While Caroline was still in the company, she received a confession video of Jason stating how he plotted everything and also how Mark was the one who instigated him into it.

Then again, it had to be her brother who wanted her downfall more than anything else. Was it that until she had given up and handed over the company back to him, was when he would stop trying to bring her to her demise? Why was it that people who were supposed to be family, and the closest thing you were supposed to have in the world turned out to be worse than one's enemies?

In the end, she couldn't bring herself to ask the police to arrest Charlotte. It wasn't her fault since she was threatened by Emily and because she had a kid she was taking care of, Caroline was unable to let such harsh judgment befall her.

She was once again put in a tough position, but that didn't mean she was supposed to be heartless. As for Emily and Jason, she made sure to expose what they did in a press conference. Also, she was sure

    On the other hand, Caroline was on her way home in a taxi when she received a notification on her phone. Her account had been credited with the sum of fifteen million dollars.This made her gasp so loudly that the cab man had to look at her in worry, thinking the worst scenario had happened to her.“Did something bad happen?” He turned around to find her staring at her phone intensely. Realizing she must have raised an alarm, she quickly brushed off the expression on her face and smiled. “Ooh, it's nothing.” She said. Besides how could she start telling him she received such a huge amount of money when after all he was a stranger to her?“I see.” The man looked away and kept on driving.Meanwhile, Caroline remained restless. She became so eager to go home just so she could ask August if he had something to do with this. Or does this mean what he had predicted was right? The money was from Mark. He wouldn't randomly send her money unless maybe…. She clasped her mouth tightly unable t

    In no time, so many people hop out of the car and behold, they were all family members of the Winston family. From Ms Winston who was the head of the family down to the lowest member of the family. Each of them had frowns of displeasure in their face as they walked down to where August and Caroline were.In total, there were twenty of them. The cars they came with couldn’t fit into the house, so some had to park outside.“Caroline and August, you both outside?” Ms Winston said as she stood in front while he other family member stood behind her back. “Rachel, you are outside too.” She lifted her head towards the door while Rachel walked down to greet her.“Mother, I didn’t know you were coming. And with everyone?” Rachel was tense as she spoke. Having so many family members come to the house meant one thing. Something serious had happened.“And who do you think is the cause? Your son has been locked up in prison after he was beaten to a pulp but this brute.” Ms Winston sneered before h

    The words were like a bomb, but only to August and Caroline's ears. As for the others, they were more than pleased to hear such a thing from Ms Winston. It was more like they had been waiting for it to happen since they were the ones who instigated her into it.Besides, everyone wanted to get rid of him, so the feeling was general among them.“No! You can't do that. He is my husband, how can you banish him?” Caroline's eyes widened as she snapped, unable to take it.“And It's because he is your husband that's why he has been banished. Since he feels he can do what he pleases, we don't want him anymore in this family nor our house.” Ms Winston finalized, her eyes portraying a deadly glint.Hearing this, Rachel couldn't hide her happiness. She quickly stepped forward to persuade Caroline and have her view things the way she did.“Caroline, this is better. Your grandmother and everyone have made sure to come up with this because they know it's the best for you. They want to look out for

    While Caroline was in her room crying, her family members seemed to have concluded what their next move would be. They all came into an agreement and thereafter, everyone drove away heading back to the main Winston villa. Rachel on the other hand, rushed towards Ms Winston to ask what had been bothering her.“Where is Mark? How is he?” Her eyes held so much emotion as she asked. “Why don't you go and see for yourself? He is back at home. A doctor has been invited to treat him there.” Ms Winston sneered before turning to the exit, obviously still angry at Rachel.However, after taking a few steps, she stopped and turned towards her.“Make sure to return the car key to him. Perhaps have someone deliver the car back to his house.” She added and with that, she left.Rachel nodded, having no complaints about that as after all she was thinking the same thing. She turned towards Ezra and Ayden, “Be with her at all times okay?” She instructed, and after they had nodded in confirmation, she

    The door was pushed open, and Ayden walked in with a slim woman in a casual suit. Her name was Lisa, the receptionist in the company. When she came earlier, the door was locked, and also the security told her that the chairman had come in last night. When she told Ayden, he was stunned. What must have brought August to the company so late yesterday? Does this mean there was an issue, or perhaps he came here for something else? He thought.His heart began to thump loudly in his chest. He felt he must have gotten himself in big trouble again.He swiped the door and walked in to find August seated on the couch. The look on his face was evident that he was just waking up from sleep. Lisa and Ayden were able to confirm that indeed August was here, but what was surprising was the thought of him sleeping here in the office.“Good morning boss.” Ayden greeted quickly.“Good morning Mr. Chairman.” Lisa bowed a little as she greeted.Raising his brows at them, August greeted. “Morning.” Then h

    The man was Nathaniel, the chairman of moonlight corporation. After he had concluded on what to do in a meeting with the shareholders of his company, he came here to meet August to make sure he agreed to his demands, or else he might wage war against him.“And you are?” He asked, staring at August with a hint of doubt in his eyes. The way he was dressed wasn't as flashy as how people of high status usually dressed. If Nathaniel could guess, he might assume August was merely a cleaner or a bodyguard.“Do you dare to know who I am?” August was done with his cufflinks and he walked over to the desk and sat on the table beside it. His eyes lifted towards Nathaniel and he asked.“You can't come to my company and bark like a dog. Tell me, what do you want?” He asked, without taking him seriously.Nathaniel felt like his heart was being chiseled out of his chest. August didn't have regard for elderly people such as him and didn't even stand up to receive him even after what he had done, and

    Thud!Nathaniel's heart sank to the rock bottom. August's words didn't sound like he was just putting up airs but instead, it was clear that he was going to act, and the outcome would put Nathaniel at a disadvantage.Just then, he remembered how Jason's leg was broken beyond repair. If such a thing was to happen to him then indeed his life would become miserable. But then, when he remembered the men who were behind him, his ego came back up.“I will take my leave now. But don't you dare say I didn't warn you! You brought this upon yourself for what you have done. After I am done with you, I'll attack your wife's company. Let's see how you can take that.” Nathaniel said and stood up about to walk off without noticing the change in August's expression.He might not react much when his company was threatened but when it came to his wife, Caroline, he wouldn't even tolerate the mere utterance of it.Swoosh!Like a gust of wind, August was all over Nathaniel choking his neck as he lifted h

    Meanwhile, standing on the lonely street of North Sub, around an abandoned warehouse, David was staring down at a body that had so many cuts on him. It was Gabriel. Someone killed him brutally just to send a message.Worst of all, they used his phone to text David just so he could come and find such a terrible sight. However, David didn't need anyone to tell him before knowing the reason for all this.Days ago, August had invited Gabriel over again to help find the Qi vein, a massive source of Qi so he could cultivate in and get his powers back. Though Gabriel seemed to be progressing, as a result, he was found by August's enemies and killed because they didn't want the location of the Qi to be revealed.Indeed, they feared for his powers to return as they knew that there wouldn't be a place they would hide in that he wouldn't be able to find them. Also, there wouldn't be anyone that could protect them from him.Shortly after he sent the address to August, he stood by the side waiting

    “How dare you! August Reed, don't push your limit. I don't always have a good temper!” Peter couldn't hold it in anymore. Seeing that smug expression, how he was mocking him and didn't even feel anything for what he had done was making him madder.His only son would have died. If such would have happened, who would be the one to supersede him? Should he adopt a child or what? The more he thought about it, the angrier he was becoming.“Are you hurt? Are you angry? That's exactly what I have been feeling for years. You planned my demise and you expect me to go easy on you? Who does that.” August said with a playful smirk on his lips.“Now let's get to the point. Give me names and also sign off all your property to me.” He added, staring coldly at him.“And why should I sign it off to you? I only took money but nothing else. If you want, I can write you a check for five hundred million so you can leave.” Peter replied, creasing his brows at him.“Five hundred million? Indeed you are bol

    Meanwhile, just then, August arrived at the company with David. Both of them were still inside the car when they craned their head to look at the tall building before them.As the name implies, it was a tall sleek building with several floors. The name was boldly carved in front with an explicit craftsmanship. As for the refinery, it was located behind the tall building.Besides that was of no concern to him. Who he had business with was in this building and on the top floor. That was where he was going to go to settle scores.“Let's go,” August said before hopping down while David followed. Both of them approached the entrance and got in. Immediately, they became the subject of attention but none of them cared.Just then, August felt a compelling aura coming from the top. He didn't expect this to be easy after all. Peter Derrick might be waiting for him already or even set traps. This made his lips curl into a smirk, and he looked to the side to David. Both of them exchanged glances

  • Meeting one of the council members

    She moved closer, pressing herself into him as she squealed in excitement. August didn't complain as rather he was enjoying it and also, the feeling of seeing her happy was a thing to kill for.“Sorry.” Her face flushed hard, and she pulled off after realizing she was squeezing him too tightly.“It's fine. Don't forget that you have to go to work.” He reminded them and watched her nod her head in agreement. “I will see you when I get back.” she placed a kiss on his cheek before turning and hurrying towards the car. As she got closer, she couldn't help but examine its features.After all, it was a BMW. A car known for its powerful performance, sleek design, and advanced technology. It offered a comfortable and premium driving experience, with innovative features and a reputation for quality. Though she had wanted a car, she never thought of something this expensive and flashy.Rather she would have gone for an Audi as it was a few thousand dollars compared to this one. Quickly, she op

  • Its true?

    The next morning arrived quite fast. August slept in Caroline's room, both of them had been curdling for the entire night, and didn't even realize it was morning not until his phone started buzzing on the side cupboard close to the bed.The sound was so alarming that it didn't only wake August but Caroline too. He yawned and looked at his phone thinking about switching it off for disturbing him but when he brought the screen to his face, he saw it was David calling.Wondering what it must be about, he picked it up.“You do know that it's too early right?” He grumbled.“Early? Have you checked the time? It's already ten o'clock. Or don't tell me you are curdling with your wife so much that you don't want to wake up?” David teased. The phone was on a loudspeaker so Caroline heard it all. Her face flushed and quickly, she scurried off to the bathroom.August smiled before returning his attention to the phone. “What's wrong? Talk to me?” He spoke.“This is good news and might be consider

    “Do you think you have subdued me? Are you sure about that?” Sniper said, his lip curled up. Even as he was pinned on the floor, it felt like he still had the situation under his control. August had a hunch. He looked around trying to pinpoint where the danger might be coming from when Sniper pulled out a small device from his mouth and threw it onto the floor.Bloom!Next thing, there was smoke everywhere. The smoke was foggy but what's more, it seemed to be hot to the eyes. Before August could close his eyes, a bit of the smoke had gotten in and now the effect was taking place.“What's this? Pepper powder or what?” August winched in pain but just then, Sniper was able to use the opportunity to his advantage. August wasn't as strong as he was before, so all Sniper did was force his hand out of his grip, and then he quickly turned to face August, thereby pushing him off.This made August stagger to the back. The substance in his eyes was still hurting, and he had yet to overcome it

    Gulp!Richard choked, and his mouth turned sour as the content went right in. His eyes palpitated, and he quickly wanted to spill it out, but August had already crouched down and held his throat. His fingers wrapped around his neck were like iron claws, forcing him in place.“Swallow it.” He ordered. His voice held a hint of threat, one that signified he was going to crush his throat if he didn't swallow it.“Plea–” Richard wanted to beg but as a result, the venom was able to slip down his throat.Seeing this, August pulled away smiling. “Now this is a final warning. If you survive today, eventually, and come after me, I will kill you. Read my lips, I am going to kill you.” He said, and with that, he walked towards the door and left.“Help, someone help.” Richard's entire body began to burn up. The venom was taking effect in his system, and soon he was going to die. He knew this. After all, he handpicked this venom due to how fast it worked just so he could test it out on August.But

  • But, I will die

    “Be a good boy and open your mouth so I can empty this venom inside.” The man in suit turned towards August grinning as he spoke, taking him like a fool and someone who would easily be forced to do something out of fear. All fifteen men gathered stepped forward and were facing him. There was no way he would dare to say he wouldn't do as he was told.“Be fast. We staked a lot of money on you. Or do you want us to pin you on the floor and feed the poison to you by force?” Another man asked while the others began to chuckle.“I'll give you a chance. Give that venom to Richard over there, and then I might let you live.” August said with a deadly aura that seized the tension in the air. The men shuddered looking into his eyes that was like a void but soon after, they were quick to shrug the feeling off. “What are you doing? Attack him at once.” Richard bellowed from behind as he was so eager to see August jerking on the floor and then dying while he laughed at him.“Okay, boss.” The men
