In that moment, abrupt and outlandish thoughts appeared in Olivia's mind.That Mr Walker that Scarlett told her of - could he really be her husband, Charles Walker?No way, wake up from your day-dreaming, Olivia she muttered to herself!She found the outlandish thoughts of Charles Walker being the Mr Walker who Scarlett Sage was talking about to be so preposterous after processing it for a while.How could it be!Charles was an orphan who lived and grew up in the welfare home!However, who else in the whole world would treat her so well like this beside Charles Walker?She recalled how Charles used to care for her and even protected her from dangers during her university days at Swansea and was gladden in her heart.Hundred million dollar deal was an extravagant hope and a mission impossible, but they gave her a one hundred and fifty million dollars contract.She couldn't help but asked curiously, “Miss Sage, please may I know if your chairman is Charles Walker?”Scarlett’s heart skip
Jack refused to accept the reality.He didn't believe that Olivia got the contract even with the documents she presented as evidence. He shouted loudly, “she must have forged the documents! I don't believe that she can handle Megan Group!”“Jack is right!” Lily added in extreme frustration. “Who does she think she is to strike a deal with Megan Group? That Megan Group terminated our Grand's Group proposed collaboration when I and my husband, Luca went their the other time, saying we aren't worthy of partnering with them! It is a hundred million dollar project! If she can do it, I would have gotten the project a long time ago and Luca would have sealed up the collaboration proposal between Grand Group and Megan Group as well at ease!”“My cousin sister, you are wrong with the project amount. It is not hundred million but one hundred and fifty million dollars!” Olivia sniggered.Luca has been listening and watching the facades stuttered. “ No - No way! Olivia, you're not even a good lia
Immediately, Jack grimaced his face in disdain and said, “you and who had a bet and what was the bet all about?”Although Jack still remembers the bet and its dictates, he pretended as if he had never gone into any bet with Charles.Of course, he has not forgotten the dictates of their bet. ‘Whoever loses must either address the other party as his father and become his servant or divorce his wife if he's married and or bring curse upon his grandmother, father, mother and his entire siblings if he rescinds in keeping the promise!’Olivia had won the contract which means that he has lost the bet to Charles but it is a no deal! He will never honor such a bet.How can he call that loser and nobody his father and even become his servant. It would be even better for him to die than to address him as his father.No! No way! That wasn't going to happen!“Tim, did we enter into any bet with this loser?” Jack asked his accomplice, hoping to get support.“I didn't enter into any bet with anybody
“Grandma…..”Jack and his accomplice were truly frightened now, because it was clear to them that lady Marcus was actually apoplectic!Seeing that Jack and Tim were being reluctant in keeping to their vow that involved herself in order to salvage their face from shame, Lady Marcus slapped her hand on the table aggressively and yelled, “are all of you determined to break your oath now?”“Grandma, I …” Jack stuttered loathly. He speedily made the following deductions in his mind.If he honored the betting rules and admitted his defeat to Charles, he would lose only his face in the family and before the people who were present in that conference room.But if he went against the betting terms and conditions and enraged his grandmother, he would lose everything he had in the Marcus family!He would lose more than his face!It would be better for him to become a servant in his own family than to lose them entirely and everything he had got.Since Charles had said earlier that they would be
“Tim, Wait. W-what do you mean? Are you for real? Do you really want to divorce me?” Margaret cried and asked panickingly. “Y - Yes, dear. I mean every word I have said. I can't call him my father, let alone become his slave in the form of a servant!” Tim turned and responded to Margaret who was bitterly crying out her life. “Grandma, have you seen what this useless and good-for-nothing Charles had caused? Please, stop him from pushing Tim into divorcing me!” Olivia said scornfully, “Charles my dear and super husband has done nothing wrong here. He isn't pushing Tim into divorcing you my dear cousin sister! Instead, your Tim, is just respecting his bet with my husband and has chosen himself over his relationship with you!” She was happy with the turn of events! Earlier, these people were taunting and doubting her abilities. They even went into betting with her husband hoping to mock him over her failure but right now all of them are facing the most painful disgrace of their o
Everyone was startled in shock hearing Luca's appeal to Olivia. Lily could not bear the scene and she shouted, “Luca, what are you saying? Do you really mean to give her a Ferrari sports car and a two hundred thousand dollar check? Isn't that too much for this useless cousin of mine and her stupid and trashy husband?” Luca answered her shortly with a tone of anger in his voice. “Yes, and what's wrong with my giving her a two hundred thousand dollar check and a Ferrari sports car? Aren't you the person who pushed me into doubting Olivia's abilities thereby making such a vow trusting your statement and bragging to be true?!” Luca's reactions and response to Lily iced the hatred Charles had on him earlier. He initially wanted all of these inconsiderate and very annoying individuals to taste their cup of humiliation. But, from Luca's tone, pitches and actions, it was crystal clear that he was now being remorseful for doubting his wife. He robbed his temple on Olivia and whispered
If Jack, Tim and Luca didn't keep their promises, she would definitely go against the ordinances of being a Lady of St Mulumba and would lose her respect and as well as her position when the news leaked out.Then, she looked at Jack and Luca who were still there and said, “Jack and Luca, treat today's reality as a lesson in your lives. Next time, don't enter into a bet for something that you don't have absolute control on or something that you have no absolute certainty of. And Even if you would bet, always keep your family away from it.“Thank you grandmother-in-law. I have learnt my lessons today!” Luca grouched with a sullen face that expressed his discontentment.Jack on his own said in discontent and pouty face, “Okay, grandma. I know better now. I will never try it again …”However, as Jack spoke, his eyes glared at Charles viciously and his mind was in sorrowful thoughts, ‘this fool disgraced and forced me to call him my father today and is even taking me as his slave servant.
However, it would be unwise of her to make such a statement now.Though she would eventually take it back, it was not going to be immediately after Olivia had struck the deal with Megan's Group.With this reasoning, she said, “Thank you so much Charles for reminding me of that promise. Meanwhile, I am going to host a feast tomorrow night to celebrate our grand breakthrough and collaboration with Megan's Group. We shall also invite all the high profile and influential individuals in Wales city for the sumptuous feast. At that banquet, I will officially announce Thompson's Group collaboration with Megan's Group and publicly pronounce Olivia as the new executive chairman of Thompson Petrochemical Group.”Her statement was very satisfying and Charles was relieved after hearing it.Olivia also beamed up smiles in reassurance because of the statement. Finally, she was going to become the executive chairman of Thompson Petrochemical Group. She didn't have to be bulldozed and secluded anymore
