Matilda’s eyes lit up and she refuted confidently, “Mind what you say, Lewis William! I did not invite you to my house to call me a liar!” Lewis scoffed and looked away from her. “I will not mind what I say, nor will I stop cussing you out when I know you’re obviously trying to fool me and everyone here!” “You don’t only claim to be living in the most beautiful house in Springdale, but you also claim to have such an influential figure working as your butler.” “What else will you lie about? That your wretched son-in-law is the rumored trillionaire whom everyone has been searching for? Don’t make me laugh, you pathetic liar!” Matilda clenched her fist tightly and gritted her teeth in anger. But instead of lashing out at him, she controlled her anger and hummed slightiy. “You’ve done nothing but insult me ever since you got off the bus. How do you intend to apologize to me for calling me a liar once I lead you into my house and present Joshua Mendez as my family’s butler?” Lew

Chloe’s tired eyes which were half-way closed, flew open and took in the sight before her. Honey was scared seeing the strangers in their house and scurried closer to her mother. Chloe bent slightly and scooped her into her arms protectively. She didn’t remember Matilda had invited people from the party last night. She raised her eyes to meet Matilda’s and asked solemnly, “Mother, what is going on? Who are these people and what are they doing in our house?” Before Matilda could reply, Lewis leaned away from the wall and sneered in contempt. “What is this? Is your entire family really trying to deceive us into thinking you own this house? How shameless!” The guests believed him without thinking twice and and lashed out at Matilda. “Mrs. Miller, unlike you, we have better things to do than stay in a house belonging to someone else. Hurry up and hold up to your own end of the bargain by slapping yourself across the face until Lewis William is satisfied!”“Yes, do that! I’ve heard

Lewis hissed and took the phone down when he heard the call disconnect tone. “Tsk! This cunt hung up. She probably realized she’s been caught impersonating the minister!” Adam clasped his hands behind him and sneered at Ethan in disgust. “Not only did you lie to your wife and her family into believing this house is yours, you’re now trying to trick grown-up like us into believing you just called the minister. Have you no shame, Ethan Black?!” One of the guests stepped forward and harrumphed impatiently. “I can’t stand his shamelessness any longer. Why don’t we talk to the security in front? I’m sure they will be more than happy to know they’ve been treating the wrong people as the owner of this house!” Others nodded in agreement. “Yes, I agree. They’ll be able to drag him out and put him in his place better than we can.” Honey shuddered and wrapped her arms even tighter around Chloe’s neck.“Mommy, these strangers are scary. Are they street thugs? I don’t want them in our hous

Everyone turned to see a group of men in black suit and dark sunshades hurriedly walking towards them with a serious look on their faces. When they got to the front, they halted and made a path in their midst. Only then did everyone see a sophisticated woman who seemed to be in her late 20s walking forward majestically. She was wearing a stylish, form-fitting black suit that featured a double-breasted blazer with prominent gold buttons. The blazer had a structured design, emphasizing her waist and giving her a sleek, tailored look. Accompanied with it was a matching black trouser. It was high-waisted, long, and flared out slightly towards the bottom, elongating her legs. She completed the outfit with pointed black shoes that peeked out from underneath the trousers. She wore her long, dark hair loose letting it cascade down her side. Matilda would’ve been the first to ask who she was and what she was doing in their house if she wasn’t scared by the frightening men in suit behind

Her assistant raised his eyes and cautiously reminded her, “Minister Montgomery, weren’t they just talking about some kind of bargain? Apparently, it has something to do with them slapping themselves on the face.” Lewis, who was still reeling from the shock of what she said to him, instinctively refuted him through clenched teeth. “What are you talking about? How does the bargain we had have anything to do with you?” Claire placed a hand akimbo on her waist and scoffed, “What do you mean, Lewis? You should keep to your own end of the bargain by…” Lewis didn’t wait for her to finish as he instantly cut her off by shouting, “Shut your darn mouth, Claire William! Do you even have a conscience? How could you keep insisting that our grandfather slap himself on the face just to satisfy your ego?!” Claire was taken aback by his words as she also found it unproper that her grandfather was to slap himself. No matter what, Adam was her grandfather. So it naturally didn’t sit well with her
