Angus is furious, he can't stand the continuous insult to his mother. He takes the divorce agreement, a quick look and signs it without any hesitation.
Ashley laughs, she is so happy that Angus signed."OK, let's go to the court now, Mr. Quinton has arranged everything well, we could get all the documents today. You see? That's how you benefit from the power." She laughs.Angus sneers,"OK, I want to finish this mess earlier too."Seeing Angus being so calm, Ashley is angry. Because for her, Angus must be unreasonable and crazy to keep the marriage.After all, she was so good to him, he won't ever find a girl as good as her after the divorce."How can he be so calm?He must be pretending!" Ashley thinks. She sneers at him in anger. "You're trying to be cool, huh? OK, let's go. Mr. Quinton will drive us to the court, how about you, loser?" She is trying to show off what Quinton has, to prove it's Angus's loss divorcing her.But Angus is still calm, "I'll take the taxi, it would be too late."“Ha, a loser couldn't afford even a car. Let's go darling, I couldn't stay with a poor loser in the same room.” Quinton mocks.He can't believe that even her parents are laughing at them. He slaved for them so much in the past.Her parents kiss her goodbye and wish her well, congratulating her on taking the bold step to leave him.They leave him in the front of the house, to find his way to the court. Angus sighs and calls an uber.At this time, his phone rings."Hello?" Angus picks the phone."Hi Mister Angus Knighton, I am sure that I have the right number." She says."I'm sorry, who are you supposed to be?""Joanna Wayne." She answers. "Your assistant."Angus's ears shoot up, he now has a personal assistant?"Wait, what?" He is astonished. "A personal assistant?""Yes, your grandfather sees it fit that his grandson isn't stressed."Angus can't believe what he is hearing."What do I need a personal assistant for? I am not sure I even still have a job with my former employers.""Why would you need a job when your family is a superfamily?" She chuckles at his silliness.Angus sighs as he pushes his hair away from his face."Listen, Joanna, I don't have anything for you to do.""I can get you a quick snack, I can kill people too if you want.""No." Angus finds himself crackling.But immediately an idea gets into his head and he smiles to himself. Maybe he does have a use for her."I have something to do." He says. "I have to be in court in the next two hours. Meet me there afterward""What are you in court for?""You are such a nosy assistant. Don't be late."He ends the call and starts to get ready for the court.He gets there just in time and he sees Ashley together with Mister Quinton.They give him taunting looks, but he doesn't mind them as they all walk into the court.The judge is waiting for them, it's a very short session.Since Angus isn't fighting the divorce, he and Ashley just have to sign a few papers and then they are done.Divorced. It's such a heavy word for Angus, but he feels like this is the right thing to have done.Mister Quinton and Ashley kiss in front of him, trying their hardest to get a reaction from him, even the judge looks sorry for him.They can't keep their hands to themselves and as they leave the courtroom Angus drags his feet after them.He meets them by the gate. Ashley is leaning on Quinton's expensive car with a smile on her face."I know that you were pretending when you came over earlier, you are indeed set to leave me." She mocks. "Well, I am glad that I left you. Look at Quinton's car, you can never own something like this."Quinton is beside her and he laughs at her insults to Angus.Immediately there is a loud sound of the engine of a car.All eyes turn to the gate as a luxury supercar drives into the compound.It's red and the sun hits it at the right angle to make it glisten.Before the eyes of everyone, a very beautiful girl steps out of the car in a very daring expensive outfit.She is putting on cheek glasses that sit pretty on her nose and she catwalks towards the court.Quinton is looking at her like a dog in heat, he is swallowing his saliva repeatedly.He lets go of Ashley, to her dismay, and walks to the girl.Ashley's face turns red with anger. Did Quinton just leave her side to flirt with another woman?!"Hello, miss, you are very beautiful." He compliments her with a grin. "May I ask what you are doing here? Are you looking for someone, I'm sure it's me."She walks away from him as if he is so tiny that she couldn't even acknowledge him.Shame covers Quinton's face as she ignores him.Angus looks on with a satisfied smile.The lady catwalks till she gets to him and she takes off her glasses and smiles at him"There you are," She beams. "I have been waiting outside for a long time!"Everyone's jaw drops as they all freeze in place. They all can't believe that the rich and beautiful woman has come to see Angus, where did his poverty-stricken ass meet her?! Ashley goes green with envy, she isn't even trying to hide it or anything. She can't take it, she raises her voice at Angus. How dare he talk to another woman right in front of her? He doesn't even feel ashamed!"Hey, Angus, have you lied to this lady?!" She accuses. "She doesn't know the truth about you, does she?!" Joanna turns around with obvious disgust, she doesn't give Angus the chance to speak. "I'm sorry, who are you?" She asks. Ashley smiles as she takes a step forward. She is feeling very intimidated by this woman even though she doesn't want to show it. Her shoes alone can buy Ashley's house and she knows it. Ashley tears her greedy eyes away from the designer shoes as she looks the lady straight in the eyes. "I am his ex-wife." She declares. "Oh." Joanna turns to Angus, he didn't tell her
Angus is slightly annoyed by this unacceptable behavior of the doorman, but he keeps his cool. "Excuse me, is there anything that seems to be a problem?" Angus asks. "What are you doing here?" The doorman rudely inquire. " I need to access the building as I have business with the manager." Angus points to the door. "Look, I don't have time for this. I want you to turn around and leave right now before I throw you out." The doorman says. "You think that poor people like you are allowed to enter into this building?" Angus is so shocked by this that all he can do is laugh. The frown on the doorman's face grows even more when he sees the smile on Angus' face. What's funny? Angus can't believe that yet another person is going about, judging him for dressing the way he did. "So you think I am a poor man?" He asks. "Do you think that a poor man would come here to purchase a house?" "A house, no!" The man scoffs. "But you are definitely here for the free coffee and dessert, aren't y
The manager knows that he has gotten himself into some kind of trouble, did she just refer to the poorly dressed fellow as 'young master'?He bows again to Joanna, with a very big smile on his face. "Madam, is this your driver?" He asks. Angus still hasn't said a word, he wants the man to get drowned in his ignorance. Joanne turns to him with an angry look, she can't believe the level of disrespect. "Are you seriously referring to my boss as my driver?!" She asks. His eyes fly open, did she just call the poor man her boss?Angus sees the confusion on his face and this gladdens his heart, he laughs with heartiness. The manager is trembling like a leaf, the doorman looks like he has peed himself. "Sir– sir, I am very sorry for preventing you from entering." He holds up his hands. "I thought you were–""Excuse me?!" Joanna's eyes are red with anger. "You stopped him from entering the building, do you know who he is?""I am sorry, ma'am, I thought he was one of those poverty-strick
The owner of the estate, Mister Merlin, rushes to the estate with his security. He wipes the sweat from his eyebrow as he rushes towards the mansion on the hill, the one that the manager just said has been sold. He meets the manager walking around with a clipboard in his hands, and he runs towards his boss when he sees me. "Tell me this is a joke! You sold that house after ten years?!" "Yes, boss!" The manager is very excited. "The man who bought the house didn't even bat an eye, he paid in full!" "What?!" He yells. "How many banks did he get loans from before buying?" "None, sir. This man seems to be very wealthy." Mister Merlin takes the clipboard immediately, it contains little information about the buyer and he scans through it. "Angus Knighton? I have never heard of that name in my life." He mutters. "And he is in his mid-twenties? How could he have afforded the money?!" "Maybe he comes from a very rich family." The manager shrugs. "He came with his assistant and she dro
The whole estate is waiting to see Angus, but he minds his business and stays in the house. Only a few people who have seen him are the cleaners, the manager, and Mister Merlin. But today, Angus is going to step out today because he needs to buy some things for his mother and also to pay a few bills at the hospital. His mother has a few more days of bed rest and she will be cleared to leave the hospital. His grandfather has offered to allow her to stay at the house, but Angus wants to bring her here, she deserves to live this good life with him. He will talk about it with his grandfather later, but now he needs to get ready to see his mother. After Angus has taken his bath, he puts on a simple pair of jeans and a shirt, he looks like any normal person. The minute he steps out of the house, he notices someone in his garden, shearing the flowers. He squints because he is confused, the estate gardener just did it a few days ago, who is this?"Manager?!" Angus is taken aback. The
The clerk is visibly confused, he knows that he has somehow gotten himself into trouble. Yet, somewhere in his heart, he believes that Angus is not who he says he is. The manager comes forward and shakes Angus' hand with a professional smile. "Welcome to Elite Bank, I hope it wasn't much trouble coming here." He says. "Sir, this man is holding a black card and I am sure that it's fake." The clerk insists. "He is just an imposter who wants to steal some free money." The manager takes Angus' card and looks at it. He is an expert in this field, he knows what to look for in the hidden corners of the card to know if it's authentic. It's authentic, he can tell immediately and his eyebrows deepens as he huffs at the clerk. "Don't act a fool, this is a real card." He warned him. Angus laughs immediately. The clerk turns red with embarrassment and wants to immediately disappear. It doesn't take long before the manager correctly guesses what has happened. "Oh, don't tell me that you h
Argh! He can't believe that Ashley would stoop this low to tarnish his image. He knows that she is angry that he is not being mad at the divorce, he is too calm about it and it's driving her crazy. That's why she posted those crazy posts all over social media, she wants a bad reaction from him. Now everyone knows about their divorce, even his shitty colleagues. He runs his fingers through his hair in frustration as he continues to stare at his phone. He can hear Bryan and the others laugh behind him. "Look at his face! He can't even keep a woman! He can't provide for her!" They are all laughing at him, the echoes of their laughter was mocking him. Suddenly the whole place goes silent as soon as they hear the clinking of shoes against the ground. It's the familiar walking step of their boss, Matilda, she is an iron lady that is feared by every single one of them. She is slender and beautiful, and has a lot of sexual appeal, but her subordinates respect her for far more than t
Matilda spends almost a full hour in her office just staring motionlessly at the wall. She is thinking about Angus and why an anonymous person is trying so hard to get him fired. Angus is not a troublemaker or a lazy employee, he is one of the best accountants that she has seen in her life. She randomly just got a message and now she is confused about what to do. She knows that she has to protect Angus, she can't just let him take the blow for someone who isn't even brave enough to show their face. She shrugs it off with an exhale and goes back to work, there is so much to do. She is slowly getting immersed in work, but her phone loudly rings and breaks her concentration. She looks at it, it's not a saved number, but nevertheless, she picks it up. She immediately hears the raspy breathing at the other end, she immediately knows that it's trouble. "Yes, who is this?" "Oh, Matilda, I was trying to be nice by warning you first of all, but thank you for letting me know your sta
