Chapter 148: Secret Investigation
“DAPHNE!” shouted Nicole as she gave her daughter a deadly glare. “Stop with your nonsense!”
Nicole and the rest of the Sandoval family were certain that the revenge Daphne was talking about isn't related to what Bruce and Harvey did to August, but to what Bruce did to Daphne before.
“What? I’m not saying anything wrong!” Daphne defended herself and raised her hands.
The side of her lips rose as she felt the joy traveling onto her body, and no, Daphne didn't have any plans to hide it.
Not even on Samantha and Francis who were slightly confused because of the sudden tension in the room.
The awkward silence was immediately filled by the voices of the reporters on the news.

“WHY can’t you?” asked Francis. The confusion was evident in his voice.“August was found innocent without any foul play, and it was final…” The tone of the police’s voice was too low since he knew that Francis would be mad at his answer. “We can’t undo the investigation,” the police added. “The only thing we could do right now was to file another case against him.”“If that was easy, I could have done it, you dimwit.” Francis almost wanted to smack the person on the other line if that was possible.Suddenly, he remembered Samantha’s attempt before to file a case against August, but her credentials were now destroyed because of the news circulating about him. They only managed to clean the news on the news channels, but not on the social media sites. Some people still knew about Samantha’s rumor of being an adopted child and took the credit for being the only child of the Evergreen family instead of the real daughter, Myra.“Shit,” Francis cursed as he realized he couldn’t use Saman

ONLY the footsteps the three of them made were heard inside the room as George led the way. The management office didn't change a single bit compared to its appearance when he went there the previous day.The gold decorations still amused him, but the room isn't only good for its design and extravagance. The functionality was superb, too!“Wow!” August's lips parted in astonishment when one of the walls split in half, creating a way toward somewhere.“This is a secret passage toward the back door,” George explained when he saw the confusion in August's eyes.After that, he looked at the prison guard beside August. “You stay here. Don't let anyone come in until I go back.”“Yes, master.” The prison guard went onto the front door and made a standing position, while August and George took their way on the dark, tight road.Again, August was astounded when the dark room was filled with yellowish lights as they had their way inside. It looked like what he watched in the movies. The only di

A SMIRK formed on Francis’ lips as he ended the call. He threw the phone on his side and sat comfortably on the couch. The sound of the reporters on the television filled the room.He opened his television and set it on the news channel, just in case there would be breaking news about August’s sudden death.‘I just need to wait for the good news,’ said Francis at the back of his mind. He tapped the bed using his fingers as his smile widened. ‘You will be proud of me, dad. I will make you even prouder than Richard did.’Francis knew that Wesley would be mad at him if he ever knew about this plan, but he thought that if he could execute this perfectly, Wesley would praise him for being a good decision-maker.He couldn’t wait
Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 152: Secrets Inside The Box
SEEING how the box had nothing inside it, August couldn’t help but feel the irritation on the depths of his skin. If only he could raise his eyebrows higher than his head, he would do it without a hint of hesitation.“Shit,” August cursed as he laughed wickedly. “I hid this here for nothing?”August looked inside the box again. He tried moving it in different directions, checking if there were secret pockets he must have overlooked. He hoped that the box had something the same way he saw in the movies, but after minutes, he still found none.“Fuck it.” The annoyance was evident in his voice as he clicked his tongue and tilted his head, preventing himself from bursting into anger.He placed the necklace in his pocket and threw the box away, and coincidentally, it hit the mausoleum where he placed that damn expensive box beforehand. A sudden guilt rushed down August’s spine as he realized where he was. No matter how angry he was right now, he should respect Mrs. Johens’ grave. This is

“HERE, young master,” said Maxine as she handed August a big, brown envelope.It made August cringe a bit. Envelopes traumatized him now, given how horrible his experiences are when someone gave him those.Still, August took it because he wanted answers. ‘What could it be this time?’ asked August at the back of his mind. He took the first thing he touched inside the envelope and pulled it. It was a picture, and as August glanced at it, the shock registered in his eyes. It didn’t take him a second to recognize who was in the photo.“This is—”“You,” said Charles, finishing August’s sentence. “It’s me beside you. I told you before that we love walking into this garden, didn’t I?”August didn’t respond. Suddenly, he felt a mild headache that made him wince. Some of his childhood memories inside the Remington mansion filled his mind, but it was still vague.“Are you okay?” asked Maxine.She was about to approach August when the latter waved his hand, dismissing her move. Maxine only nod

EARLIER, the church was full of noise as the guests chit-chatted among themselves, creating a lively buzz. But as soon as August spoke, an eerie silence swept across the room. Tension crackled in the air, thick and oppressive.“Who is he?”“How can he ask someone’s fiance to marry him?”“Is he crazy?”The visitors' whispers and inquiries about August were like daggers, stabbing into him.
