The Lost Son's Return Chapter 73
Turning to locate the source of the voice, Josh's eyes landed on a familiar face, and a frown appeared on his features as recognition set in. It was Kathy, his ex-girlfriend, standing there with a smirk that got on his nerves. Kathy entered the boutique with a confident smirk spread across her face. She was dressed in a tight sleek black dress that accentuated her curves, and her outfit was completed with stylish heels. As she walked further inside the boutique, she finally stopped walking and turned to look at Josh with a disdainful look. “What do you think you're doing here?” She asked, her face twisting into a disgusted expression. For some reason, seeing his face made her feel irritated. And on top of that, to her, seeing Josh in such an upscale establishment was like catching a cockroach in a five-star restaurant. He was so clearly not someone who could afford a thing in such a luxurious boutique, the price tags likely giving him heart palpitations. "Shouldn't you be looking f

Kathy had attempted to make Josh's experience in the boutique awful, however to her disappointment, Josh simply ignored her as it she was nothing. And of course that bothered her to the core. No one ignored her as if she was nothing, especially not a loser like Josh. Who did he think he was? Watching Josh ignore her and walk away as if she didn't even exist only served to exacerbate Kathy's irritation. Every feature of him seemed to step on her nerves, from his detached demeanor to the way he seemed to effortlessly disregard her presence.Despite initially coming to the boutique for her own personal reasons, the sight of Josh had ignited a desire within Kathy to mock and embarrass him. And when she saw that he was there with Amelia, that desire grew even more, wanting to show Amelia how much of a pathetic loser the man she had associated herself with was.Her gaze followed him as he walked away, each step fueling her simmering rage. Kathy seethed with frustration as Josh walked away

Feeling the pressure of Kathy's constant belief that he had no money, Josh wanted to show her she was wrong. But the challenge lay in finding a way to demonstrate his solvency without succumbing to the pressure of her skepticism.Amelia, who was standing beside Josh, couldn't believe what she was hearing from Kathy. At this point, it became very clear to her that Kathy was not as good a person as everyone thought. If anything, what was happening only showed that she was bitter. For some reason, she seemed intent on making Josh's life difficult. It was evident that Kathy harbored a lot of hatred towards him. But why? Weren't they once a couple? So, why did she hate him so much? Amelia pondered to herself.Hearing that Josh's account had been frozen for fraudulent activities, the receptionist believed Kathy instantly. It was easy for her to believe Kathy someone she knew over Josh someone she didn't know. Darting her gaze towards Josh, she gave him a disgusted look as she handed him the

Amidst the chaos of the confrontation, the pepper spray discharged into the air, its sharp and unpleasant scent filling the room. Amelia quickly stepped back, closing her eyes as she looked away to avoid the pepper spray from reaching her eyes. Josh instinctively moved to shield her, knocking the bottle out of the security guard's hand. And luckily Amelia had looked away in time, and Josh had managed to keep the pepper spray from getting into Amelia's eyes with his hands.As he watched as the pepper spray canister clatter to the floor, Josh then narrowed his eyes into a glare directed at the security guard. His frustration quickly shifted into anger at the unjust mistreatment they were enduring. They had intended to leave peacefully, but the guard's ego-driven hostility had escalated the situation unnecessarily.Amelia was left seething with anger and disbelief at the security's actions. How dare a mere security guard, someone she deemed unworthy of even breathing the same air as her,

Josh was stunned when he heard Mr. Sanchez, the store owner, order his security to search him for anything he might have stolen. It was disappointing to see how easily Mr. Sanchez had believed Kathy's words without conducting any further investigation. Even when Josh tried to object, pointing out that they didn't have the right to search him, Mr. Sanchez made it clear that he didn't care about such concerns. With a dismissive wave of his hand, he ordered his security to search Josh forcefully if necessary, leaving Josh feeling powerless and violated.Kathy, the one who suggested it, watched with a satisfied expression as the security guards searched Josh for any stolen item. Although she knew that Josh was not that type of person, that didn't stop her from making up that lie and accusing him of being a thief. And all because she wanted to embarrass him, and show him his place.The security guards thoroughly searched Josh, their hands going through every pocket and crevice, but they fo

Upon witnessing Mr. Sanchez's drastic change in attitude towards Josh, everyone, including the receptionist and Vanessa, was shocked. Wasn't this the same man who had been rude and cold toward Josh earlier? He had even ordered his security guards to search Josh forcefully, despite having no proof of any wrongdoing. But now all of a sudden Mr Sanchez had become nervous. He was sweating profusely and was speaking to Josh as if he was some important person, when in reality he wasn't. It made no sense to anyone.As she looked over at her boss, the receptionist couldn't help enquiring “Boss, is everything alright.” However her question went unanswered, and instead Mr Sanchez just gave her a stern look that made her wonder what she had done to upset him. And the thought of upsetting her boss, and being in trouble and possibly losing her Job because of it, sent a shiver down her spine.Kathy was among those who couldn't believe what she was witnessing. What on earth was going on? Why was Mr

In Mr Sanchez's eyes Josh was not someone to be messed with because of his background. And knowing that he had been totally disrespectful towards Josh earlier because of his ignorance Mr Sanchez was scared. He regretted even listening to Kathy in the first place. If only he had taken the time to learn about Josh before acting disrespectfully. Now, he couldn't help but wonder how deeply he had offended Josh and whether retaliation was imminent. Mr. Sanchez understood the urgency of rectifying his mistake swiftly to prevent Josh from making him regret his actions."Josh," Mr. Sanchez began, his voice a bit shaky despite his efforts to sound as composed as possible. "I must admit, I'm... surprised by what I've just discovered." He paused for a moment , as he collected his thoughts before continuing. "That card of yours, it's quite... exceptional."Josh smiled faintly and gave Mr Sanchez a nod. He acknowledged Mr Sanchez's words without saying anything in response or revealing much emotio

“You're banned from ever coming back here?” Mr Sanchez informed Kathy, his tone cold and with a hint of finality in it. And it was surprising for him to speak to Kathy like that. Knowing about Kathy's background Mr Sanchez always showed her the most respect because he wasn't stupid enough to upset her, but this time for some reason he was speaking to her coldly? He even told her that she was banned from the boutique!Kathy looked over at Mr Sanchez with a surprised expression, his words hitting her like a torn of bricks. She couldn't believe that Mr Sanchez just told her that. Why was she suddenly banned from the boutique, and how could he do that? “Excuse me?” Kathy asked, not sure if she heard him right. She must not have heard him right, because there was simply no way in hell he would speak to her that way, or even consider banning her from the boutique considering how much of a valuable customer she was. Why would he even do do that at all?However, Mr. Sanchez remained unmoved

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
The Lost Son's Return Chapter 170
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.
