"Look who finally decided to show up," the familiar voice sneered. "I almost thought you were dead or something. You poor shrimps always find new ways to avoid paying up your debts." The voice belonged to Punch Walker, the notorious school lender who didn’t play about his money, even if it meant death. "Pu—Punch?..." Peter was startled. He knew a day would come when Punch would pester him for the money, but he didn’t expect it tonight. What terrible timing... He had just spent all his earnings on a diamond ring he planned to gift Sophia as a proposal. But Punch didn’t look like he was ready to hear any of that. "I’ll be quick and snappy with you. You got my money?" Punch asked with a cruel frown. Peter was short of words. He didn’t know how to respond because, truthfully, he didn’t have it. His words stumbled over each other as he searched for the perfect lie. "I... I... Uhm..." "I guess that means no." Punch chimed in curtly. "it’s not like that, Punch. I’ll get you
Chapter 055 ~ Tumoil
It was midday, the sun was almost gone by this hour. Students were scrambling around school environment, making their way to their separate rooms,houses, some to the cafeteria. Troy matched through with grace, his presence commanding the atmosphere, alongside him was a woman. "Mr. Troy Williams? You're under arrest for the murder of Punch Walker."It was three hours until midnight. Today, Peter was finally going to propose to his lover Sophia and ask her to be his girlfriend. They had been together for over two years now, and he felt it was time to make things official. The bright, lively smile on his face made it clear just how excited he was about this decision. He was about to wrap up for the day when the harsh, grumbling voice of the manager rang out from behind him. "Hey!" the voice growled. "Peter, what do you think you're doing?" the manager asked rudely. "Uh... I'm about to close for the day, Boss. My shift is over," Peter replied with ease. "Your shift is over only
Chapter 054 ~ Surprise, Surprise
It was midday, the sun was almost gone by this hour. Students were scrambling around school environment, making their way to their separate rooms,houses, some to the cafeteria. Troy matched through with grace, his presence commanding the atmosphere, alongside him was a woman.Jake, Ethan, and Ben froze. They swallowed so hard, it felt like stone. Their throats suddenly became dry. "Can't talk now?" Peter jabbed. "Cat got your tongue?" They all stood silent, really silent... until Jake decided to break the silence with a slightly shaky voice. "We are not afraid of you, Peter Lawson," he said. "We know you're all talk and no bite. You can't do shit to us, or else Punch will make your life a living hell. You don't want that, do you?" "Of course I don't," Peter smirked. "Exactly," Jake beamed. "Now get the fuck out of our way, and we'll pretend this never happened. We may even consider sparing your life." Peter turned his head a little, as if trying to look backward, glancing
Chapter 053 ~ Power Shift
Immediately Peter entered the boardroom as Ms. Price trailed behind him. The moment he stepped in, his eyes landed on the company’s shareholders seated proudly on their soft, comfy leather executive chairs. All their eyes landed on the twenty-one-year-old standing right before them. Most of them couldn’t believe their eyes. Was this the new Operating Officer who was supposed to be introduced to them today? The looks on their faces were ones of pure disbelief. Peter, however, walked in, making his way toward an empty seat obviously left for him. He studied all their expressions and body language. Some even began to murmur among themselves. His eyes fell particularly on one elderly man who looked to be in his late fifties. The disgusted frown on his face made it clear he was going to be a pain in the ass. The board members were seven in number. Peter counted them inwardly before settling down. Thirty percent of them looked elderly, some with grey hairs, while the other seventy perc

“What the hell is going on here?!” the new voice rang out. Heels clicking against the tarred ground as every head spun toward the source of the voice. The approaching figure was Ms. Valentina Price, one of the shareholders of Gramont and a trusted ally of the Grahams. Valentina had been friends and classmates with Madam Margaret even before she got married. She had been around the firm for a really long time and was among one of the most respected figures in the company. Peter observed carefully as the woman catwalked majestically. She was so beautiful and looked young as hell, which made it quite difficult to estimate her age. Her hair was packed neatly in a knotted ponytail, her scent glorious. She emerged with a vicious frown on her face, eyes piercing through the silly security men. “Ms. Price, we caught this intruder wandering around the premises without invitation, but don’t worry, ma’am, we’re about to bundle him out of here before he causes more trouble.” one of the s
Chapter 051 ~ Gramont HQ
Peter arrived at the Graham Company. The place was exactly as pictured. Almost everywhere in the building was made of glass. The tarred roads leading to the company were so neat they lacked an atom of dirt. The company name and logo displayed boldly on the rooftop, on a rectangular waterproof LED screen. He climbed down from the cab he had used to arrive at the company, staring at the place where he’d be serving as the Acting Chief Operating Officer at just twenty-one years old. He couldn’t believe his dreams were slowly coming to pass. Just last year, he had gotten admitted into Primeton University after series of countless rejections to study Business, he had a bold dream of owning a multi-billion-dollar company that would someday dominate most of the countries of the world. And now? He had just discovered that his real family were the founders and major shareholders of Gramont. Gramont was a very popular fashion brand in America. It was among the top five in the world.
