CHAPTER 271
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back!/South Ashan
“Jeremiah paid two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to a mortician before coming here? Huh?” Elizabeth looked at Jeremiah and was dumbfounded. Wasn’t this the same poor and decrepit Jeremiah who couldn’t take her cousin, Mary, on a worthwhile honeymoon because he didn’t have the money? He was so how on earth did he get a quarter of a million dollars to pay for his mother’s body to be prepared for her funeral? Elizabeth felt like she had woken up in an alternate reality where things weren’t how they were supposed to be and she couldn’t accept it.“I’m sorry madam Deborah but I feel like you’re mistaken. I know that guy very well and he definitely couldn’t have done what you said he did” Elizabeth said, smiling nervously. “Are you calling me a liar?” Deborah frowned and Elizabeth jolted. Her eyes also widened, afraid that she had just insulted her boss.“Of course not, madam Deborah. I definitely did not do that” Elizabeth shook her head vigorously. “It’s just that I can’t accept

“What?” Elizabeth asked, her face smeared with confusion.She couldn’t understand why Deborah was insulting her. ‘Am I misunderstanding something? Shouldn’t the insults be hurled at Jeremiah? It should so what the hell was going on here?’ She asked herself but saw that Deborah’s anger and frustration were aimed at her.“W-what did I do, madam?” Elizabeth asked, stuttering every syllable. “I just spoke to Emmanuella Justice and she confirmed that she knows Jeremiah personally. According to her, he is a very nice person and she had such a positive attitude towards him that she told me to give him the best treatment possible. She also said that he didn’t just pay for her mortician services but he paid for the express package. Do you know how much her express package is worth?” Elizabeth gulped.Everyone else in the aisle, who was extremely shocked by what Deborah had just said, was intrigued to know the price of Emmanuella Justice’s express package. “No, madam. How much is it?“ Eliza

People like Deborah were next to impossible to receive forgiveness from once someone got on their bad side because they usually tolerate a lot and are very slow to anger.“I truly am sorry, madam Deborah. This is the only good-paying job I can get with my qualifications so my life will essentially be over if you fire me. I’ve been working here for years, giving my life and energy to make sure the customers are satisfied so please don’t throw me away because of a single incident. I swear it will never happen again” Elizabeth begged desperately.Deborah, who still wasn’t pleased, scoffed.“Instead of begging me, you should be apologizing to Jeremiah for your blatant disrespect. You made him look like a terrible person in front of all these people and me, so the least you could do is beg him for forgiveness but you haven’t which shows you aren’t sorry about what you—“ Deborah said but Elizabeth cut her off.“No, that isn’t the case madam! Of course, I’m sorry for what I did to him. It’s

From what she had heard when she forced her way into Jeremiah’s conversation with Susan and even when he was about to leave when he mentioned Emmanuella Justice’s name, Jeremiah had said that he was there to buy a single dress for his mother’s corpse. The most expensive dress they had on sale was worth seventy thousand dollars, which was roughly Elizabeth’s annual salary as a salesperson. So, would Deborah really choose seventy thousand dollars over her, a salesperson with years of experience and relationship with the customers? It wouldn’t make any sense to do that so things might be in her favor. Elizabeth thought and started to grin internally. Since Jeremiah wasn’t her in-law anymore, their relationship had been terminated, meaning she couldn’t benefit from his newly found wealth so there was nothing for her to gain if Jeremiah was chosen over her. As such, she prefer if he left and died somewhere with all his money. Just then, the other customers in the store started to murm

“How does it look?” Deborah asked, holding the dress in her hands and showing it to Jeremiah. “Hmm” Jeremiah groaned, his hand on his chin as he assessed the dress— trying to imagine his mother’s body in it and wondering if it would look good on her Jeremiah had a really great poker face, so looking at him Deborah wasn’t sure if he liked the dress or not and was worried that he didn’t because of what happened with Elizabeth.Was it that he didn’t like the dress because of how it looked or had the incident with Elizabeth soiled his mood to the point that nothing she showed him would suffice? In that case, all she had done to appease Jeremiah might have been wasted if his mood still hadn’t improved.Deborah just hoped she was reading too much into things and Jeremiah was just trying to decide on his impression of the dress.“Can I hold it and see?” Jeremiah asked and Deborah nodded.She handed him the dress and continued to wait for a positive look from Jeremiah after being in her own

Jeremiah drove to Emmanuella’s funeral home and parked in front. He got off the motorcycle and walked to the building with the bag from Sun-ray’s Delight clothing store in his hand. By the entrance was Dave, the elderly man who had followed him to the hospital to get his mother’s corpse, waiting to welcome him. “You’ve come back and with what I assume is the dress for your mother’s corpse” Dave said, looking at the bag in Jeremiah’s hand. “Yes, it is” Jeremiah replied as he raised the bag and stopped by the entrance. “The Gustav Bulmane Fox dress, just as Emmanuella suggested. So, where is she?” “If you’re asking about the boss then she’s in her office, working on the corpse as promised” Dave said, using his expression to ask Jeremiah if he wanted to go in and see Emmanuella or he was just there to deliver the dress and head back home. Jeremiah’s eyes widened a bit. “Oh. I didn’t think she was going to start working on the corpse immediately I paid for the express servi

The phone rang a few times and then stopped when nobody answered.Jeremiah groaned with dissatisfaction as he stared at the phone screen.“This fool who’s always with his phone suddenly isn’t answering now that I’m the one calling. I wonder what he’s doing that’s keeping him from answering” Jeremiah said.He contemplated calling again but decided against it because if Daniel was anywhere near his phone then he would have answered it when he first called but he didn’t.“Whatever. I’ll just call him tomorrow when I’m sure he will be his—“ Jeremiah said but was interrupted when his phone rang.“This motherfucker” Jeremiah chuckled as he stared at Daniel’s caller ID.He answered the call and then pressed the phone to his ear.[“Where the hell have you been, huh you fool?! I tried reaching out after that stuff we talked about on the night of your one-year wedding anniversary but no answer. Then I went to your place to check up on you and I was told that you’ve been kicked out for attacking

Jeremiah and Daniel did what they used to do when they hung out and talked for hours on end about different things.Jeremiah prepared a crate of bears for their enjoyment, and put on a game on the television for them to watch while talking and everything was perfect for their little reunion.Daniel was Jeremiah’s best friend so after talking about different things, he steered the conversation into telling him everything that happened after they last spoke on the night of his one year wedding anniversary. Things like how he had caught Mary cheating on him when he went to Ludwig Resort after his call with Daniel, how the person she cheated with was Paul Ludwig, how Mary told him that she wanted a divorce, and how Paul beat him up and then sent the security to throw him out.Jeremiah also told Daniel about what happened that caused the people of his former apartment to say he beat them up. He told Daniel what the landlord and the other tenants did and how Silver, an unknown military woma

“What? You don’t want to be my best man or something?” He asked.“No, that’s not it”“Then what is it? Replying “Fuck” with such a tone and look after I gave you such wonderful news doesn’t seem very appropriate if you ask me,” Daniel said.Jeremiah smacked his tongue exasperatedly.“There, you’ve done it again. What’s the matter with you?” Daniel asked, gradually getting annoyed by Jeremiah’s response to the news. “I was going to let it go but you just had to go and make me your best man. Now it looks like I have no choice but to get involved”“What the hell are you talking about talking about? You have no choice but to get involved in what?” Daniel grimaced.“Your family ring. I’m left with no choice but to help you get it”“Huh?” Daniel’s eyes widened. “What do you mean help me get it?” “Exactly what I said. I’ll find it for you, wherever it is, and it’s going to be the ring you engage Rachael with, just as was intended by your ancestors” Daniel almost fell out of his chair afte

A few minutes later, Jeremiah came to a stop in front of the Jewelry Store which to his surprise looked very busy with all the cars he saw parked in front. However, that wasn’t his concern so he ignored all of them and headed to the entrance of the jewelry store. He grabbed the door, read the sign which said push to open and he pushed with a good amount of strength but to his surprise, the door didn’t budge. Because he had expected the door to open when he pushed, Jeremiah had also stepped forward but since the door didn’t open as anticipated, he almost bumped into it and would have if not thanks to his quick reflexes. “What the hell? It’s locked? I thought it was supposed to be open by this time?” Jeremiah grimaced with annoyance. He tried pushing the door again but it didn’t open then he looked at the sign on the door and saw that he was pushing the door in the right direction which only meant that the door was locked.Jeremiah groaned in annoyance and let go of the handle. He
