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…”
Chapter 111: Arrested
ONE MORE punch from Bruce, and he was already unconscious. When he woke up, he was lying on the streets— specifically in front of the police station.Many people were surrounding him, and there were camera flashes everywhere.He didn’t realize how he had lost consciousness earlier. What he only knew was that his body was in pain.He was about to cover his eyes using his hands. The flashes of the camera blinded him so much. However, he couldn’t do that with his hands— No. His whole body was tied using duct tape.“Mr. Fordman, how did you end up here?!”“Are the accusations about you true?!”
Chapter 112: Punishment
AUGUST’S EYES widened, and his lips parted in shock. He looked at Charles in disbelief as his other hand traveled onto his right cheek.The intensity of Charles' slap made August temporarily deaf. That's just how impactful the slap was. He grimaced afterward as the pain stung.“Father…” August mumbled, not knowing what to say.Charles didn't even look like he regretted what he had made. He stared at August with madness in his eyes. Piercing August with his intense, deadly stare, August suddenly surrendered.August pursed his lips and didn’t complain. He feared that he might increase Charles’ rage more if he spoke. That’s the last thing he wanted to do in this situatio
