The sight of Mr. Wu left both Emma and Mr. Alfred enraged, and the two stared at him for a few seconds, making Wu break the silence. “Well, hello, Alfred.” “Get out. Now.” Mr. Alfred growled, not wanting a man like Wu two feet near his daughter. With a mocking laugh, Mr. Wu's gaze flickered between Mr. Alfred and Emma, and then his expression turned serious as he said, “I had to break my promise again to you because you have stop being a man of your word.” “Emma, can you please excuse us?” Mr. Alfred said with a pleading expression that spiked Mr. Wu's curiosity immediately. “You two seem very close. Is there a dot I am not connecting here.” Mr. Wu commented as he moved closer to Mr. Alfred. Looking at his daughter, who stood frozen, staring at Mr. Wu with her fists clasped by her side, and Mr. Alfred felt a sense of worry and said, “Emma, please.” This was going to be about Zane. She just knew it, and a part of her wanted to know why he came... What his new request was now, bu

A sense of annoyance spiked inside Jason at the sight of Daniel, and he fell speechless from anger, wanting to yell, but keeping his emotions down, instead glaring daggers at the lawyer.“Who are you?” Deborah finally asked, also feeling frustrated.“Good morning, I am Daniel, Daniel Anderson, the owner of ‘Dan law firm’ and Mr. Damion Briggs's legal lawyer. I have documents to prove our partnership and my legitimacy to this claim. I have been his private lawyer for twenty years now.” Daniel said as he approached the table and pulled out a chair.When he sat down and rested his briefcase on the table, Deborah, her children, and Jason kept glaring at him with this distrustful look. But Daniel smirked up at them, not noticing how much this annoyed Jason as he took out a bunch of papers and folders and placed them on top of the table, along with the pen. “My client can not be here today, so I am here to represent him,” Daniel said causal.With that, Deborah glared daggers at him and yel

When Mr. Alfred walked into the NewEra building two days later, he was met with Jason and Mr. Harris standing in the lobby, awaiting him with this look of anticipation and a smile that seemed too friendly.The man beside Mr. Alfred and his security detail made Jason raise a brow slightly, but he maintained his smile and said nothing as they waited.After he had reached them, Jason stretched out his hand, and when Mr. Alfred grabbed it, he said, “Welcome back!”“I didn't expect a response from you so early.” Mr. Alfred said, returning a small smile as he gave Jason's hand a firm shake before releasing it, “I hope we can get down to business this time.”“Of course. I apologize again for what occurred the last time you came here. I can assure you that the second chance you have given us is one we won't make the same mistake twice.”“If that's the case, I am ready.”Then Mr. Alfred turned to the guy beside him and said, “This is my lawyer, Mr. Wayne.” Knowing the renowned lawyer, Mr. Har

The grand hall of Mr. Alfred mansion was filled with an atmosphere that spoke of wealth and power with the faces of influential people dressed in their best suits and dresses.The party was set to start at nine, but guests had started arriving as early as seven. Everyone in attendance wondered why such an event was being held.“I can’t wait to hear what this party is about. Mr. Alfred is such a private man that his parties are usually famous. Just look at how crowded this place already is.” A young woman commented, looking around her in awe. Her eyes then moved towards another young woman who added, “The Briggs has climbed back into the spotlight with Mr. Alfred buying such huge shares in their company. Maybe this is to officially announce his partnership with them.”After her remark, her eyes widened at the sight of Jason Briggs, fully dressed in a dark gray suit and a black tie with Deborah Briggs by his side, wearing a gold dress, and her three children walking majestically by

Everyone's attention was now focused on the grandfather and granddaughter, staring like they were watching a movie of some sort and waiting patiently for something to happen while a silent tension began to surround them. The sound of people whispering filled their ears while Mr. Taylor stared at Emma as he thought, ‘I am your grandfather. I have raised you for years, fed, and clothed you. You won't dare look down on me now that that boy is not by your side. You won't act like an ungrateful brat in front of all these people. It was that boy. Proof to me that he was the one influencing you.’ Looking him dead in the eyes, Emma scoffed, and Mr. Taylor just knew that he made the wrong move and underestimated the situation, but it was too late to back down now. “Emma, grandfather is happy for you… that you found your father.” Mr. Taylor spoke, ignoring everything that was going on around him to give the delusion that he wasn't embarrassed by the way Emma was looking at him, almost as if
