Doctor Dolores just froze when she heard Nicko’s statement. This woman, who always looks dignified, looks down and fixes the button of her open shirt.

“Damn it! How dare he say no to me,” she cursed in her heart.

Secretly, she glanced at the young man who now left her to see his wife, who was seen at the end. Snorting in annoyance, this doctor stepped into her unit on the seventeenth floor.

“Hey honey, I’m done looking around with Mrs. Smith. The unit is very nice and the furniture is complete too,” Jo explained enthusiastically as her husband came closer.

“You like this place?” Nicko said with a bit of disagreement. The incident that had just happened to him with doctor Ryan made him feel uncomfortable.

Of course, he was a little afraid of having to live here and share the sa

Along the way to his cell, he had seen things that were not pleasant.He saw several inmates squinting at him. It was as if they were all planning something to welcome his arrival. This Hispanic man looked around the room measuring 2x3 meters. Then he sat on his minimalist bed, which was far from comfortable.“Huh, how can I sleep when I have to be next to the toilet like this,” he grumbled.This man sat on the edge of th

  • The Pride   220. A Newcomer

    Armando looked awkward and lonely on his new resident. He had no one to talk to. More precisely, he was reluctant to mingle with the other prisoners.The man who is used to living in luxury also looks at the food on the tray with no appetite. Two slices of crusty bread, pea soup and a box of milk didn’t appeal to him at all.“Don’t you have fish or steak here?” Armando muttered while carrying a tray. Another prisoner, who was sitting at the dining table with his group, heard Armando’s mumbling.“Hey new kid? Do you think this is a five-star hotel, so you can ask for the food you like?” one prisoner sneered as he poked Armando’s shoulder.Seeing the treatment of the prisoners who reprimanded him frankly made Armando feel uncomfortable. Especially when looking at the man who reprimanded him.

    Armando stood up, folding his arms in front of his chest, holding his arms. While other prisoners seemed to whisper while looking at the new arrivals in prison.Some couldn’t hide their laughter, and showed that they couldn’t get along.“Why are they even laughing,” Armando thought.“Your majesty’s newcomer, what on earth brought you here?” a prisoner asked in a theatrical tone as if he was playing Romeo in a Shakespearean drama.Of course, the man’s behavior invites another laugh. Almost all of them seemed curious about the reason Armando was taken into custody.But not with Big Guy, because he already knew it from the warden. Followed by his men, the guard stepped closer to Armando. The atmosphere that had been lively filled with laughter suddenly became quiet, as Big Guy’s steps

    Along with the sound of the whistle, a group of security guards entered the dining room to secure the situation. Armando, Big Guy and his men were taken to the prison chief’s office.For Big Guy and his men, being in the warden’s office was not their first experience. Someone well known to them as troublemakers in the prison area.Big Guy group is no longer afraid to face the prison head, including sanctions for entering the isolation room. The injured and hungry Armando also looked a little scared, very different from Big Guy’s group.“What are you guys fussing about?” the bespectacled middle-aged man who was the warden asked.With a weak body and voice, Armando tried to get a sympathy from the warden in order to give punishment to the man who ganged up on him. While holding his stomach, which had received repeated attacks f

    Teet!Armando got up from his sleep on the barrack bed, which was far from soft, more like a stretcher immediately. The deafening sound of sirens and dazzling white lights shone on his face.“Yes Sir, I’m a prisoner by the name of Armando Blanc from Block two,” he said as he leaned closer to the microphone on the wall.Since being in a dark and damp isolation room, Armando had to report every time he heard the sirene. To show that he was still in a good health while receiving punishment for reflecting on his mistakes.However, for a prisoner, it was hell and really depressed him. Especially for people who are used to luxury and get services like Armando.His normally burly and mighty stature turned limp, probably losing a lot of weight. Even walking there is no enthusiasm. The only thing that still keeps him alive in

Of course, your salary will be large and you can give money to your wife, not just relying on it. Aren’t you ashamed all your life just depending on her?” This time Edmund follows the conversation.“Now what are you waiting for, quickly do as I command!” Daisy exclaimed.Nicko narrowed his eyes again. He had noticed that his father- and mother-in-law seemed rushed in giving orders.“Do they mean to separate me and my wife? Hmm, this can’t be allowed. Okay, I’ll play with them,” Nicko thought.“Hmm, big salary and top position, huh?” Nicko mumbled, and purposely did it out loud.It&rsqu

    “Hey Jo, what are you talking about, no one goes to the cruise ship,” Daisy, who looked awkward, said.“Don’t lie, Mom. I’ve heard all your conversations. I will not separate from my husband,” Jo replied curtly.Seeing Jo’s reaction, Daisy couldn’t help but tell the truth. But still shows his initial intention to pit Nicko against his daughter to get them divorced.“Jo, I’m doing this for you. I want you to be happy,” Daisy said.“I’m happy, if I’m with my husband.”Nicko immediately put his arm around his wife’s shoulders and kissed the crown of her head again.

How long are you going to sleep all the time?” Screams sounded clear in his ears as he was sleeping in his cell bed, which looked more comfortable than the isolation room.Slowly, he opened his eyes and found two prison guards standing in front of him.“Looks like he’s comfortable here!” one of them exclaimed while looking at Armando.“Wake up! Someone’s coming to visit you!” one guard snapped.“What time is it now?” Armando asked with a slight yawn. But his eyes seemed to sparkle when he heard someone visited him.Even though the grudge still smolders in him, it was undeniable that he was lonely.

    "So this is your doing?" asked Nicko angrily. This time her face was red and her eyes were staring intently ahead."Ha ha ha why? Does this sound painful to you? It's good that this sounds painful to you. At least this way you will know who you are dealing with, and you can think again about betraying my daughter!”Watson, you! Nicko rage. This time he was really angry that he couldn't say anything else. His hands began to clench tightly and cursed at the man who called him. No one ever thought that Robert Watson, Camilla's father, was involved in kidnapping his wife and child now.“You bastard Watson, what do you want! I warned you that I would never betray your daughter. It was just a silly game in childhood!” Nick replied.“Silly childhood game you say? It's a shame that until now my daughter still expects you and I still think of you as my son-in-law. I rejected several men including Matthew Young who is now completely independent for you but instead you maintain your stupid marri

    The man Josephine knew folded his arms across his chest and walked over to Josephine. "You wanna know why I'm here? Of course because I want to meet you sweetheart.”Of course, that man was Gerlad Jones, the most selfish man Josephine had ever known.“Aren't you tired of bothering me all the time? Don't you already know that you and I are no longer related?" Josephine replied curtly.Gerald immediately crouched down and leveled his position with Josephine. This time he gently touched Josephine's cheek and disgusted her former lover.Josephine seemed to push away Gerald's hand which kept trying to touch her. The more Josephine dodged the more he liked to tease her.“Your skin is still smooth and soft, only now you are a little different. You seem a bit stocky. Is it possible that you're already pregnant with that jerk's child?” asked Gerald as he whispered in Josephine's ear and started licking it.Josephine shuddered in horror, she almost admitted that she was now pregnant.

This time they were only accompanied by Jacklyn and Owen's bodyguards Ian and Jo.It seemed that it had been quite a while since Josephine had spent the three of them together like she was now. Lately, Nicko has been busy with all his own activities and also the world of medicine that he just got. Now they also thought of taking a break, after all last night Jo had said that she wanted to share.With the help of Owen and Jacklyn, they spread out a table and put some food boxes there which will be given to anyone who needs them for free. This time it wasn't just Jo who looked so happy, but also Ian, because he hadn't spent time with his adoptive father in a long time.As soon as Nicko finished clearing the table and putting down some food, a middle-aged woman in shabby clothes came up to them. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he seemed to be a homeless person."Sir, is this given for free?" the woman ask

    At this time Andrew Young really pressed. He really didn't expect that he would suffer such a fate.The person he once underestimated suddenly turned things around in just a few minutes. In the past, he underestimated the Watson family because they had an economy class below him.Especially with Nicko, he had never taken the young man into account at all. Precisely thinks Nicko is like a pest that must be eradicated immediately. But now he is the pest. Even Chuck who became his ally also blamed him.“Chuck, you don't think about me anymore? Don't you remember our previous good relationship?" asked Master Young in a voice that sounded quivering with sorrow.Chuck shook his head and said again, “Didn't you hear what my uncle said earlier? We Watsons absolutely do not welcome a liar. Now you better get out of here!”"Chuck you,—" Andrew no longer continued his words. Instantly his lips were numb and could not say anything else.It was then that Mr. Watson immediately called his housekeep

    Andrew Young's body suddenly felt stiff and weak. Now he has no money anymore and it hurts a lot. Now that he heard the news that his youngest son had committed suicide, his life was completely ruined at this point.With unsteady steps, he walked towards the stage again. At that time he had seen the ravaged state. Everything was full of trash and no one was there.He walked unsteadily, but suddenly a waiter came to chase him, "Sorry Mr. Young, this is the bill for tonight's event!"It was then that Andrew Young immediately patted his forehead and muttered that he had almost forgotten the bill he had to pay off. When renting this place, he only paid half of the total banking services ordered by him.Currently, he can still breathe a sigh of relief because, in his account balance, there is still money remaining for the cost of paying off this event. But after that, he didn't know what to do. Not even sure I could buy a plane ticket back to Northern Hill.The only way back to Northern Hi

    Andrew Young was struck by the statement of his former bodyguard. What's more, they actually restrained him and made him no longer able to move and bait the people who were now hunting him.In fact, now that he's really stuck, no one can help him. Wanted to scream and ask Matthew for help but now the young man is not with him anymore. Then, Mr Watson, he should be a man he can rely on. While Chuck is actually an ally of his. But their positions were too far away and it was impossible for her to scream.Even if he had shouted for their help, before Chuck had come here he would have been battered and bruised.Now all he could do was bully his former bodyguard again into protecting him. The bodyguards he had dismissed were a bunch of chubby bums. By giving them even a glimmer of hope, they would definitely move to protect him, no matter how difficult the obstacles he had to face.“Hey you guys, quickly save me! Do your duty as a bodyguard. Don't act stupid and piss me off so you guys tot

He kept calling her and asking her to come back.But unfortunately, when he just got off the stage he was intercepted by several people who had bought the medicine.One of them is Mr. Austin. He stood holding out his hand and blocking her from leaving. "Where are you going? Immediately take responsibility for what you have done to us! Give us our money back!”Some who had bought the drug also helped Mr Austin. They all seemed to surround him.“Quickly give us our money back!” cried the people shouting angrily.Andrew Young actually shook his head and tried to refuse, "No...no, you already know that if the items that have been purchased cannot be returned."But the people didn't want to understand and said to him loudly, “No you can't, this money has to be returned because you have committed fraud.

    Andrew Young smiled and shook his head, “Of course not sir. That price is a very commensurate price for what you get.”“Humph, you must want to rob us by paying such a large fee! I don't want to buy!” exclaimed one of the visitors.Andrew Young smiled sarcastically and said, “I have no intention of robbing you. I set a fair price as you can see at Mr. Watson's birthday party, and also the changes in me. You all have even touched me and felt the difference. So I think 2.5 billion is really worth it.”The visitors who surrounded him also spoke like a buzzing beetle. After that, he spoke again by giving an explanation of everything. “Don't all of you know that in our youth we spend a lot of time working hard, thinking about many things even makes us forget to eat and lack sleep. Often we have to eat fast food to save time. Don't you all realize the consequences of our old habits? Gradually everything becomes a disease that accumulates and paralyzes the cells in our body.
