"I did” lowering her head in shame.

The whole family could not hold back their laughter." It's for sure that Danvers forgot his too, this family is indeed shameless they came here to eat free food” Matthew said, and they laughed even harder.

At this point, Rhina was helpless, and it was evident all over her. Danvers could not bear to see her in that state

“I brought my card but…” Rhina got angry and asked him to sit, but before he did, Stephen had already seized the card from him and handed it to the waitress. " Let's see if he will have even up to 150 dollars on that card!”

Rhina knew he was going to make a fool of himself as she only gave him 100 dollars daily for upkeep. They were all overwhelmed when they heard Miss Young exclaim over the kind of card Danvers owned; it was a white bank card with a touch of gold.

“I didn't see that right, did I? A white bank card right in front of me?” She screamed with joy. Her words seemed to have turned everyone into a stone.

    “Didn't you hear what she said? Let her hear you call auntie. If not, you won't like my next move, I am giving you the opportunity to be a good boy and call her auntie” “Then, if you would just add something to it by kneeling in front of her, I will let you leave here in good health, else you will go out on a stretcher” Liza couldn't help but laugh at Danvers. She immediately made her way to the front, fished out her phone, ready to record the entire show to send it to Rhina. “And what if I don't?"Liza frowned upon seeing Danvers' resistance “he is not ready to apologize for his actions.

    “Grandma lady, are you seriously going to let Rhina lead the Champions real estate project?” Stephen asked as he sat comfortably on the sofa. “Since it was Rhina who negotiated and signed the project, it is only fair and natural for her to be the team head," looking at Stephen “or do any of you have a problem with that?" She asked with a serious face. "Mom, you have to think through your decision over again. Besides, it won't be good for Stephen if Rhina should be the team head and also change her status” Marcus said.Confused as she was, Lady Dabby looked at both of them and said “if there is something you want to say, then say it to my face and stop beating around the bush like children." "Grandma lady, though Danvers is part of the family, it doesn't change the fact that he is still a stranger. He has been with us for the past four years now, and he has nothing to show for it. You need to be afraid that such a project we have longed for will fall in the hands of that loser once

    you what!? Rhina was furious after hearing what Ethans said. In an angry tone, she said “Just forget about whatever plans you have in mind. Don't forget I am still married. “Even an animal will have feelings coupled with the way Danvers had been treated in the past, he doesn't deserve all of this.Even when his allowance was transferred to another just to punish him for commiting a crime,he still remained steadfast and never complained.” Rhina unconsciously said. Denver's had done a lot for them in a short while. He paid for their bills then at the hotel when Stephen tried to insult them, thereby using all his savings. Again, he had provided the money she needed to solve the problem in her company, and now this, he needed so much respect. Looking at Rhina “ you don't need to worry about that loser, I will prepare a big package when coming and I am already dabby won't refuse my offer”Though she did not have any regards for Danvers, they had been married for four years, and i

She couldn't make it because she was having morning sickness, you know how ladies could be! I am going to be in charge of this project from now onwards. He replied with a beautiful smile on his face. Frank noded, well said then. But this project can only be continued after Miss Dabby is back on her feet and ready to resume her position.

    At Bradon’s SupermarketRhina and Liza had just finished shopping for the Happy Day celebration. It is quite evident that both ladies turned heads wherever they went. I need to get home, and I have a lot of unfinished business. Rhina said, entering her car.

Stephen grew even angrier, moving back and forth in the conference room and wiping his nostrils with the back of his hand.He could not contain his anger anymore, so he exploded and said “you good for nothing live-in-son-in-law, what gave you the mind to hang up on my dad. His heart sank. What were they going to do now that Rhina has refused to show up at the office. Even after his father called.

    Stephen took in a deep breath and swallowed his saliva. He knew Danvers' words were not to be taken for granted. If his memory wasn't playing on him, he remembered his grandpa narrated the scene that made them cross paths. He had a flat tire, and in the course of trying to fix it, a group of young boys tried to steal from him, but with Danvers' timely interference, they had to run for their lives.“What the heck is going on in my house?”Looking at Danver, “what are you doing?” Margaret, who excused herself a few minutes ago, dashed into the living room after hearing voices from her bathroom. Looking at her, Marcus said;“Your useless son-in-law is quite talented, Margaret. To the extent where he is brave enough to talk back when I talk.” Marcus had always had an inherent sense of superiority from birth, just that his brother never gave him the opportunity. He always stood his ground as an older brother. On the other hand, Stephen began his usual arrogant nature. After all, his fa

Or is it for the same purpose as to why Stephen and Marcus visited?”Lady Dabby was in charge of all the affairs of the family and it was crystal clear even without words that she never calls the juniors in the family, talk less of Rhina and her family who were the last of their kind. “Let's hear what she has to say” Rhina answered the phone and put it on speaker. " Rhina? Lady Dabby's voice sounded at the other end of the phone. Though it looked awkward to her calling her junior in the family, she had no other choice. The champions had made it clear to them that they will only continue any partnership with Golds Corporation if Rhina is involved, or else they should kiss it well, but Lady Dabby could no

With the assurance that Xavier andaxon were both equal to the task. Turning to look at his men he asked. “ Can you fix it immediately?

    Danvers sat alot in his office staring at the prices of evidence the lawyer threw to the bin and judged everything in Raven's favor, recording and chats with his associates. The more Danvers thought of it, the more he realized how pathetic the economy they lived in had become. He leaned back in his chair, with his eyes narrowed on one of the pieces of evidence he had in his hand. He knew there was something wrong and he needed to figure it out so everything would fall in place. Shortly after, there was a knock on the door distracting him from what he was trying to figure out. “Who is it?” he asked, keeping his voice steady.“Marshall,” Marshall replied with his response barely above a whisper. “It’s me, Danvers, let me in.”He hesitated for a second because he wanted to be alone and think.
