Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commonerย ย ย Chapter 39: Greeting
โSAPPHIRE,โ Harvey mumbled, gritting his teeth in annoyance as he snapped his neck, trying to calm himself down. It was Sapphire Remington who dared to interrupt him from hurting August, and also the one who threw the dagger to stab his right-hand man. He closed his eyes for a while and did three deep breaths before he looked at Sapphire. Sapphire, on the other hand, felt the opposite of annoyanceโ enjoyment. Her eyes flickered between Harvey and Mateo, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips as she noticed how Mateo flinched in pain because of what she did.โWhy are you here?โ Harvey asked. Still, annoyance was evident in his voice.โUh, because this is my house?โ Sapphire answered sarcastically as a smirk escaped from her lips. Both her hands were crossed onto her chest as she raised a brow. โAnd I was just looking for a place where I could rest. I didnโt even know that something was going on here.โOf course, it was a lie.And of course, Harvey wasnโt stupid to know it.โLiar

โYOU DISRESPECTFUL and ungrateful child! Donโt you have any manners on how to be a good visitor when youโre in someoneโs house? Did Sherry teach you that way?!โ Charles scolded Harvey, who held onto his right cheek as his skin felt stung. "No, dadโ" Harvey was about to explain, but Charles continued interrupting him. "Do you think I wouldn't know what you did to August?!" Charles was mad, and it was evident in his expression and his voice as well. "Do you take me as a fool?! Imbecile!" And in another second, Charles slapped Harvey on the left cheek this time. Harvey gasped as he felt how strong the force was on Charles' hand. He wanted to say something but decided not to speak as Charles gave him a deadly gaze. "It's not like thatโ" Harvey's explanation stopped mid-way when he realized something. "Why are you taking that bastard's side over me, dad?" "Bastard?" Charles' grip on his crane tightened. "Be careful with your words, Harvey. Or I might remove all your wealth right now."

โYOU SMELL good.โBruce and Samantha were lying on the king-sized white bed while watching an erotic movie. Samantha didnโt like the movie that much, but she liked the fact that Bruceโs hand was slowly entering her nightgown, caressing her right breast with his palm.โOh,โ Samantha mumbled as Bruceโs face leaned onto her neck, and after a while, she felt Bruce lick her skinโ slowly and passionately as he gave him small love bites.Samantha arched her back in pleasure. Bruceโs hands started to roam around her body. She knew where their make-out would go, given the movie that was playing in the background. She was willing to give herself all over again as Bruce was also ready to give his wealth in exchange.Yet, a loud phone call disturbed their almost hot, steamy night.โFuck.โBruce, who was also in the momentum of giving Samantha a hard bang, groaned in annoyance as he stood up and got his phone on the side table to check who was calling him this late at night.โCould you please not

TOMORROW MORNING, Bruce and Samantha were in a shopping mall. Samantha roamed around the stores looking for a bag since Bruce promised him to get her one. They were happily shopping together like Bruce didnโt shout at her yesterday.Well, she decided to forgive him quickly, even without an apology, because of the bag that heโll buy for her.Samantha wasnโt picky when it comes to bagsโ in fact, she loved everything.But the event that they were going to the next month was something she couldnโt take easily. It was like a reunion for all the rich people within the top eleven to top fifty, and since the Sandoval family was in the top fifty, they were invited to the party, and Bruce would let her join as his fiance.โThis looks good,โ Samantha told Bruce who had his hands in his pocket while roaming the place. They were now in a Gucci department store. Samantha pointed at the black bag which was covered by a squared glass and imagined that she was holding it in her hands. She smiled in

โAUGUST?!โ Samantha shouted in shock as she almost stumbled on the floor. Gladly, Bruce was behind her, acting all pretentious and sweet in front of the two salesladies, as he held onto her back to prevent her from falling. Her jaws almost fell on the floor as she couldnโt believe who was the guy the saleslady pointed at earlier. At first, she wasnโt able to recognize August because his facial appearance, and also his body build, changed a lot. He wasnโt like the August she knew back then. But she recognized the cap he was wearing. โIt was the cap I gave him on his birthday,โ Samantha thought as she blinked twice. She felt something poked into her heart as August still cherished the gifts she had been given to him, although it wasnโt sincere. Those are the things Bruce didn't do to her when they became engaged. Bruce only wanted her body, and she only wanted his wealth. It may be painful to Samantha, but she knew that she just needed to endure, and everything will be fine. โS

โTHE CARD was named after himโฆโ Mina trailed off as her eyes flickered between Bruce, Samantha, and Trianaโ which all were giving a deadly gaze at her. Mina doesnโt have any characteristics to judge someone based on their appearance. However, as a part of the protocol, and since August was going to buy the most expensive bag, she needed to do a fact check. And with that, she realized that it was impossible for the card to be stolen if it was named after August in the first place. โImpossible!โ Bruce exclaimed as Minaโs words made his blood boil. โAn ordinary man like him couldnโt even have the right to touch a black card like this!โ Without permission, Bruce grabbed the black card from Minaโs hand. He looked at it with frustration, because August had an expensive card like that, and amusement because it was his first time to see such a luxurious card that costs millions of dollars, at least. โAre you sure that itโs his, Mina?โ Triana answered back. She crossed her arms and raised

LITTLE DID everyone knows, the Remington Corporation was the major shareholder in this store, and Charles named the shares under August. He could even not pay for the bags if he wanted to. However, Charles gave him a black card that he could spend because of the major improvements he had in his first training. Besides that, he doesnโt want to showcase to everyone about his newly owned company. August dialed his phone and called someone. For August, women like Triana make the world worseโ people who base their kindness on someoneโs worth were worthless themselves. They were the reason why people try hard to be worthy even though their existence was already worthy from the start. โHello?โ August greeted as the person on the other line answered. His glance flickered on Bruce and Samantha before he spoke. โAre you busy? Can you do a little favor for me?โ โAnything for the Remington family, young master,โ Zeke, who was currently at a business meeting, responded. โWhat is it?โ Zeke, w

Hello to all! This is not an update. Sorry. Daily updates will resume on January 1, 2023, every 3 pm UTC+8. I have four schedule updates already, so rest assured that the updates will publish at that time. Again, thank you everyone for reading this story and adding this to your library! If you like a fast-paced story with lots of faceslapping (rest assured. I prepared my outline for this, haha) but of course, August's plans would not also happen the way he planned it to be (hmmm!) Anyway, let me give you a sneak peak on the next chapter! โIโฆ Iโฆโ Triana wanted to say something, but it seemed like her voice left her throat already. August shook his head, having no plans to talk to Triana anymore. Instead, he looked at Bruce who was already staring at him. โTake good care of your girl, okay?โ August said. Mixed emotions of worry and sarcasm were evident in his voice. โDonโt let anyone treat her as a pushover.โ HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

TWO YEARS LATERโฆThe waves on the water splash on the yacht where August was standing right now. Both his hands were holding onto the rail as his gaze fixated on the sunset in front of him. It was beautiful, ethereal, and breathtakingโฆ Just like the woman who was walking toward him.โAugust,โ Daphne called her as she gave her husband a fruit shake. โYouโve been there for an hour already. Would you want to spend this day with fish than me?โ she asked, pretending to be pissed as her lips curved into a smile.โNo need to be jealous of nature, my dear wife. I just want to appreciate how beautiful the sunset was.โAugust laughed, pulling Daphne gently closer to him using his other hand. Now, both of them were staring at the sunset with genuine smiles plastered onto their faces. Augustโs hand was resting on Daphneโs waist, while the latter had her head leaned on her husbandโs shoulder.A year ago, both of them got remarried, for real this time. At that moment, both of them couldnโt help bu

COUPLE DAYS later, August was able to heal from the beating he had endured when Raquel took him down. He was now as good as hell, and he could now work tirelessly to catch up with all of the deadlines and meetings he had neglected while he was at rest. Fortunately, the press, with a lot of help from Daphne, didnโt know a thing about what happened to August, or else he would be bombarded by the press in front of the Remington Corporation. However, it would not be for long, as something grand would happen now. August had been waiting for this dayโThe day when the final showdown begins. This day had come down to this moment, where the tables would turn, and justice would finally be served. This time, August made sure that Francis would not be able to run away from his crimes, nor frame someone up to escape from it. Inside Augustโs office, all of his allies, Daphne, Sapphire, and Maxine, were inside the room. The air was thick with tension as they were looking at the wall clock from ti

RAQUEL, at that moment, was too stunned to speak. Shivers sent down his spine as the unexpected news lingered in his mind. His shoulder was aching because of the pain, but suddenly, it became numb as the pain struck his heart.โW-What?โ Raquel asked, blinking his eyes twice. โAre youโฆ fooling me?โโNoโฆ Itโs the truth.โ Sapphire shook her head, the pain registering through her rounded, brown eyes. โWeโre Maxineโs childrenโHer lost twins.โโBut how?โ Raquelโs brows furrowed in confusion and annoyance at the same time. โIf she is my brother, and youโre my twin, and you knew everything about itโฆ Then why didnโt you approach me?โโMaxine only knew it recently, the same as mine.โ Sapphire heaved a sigh and bit her lower lip afterward to contain her emotions.After a few seconds, she spoke again.โAugust informed me recently by giving the birth certificates Master Charles hid in his cabinet. It turns out that Maxine didnโt want to know us at that time because of the complexity of her jobโฆ Sh

AUGUST WAS in a daze when he woke up from his not-so-peaceful slumber. He didnโt wake up naturally, but he woke up when someone poured him cold water placed in a bucket, causing August to jolt in shockโฆ Only to realize that he was tied to the chair.Same situation. Same abandoned room.Shivers sent down his spine because of the uncanny coincidence both of the situations had.โFucking shit. This is dรฉjร vu,โ said August at the back of his mind when he realized that this is where everything startedโWhen Charles had his people take him so he could have a one-on-one talk with August about being a pretend heir.However, the only difference between the event before and now, is that the person in front of him looked like he was eager to kill him in an instant, but he was just taking his time to do it.โR-Raquelโฆโ August mumbled, slightly stammering, as his gaze fixated on Raquel.โHowโs your sleep, August?โ Raquel threw the silver bucket on the floor in force while wearing his most sardonic

[RICHARD WELLINGTON]August blinked his eyes twice, trying to confirm if what he was reading on the paper was true, or if his eyes were just playing with him. However, a few seconds had passed, and he still read the same name.โH-Howโฆโ August was at a loss for words. It wasnโt something that he expected. He almost thought that it was Francis, but turns out that the lead scientist is Richard, the Wellington familyโs original heir.โAre thereโโโGreetings, Sir August.โAugust was about to ask the lead engineer if he found more documents other than the white folder he was holding now, but his words went midway as three cleaners who were wearing personal protective equipment suddenly bowed in front of him.โOne of your employees called us to clean this room,โ one of the cleaners said as she glanced at the mess August made earlier.โA-Ah. Right.โAugust only nodded at them, not knowing what to say. His mind was so shocked that he didnโt even notice his employees leaving him alone in the ro

TWO WEEKS LATER, the event about Bruce being confined to the Remington Mental Hospital scattered around the country. According to the doctors, Bruce was diagnosed with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and he would need long-term medication and treatment to heal.While some people sympathized with Bruce for it, some people say that it was karma because of what he had done to August.However, August didnโt care what those people think about now. He had workโA bunch of themโAnd it was never-ending.It was already one oโclock in the morning as August had finished meeting with the different departments, and reviewing business proposals. He wasnโt eating his lunch yet but he was determined to finish everything first. August wanted to have free time so he could take care of his other business that he neglected because the work became surprisingly overwhelming.โMaxineโฆโ August called, causing Maxine, who was sitting on the couch, to look at him. โDo I still have any urgent matters

โMR. JAKE SANDOVAL, the head of the Sandoval family, was arrested for torture against his son, Bruce Sandoval. The police said that they were investigating thoroughly about this matter and that they will preserve results with fairness and no biasesโโBefore the reporter could finish her sentence, August already took the remote and turned the television. Daphne, who was immersed in watching the news, jolted in shock as she turned around, only to see August smiling at her.โIโm home,โ said August in a sweet tone as he extended both his arms, asking for a hug.Daphne couldnโt help but laugh a little. She went toward August and wrapped him in her embrace. โHow was it? What happened to Samantha?โ she asked in curiosity.โI think Samantha and Bruce divorcedโฆ But Iโm not yet sure.โ August caressed Daphneโs hair lightly and gently pushed her head more onto his chest. โStop watching the news, okay? Itโs already enough that you know anything, but donโt think about it too much.โDaphne only nodd

โWHERE DID you go? Why do you look like shit?โ Nicole asked as Bruce went inside the room, all his clothes were soaked because of the rain. โTake a bath first before you go to the dining table. You know that your father didnโt like seeing you like that,โ she added, shaking her head. โYes, Mother.โ Bruce nodded as he was tired to explain everything. He went to the bathroom to fix himself. Bruce wore a simple white shirt and sweatpants before he went to the dining table, joining Nicole and Jake for their late dinner. Samantha was already out of the picture as his parents were also informed of what she did earlier. However, they werenโt aware that Bruce felt hurt because of the same reason. โDid you chase that bitch away?โ Jake asked while they were eating. โY-Yes, Father.โ โThatโs good,โ Jake commented, and Bruce only smiled subtly in response. Bruce ate his steak, but because of his stomach churning and his heart thumping rapidly, he felt like that piece of steak was hard to sw

SHE IS the most stupid person in the world, and she knows it. Samantha couldnโt help but look at August in disbelief, the pain and betrayal registering upon her facial expression.โAugustโฆ You canโt do this to meโฆโ Samantha mumbled as her knees went wobbly. If not only for the table in front of her, she might be sitting on the floor now. โThis isnโt what we have talked aboutโฆโโI know,โ August said, and Samantha didnโt notice that he was just done talking to someone on the phone. โThatโs why it is called betrayal. Itโs painful, especially when youโre feeling desperate.โโHow can you do this to me? I am your girlfriend!โ Samantha exclaimed, gritting her teeth and clenching her jaw.โEx-girlfriend, Samantha,โ August corrected before he heaved a sigh. โOur relationship was over years ago.โAs if on cue, two guards entered Augustโs office and took Samantha away, just like what he did yesterday. He could even hear Samantha cursing and begging him at the same time before the guard closed th
