Anna remained engrossed in her thoughts after the arrogant woman left. She seemed to be mulling over something so profound that it left Jordan wondering whether she was really happy. The scowl on her face was so non-buoyant and baffling. However, remembering how the posh woman had spoken to Anna with zero affection, Jordan had a beardown of strong hunch that something was amiss, but he couldn't meddle. Anna had not received much affection from her parent’s home. All her life with her foster parents, she had absolutely no freedom of speech. The adopted family always reminded her that she would be rotting in the streets or the orphanage if they did not adopt her. And given the fortune she was meant to inherit, she felt more than gratitude for them. Despite their hostility, she bore it all with the gratitude of all she had and still would have all thanks to them. On the other hand, Jordan was beginning to drown in his thoughts of the beckoning misery. The day was going by so fast. The

Edwin felt defeated. How his family would take the news remained a mystery to him, but he knew one thing - his family would never forgive him for what he had done. He felt helpless in this situation. “Let us go!” His eyes were flushing with redness as he spoke to Dianna, who was still trying to digest the situation. The man she just spit out like vomit was now dining with the rich. That was a puzzle that she couldn't crack. The fact that she was having issues with her new lover so soon was weighing on her. She knew Edwin would never forgive her if anything happened to his family because of what she had done. But still, her pride was something she was not willing to gamble on. “I am not leaving.” Diana spoke in an arrogant tone that summoned their eyes to her. She was not a pathetic poor soul who could bow to anyone just at a mere order. And if a merger was something that Edwin’s family needed to fix the issue, she could provide it. Her family was rich. Well, that was what her wild

“Young lady!” One cold roar and Diana’s irritating laughter stopped abruptly. “I don’t get what is so humorous here that is making you cause all this laughter!” Diana swallowed hard, bowing a little to the man’s cold demeanor. However, she didn’t intend to stay with her head hunched for long. The urge to expose Jordan for the useless nobody that he was stroking her pretty badly. She composed herself and lifted her head. They entered the office of Mr. De’Luka, and the door closed. Mr. De’Luka embarked on scrutinizing Jordan again. He wondered whether he was a new businessman that he had idea of. But where could he have emerged from? “What is your name, young man?” He asked Jordan in a cold yet calm voice. Jordan cleared his throat once as he faced the seemingly non-friendly man. “Jordan, sir! Jordan Rivers!” He said. Mr De’Luka toured his eyes around the corners of the room. His thoughts were also spinning as he tried to seek any familiarity with that name. But all was in vain. No

“Then we are going to sue you, Jordan! Let us see if you have what it takes to fight in court. You have no single penny on you so be ready to rot in jail.” Diana sneered after Jordan spoken. If she could not have the contentment of seeing him on the knees apologizing, then she would bask in seeing him behind bars. She had money and Jordan had none. She was certain Jordan would surely end up being locked up. That would be axan enic delight to her. Edwin looked at Jordan and felt a kick out of what he was about to do. He might have had an unbreakable ego, but there was nothing that money and power could not buy. He would use all that was within his power to make Jordan pay. “Let’s see where your arrogance will take you, jerk!” He said, held Diana’s hand, and was ready to head out to work on his plan, but Mr De’Luka stopped them. “No one is filing any charges against anyone!” He spoke, stopping the duo as they gazed at him with furrows on their expressions. Even Mrs De’Luka was taken

Take the offer and be free!? That statement resonated in Jordan’s head with a ticklish irony that left him smirking. Free? Only a dumbass would be stupid enough to fall for that. How free would he be when the man wanted to turn him into his horse to pay off the debt? Only God knew what the man’s plan was, and Jordan at this point was no longer interested. He had just left a toxic home in the name of marriage, he wasn’t just going to throw himself into another toxic environment in the name of work. As for the money, he had something called brains in his head that he could put to use and show the fools that they could not sway him however they wanted. “No, but thank you anyway, for your kind gesture. I can take care of this myself!” He stated with affirmity, crashing the hopes of Mr De’Luka and shocking him and his wife to the core. No one dared to refuse him. No poor pest in Jordan’s situation would think of saying no to such an offer. How dare he? How dare he act all mighty and abl
