Hollywood Zenith

Chapter 77 Scheme



In a specific villa within a wealthy neighborhood of London, A young man enjoying his tea sat leisurely in a lavishly decorated room. He is non-other than Eric, Iblis's fiancee; several young women stood beside him, some serving drinks while others actively gave attention to please the said man.

Karoline stood in front of him, disgusted but keeping her calm. She gives detailed reports about Iblis day to day chores and her future schedule.

" Young Miss, will accompany her friend on a short trip, date is not fixed but It will probably be next week." Karoline said and waited for a response.

Eric's hands were all over one of the serving women; she was helpless but endured his advancement. One of the hands stopped, which in the next moment, reached out to his other prey, motioning her to go down on him.

He loved to feel superior in any situation and enjoyed the pleading looks of girls; he felt eerie pleasure in looking down from above as his prey struggled to break free while serving his member.

He relished it for a moment before focusing on Karoline.

" And Is there something I should worry about? I have been relentlessly pursuing her trying to win her favour but that bitch always acts like a pure maiden. How have preparation going for our engagement? Verbal agreement are shit and it is honestly degrading for out reputation." Eric said vehemently, displaying his dissatisfaction.

" Nothing noteworthy; Miss has always been a sheltered child, So her father accepted her request. He has also greenlit for the celebration party, which will be held in a couple of weeks." Karoline said with a stone face ignoring Eric's emotions. She must remain rational and resolute to protect the people she cares for.

" Ok, always keep an eye on her; I don't want my property to be soiled by annoying bugs. Besides, you know what will happen to your family if you go against me, right? " Eric threatened Karoline indirectly, which made Karoline rage angrily, but she controlled herself.

" Yes, young master." Karoline said and started walking away toward the exit.

Eric hated Karoline's attitude; with his masochistic personality, everything and everyone must serve him, and only him, but with Karoline, he had to use underhanded methods to keep her in place. Despite this, she never truly respected him.

" Bitch, I will make both of you submit to me someday. If only father hadn't stopped me, I would have already made her my bitch." Eric thought, looking at the receding back of Karoline.

Karoline is playing a dangerous game; she withheld significant information from the report, i.e., the news about Samuel.

Although she talked about Samuel to Kester, Iblis's father, she also left out critical information about his background. She knew that Eric would learn about Samuel later down the line but for now, If Samuel could influence Iblis, even a little would help Karoline later down the line.

Her ultimate goal is to give light on the situation to Kester; she knows only he can solve all of this. She could also guess that information about Samuel would be challenging to uncover, even for the Hanson family. It would keep Kester occupied for the time being.

The animosity between both families ran too deep, effectively triggering a chain reaction; it will be the perfect smokescreen for her to act upon. She could rescue her family and flee the country for good. She just needs to play her cards right.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

During the family dinner in the Rothschilds estate, everyone sat and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. It was not every day when the whole family was present for it, but today, at the behest of Samuel, everyone attended the dinner at the table.

Dinner was nearing the end when the topic of Samuel's trip came to light. He has already gotten permission from Adele and Hannah's family and discussed their plans. Robert, Laura, and other elders already knew about it, but the younger generation heard about it for the first time.

Mary was the most enthusiastic about it; some of her most memorable childhood memories are about her visits to different Disneyland across the globe. As a self-proclaimed socialite of the second generation, she has traveled to crucial places around the world whenever time permits.

" You have to visit these places; here, I have written down the park's main attractions. Though it's been several years since my visit, I still remember these places." Mary, Samuel's Aunt, gave him a piece of paper detailing the park.

" Thank you Aunt Mary, I will refer to it when needed." Samuel said as he folded it carefully and placed it in the pocket.

" But you don't have to worry about it, I have contacted some people, they would be helpful there. I have also informed key figures of the country to announce it in advance, so, you don't have to worry too much." Robert said from the side.

" Father, you don't have to do that. Besides, I have Oscar accompanying me. I don't think anything will go wrong." Samuel said he is grateful for their concerns helplessly, but they always tend to go overboard with it.

" Don't mind it; you never know what will happen. I also informed David they would go ahead of you and assess the situation with security. They will meet you at the airport. " Kenneth said, ignoring Samuel's pleading eyes. They could not compromise safety under no circumstances.

" Accept it, nephew; no matter how much you protest, you cannot change their mind about these things. I have experienced the same situation throughout my teens. They relaxed a little after I became an adult but still to this day, I have people follow and protect me from the shadows. " Peter whispered from the side, giving his two cents about the situation.

They discussed it for about an hour, leaving Samuel out of the whole conversation. Everyone suggested how it should be executed and how long the trip would be. It finally quieted down when Samuel protested vehemently and threatened to cancel the whole thing. Samuel informed them that he was taking the trip and should have some say in it.

Later they revised the plan with Samuel's input and lessened the personnel accompanying him during the trip. When it came to cost, Samuel volunteered but was turned down. No one supported Samuel, which ultimately made him accept the proposal.
