The man slapped Jacob hard across the face and Jacob’s head snapped to the side, a fresh red mark appeared on his cheek.Janet gasped. “What is going on here?” she demanded, her eyes wide as she stepped inside.Mr. Bryan’s eyes flickered toward her, his eyes darkened. It had taken him a full hour of shouting for help after Harrison left. His broken limbs had left him helpless on the villa floor until a servant that was knocked unconscious during the fight woke up and discovered him.The servant had immediately called for emergency transport and they brought him to the hospital. The good news was that they had reached the hospital in time. The surgeon had successfully operated him and stabilized his limbs.The bad news was he would be unable to move them properly for at least a week, trapped in this wheelchair like a helpless vegetable, dependant on others for every basic need.“This useless son of mine has dragged me into this mess!” Mr. Bryan roared, ignoring Janet for the moment. He

Jacob’s lips curled with contempt when he saw her reaction. “Smile for the camera, Janet.” He clicked his tongue. “If you don’t listen to me and come apologize together, neither of us would survive this. If anyone finds out of your past, your precious reputation will crumble overnight, is that what you want?”Janet clenched her hands at her sides, her nails dug into her palm, drawing blood. She stomped her feet on the floor in rage. “You bastard!” she cursed, her eyes ablaze. “Using that against me after I helped elevate your pathetic status?”Jacob grinned, ignoring her, he raised his phone, wiggling it so she can see. “The choice is yours, Janet.” He grinned menacingly. “What would it be?”Janet squeezed her eyes shut, memories of her time at the nightclub flooded back to her memory, she couldn’t ignore him now, not after this threat. She can’t let those pictures come to light.She cursed him under her breath and yanked out her phone, rattling off Harrison’s address. “Fine, I’ll go

Neil Bryan was always treated more like a servant than a son in the Bryan’s family. When he learnt of his father’s condition through of the nurses that had overheard Mr. Bryan talking to Jacob, he finally saw an opportunity to power.He didn’t know who this Harrison his father talked about was, so he quickly went into the family’s private security room to start reviewing surveillance footage.He was there for hours, and watched the footage from the villa attack, he gasped when he saw how easily Harrison handled his father and the thugs.He watched as Harrison carried the women from the villa into a luxury car. He quickly dialed a number. “Hello,” he said when the call connected. “I’m sending you a plate number of a vehicle, I need you to give me the direction where the car headed.” He instructed.After hanging up, he paced back and forth in the room with his phone clenched in his hand, his gaze on Harrison who he had paused on the large screen, the man there looked like an ordinary pe

Harrison arrived at his residence and stepped out of the car that had brought him, but as soon as he approached the entrance, a group of rough-looking men suddenly blocked the entrance.He glanced at them with clenched jaw, not knowing who had sent them, although he suspected Mr. Bryan, but they didn’t attack him.Few minutes later, a disheveled Jacob Bryan hobbled forward on crutches, supported by Janet whose brows creased in fury, although she didn’t speak.“Why are you two here?” Harrison asked, his voice cold.Jacob eyes drooped a he looked at Harrison desperately, he was scared of losing his heir status, meanwhile Jane was terrified that if she doesn’t do what Jacob want her to do, he would leak her secret and destroy her ambitions.“Mr. Harrison,” Jacob called out, his voice trembling. “Please, hear us out.”Harrison stepped forward, he crossed his arms over his chest. “What do you want?” he questioned.“I am sorry.” Jacob muttered softly, squeezing his eyes shut, the words tast

The next day, Harrison took a taxi to the banquet instead of his e-bike. The grand estate of the William’s was filled with luxury cars, and high-end people dressed in designer’s dress and suits, but as usual, Harrison wore a simple outfit.At the entrance, he spotted Janet and David, before he could ignore them, Janet’s saw him, her eyes narrowed with malicious delight.She linked her arm possessively with David. She had only been able to attend this banquet through David’s connection hoping to expand her business.“If it isn’t the poor kid showing up here again,” she scoffed, drawing David’s attention to Harrison. “You decided to grace us with your presence again.”She glanced behind him and scoffed. “Where is your precious Mia?” she raised a brow curiously. “Has she finally dumped you, Harrison? Or did the novelty wear off?”David smirked, adjusting his expensive cufflinks. “The fraud returns.” He clicked his tongue. “Relying on other’s reputations to pretend you’re impressive. You
