Mendy laughed out loud at the statement Kevin made on the phone. It amazed him that Kevin was useless but still displaying his stupidity. Everyone, except the few invited guests, knew how useless the son-in-law was. “You have to be kidding me,” he laughed again. “You don't even have a job; talk more of having money? You don't even have a company; how then can you make me go bankrupt?” He said in a voice louder than his normal own so that the other doormen could hear him.“Don't be too full of yourself,” Kevin said calmly.Mendy felt a stab of annoyance at his words. “How dare you!” Kevin scoffed but didn't say anything. He glanced at his wristwatch instead. Mendy has just five more minutes to go.“You are going to kneel in this instance, and apologies!” He said suddenly, furious. “Do you know how much I've done to you and your family? If it wasn't for me, will you be here as a doorman? Still helping your family? I know what I did!” He bragged.He was annoyed, and Kevin could see it
“Don't what?” Kevin teased.Mendy’s head hung dejectedly. He was too shocked to even utter a word. How could he have thought that Kevin had such power?It was why he was sometimes nonchalant. But Mendy still found it difficult to understand. How could someone like Kevin Haverthwaite have the have the power to ruin the family company that has been in existence for years?“You should get up if you have nothing to say,” Kevin said in a low voice.The other doormen were looking at them now but could not make out what they were saying. They were shocked when Mendy went on his knees.“No!” Mendy said quickly. He was suddenly gentle. “I mean, I'm fine being like this.”If Kevin could ruin the family company within ten minutes. Then there was nothing he couldn't do. What if he made him angrier and he decided to do more to him?“You are?” Kevin tilted his head to the side and waited for his response.Mendy cleared his throat meaningfully. Who would have thought he would be kneeling for Kevin
Mia turned to Kevin, ignoring Nathan. “You should get back to your post and remember the missing for today,” she finished and walked away.Nathan stylishly withdrew his hand. He had never been so embarrassed in his entire life, but it didn't bother him that much. He loved women who were unwilling. It was always like a challenge to him.“Well,” Morris cleared his throat meaningfully. “That was my sister, Mia.”Nathan stared back at Morris with shock and gratitude. “Seriously?”Morris nodded once. “I'm so glad you were invited to this party. Come, let's get you settled,” he offered and led him to some arranged seats.The party started almost immediately. Everyone was present, including some family members who couldn't meet up with Mrs. Perry's birthday. So, it was crowded.Morris’ father arrived late, with his brother, Anthony, Alessia’s father.Suddenly, Alessia walked inside with two men in black suits.Mrs. Perry was overjoyed seeing her, as well as the others present at the party.
“What!”Murmur ensued among Mia’s cousins.Mia looked up, shocked. Was that true? Did Alessia really give the wine to Kevin? It only meant one thing: that Kevin had been embarrassed for nothing. With the truth, she would be able to save face in the family. Her cousins that have insulted her would take it back. After all, his husband knew the popular Alessia from Phoenix Group.Silence ensued as everyone was too embarrassed to even say anything to Alessia. Who would have thought that Kevin didn't really steal the wine?“Well, he helped me once, and I gave him the wine. But you started treating him like a thief without knowing his worth. For this case, I will be cancelling the cooperation with the Perry family.” She announced.What!Everyone was gobbled.Alessia didn't wait for anyone to talk before she walked out of the hall. She was very angry. In fact, she would like to do more for them, but she needed Kevin's permission before anything would happen.How could they treat the mighty L
“Kneel down and apologize to Sunny, now!”Several servants were surrounding Kevin. Opposite him was a fierce dog, which was Morris's Sunny.Morris thundered. His voice attracted some of the maids and they sneaked into the large lobby of the Perry family's villa.Morris saw them but didn't say anything. His mission was to embarrass Kelvin like he used to anyway. With the maids around, it would make everything sweeter for him.“Do you even know how high and important this dog is?” Morris began with a flex of his muscle. “This dog is more expensive than the whole of your family combined. I will not stand still and watch you disregard it!”Kevin felt so humiliated, and he struggled hard, and said angrily, "It was your dog that bit me first! I’m just trying to protect myself!”Morris scoffed. “Does it look like I'm concerned a bit about you? Aren't you the useless house husband of the Perry family?”He said mockingly.The maids laughed lowly and exchanged words quietly.Something built ins
Morris groaned in pain and held onto his waist. He didn't expect Kevin to make such a move.He had never made such an intelligent move. How was he able to do it? Kevin has always been the dumb husband of Mia and he has enjoyed treating him badly for a year now.The men rushed closer to him and assisted him up. But he pushed them away angrily and turned to look at the maids who had been watching the whole drama unfold. He felt embarrassed."What are you still doing there!" He thundered. "Get lost!"The maids scampered away.Morris yelled several times before he turned to Kevin again. He was very upset. How could Kevin have made such a move and the men couldn't even stop it?"You are making a big mistake!" he yelled. "I'm telling you! You are!"Kevin didn't respond. A dark frown was on his face as he stood up slowly. More images flashed across his eyes. The dizziness increased but the headache was gone now. The images became clearer now but it seemed like his heart was racing as he wen
Mia frowned. She didn't expect that from Kevin at all. Within a year that she had known him, he was always timid but she didn't know where the courage suddenly came from.When Mia first met him, Kevin was not only timid but dense. This was even one of the reasons why she decided that he was fit to be her husband.But it was strictly a deal, Kevin wasn't supposed to act like a real husband. This was why they never slept together. They have never even shared a kiss since they have been married.But then how dared he demand to get involved in a business negotiation? Who has he started seeing himself as?Morris was shocked at Kevin's utterance too. Kevin has been acting really strange since a few minutes ago. Firstly, it was the skill he displayed. Now, he was being too bold.But before he could say something, Mendy cut in quickly."Well, you shouldn't be worried, Kevin. It's not like it's a new thing to us. Just last night, we were together in the same room in the hotel for a whole night
Kevin's words stunned everyone, but only Kevin himself knew the truth.Yes, he was the legendary "Lord Phoenix."Years ago, Kevin was ambushed by his enemies and met with an accident.He suffered head injuries and lost his memory. Fortunately, he was rescued by Mia, who happened to pass by.The Perry family was in turmoil at that time, and Mia, as the heir of the family, was on the verge of being stripped of her inheritance rights because she was unmarried.According to the Perry family's rules, only married individuals could take the helm of the family!Thus, Mia set her sights on Kevin, who had lost his memory and was somewhat timid. To her, Kevin was merely a tool to enable her to smoothly take over the family.Over the past few years, she had shown no concern for Kevin. Who would care about the feelings of a mere tool?But obviously, no one would believe his words.Mendy regarded Kevin for a few minutes and suddenly burst into laughter. "This your husband is a really humorous guy,
