2024-10-29 19:42:56Roland walked to where master Wilson sat and said “grandfather, I'm so sorry. I didn't know anything about this. My jeweler is responsible for this and as soon as I get home, I'm going to sack him. I promise to even bring a more expensive gift for you. I'm so sorry grandfather “ he then bowed his head waiting for grandfather's response.
“There's no need anymore. The celebration is almost over. And I don't have two birthdays in a year”
“But, I still—” Roland insisted but he was cut short.
“I have other critical things to discuss today, like I've said don't bother about this anymore!”
Roland walked shamefully to where Miranda stood.
Master Wilson clapped his hand twice, signaling that the attention of the crowd, made up of his family members, was needed.
“So, I have called everyone together. Not just for this birthday ceremony but also for the announcement of my next heir”
This piqued the interest of the family members
“My son will be most suitable, after all he is the first grandchild of the Wilson's family”
“No, my daughter is most suitable. She started up her own business at age 17. That is a responsible child!”
“No, my son graduated with a first class….”
The arguments went on and on until Master Wilson silenced them. “Enough!”
Then he continued, “The next heir for my company will be chosen by myself and the heir will be the one who is able to get a deal with Chesterfield investment company”
Everyone murmured amongst themselves. They all knew it wasn't easy to secure a deal with Chesterfield investment company as there are always lots of other companies requesting for the same deal.
“My wife will get the deal,” Sebastien said.
“What did you say?” Master Wilson asked again to be sure he was hearing correctly.
“Isabelle, my wife, will get the deal” Sebastien repeated, this time louder. Everyone was shocked as they heard this, even Isabelle couldn't believe her ears, she wondered what he had up his sleeves.
“Will she be considered as an heir if she is able to secure the deal?” Sebastien asks just to be sure.
“We haven't cleared the debts of the company yet and Isabelle is in no position to be heir. Not after all her disgraceful acts in the past two years” Tony, Isabelle's cousin said. Isabelle was heading the finance department of the company when they fell into a huge debt.
“That wasn't my fault. The gangster who refused to pay is clearly at fault” Isabelle tried to defend herself.
“Nonsense, it's because you were too lenient with him. I'm sure if someone else was in charge of the finance department he wouldn't have gotten away with that. This is just a clear sign of how you'll lead the company if you were made the heir.” Tony attacked her.
Master Wilson cleared his throat, signaling that their attention is still needed, he then turned to sebastien, “Yes, Isabelle will be considered the next heir if and only if she gets the deal with Chesterfield investment company and not only that but she must clear the debts from the underworld gangster, Romero Pierson, in the time frame of three days”
Isabelle gasped, horror evident in her eyes. Master Wilson's request obviously kept Isabelle in a difficult situation.
Romero pierson isn't an easy person to deal with. He kills people for fun! Yes, that's how dangerous he is and grandfather is saying she has to collect the debts from him to be able to be the next heir.
Romero Pierson goes about owing companies and whenever they try to request for their money he ends up threatening them and if they insist they end up losing one or more body parts. Yes, that's how violent and heartless he is.
Even other big companies end up forfeiting their money once romero pierson is involved. People started avoiding him because they didn't want problems for themselves.
Isabelle's parents shivered in fear, there's no way they would allow their daughter to be exposed to such harm. If that is a criteria then she may as well forget the position of being the next heir.
“Hahaha. Even the warriors in this town couldn't face Romero pierson. Is it now this weakling and her retard husband that'll be able to face him” Tony, Isabelle's cousin, said.
Normally, Miranda will be the one to start the mockery but she had her face still lowered in shame from the previous events.
“If Romero could single handedly kill five warriors. What gives you the confidence that you'll be able to escape from his wrath? Better give up on your pursuit of being next heir and focus on your husband and your sad life”
In a panic, Adeline exclaimed “No father! it's too risky, what if something happens to Isabelle! What will we do”
Tony snickered, “Aunt Adeline, it's okay if you don't want Isabelle to go, but then you and your family will forever be in poverty and debt. It's not as if she'll even succeed if she goes but at least she might have a tiny chance of succeeding, but she'll be covered in bruises” Toney burst into laughter, mocking them openly.
“She won't go and that is final!” Adeline said with a tone of finality and her husband, Harry, agreed with her.

Sebastien turned to look at Isabelle and took her hands in his, “Accept the offer, I am with you,I'll help you and I promise we will succeed”Miranda laughed, clearly over her earlier embarrassment, “Do you guys think this is a movie? This is real life, you can't just assure support with mere words. At the end of the day you both will be decapitated with bruises all over”“Two couples. One is dumb, the other is mad. Lovely combination. Do you guys even think it's possible to accomplish such a task within 3 days?! Do yourselves a favor and quit trying to be the next heir “ Tony supported Miranda “But we don't want to attend any burial now, do we?” Miranda asked mockingly. “Keep quiet and go back to the hole you dug out from. You seek to have forgotten what your shameful boyfriend did. Need a remainder?” Sebastien attacked her and she opened her mouth to reply but couldn't form words so she just stepped back.“Stop it Sebastien, you've already caused enough havoc in our lives.

“What are you doing here?” Isabelle asked, she asked because she knew she was the only person grandfather gave the task of debt clearing to.“I'm here to meet Romero Pierson, I need to purchase a few lands from him” she then flipped her hair, “why am I even telling the both of you! You have no business with my life!”“We don't want to have any business with you, we were just wondering what you were doing here. Stop barking” Sebastien said, thereby earning a glare from Miranda. “I guess you guys are so scared about going to meet Romero to ask for the money. That's why you are here stalling the meeting“ Miranda placed a hand on her chest in mock sympathy. “Well I understand, Nobody wants broken bones except two crazy people. All the best” she winked and went inside. Miranda strutted into Romero's office.She entered a spacious office where a man with a luxurious gold chain sat on an armchair. He had a woman sitting on his lap, straddling him, and he had one hand around her waist hold

Sebastien's gaze darkened with fury, “you know, I just stood in the corner, watching. Waiting. Hoping that you wouldn't lay your filthy hands on my wife. How dare you?”Sebastien was so livid and even Isabelle and Miranda were taken aback by the level of his annoyance. “Do you have a death wish!” Sebastien thundered.Romero burst out into laughter, he couldn't hide his amusement. He couldn't believe he was being threatened by a non-entity. “You are very stupid. Who do you think you are to threaten me? I have an expertise in dealing with people like you”He snapped his fingers twice and three guards came into the office with chains, blindfolds and ak47 guns.“Tie them up!” He ordered the guards. Isabelle shivered in fear. Her thoughts ran wild at that point. Was this how she was going to die? Maybe she should have listened to her parents? What if they kill her and Sebastien?The guards dragged Sebastien away from Isabelle first and chained his wrists and ankles to a pole.Romero took

Isabelle and Sebastien took the check and walked out of his office. When they got to the gate they saw Miranda there sulking beside her car.“You! The both of you! How can I be humiliated because of the two of you! I promise you both will pay for this. I'll tell grandfather and everyone that you both watched Romero beat me up!”Isabelle was shocked at her outburst, where they were supposed to stop Romero from beating her up. Would she have done the same if it was the other way round.“Oh shut up! Would you have done the same if it was the other way round?” Sebastien asked calmly, he knew the answer should be no after all she was mocking them and wished they had gotten beaten up by Romero. “That doesn't matter! What's important is that you should have helped me!” Miranda felt ashamed, why would he slap her in front of those little brats and to add to the shame he didn't even give her the land that she came for.She fumed in anger. This was the height of disrespect she had received in

When they got to the house, Adeline ran downstairs to welcome them. She hugged Isabelle and examined her body before asking, “hope you didn't get hurt?” Isabelle was surprised by her mother's reaction, she expected her mother to be angry and shout at them.Isabelle smiled, then said, “I'm fine, I don't know how Sebastien did it but he really helped me”“I think you should thank him instead and on the bright side we were able to get the money from romero pierson” Isabelle turned to look at Sebastien with a huge grin on her face.Adeline couldn't believe what Isabelle said, there's no way that a retard like Sebastien could save her daughter from a mafia gangster. “That isn't possible. Isn't it this Sebastien that isn't even capable of protecting himself not to talk of protecting another person”“Mum, I was there and I know what I saw. And because of Sebastien they obeyed us and gave us the money and even added extra interest” she raised the suitcase and showed her mother.Her mother r

Later that night Isabelle's phone rang, she picked it up and took a look at the call ID, it was Sebastien. She then answered the call with a smile on her face. “How are you feeling now?” His smooth voice was the first thing she heard. His voice always made her fall deeper in love with him. If that was even possible. “I've told you I'm fine, Sebastien.” Isabelle tried to assure him. “Thanks for your help earlier today, you still haven't told me how you did it but I'm sure we didn't get hurt because of you” “Hmm. Like I said earlier, at the right time. You'll know. Right now let's focus on securing the deal with Chesterfield investment company. We really need to get this deal” Isabelle nodded, forgetting for a moment that he wasn't there with her. “Yes. But how can we do that in such a short time frame? We have just today and tomorrow!” Isabelle wanted nothing more but to see Miranda being put to shame but at the same time the possibility of Isabelle getting the investment was ver

Sebastien was supposed to meet Isabelle that afternoon but the plans her parents had ruined everything. Isabelle was currently seated in front of the huge mirror that was placed in her bedroom and the hairstylist and make-up artist were busy on her hair and face respectively. Immediately she agreed to go for the dinner, Adeline was so excited that she called professionals to make Isabelle look more beautiful. In no time they were done with what they came to do and Isabelle took a look at the mirror and she was impressed because of how good the make up made her look.After that, the beauticians left and Adeline came into the room with some boxes. Isabelle was surprised when she saw the labels on those boxes. Those were designer products and they weren't extremely expensive. “Mum! How did you get that?” She couldn't help but ask because she knew with their current financial situation there was no way that her mother would have been able to purchase products from prestige brand.

Sebastian was hurt by their actions, but deep down he had a feeling that Isabelle would not betray him. He knew that no matter what, she would stay by his side. If she was with him when he was handicapped, how much more now that he is hale and hearty. His phone rang and he picked it up, it was the man he was supposed to have a meeting with concerning the Chesterfield investment deal. “Good day sir. So we have scheduled the meeting for tomorrow as you earlier requested, just wanted to confirm if it's fine with you” the man said.“No. Let's have the meeting today” Sebastian said with so much authority. He had earlier planned on telling Isabelle about his meeting plans with some of the officials in Chesterfield investment group but since she had other plans he was just going to carry on without her.There's no time to waste.“The luxe, 10am.

She was extremely terrified. “Sebastien, this is worse than I thought. There are gangsters causing issues at the company. The entrance is blocked and everything has come to a halt. We are in dire need of help” Adeline rambled as soon as Sebastien picked up the call. “Calm down,” Sebastien said, “I would be there shortly. In the meantime, stay safe” Sebastien said, then the call ended after he assured Adeline that everything would be fine.

Adeline was so pleased by the company’s growth and she was very proud that the company was headed by her. In fact, she boasted about the company whenever she was in the midst of her friends.Adeline had earlier asked Sebastien if there was any form of promotion or advertisement that he was providing the resource company with but Sebastien told her that there wasn’t any. The total profit made by the company that month was ten million dollars which was double of what they made the previous month. **************Romero Pierson, motivated by the sum of money promised to him by Tony Wilson, gathered a few of his subordinates and began to issue orders to them. “Welcome everyone, I believe you are all aware of the hunt’s resource company and how in the last two months they have managed to monopoliz

Any problem with that?” “Not at all. Just that she hasn’t stopped ringing it in my ears that she is the head of such a fast rising company and I’m sure her friends are also suffering the same thing” Isabelle said.Sebastien chuckled, “well, that is great news then.” Isabelle nodded in agreement with Sebastien, “yeah, I haven’t seen her this happy in a while. It seems like this is something she always wanted” Isabelle said. Truly, after Isabelle’s father travelled out of the country. There was a terrible decline in Adeline’s business and that led to it eventually folding up because she was running at a loss. “I’m glad to have been able to offer that to her,” Sebastien said calmly. “Thank you so much!” Isabelle said with a huge grin planted on her face. “But, you still didn’t tell me how you were able to acquire the

Isabelle just kept on checking out of instinct because she still found it surreal that they had managed to catch Miranda on live camera. “Okay, let me see what you have managed to gather,” Master Wilson said, after they explained to him that they had gotten concrete evidence.

Chapter 134: heated moment
Chapter 134Isabelle was so disturbed at work the next day because she had gotten a text from Violet very early that morning. Violet had complained about Miranda sending her a message, requesting for her assistance. Violet said Miranda didn’t mention the form of assistance she needed, but she added a threatening message warning Violet that she would face severe consequences if she refused the offer. Or tries to avoid her further. At the time Violet was mentioning this to Isabelle, she hadn’t replied to Miranda’s message and Isabelle wasn’t sure if she would have replied now. Isabelle placed a finger on the bridge of her nose as she drew in a deep breath. Isabelle was instantly filled with guilt as she realised that Violet is going through all these now because of her involvement. Maybe if she hadn’t accepted to become the head of department, Violet wouldn’t have been dragged into all this mess. It was Friday, and the last day of the week. So, Isabelle made up her mind to visit mas
