Annelisse, who seemed to have expected her brother to ask such a question, immediately raised her face and looked at Eric with a challenging gaze."Eric, my engagement with him is just a matter of time. Then, what about you? You should already be married. But what's happening now? You don't even have a girlfriend and now you're telling me to get engaged?" Annelisse asked.Eric chuckled when asked back like that. "Hey, we were talking about your relationship, about my love affairs. Why are you bringing it up now?"Annelisse shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, "Oh, of course we have to talk about it because mom and dad really want you to get married. So, instead of you talking about my relationship with Jack which is now clear and it's just a matter of time before it's official, let's talk about your own relationship."Eric snorted and immediately got up and stuck out his tongue like a typical child when he wouldn't obey the orders of his parents."I'm not in the mood to discuss it and
Garric suddenly realized that even if he exploded in anger right now, he probably wouldn't get anything. He already knew his parents too well and he wasn't sure if his parents would actually listen to him.He had lived from childhood with his parents educating him in that way so this time he tried to hold himself back from letting loose even though he was already too tired.However, he still hadn't found a way to get out of that vicious circle so inevitably the young man ended up trying to keep his head down to his parents to stay in his comfort zone.Garric raised his head slowly and replied, "Jack is not a snot-nosed boy like you said, Father. He is very cunning and he seems to know my weaknesses. But, Dad. Mom, you two don't need to worry because I won't give up so easily.""This is just the first step and this failure doesn't mean we will lose the next step. Mom, you know me very well and you know that I am not one to give my enemies what they want," Garric explained the matter a
"Yes, Grandpa. Whatever you want I will do," Jack said in such a gentle tone that his grandfather smiled back. The two then chatted for a while before they finally returned to their respective rooms and rested their bodies. However, that was not the case for Gideon Miles who was currently awaiting the arrival of George, Jack Morland's personal bodyguard who had just returned from his duties of checking the surrounding area. "George, how are things around this house?" Gideon asked when the young man had entered his private room. George quickly replied, "I found no signs of movement from Mr. Garric's family guards, sir. It seems that they have completely retreated and are not watching the area around this house."Gideon nodded his head and looked relieved but he then said, "You should tighten things up even more. Don't let the young master be alone or even if he wants to be alone you should keep a guard not too far away from him.""Yes, sir."Gideon asked again, "Is it true that onl
However, it was unexpected. George wasn't scared or distressed by the words of his coworker who had worked for the Morland family.Instead, George laughed out loud as if laughing at Damian's words.Damian glared in exasperation and with the overwhelming anger he felt he said, "You dare laugh at me? Are you really tired of living?"George stopped laughing and now glared back at his senior. "I have to stay alive because it's to repay all that Mr. Hugh has done for me. And ... earlier you said that you seemed to have the power to get rid of me. If I may ask you, who are you and do you have the right to throw me out of this house when the owner of this house entrusted me with such a great thing?"Damian gritted his teeth as he could no longer contain his anger. Without another word, Demian punched George right on his lower lip, causing an injury. George once again laughed until Damian could no longer contain his annoyance anymore and then he attacked his junior again with a little bruta
Feeling misspoken, Damian did not reply to his friend's words. Ralph shook his head in disbelief at Damian's words. "I didn't realize that's what you've been thinking about me all this time."Not wanting to talk to his friend anymore, Ralph moved backwards and then before he decided to leave the park, he took the time to say, "You have too much hatred for people who have much better success than you.""But ... trust me, Damian. It will only make you more unable to use or develop those abilities of yours. You'll only think about other people's abilities that you shouldn't have to."Ralph paused for a moment before continuing, "However, if that is the path you choose, then go ahead and follow your emotions and be prepared if one day you will regret all your actions including when you accuse those around you of getting what they want not because of their abilities."After saying that, Ralph left the area and left Damian alone to think. Unfortunately, Ralph's words did not succeed in ma
Hey, calm down, Ralph, what's going on with you?" "We were just talking casually, why do you look so emotional?"Someone else also responded, "But, I'm really wondering. Who exactly is your best friend? Why do you seem to be defending George? Aren't you friends with Damian?""Oh, that's right. Are you not friends with Damian anymore or what?"These questions made Ralph feel even more irritated. He actually hated it when his personal business was interfered with by others. Especially when it came to his friendship with other bodyguards. He just wanted to work as a bodyguard comfortably and not have to worry about things outside of that but in fact they had upset him just because he expressed his opinion about what they had done. Ralph stood up from his chair and said, "The words I said to you had nothing to do with my friendship with Damian or George. What I am surprised about is that you are all seniors and you are bodyguards who have been in this world for a long time. You have b
"Yes, why, do you have a problem with that?" Jack asked his personal bodyguard with a serious look.George stammered back, "No, Young Master. I certainly don't have a problem with it."George had never thought anything of the young master, he was just a little surprised at Jack Morland's sudden action.Jack suddenly smiled to overcome the awkwardness between him and his personal bodyguard. "Hey, you don't have to be so tense!" Jack said in a much more relaxed tone compared to before. Jack then added while leaning back on the chair, "George, I'll really inherit everything from the Morland family one day. And when that time comes, I must be able to manage everything. Not just the company but also other things, like managing the bodyguards who serve the family."Indeed, after the official announcement of the only grandson of Hugh Morland who became the sole heir in the Morland family, Jack only managed the entire company, both subsidiaries and core companies such as the Morland Group.
However, George could not choose anything else because it was already an order from the young master that he could not refute.He had memorized how the master easily gave orders that could not be changed or canceled."Well, I'd better tell them now. Instead of them finding out too late and thinking things that aren't," George muttered and he quickly took out his cell phone that was in his pocket. Before he contacted the bodyguards working in the house, he ordered some of the bodyguards to protect his young master while he was carrying out his young master's other duties. After the bodyguards were in their respective positions to watch and guard Jack Morland, George moved to get out of the way. He then immediately contacted one of the people he knew, although he wasn't too familiar. "Hello, Chris. Aren't you going anywhere yet?" George asked the man. "No, what's up? Does the young master need any more help?" Chris asked from the other side. George could have simply made an announ
