"My excellent son is finally home," Lady Gaga said with a smile as Kay walked into the living room. The entire family was gathered there waiting for his arrival.Lady Gaga had even ordered the maids to prepare delicious delicacies to celebrate her son's success. In her mind, the contract will elevate their status in the eyes of others.Kay stood in front of the Brighton family with a stiff smile.Lady Gaga and the rest of the family were confused on seeing his expression. They were all waiting for the good news but Kay had walked in here looking gloomy.Did something happen at the Wellington's company?Did the chairman reject the contract?"Kay, what's wrong?" Lady Gaga asked impatiently. "Wasn't the contract signed successfully?""We weren't awarded the contract," Kay muttered. "The chairman didn't like it."Lady Gaga raised a brow. The board themselves had approved the proposal and even called it one of their best. She also went through it and felt it was good.What were the chairma

Brandon shook his head at Dave's behaviour. " I would advise you don't reveal your identity just yet. You know what would happen if you do."Dave nodded. "Yes I do. Abraham told me I had a brother." "Yes, you do and you will meet him soon and also get ready for a confrontation."Dave glanced at him with a raised brow. "Why would my brother confront me? We haven't seen each other for years now. There shouldn't be any reason for that."Brandon smiled slightly. "Young master, don't be too naive. I heard that your ex wife has been troubling you, maybe with this marriage it could chase her off your back.""Don't tell me that you're trying to lure me into another marriage with this.""No, no. I'm not trying to lure you in at all. It's actually for your own good. And your grandfather has made a deal with theirs, if you get married to her, an alliance between the Wellingtons and their family will make their family grow stronger.""So they are using us as prawns in their game?" Dave asked, fur

Dave turned his head and was met with the Lily who had a shocked expression on her face on seeing him. He narrowed his eyes. This woman seemed to be everywhere after his divorce, he glanced at the man beside her who was holding her like they were some couple and he couldn’t help but shake his head.The man beside her exuded an air of pride. He was dressed in rather expensive wears. His eyes had dark circles beneath them with a lustful gaze as he stared at Sophia. He must be a frequent drunk and womanizer.Was this the woman he had married?Jumping into the arms of any man who was rich and would want to have her? Who knows, while he had kept late nights waiting for his wife? She had been out, warming the beds of rich men.Lisa glanced at the ladies beside Dave and she found one to be particularly beautiful. Even more beautiful than her, she looked like a very rich lady because she had the pose of a noble. Jealously crept into her bones and she glanced at Dave with disdain.“So after ou

Sophia stared at her sister. "You're too young to understand how the world works. It's unfair to everyone, and if getting married to that man would make the family as useful then I would gladly give up myself.""You're sick!" Clementine spat out angrily and ran up the stairs. Mia walked up to her daughter. "You can still walk out of this madness.""I have made up my mind, mother. I can't change it or we both know what will happen. I can't let us go live on the streets when there is an alternative."Mia bursted into tears. "Xander just wants to destroy my daughter's life," she cried, rubbing her fingers on Sophia's delicate skin."Mom, stop crying. All this won't solve any of our problems. We have to look for a way to go through all these and still come out strong," Sophia said, wiping her tears."Unfortunately, I am not as strong as you as my dear.""You are stronger than you think mother," Sophia said, holding her shoulder in a comforting manner. Taking one glance at her father, Sop

At that point, Dave entered the office and everyone turned towards him with expectant gazes.Seeing him with nothing, the clerk couldn't help but sneer. "Seems you didn't bring anything just like I had predicted," She said with a smug smile.Sophia looked at Dave with disappointment. "You couldn't get a ring? I told you to let Charlotte buy a ring for us but you refused."The other couples who were waiting in line to get married couldn't help but witness amongst themselves."What kind of a man is this? He couldn't even bring a ring for his wife!""He even had the audacity to come back empty handed.""Don't y'all see how poorly dressed he is, how can he possibly afford a ring?""And his wife is really beautiful. I pity her.""Don't pity her, she isn't blind to know how poor her husband is. If I were her, I would have left here a long time ago but she's still here."Dave looked at them and said, "I have a ring ready for my wife. It's just taking time for it to get here.""You still have
