"Hehe... Nice to see you too Carla." Philip said with a smug grin. Carla frowned a bit and turned her head away from Philip's face. "I have to go." She said with a pretence of impatience and wanted to walk past Philip to get out of the company. "Whoa! Whoa! Hold on Carla." Philip stepped in the same direction she wanted to move to stop her from going. "Please let me pass Philip, I'm in a hurry." Carla said weakly with the feeling of a lump in her throat. "You do look like you've been to hell though." Philip finally said after taking a closer look at her face. Then he let out a cunning smirk. "Is this how your 'rich husband' treats you now?" He said teasingly with emphasis on the "rich husband'. Carla's eyes went dark with a look of bitterness. But she still looked at Philip squarely in the face. "Mind your business Philip." She said firmly. Though she 'knew' that Darius wasn't the one responsible for what was happening to her, she felt like it was Darius' karma that was punishi

Philip wanted nothing more than to wring Madam Felicia's neck in anger. But at the same time he felt like he had another chance to prove himself. Weren't the Morris family a bunch of greedy people? He knew that much at least. "You're trying to compete with Darius?" Madam Felicia asked Philip with an interested gaze. Even though she was just disregarding Philip a moment ago, money was enough to turn the tables around. Wasn't it so?Philip felt a bit nervous. Truthfully, he was actually feeling a complex of different emotions. The one that stood out the most though; was his ego. The same ego that was undergoing bruising and that he was trying to protect so badly. "You are aware of what Darius did aren't you?" She continued again as she crossed her hands across her lap. "He gifted us quite the amount of money." She said, almost licking her lips in the process. A staggering amount of ten billion dollars was not little in any way. Even an idiot knew that. "Yes, I know that he tried to

It was Carla's parents who had replied. Madam Felicia had actually called them while she spoke to Philip and they heard the whole conversation. Of course, they were delighted at the way Madam Felicia handled it all. If Philip had any brains, he would do something about it before Darius heard of it all. This was what they intended. "It is amazing how one child can be bring such good luck to our family." Madam Felicia said, smiling to herself with pure satisfaction. "You did well in producing such a fine young woman for our family." She added, complimenting Carla's parents for giving birth to Carla. "Haha, it's the destiny of this family to be great." Carla's mother replied. ***~GBAM!~"Dad! You have to do something about this!" Philip demanded as he barged into his father's office.Mr Churchill almost jumped out of his seat when his door was knocked open in such a bang. "Philip!" His father yelled with a vein popping on his forehead. "What the hell is wrong with you?" "Carla's

Madam Felicia had never felt more excited in her entire life. Double the money?Why would she say no?"Are you sure about that?" She had to ask despite the fact that she didn't actually expect him to change his words. "Is there a problem?" Darius asked with a hidden smile."The thing is... Philip said he would return by morning to finalize it all." Madam Felicia said, trying to rile up Darius in the process. "Is that so?" Darius said with a smug grin. "Are you suggesting that I should come and handle it myself?" He asked with a taunting tone of his own. Both Darius and madam Felicia were aware of what they were both doing. Darius was doing it for the fun of it while Madam Felicia.. her own driving force was greed. Definitely, all that she wanted at the moment was for Darius and Philip to keep the competition running and keep increasing the amount of money that will eventually win the competition between the both of them. She had inadvertently made herself an auctioneer and made Ca

"It's not for you to decide what I can or cannot do." Darius said to madam Felicia with an unrivalled confidence. "Of course." Madam Felicia replied back. Though Darius' reply had left her a bit gobsmacked at his audacity, she recovered fast and went along with the flow. "... you're a grown man of your own after all, and I have no right to determine your actions. However, you don't have to keep pretending that you really can back up your words with the money you claim you have." She said, confident that she was right. Truth be told, when Philip had accused Philip of being a deceiver with the amount of money he was said to have, Madam Felicia had started thinking about it seriously and her mind had found it hard to come to terms with the reality that Darius really had that amount of money that he was throwing about. She felt that whoever it was that was giving him money might actually come eventually to ask for the money back and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. In an
