Chapter 58From the man's vantage point in the shadow, he watched his wife and her friend intently. He noticed something had changed, their expression was different.Though the man doesn't know much about women's attitudes seeing the serious look on the two women he is sure that something is off between them.He could sense the change of atmosphere had shifted, the laughter and joy they had when they were coming to the museum had been replaced by a tension that hung in the air like a looming thunderstorm.“Mister, would you like to check out Vip painting?” One of the workers said as she stood in front of the man who was not even able to hear someone speaking to him as his attention was fully fixed on the other two people at a particular place.“You can leave, My master will check it out when he's less busy….” Butler Lee was unable to finish his words when he was interrupted.“I won't be checking anything here,” Lucien coldly stated without sparing the worker a glimpse rather he just c
Chapter 59DAYS AGO AT THE LUXEMBOURGAn old man sat on his favorite chair, his arm resting on the armrest which had the sphygmomanometer's cuff wrapped snugly around his upper hand while watching the TV in front of him.The old man's gaze was thoroughly fixed on the TV in his Front, his attention drawn to the unfolding drama. A group of gray-haired actors were arguing about minor over some minor disagreement, their words rising in volume as the tension mounted.“I see, but don't you think they could have done better without the high argument between them? When I'm saying they could have done better I mean very well,” The old man said with his gaze not leaving the TV.There were two people inside the sitting room but the closest one must give a reply to the old man or else that could lead to another dramatic scene from the Old. The closest one to the man was his doctor who was right beside him.The doctor, a very Young Man with kind eyes and a cool demeanor had wrapped the cuff with c
Chapter 60“Slap or pinch?” Lucien asked again, he clearly understood the old man could be overjoyed, which is why he couldn't stop thinking whether it was a dream or not.“P…pinch,” Grandpa Smith stuttered as he awaited for whatever Lucien was up to.Almost immediately, while still doing the video call, Lucien brought out his cell phone and dialed a number which instantly rang behind the old man.“Master, Mr. Lucien is calling my cell phone,” Steward Gu said behind the old man's back.“Huh, why would he be calling you when he's doing a video call with me here?” Grandpa Smith stuttered as he returned his gaze to the screen.The screen was much clearer that the old man could view what Lucien was doing and truly he was on his cellphone.“Son, why are you calling steward Gu?” Grandpa Smith asked.“Don't you wanna know whether you are dreaming or not? Tell steward Gu to pick up the call!” Lucien's response was a little bit cold and confusing to the old man but that was just a little bit o
Chapter 61PENTHOUSE A lot of things have been on Avery right from the moment she got back from Paris, she has been expecting to get a call or anything else from Sophia but yet nothing.She made her way to the sitting room gracefully, her silver shimmering dress was well adorned on her and well fitted. One thing Avery enjoyed most in her current body was how she never lacked clothes, there were different varieties of clothes and dresses for different occasions.Some of the clothes industries that Eileen works for would always send in different varieties of clothes that are worth more than she could imagine. Even there were clothes that the previous owner brought with thousands of dollars and claimed it was outdated whereas the dress would always scream sophistication whenever it was put on.Even though it was someone else's life she was living, she wouldn't want it to be over anytime soon.The lace sleeves and the bodice glittered with tiny crystals as she walked under the light of t
Chapter 62“Grandpa, is there anything you're hiding from me?” She asked in a suspicious tone.“Nooo! What could I possibly hide from you, There's nothing,” Grandpa Smith mumbled and almost immediately Steward Gu rushed towards the man and whispered some words into the old man's ears which made the old man's face dilate in bewilderment.Grandpa Smith pushed the woman to the nearest couch and rushed towards the outside with Steward Gu following behind.Mrs. Smith was so furious as she watched Grandpa Smith's retracting figure and went back upstairs to look for a good husband that people would have thought didn't even exist.“Where is my husband?” She asked the maid she met along the way and could see the maid shivering the moment she asked.“Wait…. Are you dumb? I asked you a freaking question but here you're contemplating you should answer? Do you want to lose your job?!” Mrs Smith flared at the maid who instantly started speaking the moment she heard her job being mentioned.“Mr Smit
Chapter 63The old man stuffed out of the mansion, his, his stick clicking against the marble floor as he made his way to the front door. He opened it, his eyes widening as he took in the scene unfolding before him.His two grandson stood there, their faces twisted with rage as they circled each other like two predators, their fists clenched at their sides. He was aware of every little behavior of his two grandson's, he knew one value public image and wouldn't start a fist fight while the other careless about all those and let anger led him astray.The sound of the old man's walking stick echoed through the thin air, it's sharp tap-tap-tap cutting through the silence like a whip. The two Men paused, and gaze at the direction of the noise, and just like Lucien expected, it was his grandfather.“And what the hell is going on here?!” The old man roared furiously, by now each members of the invited relatives were already outside.“ I and my younger brother has an unfinished business which
Chapter 64“You!” The moment she set her gaze on Avery.The lady's demeanor shifted in an instant, her expression crumpling into one of mock-sadness. She sniffled loudly, crocodile tears welling in her eyes as she gazed up at her brother with a look of heartbroken betrayal."Brother," she sobbed, her voice dripping with false sorrow. "Why would you marry someone more beautiful than me? I'm your sister, your flesh and blood! Don't I deserve the same happiness?"Her brother looked at her, his brow furrowed in confusion. "What are you talking about, Stephanie?" he asked. "We're family.Lucien was beyond shock, he knew how crazy his sister was but he never expected her to say such publicly.Stephanie wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, her expression shifting again, this time into one of indignant outrage. "Family?" she spat. "So it's fine for you to marry someone more beautiful than me, just because we're family? That's not fair, brother! You should have consider me first!"A
Chapter 65Lucien's expression shifted, his eyes narrowing as he registered the simmering anger in his wife's gaze. He knew she was hurt, that his actions had wounded her deeply, and he was determined to make it right.Without warning, he swooped in, his strong arms encircling her waist as he hoisted her into the air, cradling her against his chest. She gasped in surprise, her eyes widening as she found herself suddenly weightless, held securely in her husband's embrace.“I'm sorry,” The man muttered an apology, his voice tinged with remorse as he strode towards the mansion. “That's my son!”Mr Smith said with the thought that his grandson was exactly like him during his teenager days but just a look from his wife who was opposite The woman still held in his arms. His eyes were fixed on the where he was going,his jaw clenched with determination as he weaved his way through the people along the way. The man could feel the gaze of the woman on him which instantly tensed and coiled his
