Chapter 10: The Unbelievable Outcome.
"As for Jackson," Martin said and paused again, sweeping his gaze across the table. Everyone was almost at the edge of their seat, waiting patiently for him to call out the numbers, except Lucifer, who was calmly sitting there with an indifferent look on his face."Jackson got ten votes as well," Martin finally spoke. The room became deadly silent. Everyone was stunned. Some had their eyes popping out of their sockets, while some had their mouths wide open. They knew something was wrong, and it shouldn't have ended in a draw."It doesn't make sense, at least I'm sure we are more than twenty here," Mr. Arnold said, and everyone began to look around as the room broke into whispers."Who didn't vote?""I thought everyone voted. What's wrong?"People continued to whisper to themselves."Mrs. Whitlock, you're one of the important figures in this company, and yet you haven't said much today. I guess it's time you cast your vote so we could end this once and for all," Mr. Briggs suddenly sai
Chapter 9: Power Struggle
The air in the meeting room was so tense that some Board Advisors didn’t dare to breathe properly. A few shifted in their seats while others avoided eye contact, as if even looking up might drag them into trouble. As Lucifer walked into the boardroom, all attention turned towards him. Both hostile, calm, and disgusted gazes were piercing straight at him. Lucifer smiled like a joker, unfazed by the hostile gazes. As he approached the table, James walked in with a chair and positioned it behind him. Lucifer quietly sat down in front of everyone without batting an eye and calmly crossed his legs. "Lucifer, we have been waiting for you, and you're meant to be at the chairman's seat," Martin said. "I thought we are here to choose the new chairman? So why should I take the seat while I haven't been confirmed as one?" Lucifer said calmly as he observed everyone. He noticed his stepbrother staring at him with hatred in his eyes. Lucifer winked at him before shifting his attention back to
Chapter 8: Bored room war
Early morning in the Whitlock villa parking lot. There were lots of sparkling, beautiful cars parked in rows on either side of the garage.Butler Roman stood quietly beside a sleek black car with sharp edges. Soon, Martin arrived in the parking lot dressed in a sharp black suit."Good morning, sir," Roman greeted with a slight bow.Martin nodded in response and looked around as if searching for the others. Right then, Anabel and Jackson arrived.Anabel was dressed in a beautiful red dress that stopped just above her knees, leaving her neckline exposed.Martin stared at her for a while and smiled. Anabel, noticing his gaze, smiled awkwardly in return. Jackson, on the other hand, had a poker face, not paying attention to anyone around."Where is Lucifer?" Martin asked, his gaze shifting from Anabel to Roman."Maybe Master Lucifer is still getting ready," Roman answered.Martin glanced at his wristwatch, and his face turned ugly."We are already running late. What exactly is he doing? Is
Chapter 7: Desperate Stepbrother
"It's not like that, Jackson. You're my son; of course, I would always prioritize you over anyone else. But this matter is delicate at this point, so you have to be patient," Anabel tried to calm him down."I still don't get it. You said you prioritize me, but you're trying to hand over what belongs to me to someone else. I worked so hard with dad and finally brought that company to the stage where it is today. Where was Lucifer? And uncle was even doing barely enough for the company back then," Jackson said, almost tearing up."I understand all this, Jackson. It's just not yet the right time, and can't you read the handwriting on the wall?" Anabel said with a worried look on her face as she took a step forward, reaching out her hand to hold him. But Jackson took a step back, avoiding her hand that was about to hold him.Jackson stared at his mother for a while before nodding his head with a complicated expression on his face. "Fine, but I'm not interested in reading any handwriting,
Chapter 6: The Intruder (2)
Soon, an alarm began to ring in the villa, alerting everyone.Lucifer arrived at the back of the mansion. He brought out the brown rope he used earlier, and threw it towards the balcony."Clang!"The iron hook on the rope hooked onto the metal pole of the second-floor balcony.Lucifer quickly pulled himself up and jumped onto the balcony. He took the rope and followed through the back door, and sneaked into the house.Right then, the security guards arrived at the back of the mansion, but they couldn't find anyone around. They began to search the whole mansion, looking for the intruder, but Lucifer was long gone.As Lucifer got into the mansion through the second floor, he made his way towards the stairs, heading to his room on the third floor. Just as he was about to climb the stairs, he heard footsteps coming in his direction. He stopped and quickly looked around, searching for a place to hide.He removed the black cloth covering his face and put it inside the small black bag he was
Chapter 5: The Intruder
'I think I need to check the villa first and see if there is any possibility of him being hidden somewhere here.'Lucifer stood up and walked towards his wardrobe, his sharp gaze scanning his clothes hanging neatly on the stands. His gaze finally paused on a black long coat. He picked the coat and one other black shirt.Lucifer quickly threw on the black coat and used the extra shirt to tie over his face—leaving only his two eyes visible, like a ninja.Once he was done, he took a step towards the door but suddenly stopped.'Might bump into someone.'He turned back to the wardrobe and grabbed a small bag hanging at the edge of the furniture before turning towards the window this time.He opened the bag and brought out a long brown rope, with a hook at one end.He opened the window quietly and looked down from the second floor, confirming that no one was there. He hooked the rope by the window frame and threw down the rest of it. Then he brought out a thick black belt from the bag. He t
