Chapter 142 Immediately, the receptionist received the unexpected slap; she screamed in pain, “What's that for?” Her anger rose but as a worker, trying not to paint the hotel's image bad, she held herself. But she called out to the security guards in pain, “Securites, come take her away!” Her voice dripped with pain and anger. Within a minute, security guards rushed in. The receptionist then yelled at them with command, pointing at Lucy, “Get her out of this place now!” With a nod, the security guards gripped Lucy’s wrist firmly, dragging her outside. “Leave me! Let me go, you brats!” She yelled at the security guards, trying to break free from their grips but failed. “Ah! She was not only a prostitute but a lunatic. Oh, mine.” The woman who had made the mock comment earlier said, hitting her forehead. “You? Just be quiet!” Lucy glared at her with so much hate. She tried to attack the woman but the security guards’ powerful grips didn't let her. Finally, the securit

Chapter 144Just after Ella finished unwrapping the package, she staggered back, “Gold jewelry?” She muttered in shock, looking at the sparkling and mind-blowing gold jewelry. Her eyes blinked as she stared at it and her eyes shifted to Michael, “A gold jewelry? Where did you get it from?” She asked.Michael smiled, “From a jewelry store, of course. Where else do they sell it?” He asked.Ella wore a frown. She said, “That's not what I mean! My question is where did you get the money to buy it?” Her expression was filled with startlement.Michael was about to respond to her but then, the onlooker started to talk.“Oh, wow! That's the most expensive gold jewelry in a jewelry store.” One man said, “I took my wife to buy her that exact type, but the price was somewhat frightening, so I have to leave it and get her the silver jewelry instead.” He added, his eyes were wide open, envying the gold jewelry. “As for me, I have no intention of going to the jewelry store any time soon.” Another

Chapter 146 The sales clerk smiled inside of her and said as she nodded her head, “Nice. It's working.” She then faked an angry face to continue with her act. Michael threw a fierce stare at the sales clerk, knowing she was acting but then looked at the manager, “How could you be so fast in judging someone? I bought gold jewelry from her. I transferred the money, but there was a network issue, so I had to pay with my card, telling her that I'd come back for the money once it dropped, and it has.” Michael quickly brought out his phone to back up his claim. He tried to show it to the manager but he was too angry to even look at him. “Enough!” He stopped Michael from getting close to him. “I don't want to hear any more words from you.” He paused and continued. “You want me to believe in your forged lies? Huh? How real does your story sound? You bought gold jewelry and made a transfer with your phone and when there was a network problem, you paid with your card and left without w

Chapter 148 Meanwhile, at Stephen Manor, Grandma Isabella had been standing at the back of Rose when she was on call with Ella, and after she finished, she asked, “Was that Ella?” Rose turned around while sitting on the sofa, she released a relieved smile, nodding her head, “Yes, Grandma. She was the one.” Grandma Isabella returned her smile, noticing her happiness, “I can see how happy you look now. But why has she not been coming over to the house? Is she alright?” Grandma Isabella had no idea that Ella had been thrown out of her home by her husband. The other day when Rose visited Ella's home and came back sad, she didn't tell her about the incident. Rose sighed, her expression turning into frustration, “Yes, she's fine but now single. Her husband had her thrown out of the home because of her barrenness.” She explained briefly. “What?” Grandma Isabella was taken aback, “He did that to her? Oh, poor Ella, who knows how she's doing.” She exclaimed, bitterly. She shook

Chapter 150 Michael's words sounded serious to Morgan but he chuckled instead, “What for? And why should I take you to him when you have no business deal?” He asked, mockingly. Michael grinned, shrugging, “Who knows if I'm here for something else.” He said, Morgan chuckled lightly for the second time, “Something else?” He asked. “Does it look like we do something else apart from selling building materials, machines, and lots more here?” He paused, narrowing his eyes into Michael's, and then continued, “Besides, this place is only meant for people who have lands and ongoing building projects and not for people who can't even feed themselves.” Michael understood the direction of Morgan's words, however, he pressed, looking solemn, “So, I can see the manager now! Maybe when I'm done, you'll know the reason why I came here.” He said, “Hmm. Whatever!” Morgan said, carefree. “But make sure you aren't going to beg, or you'll see yourself being beaten and thrown out.” He added as
