“Don’t tell me you’re delaying his punishment?” Roberto nudged Jake who was quietly massaging his cheeks.

“Get him up!” Jake commanded, his gaze hardened.

The guards pulled Adam up on his feet, as they looked him up and down. “Isn’t this the good for nothing that won the scholarship last year?” Gerald gasped.

“Of course! How else could a haggard looking guy afford to attend West-Borough International College?” Daisy scoffed derisively at him.

“I don’t want that good for nothing near me, take him out and beat the crap out of him!” Jake ordered.

“Let me go!” Adam screamed, trying to struggle against the guards’ iron grips.

Daisy pulled April out of the way and slapped Adam again. “What do you think you’re doing?” That moment, she conveyed all the hatred she had for him into his eyes.

Adam knew Daisy saw him as a stumbling block for April as he was always the one preventing her from going fully astray. Once, Daisy offered him a substantial amount of money to leave her alone, but he’d refu

    "No, No. That's impossible!" Felix scoffed when he heard Philip's side of the story."The police told me you got promoted after investigating and turning in the fake report about it company!""By Police, you mean inspector Charles?" Philip asked him. "That bastard was driven by envy to set me up and heap a lot of false allegations against me! He turned the while station against me that had to flee for my safety!""Believe me, Felix. While you were out fighting for your company, I was actually fighting for my life!"Felix stared at his old friend for a while before taking in a deep breath and looking away. "This Charles, where is he right now?"Philip clenched his fists at the thought of his nemesis. "Serving as the deputy inspector and still corrupting the Police force with his evils! He was one of the people that forged the document presented at Walters Corporations recently!""What?" Isaac suddenly butted in. "A member of the police aided in forgery? What the heck has the police do

    Isaac’s eyes darkened tremendously as he gazed into his son’s fierce eyes. “A…Are you threatening me right now?”“Take it however you like, old man. Answer my question already, I don’t have all day!” Felix smiled bitterly. As he said this, he retrieved his phone and almost immediately, a recording was playing.Isaac’s heart palpitated as he heard himself from 15 years ago, gearing Williams on when he started turning into a cruel kid.He swallowed hard, his fearful gaze zeroed in on the man in front of him. “Y…You can’t betray your father like this!”“Who says I can’t?” Felix let out a mocking laughter. “Did my own father consider me when he was making bad decisions?”The old man stumbled back on trembling legs and fell on the sofa, his eyes reflecting fear and angst.“Dad, please.” Adam had to jump in at this point. “We can talk this out. We should all be on the same team, not working against each other.”“You tell that to your grandfather, is he ready to work with us and stop hiding

  • 116: Tell the Truth, Isaac!

    "You can come in." Adam said to the person at the door. Isaac picked up his napkin to wipe his lips when his hands froze. "S...Son?"Starting back at him was his very own beloved son, Felix Walters. "Father," Felix growled in disdain, his face hard as he took a few steps forward. "S...Son, you're awake?" Isaac's eyes was still wide with shock. He stumbled up in an attempt to reach out and touch his son. "After 9 months, you're finally awake!""And you have a lot of explaining to do!" Felix grabbed his hands, stepping away from his touch. He glanced around the huge hall, his face getting colder. "I can see you you've been having a good time while I lay unconscious.""Son, you can't say that." Isaac muttered, pain in his voice. "Do you have an idea how I torture myself to sleep every night? My nightmare are plagued by regrets and agony. If I didn't throw you out when you came running back for my help, you wouldn't be in that condition, your wife would still be alive and your childr

  • 115: Time to Meet Isaac Walters!

    Seraphina stared at Adam like he’d grown two heads. “What the hell is this freak doing here anyway?” She turned to ask her mother. “Too bad you don’t appreciate good business advices.” Adam shook his head in pity. “Anyway, I’m here to see the document you claimed I sign to hand over my Mall to you.” “You’re kidding, Adam.” Seraphina laughed. “Even if you saw it, what are you going to about it, we have submitted the letter to the Ministry of works and it passed through the due process. Challenging them is like challenging the Governor himself.” “Leave this deluded man, come tell me what Mr Brooklyn wanted!” Lori waved him off like a stray dog. She managed to drag Seraphina into a more private area. Adam ignored them, heading back to the main hall. The leader of the goons who had managed to get up despite his sprained his ankle. He grabbed the man by the hair. “Where did your Boss keep the safe for important documents?” The man shook his fists angrily. “Don’t touch me, you-“ he was

    After ascertaining the same set of report from Jude as well, Adam also worked him some money after getting off the call. "I heard she'll be at the Mall tomorrow morning, I'll be visiting to warn her to back off." He said so calmly that Cleo paused her hands on the new bandage she was wrapping around Holton's head. "And what has your threats accomplished during the past few months?" She placed her hands on her waist, glaring at him. "Nothing! Absolutely nothing!" "I don't intend to argue with you. Just wait and watch what will happen." Adam said and spun around. "I'll also visit those useless people, but not with you." Cleo muttered, returning back to the bandage. Adam got into his room and placed a call to Barry. "I have a huge job for you." "As long as the pay is fat as well." Barry laughed. "Money is not an issue, I just found out the 4 set of people that are meant to judge the Annual Prestigious Family Awards. Look into them and give me feedback by tomorrow morning." "A

    "So you're saying I can't see my friend right now to clarify the issues between us?" Philip asked, his voice grave. "I get how you feel, uncomfortable cause of the kind of hatred your friend is showing towards you due to a misunderstanding, but please we have to be cautious." Adam explained seriously. "My father just woke up from coma and we cannot afford to be taking too much risks right now!" Adam didn't care if he came off as harsh. He really had to make sure it sank into this man's head. He knew how stubborn and impulsive Philip could be, same with his father Felix. "Alright. I've heard you. I'll try to avoid the confrontation for now." Philip replied and disconnected the call. "Why was he unable to reach you?" Richard asked as Adam returned the phone. "Don't tell me you directed his calls to voicemail?" Adam looked away in guilt, "what could I have done? I need to avoid speaking to him until my father is better." Richard nodded, parting his shoulders. "Dinner or later, th
