Harrison stood smiling as he watched them, eagerly waiting for what was going to play out. He knew Linda wouldn’t dare to try such when she knew who he was. She kept looking at him and then back to Rachel, not knowing what to do. If she calls the cops on Harrison, then it would end up terrible for her, but also if she tells Rachel then she might face equal wrath.But then she figured Harrison’s punishment would be worse so she thought of deluding instead.“Mom, with what happened before, are you sure you want to drag the cops into this? If grandmother hears this again she would be more than pissed” Linda was careful as she spoke to not anger both parties. Lucky for her, she was able to address the matter soothingly.However, Rachel, who heard this, could only gulp down. Truth be told that had skipped her mind, but Linda reminded her. If she had acted how she sees fit, then grandmother's wrath would befall on her.“I see you guys don’t have anything to say. If you will excuse me, I’ll
“What the fuck are you doing dressed like that?” Harrison was dumbstruck. He knew Larry to be someone pompous. He always sees the poor as filth, yet he was the same person who was on the street trying to rob a poor man.“You stole my life, you shit. Who could have thought you were some big shot? You took everything from us and even sent us to the street” Larry sneered. Out of anger, he pointed the gun appropriately at Harrison intending to kill him. How hard he suffered all those while, he wanted to vanquish all those hatreds now.He was shot under Harrison's orders, and the latter even had the guts to call off the partnership they had with Sterling Corporation, making their company’s value and profit subside. His dad even resulted in using his shareholder to get some cash, yet Harrison spoiled everything.It had been Harrison ever since that day. It even felt like Harrison would hunt him his entire life after he saw him here again today.“You two know each other?” The old man was awe
“Yes sir. Here is a prepared strategy about what the Samson family is going to offer if we are given a chance to partner with sterling cooperation” Caroline nervously spoke, but then she knew she had to be strong to explain everything in detail, so she could win his favor.Somehow, Ramon didn’t seem cold or harsh at her. He even had a smile as she was explaining, which seemed very shocking to her. Honestly, she had thought he would send her off since that was what her stepbrother and sister said happened to them.Looking at the paper in her hand, Ramon didn’t think she needed to prepare one since she was quite audible and courageous as she spoke. He had suspected her plan would be good already and wanted to just go ahead and accept her.But then he remembered how Harrison had warned him not to make anything simple or else she wouldn’t feel like she got it. It might either look suspicious to her or maybe she might think Ramon had ulterior motives.“Just go ahead and tell me what you ha
Walking out of Sterling Corporation, a broad smile was itched around Caroline's face. She looked around the place, hoping to find Harrison waiting for her, but he wasn’t.The place was crowded with people and cabs. After searching she still couldn’t find him.“Wife? You are out already?” Harrison spoke. She was looking the other way when he came from behind her.“Where have you been? I have waited for a long time " She frowned.“I am sorry, wife. I only went to help someone across the road” he said, but was also intending not to tell her everything. If she knew he was involved with Larry, she would be worried again. He didn’t want that, so he thought of lying if she asked further questions.“Went to help someone?” She repeated.“Yes. By the way, what news do you have? Were you accepted?” Harrison asked, pretending not to know what the outcome would be. But then her expression turned sour, signifying there was bad news.“No. I don’t have any good news” she said, frowning, intending to
“Are you going to talk to me in that manner, or you are going to give me a straight answer!” Rachel snapped. There can be no way Caroline could have gotten that partnership right? If so, Harrison would soar higher after getting his hands on that fifty percent profit share. Then that would be her worst nightmare.“I don’t see what’s hard here to understand. I said we had gotten the contract. Caroline did well, and now we have won their favor. Samson's family has now partnered with Sterling Corporation” Harrison said once again.“What? Did you get the contract?” Stephen asked, looking at Caroline to get a confirmation and when she nodded, he felt like slumping to the floor. “This can’t be real, right?” He gasped in shock.“It is, except you are finding it hard to believe? Why don’t you check their Instagram page to confirm? I am sure they must have posted it there” Harrison smirked.Quickly, Stephen pulled out his phone and started surfing the internet. He wanted to see if there was any
“Mother, what do we do? You saw the look in his eyes, right? Harrison is going to be rich and when that happens? He will be on par with us. I am sure you wouldn’t want that” Stephen complained.“I know, and that’s why I have to think of something. I can’t allow Harrison to leave poverty. He deserves to be in it for the rest of his life” Rachel said expressionlessly and Stephen couldn’t help but smile.For the fact that she said she had a plan, he couldn’t help but agree with her. After all, both of them had mutual interests.Ring! Ring!Grandmother was in the line again and quickly Rachel picked up.“Hello Grandmother,” Rachel said quickly.“Rachel, I am hosting a party in the White House to celebrate the good news. Make sure to bring along Harrison and his wife as I will grant them what I have promised” Grandmother said again.“What you promised? But…” Rachel stammered, not knowing if it was advisable to bring up the topic over the phone.“What are you talking about? Speak up once!”
“Do you have to be a prick in times like this? It’s my phone so why can’t I get it back” Harrison shot him a glare.“This is my house and I make the rules. I am entitled to know who you call within this building. Now tell me who you called before I go physical with you!” Stephen sparked. His eyes burned in hatred as he spoke. Though he seemed to be holding something in the leather bag but dropped it by the side to wreck Harrison up.Even though Rachel had warned him not to beat up Harrison yet, Stephen felt he needed to, so Harrison would realize where he should be.“You want to punch me?” Harrison asked with a taunting smile on his lips, knowing there was no way Stephen could win a fight against him. It could take five or six men to bring Harrison down, yet Stephen was getting high on himself, thinking he alone could handle the job.“You think I can’t?” Stephen fumed in anger.“I dare you!” Harrison smiled while pointing his eyes directly at his.“You punk!” Stephen sent a punch at H
“What are you saying, mom? Do you want me to divorce my husband? For what reason?” Caroline gasped in shock, staring widely at Rachel.“Yes! You will soon be rich, and I don’t see a reason to keep that dunce who can’t afford a shoe for you as a husband” Rachel defended her point.“Then I will prefer to be married to that dunce than even think of divorcing him. I love Harrison so much, and I wouldn’t dare to take back the vow I took that day” Caroline was disgusted by such words she was hearing from her mom.Was that the reason Rachel had changed so drastically? Was that the reason that made her have a smile on her face rather than disgust? If so, Caroline preferred to see her frown.“What are you saying? You would prefer to be with someone who brings nothing but bad luck to you?” Rachel was flabbergasted by her reply and was now losing her patience.“He doesn't bring bad luck to you, it’s just that you guys hate him too much to help. He had done nothing wrong. He is your son-in-law but
