"Mr Oscar, you don't understand, you should be throwing Max Xanderson and Melissa Stevens out of the event center and not Ray Owens!""What are you doing?!"Richard Hinnbergs voice was laced with anger as he stared at Ray Owens being dragged out of the venue.Mr Oscar immediately darted an angry face at Richard Hinnbergs, his face stern and laced with determination.Richard Hinnbergs immediately kept quiet and plopped into his seat to avoid being thrown out of the venue.He knew that Mr Oscar was the chief security officer to Mrs Betty Jordan, and he might be risking his bidding access if he tried to cause any further upheaval in the event center.The event started off with some presentations from the dancing team and other entertainers.As the event went on Richard Hinnbergs was lost in his thoughts.'Why was my friend Ray Owens punished instead of Max?''I thought the grand general had returned the favor to Max for saving his life from that bullet?''Why does it still seem that he i

"Something must be wrong somewhere.""I bet Melissa Stevens got insider information not to come here with any gifts.""This is unlike the Stevens I know, Lady Megan Stevens would definitely load up a lot of gifts for the grand general just to get his favor in a situation like this one.""Someone must have tipped them off.""Something is definitely going on and I will get to the root of it somehow and somewhere."Richard Hinnbergs voice was laced with venom as he continued staring at Melissa Stevens at the podium celebrating her success, his gaze all reeking with jealousy and disdain.Moments later, the bidding event was finally over as everyone retired back to their homes.The news of Melissa Stevens's sudden and mysterious win was all over the internet and the city.************************************************The time was 5.00 pm in the evening, Mrs Sophia Stevens had seen and heard on the television and radio that her daughter, Melissa Stevens had won the grand general's exclu

The next morning, Melissa Stevens, Mrs Sophia and Max Xanderson arrived at the Stevens Fort and proceeded immediately to the anteroom to wait for the meeting with Lady Megan Stevens.Immediately Lady Megan Stevens walked into the anteroom followed by Eunice, Bryan, Denise and Logan Stevens.They were all walking behind her like obedient servants."What a circus show."Max Xanderson muttered to himself as he forced himself not to burst into laughter.Sitting down in her usual high seat made of Vicuna wool, the most expensive wool in the world, Lady Megan Stevens signals to everyone to take their seats."So Melissa Stevens, I heard you were able to win the whole two billion dollar contract from the grand general's bidding event…Do you have the contract with you as I requested?"Lady Megan Stevens' voice was laced with authority as she spoke.Melissa Stevens immediately stared at her mom before nodding slowly, "Yes Grandma, I have the contract just as you requested."Melissa Stevens repl

"One more thing before it slips my mind, Melissa Stevens, your dad's twenty-five percent shares are actually not with Stevens Global Group.""Mr Walter Stevens Twenty-five percent shares are actually with one of our subsidiary companies.""The Lexington Corporations run by Mr Thomas."Lady Megan Stevens' voice was barely above whispers and laced with authority as she spoke.Melissa Stevens stared at her mom almost immediately and back at Max Xanderson."Grandma, isn't the Lexington Corporation on the verge of bankruptcy?""The manager of the Lexington Corporation had announced some days ago that the company was going down the drain.""He even announced his resignation.""Grandma, I don't really get what you are talking about!""What is really going on here?!"Melissa Stevens' voice was laced with a mixture of anger and frustration as she spoke.Max Xanderson only gazed upon Lady Megan Stevens and her grandchildren.The situation was intense and palpable, Lady Megan Stevens began, "Mel

Still at the Stevens Fort, Lady Megan Stevens is still pacing around the anteroom with the contract in her hand as she smiles gleefully."This calls for celebration and jubilation.""Quick, call the best of chefs you can find and let's celebrate this grand victory!""It's not everyday you win a two billion dollar deal with the dreaded grand general.""This is the first time we are hitting such a massive deal as a family company!""We are going to be one of the top elite families in Westerville very soon!"Lady Megan Stevens' voice was laced with exhilaration.In a matter of hours, the meeting hall of the Stevens family had been transformed and arranged into a banquet hall.The hall was a dazzling spectacle of opulence and grandeur.Lady Megan Stevens had always loved the class and wasn't going to let this night go down without a touch of class and opulence, especially now that the Stevens family had won the highly sought-after two billion dollar deal with the grand general's Springfie
