Chapter 50: A Gift
Chapter 50“This house belongs to my master, Mr. David Moore, and I'm in charge of everything here," the butler replied."Late Mr. David Moore,” the man corrected, nodding his head. Then he adjusted his suit before continuing. "For your notice, since you look clueless, I'm Mr. Jones Wei’s representative, who lent your boss a huge amount of money, which he promised to repay. But quite unfortunately, he couldn't before his son took his life. And according to the agreement, everything belonging to him automatically turns ours. That means, we're the legal owner of everything he had.” The butler gulped, speechless. David Moore had made mention of that before his death, but he didn't expect these people to be this heartless to come immediately after the property without prior notice.Without saying another word, he turned to the other man who had come with him, smirking widely. “Show him the papers. Let him see the evidence.”The man dres
Chapter 49: The Butler addresses the Servants
Chapter 49June sighed. “He called? That's the guy I told you about—the guy who saved me from harassment today.” She extended her hand, taking the phone from her mother.As she glanced down at the screen, she nodded in confirmation. " Yeah, he's the one. Guess, he called to confirm if I'm back home safely.”“Oh, I didn't know that or I should have thanked him properly," her mother replied. Then she stepped forward, reluctantly placing her hand on June's shoulder before adding, "J—June, I think Charlie's a good person. W—Why don't you give him a chance?” June narrowed her eyes at her mother, blinking in perplexity and disbelief. “What are you talking about, Mum? You don't even know him just yet and you're concluding he's a good person?” She felt a pang of disappointment. "Besides, we're just getting to know each other, so how could you possibly say I should give him a chance?”June knew her single life had been a burden to her parents, especially her mother. She wanted her to be in a
Chapter 48: Who's Charlie to you?
Chapter 48Hearing the voice, Charlie frowned slightly at the question. Didn't she save his number? He sat up straighter on his bed, his voice nervous as he replied. “Hey, June. It's Charlie. We both met at the restaurant today, remember?” He reluctantly added. "You didn't save my contact?”There was a brief pause from the other end. "Hello June, are you still there?” Charlie asked."I'm sorry, but this isn't June. It is the mum. What do you want?”Charlie shifted immediately on the bed, his heart almost skipping. He hadn't noticed it wasn't June. She and her mother shared a similar voice.He quickly checked the time. It was past 9 in the evening. “Um…um….just wanted to know if she's gone home safely that's all,” Charlie stammered, his voice breaking slightly under the tension built in his mind. “But I guess she's home now and safe so I'll hang up now.”His finger quickly moved to the end button, about t
Chapter 47: The Cops
Chapter 47Everyone froze in place, their faces drained of color as they watched David's body fall to the ground, lifeless. But just then, David's personal bodyguard rushed forward and leaned in, pressing his head on David's fallen body. His jaw tightened as he mumbled. “He's dead.” His lips quivered as he confirmed, tears dropping from his eyes. He added, gritting his teeth as he fiercely looked up at Pete, “You killed him!" At that moment, Helen, who had stood frozen in daze, ran toward the body with vibrating legs. She leaned in and started yanking the body. "W—wake up, David. Please, wake up! You can't die like this! Wake up!" She sobbed uncontrollably, sniffling heavily.The butler stood there completely speechless. His hand fidgeted at the edge of his garment.But still there, Pete's other friend, who was mourning over his friend whom David had shot dead, reluctantly wiped his teary eyes roughly, satisfaction clear in his eyes. “T—that serves better,” he murmured, nodding h
Chapter 46: David's Dead?
Chapter 46 Pete froze mid-run, his eyes wide as he turned back to see his friend, who had rescued him, and was running together with him, fallen to the ground like a huge tree. Blood was gushing out of his body. For a moment, he felt like he was dreaming. His heart cut as he leaned in to touch the body. He slowly rolled his body up with a trembling hand. As his body came to full view, Pete gasped, his breath catching. Before he could utter a word, another of his friends shouted. “Ah! He's dead!" He let out a bitter cry as he shook him, attempting to wake him up. "Get up, man, please. You can't die." He continued to cry, tears crowded his eyes and began to stream down his cheek, soaking his cloth. “Your Dad killed him!" For a moment, Pete winked, completely stunned. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he clutched his chest. At that moment, he didn't know whether to cry or stay calm.
Chapter 45: David Shoots Pete's Friend
Chapter 45Pete's breath hitched and he staggered backward, scared as he saw the small, compacted firearm firmly wrapped in his father's hand. His index finger was placed outside the trigger guard as if ready to shoot.Pete felt his soul leaving him. A cold sweat started forming on his forehead as he blinked constantly at his father in shock, confusion, and disbelief.What's he trying to do? He mumbled inside, still staring, unable to form a coherent speech.His first friend's legs began to shake uncontrollably as his gaze fell on the gun. He looked at his other friend, who was already sweating, silently asking what the problem was.Just then, Pete opened his mouth to utter a word when David, still aiming the gun at him, flickered his eyes between the two figures who stood behind Pete, his grip around the gun tightened. “You both are his friends, correct?" He inquired, a cold smirk trying to escape his lips. “Join him. Get on your knees! And begin to explain." The two friends looked
