Chapter 171

Emergency meeting Adjusting his coat, Bryan Checks stood at the front door, exhausted from his seven–hour flight, and then he hit the doorbell, patiently waiting afterward.

A moment later, the door opened and a tall, slender older fellow stood In the doorway, smiling at Bryan, and said, “Good morning. I am butler Anthony, and you must be–”

“Bryan. I am Bryan Checks.” Mr. Checks said.

“Right. Please come in. My young master is awaiting you.”

“Thanks.”

Quietly, Bryan followed Anthony through the hallway, and finally, they got to a set of double doors, and then Anthony pushed it open, and announced, “Young master Elijah, Bryan Checks has arrived.”

Immediately, Elijah stood from the couch, a smile on his face, and then walked over to Bryan, pulling him in a hug, tapping him three times on the back before releasing.

“This place is massive!” Bryan said with a smile. “Excuse me,” Anthony said, bowing slightly before leaving the room.

When the doors closed, both Elijah and Checks took a seat on the couch, and Elijah then said, “The way you have been silent for these past weeks, and then you suddenly asked to see me, I hope that there isn‘t an issue.”

“Sorry to say… But there‘s an issue.” Bryan said, staring straight at Elijah.

After taking a long look at him, Elijah slightly smirked and then

said, “It‘s my turn to pay back my end of our bargain, isn‘t it?”

“Something like that.” Bryan let out casually, still maintaining eye contact. “I once said to you that my friends and allies could help you in ways that no one else could, and if you help me, we‘ll both benefit greatly.”

“And they have. If you weren‘t on my side, I wouldn‘t have succeeded faster than I did… You have rubbed on me too, Checks, and I care about you greatly as my friend, so whatever it is that you need me to help you with, I am ready to help, as long as it‘s not criminal because I don‘t want to be your plus one in prison.”

A laugh escaped Bryan‘s mouth, and he shook his head, listening to Elijah‘s soft chuckle.

“Well, my father… There‘s nothing about my relationship with my father on the internet or anywhere because he erased me from his bloodline…” Checks said with a pause as a look of hurt spiked in his eyes for a second

“No wonder why Brook couldn‘t get any information on that,” Elijah mumbled to himself.

“He did it because I am not his child by his wife. When he was running for a position in the house, he needed his clean reputation, so he threaten my mother that if she ever allow the media to find out about that one time he slept with her without her consent or to know about me since he was fifteen years older than her when I came in the picture, he will kill me as her punishment
