Chapter 82 Maintaining his demeanor, Michael replied, “This is because the said company they are planning to tarnish its image belongs to my ex-wife.” “Ex-wife? Why then are you so concerned about it when the both of you are no longer together?” There were some minutes of quietness as Michael was dumbed, figuring out what to answer. “I really don't know why I feel the more attentive to this.” He said and scratched the back of his head. He was also disarrayed by how he was currently becoming too bothered about Rose. Franklin looked at Michael, focused. He pellucid his throat, making his words easily heard. “Sir, don't you think something is attaching you to her that you don't know?” He asked. Michael thought about it for a while and remembering that Rose and him never shared anything in common, he shook his head. “No. Nothing is binding the two of us together.” He responded. Just then an amazed expression formed on Franklin's face as he took a deep breath after having M

Chapter 84 Sandra took a seat beside White, her husband while Cordelia sat opposite them. “Were you able to get him?” Sandra asked again with a frown expression. She hated it when she'd been snubbed. “I wasn't but I have a plan on getting him,” White replied swiftly. Sandra sighed and wrinkled was visibly clear on her forehead. “There's no point in wasting your time on someone like that. He is not even worth your time. Besides, he has no evidence that we did what we have done.” White's face remained furious. “I understand where you're going but I have to teach him a lesson. Even Stephen is in support of this.” “He is?” Sandra's brows furrowed. “I thought Michael is his live-in-son-in-law, why then does he also want him arrested?” “That's because Michael is no longer part of the family.” Cordelia chimed in for the first time since she had arrived. “And even if he still is, they don't give a damn care about him.” Sandra turned and focused her gaze on Cordelia. “Does th

Chapter 86 Good morning to you all,” Stephen responded before he announced. “I want everyone to gather in the hall. I want to make a crucial announcement and it's for everyone.” Back at Stephen's house, Ella arrived there not up to the hour that she had promised. She knocked on the door before twisting the knob and walked in. That moment when she walked in, she saw no one in the living room and she became worried, afraid that perhaps Rose had gone out to abort her pregnancy as she had said earlier. She scanned everywhere but couldn't catch a glimpse of anyone. It was not just Rose that she found missing in the house but everyone- Grandma Isabella, Rose's mother, Maria, her father, Stephen, and even Joseph, her brother. “Where could they all have gone?” Ella muttered but her concern was for Rose. “Rose, I hope you haven't taken that wrong step?” She panicked. Not too long, her words dropped; she overheard familiar voices up the stairs, and without thinking much, she raced

Chapter 88 The delivery man instructed, politely. “Ma'am, your signature is crucial. Please, sign here.” He handed the document to Rose. But Stephen turned and glared at him in rage. He rushed over instantly and dragged the document from Rose's hand as he thundered. “Give that to me.” Stephen yanked the paper from Rose. “Hey, Stephen. What's that for?” Grandma Isabella began to be annoyed. And every other person was stunned. “It's nothing, Mother,” Stephen responded, still with a piercing look at Rose. “You should know why I did this.” He added and turned to the delivery man with a smile, lighting up. “Don't worry, my son here will sign it.” He said. Overwhelmed with confusion and bewilderment, the delivery man asked, trying to be clear. “But Rose is a female name, isn't it? Why would your son be the one to sign it?” He asked, boldly. Stephen groaned inside of himself but answered politely. “That's because he's now the new leader of the company and his signature should

Chapter 90 As White went through it, his face slowly became enraged and darkened. “How was she able to get the contract with them after everything we did?” He ran his hand angrily on the table with his face tightened in rage. “Who could be this new CEO?" He asked rhetorically, wondering. Just then, the answer he got made his angry expression change even worse. “Dad, what if it's Michael,” Cordelia uttered. “I remembered when he said we weren't going to get this contract. What if he decides to give it to his ex-wife then?” White looked at Cordelia in incredulity. “Did you even hear yourself out?” He asked, feeling annoyed at Cordelia's reply. At this moment, he was angry and Cordelia mentioning this useless man's name made him get more furious. “How do you think that worthless man can be the CEO of such a popular and wealthy company?” White shook his head heavily in disgust. “A pig has no place in a clean environment.” Cordelia felt like the most confused person in th
