The response got Mrs Perry super furious. She couldn't quite contain the anger building up inside her. She looked at Kevin with hatred emanating from her eyes. “You are so shameless! How dare you make the whole Perry family awkward! How dare you as the son-in-law of this family!”Mia was so awkward. She couldn't confidently look at her cousins. She felt embarrassed. Yet, she turned to Kevin, brimming fire.“What do you think you are doing, Kevin?” She yelled at him instead. “When will you stop making trouble here? What is wrong with you!” She scolded him.Mendy laughed, feeling pleased with himself. He was so happy that Kevin was helping him with his plan.He decided to further make use of the opportunity.“In fact,” Mendy said suddenly, turning attention back to him. “I know the senior manager of Phoenix Group and well, he can also help the Perry family to cooperate with them. But then, that wouldn't work if they knew the son-in-law of the Perry family had offended the owner of the P
How did Phoenix Group hear of Mrs Perry's birthday party?Everyone was shocked.The man cleared his throat meaningfully when no one replied to him. “Sorry, may I know who Mrs Perry is?” He asked again as everyone was too shocked to say a word.Phoenix Group is one of the most important and influential groups in Falcone state. Sending gifts to someone like Perry's family was considered a high honour.“She's our grandmother!” Morris said quickly.Mrs Perry moved forward, with a wide smile on her face. “I am. Did you say you are from Miss Alessia Anderson?”The man nodded once. “Yes ma’am. And here is what she has for you_”Just as he said this, four men walked inside carrying one or two things. They walked to Mrs Perry and started presenting the gifts to her.Mrs Perry took the first gift with a sudden gasp. “Is this Chinese Famille-Rose Baluster Vase?”The man nodded with a smile. “Very well, ma’am.”Mrs Perry couldn't believe it. She ran her fingers around the vase. She had seen a pic
Henry moved closer to be able to see the wine very well.He made a nod of his head. “There's no way I will be mistaken.”“Are you sure?” Mrs Perry probed further.Henry nodded again. “I mean this wine is definitely from the CEO. There's no way it will be a fake. She got it at the auction,” He explained further.Mrs Perry was confused for a moment. She looked at Kevin. Could that be right? If the wine was really real, then Kevin got such an expensive wine for her birthday. And that's all that matters!“How hard did you work to have been able to afford this wine?” She asked because she didn't believe that Kevin was truly Alessia's friend. The thought of it made her laugh.Mia looked at Kevin, shocked. “Is that true? The wine is real and you are really a friend of the CEO?”Even though she found it hard to believe, little facts were staring right at them.Kevin felt it was ridiculous and couldn't answer. Mia chose to believe everything she heard from people and not him. There was no poin
Amidst the jubilation, Morris and Mendy couldn't discuss. But Morris was constantly looking at him.Morris could see that Mendy was angry and he knew what that would be for him. He needed to pacify him.“Grandmother! Don't you think Mr Mendy should be invited to the party as well?” Morris said suddenly.“That's right!” One of Mia's cousins, Rosaline added quickly. “Mr Mendy should really be invited,” she said teasingly.“Yes, he's not like some useless son-in-law!” Another supported.“Yes, mother. I also think he should be invited,” Morris' father, Philip said eventually. He had been quiet since the party started.Mia groaned inwardly. She could not talk. She felt even more embarrassed. Mrs Perry nodded once. “That's right. Mr Mendy Karim is invited to the business party that will come up in two days,” she announced.Morris nodded happily and looked at Mendy.“Thank you so much, Mrs Perry,” Mendy responded, with a sly smile. He couldn't stop thinking of how Kevin could have gotten
Kevin woke up earlier and walked back to the room. He knocked several times and when Mia didn't respond, he pushed the door open.“What do you think you are doing here?” Mia's cold voice boomed suddenly.She was at the dressing table, applying makeup on her face.“Good morning, i_”“You didn't answer my question,” she cut in harshly. Her voice was not only cold but brutal. Kevin could hear the hatred emanating from it.Kevin released a sigh. “I want to use the bathroom. You didn't let me sleep here last night. Should I not wash this morning?”Mia scoffed. “Why should I be concerned if you wash or not? You don't even have a job you resume every morning,” she turned to look at Kevin. “Your only job was to be the best husband.”Kevin released a sigh of frustration. Not again! He had no strength to pursue it.“You should be ready to apologize to my grandmother.”“And why should I do that? Mr Henry confirmed that the wine was indeed authentic. What should I be apologizing for?”Mia scoffed
Alessia walked to her desk and pulled out the drawer. She took a card and walked back to Kevin.“I've had this prepared for you the moment I established this plaza,” she explained and stretched out a black card with edges of gold.Kevin took it and regarded it for a moment. It had “Kevin Di Lorenzo” boldly inscribed on it.“It's a black card specially made for you. I knew you didn't die. So, I had a certain amount deposited in it every time. I don't know how much you have it in now but it's big enough for a black card,” she explained.Kevin felt impressed. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “Impressive,” he remarked.Alessia smiled, feeling proud of herself. It looked like Lord Phoenix was proud of her. “I knew you were going to show up. I just didn't know when. I didn't for once lose hope on you.”Kevin looked at her and patted her on the head. “That's why you are my little cat.”Alessia blushed slightly.“Since you are leaving for the Falcone state, I will book you a flight i
Kevin arrived at the airport. Alessia booked him a first-class seat. He didn't know about it until it was time to leave.If Kevin had known, he wouldn't have allowed her. But then, it wasn't everything he would be stopping Alessia from doing.She was his person after all.Kevin entered the plane and walked to the first-class seat. He found his number after searching for a while.A woman was already sitting by the windowside. His seat was beside her.The woman screamed suddenly as Kevin sat beside her. Kevin was so startled that he stood up, thinking there was something on the seat. “Is something wrong?” He asked, concerned when he didn't see what was wrong with the seat.“No way!” she screamed again, ignoring his question.Kevin was confused. She wrinkled her nose as if there was a disgusting smell coming from somewhere around her. “Someone needs to get here this moment!” She yelled the more.Her shriek attracted people around. Everyone started to gather around to see what was reall
The stewardess felt a stab of annoyance. Kevin was not only poor but also stubborn. She thought she could let things go away quietly and save his face. That was her being kind but she wouldn't do that anymore.“Leave now and you won't be arrested. If you get arrested, you will never be allowed on Phoenix Airlines again,” The stewardess warned. “Not that you will be able to afford it anyway,” she mocked.People around them laughed.“Exactly!” The woman from earlier supported her. “I just don't know how he was able to sneak past the guards. Phoenix Airway is way better than this. I don't expect this kind of thing here!”The stewardess turned to the woman with an apologetic expression. “I'm so sorry ma’am. We will take care of the whole situation,” she apologized.Everyone who has ever used Phoenix Airways is always rich, and the stewardess knew how much that would help her. Most of the time, he could get tips. So, she didn't want to offend anyone.“Don't worry, everything is going to be
