Chapter Thirty eight
The police arrived swiftly, their presence a testament to the Garalic family's influence. They strode into the mansion, their eyes fixed on Celina, who stood pleading her innocence.Williams pointed at her, his voice cold and detached. "Take her away. She'll be used as a lesson to teach others not to deal roughly with the Garalic family."As the officers led Celina out in handcuffs, she struggled against her restraints, her eyes wide with fear. "Please, believe me! I'm innocent!"Williams followed the police out, his expression unyielding. "I'll drop my statement at the police station."Meanwhile, Elvis's ring began to signal him again, its insistent beeps piercing the tension-filled air. He gazed at the ring, his eyes narrowing as he processed the new information.The sound of Celina's desperate pleas grew fainter as the police dragged her away, her fate hanging precariously in the balance. Elvis's eyes never left the ring, his mind racing with the implications of what he knew: Celin
Chapter Thirty seven
Mrs. Pascal's face was a picture of rage as she stood up and shouted at Celina. "You better start telling the truth right now! What have you been doing to my husband? We've been nothing but nice to you, and this is how you repay us?"Celina looked confused, her eyes darting between Mrs. Pascal and Elvis. "I-I haven't been doing anything," she stammered. "I've only been following the prescription from the doctor."William's face turned red with anger, and he strode over to Celina, his hand raised. "Keep your lying tongue short!" he shouted, slapping her hard on the face. Celina fell to the floor, clutching her cheek."No wonder you've refused to take a break," William spat. "You've been here even when we family members would go and freshen up. You insisted on being here because you had a plan to kill my brother."Celina looked up at William, her eyes welling up with tears. "With all due respect, the only reason I insisted on being here is because it's my duty to look out for my patient
Chapter Thirty six
The room was filled with an eerie atmosphere as Pascal's body convulsed violently, his limbs jerking uncontrollably. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him in fear, their faces pale with worry. The air was thick with tension, and the silence was oppressive.But amidst the chaos, one person stood out - Elvis. He seemed eerily calm, his expression unreadable. His eyes were fixed on Pascal, but there was no hint of worry or concern. He looked almost... detached."What's happening to him?" Mrs Pascal whispered, her voice trembling with fear.Elvis didn't respond. He simply continued to observe Pascal, his eyes never leaving his face.As the seconds ticked by, Pascal's convulsions grew more intense. His eyes rolled back, and his body arched off the ground. The room was on edge, everyone holding their breath as they waited for... something.But Elvis remained calm, his composure unnerving. He seemed to be waiting for something, but what, no one knew.Suddenly, Pascal's body went limp, his convul
Chapter Thirty Five
The air was thick with tension as Anita's eyes locked onto William's, the anger and hurt between them palpable. Elvis watched the exchange, his expression neutral, but his eyes narrowed slightly as he took in the depth of the conflict between Anita and William.Pascal's wife, who had been quietly crying beside her husband's bed, looked up, her eyes red-rimmed. "William, stop," she said, her voice weak but firm. "This isn't the time for this."But William was beyond reason, his emotions raw and exposed. "You're using my brother's life as a way to get back at me?" he accused Anita, his voice cracking with anger and pain.Anita's face was set in a determined expression. "I'm not playing games with your brother's life, William," she said, her voice steady. "I'm trying to save it."Anita's eyes blazed with anger as she gazed at William. "You're very proud, William, and that's one reason I rejected your proposal. Your pride is consuming you, and it's clear in the way you're reacting now."W
Chapter Thirty four
Elvis boarded the taxi, a chuckle escaping his lips as he recalled the picture.The image of Victoria's face, her expression a mix of pleasure and possessiveness as he shaded Jade, flashed in his mind.He smiled to himself, knowing Victoria's nature wouldn't change.A pang of pity for Jade flickered within him; she was just another toy in Victoria's game, a game driven by his family's influence and money, not love.His phone beeped, breaking the silence.A message from Anita flashed on the screen, containing an address."Take me to this address," Elvis instructed the driver, his voice firm.As the taxi accelerated, his ring began to beep, its insistent tone piercing the air.Elvis knew the ring's call; it urged him to go to the place, to help whoever was in need.Without hesitation, he leaned forward, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.The ring's beep grew louder, more insistent, guiding him towards his destination.As Elvis stepped out of the taxi, Anita rushed towards him, a look of
Chapter Thirty three
Mama Rachel's eyes drooped, her face sagging as her gaze fell to the floor. Her voice was barely above a whisper. "I'm just not happy about how the restaurant is. It's been years, and it's still the same. I feel like I'm not making progress." She sighed, her shoulders slumping in defeat. "I remember when I was paying off the house mortgage, it was draining me. And on top of that, I had to buy books, school supplies for Victoria... it was a struggle."Elvis's expression softened, and he reached out to touch her hand, his touch gentle. "My question wasn't meant to make you feel sad, Mama Rachel. I know how hardworking you are, and I'm proud of you." His eyes locked onto hers, filled with understanding and empathy.Mama Rachel's gaze lifted, and she looked at Elvis, her eyes welling up with tears. "I just hope that one day, some miracle will happen, and I'll be able to renovate this place," she said, her voice cracking.Elvis's smile was warm and reassuring. "Do you have a plan for how y
Chapter Thirty two
As Jade stood before Victoria, her piercing gaze locked onto his, and he felt a shiver run down his spine. "Are you not the one that did it?" she asked, her voice laced with a mix of curiosity and accusation. "Are you not the one who made the call that stopped those hoodlums from destroying my mother's restaurant?" Jade's mind racing, he hesitated, unsure how to respond. He had indeed made the call, but he hadn't personally handled the situation and he couldn't tell if the man he called really helped with how he gave excuses on phone. Perhaps, His family's influence had come into play, and one phone call had resolved the issue. But he knew that admitting to needing confirmation wouldn't bode well; Victoria might perceive it as weakness or attention-seeking.With a stammer, Jade began to speak, "Y-yes, I am... I was the one who... pulled the strings." He paused, taking a deep breath before continuing, "You know how big my family is in this city. I just had to call... one person, and ev
Chapter Thirty one
Mama Racheal's eyes widened in shock as Jade walked into the restaurant, a look of utter bewilderment etched on her face. The last time Victoria had introduced her boyfriend to her family, it wasn't this young man. She had assumed the engagement was a recent development, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. As Jade approached, Mama Racheal leaned in close to Victoria, her voice barely above a whisper. "Vic, who is this young man? And how come I didn't know about him? This isn't the last guy you brought home."Victoria's smile faltered for a moment before she forced it back onto her face. She leaned into her mother's shoulder, trying to conceal her conversation from Elvis's prying ears. "It's a long story, Mom. I'll tell you later. Just play along for now." Her voice was hushed, but Elvis's sharp ears picked up on the whispered conversation. He raised an eyebrow, a knowing glint in his eye. "Typical Victoria," he muttered under his breath, shaking his head
Chapter Thirty
Victoria's eyes sparkled with pride as she boasted about her fiancé. "My fiancé is a big deal in this city. He's from the influential Lester family. When he speaks, even the Mafias and underground bosses listen." She glanced at Elvis, who was leaning against the wall, his expression unbothered. Mama Racheal smiled warmly at Victoria, then turned to Elvis. "It's nice of your fiancé help to have arrived on time, Victoria. But I must say, Elvis's bravery impressed me. He was willing to defend me even when those thugs were armed."Victoria's face darkened, her eyes flashing with annoyance. She didn't like how her mother was making Elvis seem important. To Victoria, Elvis was still the pathetic orphan she'd despised years ago. She cleared her throat loudly, her voice dripping with condescension. "Well, Mother, at least Elvis isn't a complete waste anymore. He's managed to find some use in his miserable life."As she spoke, Elvis's eyes met hers, a knowing smile playing on his lips. He sh
