CHAPTER 320: HE WON’T DO IT

Victor is stunned. He has never heard the mayor sound so scared before. Even the president of the country wouldn’t make him quiver in his boots like that.

Victor puts his phone down and stares out the window again.

’Who did my daughter get involved with?’ Victor thinks. He is not foolish enough to push this further than he already has.

First, there were the restricted files, and now even the mayor of the fucking city is scared shitless and telling him to keep his distance, so he is going to do just that.

Whoever his daughter got involved with is probably the biggest fucking shark in this ocean, and he doesn’t want to mess with that.

’Looks like that girl is not only blessed with looks and intelligence, but also luck,’ Victor thinks, grabs the glass of scotch from his table, and takes a drink.

Grace, as soon as she walks out of her father’s office, calls Amon.

"Hey, what’s up?" She hears Amon’s voice on the other end.

"Amon, we are in big trouble!" Grace says.

"Sounds serious, what happened?" Amon says, his voice still not sounding serious.

"Somebody took pictures of us and sent them to my father, now he is trying to come after you," Grace says, worried.

But in response, she hears Amon chuckle.

"Come on, I am being serious. My dad doesn’t mess around," Grace says.

"Don’t worry, he should have already changed his mind by now," Amon says.

"What? What do you mean?" Grace asks, confused.

"I am saying your dad has already changed his mind. He won’t come after me," Amon says.

"How do you even know that?" Grace asks, frowning as it hasn’t even been a few minutes since she walked out of her father’s office.

"Don’t believe me? Why don’t you go and ask him? I don’t think he will lie to you," Amon says, chuckling again.

Grace curiously looks at her phone as Amon ends the call. She begins to wonder if her father has really changed his mind regarding this. She knows her father very well; he is not the type of person to change his mind after making a decision.

But since Amon told her that her father changed his mind, she wants to believe him, but she is also having a very hard time doing so.

’I should ask him anyway,’ Grace thinks, and walks back to her father’s office.

She arrives at his office and tells the secretary to inform her dad that she wants to speak again.

"You can go in," the secretary says. Grace nods and enters her father’s office nervously.

She sees her father standing in the same position he was before when she left.

"Dad...," she calls for him.

"What is it?" Victor asks.

"I... I wanted to ask..." Grace struggles to ask as she doesn’t know how to phrase her words.

"If you are here about the photos, then forget it. I changed my mind. I won’t be pursuing it any further," Victor says, shocking Grace.

She looks at her father wide-eyed, as she can’t believe what she just heard. Her strict father, who is known for being extremely brutal and unmovable in his decisions, changed his mind within a minute? What did Amon do? is the only question Grace has on her mind right now.

"I will take my leave then," Grace says, and is about to leave when she is stopped by Victor.

"If you get the chance, invite Mr. Amon for dinner," Victor says.

His words stun Grace even more. Not only has her father backtracked, but now he wants to invite Amon to dinner in their private residence? Once again, Grace wonders, what did Amon do?

"I will try," Grace says and exits her father’s office and immediately calls Amon.

"So what did he say?" Amon asks. Grace can hear the teasingness in his tone.

"What did you do to make my father act so... tame?" Even she can’t believe she used the word tame to describe her father, because that’s exactly what just happened.

"Hahaha, I didn’t do anything. Your father just made a smart decision and backed away," Amon says.

Hearing his words, Grace realizes that Amon might not just be a filthy rich guy with good looks; he must have power and influence that far surpasses even her dad’s.

"There’s one more thing..." Grace says.

"What is it?" Amon asks. "My dad... he invited you for dinner. Will you join me?" She asks.

"When?" Amon asks. "Umm, I don’t know. I need to ask him first," Grace says, embarrassed.

"Fine, get back to me when you have a date. I would like to meet my woman’s family as well." Amon says. Grace blushes, hearing Amon call her his woman. "Okay, I will get back to you as soon as possible," Grace says, and the call ends.

Grace feels extremely happy knowing that even with her complex relationship between her Amon and Claressa, her father won’t mind it because to men like him, power is everything, and the one with the most power, someone like Amon, can do anything he wants.

An hour goes by, and Claressa finally arrives at her dad’s office.

She is wearing a nice white dress, making her look both elegant and sexy. As she walks through the employee office, every eye is locked on her, stunned by her beauty, but they all know not to do or say anything stupid to her because she is the boss’s daughter.

But some brave souls still think they have a chance with her if they play their cards right. Little do they know that this young, stunningly beautiful girl has already given her heart to someone, and no other man can ever make her change that.

Claressa arrives before her father’s office and sees the secretary sitting outside looking into a small hand mirror, recolouring her lips.

Noticing Claressa, the woman quickly puts her lipstick away and smiles at her.

"Please, go in, Mr. Black is already waiting for you," The woman says with a very pleased smile on her face, which annoyed Claressa

The secretary never liked Claressa and thought her to be a bitch because of how rude Claressa always treated her, so knowing that the rude bitch is going to get a nice scolding from her father brought joy to the secretary.

Inside Arvil’s office, Arvil is staring at his phone as his legs shake uncontrollably. He is waiting for Victor’s call for an hour now, and there seems to be no sign of him.

’By now, he should have some information on the guy, what’s going on?’ Arvil wonders. Though Arvil is rich and influential, he doesn’t have connections like Victor, so he thought Victor would already have everything by now.

’Did he blow me off?’ Arvil wonders when the door of his office opens and he sees his beautiful daughter walk in.

She looks elegant and out of this world. She looks nothing like how she looked in that video.

Right now, she looks like an angel descended from Heaven, but in that video, she looked like a depraved slut.

He can’t believe his beautiful daughter has been defiled like that. The more he thinks about it, the angrier he gets.

"Daddy, why did you call me so urgently?" Claressa asks, annoyed.

"Sit down," he orders.

Claressa frowns, hearing his serious voice. Her dad never talks to her in that tone unless he is very angry. She wonders what she did to make him angry.

"What is it, Daddy? Just out with it, I need to be somewhere else," Claressa says.

"That envelope on the table, open it and look inside," Arvil orders.

Claressa looks at the envelope pointed out by Arvil and picks it up.

"What is this?" she asks.

"Open it and see it for yourself?" Arvil says.

Claressa reaches into the envelope and takes out of photos and sees pictures of herself, Amon, and Grace together doing questionable things.

’This is when I was at the mall with Amon and Grace,’ Claressa thinks as her hands shake a little with nervousness.

"Is this what you do when I am not around, walk around fucking guys in public? Being a slut?" Arvil asks angrily.

"What? How can you call me that?" Claressa asks, shocked by her father’s words.

"And let me tell you something. That’s not just any man. That’s the man I love, and I can do anything I want with him," Claressa fires back. Unlike Grace, Claressa doesn’t fear her father because Arvil has spoiled her beyond limits.

"No! I am your father, and you will do as I say. Tell me who this man is, and you are never allowed to meet him ever again. Cut all contacts with him!" Arvil orders.

Instead of getting scared, Claressa gets angrier.

"NO! I will not. I love Amon. You don’t have any right to tell me what to do!" Claressa shouts back, angrily gets up, and tries to storm out of the office.

"Claressa! If you step out of my office, you are no longer my daughter. I will cut you off from everything!" Arvil shouts.

"Fine! I don’t need your money, anyway. Go spend it on one of your sluts!" Claressa shouts and slams the door behind her as she walks out. Arvil just stares wide-eyed as he didn’t expect his daughter to actually shun him like that.

Claressa has always been the sweet daddy’s girl. She did everything he told her to do, but now she is willing to throw away everything he gave her just for some man she barely knows?

This is beyond anything Arvil expected.

"Amon..." he whispers the name and gets right to finding out more about him.
