The Lost Son's Return Chapter 52
Looking up from his desk to look at Josh woth a stern look, Giovanni finally spoke up. “So, how did your meeting with Eduardo go?” He asked, his question taking Josh by surprise. How did Giovanni know that he had met with Eduardo?Josh couldn't help feeling relieved upon realizing that his grandfather had called him over to discuss his meeting with Eduardo. However, he also couldn't help feeling very surprised at how Giovanni had found out about his interaction with Eduardo. “How… did you know that I met Mr Eduardo?” Josh asked with a curious gaze. Giovanni’s gaze was serious as he replied. “How I found out doesn't matter.” As he said that he sighed before continuing, “What matters is that you stay away from Ramirez, Josh.” His tone was serious but also concerned at the same time. And he was indeed concerned. Giovanni had been trying to avoid Josh meeting the Ramirez family this whole time, he had even instructed Antonio to make sure that didn't happen. Now that it had happened, he

Mario grinned as he responded to Josh's question, saying, "I just wanted to remind you that you're still not welcome here." And that was the reason he had knocked on Josh's car door, just to remind him that he didn't belong in the family. Something that Josh had heard from him before, and he didn't need reminding, because he already felt like he didn't belong in this family already.Another reason Mario approached Josh was because he wanted to entertain his female companion by making fun of Josh. He intended to show her that Josh was a loser who didn't belong to the family.Mario's intense dislike for Josh fueled a strong desire to turn others against him. The idea of Josh being part of the family irked Mario, and he was determined to make sure others shared in his negative sentiments. Josh raised an eyebrow, looking at Mario like he had lost his mind. He couldn't believe that Mario had gone out of his way to knock on his car window just to say that. How childish of him?Shaking his

Hearing Carlos telling him that he should go to detention didn't surprise Josh, infact he had expected something like that. It was no secret that the two of them didn't like each other.Josh turned back to look at him, and he was about to say something, but Carlos spoke up before him. “Go on now, out of my class!” He demanded, and without saying anymore he walked to his desk and resumed teaching. Josh, maintaining his composure, didn't react in any way, he just casually walked out of the classroom. The door closed behind him, muffling the sounds of the ongoing lecture. As he stepped into the corridor, he couldn't help but feel a mix of frustration and annoyance. The fact that Carlos had sent him only to detention and didn't send that girl who was also late just like him to detention annoyed him. It felt like he had been treated unfairly. It was a very familiar feeling, as it was very often that he got treated that way by people.But what did he expect? Things like this were bound to

“So, what brings you here, Josh, you don't look like a trouble maker.” Amelia asked trying to keep the conversation between her and Josh going. "if you don't mind, I'd like to concentrate on my assignment," Josh replied respectfully. He couldn't understand why she was so interested in talking to him. She seemed to come from a wealthy background, which made him feel uneasy because he wasn't accustomed to people like her taking an interest in him. Typically, individuals from affluent backgrounds would mock him, so he found it unusual and wasn't inclined to engage in conversation.Amelia nodded understandingly, noting Josh's polite yet distant response. His guarded demeanor was evident, and she didn't understand why, but she respected his wish for solitude to focus on the assignment.Glancing at Josh briefly, she turned her attention to the desk. As the minutes ticked by in the detention room, Mrs. Henderson rose from her desk, commanding attention with a swift clearing of her throat.

Josh's heart skipped a beat upon seeing Brian and his friends walking into the cafeteria. He could tell by their serious expressions and the purposeful way they entered the cafeteria they had come for him. And he wasn't surprised by that. In Fact he had been expecting Brian to try and get payback for the humiliation Sofia had handed him the previous night. Sofia had humiliated him so much and even got him kicked out of the banquet hall, all because of Josh, so it was only expected that Brian would try to make Josh pay for that. Nobody had ever humiliated Brian and made look so weak, that he even got kicked out of an event and he couldn't do anything about it, and it was all because of this bastard Josh. Approaching, Brian stopped a few inches to Josh's table, his cold gaze landing on him. “Would you look at that? It's Josh everyone!” He exclaimed mockingly, a disdainful expression plastered on his face.Instinctively Josh rose to his feet, meeting Brian's gaze as he replied, “I don'

Josh closely watched as Brian's minions surrounded him, and it was a sign that things were about to get ugly. But even knowing that, he didn't panic, he remained unfazed, his gaze locked on Brian but at the same time keeping an eye on his minions. Brian's minions inched closer to Josh slowly, and their eyes glinted with dangerous intents, ready to help Brian unleash his fury. Yet even amidst this, Josh's didn't show any sign of being intimidated. He used to be easily intimidated by them, but that fear had vanished, replaced by confidence and courage. The cafeteria's atmosphere was filled with anticipation as everyone watched the scene unfolding. Seeing Josh being surrounded like that, it was evident to them that Brian was about to unleash his fury on him. That made some people who also didn't like Josh watch with happy expressions, while others remained indifferent, choosing to ignore the unfolding confrontation. There was a mixture of emotions in the, adding to the intensity. “Let

Judging by the fact that Josh was standing up for himself, and even fighting back against Brian's minions who jad ganged up on him, It was clear that he had transformed from a past victim to a resilient force. The cafeteria witnessed a short, intense metamorphosis as he defied expectations, leaving behind the echoes of his impoverished past.However even though he was fighting back, the odds were against him due to him being inexperienced when it came to fighting. Another attacker seized the opportunity, delivering a powerful kick to Josh's midsection. Staggering back from the force, he fought to regain balance, gritting his teeth against the pain. Brian's minions circled, a relentless onslaught.Yet, Josh refused to be a mere victim. He blocked a flurry of punches, his movements a mix of desperation and determination. He managed to and momentarily staggered one of his adversaries. The cafeteria echoed with the clash of bodies and the gasps of onlookers.The unfolding scene left onlook

Josh was quick to defend himself. "He is lying, I did not..." Josh began to defend himself, but his words were swiftly cut off by Professor Roberto's authoritative voice. "Quiet, my office now," Professor Roberto demanded, leaving no room for further explanations.Although what was happening was BLT fair, Josh had no choice. And he was used to stuff like this happening. Being the victim and getting punished for it, was nothing new to him.Amelia, who stood behind Josh, rolled her eyes, after hearing professor Roberto ordering Josh to go to his office. And she couldn't believe that this was how the professors at this college acted. It wasn't hard for one to realize that Josh was the victim, as Brian already had a reputation of bullying Josh.Under normal circumstances, Amelia might have cared less about Josh, or the baseless accusations he was facing, but they had urgent matters to attend to, and Josh being summoned to Mr. Roberto’s office would only delay things and they wouldn't ge

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 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.
