Stacy's jaw is on the ground. She has known Gray, as her cousin's husband, but she has never really had a thought behind that. During the wedding, though, she was a little bit down because for a slight moment, she felt like a failure because her cousin found love and she hadn't. Regardless, she was happy for her cousin. Fast forwarding now to the present day, that man she felt made her cousin so lucky, that man is asking her to marry him. Gray is handsome, very handsome to see. Stacy is very beautiful too. She has these almond shaped eyes that seem to be thinking all the time. Because of the failure that her family suffered, she now suffers from low self esteem. She doesn't think that Gray should be with someone as wretched as she is. “You should be with someone like me,” Stacy shakes her head with tears in her eyes. “I can't do anything for you. I have bad luck, my whole family died. I'm in a bad place right now.” “I'm in a bad place too,” Gray tells her in a calm voice. “But i
Wendy, seeing that her brother has pulled a fast one on Gray, starts to laugh with him. “Oh, there is no way that he will be able to afford that. Look at his shoes, they are so cheap but he can't even replace them!” Wendy laughs. “How can I be able to afford a bride price of such an amount?” Stacy sighs and drops her head into her hands. Her eyes are quickly filled with tears, but she brushes it away. What was she even thinking in the first place? That the Blanchards are going to allow her to go just like that? “You know what, Gray? Just forget about it. It's not worth it.” She exhales. “Dan is asking you for twenty million as bride price, but I owe them ten million. I am not worth the trouble, thank you for trying to help me.” Wendy chuckles when she sees the pain in her cousin's eyes. She loves every bit of it. “Look at you, such a sad girl! Go and clean my Gucci shoes, I have a party to attend!” Gray looks up with a look of new hope in his eyes. He looks at Stacy and he kno
The truth is that Gray would have gotten that money by just the snap of his fingers, but Dan Blanchard dared him to get a loan without the help of the Gray corporation, so that's what he is going to do. So, just like that, he goes to the silver line bank in the heart of the city. He didn't choose any random bank, no, he chose a small bank that is affiliated to the Gray corporation. This bank was the one he helped two years ago. This is a bank that belongs to an acquaintance of Mister Jones, called Aaron Spears. Aaron was a young man, struggling to start his small bank, but he keeps getting cheated by huge men and he starts to fall into depression. Jones asked if Gray would be kind enough to open an account with the company. Just one account with the company and that causes their shares to skyrocket! It generates so much traffic and makes Aaron his first hundred million! Silver line bank is now one of the best banks in the area, all thanks to Gray Lance, so he chooses to go to t
The manager sees that Gray is not pleased with what he has said, he laughs shortly and leans forward with a cheeky smile. “Let me be real with you, Mister Lance. Nothing is free, not even a loan. You are supposed to think of this as a favour, because you don't tick all the criteria on the list.” “What is the criterion that I haven't fulfilled? Tell me!” Gray asks with annoyance. “I already told you that I have an account here.” “Come on my friend. What's the use of checking the account? I know that it's less than a hundred dollars,” the man snickers. The man smiles, thinking that he is the smartest person in the world. “Don't teach me how to do my job, Mister. You look like a good man, I want to make things easy for you.” He says. “That's the way that this will go. I will approve the loan immediately, but I have a fee and that's one million dollars.” Gray grunts and looks away. This has got to be the most stupid thing that he has heard in a long time. “Why would I give you one
The secretary's heart is in her mouth, did this man just casually speak to the big boss with her phone that he borrowed? Gray is sitting so casually, he doesn't seem to have a brother in the world. The guards are outside the door, so that Gray won't leave and she rushes to find the manager. “Sir! Sir!” She looks around for her boss. She sees him coming out, he still has blood coming out of his ear, he is fuming. He can't believe that the poor man embarrassed him by putting his hands on him. “Don't tell me that you allowed that man to escape!” He warns her. “No, sir, he is still in the office,” she tells him. “Good.” The manager nods with satisfaction. “The police are going to teach him a very bitter lesson. I will lock him up for years!” The secretary is confused. She thinks that the man that her boss is trying to arrest, just called the big boss. She thinks that she should tell him. “Sir, I think you should take that man's id and confirm who he is. I might be wrong, but I
It's a sight to see to all of these people! Their boss, Aaron Spears is bowing down to this man! Mister Gilbert thinks that his cousin has made a big mistake. What's so special about this man, he is surely not the richest man in the country! “Cousin, what are you doing? This man is a criminal, he assaulted me and caused me to bleed, I have called the police to take him away.” Gray still hasn't break into sweat at all. Not when he knows that Gilbert Spears is nothing more than a liar. Aaron Spears immediately stands uo to his feet angrily and turns to his cousin. “How dare you put the richest man in the city in this office? Don't you know that it's not up to his great standard? Take him to my office immediately!” Gilbert is dumbfounded by this. He sees the smile on Gray's face and he then feels a sink in his chest. Maybe, maybe he is in some kind of trouble. “Right away, sir.” He stands up and gives way. Aaron asks Gray and please come with him to his more luxurious offi
The cameras? Oh, Mister Gilbert knows that he is going to be completely finished if his boss decides to check the cameras. Cameras that he had no idea existed in the first place…“Please, sir, I will tell you the truth.” He begs, rolling on the ground in an exaggerated manner. “It wasn't me, sir, it was the devil. The devil asked me to do it! Please, forgive me sir! I will never do anything to hurt my cousin!” Aaron Spears is more than furious at this point. After everything he did for his stupid cousin, this man decided to reward him with such evil? “Gilbert, you should be a big idiot if you think I am ever going to trust you again!” He blasts him. “Not only did you steal from me, you embarrassed me in front of the richest man in the city!” Gilbert face is covered with tears of regret. Maybe if he didn't ask this particular man for a bribe, maybe he won't be into this pit of trouble. How was he supposed to know that the simply dressed man is the richest in the world? Oh, and his
Wendy and Dan are having a time of their lives in their house. They have been served cold drinks and they are eating some fruits as they watch the television. Dan's wife, comes out of the kitchen with a huge plate of garnished chicken. She hates being a servant to her husband and his sister, but she desperately wants to be liked by Wendy. She puts a huge, animate smile on her face as she walks into the living room. “Here, sister-in-law, I made the chicken exactly how you like it.” She drops it gently. “My husband, do you want more water?” “Get out of my sight, Elizabeth!” Dan shouts at her. “Can't you see that my sister and I are having a family time? How dare you interrupt?!” Elizabeth runs away with tears in her eyes. Dan cheats on her, beats her, is mean to her, but she has to endure it all. Wendy is going to be married to a very rich man very soon and the whole family will be wallowing in money. She will be a fool to leave her husband because of a little bullying. Dan and
