“Dad, what are you doing? He’s only the delivery guy that married into Henry Weston’s family, not worth the trash he delivers.” Frank exclaimed, seeing his father kneeling in front of Blake.‘My God, this boy’s mentality is not right. Why would I be kneeling if he was some trash off the street? He must have gotten his smarts from his good-for-nothing mother.’ Thought James as he grabbed both boys’ arms and pulled them down to kneel.Paul complied without any restraint, but Frank resisted his father’s pulling for him to kneel.“Have you gone senile? Why are you pulling me? I will never bow down to a trash delivery man!” Frank exclaimed as he pulled his arm away from his father’s.“Frank Collin, if you want to live to see tomorrow, you will kneel this instant. He’s Elon Trust’s CEO and the Serum Syndicate’s benefactor!” James yelled at his son.Frank didn’t know what to do. His mind went blank with this information. Why was a lowly delivery guy the CEO of Elon Trust and benefactor of th
“Father! Why am I being exiled from the family?” Frank Collin was kneeling in front of his father, and his mother was crying beside him after hearing from her husband that her son was being sent abroad for education without family support. He had to survive as a pauper among strangers, and his only support would be his housing.“Honey, how can we send my baby without our support?” Mrs. Collin cried beside her son.“Your baby almost destroyed our family by insulting the Elon family, Syrum Syndicate, and Elon Trust! You are lucky that he has only this punishment, or you would be watching him be ground for fish food right now, awaiting your turn.” Said James to his wife, pointing at her as the realization finally sunk in.“Where is Paul? Is he coming with me?” Frank finally asked, thinking that it wouldn’t be too bad if he had to share his punishment with his brother.“He’s getting ready for a construction job with Lotus Suits tomorrow. He will not be accompanying you abroad.” James said
Astonished over what had occurred, Blake only stared in the direction that Tabby had left. He found he was actually at peek spirit Qi which expanded his golden core. Duel Cultivation was indeed a godsend for him. How long would it have taken him to get to this point without her help? A day, a week, more likely a month, but she accomplished it within one night, and she didn’t seem to be lacking when she left.Blake decided to try his skill of Shadow Sword. He guided his Qi into his hand and formed a sword that solidified in his hand. He then started his training in sword fighting with his new sword Qi.‘I wonder how powerful the Shadow Qi is?’Blake then guided Qi more through his hand into his sword and swung it out towards a bolder. A curved blade shot out of the sword and landed on the bolder, splitting it into two with a smooth-cut surface. He then commenced throwing multiple sword blades and only stopped when he felt low in his Qi.For the next month, he practiced his Quick-Step,
When the trio arrived, Blake immediately entered the kitchen as the two entered the living room, waiting for their meal. A strong aroma of Blake’s cooking awakened Claire, and a smile came across her face. Never admitting that her craving for his meals was overwhelming with her desiring his meals every day. Being alone in the home, she had leisurely put on a revealing black babydoll and matching panties the night before watching a romantic movie to make herself feel sexy, pretending to be the woman in the movie. Claire got out of bed and reached over to grab her bathrobe to cover herself when an idea struck her, and a sly smile came across her face.‘With all these beautiful women around him daily, I wonder what his reaction towards me wearing this would be?’ Thought Claire as she left the room.Blake had almost finished the meals and came out of the kitchen holding onto the plates to prepare the table when he was met with Claire stretching her arms over her head as if she had just aw
They all rushed into the kitchen, following him, berating him with questions.“What? Murder?” Claire was shocked.“When did this happen?” Sylvia asked.“Brother, are you okay?” Tabitha asked, showing concern.“Mr. Wilson was found by the river murdered yesterday, and I was the last person to see him alive. Two police officers wanted me to confess and used unlawful tactics to coerce a confession until Mrs. Wilson’s lawyer arrived and charged them with assault, and they are under investigation. Jill escorted me to the hospital yesterday.” Blake said as if it was nothing and continued washing the dishes and picking them up.Tabitha quickly went and hugged him from behind to give him comfort. As the other two held onto their own, not knowing what to do. When all three wanted to show him comfort.Blake turned around, patted her head, and smiled at the other two.“It’s fine. It was only a little swelling of the face. They didn’t want it to escalate further, and the police chief also apologi
“It’s my impression that you, Weaster, were the one who officially refused Claire’s proposal?”George asked.“CEO, Weston. The board and I found that Miss Dalton’s proposal was lacking in the major departments and would have only insulted this facility and declined her proposal.” Mr. Sleizer replied, looking a Henry to see his approval.“Is that so? Could you enlighten this old man on what major departments Claire’s proposal lacked that would warrant your cancelation of the whole proposal instead of correcting and resubmitting?” George asked.“Sir, it’s not my department to counsel Miss. Dalton on her proposal.” Mr. Sleizer replied nervously, looking at Henry for some support.“Grandfather, regardless of the board’s decision, the matter is that it was lacking and therefore canceled.” Henry chimed in to help Mr. Sleizer.“Weaster, you believe you made the right call to cancel the proposal?” Asked George looking at Mr. Sleizer, ignoring Henry. “Mind you; actions have consequences.”‘What
Henry sat there speechless as all his planning had been for nothing. His cousin was not kicked out of the company nor the family, and she was now being promoted and honored by their grandfather. Her standing will be higher than his. When his spirits were at an all-time low, a silver lining appeared when John arrived back into the room.“Miss Dalton, an altercation at Elon Trust could affect the investment. If you don’t mind, we will report back to discuss this.” John stated and retrieved the investment contract from George.Lacking the final seals, it was only an agreement and not finalized. So George reluctantly released the papers back to John.“Cousin, you should have read the entire contract. If you would have been as meticulously in the marriage contract as in this one, why would there be a problem now?” Henry stated as he smiled at her, relieved that there was a problem and his hope soared.Claire could only scour as John led her out of the room. Quinton couldn’t hold it any lon
“Wheel the monitor into the conference room, and we will be doing it incognito,” Blake replied, smiling.When she called, Sylvia requested that John send Claire and the investment contract back to Elon Trust. While the representative waited in the conference room, he lost his patience and sat there shaking his foot over his leg. Soon a monitor had arrived and was connected and then turned on. Without another word, the staff left the room. The blank monitor then showed a blank screen with the company logo on it.“I understand that Global Entertainment has an interesting investment presentation, and I wonder if you would be so kind as to present it to me.” A voice from the monitor said. Blake needed to postpone to give Claire time to return.“Who am I addressing?” The representative asked before proceeding.“We’re here to discuss the investment, not to get acquainted. After today we will probably not meet again, so let me begin with the presentation, for my time is precious.” Blake repl
