“Cough, I think we should continue our conversation as we eat. I’m sure that is what Mary was to inform us am I right?”“Yes, mam. Dinner is ready.”They followed the maid into the dining room and sat in front of many delicious foods. The meal was silent, and the only thing they heard was their utensils as they ate.“Do you love him?” Claire asked, to break the silence only to have more silence after everyone stopped eating, obviously targeting Dynasty with her question.“Cough, cough, pardon?”“I asked. Do you love him?” Claire asked, this time with more force as she clinched onto her napkin.“What is there not to love? He is like a god coming from the heavens with his physical stature. But not only can his looks make any woman fall for him, but his decisive attitude toward his enemies makes him a mighty opponent, as his kindness towards his family and friends is genuinely astonishing. I really pity the Anderson family, especially Steve Anderson. He and don’t know the hornet nest he’
Still, damp from his swim, Steve returned home, called his father, and explained everything to him. His father was quiet on the other end until he finally spoke.“Didn’t I warn you about pursuing the Dalton woman? I wanted you to focus on Miss. Sylvia Elon? Not only did you insult Miss. Elon, but you made her your enemy by having an extramarital affair with her beloved cousin’s wife! It would have been better if you could have obtained the photos and video, but it was lost and destroyed. Now you have The Syrum Syndicate’s Princess protecting them. What unlucky star you were born under, I do not know.” Mr. Alex Anderson said on the other end.“What do we do now?” Steve asked. “Dad, I don’t want to be fish food.”“Go back to Missouri; run that branch for now. I’ll think of something. It makes perfect sense why Elon Trust is now interested in real estate.” Alex stated, thinking about how they lost the bid.“I’ll leave tonight,” Steve said and got ready to move to Missouri.Another year h
As Blake made his way to Elon Trust, he called Jenkins, renewed the divorce papers, and had him send a thirty million dollar card. Entering the office area Susan Writtle followed him into his office with his schedule.“Sir, I thought you would take a couple of days off?” Susan asked. She was hoping to get off early today.“Just here for a little while to review some notes and wait for a delivery. What is going on today?” Blake asked as she handed the tablet.“The real estate property was acquired with little cost to us,” Susan explained, knowing Blake was eyeing this area.“Okay, any more real estate that comes over, grab it and create a real estate department to handle the development affairs.” Blake then handed her the tablet and began going over his email.Susan left the room to have Sylvia arrive shortly and sat in one of the chairs in front of his desk.“How’s grampa?”“He’s doing fine.”“And yourself?”“He’s not doing fine at all,” Tabby said, coming out of the jade ring.“Tabby
Claire still didn’t take the intimidating card being handed to her, so Blake placed it on the coffee table in front of her like it was nothing to him. He made his way to a chair away from Claire. Julie looked at the card and longed to reach out and grab it, but until Claire accepted the card, she would not dare to take it, so she sat beside Claire for support.Tabitha emerged from the kitchen with a burger in one hand and fries in the other. Seeing the situation Sat at the table and began to eat as if it didn’t concern her. Blake looked at Tabitha, there eating and smiled. Julie thought Blake smiled at Claire and felt more at ease with him.“Blake, as you can see, Claire is very remorseful over what happened. Can you see it in your heart to forgive her this one time? Also, I want to thank you for saving me in Vegas and for the gift.” Julie said, lifting her wrist to show that she still wore the diamond bracelet.When she mentioned the bracelet, Claire unconsciously placed her fingers
“What’s all the commotion?”“Blake’s watching the football game,” Tabitha answered.“I didn’t know that he liked football.” She replied.“There’s a lot that you don’t know about me. It bothers me that you didn’t ask about my family or me. You were never interested in me. I know everything about you, Claire. Your favorite makeup, shows you watch, and foods you love and hate. Where do you get off saying you didn’t know something about me?”“Well, maybe I’m interested in you now. Why don’t we get to know Blake Elon.” Claire said, a little upset about being lectured by Blake.“What do you want to know? I’ll let you in on a little secret. I never have or will lie to you.” Blake said, rising from the couch. “What do you want to know?”Claire looked at Blake, and Tabitha was astonished at Blake’s demeanor. Was he going to confess that he is the heir and CEO of Elon Trust?“Who is the CEO of Elon Trust? Have I met him?” Was Claire’s first question. She had been wondering why someone as powerf
“Julie, you never gave me a chance. All you saw in me was a lowly delivery guy who wouldn’t amount to anything. Even when I got a business under my name, you looked down on me, saying that I would be bankrupt, and don’t think that I don’t know that you’ve wanted me to give half of the business to Claire. I’ll let you in on a little secret. Elon Trust will always own all businesses owned by Elon Trust, and I only receive the profits, not the business.” Blake said, sitting back down.Julie stayed quiet, and she couldn’t refute what he had said. So, her anger subsided.“Claire, you’ve been awfully quiet this whole time care to share your thoughts?” Blake asked, looking at Claire.“Sigh. You are right, Blake. Mother and I have schemed to take your business away from you, mostly mother, I didn’t care one way or the other, and we didn’t look to you as an equal or give you a chance to get better. We always took advantage of all your skills. When I thought that you had got those two women pre
“In the economic section, the Elon Conglomerate announced a few days ago that the new CEO will be Jake Elon. Those who know him will surely recognize him from Forbes Magazine as one of the most influential individuals. With him at the company’s helm, we will surely see significant strides in the thriving Conglomerate worldwide.” The commentator stated. “Here are a few words from the new CEO of Elon Conglomerate.”“I’m pleased to announce my position as the new acting CEO official of Elon Conglomerate, with a new restructuring within the company. We will surely increase our interest. Thank you, that will be all.” Jake said behind a podium addressing the masses, and walked away.“They must be in shortage of news. They played this a few days ago. Have you gotten in touch with him since he took over?” Sylvia asked, looking at Blake eating.“No need at this time. Let him get his footing for now. I’ll visit later when I visit my friend and see his progress. We have three more weeks until th
“Maybe, I’m at the second cycle of restructuring my body, and I would have only needed another year’s time with Tabby to cultivate the sixth realm and enter the third and final cycle. How are you two doing in condensing your golden cores?” “With the restricted amount of Qi entering my body, it’s been slow, but I also haven’t had the chance to cultivate with work,” Sylvia stated. “Same for me. With exams and studying, I haven’t been able to find the time.” Tabitha said, allowing her Qi to enter Blake. “We will need to enter the small world and condense your golden cores, then have your tribulations so you can contain the excessive Qi for a longer duration. Also, you can live longer after that step. I would say close to five to eight hundred years, give or take.” “Blake, after you finish your cultivation on the body, how long will you be able to live?” Sylvia asked. “As long as I finish the nine life destruction process, I’ll have approximately a thousand to three thousand years lif
