Lola blinked a few times, confused by her roommate's sudden outburst, she hadn’t even fully gotten into the apartment yet. “What are you talking about?” she asked, eyebrows arched. “Haven’t you seen what has been trending online? There’s this video of a man at La bourge, paying for his purchase in cash, and according to insider information, the ice diamond necklace was the only unit that was sold in the store that day, so according to most social media users, he bought the necklace for a woman.” Lola’s head was already spinning from listening to all this information at once. “What makes you so sure that it’s the same necklace? Maybe the one he got is different.” “Do you know this man you went out with that well? What if he was a silent billionaire and you didn’t know?” “That’s ridiculous Rosaline, it’s Matthew and I know him well enough to know that he’s not a billionaire, he used to be a car washer just a couple of days ago.” Her enthusiasm was dampened, but then it was qui

“Yes it’s true,” Matthew declared in a monotonous voice. “But he has been antagonizing me ever since the very first day that we met, and then today at the store, he intentionally picked the same suit I picked earlier and had asked the sales girl to pack. He refused to let it go and tried to collaborate with the store manager to cheat me.”Amelia's expression loosened, and she turned to face Xander. He quickly grew defensive. “He’s lying! He punched me because I refused to let go of the suit that I rightfully picked.”Their grandmother began massaging her temples. “That’s enough for you two,” she began. “I don’t even know who to believe,” she muttered her breath.Charles stepped forward. “I’m afraid young master Xander is lying,” he said with a straight face, consequences be damned. Raymond and his son were both thrown back by the butler's remark. “How dare you accuse my son of lying? Who the hell do you think you are?”“Enough, you will not speak to Charles like that, not if I can he

Matthew’s gaze is slightly confused as he looks between Ashley and Lola. After purchasing the ice neckpiece, it began stirring up a frenzy online, prompting him to want to learn more about it. He did a little research and discovered that the woman who made this piece only produced one commercially available piece. Most people knew this. It only meant that one person was wearing a fake. Vito laughed, making a few heads turn to see what was happening. “I knew it! You bought a fake!” she said. Ashley instinctively grabbed the necklace, grazing it with her fingers. Then she looked at Matthew and shook her head. “Old habits never die. You still have the habit of buying fake things, huh?” Matthew was standing there unfazed. “Why are you so obsessed with me? Both of you always make it a point to try and confront me every chance you get. If you guys ask me, I’d say you’re just in pain.”The two girls shared a look and then began laughing softly. “You must think so highly of yourself,” Vit

Rumor about what had happened immediately began to fly around and soon Amelia heard of it, she hurriedly came out to find Matthew and she found him at the restroom trembling with anger and embarrassment.“Matthew, what just happened? What is this nonsense I’m hearing about you and a fake surprise?” She questioned.“Grandma, whatever you heard is correct. Someone tried to make a fool out of me and they succeeded.” He stated.“Explain further.” “Someone called me out saying there was a surprise for me, I had second thoughts about it, but I decided to go try because he sounded very convincing. I went out, unwrapped the car, only to see how dirty and smelly it was, and to crown it all up, there was a bold ‘wash me’ inscription on it.” Matthew explained, making air quotes.“Who did this?” Amelia calmly asked, she was trying to contain her anger. Who would publicly embarrass her grandson in that manner?“If i did have an idea, I wouldn’t be here.” Matthew responded.“We are going to get to

Raymond stuck his hands into his pocket and walked away, leaving the rest of them behind. Amelia, who was already stressed, made her way to her room. Charles was about to depart when Matthew called him. “Charles.”He paused and looked over his shoulders, “Yes young master?”“That thing that Xander said… Does Raymond abuse his wife?”A long sigh escaped the butler's lips. “Some things are better left unsaid. The little I can tell you is that you should not be too trusting of anyone in this family, except your grandmother.”“And you,” he added as Charles was walking away. “If you do, please,” He replied with a shrug. Tomorrow was going to be his first official day at work, he knew that he had to start getting ready for that as well. Much to his Knowledge, Xander worked in the company as well but since his father had suspended him, Matthew felt a little relieved since it meant that he didn’t have to deal with being within the same vicinity with his cousin which meant less drama.
