Chapter: Chapter 117“You're joking right?” Patricia could not believe her ears."I'm very serious, Ma'am. However, if you have nothing else to say, I'll have to hang up now. You know that I'm a very busy person.”"Wait, please. How can I speak with Liam? I want to apologize for everything that's happened between us in the past.”"I'm sorry, Ma'am.

She greeted her."Patricia, what have you done? What am I just hearing?" Lady Mary spoke to her in a raised voice.“How can you not know that you've been living with Mr. Sawye

However, you must all know that I'll never forgive or forget this." “You have lost me forever." With that, she stormed out of the place and made her way to her room.In the next few minutes, Miranda was out with her luggages.She stood before her family speechless and muttered after a while. “Good bye, all of you. I don't ever want to have anything to do with you guys again." Miranda began to walk out of the place. However, her mother ran to her and held her by the waist, stopping her from walking away."Miranda, please. Don't leave us. Don't go.”Miranda gradually removed her mother's hands from her body. She turned around and glanced at the others before commenting.“None of you should

If you must know, I'm Liam Sawyer, the mysterious Mr. Saw who has been helping Miranda.”"Unfortunately, I'm withdrawing my help and you're now on your own.”“That's the same message I got as well.

Chapter: Chapter 114After the call ended, Liam quickly got into the next cab leading to the apartment.When he got to the apartment, He saw Kimberly seated nonchalantly on the couch.Turning to her brother-in-law with a smirk on her face, Kimberly said to him in a disgusting tone. “Oh, you're here." She clicked her tongue a few times and shook her head vigorously before commenting. “I knew you would hurry over here." “Where's my wife?" Liam barked at her but Kimberly began to laugh at him.While she was laughing at him, Liam saw Miranda's bag lying on the sofa and rushed to carry it.He saw her phone inside and quickly brought it out.She was indeed there in the house and has not been picking his calls.After glancing around the sitting room, he turned around and raced into their room where he saw Miranda sleeping comfortably in the arms of another man who was also sleeping.With his face ruffled, Liam gave the sleeping couple a death stare.He was seriously fuming and was tempted to go into the room,

Chapter: Chapter 113Miranda was beyond stunned and could not comprehend what was going on.Why were they giving her a surprise when it was not even her birthday?With furrowed brows and a serious expression, she inquired. “What's going on here?" Kimberly and her parents were the ones behind such stunts. It was all a planned job to bring her home.However, she was yet to find out their reason for coming up with such. What do they intend to achieve?"But it's not my birthday. What's all these for?”Miranda turned to glare at Kimberly who was said to have left a scary note and ran away. It was all a lie.She seemed to be the mastermind behind such a surprise.“Mira, relax and enjoy this little surprise we organized for you. This is to celebrate your success and also because you bought a new house.”"I don't understand, I haven't even finished paying for the house. Why are you…”"Stop asking too many questions and have a drink with us. You can go back to work after this.”"I called you from work because we

Chapter: Chapter 112After several rings, Tyler picked up the call and before he could say anything, Patricia had taken over the conversation.“Tyler dear, I know that you've been busy and for that reason, you haven't been able to call." “However, you shouldn't worry yourself because Miranda will be yours in the next few days. I'm going to successfully end her marriage with that worthless man." “Get ready to possess that which has always belonged to you. You've been really patient and I must commend you for that. Talk later, bye." Patricia ended the call without letting Tyler say anything.Tyler was about to tell her not to worry but he was not given the chance. He could not even express himself because Patricia was all talks.When the call was over, Patricia turned to her daughter with a wide grin on her face.“I can't wait for that pauper of a son in law to leave our lives and Samantha's life.”"Of course, it will happen soon.” Kimberly replied back at her and placed a hand on her mother's lap. “Go

Chapter: Chapter 193“Dad?”Arthur could not help but to panic when Gregg suddenly went mute. He had just said something to Bryan. Why was he not speaking again?Tilting himself, he reached out and began to shake his father. “Dad?”“Doctor, please find out what is wrong with my Dad. He's no longer moving.”Swiftly, the doctor went ahead to check Gregg's vitals while Arthur turned to glare at Bryan. He was praying in his heart and hoping that nothing happens to his father.After about a minute, the doctor lifted himself and turned to them with a very sad face. “I think we should take my dad to the hospital.” Arthur suggested even before the doctor was able to say something.He beckoned on Kimora and the guards to come and carry Gregg. However, the doctor stopped him.“There won't be any need for that because your Dad is gone. He's dead.”“No.” Arthur screamed and fell on his father's body, shaking it vigorously.“Dad, no. Please don't do this to me. Wake up and talk to me.”Bryan, who was kneeling on the

Chapter: Chapter 192With a stunned look, Arthur rushed towards his father. He tilted himself and tried to lift Gregg's face which was not visible to him. “Dad?”That moment when his father did not open his eyes, Arthur's heart began to pound hard. He thought that Gregg was dead.Turning to face Kimora, Arthur asked him with a raised voice. “What happened to him? I thought you said that he wanted to see me.”“Yes, that's what he said to me a while ago. Maybe he slept off before you came.”Without wasting any more time, Arthur checked Gregg and saw that he still had a pulse before he began to shake him. “Dad, wake up.” “Kimora, call the doctor immediately. I think my Dad's not well.”While he was vigorously shaking his father, the man gradually opened his eyes and called out his name.“Arthur, you're here.”“Oh, Dad. You scared me. Are you okay?” Arthur let out a deep sigh as he kept gaping at his father.He tried to help him sit up but Gregg refused. “I'm ok this way.”“Are you sure?”“Yeah, I'm sure. I

Do you mean, uh… Did you just promote me as the new manager of this great organization?”With a smile that reached his eyes, Arthur nodded at him. “Yeah, I just did that. You're now the manager of this organization and I hope you'll not disappoint.”Placing his left hand on his mouth, Nick let out a gasp. “Oh my God. Wow!” Out of impulse, he fell on the ground and began to thank Arthur. “Thank you so much Sir. This is really unbelievable.”“Thank you, Thank you Sir.” Nick kept appreciating him. He could not also get himself to address him as Arthur after what he had just done for him.Arthur has changed his status. From a mall guard to a manager. It was indeed a very huge elevation.“It's ok Nick, stand up. You don't have to fall on the ground to show your appreciation. I can already see how grateful you ar

The couple decided to find out what was going on. It was then that they saw Jesse and her sister standing alongside some rich young guy who just announced himself as a rich heir.Once their eyes met with each other, Jesse smiled and raised her brows at them before clinging tightly onto Arthur's arm. She no longer cared about the multiple cameras before her face. At the moment, she just wanted her ex friend and ex boyfriend to feel envious of her.When Arthur was no longer interested in replying to their numerous questions, he turned around and began to walk into the mall together with Jesse and Jenny. As they made their way into the mall, the journalists wanted to follow after them but were stopped by the bodyguards and the other security guards.Anderson and Michael could not get themselves to go into the mall as they stood back outside

You should have….”“That's enough mom.” Janet replied with her voice raised as she turned around and faced her mother. Her raised voice distracted the others and an officer came to give her a stern warning.When the police officer left, Janet let out a deep sigh before saying to her mother. “It was all your fault, Mom. You pushed me into doing what I did. If you were ever a good mother, I would not have turned out like this and ended up here.”After glaring at her mother one last time, Janet snorted at her. “Just get me a good lawyer. That's the only help you can offer right now.”Stella was about to say something when a policeman came to meet them. “Ma'am, you should leave now. You've had enough time with her. Just go and get a lawyer because she'll be charged to court soon.”Without another word, Stella turned around and left the place to get a good lawyer.Des

Chapter: Chapter 188“Please, have pity on my daughter.” Stella's voice was heard as she ran towards them and fell on her knees before Arthur.“Please, forgive Janet. I promise that she'll never do anything like this again.”Stella, Janet's mother, had been informed of her daughter's current predicament. She was also informed of her actions that led to her arrest so she hurried to the station.Even though she pushed Janet into such action, she never asked her daughter to commit a crime just to get money. However, she also took some blame. She had not been a good mother but Janet was still her daughter and she loves her dearly.“Arthur, for old times sake, please don't send my daughter to jail.”The trio watched the woman with disdain and exchanged glances. They said nothing at first. Turning to Jesse, Stella held onto her legs. “Ma'am, I understand that you're the victim. But please forgive my daughter and talk to your boyfriend. I promise you that nothing like this will ever happen again, I'll make sure

Zachary replied to the men while his gaze was fixated at the file before him.Zachary soon lifted his face to stare at the other man. “ Mr. Vincent." He called out.“Sir."

I must say that I'm impressed with how you handle your job

Work or quit Thinking that the lady will get angry, Zachary was stunned to hear her dismiss the matter.“It's ok, I hope it went well?”"Yeah, it did go well before someone came to piss me off.” Zachary replied truthfully. Although he had no intention of telling Chloe about going with Mirabel."What happened?” Chloe asked with concern. "And who's the person who offended you?”"It's a young lady flirting with me. What got me angry was the way she treated the waiter. She was so rude and arrogant.

He pretended not to hear her the first time.Mirabel chuckled and asked the question again. “Do you think that anything can happen between me and your boss?”Stone swallowed hard. He was completely at a loss for words.After a moment of silence, he replied to Mirabel. “I…uh,.. I don't have an answer to that question.”Although Stone really wanted Zachary to end up with Mirabel, his boss was the one to make the choice himself.Mirabel smiled while still watching Stone from the mirror.“Ok, tell me what you think about me? Do you think I'd be good for Zach?" Stone pursed his lips and nodded. “Yes Ma'am, you're a great person and I think you and my boss will look good together. However, he's the one who would make the choice." “Does Zach have a girlfriend? Tell me the truth." Mirabel continued to probe further. Although she had confessed her feelings for Zachary

Tell me, did you speak with Mirabel?”Emily instantly darkened her expression when she heard Mirabel’s name.“That betrayer." She muttered to herself.“What did you say?" John inquired.

"Why would your name be on the news tomorrow?""Nevermind Zach, it's just an expression. You should understand what I was trying to imply. Did you not see the way that girl spoke to the maid like she was not a human being? That was not fair and I could no longer stand the sight. If I were to stand up for the maid and confront her, she might insult me and I would be able to take it."Zachary was silent for a while before saying to her."Emily was your friend for so many years before you guys fell apart the previous night, did she not demean people before your presence?"Emily was rendered speechless."Ugh, actually Zach…""You don't have to answer that." Zachary didn't let her finish before cutting in."Well, I'm sure that you're no longer in the mood for the dinner party.

It was only the staff who knew the relationship Zachary had with Kelvin. Although they wouldn't dare run their mouth for fear of being sacked.Rising to his feet, Zachary shook the you
