“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
“What the hell are you doing? Get the hell out!” Mr. Trever scolded the woman as she fearfully got out from under his desk and tucked his shirt back into his pants.“What are you standing there for? Get me to Elon Trust now!” Mr. Trever continued as he began to leave his office.As Mr. Trever of Global Entertainment was hurrying over to Elon Trust at the hospital, the three men unconscious are being monitored by a group of doctors discussing this unusual condition. The men seem to be asleep with all brain functions but do not awaken. A policeman is protecting them at the door, and no one other than staff and police is to enter. Unknown to them a skilled assassin pretends to be an orderly, injects them with poison, and skillfully kills the three within three days.Mr. Zedford, Claire, Mr. Wheaton, and Sylvia were in the conference room with the monitor still displaying the company logo and a timer displaying a countdown. Blake didn’t want to say too much, being there was no voice filte
Seeing that she would not get anywhere with Sylvia, she stayed quiet for the rest of the trip, muddling through her thoughts.‘I know I’ve heard that voice before, but I can’t seem to place it. Could it have been Blake? Don’t be naive, girl. It’s probably because he’s from the same family as Blake. Sigh, at least we got our investments, and not to mention I received thirty million and twenty percent in Global Entertainment. Altho, she had to wait till next week to finalize. I can’t believe that I acquired this all because of the CEO of Elon Trust. Who is he to have given me this type of gift? If I didn’t know any better, I would have guessed that he was into me, but I heard he was already married. Could it be a betrothal gift from him for marrying Blake into his family?’Before Claire could ponder upon it, they had arrived at Dynasty Entertainment, and the two ladies left the limo and entered to finalize the contract. Entering George Weston’s office, they sealed the deal, and from the
“Maybe you two should get your robes,” Blake said behind the door, trying to compose himself.“it’s too warm for our robes. Just serve the meal, Blake, so that we can eat.” Claire said, half giggling.“Who won?” Tabitha asked in a whisper.“We both did. It’s a tie.” Claire whispered back.Blake stood there holding onto their meal and tried to calm himself again. ‘What’s up with them tonight? Not that I’m complaining, but, dam, what’s a man to do? I’m only human. Okay. Calm the mind, and the body will follow.’Blake meditated quickly, calmed himself, and only then walked in, placed the food on the table, and sat in his regular place, trying to ignore the two sisters sitting before him.The meal went without words, and the only sound came from their eating utensils. Blake tried to focus on his meal and not look at the two sisters. Now and then, the two sisters would look at one another and smile knowingly.“Blake dear, you don’t look too well. Are you sure you are not overworking yours
Claire and Tabitha continued to watch a romantic movie and talked briefly about the movie’s actors and plot until it finished. The two sisters went back to the room and got ready for bed.“Why don’t you go over to mother’s room and get some sleep? She’s not going to be here for the time being.” Claire brushed her hair at the vanity while Tabitha was sitting on the bed doing the same.“Why? Are you trying to get rid of me? Maybe sister wants to handle up on some private time after seeing Blake’s body?” Tabitha teased.“Where did that come from? I thought it would be more comfortable for you to have your own bed.” Claire explained when she turned around and faced Tabitha’s big smile.“I don’t want to burden Blake with preparing an extra bed being made in the morning. Besides, I like sleeping with big sis.” Tabitha giggled.“Well, if you’re comfortable, then it’s okay,” Claire said, turning back to her mirror and continuing to brush her hair.“Speaking of Blake, how did you feel seeing h
Claire and Tabitha both awoke to the aroma of breakfast being prepared. The two sisters donning robes, entered the dining room with Blake coming from the kitchen, holding onto the food to be laid on the table. He smiled at the two and reentered the kitchen to finish bringing the rest of their meal.“Thank God it’s Friday,” Claire said, sitting at the table to start her meal.“It’s been a rough week since I’ve come visit, hasn’t it, sister?” Tabitha replied, also sitting thinking of what had changed her life. She became a living spirit vessel for Blake, his adopted sister, and became heiress to the Elon family, with power and wealth to go with the title. She rediscovered her twin sister’s soul that had been dormant within herself. Started to cultivate becoming an immortal, and she became the lover of Sylvia Elon, Blake’s cousin. It had been a tiring week when she reflected on all that had befallen her.“It has been an interesting week, and I’m glad it’s finally over,” Claire said, thin
When the rest of the children left, only Blake was in his seat, and Miss. Price was behind her desk looking at the work they had submitted for the day. Blake patiently waited while Miss. Price looked over some of the work, then placed the papers down and looked at the youth in front of her sternly.“Blake, Elon.” Miss. Price said rather coldly.“Yes. Miss. Price?” Blake asked.“It’s come to my attention that you are to commence in a fight after school?”“No, Miss. Price.” Blake replied, making her eye twitch that he would lie in front of her so blatantly.“Are you lying? It’s been traveling in the school that Jerold has challenged you behind the gym. Are you denying this?” Miss. Price asked.“No. Miss Price. It’s as it’s been said. Jerold does want to fight behind the gym.” Blake said.“Then why lie and tell me no when I asked you.” Miss Price asked, flustered over the conversation.“I replied to your question about whether I was going to fight. I replied no because I had no intention
Gloria frowned and was about to move to help Blake with her wind powers.“Stop! What are you doing? We are in school.” Blake stopped Gloria.“What? I wanted to help you dust off.” Gloria said, pouting her displeasure at him stopping her.“Not in school. We can’t show our powers so easily. Jerold is already calling us freaks.” Blake said, looking sternly at her.“Hey, what’s the hold-up? I’m hungry.” A voice came behind them, and a young boy with brown hair and almost the same features as Blake arrived, along with another girl with long black hair.“That’s all you ever think of is food, Kyle,” Gloria said. “Blake was bullied again.”“Isn’t that the third time this week?” Lacey asked with a soft voice.“Fourth, if you include what he did in class by tripping Blake when he went to do the math problem,” Olivia stated.“Come on, let’s go and eat,” Blake said as he led the four others into the school cafeteria line.While they were waiting, Olivia inched her way closer to Blake. “Are you co
“I’ll be staying here as well,” Maia said with a gleam in her eye.“I don’t want you to go and do anything foolish.” Blake Prime said.“Don’t worry. I’ll watch her and the rest of the family well.” Blake three stated.“I’ll be returning to the Small World and increase my cultivation. The Syrum Syndicate has finally stabilized, and I can focus on my training.” Dynasty replied.“I can’t leave and need to tend to the baby, but Nancy, you should go into the Small World at least and continue cultivating,” Koran said, looking at Nancy, who had always stayed by her side.“No need. When you give birth, we will continue.” Nancy replied, looking like it didn’t matter whether she needed to cultivate or not.“I will return to the Small World as well.” Kelly Wheaton proclaimed, not giving a reason.“I’ll be following you then as well. I asked for a few days off from the precinct and said I would bring my level up.” Jill said, placing her arm around the youthful girl beside her.Then, all attention
“I’ll speak to Kilgore on this matter,” Jack said, sighing. This would also damage the family’s reputation. Using the Kilgore family and then kicking them out of the family was a great taboo in the Upper Realm. Who would trust such a family?“Talk, talk, talk, just go and kick his sorry ass to the street; I never liked that man, to begin with.” Roseline’s Grandfather stated this with a harumph to emphasize his discontent. “My Roseline was always too good for him.”Roseline sighed in relief. With her Grandfather here, she was surely going to dissolve her marriage to Robertson Kilgore, and then she would be free to pursue Blake with a clear conscience.“Come. Let Grandpa Harold have a look at you.” Grandpa Harold said with a kind smile at his Granddaughter.“Grandpa,” Roseline said, and she arrived before her Grandfather with a girlish smile.“Good, good. You’ve grown in your cultivation, to middle God Lord, not too shy from the peak if I don’t miss my guess.” Grandpa Harold proclaimed
“What? God Lord? Roseline, how could you be God Lord?” Rosleine’s Mother asked, surprised by this fact.“Not only God Lord but middle level. She is only one level under Robertson. How is this possible?” Roseline’s Father asked with suspicion in his eyes. “ Have you been removing the Origin Stones or Crystals without permission?”“Father, what Daughter to you take me as?” Roseline asked, feeling disappointed in her Father. Instead of praising her for her accomplishments, he accused her of stealing. “ You know I’m a Master Formations Master, I utilized an Origin gathering Formation.”Roseline had thought about how to explain her increase to her parents a long time ago when she witnessed Blake creating his Spirit Qi gathering Formation and was able to utilize it here in the Upper Realm. The Gathering Formation had been lost for generations, and no one could directly cultivate the Origin within the Upper Realm.“Impossible. That Formation has been lost for so long. How could you know of s
Roseline continued on her way to her Father’s estate. She wanted to see him and have an audience to discuss the disbandment of the Kilgore and Haven families. Her Father had dotted on her since she was a child. She felt that her Father would take her side after he listened to what Kilgore was doing with the Heavenly Tribulation Formation and his infidelity so bluntly in front of her.Roseline didn’t have to travel far since their home was joined with the Haven family estate, as it was customary in the Upper Realm for the married children to be allowed to live within the family. Passing many servants, she stopped one and inquired where her Father was. She was informed that he was entertaining guests as he had been doing since he retired from the Heavenly Formation task.Thanking the servant, she quickly went to her Father’s entertainment hall. Entering slowly, for she didn’t know who her Father was entertaining at this time, she looked on at the three people in the room.Her Mother was
Kilgore could only bow to the fading statue and reply.“Yes, Master.”When the flaming statue disappeared altogether, Kilgore was able to relax. His Master was more potent than any person he had encountered as a God all his life.“Roseline. I will break your control of the Formation and retake what is rightfully mine.” Kilgore mainly said to himself through clenched teeth and rushed out of his room to confront his wife.It was soon discovered he couldn’t enter Roseline’s room due to the powerful barrier formation surrounding her room. Even if he tried to break it with all his might, it would only deflect it back to him threefold and could cause him more damage. With a huff, he left the area.“Stay in your room, hiding like the turtle you are,” Kilgore said as he was leaving when an aura not much worse than his came to him, making him turn around in surprise.“Did she break through? How? She hasn’t had any cultivation resources lately and has only recently broken through to the peak Go
She was channeling the white energy and discovered that it had already entered her womb and fertilized one of her eggs.“This is all your fault again,” Claire said, slapping Blake Prime consecutively to vent her frustration.“It’s fine; we will handle it. I love you.” Blake Prime said and kissed her passionately, stopping her from continuously slapping him.Feeling Blake’s kiss, she melted into his embrace and knew she had nothing to fear.“She must have planned for you to be delayed in ascending with Blake,” Maia said, turning her head towards the loving couple.“You want to continue?” Blake three asked Maia, who was still on top of him.“As much as I would love to experience what she had, I’m not into having three men at once. I already received what I wanted.” Maia said, placing her hands over her stomach.The other two then looked at Claire, who was hugging Blake Prime. Don’t even think about it. That was all Roseline’s idea. I only went along for the ride and got more than I barg
The two women were chatting as if their time apart had never occurred. Maia explained to Roseline what had happened when she was poisoned by Sister Terrie and how Blake had saved her from the poison with no antidote.“And now the woman is back with you, thinking she is your daughter? What a mysterious way of resolving a known assassin. Reverting them to the point that they never trained to kill you. Blake is truly amazing.” Roseline commented.“How amazing?” Asked the three Blakes, who sounded like stereo. “This amazing?”“Okay, we need not do that.” All three said at once again, making it sound very awkward.Blake Prime looked at them and told the other two to stop talking within his mind.“Now that is settled,” Blake said, turning to the two astonished women on the bed. “Where were we?”“I believe Roseline wanted three at once?” Maia commented with a giggle.“So she did,” Blake said, and the three men approached her.“Be gentle. It’s my first time with three men.” Roseline said soft
