*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 heard Francois Bakery is back in business." Madam Louise asked Derek in excitement. "We were there a few days ago to visit them. Business is booming, to say the least. Thankfully, a few of Pamela's former henchmen asked to work as their staff and they were a great help." replied Derek with pride. "What were you doing, grandma? You looked happy when we saw you at your desk." asked Charles as they walked with Madam Louise to her table. "Oh, I was just looking at some old photos. Here, have a look at your baby selves." replied Madam Louise as she showed Charles and Derek the photos on her desk. "Wow. We were so little back then. How time flies." said Charles as he looked at his own photos. Derek too felt slightly emotional as he looked at photos of his late foster parents Edward and Emma. As he continued to look at his foster parents' photos, Derek came across a photo that caught his attention. "Grandma, since when did Mum and Dad have another child? Was he adopted too?" asked Derek as he passed the photo he was holding to Madam Louise. Madam Louise took a look at the photo Derek passed to her. Initially, she had a puzzled look on her face. "Hmmm... this is peculiar. To my memory, Emma was barren, so they could not have children of their own." As Madam Louise continued to analyze the photo, she suddenly remembered who the toddler in the photo was. "I remember now, Derek; but with that said, things are going to get complicated." said Madam Louise. "How so, grandma?" asked Charles. "If I recall correctly, the baby in the photo is Oliver, Judith's younger brother." Madam Louise began to explain. "Back when I was, well, my past self, I favoured Judith over Oliver because she was obedient, unlike him. Years later, when their parents sadly passed away, I sent Oliver to an orphange far away from Townsville. I have not seen him since; and I don't know how he is doing now." she explained. "Maybe we can find out. Brother Derek, let me scan the photo on my phone." said Charles. He then took a picture of the photo on his phone and contacted Ivy. "We should get some information about Oliver in a few minutes." reported Charles. "That quick, Charles?" asked Derek, surprised at Charles's efficiency. "Ivy has developed some form of prototype A.I. software recently. Apparently, the software can detect a face and determine how that face will age as the years go by." "It can also link to that face's whereabouts. It sounds really complicated and very advanced at the same time." replied Charles. "Holy s**t, if this prototype works, she has to patent it as soon as possible." remarked Derek. "Language, my dear boy." Madam Louise warned Derek, chuckling slightly. Ding! Charles phone chimed as soon as he finished his explanation. "Ok, it looks like Ivy has some info." "Apparently, this Oliver is now residing somewhere at Metro City, going by the name Oliver Reed. He is married into a wealthy family there. His wife's name is Christina Connors." reported Charles. "Is that so? Well, I'm glad that he is doing just fine." said Derek upon hearing Charles's report. "Don't be so sure, brother. There's more." interjected Charles. "According to Ivy's report, Oliver has been unemployed ever since marrying into the Connors family. It seems like he is a live-in son-in-law; and not in the best way." he added. "Oh no... Oliver is being treated like how you were in the past, Derek." said Madam Louise, with a tinge of regret and sadness in her voice. "It's ok, grandma. What's past is past." replied Derek as he held Madam Louise's hand warmly. "No, Derek. This time the past is going to come back to haunt me. It seems that Oliver is going through a tougher life than you had." said Madam Louise. "She's got a point, brother Derek. Imagine being given away to an orphanage and having to suffer like you had; and then the life of suffering continues being married to a wealthy family as a live-in son-in-law." added Charles. "You may be right, Charles. We have to approach this wisely. We all have to show Oliver that there is light at the end of his dark tunnel." "We have to let him know that the family that once abandoned him has changed their ways, ready to bring him back." said Derek. "Trust me and Charles, grandma. The past will not come back to haunt you." "I believe in you both. What's your plan?" asked Madam Louise.When the doors opened, in walked Lorraine, Mitchell, Yuriko, Tanya, Barry and Sharon. Mitchell was excited to reunite with Henry and Holly Hill; while Tanya and Yvonne embraced, having not seen each other in years.After exchanging greetings, Lorraine and team sat down to join Oliver and both mafia groups. There was urgent news that Barry needed to share with Oliver.Barry took the time to share with everyone present what he heard at the Connors household. There was a mixture of reactions from everyone listening.Oliver, meanwhile, listened with intrigue. He was formulating a plan while listening to Barry."Thank you, Barry for sharing this information with us. Everyone, based on what Barry has shared, what do you think their next moves will be?" asked Oliver.Jonas was the first to speak up, "Since the Rex Group has terminated its partnership agreement with the Connors, naturally Glen and Alfred will waste their day waiting for me."Holly chimed in, "Don Krauser, if they know that th
As the sunrays entered Oliver's room on a Monday morning, Oliver himself was already having his own breakfast.He wanted to wake up early so he could meet the Krauser Kartel and the Phoenix Mafia at the Blue Diamond Villa, the house next to his Pink Diamond Bungalow.As Oliver walked out of his own bungalow and headed towards the villa, he noticed that the Krauser Kartel were already assembled outside, waiting for him."Good morning, Mr. Reed." greeted the Krauser Kartel."Good morning, team. Thanks for waiting for me. Let's enter, shall we." greeted Oliver. With a push of a button, the gates to the Blue Diamond Villa opened and everyone went in.Although it was not as spacious as the Pink Diamond Bungalow, there was enough space to house the Krauser Kartel and the Phoenix Mafia, should they decide to stay in Metro City.Just then, Oliver's phone rang. He checked it and saw Lorraine was on the line. Oliver decided to answer the call and put his phone on speaker."Hi Lorraine, I'm in t
"Mr. Rex! Mr. Rex!"Alfred Connors could not believe what Jonas Rex said to him over the phone.He subsequently tried to call Jonas back; but true to his word, Jonas did not pick up the phone. In fact, Jonas blocked Alfred's number on his own phone."What's wrong, brother? You look stunned." said Alfred's brother, Darren."That was Mr. Jonas Rex. He said that the partnership agreement is called off." reported Alfred, still shocked by the revelation."What?" exclaimed Thomas. "How could he do that?" Cleo asked in frustration."How dare he do that? Has he forgotten how the Connors Conglomerate have supported the Rex Group over the years?" said Thomas in anger."Don't worry, son. I'll pay a visit to the Rex Group on Monday morning. I will talk to him personally and persuade him to change his mind." said Glen."I'll go with you, dad." replied Alfred with gratitude.Sandy then noticed her daughter Christina was very silent. She had not spoken a word since the start of the emergency family
After a quick drive, Lily and Oliver stopped at a nearby bar. Everyone standing outside the bar saw Oliver's Bugatti parking outside and were in awe of the level of luxury exuding from his car. The valet servicemen wasted no time collecting Oliver's keys when he and Lily stepped out of the Bugatti. The bar owner, who has connections with Lily, ushered them to a private room, where it was soundproof and no one would be able to hear them from the outside. "This is a nice bar. Thank you for recommending this place, Lily." said Oliver as he enjoyed his bottle of beer. "You're welcome, Mr. Reed. It's the least I could do for your generosity." replied Lily as she sipped on her margarita. "Mr. Reed, I must confess, after attending your housewarming party, my perception of you has changed." Lily confessed to Oliver. "I have to ask, though, you seem to be very close with Mr. Derek and Don Charles during your housewarming party... are you related to them in any way?" she asked boldly. Ol
"Are you kidding me?!?" That was the first reaction from Alfred Connors before he stared back at Oliver. Glen, Michelle and Queenie were also staring at Oliver in disbelief. "You are lying! I can't believe the audacity and the bragging coming out of the mouth of this trash loser!" Glen said out loud. "You are nothing but street trash exiled by us Connors. You can't afford to even rent a corner gutter, let alone the most expensive house here." mocked Queenie. The other participants of the sales launch who were nearby heard about Oliver's exile from the Connors. They too were skeptical about Oliver's claim that he owned the Pink Diamond Bungalow. "Well, Queenie, you spotted me inside of the house, yes? You all saw me drive out of the house in that Bugatti, did you not? Who else would own the house other than me?" Oliver asked Alfred. Alfred was not having it from Oliver. "Save it, loser. At best, you are the driver of whoever the owner of the bungalow is. That's why you are even
After a night of celebration in his new home, Oliver woke up with a slight headache. It was not a surprise, as there was beer involved in his housewarming party, hence a hangover. Events from that memorable night ran through his head. He had a sense of happiness and gratitude knowing his life had taken a turn. At the same time, he also knew the real war against the Connors starts now. In less than a few hours, the sales launch of the Metro Grandeur Residences was going to start. 'Hmmm... should I stick around and see how the sales launch will go about?' Oliver pondered to himself. After some consideration, Oliver decided not to stay for the sales launch. After a quick shower, Oliver headed to the kitchen to make himself breakfast. When he reached the kitchen, he was greeted by Chef Victor from Victor's Steakhouse already doing some prep work. "Good morning, Mr. Reed." greeted Chef Victor. "Chef Victor, good morning; but what are you doing here?" asked Oliver. "Mr. Derek Quinton
