"Yes, I think so too. Otherwise, why would he be asking for forgiveness in the first place? I bet he belongs to some influential family," the conversation continued, soft whispers and murmuring filling the air.A man seated nearby to where Josh and Mr Morris were, could overhear every word of apology coming from Mr Moretti and Josh mouth, unlike the other patrons who were seated far away and couldn't hear anything. Swiftly the man, took out his phone, a look of excitement in his eyes."I can't miss this," he muttered to his group of friends who were seated around the table, tapping eagerly on his screen. "I have to record it. I bet it will blow up on social media."“Yeah, that's a good idea.” One of his friends encouraged him.With a few quick swipes, he activated the camera and began recording, focusing on the scene unfolding before him. As Mr. Moretti, once a figure of authority, now appeared humbled and apologetic before Josh. One could say that Mr Moretti looked pathetic begging fo

The woman backed away, trying to get away from the two figures that were trying to rob her. She stopped when she noticed that she had been pressed into a car, and there was no way to go. Staring at the men with a fearful but courages look she demanded. “Back away from me. I'm not afraid to defend myself.” Not listening to her, the two men continued to approach. One of them glanced at the other, shaking his head, as he reached for the purse in the woman's hand, attempting to snatch it. However, she held onto it tightly, making it difficult for him to take it from her. The other guy, observing his associate's failed attempt, looked around to see if they were being watched. Then, he turned to his associate and the lady, saying, "Lady, give it up now!"At that moment, Josh had drawn closer and gained a clear understanding of the situation. The two figures were evidently attempting to rob the poor lady. Josh couldn't help but scowl at the two robbers. People like them disgusted Josh, and

Seeing his friend suddenly clutching his head in pain, the other robber turned to glare at the woman, in shock at the sudden attack. "Hey, where the hell did you get that baseball ba? You're gonna regret messing with us!” He declared.The sturdy robber gritted his teeth as he glared at the woman. Enraged by the fact that she had attacked him, he was about to make a move for her, however before he could Josh had attacked him from behind delivering a powerful blow with strength that he didn't know he had. The attack sent the man reeling forward again.The woman also swung her baseball bat and struck the slim robber on the side of his face. Caught off guard by the beating they were receiving from their victims, the robbers found themselves on the defensive, their plans thwarted by the woman's bold and courageous intervention. It didn't look like their plans were going to happen now, because it seemed like their two victims were more than capable of defending themselves in this situation.

Ending the call with a satisfied smile, Gianna tucked her phone back into her purse and walked towards her car. Opening the door she was about to get in, when the sound of multiple footsteps and the sound of someone's voice got her attention, and she shifted her attention towards the entrance where the sound was coming from, and she saw Mr Moretti and his two bodyguards exiting the cafe. “Make sure it doesn't get out to the public.” Mr Moretti said to his security guards coldly as he stepped foot outside the cafe."But sir, those patrons witnessed you bowing to that man. They're bound to spread rumors," one of the guards protested, referring to what had happened earlier when Mr Moretti had got on his knees asking for forgiveness from Josh. Everyone present in the cafe had seen it. Mr. Moretti's brow furrowed deeper as his henchman's words brought up a gnawing sense of unease within him. The realization that numerous eyes had witnessed his uncharacteristic display of vulnerability le

"Gianna," Mr. Moretti repeated, testing the name on his tongue. "Well, Gianna. I hope you liked the food, now if you'll excuse me, I have matters to attend to."Gianna nodded, concealing her satisfaction at having made the old man believe that she was simply there because she wanted to eat, when in reality she had another agenda. "Of course, Mr. Moretti. Enjoy the rest of your evening."Meanwhile, Josh returned to the mansion and quickly went to sleep for the night, knowing he had college the next day.In the morning when he woke up from bed, he took a quick shower before putting on the outfits chosen by his personal stylist, Amethyst. As he dressed, thoughts of Amethyst lingered in his mind. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had known her before she became his stylist. He kept thinking that he had met her before, but he just could never remember where he had met her before.Josh didn't dwell too much on the thoughts, choosing that he would try to find out more about amethyst anot

Josh was very determined to keep his true identity hidden, and so he had decided to get off from the Rolls Royce a short distance before reaching his college. He knew that arriving at the college in the Rolls Royce would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention, and when people saw that it was him who had arrived in it, they would raise eyebrows. The thought of them finding out that he was connected to the De LA Cruz made him slightly nervous. It was not that he cared that they would think bad of him: in fact he would have loved if everyone knew that he wasn't the same person they knew and alway bullied, and made fun of. What made him not want anyone to find out was because he knew that he was now a part of something illegal, and he feared that he would attract unwanted attention, particularly from the police or other law enforcement authorities pursuing the De La Cruz family. Although the De LA Cruz family seemed to have total control of the city and had some powerful figures on their

Mark's friends behind him, along with other students who had been standing by in the hallway and paying attention to what was happening, chuckled upon hearing his mocking words. Mark had insulted Josh, and accused him of losing the bet, and naturally, they found it amusing. After all, it was what they all expected from someone like Josh. The moment Amelia had accepted the bet for him, Josh had already lost, and everyone knew that.However, what everyone didn't know was that Mark was actually the one who had lost the bet between them. And the only reason Mark was this confident was that he had no idea about Josh. In fact, none of them had any idea about his newly found wealth, still thinking that he was the same poverty stricken person he once was.A confident grin played on Josh's lips as he observed the amused murmurs coming from the crowd, as they thought he had lost. Josh was eager to witness their reaction once he shattered their assumptions. It was evident that they all presumed

Josh and Vanessa's classmates were astounded by the revelation that Vanessa had made. How could Josh, of all people, afford to replace an outfit worth thousands of dollars? It seemed utterly impossible to them. While some of them didn't want to doubt Vanessa and just believed her because of who she was: some of them were having a hard time believing it, or rather they didn't want to believe it, because they believed that there was simply no way Josh could manage to do that. However, despite their disbelief, the fact that Vanessa, the intended recipient of the outfit, confirmed it made them reconsider. After all, it was Vanessa who had said that, and they knew what type of person she was, so why would she lie about it? Also, they knew that Josh was obligated to replace the outfit after spilling coffee on Vanessa's previous one. If he hadn't fulfilled his obligation, surely Vanessa would have mentioned it to them.Mark, like some of the students in the hallway ,was skeptical. Although

Mr. Ramirez’s gaze remained cold as he looked at Dante. “Where is this… Reaper?” he asked Dante hesitated, shaking his head in denial. “I… I don’t know, sir.”Mr. Ramirez studied him for a long moment, his expression unreadable. Before he could say anything else, the waiting room doors burst open.Mateo’s parents, Catalina and Dean, rushed inside, their faces filled with worry. Marco followed closely behind them, equally as worried.“Dad, how is my son? Where is Mateo?” Catalina asked, her voice shaking.Josh tensed as he watched them. It was the first time he had ever seen Mateo’s parents in person. Since Matteo was his cousin, then the woman must be his mom's sister, his aunt. Josh also noticed a resemblance between her and him, it was subtle but still noticeable. Mr. Ramirez turned to them. “I have spoken to the doctor. He is stable… we’ll be able to see him soon.”A shaky breath of relief escaped Dean's mouth. “Thank God.”Catalina clutched her husband’s arm, but the worry in

Reaper stepped back, yanking the knife free from Mateo's side.Mateo staggered backward, his hand instinctively flying to his side, pressing against the wound. He felt weak, struggling to stay on his feet.Warm blood seeped between his fingers. His breath came out in uneven gasps, his body refusing to keep up with what had just happened. He did not think Reaper would pull a knife and take this too far.Josh was in shock for 5 full seconds,but as soon as he was back to his senses he called out, “Mateo!” He lunged forward, catching his cousin before he could collapse completely.The garage fell into stunned silence. Even The Ghosts looked momentarily unsure, shifting uncomfortably as if they hadn't expected Reaper to take it this far.Leo swore under his breath and rushed to Mateo’s side. “Shit. Quick, we need to get him out of here. Now.”Dante, who had been frozen in shock, suddenly snapped back to reality. He turned to Reaper, his expression unreadable. “What the fuck did you just do

Mateo exhaled loudly, his irritation evident. “I can’t believe Dante invited those guys,” he muttered, shaking his head.Just then, as if summoned by the complaint, a man around Mateo’s age approached them. “What’s up, fellas?” he greeted cheerfully, completely ignorant to Mateo’s scowl.Mateo frowned as he glared at him. “Dante, what the fuck! You invited that guy here?” He asked angrily, but in a hushed tone. Dante frowned. “What are you talking about?” Mateo gestured toward the Ghosts with a glare. “Why the hell are they here?”“Oh, you mean Reaper and his friends?” Dante rubbed the back of his neck, realizing what he had done by inviting Reaper here. He didn't think Mateo would be here when he invited Reaper. But now, he realized that he shouldn't have, not only was Mateo probably feeling betrayed by him, but the whole party was nervous and they were right to be so. “Yeah… I told them to stop by.” Dante replied.“Why?”Dante sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Look, it’

Four people walked through the door, and strolled in like they owned the place.Josh didn’t recognize them, but the party’s reaction told him everything he needed to know. These guys weren’t just regular party guests.He overheard snippets of whispers around him. Everyone was surprisingly talking about how much trouble these guys were. That they shouldn't be here.“Shit, what are they doing here?” Someone asked irritably.“Who the hell invited the ghosts here?”“This is about to get messy…”As Josh listened more he caught the name. The four guys who walked in were members of The Ghosts, a gang known for their ruthless reputation and the fear they left in their wake.They weren’t just infamous, they were the kind of people no one wanted to cross. Wherever they showed up, trouble followed, and from the way the entire party fell silent, it was clear everyone knew it.The group walked in confidently, completely unfazed by the attention they were getting. One of them, a tall guy, known as

Josh's eyes widened slightly at Mae's question. What made her think she was a De La Cruz? Well, the De La Cruz family was one of the college's sponsors, so it wasn’t surprising that some people might assume things.Plus, Mae didn't assume anything wrong. Still, no one was supposed to know he was a De La Cruz, yet.Just as Josh was about to answer Mae’s question, the professor’s voice sounded in their ears."New girl, Mr. Josh, if you're done with your little conversation, perhaps you’d like to pay attention to the lesson?" The professor sad sternly.Josh immediately turned back to face the front, straightening in his seat. Mae also did the same, however there was an amused glint in her eyes.Josh exhaled quietly. He was glad that the professor had intervened because that was close. He wasn’t sure how much Mae actually knew about him, but for now, the topic had been dropped, at least for the moment.After classes ended, Josh left campus and arrived home in the evening. The moment he s

“Uh... umm...” The student stammered, his earlier confidence disappearing. Josh’s calm yet commanding demeanor, his unblinking gaze, and the way he stood there , blocking his exit, made it clear this wasn’t the same Josh they were used to seeing. He was scary.Kathy scoffed, leaning forward with a look of smug amusement. "Oh? Or what?" she challenged, her voice still filled with mockery. "What’s your next move if he doesn’t pick it up?”Josh’s eyes shot to her briefly before he replied simply, “You’ll see.”“Is that a threat?”At that immediate moment, right behind Josh, the principal entered as well. His expression remained unreadable as he scanned the room before his gaze landed on Kathy."Kathy.” He called out to her, and without any hesitation he said, “You're expelled from this university.”Kathy felt the blood drain from her face upon hearing the principal's words. “Excuse me?” Her voice broke as the words sank in. She blinked rapidly, sure she must have misheard him. Expelled?

A murmur of confusion filled the lecture hall upon hearing Josh's bold words. A few students exchanged uncertain glances. It was hard to tell if he was simply putting on an act to show off to Mae, or if he was being serious. They were certain at first that he was putting on an act, however now they weren't any more. No one would be this confident when their future was on the line, especially someone like Josh, who supposedly had everything to lose.“What does that mean?” someone whispered.“Is he still pretending?” another scoffed, though there was a slight hesitation in their voice now. The initial impression that Josh was acting had started to crack, and the possibility that he might actually be serious lingered.Kathy, too, hesitated for a brief moment, her smirk wavering slightly as she considered the possibility that Josh might actually be serious.But she caught herself quickly, rolling her eyes. “Please,” she scoffed. “You’re just embarrassing yourself at this point.”Just t

Kathy's eyes snapped to Josh, her glare sharp as she processed his words. When she threatened to have him kicked out of college, she expected him to be so afraid. After all, Josh valued his education so much and he would do anything to not get kicked out of the only college that accepted him. It was his only escape from the poverty he was trapped in, and he would do whatever it took to stay enrolled.But his response wasn’t what she expected.What did he just say? The audacity of him to speak to her, as if he were her equal? As if he had the right to challenge her?In reality Josh wasn't even close to being her equal, he was nothing but a pauper, and so seeing him try to challenge her, annoyed her.And it wasn’t just her. The entire lecture hall seemed to be stunned into silence.Josh wasn’t known for standing up for himself before. He was supposed to keep his head down, to be grateful for even being here. But now? Now he was looking at her like she was the inferior one.It was immed
The Lost Son's Return Chapter 179
Having had enough, Josh was about to react. His fingers formed into fists and clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. His jaw was locked, barely containing the words he wanted to spit back at Kathy and the rest of them.But just as he was about to unleash everything he was holding back, his attention was drawn elsewhere when someone called out to him.“Josh!” a familiar voice echoed from the doorway. Josh’s head snapped toward the sound, his eyes widening as he spotted Mae walking into the lecture hall. He was taken aback. What was she doing here in his class?The whole class turned to see who had interrupted them just as they were about to get what they wanted: Josh's reaction. And to their surprise, it was a pretty girl, around twenty years of age. Mae stood there, her gaze fixed on Josh, a friendly smile lighting up her face as she approached him.The atmosphere in the room shifted. Who was this girl, and how did she know this loser Josh?What surprised them even more was
