“I don’t know what to do!” Uncle Ken’s wife wailed on the phone. “All my money can’t just go like that. I worked so hard for this. I don’t know what to do anymore.”Uncle Ken stood frozen in the hospital hallway, his face pale as he listened to her. He knew how much they had both invested into this plan. He knew the countless nights his wife had stayed up planning and how much money had gone into making it a reality. Now to hear that it had all been thrown away with just one rejection, it was almost unbelievable. He rubbed his forehead hard, not knowing what to say to calm her down.“Just… just calm down,” he said finally, his own voice heavy. “Let’s meet at home, then we’ll go together to meet the contractor for further explanation. This can’t be happening. Maybe there’s a mistake somewhere. Just wait for me, okay? Please calm down until I get home.”He hung up the call slowly, his hand still gripping the phone tightly, his mind spinning in circles as he tried to process the disaster
Chapter 136
Nolan couldn’t believe his ears when Elizabeth told him she just bought him fifteen stores. Fifteen whole stores, not one, not two, but fifteen in the biggest and most talked about plaza in the entire country. He just stood there frozen, staring at her with his mouth slightly open like his brain needed extra time to process what he had just heard. Just yesterday, he was being looked down on as if he was a nobody, and now here he was, the official owner of fifteen luxurious stores inside a place where people were literally fighting tooth and nail to even get one slot in. He didn’t even know how to feel at that exact moment, maybe shocked, grateful, scared or confused. It was like all the emotions in the world were flooding him at the same time.He thought back to just a few minutes ago when his uncles were insulting him, saying he was wasting his time going to school and acting like he was useless. They had mocked him, treated him like he was just some ordinary boy with no direction, b

“Don’t stress yourself over him,” Uncle Ken said to his brother, shaking his head as if the matter wasn’t worth another breath. “We’ve helped him all his life, from when he had nothing till now, and this is how he decides to pay us back? Let’s just forget about him and his family too. Let’s see how they’ll survive without us. We’ll see who they’ll call when the time comes and they need money or help. Let’s see who they’ll come begging to then.”He smirked after saying it, clearly satisfied with himself. “I just hope he remembers what he just said today,” he added.Nolan was about to speak and to reply to them, when something happened that none of them expected. His sister came wheeling their father slowly from behind the wall and Nolan was surprised to see him there, but his uncles looked even more shocked and from the look on their brother’s face, it was clear that he had heard every single word they said.Nolan’s father’s eyes were cold and filled with disappointment. “You don’t hav
Chapter 134
Nolan got back to the car and drove straight to the plaza, and just as he was about to park when he got there, his phone started ringing and he saw that it was Elizabeth calling him. He picked it up, her voice feeling his ears, apologising as she told him that he should try to reschedule their meeting because she suddenly got called by his grandfather and she needed to go and see him right away. Her voice sounded kind of rushed like she didn’t want to disappoint him but she didn’t have any choice. She apologised again, telling him how sorry she was, but Nolan just told her that it was fine. He didn’t want to make it sound like he was bothered because, after all, it wasn’t her fault.So instead of wasting his time at the plaza, he turned his car around and decided to head to the hospital to go and spend some time with his uncle. He drove down there, and when he got to the hospital, he packed his car before stepping out and walking inside.He got to the reception and was about to take

He was about to continue driving out of the school when he suddenly paused as he realized something. “Shit,” he muttered under his breath. “How could I forget my bag?” He quickly found a spot to turn his car around and drove back into the school compound.He walked briskly back into the classroom, shaking his head at himself. “I can’t believe I left my bag behind, what was I thinking.” he muttered again and grabbed the bag from his seat and was about to leave the classroom immediately when he overheard some of the few people who were still hanging around talking amongst themselves.“Do you think Savannah really broke up with Jett?” one of them asked curiously.“I mean, ever since the last time they had that fight in class, I haven’t seen them together at all,” another student replied. “So it must be true.”Nolan paused for a moment, standing silently near the door. He didn’t care about their conversation and he didn’t even know why he was listening. He shook his head to push their voi
Chapter 132
Jett ended the call with his dad, staring down at his phone angrily as he replayed his father’s words in his head. His dad had told him to give him a few minutes before he would get back to him, but even though it had not been long, Jett was already restless and couldn’t stay still. He kept tapping his foot on the ground, his eyes fixed on his wristwatch as if that would somehow make the time move faster. His patience was running thin and every second that passed without his dad’s call back felt like an hour, and it was driving him insane.He didn’t just want his dad to call back; he needed solid proof that Nolan had a hand in what happened to him. He wanted evidence that Nolan was behind Rico’s actions and that Nolan was the reason why he had been humiliated, beaten, and scammed of a million dollars. He needed something to confirm that Nolan was the one pulling the strings because if he got that proof, he would make sure Nolan regretted it badly. He would fuck him up in a way Nolan
