfer it to your account immediately."The crowd gasped.Many people stared at Johnson with envy burning in their eyes. If they had been in his position, they would have named a price without a second thought.Johnson, however, almost laughed inwardly when he heard the word "money."If only the mafia boss knew who he was talking to.King Bazz had undoubtedly amassed an enormous fortune through years of controlling Adikpo City's underworld.Rumors claimed his wealth ran into hundreds of millions of dollars. Some even believed he was worth one or two billion.To ordinary people, that was unimaginable wealth.But t

Johnson looked at Sophie in disbelief. He could not understand where all the hostility was coming from.Yes, his clothes were dirty and wrinkled from the explosion earlier, but did that alone make him unworthy of being treated?She had not even asked about his financial situation before concluding that he could never afford the hospital's fees.Johnson took a slow breath to calm himself. "I've already told you," he said patiently. "Money isn't the problem."Sophie rolled her eyes dramatically."I'm here because I need to see Doctor Alexander," Johnson continued. "Please make an appointment for me." I don't care what the consultation fee is. I'll pay it."Sophie's expression became even colder. She looked him up and down again before letting out a mocking laugh."You aren't even a good liar."Johnson frowned. "What do you mean?""If you wanted to deceive us into believing you're one of the upper class," she scoffed, "you should have at least worn decent clothes." She pointed at the soo

Sophie grabbed her burning cheek and stared at Dr. Alexander in complete bewilderment.Her mind went blank.In all the years she had worked at Heritage Hospital, she had never seen the Medical Director lose his temper this much.The old man wasn't merely angry. He looked terrified."D-Director..." she stammered."What... what's going on?"Dr. Alexander didn't even look at her. Instead, he turned back toward Johnson, his face filled with panic."Young Master, I'm deeply sorry."To everyone's astonishment, the elderly doctor dropped to his knees once again."I'm truly sorry for this disgraceful incident. I never imagined one of my employees would dare treat you this way."He lowered his head."Please forgive my ignorance in failing to supervise my staff properly."The entire lobby was silent. Nobody dared make a sound.Johnson looked calmly at the kneeling doctor."I came here seeking treatment."He spoke without raising his voice, yet every word echoed through the lobby."But before I
