The Lost Son's Return Chapter 152
Around evening, an armored SUV pulled up at the De La Cruz mansion. The doors opened and Josh, Mario, and Antonio emerged from the sleek vehicle.The vehicle's dark tint reflected the fading light of the day. The three of them had just returned from another one of Antonio’s dealings. Antonio had Josh and Mario tag along, as per Giovanni's instructions. Giovanni wanted the two of them to be tagging along so they could learn the ropes, grooming them for future roles within the family.However, Josh didn't like that. He hated having to tag along and he had grown tired of being involved in these drug deals already. His consciousness ate at him and he didn't want to be involved in the dirty dealings. And every time he accompanied Antonio, he was reminded of the risks and the shadowy world he was now involved in. But, despite his growing unease, he didn't have that much of a choice but to participate. The thing that scared him the most was getting in trouble with the law for his involvemen

The way the woman's gaze had lingered on Josh was like she had an interest on him or something.And when she had faced him, he also couldn't help to notice her striking facial features and realized she was quite attractive, with green eyes and pink lips. Despite himself, Josh felt a moment of unexpected attraction towards her. However, he quickly pushed his thoughts aside, trying to concentrate on the conversation between his grandfather and the woman.The woman continued, “He knows too much and refuses to reveal what we need. If we don’t handle him soon, his knowledge could jeopardize the entire operation.”Giovanni’s expression darkened slightly after hearing the woman's report. He nodded in understanding, and then he leaned back in his chair, his hands put together on the desk in thought. “How secure is our leverage with him?” The woman sighed, showing her frustration. “We’ve used all our usual methods, but he’s proving remarkably resilient,” she replied her facial expression unre

Having had enough, josh turned towards Mario with annoyance visible un his eyes, “Can you not smoke in here?” Josh asked, trying to keep his tone calm but unable to hide his irritation. He was annoyed by Mario. The sharp, acrid smoke was stinging his throat and making his eyes almost water.Mario gave Josh a brief, he didn't say anything, before turning his attention back to the window. He stared outside the limousine, his eyes following the fast-moving city lights, which passed in a blur. Seemingly not giving a care in the world, he took another slow drag from his cigarette. It gave him happiness knowing that what he was doing was bothering Josh, hence he wasn't planning to stop. Feeling even more annoyed, Josh’s patience snapped. Without a word, he snatched the cigarette from Mario's hand and tossed it out of the open window. Mario stared at him, surprised, as the cigarette disappeared into the night. He couldn't believe that Josh would dare do that, the audacity he had to snatch

Walking behind Giovanni, Josh entered the venue and took a moment to glance around the room. The lavish decor and the elegant attire of the guests clearly indicated that this was a high-profile event. Everyone was dressed in luxurious suits and gowns, adding to the event's air of sophistication and exclusivity.Josh noticed that paparazzi and media personnel were present at the event, their cameras flashing as they captured the high profile attendees. As they turned their attention to him, Mario, Antonio, and Giovanni, Josh's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away to avoid having his face captured. He felt uneasy at the thought of being photographed and potentially appearing on the front or back page of a newspaper. The idea of his connection to the De La Cruz family being exposed made him nervous, especially since he was concerned about possible repercussions at college.Despite his growing awareness that Giovanni was also known as a respected business tycoon Josh couldn't

Josh responded with a smile. “I didn't expect to run into you either.” He replied, shifting his gaze towards Mr Walton who was standing next to Amelia. Mr. Walton’s eyebrows raised slightly in surprise as he turned sharply to glare at Josh. His expression was a mix of irritation and confusion, clearly displeased by the interruption. Josh's abrupt intrusion into his conversation with Amelia was unexpected, and Walton's dissatisfaction was evident in the way he looked at Josh, scrutinizing and wondering who this newcomer was and why he had chosen to interrupt his and Amelia's conversation.Josh met Mr Walton’s gaze, noticing his visible angry facial expression. However, he brushed it off, assuming Walton’s stern demeanor was simply his usual expression. After all, Josh couldn’t think of a reason why Walton would be specifically upset with him. He didn't do anything to make him upset. Josh decided to introduce himself to Mr Walton, and he was just about to do so, when Amelia took his h

Mr Chris Walton scoffed as he felt even more annoyed by Josh's presence, ‘What a fucking loser,’ he thought, his mind filled with disdain. Mr Walton was convinced that he was speaking to someone who really looked up to him. However he wasn't flattered by that, instead he was even more annoyed, not understanding why Amelia would pick someone who was clearly inferior.Mr. Walton’s eyes narrowed as he glared at Josh. “It seems the feeling isn’t mutual,” he said, his tone cold and blunt. “I’m not sure what you’re doing here, but you’ve picked a terrible time to show up.” Josh was at a loss for words as Mr. Walton’s response registered in his mind. He hadn’t expected him to be so rude. To say the least, Josh was very disappointed, because this was someone he really admired. Walton had been nothing but dismissive and disdainful towards him, and his behavior left Josh with the impression that he wasn't the polite, high-profile individual he always pretended to be. The interaction had been u

As the event continued, Josh and Amelia found themselves engaged in conversations that ranged from light banter to more serious topics. Josh found himself having to dodge a lot of Amelia's questions as she kept asking questions that if he answered might reveal his real identity. But apart from that the rest of their conversation was enjoyable. This was the first time Josh had ever spoken to Amelia on a serious level and gotten to know her well enough, and he hated to admit that she was different than he had thought. His initial impression of her wasn't very good, however he realized he might been wrong. As they continued to converse, the elegant surroundings and the buzz of high-profile guests provided an elegant backdrop to their dialogue. Amelia glanced around the room, before returning her gaze towards Josh and and mentioned, “So, I heard Giovanni De La Cruz is here tonight.” She said, her gaze showing just how curious she was. She didn't get to see him arrive with her own

Amelia glanced at Josh with a curious expression, her eyebrows slightly raised. “So, how do you know Marco Ramirez?” she had to ask, as her curiosity was eating at her. She had been trying to find out who Josh really was and his background for so long now, however he never disclosed anything, but this seemed like the perfect opportunity to ask him about it.Josh, who had been engrossed in the woman speaking on stage, was startled by Amelia’s question. He turned to face her, momentarily caught off guard. The unexpected question caused him to hesitate, his mind racing as he thought of a response. He wondered if he should reply to her or not. And how much should he even reveal to her? He wondered. He knew that admitting his connection to the Ramirez family could address Amelia’s curiosity and potentially throw her off from doing some more digging into his more sensitive family ties. It was very important to Josh that no one should ever find out he was a member of the De La Cruz crime f
