The voice belonged to a woman and when they all turned to the direction it came from, they saw a beautiful young lady in a black jumpsuit standing with her arms folded across her chest.

She had a very confident look on her face was seriously glaring at Richmond and his clique.

When her cold eyes met with Svetlana, she snorted at her. “And you, Svetlana or whatever you're called. Take my brother's and parents' names out of your mouth.”

"Since you've decided to follow your rich playboy boyfriend, why won't you leave Adolphus alone.”

"What did he ever do to you except for helping you out, you ungrateful bitch.”

Abigail was not afraid of Richmond and his friends. She had to stand up for Adolphus when he saw them bullying him again like the previous night.

Her audacity was intimidating but Svetlana managed to retort.

“Abigail, the lover girl. Of course, you'll defend your wretched crush but you have to watch how you speak to me next time." 

“I won't tolerate your insolence no matter who you think you are." 

“You're just a barking dog that can't bite, dear Svetlana. I dare you to do your worst. What am I even saying?" 

“There's nothing you can do except for hiding behind your promiscuous boyfriend." Abigail fired back, still glaring at each of them.

“I won't let you keep insulting me, Abigail Graham. But I'll let this pass because of the relationship I have with your brother, Pius." Richmond cautioned her but she started laughing.

He ignored her and scanned the lecture hall in search of Pius who was not there.

Adolphus and his friends just quietly watched the drama with Donald and Glover laughing to their heart's content. However, Adolphus kept a serious face and pretended not to notice what was going on.

Abigail may be helping him but he didn't ask for her help.

He had decided not to have anything to do with her and any member of her family. 

Now everyone would think that they have something together if she keeps interfering with his businesses.

“What will you do, Richmond?" Abigail had now decided to completely take the matter into her hands. But then, the drama was cut short.

At that moment, a police car pulled up outside the hall and two policemen walked into the hall and the silent whispers amongst the other students increased.

“What's going on? Why is the police here?" A student blurted out and another inquired.

“I'm sure they're here to arrest someone. Who might that be?" Another student replied.

"Look, they're going towards Adolphus. I'm sure he's the one who'll be whisked out of here. Let's watch and see.”

As the other students continued to converse amongst themselves, Richmond called out to the policemen.

“Officers, it's good that you're here. Look at him over there and take him away." Richmond pointed at Adolphus while nodding with so much pride.

He believed that the officers had come to throw Adolphus out of the school on Mr. Lesley's orders.

“Please, hurry up and take him away from here already.” Svetlana supported her boyfriend. 

They were all confused when the policemen passed by Adolphus and went to stand before Richmond and Svetlana. 

“Mr. Richmond, you and your friends are under arrest for framing Adolphus last night and illegally arresting him.”

“We saw the footage of all that transpired at the birthday party. Adolphus was clearly innocent of the accusations against him.” One of the officers spoke to the astonishment of everyone present. 

“What! Have you gone mad? How dare you come here to embarrass me before everyone?” Richmond barked, breathing fire and brimstone as he glared at each of the policemen. 

He also saw that some students had brought out their phones and were making videos of him.

As the students president and a well respected person in that school, Richmond was beyond embarrassed. 

“No, you got it all wrong. You're supposed to take him away from the school premises because he's already expelled.” Richmond pointed at Adolphus as he spoke. 

“When their faces met, Adolphus raised his brows at him and flashed him with a mischievous grin.”

That action got him really mad that he charged at Adolphus but the policemen subdued him. 

“It's either you peacefully come with us or we'll be forced to drag you with us. However, I'll advise that you save yourself the embarrassment and follow us.”

Richmond swallowed hard when he saw how serious the men were. He glanced at Svetlana and each of his friends who were looking helplessly at him. 

“Richmond, are they really going to arrest us. The other students are making videos of us and I don't like it. Do something already.” Svetlana called out to him while shaking his hands. 

“Call your father to come and save us from this embarrassment.”

Richmond quickly nodded his head and reached for his trousers pocket to bring out his phone but one of the officers stopped him. 

“We don't have time for this. You can make a call when we get to the police station. Now move it.”

Seeing that Richmond was reluctant to follow them, they decided to drag him out while his friends were led out. 

“You have no idea who you're pushing. I'm going to deal with all of you.” Richmond cursed at them but they didn't reply to him. 

Instead, they continued dragging him out. 

While there was chaos and a lot of noises from the other students, one voice stood out. 

“Enjoy your stay in the police cell, dear Richmond and my darling Svetlana. You guys should continue your love story there.” Adolphus spoke mockingly in a very loud voice that left Richmond growling in so much anger.

Although Adolphus knew that Richmond's father would set him free immediately. However, he was satisfied with how he was embarrassed before everyone.

    Abigail understood clearly why her mother was suddenly acting so sweet to her. They've seen the news about Adolphus and as expected, they'd surely want to talk to her about it.She stopped walking and turned to them, keeping a very serious face as she greeted her parents.Brett walked up to her, her face lit with a very bright smile as she cupped Abigail's face. “My beautiful daughter, you've really won the price. I'm sorry for everything we said about you and Adolphus." “In fact, we're taking back our words because we've realized that we're wrong. You and Adolphus belong to each other." Abigail scanned their faces and could see something like excitement on them. They were happy but she could also see that uncertainty on their faces. It was as a result of what they did to Adolphus in the past. They were scared as well, scared or what Adolphus would do to them especially with his new status.Abigail let out a dry chuckle and shook her head many times. After a moment of silence, she

    Adolphus thought about Bradley's words and decided to listen to him.He was right. What Abigail needed at that time was to be on her own without him bothering her.She needs to get used to learning the truth about Adolphus.It was still looking like a dream as she made her way home that night.While Bradley drove Adolphus home, Abigail's parents were in their sitting room, totally in awe about the news they watched. The news about Adolphus being the son of Nicolas McAllen.They didn't believe it at first, but the news was all over various TV channels.In fact, every television station was talking about him and there was no way they'd all be lying.For that reason, they had no other choice but to believe the news.Brett turned to her husband whose mouth was open in shock. The shock of the news they'd received.“Am I the only one who saw the news?" She muttered the question and her husband shook his head a few times.“No, I saw it too." Benson replied back to her, their eyes fixed on ea

    Abigail had just learned that he was the anonymous student in school. “I can explain, Abigail. Please don't hang up. Or we can meet up now if you want. I'll tell you everything." “There's nothing to talk about, Adolphus." Abigail shot back at him before adding coldly. “You've been deceiving me all this time and now you want to talk?" “Just let me be. I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again. Enjoy your wealth and know that I'm not interested in it. I'll never be." With that, Abigail ended the call and blocked Adolphus's number. She had nothing to say to him anymore. Or maybe she was just so angry and was acting according to her mood.For the rest of the day, Abigail could not get Adolphus off her mind and the deceit. She couldn't even do her job properly as the thought of everything clouded her mind.It was so heartbreaking that someone she's trusted so much would lie to her.Does he think she'd be interested in his money?Adolphus, on the other hand, could not con

    As he addressed the executive, Adolphus felt so bold. A boldness he didn't know he had.He discussed briefly with them and surprisingly, they were corporating and the conversation was flowing well.Only those two men opposed him in a few circumstances. The men who had earlier questioned his capability.Adolphus replied politely to everyone who asked him a question. All he needed was their corporation and they promised to give it to him. He also needed to do a great job in order to earn their trust.Less than an hour later, the meeting was finished and Adolphus went to start his job as the CEO. His father's office was handed over to him while Nicolas took over a different office as the Chairman of McAllen corporation.He had no intention of relaxing and leaving all the work for Adolphus.His job was not yet done, especially as Adolphus was still a newbie.Inside the luxury office that had become his own, Adolphus took in a deep sigh and went to sit on the swivel chair, his bright face

    The sudden announcement left everyone in a state of bewilderment and they began to whisper amongst themselves again.The news was a shocking one as Nicolas had never shown any sign of replacing himself.He was still active as the CEO and Chairman and did his work well.Was he retiring already?As if he read their minds, Nicolas quickly answered the questions in their mind.“I'm not yet retiring. I'm simply stepping aside for him to take the mantle of leadership. The earlier he learns how to manage the McAllen empire, the better for me, for us." At that moment, Nicolas sounded like someone who was speaking gibberish. The executives could not comprehend anything he was saying.Who was he referring to as the one taking up the mantle of leadership?"Mr. McAllen. You're still beating about the bush. Who's this person you're referring to? Why not go ahead and introduce him already.” One person stated and Nicolas nodded his head in agreement."Of course.” He muttered, turning to Kincaid and

    "I don't work for you, Mrs. McAllen, so you don't have the right to fire me. The only one with that right is Mr. Nicolas McAllen.” Bradley replied back without fear, leaving her extremely furious.He wasn't someone to cower before Ursula's intimidating and threatening words. He just respected her as the boss's wife. Bradley knew his worth and was certain that Nicolas would never fire him because his wife asked him to do so.“The boss asked me to bring his son to the office today. That's what I'm doing. So if you have any problems with that, just confront your husband instead of stopping me from doing my job." “Ah!" “What!" The guards exclaimed when they heard those words, their eyes widened and immediately darted towards Adolphus who had been silent all along.The one who was just called the boss's son.They had a lot of questions in their hearts but didn't utter a word. They only kept gaping at each other with questioning glances and with their mouths open."Guards, take him away f
