"Just wait till I get to inform the host about how rudely you have all behaved to his private guest. First of all, you mentioned that we are actually not not private guests, meaning you all say the host is a liar right? And now! You all behave rudely to both I and my mum. Even after I told you how uneasy she currently feels." Morphie rants in unbearable anger.However, he got nothing different in return other than, the usher rolling an eye against him like he meant nothing at all. "When you are ready young man, you'd finally keep your mouth shut and stick to the rules of the banquet." The usher said before walking away.At the same time, Morphie couldn't help but gulp tirelessly in surprise, he dared not kick up a fuss because there were several important dignitaries present.As such, anything they did would immediately be recognised and seen flying out on media soon. And that alone would be so degrading to them.The Reids were lucky enough to receive the invitation. However, they wer

Mrs. Reid and Morphie sat down looking gloomy. The duo could remember the day they had received the document in a dimly-lit boardroom, staring at the document in front of them in disbelief. The words on the page seemed to blur and warp, as if mocking their years of hard work and dedication.The Reid Group, the company they had built tirelessly, was no longer theirs. It had been hijacked by a larger corporation, and their ownership stake had been effectively eliminated.Mrs. Reid felt her heart sink as she thought of all the hours she had poured into the company, sacrificing time and schemes tirelessly just to ensure its success. The pride she had felt in the Reid Group was now replaced with a deep sense of loss.Morphie sat beside her with a look of anger and defeat etched on his face. He had always been the more outspoken of the two, but now he was at a loss for words.As they sat in silence, the reality of the situation began to sink in. They were no longer in control of the company

Brenda covered her mouth as her tears rolled down continuously.Surrounded by romantic flowers and lights and being proposed to by a handsome man with an exorbitant diamond ring was the scene that every woman dreamed of.Complicated emotions surged in Brenda’s heart, her mind was totally messed up at that moment and she couldn't tell what was happening around her yet."Will you marry me again, Brenda?" Derek asked again to bring her out of her daze, his voice cracking with emotion. "I promise you that I'll never make the same mistake twice. I'll love you, honor you, and cherish you for the rest of my life. Please, Brenda, say yes."Brenda's eyes flickered from Derek's face to the ring and back again. She took a deep breath and shook her head."I'm sorry, Derek," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I can't do this again. I can't risk getting hurt like that again. I need to protect myself."Derek's heart sank as he heard Brenda's words. He had hoped that she would be willing to

Mrs Reid pointed at Morphie furiously. “Are you still clueless? Who else knows about these factories? isn't it just the two of us?""Why are you acting like you've got nothing at all in those dirty sleeves of yours!" Morphie was astonished as to how the table began to turn against him. Really, he had done nothing at all to betray their family, but then here was his mum blaming him for what he never did.However, to be candid, she really was right, there was confusion somewhere. Just the two of them knew about the factories, even the workers never knew them as the owner. The duo made sure that they remained anonymous.Therefore, how on earth did anyone manage to discover the company's? Has that person been making several investigations about them for a very long time, because as far as it should be in reality, the wreck can never and would never be a one day job or plan."Trust me mom, I would never in this whole wide world do anything like that.""Are you telling me someone else did?"

Brenda blinked twice, she wasn't expecting such nice words to flow out of Mrs Reid mouth. She exercised some patience, waiting to hear from whatever Mrs Reid had to say before she took the next step.The fumed in anger, yet she suepressed it as much as she could so as not to make rash decisions."You need to believe me Brenda, I need you to trust me. It's time to come home don't you think?" She looked downward and continued. I mean, didn't you feel it's actually time to stay with your family, let's be your close confidant." Mrs Reid looked at Brenda expecting a swift response, instead Brenda strolled forward with her hands stuck to her side as she told firmly.“I remember that I already been disowned by the Reids." she chuckled slightly and then continued. "You know, the memory is forever engraved in m heart, remembering how the two people who were supposed to be the closest to me in he world, actually aided a full disgrace… For me, like a public disgrace." Brenda said again with obvi
