“Why is it looking as if they're forcing you to marry her? Have you forgotten everything you both shared?” Mrs. Lorelei cried out with tear-filled eyes.As his father commanded, Justin visited Isabella and her Mom to invite them to his father's house.“Of course, I'm being forced to go out of my comfort zone. Why on earth should a man be forced to marry a woman who betrayed and broke up with him? I wasn't the one who ended the relationship. She did,” Justin snapped.“Justin, you know what, do what seems best for you since you can't forgive me for what I did to you. I have realized my mistake and I have already forgiven myself. So, it's left for you to do what you want. Besides, you are fully aware that I have gotten a new boyfriend who is ready to take care of me and my unborn baby. I see no reason why I should beg you for mercy, so you can accept me back as your girlfriend.” Isabella smirked.“Shut up, Isabella!” Mrs. Lorelei smacked her head as she grinned at her daughter. “ Are you
“Dad,” Justin called out to his father. “Meet Isabella and her Mom.”Mrs. Lorelei smiled at Mr. Hemsworth who was about to welcome them, yet she was unsettled. She was lost as to why Mr. Hemsworth was looking at her like that.“Lorelei,” Mr. Hemsworth called out after approaching Mrs. Lorelei, who was about to greet him.Both Isabella and her Mom stood dumbfounded as they gazed at the man standing in front of them.Of course, Isabella knew that her Mom had never met her mom before. So, it was surprising that he knew her name.On the contrary, Isabella and her Mom assumed that Justin might have told his father her name. However, they were taken aback after finding out that Justin was also astonished by that, leaving them in awe at how Mr. Hemsworth knew Mrs. Lorelei's name.“Nice to see you again after countless years,” Mr. Hemsworth announced as he extended his hand and invited Mrs. Lorelei for a handshake.Mrs. Lorelei hesitated before she finally took his hand.“I-I… forgive me, but
“If my memory serves me correctly, Dad, you asked me to bring them over so you could talk about Isabella and me. What is the deal with all these?” Justin expressed his displeasure with the situation.“Oh, I am sorry about that. Please take your seats,” Mr. Hemsworth said, and the guests all nodded.They all sat down. As soon as they sat, a butler appeared with two tumblers filled with juice and offered them to the two guests. They gratefully accepted it and began to sip, anticipating what Mr. Hemsworth would say next.“Before I proceed, I believe my son has told you why you are here,” Mr. Hemsworth said. “Yes, sir, he did.” Mrs. Lorelei responded.“Fantastic,” Mr. Hemsworth said. "I am fully aware of what happened between your daughter and my son, Lorelei. This was supposed to be a simple matter, but my son is stubborn. Nonetheless, he informed me that your daughter has a complaint to file as well. So I invited her to tell me what was wrong.”“But given that we were close friends in o
Isabella sprang to her feet and ran toward Justin just as he turned to leave. Her eyes were full of tears as she stood in front of Justin."Please forgive me, Justin. I had no idea it would lead to this. Don't leave your father's house because of me,” Isabella sympathized with Justin.“Get your filthy hands off my brother, you family destroyer,” Ariana finally said after being silent for a long time as if she were not in the room.She pushed Isabella away from Justin and then stood in front of him, unsure what to say.Even before she said anything, tears streamed down her cheeks to the ground, causing Justin to shift his gaze away from her and in another direction.She sniffed, then turned around to face her father, who was still sitting in his seat, his face contorted with rage.Ariana covered the space between her and her father. She silently stood before her father and spoke.“Is this how you want it to end? What would people say if they found out you chased your son out of the hous
In the Transcorp Group of Conglomerate's headquarters conference room, Justin could be seen standing in front of other CEOs, anticipating what to say. Justin appeared unsettled and depressed, and everyone could see it written all over his face.The conference room was silent for a while as everyone was eager for Justin to speak. They weren't there just to elaborate on the development of their businesses, but to also iron out the previous issue. The issue of the listening device that was installed in the restroom.That was their biggest threat to them and if they don't deal with it, it will greatly affect their businesses. After waiting for what seemed like ages, Charlotte, the company's secretary, stood up and said to the business partners.“We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused to you. As you all can see, the CEO’s son is currently going through hard times, and…” Before Charlotte could complete her statement, Justin had cut her off.“Enough, Charlotte!” Justin sp
With haste, Charlotte took another elevator and followed Justin to the floor.Immediately, the elevator stopped and Charlotte stepped out of it, she spotted Justin and his guards exiting the quarters.She ran up to him and said, “What should I do now that you're leaving, sir? Because I can't replace you and your sister isn't available to continue from where you stopped. Of course, you know the issues we have at hand, and only you can tackle this. Everyone in there is eager to say something about this company, especially what's currently happening.“Not only that, you promised them that they would be given the room to say and ask whatever they needed to know about this company, sir. Sir, I have no clue about what transpired between you and your father, but I'm convinced that you can forgive each other and…”“Shut up, Charlotte!” Justin smacked as he grimaced at the lady standing a few inches away from him.Immediately, his hoarse voice echoed, and Charlotte trembled, causing her to quic
He proceeded and said, “They agreed that their children will get married when they come of age. All this transpired because of their friendship. They decided for us without seeking our decision.“Furthermore, I couldn't back out. Because the lady, on the contrary, was a gold digger who wanted to marry me because of my money,” he explained, looking disturbed as he recalled everything that happened in the past that resulted in where he was currently.“Wait, wait! What are you talking about? Did you mean you're a wealthy man? If yes, then why is driving your job? Shouldn't you have been in your office or even resting at home by now?” Diana found herself inquiring.“I was a wealthy businessman before, but not now, my dear,” the man let out a sad expression.“Why?”“Because the woman I married squandered everything behind my back. It was too late before I realized that she was the cause of my downfall. She's just a parasite in my life. “Here I am driving around the city to provide for my f
Diana took Justin's hand and led him into the house as soon as the cab driver was no longer visible. When Justin walked into the lounge, he noticed Mrs. Elisa sitting on the couch, her gaze fixed on the television as she listened to the news."Hey, Mom," Diana said to her mother as she sat beside her, a smile curving her lips."What is it, Diana…?" Mrs. Elisa froze as soon as she saw the tall, handsome man standing in front of her, hands tucked behind him and an innocent expression on his face."Good day, ma'am," Justin said, slightly bowing to Mrs. Elisa, who seemed surprised by his presence.“G-good day, Mr. Justin. I… hmm…" Mrs. Elisa became nervous, as though she were suspecting something. "Please excuse my manners. I am surprised to see you here because my daughter did not let me know you were coming, so the cook can prepare something delicious for you."Even though she forced herself to speak, Justin could tell something was wrong, and he wanted to know what it was."You do not
