The old woman glared at Nolan, her eyes narrowing as if she had been waiting for him to ask her that question.

“What do you think I want?” she snapped. “Can’t you see that I’m hurt? Can’t you see I need to go to the hospital? Do you think it’s with my teeth that I'll pay the hospital bill?”

Nolan was right that all she just wanted was money and he could see it written all over her face that she was already preparing to take advantage of him.

“Okay,” Nolan muttered, trying to argue with her. “How much do you need?”

The woman didn’t even hesitate before she called the amount she wanted. “I’ll need a hundred thousand dollars.”

Nolan’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. He stepped back a little as if he hadn’t heard her well.

“What?” he asked, his voice filled with shock. “A hundred thousand dollars? For what exactly?”

He shook his head in disbelief. He had expected her to say something like five hundred dollars or maybe a thousand at most. But one hundred thousand? That was insane.

    Ginny turned to her mum angrily as soon as they reached outside the hospital, her voice loud. “Why do you always try to act like you care about these people when you clearly don’t mum!? You’re just wasting your time and wasting my time too. Nolan doesn’t even deserve us coming here, neither does his family. I don’t know why you keep insisting to be around them. Didn’t you see the look Nolan was giving you? He doesn’t appreciate it and doesn't respect it.”Her mum sighed but her face also showed that she was angty.“I saw the way he looked and he’s such a spoilt, rude brat. He lacks discipline and lacks respect for his elders and also, I can’t believe that he can’t even see that we’re doing him a favour. He’s just a horrible kind of child.”Ginny folded her arms and shook her head.“Anyways, let this be the last time we’re involving ourselves with him or his family. Let this be the very last time, mum. We’re no longer in that neighbourhood, we don’t live there anymore. We now stay i

    Nolan got to the hospital and went straight to his uncle’s ward but what he saw when he opened the door shocked him. Ginny and her mother were also inside the room, sitting comfortably like they were part of the family. Nolan froze at the door for a few seconds, his eyes narrowing. He was surprised to see them there because Ginny’s family had never treated him well. In fact, they had always looked down on him and his family, making them feel small every chance they got. Ginny was even worse. She had always acted like he was beneath her, like they were not in the same school, and most times she was disgusted by him and never bothered to hide it. That was why he couldn’t understand why she and her mother suddenly came to visit his uncle. To Nolan, it didn’t make sense at all.His younger sister noticed him standing at the door. She waved her hand at him, calling his name. Nolan forced a smile and walked into the room, trying his best to keep his face calm. He greeted Ginny and her mum w

    Nolan turned back to enter his car so he could finally leave, while Sam was still standing a few feet away talking to Thomas. He didn’t even bother to listen or try to understand what they were saying to each other. He wasn’t interested in the discussion at all. Right now, all he wanted was to get out of there and head to the hospital to see his uncle. He had already wasted too much time here, and it made him even more upset because he knew he was already late. The more he thought about it, the more angry he felt at how much of his time had been wasted for nothing.He pulled open the car door, ready to enter into the driver’s seat, when he noticed Elizabeth walking up to the other side of the car. She was about to open the passenger seat to get in with him. Nolan paused and turned to her.“Oh, you don’t have to come with me,” Nolan said to her immediately.Elizabeth paused, her hand on the car handle, and looked at him. “But I want to make sure that you’re alright,” she replied quic

    Nolan remembered clearly how Jett and Damien were both very quiet all through the class earlier today and it now made complete sense to him why they were behaving that way. Back then, he didn’t think too much about it because he thought maybe they were just not in the mood to talk or maybe they were distracted by something else but now, after hearing what Rico said, he finally understood. They had already planned something ahead for him. He chuckled to himself when it all clicked in his head. He had given Jett too many chances in the pas and he had allowed him to treat him anyhow. He never really reacted or fought him back and when he took Savannah from him, he didn’t do anything or even complain about it. He stayed quiet and endured everything even though it hurt him deeply. When Jett went around embarrassing him and disgracing him in front of people, he hardly ever said anything or tried to defend himself. He just swallowed everything down and moved on. All these things must h

    “You even had the audacity to slap young master? Do you even understand how crazy what you have just done is?” Sam’s voice was cold as he spoke to Rico, his eyes fixed on him angrily, not caring if he was bowing to him and begging.Thomas’s eyes widened immediately, like he couldn’t believe his ears. He stood where he waa as the shock spread all over his face. He could not believe what Sam just said. He could not believe that Rico, his so-called best man, had actually slapped the young master.Thomas knew exactly who Nolan was. He knew him long before he even became the young master of the Lancaster family.He had been working for Nolan’s grandfather, side by side with Sam. They had both served as trusted security guards, men the old master could rely on without doubt but Thomas made one big mistake. He broke that trust and it was out of greed and foolishness, he stole some very important documents and money from Nolan’s grandfather and that mistake almost cost him his life.Sam was

    A few minutes later, the sound of car tires screeched loudly on the road and a big black van stopped in front of them, making the man who hit Nola jump up with excitement, his face lighting up. He pointed at the car and shouted, “Yes! That’s my boss! You are all finished now! You don’t know the kind of problem you have brought to yourselves today!”The car door opened and a tall man stepped out. He looked dangerous and behind him, about six men also came out, each of them holding iron bars and strong sticks in their hands. They looked like they were ready for a fight, their eyes looking around with anger as they surrounded the place slowly.The thug that Nolan and Sam had beaten staggered forward, to meet him. still holding his chest from the kick. He pointed his finger straight at Sam, then at Nolan, and then at Elizabeth. “You three are in deep trouble now!” he shouted. “Do you see? My boss is here with his men! You are all finished. You think you can touch me, beat me like an
