Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 174 - Va-Yor-Ri Unlimited
AFTER two weeks. In the long corridor of Ripley International, three people walked to the biggest conference room in the building, located near the CEO and COO’s office. Latton sighs, "We've done everything we could. Paid different publishing companies to uplift your background and presence in the business field. Put in good words here and there. Now it's go time. I will be in and out within 5 minutes. I’ll talk, and they will listen. After that, you two take over everything. Do you understand?” She exclaimed. Both Lucius and Victor agreed. Soon they marched inside the room filled with press and instantly started flashing their cameras at them. Meanwhile, at the Ripley manor, Albert was closely watching the news and observing how Latton would handle the situation. Thinking that the press might corner her and she couldn’t answer their questions. “How will you save yourself and the company, little girl?” he mumbled to himself. - The moment Latton stood at the podium to address th
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 175 - Malena's Side of Story
“WHAT a fiasco you made. You know Dad called me screaming on the phone. I can almost see his face contorting in rage from what you did.” Derek said gleefully over the phone as he sipped his drink by the pool surrounded by beautiful women in their tiny bikinis. “Well, I’m just starting,” Latton replied while looking at the city lights outside the window. “What are you planning next?” He inquired curiously. She marched to the chair and sat down. “Can’t tell you yet.” He laughs. “Oh, Latton! You're scary.” He mumbles. She giggled and soon ended the call. She walked to the table, opened the drawer, and took out neatly compiled documents. “Now what’s next?” Victor asked while comfortably sitting on the sofa. She smiles, “It’s time for us to call it quits.” She replied gleefully. “Really right now? In the middle of our launch? Won’t it look like I used you? It might... scratch that... It will make me look bad, and it will affect my credibility that you, yourself, worked hard to buil
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 176 - Victor’s Confession
MAGNUS CLAIRE, the Ripley family lawyer, did not disappoint. The moment he saw the divorce settlement Latton sent. He immediately notified Albert about it and, as Latton expected, Albert was enraged. “What was she thinking?” Albert yells internally as his chauffeur drives to Ripley International, now being renamed as Va - Yor - Ri Unlimited. He angrily entered his old company and barged into the CEO's office. His face is full of rage, jugular veins are bulging, hot blood rushing all over him, and he has one specific mission: to avenge his daughter. “How dare you hurt and use my daughter?” He said while tightly holding Victor’s collar. Victor raises his hands in a defensive position and says, “I'm just a pawn like everybody else in that creative world of hers, the only difference is I'm on her good side.” Albert frowned and gave a confused gaze. He slowly let go of his collar. “You still don't get it, do you? Let me elaborate. This is all part of her plan. From the day that I told
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 177 - The Visitor
“THANK YOU. For letting go of Lucius and Victor easily on such very short notice,” Latton muttered gently over the phone while she lay calmly on her bed. Lucian bit his bottom lip, “You owe me a lot, Latton.” She laughs, “I know. I know. I’ll make it up to you one of these days or maybe sooner.” “Sooner?” He mumbles in curiosity. She hummed. He smiled, “ I heard Va - Yor - Ri Unlimited is thriving….” He paused mid-sentence then cleared his throat. “Does that mean you are about to get a divorce?” He asked wishfully. She heaves deeply then grinned, “Yes, in fact it's already signed, and we are just waiting for the right moment for it to be announced via divorce party.” He laughs devilishly, “A divorce party with Victor?” “Yes, it’s to show everyone that it's a mutual decision.” She pointed out. “After that it's business as usual again.” “How about you doing business with me? Let’s go back to Canada. This time I’ll be more patient in teaching you how to drive.” He offered merrily
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 178 - Before the Storm
AFTER ONE WEEK, Albert Ripley and Alison Gardner's trial for Catherine's murder began and after a few days the verdict was out. Latton is pacing back and forth in the Ripley Manor living room while Derek is connected to her laptop via video call. Both are waiting patiently for their family lawyer, Magnus Claire's call. Even though they know that Albert will take the fall for Catherine’s death as the mastermind that orchestrated everything, they still want to know if Albert will be sentenced to death or life imprisonment. Although Latton said Albert was dead to her, she didn’t really want him to die. “The tension is killing me. I should have attended the trial.” She yelled internally. Derek clears his throat to get her attention, “Would you stop? You’re making me dizzy,” he shouts. His voice was almost cracking and Latton could sense his stress. She exhaled profoundly, “What’s taking so long?” She mumbled, “I think Magnus forgot to call us.” She exclaimed and took out her phone to
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 179 - Approaching Storm
It’s Latton and Victor’s divorce party. The whole manor was decorated with white, black and red themes. Victor made sure it would be the event of the century. He ordered a 6 ft red velvet cake with white frosting covered with small broken red hearts. The whole manor is filled with round tables with a bouquet of red roses at the centerpiece and a piece of small business card-sized card that says 'Victor and Latton’s divorce party', with a sweet photo of them taken when they got married in Vegas. He also hired an orchestra to entertain the people and when it reached 11pm a live band would take over the entertainment to continue with the after party. 7pm and Latton is still in her robe preparing. She'd been in contact with Lucian for the past few days, exchanging lustful messages and photos. Both are excited that they could finally make their relationship public soon. They've been longing to see each other again after their encounter in the Hospital. "The party starts at 9pm. Don't b
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 180 - The Storm
THE beautiful classical music filled the entire of Ripley Manor. The guests are chatting to each other. Airo, Angeline, and Thalia were seated at the same table as Virgil York. “So where is my soon-to-be ex-daughter-in-law?” Virgil asked with an annoyed tone. “My daughter is still in her room. Victor went upstairs to pick her up,” Thalia explained. “Your daughter? So you are the infamous Thalia or should I say Nathalia Rees the actress,” Virgil commented while holding on to his cane tightly. Thalia nodded. Meanwhile, Airo and Angeline are observing the two. "Your face changed a lot from the first time I saw you. You had a lot of surgery done to your face." Virgil pointed out with a sarcastic tone. Thalia ignored his hurtful remarks and marched away from him and sat at the opposite table where John, Vivian, Xavier, Lucius, were sitting. Angeline almost choked on her drink when she heard Virgil's comments. "This old man sure is rude," Angeline thought to herself. Virgil scoffed
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 181 - Something’s Wrong with Lucian
AFTER the flashing lights from the camera, Latton saw John’s terrified look while talking to someone on the phone. Her face paled instantly, and it was as if everything moved slower and the ambiance turned darker. There’s a gloomy air surrounding them, a feeling too familiar to her that brings back memories of when her grandpa and Catherine died, the same look of the people who heard the bad news first. She marched to John and Vivian and heard about Lucian’s accident. Hearing that, she felt a wave of relief, knowing that he is still alive. Her lips were still shaking, “I’m going with you.” she exclaimed worriedly. She was not even thinking clearly about what the press and guests would think if she suddenly disappeared. “How about the party? You need to entertain all these people.” John states while he is sweating bullets. “I’ll take care of everything. If someone asks, I’ll tell them you're drunk and went to sleep,” Lucius suggested. Victor coughed, “I can handle it. Go to the ho
