Derek, Charles and Mrs. Theresa were in the private hangar of Metro City's airport, ready to board Derek's private jet. Just then, Charles received a notification on his phone."Brother Derek, I just received a text from Oliver. He's making his way to the airport." reported Charles. "Understood. We will wait for him to arrive." replied Derek.Thirty minutes later, a brand new Mercedes C-Class pulled up about fifty feet from the jet.When the door opened, out walked Oliver, much to the surprise of Mrs. Theresa. "Oliver, where did you get this expensive car?" she asked Oliver."Care to guess, Mrs. Theresa?" replied Oliver, glancing towards Derek and Charles.Mrs. Theresa turned her attention to Derek and Charles, who could only shrug their shoulders. "We have set him up financially. It's the least we could do." said Derek."It's too much, Young Master Derek. You might spoil him." said Mrs. Theresa."Haha, rest assured, Mrs. Theresa, Oliver is a smart man. He has assured us he will grow
It was back to Metro Motors for Oliver and his team. Within thirty minutes, all five new cars were parked at the VIP carpark lots provided by Irin. When Oliver and his team exited their cars and walked to the entrance, they noticed Irin already standing at the door, waiting to greet them. "Good morning, Ms. Lorraine and team. Welcome back." greeted Irin. "Good morning to you too, Irin. Is Sharon on her way with her boss?" asked Lorraine. "She is making the necessary transport arrangements. They should be arriving within the hour." replied Irin. "Good. That gives us an hour to make our own preparations." said Oliver. "Let's get going, then." said Mitchell. All of them then entered the VIP lounge and unloaded the necessary equipment and papers. "Tanya, is the necessary paperwork ready?" asked Lorraine. "The documents are prepared and here on the table." replied Tanya. "I have the screenshots of all the fraudulent transactions compiled into a slideshow." reported Yuriko. "On my
In the Smith household in Townsville, Madam Louise Smith was in her study, looking through some family albums and reminiscing her past. Looking at the recent photos she took with her family members, she felt a sense of gratitude and joy. *Knock knock* "Hi, grandma!" A voice sounded from the door of her study. Madam Louise turned towards the door and smiled at the people standing there. "Charles. Derek. It's so nice to see you both. Please, come in." greeted Madam Louise as she stood up and walked towards the door, embracing both her grandsons when she was there. "What brings you both here at this time of the night? Are your wives aware of this visit?" asked Madam Louise. "Of course they are, grandma. It's been some time since we visited you. Amanda had to take care of Davina; but she sends her best wishes." replied Derek. "Esther is in the Phoenix Bunker, going through some research with the Phoenix Mafia. She sends her best wishes too." added Charles. "How's Peter and Lea? I h
..*Splash* The cold, icy feel of the water splashed on Oliver Reed shocked him awake. Oliver sat up immediately upon getting splashed awake. When he sat up and opened his eyes to get his bearings, he noticed he was naked, covered by a bedsheet in a hotel room. "What the hell? Where am I? Why am I naked in this room?" Oliver was too shocked to understand the situation surrounding him. He then turned to his left; and to his utter shock, there was a young woman, with a towel wrapped around her body, sitting on the edge of the bed beside him. "Woken up, already? You cheating bastard!!" a lady standing in front of them screamed out loud. Oliver turned his attention to the front of him and saw his wife, Christina Conners standing in front of him. Christina then turned to the woman who was sitting on the bed and said, "You may go. Thanks for your help." The woman nodded and walked out of the hotel room. "What the hell is going on, Christina? Do you know this woman?" Oliver asked in
“Well, Mr. Reed, I don’t know how to say this; but your outstanding payment has been cleared. Also, I have a package on my table that is directed to you.""Could you come to the hospital and retrieve it from my desk?” said the receptionist. Those words sent shockwaves of confusion to Oliver. How was the two-million-dollar debt required to treat Mrs. Theresa cleared? Who was his newfound guardian angel? “Err… ok. I’ll make my way over right now.” Replied Oliver. He reached into his pocket and took out whatever cash he had left.After counting it, he realized that he had enough to take a bus to the hospital. Without hesitation, Oliver made his way to the bus stop and took the bus to the hospital.After the most uncomfortable forty-minute bus ride of his life, Oliver alighted the bus and with his plastic bag in tow, walked to the reception, where the receptionist who called him was waiting. “Hi, I have a package to collect. I’m Oliver Reed.” Oliver greeted the receptionist. “Mr. Reed
The journey to Quinton Hotel MC was quite a long one from Metro City Hospital; but Oliver was excited about staying there, at least for the night. After everything he went through over the last few hours, a good night’s sleep was what he needed; and he had Derek Quinton to thank, even though he did not know that Derek was a Quinton and not a Smith. When the taxi was nearing the entrance of the hotel, Oliver took a moment to soak in the sights of the exterior of the hotel. Never before had Oliver been able to witness a six-star hotel in person. This night was the first for him. After using his card to pay for the fare, Oliver made his way to the front door, eager to enter the hotel. However, before he could come close to the front door, the bell boy stopped him in his tracks. “Excuse me, can I help you?” asked the bell boy, suspicious of Oliver’s attire.“Yes, where is the reception? I’m checking in for the night. At least just for tonight.” replied Oliver, aware that the bell
"Why did I slap you?!? What nerve you have to ask me that question!!" Carson shouted back at his bell boy in anger. "Do you even know what you have done?!?" "What did I do to anger you, Mr. Stevens? This is obviously a poor loser impersonating as a VIP." the bell boy was still unrepentant."First, you lied to that person there that you contacted me. Then you kept mocking him and calling him names.""Even if he is not a VIP, is that how you treat anyone coming to our hotel?!? Or in life for that matter?" Carson snarled back."What's worse is that you have offended someone that should never be offended. You want to cost me my job!!""That's it! I have had enough of your antics! As of right now... YOU'RE FIRED!!!" Carson screamed at the bell boy.The bell boy sat on the ground, shell shocked at the reality that he just lost his job. He was in a daze, so much so he started to feel his head spin. Carson then walked to Oliver and bowed towards him."I'm so sorry for this inconvenience caus
Soon, the Rolls Royce arrived at the highest end mall in Metro City, named The Diamond Sands. When the Rolls Royce reached the valet drop off point, the mall valet crew opened the doors for Oliver and Carson to exit the car. "Greetings, Mr. Carson. Welcome back to the Diamond Sands." greeted one of the valet crew members. " I see that you have brought a guest with you." "Greetings, Nora. Good to see you again. I have my guest Oliver Reed with me today. You will show him the same level of respect as you always have shown me." replied Carson with authority. "Certainly, Mr. Carson. Please allow me to escort you and your guests to your store of choice." replied Nora humbly. Within five minutes, Nora escorted Oliver and Carson to the shop Carson was looking for. It was a fancy, mega tailor suit boutique called Tresser, owned by someone that Oliver recognized as he walked into the boutique. "Mr. Carson. Welcome back to my shop." greeted the owner. "Always a pleasure to be here." replie
It was back to Metro Motors for Oliver and his team. Within thirty minutes, all five new cars were parked at the VIP carpark lots provided by Irin. When Oliver and his team exited their cars and walked to the entrance, they noticed Irin already standing at the door, waiting to greet them. "Good morning, Ms. Lorraine and team.

Derek, Charles and Mrs. Theresa were in the private hangar of Metro City's airport, ready to board Derek's private jet. Just then, Charles received a notification on his phone."Brother Derek, I just received a text from Oliver. He's making his way to the airport." reported Charles. "Understood. We will wait for him to arrive." replied Derek.Thirty minutes later, a brand new Mercedes C-Class pulled up about fifty feet from the jet.When the door opened, out walked Oliver, much to the surprise of Mrs. Theresa.

You might spoil him." said Mrs. Theresa."Haha, rest assured, Mrs. Theresa, Oliver is a smart man. He has assured us he will grow
Irin then excused herself and went out of the lounge to look for Sharon. A few minutes later, Irin returned to the VIP lounge with Sharon in tow. She was surprised to see Oliver in the room, along with Lorraine and the Trident. "I know who you all are. Ms. Lorraine Mensah and your elite team. You are prominent staff of QS Holdings. It is such and honour to meet you all. Oliver, you work for Trilliant Holdings too?" Sharon asked in surprise. "Indeed, I do. I am Ms. Lorraine's assistant." replied Oliver, still not wanting to reveal his true identity to Sharon. "Sharon, I called you in to apologize to you for my ex-staff Brandon's unprofessional behaviour. I said ex-staff because he just got fired." explained Irin. "To make it up to you, QS Holdings has agreed to pay for whatever car you wish to purchase from Metro Motors." added Lorraine. Sharon went weak in her knees with tears in her eyes upon hearing what Irin and Lorraine said to her. She was about to fall when Yuriko noticed a
Oliver was in awe of the showroom cars that he was not paying attention to where he was heading. In the next moment, he accidentally bumped into someone coming from the opposite direction. "Oh, I'm so sorry." Oliver apologised to the person he bumped into. "Please forgive me for not paying attention." In the next moment, Oliver was in a loss of words. It turned out he bumped into a lady who, in his eyes, was the most beautiful woman he had seen, much prettier than his ex-wife, Christina. The woman had sharp facial features, long blonde hair; and was in a stunning white dress that showed her slim, yet sexy figure. The woman, seeing Oliver's reaction, blushed slightly before replying, "It's ok, mister. I was paying attention to my phone. I should have been more careful." "I understand. Oh no, did I stain your dress?" asked Oliver, noticing a stain on her dress. "Oh, no. That was a stain from earlier. There was an idiotic employee of the showroom who was not looking and he knocked
Upon reaching QS Tower, Oliver was on his way to his private lift, when from a distance, he noticed Lorraine and her team having breakfast in the cafeteria. Curious, Oliver decided to join them. "Morning, team." greeted Oliver. "Morning, Oliver. Please, join us for breakfast." replied Lorraine. "Just as well, I have yet to have breakfast. What are you guys eating?" asked Oliver. "I always love the sandwich toast set meal that they have here." said Mitchell. "They have the best scrambled eggs I have ever eaten." said Yuriko. "What about you, Oliver? What are you going to have?" asked Tanya. "Well, I see a breakfast set available. I think I'm going to have that." replied Oliver. Ten minutes later, Oliver was enjoying his breakfast together with Lorraine, Mitchell, Yuriko and Tanya. Just then, Oliver spotted Ian and Rose heading to the cafeteria together, in high spirits no less. When they saw Oliver, they waved to him with smiles on their faces. "Morning, Oliver. Oh, good morning
The next morning, while washing up and getting ready for his first real day at QS Holdings, Oliver received a call from the Metro City Hospital, stating Mrs. Theresa has woken from her treatment."That's good news. I'll make my way to visit her right away." said Oliver before hanging up.In the next moment, he called Derek and Charles to meet him at the hospital, knowing Derek and Charles were flying back to Townsville the next day.About forty minutes later, Oliver arrived at the entrance, with some transport assistance provided by Carson. He saw Derek and Charles waiting at the reception and went over to greet them."Morning, brothers. It's time to introduce you to my benefactor, Mrs. Theresa." said Oliver."We never got to see her when we helped clear her medical debt. So, it's our honour and priviledge to meet her." replied Derek.All three of them made their way to Mrs. Theresa's ward, where she was seated upright and eating something light for her stomach."Hi, Mrs. Theresa. I'm
Dropping to his knees, Abraham kowtowed to Oliver, begging for mercy, "Mr. Reed. I'm so sorry for what my son has done to offend you!" "Please, I beg you. Please let this matter rest! Please do not withdraw your funding to us!" Abraham begged profusely. "Dad, what are you doing? Why are you begging to this loser?" Barry asked unrepentantly. Hearing that, Abraham stood up and gave his son two hard slaps across the face, stunning everyone in the room, including Barry. "Shut up, you unfilial piece of shit! Do you still not get it? Mr. Reed is the related to Don Charles's family... meaning his name is Oliver Smith. OLIVER SMITH!!" shouted Abraham. "What? He is Oliver Smith? How is this possible? This can't be!" replied a shocked Barry. He was in denial that the same Oliver his girlfriend led him to believe was a pauper was actually the most powerful person in Metro City. In the next instant, Barry went weak in the knees and found himself subconsciously kneeling in front of Oliver,
In the VIP room, Mr. Ulrich assisted Oliver in cashing in the cheque he presented to open his account with the bank. Oliver, Derek, Charles and Carson watched with close scrutiny, just like how Mr. Ulrich was scrutinising the cheque earlier. "All done, Mr. Reed. Your account is officially opened. Is there anything else I can help you with?" asked Mr. Ulrich. "Actually, there is, Rome." Carson replied on Oliver's behalf. "Under no circumstances will you disclose Mr Reed's true identity. Do I make myself clear?" "Crystal clear, Carson. To be honest, I am surprised to learn that Mr. Reed's real identity is the relative to the Quinton and Smith family in Townsville." "If I may, Mr. Reed, everyone in Metro City still looks at you as the disgraced and exiled son-in-law of the Connors. If your goal is payback on everyone who has wronged you, you have a long road ahead of you." advised Rome Ulrich. "I am well aware, Mr. Ulrich. Thank you for your advice. I may need your assistance in th
"Oh, what are you doing back here?" the bank teller moaned as he saw Oliver approach his station. "Did you not learn your lesson the last time?""Well, last time I checked, I am a customer. Is this the level of customer service that this bank shows to its customers?" Oliver asked nonchalantly."Don't waste your time with such trash, Duke." said the manager of the bank as he walked over to Duke's teller station."You, the disgraced, useless former son-in-law of the Connors. You have a lot of cheek to show your face here!" the manager, Konan said out loud."Wait, boss. Did you say 'former son-in-law'?" Duke asked in surprise."Yes, Duke. Did you not know? He was unceremoniusly divorced from his wife. Apparently, he was caught cheating on his wife." Konan answered arrogantly. "Not only that, his boss found out and he fired his ass."Oliver was frowning at the arrogant Konan, "I was set up by that bitch Lacy Connors." he was vehemently defending himself."Hah. Like anyone would believe yo
