“I assure you and mom, I have only treated Tabitha as a sister, and the family has been very respectful towards her.” Said Blake replying to his mother-in-law’s comments. “As it should be, how can a country family compare with ours? You should feel privileged that she even went with you to meet with your country bumkin family.” Declared Claire, back to Blake’s acknowledgment of his sister-in-law. “If there is nothing else, I just wanted to let you know that there was nothing to fear and that we will be heading back tomorrow.” Said Blake trying to end this call earlier.“Well, you go slowly on the road. We will be awaiting Tabby’s return.” Said Claire and hung up the phone, not even giving Blake any respect.Blake then put his phone back into his pocket and headed back to the banquet hall. Seeing the double doors closed and guarded by two bodyguards, he didn’t think much of it as he approached the two men but stopped when one put their hands on Blake’s chest.“Hold, this is a privat

Blake looked at the two in front of him and sighed. He could see right through Maria’s intent from the beginning, and he had observed her movements throughout the night when she spilled the pitcher earlier. So he smiled at her and motioned for Tabitha to come by his side.“Miss. Trist, we have met again. If you are truly repentant of your earlier actions, you will apologize to my sister Tabitha. Then we will forget all grievances past and present.” Blake said, looking at Maria.Maria was surprised by Blake’s announcement about Tabitha. When did she become his sister? All she knew was that she was from a lower family than herself and Douglas.“Tabitha is your sister? I thought she was….”“Tabitha is my sister-in-law, so she is now my sister, is there a problem?” asked Blake, interrupting Maria mid-sentence.“No, no, Tabitha and I go way back; we were like sisters ourselves. Tabitha, I deeply regret how I have treated you in the past; I’m truly sorry; I hope you will forgive me and cont

Being ignored, Jake sat there hearing the conversation of the two women next to him. His anger was at its peak. He had already suspected more of Blake and Tabitha’s relationship, but it was only speculation. The more they continued their conversation about Blake, the more unsettled his heart became. He had to turn things around and become the new CEO of the business and the new heir of the family.When the family finished the ceremony, Robert stood next to Blake and motioned to Jenkins to allow a few people to enter the room. The double doors were opened, and five people walked in and knelt before Blake. The first man was the duly elected President of the United States, George Cluney. The second was the Prime Minister of England, Mrs. Gloria Howtzer. The third person was the King of Africa, Obera Mucha. The fourth was the leader of the United Nations, Robert Downing. Finally, the last one was Sam Wheaton, COO of Elon Trust Enterprises. Gasps were heard throughout the room as everyone

This time Blake didn’t return with his cousin Jake. Now, he was the head of the family and could only ride back with his grandfather and Tabitha.As the car continued down the highway, Blake looked at his grandfather and asked. “Grandfather, that chair, what is its background? I have never seen such a chair like it.”“It’s the house leader’s chair. He who is chosen will benefit greatly from the chair. It was handed down throughout the family. It’s said that the first Elon held that chair and had it made by a sorcerer.” His grandfather explained. “Why is there some significant reason?”Blake looked puzzled and then decided to let his grandfather know what had happened during the ceremony.“When I got close to the chair, it seemed that it had pierced deep into my soul. It was like being nurtured by a gentle force that seemed to flow around my body when I sat upon it. I also noticed that the jade ring gave off a glow every time someone came to kiss it with sincerity. For a select few, it

“Who are you? Where is this, and why am I here?” Blake questioned the individual.The old man just laughed and continued to swing his legs—this annoyed Blake for being ignored and stood there looking at the old man. He then picked up the apple on the ground and looked at it curiously. It was a golden apple that looked very tempting, so he took a bite. His mind was swarmed with all kinds of techniques of medicine and poisons. He could distinguish between medicines and poisons and use the Chinese acupuncture techniques with silver needles and finger acupuncture. Folk Medicines came to him not too dissimilar to Chinese Medicine, and the native used herbs and roots to cure illnesses. The more Blake ate the apple, the more knowledge he received. He could cure all types of diseases and ailments. When he finally finished the apple core, his head was swimming with all this knowledge, not wanting to lose any lifesaving methods he was receiving.The old man then jumped out of the tree and stood
