Chapter 33
The old Mrs. Morrison stayed in the corridor, eavesdropping on what they were saying since she wasn't comfortable because she thought Stella would take revenge on her once she realized her father had been rich and wanted to take her away.Once Travis and Stella finished laughing, old Mrs. Morrison waited for them to say something, but silence crawled for a while.“What happened?” Old Mrs. Morrison thought to herself as she placed her palm on her mouth. “Have they known I am here?”She wasn’t sure, and so she stayed a little longer, trying to figure out what was happening between them. A soft sign came, and a soft voice of Travis followed. “I want to tell you something and I don’t know how to put it.”“What is that?” Stella asked.Old Mrs. Morrison furrowed her face and seriously wanted Travis to say his mind, so she brought her ears closer to the door.“I don’t know how you would react. Will you promise me you won’t tell anyone?” Travis asked.“I won’t.”“Not even to Granny?”“Not e
Chapter 32
Augustus shed tears of joy as he leaned his back on the wall of Private Key bank. He went there to confirm his account balance because he thought he might have received a fake alert from the unknown master. The notification he received didn't show the master's name or account number. All he saw was 95 million 35 thousand dollars. Augustus had thought he would never forgive Liam and Mrs. Morrison, but the happiness that was flowing within him made him forget the pain of how they treated him badly. If not for old Mrs. Morrison, who took everything he owned, the master might not make him a millionaire. Augustus called the private number back but it failed. He then went to the restaurant to have a good meal and then used the opportunity to relax and think of what he would use the money for. The first thought that crossed his mind was of his daughter. He must take her out of Mrs. Morrison's house so that he can show her love he failed to do since her childhood. Days went by and

After getting home and relaxing for some moments, Mr. Williams checked his wristwatch and rose as Stella offered Mrs. Morrison a herbal tea. “I will be going home now. I have an important meeting to attend.” “Thank you very much, Mr. Williams, for being there for me on bad days. I appreciate it. God will repay you in abundance,” Mrs. Morrison said. Mr. Williams smiled. “You are always welcome.” The moment Mr. William left, Mrs. Morrison started the topic with Master. “Augustus, what are you hiding from me? Which master are you?” Augustus sighed. If he says the truth, who would believe the truth anyway? What is the point of saying it? “Mom is talking to you, Augustus,” Liam added. “I’m not the master that Mr. Lucian is talking about,” Augustus said. “Then you might have some connection with that master,” Mrs. Morrison asked. “I don't want to be repeating myself, Mom. I cannot hide from you.” “The way you show courage at Mr. Lucian’s company depends on someone or so
Chapter 30
Augustus frowned as he knelt before Mr. Lucian and said nothing. He can only force himself to knee, but can't force himself to beg. He had made up his mind that Mr. Lucian deserved the punishment for beating Chloe. “I expect you guys to support me. He deserves it and we shouldn't care. I'm not afraid and won't beg him,” Augustus said and rose. “We're not here to spoil his things. He had every right to take us to jail now. The only thing we can do is to find the money,” Mr. William said. “We won't find any money, and he must release Granny now,” Augustus said and looked more aggressive. “Calm down please, Dad,” Stella said. “I don't have time for rubbish people. What I said is what I will stand on. I will not release Mrs. Morrison till he pays $8,000. In fact…” He pointed to Stella while looking at his other security men. “Take his daughter too and send the rest out of my company. I don't want to see any of them except if he comes with my money. And I have increased the amou
Chapter 29
Chloe slightly opened her eyes on the hospital bed and was transfixed by the faces of her family sitting beside her. "She has woken." Liam, the only person who didn't sleep last night, swiftly rubbed his eyes. He relaxed his shoulders on the chair and took a deep breath. He had been watching the rising breath of his daughter since last night to be sure she was alive and, at the same time, was furious about what Mr. Lucian did to her. Old Mrs. Morrison opened her eyes ajar and stopped Liam from grappling with Chloe's hand. "I understand your feelings, but let her rest." Liam then hugged Mrs. Morrison and sobbed like a small child. "Mr. Lucian is so wicked. I thank God my daughter hasn't married him. He is going to regret it. He would die in prison." Others were woken by Liam's mourning voices and were relieved to see Chloe sitting up. "This isn't the right moment to cry," Mr. Williams said as he checked his wristwatch. "Now she is fine, what should we do next?" Old Mrs. Morr
Chapter 28
Chloe wore a blue gown early in the morning and went to Travis's door, knocking. "Open the door, Travis." She gave Travis a rate-me sort of smile as he opened the door. Travis widened his eyebrows. "Hey. You are so beautiful like a morning glow." Chloe hissed. "I want you to tell me I am ugly. I want to fail. Give me ten minutes." She hurried back to her room and changed into a black skirt and white top. She knocked on Travis's door again. "How do I look now?" Travis took a deep sigh. "Don't you look in the mirror?" "Just tell me how I look." "I won't lie. You become more pretty." "Two minutes please." Chloe went back to her room. She wore her vest, jeans, and cap, looking like a tomboy. The moment Travis saw her coming, he burst into laughter. And without asking how she looked, she took Travis's laughter as a way of telling her she was ugly. But no, Travis wanted to tell her to wear the first blue gown because the vest revealed more of her alluring face. Stella went to Trav
