“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 holding her close to himself while he held a cigarette in the other hand.
His entire arm was covered in tattoos and he had a scary scar on his face that made people avoid him.
Romero, who had his face buried in the woman's neck, raised his head at the sound of Miranda's footsteps. He flared up in anger and shouted, “who the hell are you? Can't you see I'm —” he raised his head and saw Miranda, and recognised her as the girlfriend of his close friend.
He straightened up, whispered something in the lady's ear then she stood up and walked out leaving only Miranda and Romero in the office.
Miranda, who was terrified because of how Romero looks, shook to the bones but tried to appear as composed as she could because she didn't want him to sense her fear.
“Good day, Romero” she greeted and walked further into the office.
“Miranda,” Romero stood up and met her halfway, “what can I do for you today?”
Miranda smiled, twirled her hair with her hand then opened her bag and brought out an expensive gold wristwatch in a transparent jewelry box. She stretched her arms to Romero, “I bought this for you”
“Why?!” Romero asked confused as to why she would buy him a golden wristwatch. He suspected that she needed something in return from him.
“Just felt like gifting it to you”
“What do you want?” Romero asked, wanting her to go straight to the point.
She then sighed and said “okay, I'd like to purchase a few lands from you. I'll appreciate if you could release some of your numerous lands”
It was no news that Romero pierson owned almost 50 percent of the lands in malinfania and if there's one thing he doesn't like it has to be letting go of his properties even if people offered money for it.
Romero smiled, even his smile was so creepy to everybody that gets to see his smile, “I knew there was something else you needed when you offered me that wristwatch”
“No, I—”
Romero raised his hand to silence her, “I'll accept the wristwatch and I'll give you the land. Not because you offered me a wristwatch but because you are the girlfriend of Roland, my long time friend”
He then started to walk towards his armchair and took a seat when he got there. He pointed at the armchair opposite to his and told Miranda to have a seat.
Just then, there was a knock on the door and Isabelle and Sebastien walked in.
“Who the hell are you?” Romero thundered, when they walked in unannounced.
“Romero, remember the debt you owe the Wilson's investment company? They've come to collect the money. But don't worry, I have no business with it. I'm Just here to buy some land!”
Miranda blurted out before they even got a chance to say anything.
Romero nodded, “I see”
He leaned back in his seat and took a sip of whiskey from his cup before turning back to face Isabelle and Sebastien with a sharp gaze, “Who gave you two the audacity to come all the way to my abode to collect the debt?! You must have a death wish”
Isabelle shuddered in fear and took a step back. “Romero, we really need the money. My family and I need it for an important task”
“you both must be really mad, to walk into the lion's den comfortably. That's commendable!”
Isabelle decided to subdue her fears and move closer to convince Romero.
“Please what can we do to get this money from you. We'll do anything within our power just give us the money please. I can even convince master Wilson to give you a position in the company. Just give us the money.”
Romero was stunned by her confidence. He couldn't remember the last time someone approached him so confidently like this but at the same time he was annoyed because this girl seemed to not be afraid of him which was unusual.
Miranda hissed, “Don't mind these clowns, Romero. I don't know why you are still listening to them. They should be beaten up and locked in the basement. That's what fools with such audacity deserve”
Isabelle was shocked when she heard what Miranda said. Miranda was supposed to be against Romero but it appears that all Miranda is concerned about is obtaining the land from romero.
Romero stood up and stared down at Isabelle who had moved even closer, “please, just do a good thing for us. I promise you won't regret it. Like I said earlier I'll make sure you are able to get a position or even something more significant from the company”
Just when it seemed like her words were having an effect on him. She held his arm and said, “Will you pay the debt?”
One moment she was standing and the next moment Romero pushed her roughly and she ended up in Sebastien's arms.

Chapter 161: give me her position
Chapter 161A few days later, At the Wilson family company, Miranda strolled into master Wilson’s office with a frown on her face. “What’s wrong?” Master Wilson questioned, his voice laced with concern Miranda sat on one of the office chairs with her hands folded. “Grandfather, I’m quite disheartened,” she said. “What’s wrong, darling?” Master Wilson questioned, taking off his reading glasses and placing it on the desk in front of him. “I was just thinking of how it’s been two weeks since I was, once again, wrongly accused by Isabelle and Sebastien” Miranda started. “And?…” ’master Wilson asked, urging her to go on. “And you’re yet to punish her for her acts.” Miranda finished “And it’s not too late, is it?” Master Wilson questioned. Miranda expected him to have done something about it since he promised her that night that he was going to make sure Isabelle doesn’t do something like that again. And by saying that, Miranda had the feeling that giving Isabelle a punishment was
Chapter 160: leave it all to me
Chapter 160Later that day,Tony Wilson sat in the lounge, Sebastien’s words replaying in his mind. He really didn’t know what to do. He had told Sebastien that he was going to come up with another way to expose Miranda but he totally didn’t have any idea of how he planned on making that work out. “You really thought you could outsmart me, right?” Miranda sneered. Miranda’s voice pulled Tony Wilson out of his train of thoughts. “What do you want, Miranda?” He questioned calmly. “What did they promise you? Huh?” Miranda taunted him as she got closer to where he sat. “You seem to have forgotten whose side you should be on. You seem to have forgotten whose side is safer? Need I remind you?” Miranda chuckled, “or would you rather get bitten to learn a lesson?” “Can you just leave me?! Let me be!” Tony Wilson said, his voice going up a notch. “Of course, I’ll leave you. But only with a warning” she said then pointed her well manicured index finger at him, “you better make the right d
Chapter 159: sweet but poisonous
Chapter 159Miranda took the device from master Wilson and spent a while looking at it. “This is not authentic! Can’t you see it grandfather?? This is obviously AI” Master Wilson raised his brows, “is that so?” Then directed his gaze to Isabelle and Sebastien. “No. It isn’t AI” Sebastien said confidently, he believed there was no way they’d be able to find out that AI was used for some parts. Tony Wilson’s heart started beating rapidly in his chest. He didn’t want to be exposed. But he knew it was very possible that Miranda found a way to confirm that it was AI that was used.“Can you prove it?” Master Wilson questioned Miranda, diverting his gaze to her once again. Miranda smirked, fortunately she came prepared and had already installed the software she needed to scan the video to detect AI. “Yes. I can, grandfather” she said, still smirking. Isabelle locked eyes with Tony Wilson silently questioning him. She knew this one mustn’t blow off if not master Wilson might never belie
Chapter 158: Take a look
Chapter 158 “I’m sorry, I wouldn’t be able to provide the funds you need” Miranda broke the news to Lucas. “I really think you should try reaching out to the president once again”“Do you hate me that much?” Lucas threw back at her, “I already made it clear the reason I wouldn’t be able to go buy to the president to request for funds” “But there isn’t much…” Miranda said, trying to explain to Lucas that she was also in a tight corner. “You have a wealthy and influential grandfather, use that to your advantage. Just use this as a way of showing your appreciation for all I have done for you” Lucas persuaded her. Miranda sighed, I’ll try to see what I can do. Miranda sat on her bed dejectedly when the call ended. She literally didn’t have anybody around her that she could easily reach out to to give her money. She had to devise a plan to get the money she needed. She had to earn people’s pity. And she had an idea how to go about that. The only thing she wasn’t sure of was the succe
Chapter 157: equal magnitude
Chapter 157 The next day, Lucas became increasingly worried when Miranda didn’t get back to him like she promised she would. He came to a conclusion that she probably didn’t have the money. Hence, the start of his dilemma. He considered going to meet the president for funds or waiting for the president to reach out to him concerning the delay in the execution of the task but both of those options will warrant him getting scolded by the president. A few months back, the president had granted him a loan that was sufficient enough to carry out the task to completion but Lucas invested a part of the money into getting items that he would need for his business. The money ended up being insufficient and a shiver ran down Lucas’ spine as he imagined going back to the president to request for more funds. Lucas decided to give Miranda a few more days. ‘She is probably sourcing for the money’ he thought to himself. He knew Miranda would want to go to any extent to help him. After
Chapter 156: unexpected help
Chapter 156“Wow” Tony Wilson exclaimed and looked at Isabelle and Sebastien with complete astonishment as he watched the video on the device Sebastien handed him.“This is just a few seconds of the video that we were able to gather” Sebastien explained and at that moment the screen of the device turned grey. “But it is enough to get the video from Miranda and free yourself”Tony Wilson’s eyes lit up with gratitude, “thank you so much. I genuinely appreciate”Sebastien nodded, “but, I must get the video Miranda has of you in return” Sebastien stated firmly, a silent threat underlying his voice, “you are not deserving of anything free from my wife and I” Sebastien said in a tone of finality Tony Wilson nodded. He was filled with gratitude and all he wanted to do was find a way to stop Miranda from exposing him. He didn’t know how he would be able to help Sebastien and Isabelle in return but he just wanted to be on the safe side.*******************Later that day,Miranda had her lap
