The receptionist's smirk quickly vanished as Jeremy calmly stood up. He strode over to her, slowly but deliberately. Without a word, he took out his phone, dialed a number, and spoke, "I want to buy the company. Now." It was a bold move but he didn't care. He had enough of people trying to ridicule him, he would prove to them that he wasn't just a scum in their eyes. To do

""Boss?" Sophia frowned, a confused look on her face. "Yes, I have been trying to tell you. Jeremy is the head of the Verde's headquarters." Sophia's eyes widened at the words of her husband and a look of horror covered her face. "Wait... I don't understand.' "It's not that hard to understand, my name is Jeremy and I am the head and CEO of Verde. Nice to meet you!" Jeremy said in a mocking tone. Amy smirked, enjoying the look on the old woman's face. She seemed to Frozen in place, trying to figure out what to do and she loved it. "Um, well. Nice to meet you, officially, Jeremy." She extended her hands for a handshake but Jeremy didn't move to take it even though his mother clearly wanted him to. "Yes, nice indeed." Jeremy said sarcastically and turned to Amy. "Let's go," He said and followed Any out of the lobby. "I didn't realize your son was the head of Verde, Rieda, you'v

"The car is outside, boss." Amy said as she walked into the living room where Jeremy and his mother sat, talking. Jeremy glanced up at Amy and nodded. "We'll be out in a second, thanks Amy," "Of course, sir." Amy nodded and made her way outside to wait for them. "Come on, mom..we gotta go." Jeremy said to his mother and helped her up. They both found their way out of the house and got into the car. They were on their way to Verde's headquarters. Amy had found out about a few things about Reginald as Jeremy had expected. They'd discovered the fact that Reginald not only had ties with the Verde's company but that he was involved in some shady business that had the potential to drag the name of the Verdes in the mud if word got out and he planned on putting a stop to it as soon as possible. There was no concrete evidence yet but there were a lot of things that didn't seem to ad

Jeremy seethed with anger as they left Sophia's mansion. "Mom, how could you tolerate her rudeness?" he demanded, his voice low and urgent. He was surprised he'd even been able to handle her behavior. He'd more than in one occasion wanted to tell her off but decided against it because of his mother but now that he was out of the house, he regretted not saying anything. Reida placed a calming hand on his arm. "That's just how Sophie is. Ignore her. We'll show her who's boss in action. Words are meaningless right now." Jeremy took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "You're right, it's just..." "Don't think too much about it, son." When they arrived at Sophia's mansion earlier, the messenger's announcement had sent Sophia into a flurry. "Oh, I've been waiting to see the Master of Verde," she gushed, her face flushed. "My husband will be thrilled to hear about his arrival." She turned to Jeremy and Reida, her expression dismissive. "You

Jeremy's eyes widened in surprise as Ariel kissed him. He hadn't expected this, especially after everything they'd been through. He gently pushed her away, his heart racing. "Ariel, what are you doing?" Jeremy asked, trying to process his emotions and what had just occurred. He wasn't sure. Ariel's eyes sparkled with tears. "I'm sorry, Jeremy. I was so wrong to doubt you. I love you." She suddenly said, shocking both herself and Jeremy. Jeremy's heart ached, seeing her all teary eyed. He'd not be expecting a kiss let alone from Ariel. He was still in shock and it took him a couple of minutes to even process what to say. He knew he couldn't reciprocate her feelings.. "Ariel, I just wanted to say goodbye. You shouldn't have done this..." He expressed, painfully. Ariel's face fell on hearing that and her cheeks burned in embarrassment. She had not been thinking straight when she'd done that and seeing that Jeremy didn't like t

"Do better Winster!" Jeremy growled. Jeremy walked towards Lancer's grandfather, a calm and collected smile on his face. "You see, gentlemen, you've made a grave mistake," he said, his voice dripping with confidence. "Do you even have any idea who you are messing with? You really think you'd have been able to kill me just like that? A Verde?" Grandpa Winster's eyes widened in shock at the sound of that. "What did you say?" he asked, holding his breath, hoping he'd heard wrong. "You heard me," Jeremy replied. He had half the mind to put a bullet in Lancer's head but he knew that wasn't such a good Idea. He wasn't looking for a mess. "You are definitely not a Verde," Mr Winster mocked. He knew Jeremy was bluffing. "He's telling the truth," Lancer was the one to speak this time. Mr Winster gasped as he looked between his grandson and Jeremy. "You can't be a Verde!" He spat at Jeremy who

Jeremy shoved his phone in his pocket after hanging up on Amy and glared directly at the men pointing guns at him... He'd anticipated this happening and he was disappointed that they'd actually chosen this route but at the same time commended their efforts to get back their son. He guessed it didn't help that they had no idea who he was. The only person that knew him was Lancer and he was currently holding a knife against his neck. "Before you are able to fire your guns, your precious grandson will have his guts spilling down from his throat. Do you want that?" He asked with a self assured smirk. Grandpa Winster glared daggers at the Jeremy. Just who the fuck did he think he was? The anger in him was palpable and he was doing his best not to make the wrong decision. He knew if he didn't act fast, his grandson would be dead. "You are bluffing!" He growled, staring daggers at him. "Am I?" Jeremy
