Mrs Rose was surprised at Charles sudden outburst and claim but because right now she didn't know what else to do. So she quickly said, “I played the raffle three times and won in all of them. I won number five twice and number ten once and according to the game rule, the number is my capital multiplying strength. I bought raffle tickets for a hundred dollars each. I equally invested two hundred dollars into the investment game and it has stayed for three hours now. It rule is that the capital investment would return with fifty percent interest after every two hours.”They did the calculations and found the total money to be two thousand, three hundred and fifty dollars as her supposed money won from the games she played.She had spent her entire life savings worth five hundred and fifty dollars in playing this game and can't afford to lose them just like that.She didn't think of how Charles was going to actualize his claims of helping her get the money from Eight Fingers men. All sh
“And who the hell do you think you are to command us to return their money to those useless women out there?” Nicholas asked him.“Well since you care to know my person, I will tell you right away.” the young man said smiling and continued, “I am Gabriel Gonzalez, son of Gonzalez from Manchester City. My father is the renowned business Conglomerates and owner of Gonzalez electricals and interiors in Manchester City”, he added boastingly. His voice was loud enough that even the women heard him from outside the gate.“Wow!” the women shouted from the gate. He is indeed from a noble family. “The Gonzalez of Manchester! No wonder he exuded the aura of wealth and power! You are indeed a very lucky woman to have him as son-in-law.” They unanimously flattered Mrs Mary.Nicholas doesn't really know much about Manchester City's environs and the people living there. So, he had to excuse himself from Gabriel that very moment in order to speak with the boss who was inside in his office. “Wait a
Those women stood shocked outside the gate for what they had just seen Charles act. They were all stupefied and surprised over what they were seeing. “Wasn't he your useless poor son-in-law who can't even bat away mosquitoes? How come is he being so powerful over these ruthless men? He is even commanding their respect!" Mrs Christine asked Mrs Rose in shock. “Yes, he is and I know that he can even do more than what you have seen him do”, she replied. She was the only person among those women who was never surprised to have seen Charles act in such capacity. She had earlier watched him command respect from the Chief Security Officer of Wales City, Mr Stone, some few hours ago. Instead, she was busy shouting on top of her voice. “That's my beloved and capable son-in-law!” She was running from pillar to post making any noise her strength could carry. She was now somehow hopeful that her money will be retrieved from those callous men after all he had earlier said that he can help get
Watching Eight Fingers kill his subordinate for allowing Charles to have messed up with them and disturbed his peace brought fear on everyone who was watching the show. This man was utterly ruthless! He even killed his men showing no concern and respect for their lives. ‘If he can do that to his own men then how much more callous do you think he was going to be while dealing with others.’ Those women could no longer bear what they had seen. The underworld Lord is no human. “He is a Devil!” cried Mrs Mary. Other women had run away except for Mrs Mary and Mrs Rose. Their sons-in-law were inside that park. It will be a heinous sin for Mary to abandon her good son-in-law who had come to help retrieve her money from Eight Fingers to die in the hand of the underworld Lord and run away for her own life. That son-in-law of hers was the savior she got in her family. He was equally her daughters’ only hope in life. Being fazed by the sight of horror, she slapped her hands against her thig
They alighted from the cab when they finally got home, paid the taxi driver off and discharged him.Out of joy and surplus money made from their outing, Rose paid the cab man an amount much higher than what they initially bid for the entire journey.The cab driver was grateful and thanked her in appreciation for increasing his pay. He zoomed off with his car after showing how appreciative he was to Mrs Rose Andrea.“We are going to celebrate in this house today” announced to Rose when they finally got inside their house.“What are we celebrating mom?” asked Olivia, looking surprised at how joyful her mom was.“Why are you so happy, dear? Did you win a lottery from the raffle draw you had gone out to play?” Andrea Marcus asked his wife. He was equally surprised to see his wife being so happy for the first time after a long time.“Yes, yes, I won what's bigger than a lottery”, Rose said gleefully. Her face was plastered with laughter!She reached for her hand bag and brought the purse c
Tyler had informed him earlier that investigations to reveal the culprits were ongoing and he would give him feedback as they were done with the processes.He was just about laying his head when Olivia walked in with a moody face.“Darling, what's the problem? Why are you moody?” He asked.“Nothing! It's just that Grandma called saying she wants to see me at the family Villa tomorrow. She equally wants us to go back to London and revisit Stafford Theo for the partnership deal.” Olivia responded. “I don't want to go because I'm already fed up with her ridiculous words and insults. What do you think I should do? Should I go or should I stay?”“Don't worry, dear. It's nothing bad to go there. Besides, she is your grandma and the head of Marcus' family”, he told her.”“As for going to see Stafford Theo, just follow her there if she insists but I don't think he would be capable of helping Thompson petrochemical group now that Shell PLC had terminated their partnership deal with them. My mi
Inside Stafford Theo secretary’s office at British Petroleum, London were the duo granddaughter and grandmother seated like a stranger waiting for the house owner to welcome and offer them a drink.One of the company’s receptionist had taken them to Stafford Theo secretary’s office in accordance to an order she had received from the secretary earlier that day. ‘Direct one named Lady Marcus and miss Olivia Marcus from Wales City to my office whenever they arrived here and offer them some drink in case I'm not in!’ was the secretary’s statement to her in the morning.When, Lady Marcus and her granddaughter, miss Olivia arrived British Petroleum, London after departing from the airport, the receptionist upon confirmation of their identities as Lady Marcus and miss Olivia Marcus had taken them to the secretary’s office and after which, she left to get them some drinks. “Please, madam you can sit and wait for the secretary. She is currently out inform the CEO about your presence!”However,
Whilst they were still discussing and analyzing the pros and cons involved in either sealing the partnership deal or not with British Petroleum for the Thompson petrochemical group, it was when Stafford Theo's secretary pushed her office door open and walked in interrupting the duo discussion between Lady Marcus and her granddaughter Miss Olivia Marcus.She bowed her head respectfully before them and said, “I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting for long here without attending to you. I have been busy helping my Boss to clear off some tasks on his desk to give him enough time for your business with him. He is equally sorry and was worried that you have been left here without being attended to, and that was why he had sent the receptionist to at least give you some tea and water for a drink to calm your anger and quench your thirst before he joins you.”She made her face look very remorseful while she apologized for keeping them on the waiting list without prior notifications and or g
