Chapter 103: Incompetent!
“THOMAS Bellingham’s group!”As soon as the host announced the first place, everyone clapped for them. However, in their minds, they were confused that none of the most influential people— Bruce and August, to be specific— won the hackathon event.All of them thought that there would be fraud in the event, but judging by the results, the organizers managed to make the competition fair and square, after all.Everyone was smiling except for Bruce. His eyes widened, and his lips parted as he heard that the host didn’t mention his group as the winner.“Why?!” Bruce stood up and exclaimed, which made everyone look at him, including August who doesn’t have any cocky smile on his lips. Rather, he was confused as him, too.Bruce didn’t bother explaining why he shouted. He just sat again on his seat and clutched onto the tablecloth to contain his emotions. The host cleared her throat before the awarding continued as if nothing happened at all.‘It should be me! I should be the winner of this
Chapter 104: What Did I Do To Save Your Son?
“SIR WESLEY,” Jake greeted on the other line.He stood up from the couch and gave Nicole a deadly glance before he went onto their terrace to hear Wesley properly. “I’m sorry for what happened. I didn’t know why the hackathon event led to such ridiculous results?”“Ridiculous?” asked Wesley as he laughed sarcastically on the other line. “Geo Saundler removed all the manipulations coming from our family for the competition to be fair and square.”“What?” The tip of Jake’s brows pressed hard as he heard what Wesley said. “August won that competition without any manipulations?”“He did.”Jake wasn’t able to speak for a moment. A hint of envy and annoyance became evident in his expression. Suddenly, he became envious that August, who was once in their company, became popular and valuable in a span of months.He realized that if only he didn’t mess up with Bruce, or the other way around, he could have used his talents to make the Sandoval Corporation prosper.“Trance,” Jake called his most
Chapter 105: The Winner Takes It All
AS WESLEY clicked something on his phone, a video suddenly played. Jake doesn’t need to look at it anymore as he could recognize the voices in the video.He could even recognize the scene, and it was the viral video that appeared at the annual awarding before.With that, Jake remembered the time when he called Bruce to take down the video. He wanted to be free from the Wellington family’s grip, but because of Bruce, he needed to beg again.“My child is an imbecile. I should've disciplined him better,” said Jake as he tried making his voice sound stable, but failed. His voice cracked, and the only thing he could do was bit his lower lip because he had been lowering his pride too much.“No. I think he’s a good man,” Wesley answered on the other line, smirking. “I like the fact that he beat that August to death.”Wesley hated everyone in the Remington family, and no matter who they were, even if they were just mere employees, a maid, or really a part of the Remington family, he’ll alway
Chapter 106: Why Would I Side With You?
‘NONSENSE.’That was the only word that came to August’s mind as he heard Bruce’s statement. Bruce already left him as he went into his own car. However, he thought that everything he said was pure bluffing since he was not that popular in the industry already.And maybe, it really does.A month later, August had risen to the top more than he could ever imagine. No one doesn’t know him now. Aside from being a key employee in the Remington corporation, Charles’ also allowed him to create his special team under the strategy department.With new inventions to manufacture, and with new ideas that made the company prosper, August had partnered with different subsidiaries with Charles’ help, including Johnson Gaming with Harvey.In fact, Harvey and August were together today in the Remington Corporation building to sign their agreement on their partnership. There were only a few reporters inside, and some employees from the Remington Corporation.Since August took care of some of the busin
Chapter 107: I Know What You Did
THE SHOCK was an understatement for what Samantha had felt as she heard August’s statement. “W-What…” she trailed off, not knowing what to say, and not knowing how to react as she saw how cruel August was to her.Of all people, she never expected August to treat her that way. She had always felt like a princess in his arms before, but now, he’s acting indifferent, and there’s no way she would accept that!“What are you talking about, August?” Samantha stomped his feet in anger and pulled August by the arm. “You know me! You know me more than anyone else! Why are you being so indifferent after what happened to us?!”“I should be the one asking you that…” August forcefully removed Samantha’s hand gripping on his. “Why are you being so indifferent after what happened to us?”The same statement, different emotions. Samantha sounded mad and frustrated, while August sounded hurt and disappointed. August wanted to just let it go, but he couldn’t help but ask… how blinded he was before to l
Chapter 108: One Way To Find Out
SAMANTHA almost froze when she heard what Bruce said. She doesn’t want to give any of his words a hidden meaning, but she couldn’t help it, especially when she saw how the side of Bruce’s lips rose while staring at her.“Surprised?” he asked confidently. “Don’t cry too hard, Samantha. I didn't even say anything, yet you started crying right away.”“I-I’m sorry—”“It’s fine,” said Bruce as he pulled Samantha into a hug. “We do that sometimes. We do bad things, and sometimes, hide things to survive.”Bruce wasn’t oblivious to it. In fact, he knew everything before he proposed to Samantha. She isn’t a real Evergreen, and she wasn’t even legally adopted by the Evergreen family. It means that she’s even poorer than August.However, Samantha did something that would protect her reputation. She manipulated the documents in secret, made herself the legal child of the Evergreen family, and made Myra the adopted one.Myra found out about it, but it was too late. Samantha already left them, and
Chapter 109: You Need To Hide!
A DAY had passed, and it was already seven o’clock in the morning. This is a special day for the Remington family, so August called Daphne to help him pick the best suit and style he could wear.He was wearing a three-piece suit with a silver and white color on it. His hair was parted to the left, and although he couldn’t see it himself, Daphne had admiration in her eyes while watching her great creation.“I look good now, right?” asked August as he fixed his tie again, although it was already fixed.Daphne nodded in response. August had been asking her that question since earlier.August didn’t understand why his heart was beating so fast. He was nervous.
Chapter 110: Turning Tables
AT A SECOND, August didn’t know what to do. He held tightly onto the steering wheel and the gear lever, but he had mixed emotions about his actions.He was torn between going to the hidden villa or on the building to help Sapphire.Sapphire said it was chaotic, but as he saw the situation in the place by the broadcasters’ live stream, August thought it would be an understatement.It was not just the police looking for him, but there was a rally as well.The rallyists wanted August to step down from his position for being an abusive ex-boyfriend and a manipulator who made everyone believe that he was a good person.“God…”
