At the Lawrence family's company, Charles sat on a chair with wheels behind the huge brown wooden table and tiles side to side with the chair. His legs were laid stretched out on the table and his injured arm was wrapped in a bandage. He had managed to apply pressure to the injury that night so he didn't lose enough blood to kill him. Though he lost blood, that singular act helped to save his life and luckily for him there was a hospital located not so far away from where he was.When Isabelle stabbed him at first, he thought he was going to die. He didn't know she would have the nerve to do such a thing and for that, he'll make sure she pays dearly. He knew there is a high chance that she'll go about telling people what he did but he is quite confident that no one would believe her because why would such a noble and well respected man like him stoop so low?Little did they know. Charles also made sure that the picture that was sent to sebastien was sent as a view once picture to
Chapter 40:weakling Meanwhile, Isabelle when Isabelle got home she was surprised to find the house empty so she just used her spare key to open the door then she just laid down on the chair to relax. She was so exhausted from the events of the previous night and she didn't even sleep well because she kept on tossing and turning on the bed. She closed her eyes for a few minutes and she started drifting into sleep.BANG!She was interrupted by the door that was suddenly flung open so aggressively. She had to sit upright because she was very startled. Only for her to check the doorway and see that it was her mother.“Welcome back mum” Isabelle greeted her mother and attempted to stand up to carry the bag from her mother but was taken aback by her mother's reaction. Her mother stepped back and stretched out her hand to stop Isabelle from coming closer, “don't come any closer! You have disappointed me” Isabelle was confused, she didn't know what her mother was talking about. “mum wha
Meanwhile,At master Wilson's mansion, Miranda, Tony and Roland were all seated round the small wooden table that was placed there. They were thinking about all the things Isabelle had now.Isabelle even got her position in the family's company again! In addition to the mansion at Biltwave estate, Jessica Wright's limited edition jewelry and many other things that some guests left.“Grandfather, at this point I don't think it is fair on us. How could Isabelle have so much riches and then we are left with not much of it?! I think it's only best if we find a way of taking some of the goodies!” Miranda complained bitterly, she hated seeing Isabelle better off than herself. Master Wilson just sat quietly, it was true they had run out of funds and had no idea of which company will be able to support them and Isabelle had refused to give them some of her gifts.“I agree grandfather, why don't we resort to taking it by force. Then she wouldn't have any choice!” Roland said, smiling as that
Chapter 42Isabelle got more queries from her parents when her father returned. And all pointed at how disappointed they were in her and how she had managed to scare a future suitor and great business partners away.They even went as far as suggesting that she goes to them and apologise or report herself to the police before they do it themselves. Isabelle tried as much as possible to explain that she is the victim in this situation and that she was assaulted. But what Charles had already told her parents was a different thing, according to them, Charles said he saw her walking on the road and then she was about to be attacked by some thugs but he was quick to save her but because of her hatred for Charles she struggled and ended up stabbing his arm. Isabelle did not have any proof to defend herself but Charles had a point because everybody knew how much Isabelle despised Charles. So hearing him say that they immediately believed and Charles was in no way a rapist!Well, at least fr
Just at that moment, Adeline's phone rang and she looked at the caller Identification and saw that it was Patrick Lawrence calling. She was surprised and scared when she saw the person calling, Patrick is Charles’ uncle and he is in the army so she was scared that he was calling to harass them.She paced round the room, panicking with fear of the unknown. “See, it's Patrick calling now! He must have heard about what happened to his nephew and Patrick is a no nonsense person! We are in so much trouble and it's all because of you Isabelle!” Adeline said, her voice shaking in fear.Sebastien just smiled. Because he knew the reason Patrick was calling was to apologize to them but he wasn't going to say anything, he'll just sit back and enjoy the show.The call ended then the phone rang again and this time around, Adeline picked it with shaky hands, “h-hello” she said then sighed and closed her eyes to brace herself for the impact of his words. “Hello! Hello! Can you hear me?” Patrick sai
Chapter 44Miranda turned to stare at Sebastien and Miranda who stepped forward with her. She was surprised, what was Sebastien trying to do!Master Wilson also stared at them in a surprised manner. “What is going on here? Was this a joint effort? If so, I'm so proud of you all!”“No, no, no, it is in no way joint effort!” Miranda was quick to decline it. The investment deal was gotten solely by her and Roland. There was no way she was going to allow Sebastien and Isabelle to share in their glory. Miranda turned to look at Sebastien “what do you mean by that?! This was solely gotten by Roland and I” Miranda raised up the letter of investment. “See I even have tangible proof!” Sebastien who knew the letter was fake just smiled within himself. Miranda was about to disgrace herself in front of the whole family. Master Wilson took the letter from Miranda and took a look at it, “This seems authentic though. Then if it wasn't a joint plan by you and Sebastien then who has the authentic
Master Wilson, after looking at the email on Miranda's phone, turned to look at Sebastien and said, “so, where is your own proof?”Miranda smiled because she knew that it is very impossible for Sebastien to have reasonable proof. Roland, whose heart was still racing, just stood beside Miranda and hoped nothing went wrong because he doesn't like being embarrassed. Sebastien took a few steps forward and stood not so far from where master Wilson stood, still holding Roland's proof in his arms. “Do you really believe that?! Sorry to say master Wilson but if you do, I'm afraid, you must be really gullible” Sebastien said without a care in the world. His words caused people to gasp. That was their reaction because it is rare for someone noble to speak to Master Wilson like this not to talk of a retard. Miranda's eyes widened in shock and she raised her hand to slap Sebastien, “How dare you speak to my grandfather that way” Sebastien gripped her hand firmly before she could even touch hi
Chapter 46Charles was nursing his injury. The last few weeks had been filled with embarrassing moments for him. First he was beaten up by Sebastien then he was made to apologize to Isabelleand her family members over the phone and he still had to apologize physically. His family's company has been running at a loss for a month now and there isn't much he could do about that. And to say his family is disappointed in him is an understatement because they expected him to be able to run the company successfully but see where they are at now.Charles was really scared of Sebastien now and vowed never to cross paths with him or do anything that will make him angry. He truly believed now that Sebastien wasn't someone to joke with.His parents were also ashamed because imagine the son of such a prestigious family being beaten up like that and dragged in the mud. It was a shame!Charles didn't want to apologize initially but after being threatened by his parents that they'll disown him if he
