Feran was speechless for a while until he regained his voice and pointed at Elijah."What the hell did you say? Seventy billion dollars?! My brother, Vicentzo owe you that?""You're right. I've patiently waited and kept my cool but not anymore. I need my brother. I'm sure he's in hell now but I know I can still retrieve the debt he owes me from you.""Elijah, you're damn crazy," Feran said, causing Elijah to sit up. "In no damn world could Vicentzo owe you that much.""Well he did in this damn world.""How…?""We made a bet…""He probably lost and you want to swindle the seventy billion from me?!""No. I'm not going to do anything illegal. I've got some papers. In the papers you'd see your brother's signature. I gave him a hundred billion dollars for investment. He said he'd make me get double of what I invested. Then he told me one day that he had lost the money in a gamble. That he had no intention of making me invest in your family business, but rather he wanted to try his luck aga
Everyone was surprised by what ma'am Miguel said. They remembered her telling them on fateful day that Feran was only still standing high and making way because his grandfather had his back. She had told them that he was a nobody and he would let them be if he loses his grandfather who was his mentor and biggest support someday and they all believed her. But now they regret it.Laura was the most shocked person in the family. She believed she had underestimated Feran too and for the third time. She felt like a big fool because she ought to have known best."Now look what that rotten bastard has done," Mark groaned. His girlfriend whom he has recently engaged, making her his fiancee, attempted to cool him down by touching him but he flinched. "We've lost our potential clients!""I thought he would stop coming after us? Now he has pulled a string to ruin our entire family. This is bad for us," Clara said"You all better not step on my toes by crying, whining and groaning like dogs! I'm
Laura was very happy that her grandmother believed in her. She was more confident than ever to prove her worth to her. When she left her grandmother's room, she was informed that her parents had gone home. She got out of the house and called Elijah."Elijah, I want you to do something.""What do you want? I already talked to Feran.""Make a post," Laura sneered. "A demeaning post about the Andersons. Feran's qualities should be questioned in the post too. Make it as soon as possible.""Okay. I got you.""Good," Laura muttered and ended the call. She got into her car and drove off. The following day,she was driving to the company when she got a message from Elijah. She pulled over to the side of the road and read the message. A smile appeared on her face when she was done reading the message and she headed to Feran's company instead.Feran stepped out of his car that morning with Jeana when the driver pulled up in front of the company. They were about to head into the building when Fe
Jeana slowly stood up, speechless. She didn't know what to tell them."Feran is receiving treatment in London? How's that possible? You said he only went there for check up, right?" Zoey asked. Jeana couldn't say a word but nodded."Ummm, actually," she managed to say after gaining her voice. "Please excuse me. I would like to see my sister off." Jeana took Kayla's hands and took a step to leave but stopped when it dawned on her that it was the first time they were meeting Kayla so it would be improper to make her leave without introducing her to them."I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce my sister to you guys," she apologized to Anna, Zita and Zoey who were still dumbfounded."Well, this is Kayla and she's…""Uh, I already introduced myself to them when I arrived," Kayla interrupted her with a smile. Jeana felt a bit embarrassed but shrugged it off the very next second. She stared at them one last time and gave a weird giggle."Sorry, I totally forgot that you all already met my sister
"Jeana, please speak up," Zita urged, making Jeana feel more tended. Jeana didn't know what to say. She had no idea what her mother-in-law had heard her talking about with Fernando before walking in. She didn't want to have herself in a complicated issue.Zita on the other side had only just walked to the office door and had only heard Jeana's last sentence before she rushed in demanding to know what that they were keeping from them."Mother-in-law, it's really nothing serious. Um, Fernando." Jeana stared at Fernando and gestured at him to leave before gesturing at the seat for Zita to sit down. When Zita sat down and Fernando walked to the door. He looked back at Jeana who took the next seat and signaled to her not to say anything then left."Jeana, talk to me…""Mother," Jeana said, placing a hand on Zita's hands which were lying on her laps. "I'm not keeping anything from you. ""Then what were you and Fernando talking about before I walked in? You told him that you both shouldn't
Laura simply knew it would be best to not say anything concerning her plan B. She glanced at everyone in the study and inhaled before talking."Grandmother, I guess there's supposed to be something we can use to bring Feran and his entire family down. I think they could be a secret that can ruin Feran's reputation. I just need to learn about it and after that it would be a cake." Laura smiled and shrugged. Ma'am Miguel gave her a worried look and she rolled her eyes to her mother. "Don't worry, grandmother. I'll find a way," she assured and they all went silent, not uttering a word against Laura.Two days later, the Anderson family were having dinner in the evening. They all had a gloom on their faces which didn't sit well with Jeana so she decided to cheer them all up."Hello everyone, what's with the faces you all have now? You guys should cheer up, please.""Jeana, don't try to change our mood, please," Zoey requested in a calm way. "Dear, it's been going to a week now and we've n
The next morning, the Anderson family were having breakfast, quietly at the dining table. Sir Leo cleared his throat when some of the members of the family were almost through with their food and he is said:"Jeana, you had Feran brought back from London. He's in the city, right?"Jeana dropped her spoon and stared at Zoey. Just like she had thought last night, Zoey or her daughter, Anna must have told everyone before she arrived at the dining room about her entering the house quietly last night and what she BB told them about Feran.Zoey felt a bit bad for telling the family about seeing Jeana returned late last night and about Feran so she decided to apologize."Jeana, I'm sorry if you think it was wrong for me to tell everyone about what you said to me and Anna last night. They just needed to be aware that Feran is back in the city.""It's okay, Aunt Zoey. You did nothing wrong," Jeana said with a smile. She looked at everyone and nodded. "Yes, I had Feran brought back to the city
"Why shouldn't we call the police?" Lovisa asked and Jeana shook her head."I'll just get her out of here," Jeana said. She grabbed Laura's arm and pulled her along with her out of the house.Laura groaned when Jeana walked out and tossed her like a paper ball, letting go of her."Don't you dare show up here again or the next time you do,I won't be lenient and I'll make sure you leave this house in a police car that day, and that is a promise not a threat, Laura. Be warned," Jeana said, pointing at Laura. She attempted to head back Inside but Laura stopped her."Hey, Jeana, what do you think that your secret will stay hidden forever? That's laughable, you know." Laura chuckled as Jeana flicked a stare at her. "What secret are you talking about?" Jeana asked, acting oblivious of what Laura was talking about."Stop acting dumb. I know you're keeping something from everyone. You and Feran are hiding something from your family. And, tell me something. Why are you keeping Feran's were abo
