Outside the hall, Ralph and Giant Gerald were met by a deliveryman holding a package.“Mr. Ross?” the deliveryman inquired.“Yes, that’s me,” Ralph confirmed.“Please sign here,” the deliveryman instructed, handing Ralph a clipboard and pen.Ralph quickly signed for the package, eager to unveil the surprise he had promised Diana. Gerald offered to carry the package back into the hall, where curious eyes followed their return.“What’s in the package, Ralph?” Diana asked eagerly as he approached the table. She appreciated the distraction from Dean and Felicia’s provocative display.“I don’t know. My friend didn’t tell me. I only know it’s an antique,” Ralph replied with a mysterious smile as Gerald carefully set the package down on the table.Dean and Felicia couldn’t hide their surprise. They had assumed Diana and Ralph had nothing to present. It seemed they were wrong.“Where did you get the money to buy this?” Dean asked, his tone skeptical.“Is yours missing?” Ralph retorted, raisin

Chapter Thirty-Two
Ralph raised an eyebrow at Andre's nonchalant response and repeated his question. "When are you going to lick my feet, Andre?"It was the day after the memorial—a Sunday morning. Ralph had just finished swimming and was drying himself off with a towel when Andre appeared, intending to use the pool himself.Andre looked bemused. "Lick your feet? What are you talking about?"Ralph reminded him with a smirk, "Don't tell me you've forgotten your bet already. You promised to lick my feet if we presented a gift worth more than five thousand dollars. And we did. So, it's time to follow through on your words."Meanwhile, the Regal Timepiece had become the centerpiece of conversation at the party, leaving everyone in awe and curiosity about how Diana and Ralph had acquired such a magnificent gift. Lady Margarita, in particular, couldn't conceal her surprise, realizing that her attempts to ridicule them had fallen short. Even West had been shocked to the marrow of her bones. In short, all membe

Chapter Thirty-Three
The big Summers Dining Hall was bustling with activity as the family gathered for their usual Sunday morning breakfast. On weekdays, they usually went their separate ways and ate whatever and whenever they liked, but weekends brought them together under one roof. Lady Margarita, seated at the head of the table, radiated authority and elegance, enjoying the company of her family although she still found it hard to do away with her favoritism.Dean and Felicia sat nearby, engaged in quiet conversation as they stole glances at Ralph and Diana. Breakfast options included pancakes, bacon, and fruit platters, tempting everyone to dig in."Let's start," Lady Margarita announced, signaling the beginning of the meal, and everyone began to eat.Ralph and Diana sat calmly, unfazed by the tension from the previous day. Fancy, the newcomer, cautiously picked at her food, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. Liam, sitting next to her, offered reassuring smiles to ease her nerves.Lionel and

Chapter Thirty-Four
The announcement of the newly released Rovers Luxuria sent shockwaves across the internet, with every media outlet featuring it as their top headline. The buzz surrounding the car was heightened by its limited edition status, making it even more desirable.Lady Margarita was unsettled, not by the news of the car itself, but by the revelation that only Souls Automobiles Dealers and Huffs Auto Distributors would be the exclusive distributors for the limited new brand. She couldn't understand why Summers Luxury Automobiles wasn't included. What had happened?Lady Margarita wasted no time and immediately sought answers. First, she reached out to Victor Sterling who reminded her he was no longer the director. She then attempted to contact Richard Anderson, but received no response. Frustrated and determined, she sought out Andre, catching him just as he was about to leave for work in his Rovers Classic."Andre, have you seen the news?" Lady Margarita inquired urgently."What news?" Andre r

Chapter Thirty-Five
When Diana offered to take Ralph to his destination, he politely declined.“I'll use public transport from here. You should go quickly before that anonymous man changes his mind. It’s getting late already,” Ralph admonished.“Okay then. Please retrieve your bicycle soon,” Diana advised.“I will,” Ralph promised, knowing full well the bicycle was not coming back, especially with Fancy being suspicious of him.“And do well with the interview,” Diana added.“I will try my best.”After Ralph exited the car, Diana drove off swiftly. He didn’t have to wait long before Giant Gerald pulled up in front of him, and Ralph hopped in. He had discreetly called Gerald with Diana’s phone before leaving and had instructed him to pick him up at that point.“Do you want to get a new phone, young boss?” Ralph had told Gerald about the situation with his phone when they talked earlier.“Not yet. It’s an excuse for them to not be able to reach me. I’ll just tell them Lionel sank my phone,” Ralph replied, u

Chapter Thirty-Six
Lady Margarita had been getting flooded with calls from eager customers inquiring about the availability of the new Rovers Luxuria at Summers Luxury Automobiles."We will have it soon. Just give us until the end of the day," she assured one caller."But I saw that you are not listed as a distributor in the news?" another caller questioned."That was a serious oversight. You know Summers Luxury Automobiles. We are always at the forefront of luxury cars," Lady Margarita replied confidently, masking her concern."Great. I will call you back at the end of the day then. Please reserve one for me," the caller requested eagerly, reassured by Lady Margarita's response.Lady Margarita was left feeling frustrated as Andre continued to ignore her calls, leaving her uncertain about how to handle inquiries regarding the availability of the luxury car. Despite her uncertainty, she reassured callers that Summers Luxury Automobiles would have the car by the end of the day.Puzzled by her company's re

Chapter Thirty-Seven
Ralph had finished updating Giant Gerald on the story of his life, from his departure from the slums of Vernice to the present, yet Gerald still couldn't grasp why Ralph was concealing his newfound status—a status many would willingly flaunt."I need to prepare myself for public life. It’s not a lifestyle I'm accustomed to. Besides, I want to address my in-laws for treating me like trash all these years. It hasn't been easy living under their roof with my poor condition," Ralph explained, addressing Gerald's lingering question."I see. You have a supportive wife," Gerald remarked."Yes, but sometimes, she's torn between loyalty to her family and her love for me. I want to provide her with everything, but gradually. Let’s see how well she'll do with her new contract.""She's beautiful. She'd make a good model," Giant Gerald commended Diana's beauty."I know, right. Now, let’s talk about you. Have you been able to come up with any business ideas?" Ralph redirected the conversation to Ge

Chapter Thirty-Eight
It was now evident to every member of the Summers family that the company’s name had been intentionally removed from the list of exclusive distributors of the new luxury car, disproving Lady Margarita's claim of oversight. A document delivered by a mail delivery man and also sent to the company’s email address confirmed this, further stating that Rovers Group would cease business with any Summers enterprise until further notice. Lady Margarita stared angrily at the document as if she could vent all her anger on it.“But the company will do business with Diana. How? Is she not a Summers?” She asked no one in particular. She hadn’t expected that to be the kind of contract Diana would get. Her frustration was palpable as she looked from one person to the other seeking explanation. Her family had gathered at the dining table at her summon. Obviously, Lady Margarita loved calling emergency meetings in times of trouble especially if it was bigger than her.Bridget, Wade, Bony, Wendell, Liam

“Fine. I signed the agreement in my vulnerable moment, and I have learned my lesson,” Diana admitted.“Good girl! Get the contract right away,” Lady Margarita said.The others marveled at how Lady Margarita eventually won the argument. She smiled mischievously, forgetting the bigger reason she had called the meeting. West was near tears. Her hope for a better rank in the family was about to be dashed. For once, she regretted pressuring her daughter into making such a decision.“On one condition…” Diana declared.Ralph smiled knowingly. Soon, his grandmother-in-law would have no choice but to ask him questions. The others were eager to hear the condition.“Condition? There’s no other condition attached to the agreement,” Lady Margarita clarified.“If Andre cannot keep to his vow, I have no reason to give him the contract,” Diana announced.“Andre? Vow? What vow?” Bridget asked.“Ask Ralph!” Diana replied.Lady Margarita turned to Ralph, who did not budge. She was confused about Diana’s

Chapter Forty
Two days later, Diana arrived at the headquarters of Rovers Group to submit the signed contract. Richard Anderson welcomed her into his office, where the other directors were already seated. As Diana entered, Victor couldn't conceal his contemptuous glare at Richard. He couldn't shake off the feeling that he should have been the one addressing the other directors, not Richard. Secretly, he yearned to uncover why Richard was chosen over him by Mr. R.R."I present to you the latest and the most beautiful model in town, Ms. Diana Summers," announced Richard.The others clapped, some willingly, some reluctantly. No one dared to question the criteria used in selecting Diana, who hadn't even applied for modeling at Rovers. They clapped, unsure if the anonymous boss was observing their reactions from his secret office."Emily, ensure she models the latest designs from Rovers Fashion and have the publicity team feature her pictures in the news as the newest addition to our models.
