"ABSOLUTELY not! I will never accept this guy to be your husband. You could do better, Latton," Albert angrily yelled. "If you could be with whomever you like, so do I. This is my choice." She screamed back. "You can say whatever you want but Victor and I are already married," She added sarcastically. Startled, Albert angrily stood up and hastily marched away from them. "Dad!" Victor shouted while staring at Albert's back. "Don't call me that," Albert replied, without looking back at them. Victor was about to follow Albert, but Latton held his hand. "Let him be," She remarked. Victor frowned, "He is already so angry he hasn't even heard the other news yet," he mumbled. Latton grins, "Oh, he will know soon." Victor sighed, "You're right. Everything takes time. After we eat, I have a surprise for you," he added. She smiled in excitement. - Meanwhile, Lucian had just finished his lunch-out meeting with a client in the Imperial Mall. He was walking when suddenly one of the clot
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 141 - What If...
JOHN’s jaw drops while listening to Lucian's story. He was so stunned that he couldn't even drink the beer he was holding. He could see his friend was deeply hurt by the turn of events. “Who would have thought this is how their story ends?” John said to himself. “You should be happy for her. She’s married and was about to have a child.” He commented in a low voice. “You don’t understand, John. That should be me. If I found where she was institutionalized. If I stayed in the hospital when he got shot. If I have explained myself to her or if I answered her calls when she woke up. It could have been us.” “Well, it's not and that’s how cruel reality is. You have your chance many times and waste it. Now she has moved on. Based on how you said it, she’s happy and you should too. It’s time for you to let go, Lucian,” John explained. Lucian frowned, “I can’t,” he said to himself. - Meanwhile, at York’s Villa. "The Ripley manor is my home. We should stay there. It’s way bigger than this
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 142 - Lucian’s Girl
“I KNOW you have no plans to return here after the partnership with Caldwell ended. But I badly need your help. Latton won’t listen to me or her mother, but she will listen to you,” Albert remarked. “I’ll talk to her because I miss her, not because you told me to. She’s old enough to make her own decisions,” Lucius replied. Shortly after, Lucius drove to York’s Villa. - Latton was sitting in the gazebo in the middle of the garden reading a magazine when a maid walked towards her, "Madam, you have a visitor waiting for you in the living room," The maid mumbled while her head lowered. She heaves profoundly and closes the magazine she is reading. "A visitor? Who?." She asks curiously. "He said his name was Officer Howard Gilberts." "Well, let him in. I'll talk to him here." She demanded. Soon, the maid ushered the Officer to the gazebo. "Nice to see you again, Officer." She greeted him while extending her hand. Officer H. Gilberts smiled and gladly shook her hand, "I'm happy to
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 143 - Mrs. York
AFTER 6 months of investigation, countless interviews, and dead-end evidence, LAPD Officers H. Gilberts and J. Peralta exhausted everything they had. “I got nothing,” Officer H. Gilberts says. “Same here. Sad to say we have another cold case in our hands,” Officer J. Peralta says as he puts the case files inside the box. - Meanwhile, at Caldwell Inc., it was Lucius's first day as the VP of Operations, and he went to the office 2 hours early to familiarize himself with his daily tasks and new team. He was lucky that his previous secretary, Chloe, remained loyal to him, and when he called her she instantly resigned from her secretarial position in one of the Ripley International subsidiaries. - Concurrently, Victor was sitting in the back passenger seat with Latton and his face conveyed annoyance and envy. He has been sulking for a while but Latton seems to ignore him. He can’t take it anymore. He coughs vigorously, then says, “I’m beginning to be jealous here. You’ve been back f
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 144 - Like the small village in the UK
AFTER briefly speaking to Lucian in the corridor, Latton returned to Victor's office and sat in his chair. She can't stop reminiscing about Lucian's reaction after she corrected him by calling her Mrs., instead of Miss. "Why do I feel bad when I see him sad?" She asked herself while checking the documents that needed Victor's signature. "I should be happy, he no longer has that smug look on his face. He must have been boastful when I fell about his lies over and over again." She said to herself as she clenched the papers tightly scrunching them in the process. Shortly after, Victor entered the office. He notices the frown on her face, "Hey, what's with the sad gloomy look?" He asks as he moves towards her. "Nothing important. How's the meeting?" She inquired detachedly. "The usual boring business stuff," he replied, seeing how expressionless she was. He then added, "The meeting is so boring. The only noticeable thing is Lucian looks disconnected." Her brows furrowed. He stared at
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 145 - Mind Games
EARLY in the morning when Kirby Johnson discreetly drove to York’s Villa. “What brings you here this early, Kirby?” Latton asks as she walks down the stairs still in her sleepwear. “You need to know something about the company,” he declared anxiously. She frowned and sat beside him in the living room. “There are anomalies in the last financial reports, forged invoices, missing money, under-the-table projects, and everything began when Miss Gardner joined the company. At first, it's only a few hundred thousand, then it turns to…” “... How much do you think she got?” She intervenes. “Around 50 million…” She gasped. The veins on her forehead started to bulge in rage, “Have you told my father about this?” “That’s why I’m here,” he says as he lowers his head. “I told him and he did not listen. He doesn’t listen to reasoning anymore. I’m afraid if this continues Ripley International will fall. I’m your father's right-hand man, but my loyalty remains to your grandfather’s legacy, whic
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 146 - Your Move
JOHN called Lucian to his office to give him a rundown of the cost it would take to sever ties with Prima Star. Lucian's hands shivered in surprise at seeing how much Caldwell Incorporated needed to pay. "This much, huh?" He mumbles. John frowns, "Yes, I don't like Shirley, but I wouldn't like the company to suffer this much. Unless they are the ones that cut ties with us like what Ripley International did," he explains while patting Lucian's back. "That means we need to endure having her around," Lucian states. John nods, "But I think you are doing well. You were able to stand up against her, even shout at her, and she listened to you." He explains. "And that's a good thing?" Lucian inquired. "Yes. You have no idea how madly in love you were with her before, and it's understandable, you are 15, and she was 21 when you first met. In everyone's eyes, she grooms you to be an obedient boyfriend," John commented. Meanwhile, on the 15th floor, Shirley was walking back and forth to h
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 147 - Under the Table
ALBERT and Alison thought Latton still had no idea about their plans, but little did they know an internal audit was ongoing in secrecy. They were clueless regarding what was about to happen in the coming month. Meanwhile, Victor asks Latton to accompany him to work as his secretary, Madison, is on leave, and he hates being alone in his office. That's what he told her, but deep down he just wanted to flaunt to everyone that he had Latton tightly in his grasp. “Is it okay if you bring this to Lucian?” Victor asked. “He needs to sign it,” he added. Latton glared at him then hesitantly took the folder and went to the CEO's office. To her surprise, Jenny, the CEO's secretary, was not at her table. She’s about to walk back to the COO area when suddenly she sees the door to Lucian’s office is slightly open. “He might be inside,” she mumbles to herself. She pushes the door only to find it empty. She’s about to leave when she suddenly bumps into the table and accidentally lets go of the fo
