ALL I LOST : THE FIRST HEIR Chapter 107
As Betty returned home, she found Philip waiting in the living room, his arms crossed and a stern expression on his face. He had been aware of his mother's meeting with Perry, and he was not pleased."So, how did it go?" Philip asked, his voice tinged with disapproval.Betty took a deep breath, bracing herself for her son's reaction. "It didn't go as I expected. Perry was... cold, distant. She didn't seem willing to let go of her anger towards me, and she insisted on putting a hold on any discussions about the Chairman position until after her father's burial."Philip scoffed. "Why did you even apologize, Mother? This is a sign of weakness! Perry and Alonso will see it as an opportunity to mock us, to think they have the upper hand."Betty sighed, feeling torn between her desire to mend the broken relationship with Perry and her son's concerns. "I understand your point, Philip, but I felt it was necessary. I hurt Perry deeply, and I need to take responsibility for my actions. Besides,

Perry and Betty finally agreed to come together for a meeting to finalize the details of the burial. Despite their lingering resentment and clashing visions, they understood the need to find common ground for the sake of honouring their loved one's memory.Perry and Betty sat across from each other in a small, dimly lit café, their faces etched with a mix of grief and determination. The time had come for them to finalize the details of the burial, a task they had been avoiding for weeks with their constant arguments and disagreements. As the waitress brought their cups of coffee, the air seemed heavy with unspoken tension.Betty spoke first, her voice filled with a mix of sorrow and determination.Betty took a deep breath and looked at Perry. "Thank you for meeting me, Perry. I know this is difficult for both of us, but we need to make decisions together for the sake of your father, my beloved husband."Perry scoffed and nodded, her eyes flickering with a hint of resentment. "Let's ju

Days passed, and the tension between Perry and Betty remained unresolved although they had come to a compromise for the burial. Despite their differences and the palpable animosity that had poisoned their relationship, the burial day arrived. Perry's desire for a simple and quiet ceremony was first, and she had made the necessary arrangements accordingly.On a sunny morning, friends and family gathered at a serene cemetery nestled in the countryside. The atmosphere was solemn, as mourners paid their respects to Perry's father. The air was filled with heartfelt prayers and gentle sobs, echoing the grief that had enveloped everyone's hearts.Perry stood near the open grave, her eyes red from tears that had already been shed. She clutched a small bouquet of white lilies, her father's favorite flowers. As the priest recited final prayers, Perry stepped forward, her voice quivering yet filled with love."Thank you, Father," she said, her words carrying a mix of sorrow and gratitude. "Thank

The sun was gradually setting, casting a golden glow over the gathering, as the event drew to an end. Betty, the widow of the late Chairman, stood tall and composed, dressed in an elegant black gown that spoke of both grief and wealth. In her hand, she held an expensive souvenir with a picture of her late husband boldly emblazoned on it. She made sure the media captured the moment as she posed for photographs, accepting condolences from well-wishers.Perry sat in silence, still wrapped in her husband Alonso's arms. She watched Betty's display with a mix of anger and disbelief. It had been a lavish affair, and while she understood the family's wealth, it seemed excessive and showy to her, considering the occasion. She couldn't help but feel like Betty was using the funeral as an opportunity to flaunt her prosperity."Why does she have to make such a spectacle of it?" Perry whispered to Alonso, her voice filled with frustration.Alonso tightened his grip around her, offering comfort in

Over a week had passed since the burial, yet the event continued to dominate conversations. The controversy surrounding Betty's behaviour had not subsided, but instead, it seemed to fuel her pride. She revelled in the attention, relishing in the fact that her actions were the topic of discussion among friends, family, and the public.One evening, at a social gathering held in honour of Mr Montillo by one of his business partners and closest friend, Betty couldn't resist showing off her perceived triumph to Perry.Betty sauntered over to where Perry and Alonso stood, a smug smile playing on her lips. She made sure to make her approach noticeable, her steps deliberate and confident."Well, well, if it isn't Perry and her handbag Alonso," Betty said, her tone dripping with condescension. "Quite the event we had, don't you think? I mean your father's burial"Perry forced a polite smile, though her patience was wearing thin. "It was certainly an eventful day, Betty. But I believe the focus

Alonso had finally been announced as the chairman of the company, and ever since Betty had been boiling with anger, frustration, and jealousy. She hadn't wasted any time blaming it on Philip, her son, as she unleashed a torrent of insults and derogatory remarks."You are nothing but an incompetent fool, Philip!" Betty spat, her voice dripping with venom. "How could you let this happen? You're a disgrace!"Philip tried his best to maintain his composure despite his mother's verbal assault. He took a deep breath before responding, "Mom, it's not entirely my fault. You need to understand that."Betty scoffed, her face contorted with rage. "Oh, please! Spare me your excuses. You've always been weak, incapable of seizing opportunities. Now Alonso is the chairman, and it's all because of your incompetence!"Philip felt his anger rising but knew he had to remain calm. He decided to confront his mother head-on. "You know what, Mom? It's actually your fault." He reminded her that it was her ow

After the disheartening scene that unfolded before Philip's eyes, he resolved to pour all his energy into the project he was assigned to work on with Alonso, the newly appointed chairman of Homos Group. Perhaps, by focusing on the project and ensuring its success, he could turn the situation to his advantage.However, a seed of doubt crept into Philip's mind. He began to question whether the glory would solely be attributed to Alonso, now that he held the coveted position of chairman. Philip pondered the possibility of being sidelined and ultimately removed from the project. If that were to happen, he made up his mind that Alonso would not emerge unscathed; he would bring him down with him.News of Alonso's inauguration as chairman spread like wildfire, engulfing the air with anticipation. His face appeared on every blog, news outlet, and even in advertisements, further solidifying his newfound status.Two days after Alonso's appointment, Philip and Alonso had a scheduled meeting to p
ALL I LOST : THE FIRST HEIR Chapter 114
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Voices were raised, and arguments filled the air as the chairman, and two other key contract holders of the company, engaged in a heated debate. The topic of discussion was the unsatisfactory performance of Philip's company in fulfilling their contractual obligations.As the meeting reached its peak, emotions running high, Mr Anderson banged his gavel on the table, calling for order. "That's enough!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with frustration. "This meeting is adjourned. We'll reconvene in a week's time."Philip looked visibly relieved, but his relief was short-lived. The chairman's gaze fell upon him, a mix of disappointment and determination in his eyes. "Philip, I won't deny that I have the urge to remove you completely from this contract," Mr Anderson declared, his voice stern. "However, I believe in second chances due to the friendship I had with Mr Montillo. You have one more opportunity to prove your worth."Philip nodded earne

I want us to consider the possibility of adoption.”Perry’s brows furrowed, a complex mix of emotions crossing her features. “Alonso, adoption is a beautiful option, but it’s also a decision that requires careful c

It’s about the love we give and the environment we create.”Perry’s voice held a note of wonder, her heart beginn
