Chapter 68 - Timeless Treasure Gallery
After Asher left the Simpsons mansion, he called Jamie and demanded they meet at a restaurant close by. When he arrived at the location, he found Jamie seated at the corner with excitement in his face. Asher could tell it was because of the news that had taken over the internet Jamie’s eyes lingered from his phone to Asher. “I can’t help but watch this over and over again. Who would have thought that the mighty Simon family would be ruined to nothing.”Asher joined him, with a calm expression, but let out a smug smile “You did a good job,” Asher intoned.He smiled, shoving his phone into his pocket. “It wouldn’t have been possible without you. I still couldn’t help but think about the evidence you gave to me. Whoever gave you that must have spent years digging for that.”Asher shrugged, he called the waiter and placed an order for two. Two bottles of beer were brought before them, and they took a sip while continuing their conversation.“Asher,” Jamie called out, “About our discuss
Chapter 67
Gabriel lost control, as he stepped forward to attack Asher. He swung his fist but Ashes sidestepped, leaving Gabriel to lose balance.Why are you putting the Blame on me when you started it,” Asher said, as he frowned.This was the same person that came to ask for their forgiveness. He was still showing some arrogant attitude even before the Simpsons. Would they even forgive him after what he did?Gabriel’s heart was pounding, and his eyes turned red. As he kept his gaze at Asher. He couldn’t shake the hatred that was coursing through his veins.“If you hadn’t shown up in her life, this wouldn’t have happened. Our families would be in peace.”Was he trying to put the blame on Asher? Was it Asher’s fault that Olivia refused to have anything with him? Was it Asher who told him to post those images on the internet?Damn Gabriel!Asher ignored his words; he had done his part. “Mr. Owen, please save my family. All this was his fault, I loved Olivia with everything in me.”He cut him of
Chapter 66 - Simon Doomed
The wine was poured carefully into crystal glasses.Its deep, ruby hue glowed under the warm lights like a velvet promise. The aroma wafted up, rich and complex, carrying notes of dark berries, toasted oak, and a whisper of something floral.Mr. Owen raised the bottle, “Let’s toast to a good wine and unforgettable memories.” Glasses clinked, the first sip was taken, and then silence engulfed them.Not awkward silence, but the kind of silence that comes when senses are completely overtaken.Olivia’s lips parted slightly, as she tasted it. Her eyes fluttered closed. “Oh, my God.” She whispered.Levi let out a low whistle, “Where did you say you got this from?” His lips curled into a smile. Mia’s eyes widened, as she took a sip. Her earlier mockery faded. The same wine she underrated was giving her a good taste. She couldn’t bring herself to admit it was good; she just nodded. Mr Owen, after swirling and savouring his first mouthful, chuckled with deep satisfaction. “I have had wine,
Chapter 65 - Velon Winery
He had an eye for rare things, with a sense of style and encyclopedic knowledge of wines. His sharp gaze fell on the bottle.He adjusted his glasses and reached for it with reverence. He held the bottle up, turning it gently, as he read the label. His brow lifted in surprise.“Where did you get this from?” He asked.Asher was about to respond when an unfriendly voice spoke out.“From the slum, where did you expect a worthless person to get such wine from.” Mia’s voice was dripping in menace.Mr. Owen frowned and gave her a cold and menacing glance. “Mia, I wasn’t talking to you.”Asher remained composed, despite her unfriendly gesture towards him. He shook his head and smiled. “A private collector. I got it as a gift from a friend who returned from Italy. I brought it as a gift to the family.”Mr Owen’s eyes shined in disbelief, “This is from Velon Winery; only ten bottles are produced yearly. And are rearing sold no matter the amount to offer.”The room collecting inhaled. Everyone w
Chapter 64 - Worth More Than
That evening, Asher stepped out of his car, as he adjusted the collar of his shirt, casually dressed as usual. A sleek bottle of aged wine cradled in one hand.He took a deep breath as he made his way towards the entrance. He waved at the guards who tilted their heads at him. He could not understand what gathering the family was having, so he came prepared. Just as he got to the entrance, Mia blocked his path with her arms wrapped below her chest. Her expression was gloomy and unfriendly.She stood firmly like she was guarding the gate to heaven herself. Her gaze landed on Asher, as sharp and cold as a glass.Asher stopped at his track, keeping the bottle balanced and offered her a polite smile. “Evening Mia.”“It’s you,” she sneered, with her voice dripping in venom. Asher could tell from her gaze that he wasn’t welcomed by her, but she wasn’t the person who invited him. He kept a plain demeanor knowing what was about to come. She always finds a way to remind him of his status whe
Chapter 63 - Emily's New Day
Asher exhaled slightly, “I happen to know a friend who has been digging about SIM media and Gabriel Simon for a long time. I helped save his brother, and in return, he offered to help me since we both have the same objectives.”Jamie nodded thoughtfully, his lips opened but no words came out. He swallowed his saliva.“Asher, this will not be an easy task. If you want me to take this job, we need to be prepared for whatever outcome that might come as a result of this. The Simons are powerful and would do anything to fight against us, even if it means going the extra mile,” His voice was laced with uncertainty and fear.“I know, and I am ready. My friend is a powerful figure, he is willing to help us.”Jamie raised his brow, “May I know the name of this friend?”“He wants his identity to be kept hidden, but if you do as instructed and everything goes as planned, you will get to meet him.”Jamie scratched his chin. “Okay, let’s do it.” He said with a steady tone.Asher let out a knowing
Chapter 62 - Let's Play Games
Jamie kept his gaze fixated on Asher, as he wondered what business would bring him over to his place. Asher didn’t respond right away; he pulled out an envelope from his back pant pocket and placed it on the desk before him.“What’s that?” Jamie asked with his brow etched with curiosity.“I have something I think you will find interesting, something that had to do with you and myself,” Asher replied, his confidence was evident.Jamie furrowed his brow, as he glanced at the file. He felt a sense of unease coursing through his veins. As his mind raced with several thoughts.“I am not interested in whatever you have, I don’t want to get myself involved in your mess.” Jamie took a step back, showing no sign of taking the file. Asher let out a short laugh, “You should check it out. It might be of great help to you.” He continued. “It might be something that would prove you are innocent. We are both in the same boat, but mine is different because, without your help, I can still overcome w
Chapter 61 -First Huge Transaction
Emily was more than excited; being accepted into Blue Beam was a big stepping stone for her. She thanked Henry for helping her get a job.Why do they keep taking credit for something they didn’t do? First, was Edward taking credit for something he didn’t do, and now it’s Henry Marcus? Samuel Hughes waited patiently for Asher; he was done with selling the acres given to him. He made a huge profit, and people are still demanding more.He felt a surge of excitement in him; he might have taken longer than expected, but he was happy to have finalised every possible deal. He knew with what he had done, Asher would give him more deals, which would make him more money in future.His eyes scanned around for any sign of Asher, but not even his Shadow could be seen. Another thought ran through his mind.“Why would Asher always want them to have a meeting inside the car? Could he be hiding from someone?”If he had not witnessed the purchase at the Auction house, he might have doubted the acres
Chapter 60 - A NEW JOB
“Sir, she has a good résumé. And from what I saw, she was doing well at George’s corporation before her contract got terminated.”Asher knew about her résumé and ability to work, she was his ex-wife for three years. During those years, he had seen her have sleepless nights just to work on a project. There were times when he would even stay awake just to help her out.Truth be told, Emily was good for the position but he was worried that she might fix the dot and expose him. “It’s fine, let her have the job. Make sure you keep your eyes on her and remember our deal to keep my identity confidential,” he muttered.“Yes, Mr. Mancini,” she replied.After a few discussions about the team to be assigned to the project, Asher left the office.****Emily pushed the door open and stepped inside the house. She froze when her gaze met with Henry Marcus, he was seated on the leather sofa with his legs crossed and face lit with an amused smile.Mrs Deborah beamed like she had just won the lottery,
