The Lost Son's Return Chapter 137
The next day at college, Josh was sitting alone at a table in the crowded cafeteria. The sound of chatter and laughter filled the air making it impossible for him to focus on what was on his computer screen. He glanced up from his table and looked around at the crowded cafeteria.‘I should have picked a quieter spot.’ he thought to himself, regretting coming to the cafeteria and thinking it was going to be quiet enough for him to do his assignment.He was trying to write an essay, however due to the noisy atmosphere in the cafeteria it was hard for him to do anything. The cafeteria was lively, with groups of students chatting and laughing as they had conversations about random stuff Josh sighed, realizing that he probably was going to have to pick another place to concentrate better, however he didn't have enough time for that as he had another lecture in less than ten minutes. He had picked the cafeteria as he didn't want to waste time having to walk to the cafe across the street fro

Kathy glared at Josh with a very angry look across her face. She couldn't believe how he had turned the tables on her. It wasn't supposed to go like this at all. She had planned to humiliate him in front of everyone, however she didn't expect him to be the one who humiliated her infront of everyone. Well, it wasn't exactly humiliation, more like he had exposed her. But still, it was embarrassing as he had exposed the fact that she was dating one of their professors for good grades. Which just showed that she had no standards, like she was claimed to have.The remarks about Kathy continued, and Josh enjoyed not being on the receiving end of mean and ridiculing remarks for the first time in a long time. What made it even better was that, the personal on the receiving end was someone who deserved what she was getting, Kathy.Some students didn't hold back from making derogatory comments about her, their disdainful expressions reflecting their disapproval. The revelation that one of the

Throughout the lecture, Josh managed to take notes, trying to immerse himself in the lesson's. The lecture seemed to go on and on, but Josh managed to stay focused. As the professor wrapped up and the bell rang, signaling the end of class, Josh let out a sigh of exhaustion, gla that he was done with classes for the day. Eager to hear out of the lecture hall, he packed up his things. A few minutes later, Josh exited the college building and into the campus ground's. As Josh walked across the campus grounds, he was deep in thought, reflecting on the events of the day. The noise of students chatting and the sounds of footsteps filled the air, creating a lively background noise to his thoughts. Suddenly, he heard someone call his name.“Hey, Josh?” It was a familiar voice, however Josh couldn't recall who it belonged to.Stopping on his track's, he swiveled his head to look behind him, curious about who had called out to him. To his surprise, he saw a familiar face approaching him. It wa

As she entered into the Rolls-Royce, Andrea's clothesline had already gotten entirely wet by the heavy rain. As she settled, she was still unsure if she had made the right decision by getting into Josh's car. Who was not a stranger to her, however she also couldn't say that she knew him very well. Not well enough to get in his car and accept a ride from him. What if he turned out to be someone dangerous?They lived in a dangerous city and it was not wise to just get on anyones car accepting a ride in the city, especially someone she didn't know very well. However she quickly removed those thoughts from her head, Josh seemed like a nice guy, not like someone who would want to harm her. Indeed he was a nice guy. He seemed genuinely kind, and someone who had no ill intention. However she was also justified for being cautious given how dangerous it was in the city.Andrea tried to relax, reminding herself that he had never given her a reason to distrust him. In Fact it was quite the op

“Whoa! Are you okay?” Josh asked, concern evident in his voice as he steadied Andrea. If he wasn't there, she would have hit the tiles hard. Thankfully he was there to catch her just in time before she could fall Andrea, regaining her balance with Josh’s help, stood up straight and glanced down at her newly bought dress, now stained with orange juice. She frowned slightly, then she turned to Josh, feeling a flush of embarrassment. “Yeah, thanks for catching me,” she said, her voice laced with regret.Turning her gaze from Josh, she darted her eyes towards where the person she had bumped into was. She noticed that the person she had bumped into, was a man, who looked like he was in his thirties sitting on the floor, glaring up at her with a mix of frustration and anger. “Oh no, I’m so sorry!” Andrea exclaimed, her eyes widening at the sight of the man's shirt stained with the orange juice, however unlike her dress that was also stained, his shirt looked worse, because it was a white

The man seemed more interested in gawking at her than discussing the shirt. Andrea’s unease grew, her face flushing with a mix of anger and embarrassment, knowing what was going on through the man's mind. She felt like she was being objectified.Feeling disgusted by the man's gaze on her she instinctively took a step back, trying to distance herself from the man’s piercing stare. Josh, noticing the man’s predatory behavior, immediately stepped in front of Andrea, making sure there was a distance between the man and her, his expression turning cold. He was now even more annoyed by the man, it was clear that he had some dirty thoughts going through his head, which made Josh sick to his stomach. “We’re not going to play games here. Either you accept a reasonable offer or we call security. This isn’t how you handle things.” he warned in an icy tone. The man’s smirk faded slightly, but he was not giving up. He met Josh's gaze saying, “I’m afraid that’s not how I do business,” he said col

The security guard quickly approached the group once he was called over by the man. His eyes scanned the scene, taking in everyone's tense faces as he tried to figure out what was going on. And he could tell by the man's angry facial expression that someone had upset him, and it was probably the two people standing next to him. “What’s going on here?” he asked, his tone neutral but authoritative.The man, still fuming, looked at the security guard, pointing to his stained shirt and began to explain in an angry voice, “This woman here bumped into me, and now my limited edition shirt is ruined. She should pay for it.”He turned to Josh and Andrea, adding, “They can't just brush this off like it’s no big deal. They need to compensate me for the damage.”Although Josh and Andrea had been trying to pay him for the shirt all this time, asking him how much it was so they could pay, he had refused earlier. Because he was convinced that he could take advantage of the situation and make the pre

“Twenty thousand dollars for a shirt? That’s insane! He should be ashamed of himself for lying like that!” one woman exclaimed, shaking her head in disbelief. Clearly the man was lying trying to take advantage of those young people.However, a few sided with Mr. Bruno. “Well, limited editions can be really pricey,” someone commented. “It’s possible.“They should have been more careful,” another added, crossing their arms across “They caused the mess, so they should pay.”Josh maintained his composure. He was tired of the situation and just wanted to resolve it quickly and leave the store once and for all. As he took out his wallet, Mr. Bruno observed him and couldn’t help laughing when he saw Josh taking out a checkbook. Was this young man really trying to write a check for 20 thousand dollars?Maybe he didn’t understand the price and he had heard 20 Dollars instead of 20 thousand dollars. There was no way he had that much money. In fact, Mr. Bruno doubted this young man even had 10 t

The students' eyes locked onto Josh, his posture straightening as he tried to intimidate him. "You really think you can tell me what to do, huh?" He sneered. "Move the fuck away or you're going to get it!"Josh didn’t move, "You’re the one who should," he said, his tone calm but commanding. "You’re bothering her, and I’m not going to ignore it."Andrea shifted uneasily beside him, glancing at the guy before looking back at Josh. She wanted to tell him to just leave it, to avoid any more confrontations with Ace, but she stayed quiet, hoping Josh could finally scare him and his friend Ron into leaving her alone. Ever since she started at this college, Ace and Ron had been relentlessly bothering her, asking her out over and over. She had turned them down countless times, but they never stopped, it had turned into harassment at this point.Ace took a step closer, chest puffed out as he tried to make himself more intimidating, hoping Josh would back off,"Why the couch are you still on my f

The next day, at around 7 in the morning, Josh arrived at college, he walked down the campus grounds, passing by a group of guys standing near the main hallway, their excited chatter filtering through as he moved by. He didn’t know what they were talking about but neither did he care at first, however when they mentioned a familiar name he was slightly curious."Did you see Isabella’s stream last night? Man, she looked incredible!"Some guy dressed in red jeans and a jacket said in enthusiasm.Isabella. Was one of the hottest girls on campus and an online streamer, who played video games, with quite a good following. Josh had heard the name plenty of times, seen her once or twice in passing, but he didn’t pay it much mind. He even donated to her stream a few days ago, but he had done that for fun, and nothing else, not because he wanted to be noticed by her or something, unlike the other people.But he had to say that the way people seemed to talk about her like she was some goddess

Josh moved quickly down the stairs, his heartbeat thundering in his chest as he pursued the mysterious figure. Hoping to catch up to him and ask him questions.The shadowy intruder was swift, sprinting through the mansion’s dimly lit corridors with ease, his footsteps barely making a sound. Despite Josh's best efforts, he struggled to keep up, his shoes hitting the polished floor heavily as he turned corner after corner, desperate to close the distance."Hey! Stop!" Josh called out, but the figure showed no sign of slowing down. Josh picked up pace, and he could feel frustration building up inside him, with each second, the man’s elusive speed almost mocking him. Although Josh was trying his best to run fast and catch up,his attempts were futile, he couldn't catch up with the man.They reached the grand staircase leading to the main entrance, and just as Josh rounded the last bend, he caught a little glimpse of the figure slipping out of a side door into the night. By the time Josh ma

Josh knew some people had expected him to act differently, more ruthlessly, more like a true ‘De La Cruz.’ Giovanni hadn’t said much, but the silence bothered him. It was a silence that spoke volumes, making Josh wonder if his grandfather shared the same doubts as the others.Not wanting to dwell on it any longer, Josh pulled out his phone, deciding to put the night behind him. He quickly dialed his bodyguard and driver to come and pick him up, hoping to escape the weight of the evening as soon as possible.Not long after he made the phone call, a sleek black Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of him. His bodyguard stepped out of the vehicle and silently opened the door, waiting for Josh to get in. As Josh took a step forward, ready to leave the night behind, he heard the soft but distinct sound of footsteps approaching him from behind.Josh paused on his tracks, his hand resting on the car door, and glanced back over his shoulder, catching sight of a familiar figure moving toward him.

Lilith had no comment on Josh’s actions. She could see Mrs. Washington’s disappointment, the frustration appearing on her face as she watched the man who was supposed to be the future son-in-law of their family display complete weakness in front of more than a hundred people. Mrs. Washington shook her head in disdain, her voice dripping with scorn as she continued to speak on Josh. “What a disgrace,” she murmured, loud enough for those around her to hear. Her displeasure with Josh was justifiable according to herself. How could a soon to be son-in-law of hers act like that? He let someone who had put hands on him earlier walk away without a consequence? To her, it wasn’t just a show of weakness from Josh, it also revealed a lack of self-respect. If Josh had any, he would show no mercy and would have taught the man who dared to disrespect him a lesson. “Giovanni must be very disappointed. Total weakness from Josh. A real De La Cruz would’ve made Walton pay. No hesitation, no mercy.”
The Lost Son's Return Chapter 172
The room was filled with the murmur of the crowd, their astonished whispers growing louder as they wondered what Giovanni's grandson was going to do to the person who had wronged him earlier. It was no longer a secret that Chris Walton had dared to attack Josh De La Cruz at this event earlier. No doubt a foolish and dangerous move from Mr Walton. Everyone knew he was about to face serious consequences for that. So, would Giovanni's grandson exact his revenge on Mr. Walton? The anticipation filled the air, with everyone eager to see how Josh would handle the situation and what retribution Walton would face.It wasn't about if he was going to get his revenge or not? The answer was already obvious. He was A De La Cruz, so of course he was going to get his revenge from the person who had wronged him! The real question was; how was Josh going to take his revenge? What was he going to do to Mr Walton?The event attendees watched intently as their gaze shifted between Josh and Giovanni, eag
The Lost Son's Return Chapter 171
Chris Walton struggled to accept the revelation. How on earth could Josh be related to Giovanni De La Cruz, let alone be his grandson? It all sounded like a made-up lie to him. However Giovanni had no reason to deceive him, so Chris had no choice but to believe it. It had to be the truth.It wouldn't even matter whether he chose to believe it or not anyways, because either way, Giovanni was involved and he was on Josh's side.The truth was undeniable, Josh was indeed Giovanni's grandson. A wave of regret washed over Chris as he began to realize how bad this was. He had made a big mistake. Only if someone had told him that the young man who had approached him and introduced himself earlier was actually a De La Cruz, then Chris wouldn't have been so rude to him. Chris had taken the fact that Josh had been nice and humble towards him earlier as weakness. He thought Josh was just a nobody who wasn't on his level and was unworthy of his respect or attention. Plus the fact that Amelia was

Giovanni’s face darkened, his expression turning icy upon hearing Mr. Walton's disrespectful reference to Josh. He couldn't believe that someone would be bold enough to insult his grandson in front of him. Even if Giovanni hadn’t been there earlier, Giovanni wondered why anyone would disrespect his grandson in the first place. Hadn’t they realized who Josh was already? Giovanni had made a point of introducing Josh to many people that night to ensure his identity was known, so he assumed Mr. Walton was aware of who Josh was. The fact that Mr. Walton had still gone on to insult him seemed baffling to Giovanni. It was as if they were daring fate itself, how could anyone be so reckless as to insult his grandson in front of him? Were they tired of living?The insult aimed at his grandson was unacceptable, and Giovanni couldn’t stand by silently. Fixing his gaze on Mr. Walton, Giovanni’s voice was low but filled with menace. “You’ll refrain from insulting my family in my presence,” he said

After speaking with Vincenzo for a while, Antonio left him upstairs and returned to the venue. As he approached Giovanni, he appeared deep in thought.Giovanni, noticing Antonio’s preoccupied expression, asked, “Is everything alright?”Startled from his thoughts, Antonio quickly forced a smile and replied, “Yeah, everything’s fine.” He chose to lie, not wanting to reveal his encounter with Vincenzo. Antonio knew that if Giovanni discovered that Vincenzo, the traitor, was at the event, it would only lead to trouble.Meanwhile.As the night progressed, Josh and Bianca finally parted ways. However they exchanged numbers, something Josh didn't expect to happen, but he was atill very happy. He was still surprised that she had taken a liking to him. Because he wasn't used to people taking a liking to him. That was one of the reasons he never had many girlfriends in his 20 years of life, and the only girlfriend he had turned out to be the worst human being, only dating him because of a bet.
