After the morning meeting, while everyone went about their assigned duties, Oliver went back to his Pink Diamond Bungalow.After changing to his work attire, Oliver was about to head out of his room, when from the corner of his eye, he noticed the housewarming gift given by Madam Louise, his family heirloom box sitting on the dresser.Curious, Oliver stared at the box before deciding to open it. He walked over to the dresser and opened the box to see the jade ring.As he took out the ring, Oliver had one reservation in his mind. Was the ring going to fit any of his fingers?Interestingly, on his first try, Oliver managed to wear the ring on his right middle finger. However, when the ring fitted around his finger, there was a sudden surge of energy coursing through his body."Aaargh..." Oliver grimaced as the continuous flow of energy ran through his body. 'What is going on? What's with this influx of energy?' he said to himself as he struggled to take the ring out.After a minute, whi
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
