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
Charles who was equally listening to what lady Marcus was saying muttered in her mind when he heard her added that stringent conditions of Olivia having to invite both Scarlett Sage of Megan Group and Lindel Brooks of Shell Plc, London, to her banquet before she could be made the executive chairman of Thompson ‘How dare you try to play smart on Olivia? I will have to play along with you then and watch how you can succeed with your witchful plan in my own company.’ As Olivia's husband, Charles was determined to make sure that Olivia is promoted to the office of executive chairman of Thompson Petrochemical Group, which is owned and run by Marcus family members as their family business under the leadership of Lady Marcus who was the current head of the family after the death of Lord Marcus. Olivia was one of the reasons he forgave his father, King Emperor Walker De Great and accepted to return back to the palace and subsequently take over the throne after his father's reign as the kin
At the Thompson Petrochemical Group, Lady Marcus also attended to many questions which her business partners, friends and well wishers were asking her with a wild spread of smile on her face.Her business partners, friends and well wishers had called her on phone to find out if what they were hearing concerning the banquet was real and she responded to them positively one after another.She was indeed in her happy mood today and was over the moon because she knew that after tomorrow's banquet, the Marcus family will exceedingly rise to fame and become more wealthier than Lord Marcus left the family and died.She giggled earnestly and said, “Okay, that's all for today. Start preparing for tomorrow's feast. Dismiss!”After the meeting, lady Marcus walked straight to her office feeling so much grateful for what the Marcus family is becoming under her watch and control.Jack and his father Benjamin Marcus who had returned back from the hospital after rushing Margaret there for resuscitati
Olivia's heart was still in a horse race when she and Charles exited Thompson Petrochemical Group's office. Grandma will officially announce her as the new executive chairman of the Thompson Petrochemical Group tomorrow. Finally, her parents, especially her mother Rose Andrea, would be proud of her and no longer poke and accuse her of bringing shame upon her for refusing to divorce Charles. Moreso, she can now be able to hold her head up high within her family! She turned to Charles and said merrily, “Dear, thank you so much. If not for you and your encouragement, I wouldn't have dared to step up and go for the challenge.” Charles rubbed his palms on her temple and replied with smiles all over his face, “Darling, you deserve this.” He withdrew his palms from her temple, turned his head away, and after a few minutes of silence full of thoughts in his mind, he turned back to her and said, “Oh yes, this is a great achievement and the banquet will be a happy event for us. Let's c
“Look at yourself, Mr class Rep? Did you even look at yourself in the mirror before leaving your house? Huh! You're such a disgusting fool!” Isla said and continued to look at Charles in a condescending manner. Charles replied coldly, “Miss Isla, I don't think I have ever offended you to warrant you behaving this way you're behaving towards me now. I had turned earlier to great and exchanged pleasantries with you when I heard your voice out of respect for you and for our shared memories in the University but it seems you aren't worth it. However, whether I checked the mirror or not before leaving my house isn't necessary, for what's important now is that I'm here to buy some jewelry and I think I've seen a nice necklace. So suit yourself while I go check out what I came here for!” Charles turned to leave her there but was blocked by her hand which she stroked forward and grabbed his waist belt. “Who do you think you are to walk out on me? Fool!” She raised her hand and slammed it
“Thank you man, but I think they will meet me at the showroom themselves. I've got to go to check that jade necklace locked in the white glass cabinet,” Charles replied with smiles on his face pointing his fingers to the direction of the necklace locked in white glass cabinet which had been shown in the showroom of Trysor Jewellery store. Meanwhile, Trysor Jewellery store has a rule that governs their showroom visitors and customers. 'Nobody is allowed to get close or touch any of the jewelry displayed in the showroom without being guided by the sales personnel!’ Charles, unaware of the standing rule of the Trysor Jewellery store for its customer, went straight to appraise the jade necklace. The necklace was made of the most exclusive icy jadeite. It was very elegant and exquisite, a perfect match for Olivia's aura. The jade necklace is one of a kind. It's a necklace that's been specifically designed and made for the princess or queen of the British Kingdom. King Emperor
