“Please spare us. We will never do such a thing ever again.” The receptionist said quickly after seeing the terrifying sight. She knew eventually she would be next. Going through such would be a traumatic experience and from the way the guard was screaming, she could tell.“What did you say? I should spare you?” Lucas grinned and shot the guard who was kneeling right in the head. The others were startled by this and wanted to run, but he shot them too, leaving just the receptionist.Anyone who dared to trouble Harrison should be dealt with in the worst way ever. Lucas had sworn to take that task upon himself, and right now, he was carrying it out.Watching all this, The receptionist lost her voice. She didn't know if she was to shout or keep quiet and watch them. Already she knew none of that option was going to save her. After all, she was the one who took the lead when face-slapping Harrison.The whole place was covered with blood, and hers was next. “Now tell me, do you have any l
Rachel couldn't believe her ears. It felt like her senses were playing tricks on her. Whose voice was that? She thought to herself, staring in shock as though her eyes had lost their lights.Her body began to tremble, and the phone slipped down to the floor. Seeing this, Stephen suspected something might have happened so he came at her.“Mom, what's wrong?” He asked, but she was too lost to reply. After a while of staring blankly at the wider space, she spoke nervously.“Get the car now! We are going to the White House!” She yelled. From how terrifying her actions were, Stephen was alerted that there was trouble. He ran into the house and brought back the car key, showing it off to her eyes, and then she followed him outside. They hurriedly hopped into the car and left.____Inside the white hall, Harrison was standing before their grandmother with his wife. He was still holding her phone, which he used to call his mother-in-law. The kind of audacity and tone he used made Grandmothe
“What nonsense are you saying?” Rachel found her courage back as she started walking forward. “Is this how you want to frame me for something I didn't do?” She fumed.“And you,” She pointed at Caroline. “You ungrateful child. Should you put your sins on my head? Do I look like someone who can sell my family off?” She thundered.“What the heck are you saying, Mom? Weren't you the one who invited me into a hotel and sold me off to Micheal Du?” Caroline countered her. “Are you going to accuse me again? One more word from you and you'll receive five of my fingers to that filthy face of yours?” Rachel kept grumbling, but all along she was avoiding Harrison's gaze. She didn't care what he thought. After all, Grandmother was the one who had the final say here.“Don't…” Caroline wanted to continue, but Harrison tugged her arm again and she kept quiet.“Rachel, are you telling me all the accusations are false?” Grandmother called out to her.“Yes, mother!” Rachel replied firmly.“Grandmother
Everyone looked at each other, flaring into a chuckle. The joke was just too funny to their ears. After saying he was going to seize their company now he was calling Ramon? Even Grandmother was in no position to call out that name.Ramon was someone famous and could not be seen in random places. Although there were coincidences, they could swear someone like him would never show up if Harrison called him. Harrison was like the worst person on earth, and even a dog should have more worth than him.They kept laughing while cursing at him too when the door was flung open, and they could hear footsteps approaching them. Everyone turned only to find a man with an imposing aura walking towards them.At first, his face wasn't clear as the brightness from the entrance almost blinded their eyes. After the door was shut, their mouth nearly fell to the floor.“Ramon?” It was Grandmother who called out, almost stumbling out of her seat with eyes almost bulging out from their sockets.“What is he
“My child, you can't do this to us. Remember you are from this family. My husband took you in, clothed you, and gave you his daughter. Please rethink this.” Grandmother begged, rubbing her both arms together.“Please Harrison, we can all go back to how we were before. One happy family. Please don't do this to us.” Rachel begged. She never thought this day would come when she would grovel on Harrison's feet. Never! Until now, it still felt like after all this was over she would wake up from sleep.“Go back to how we were? Tell me how were we before? Did you even look at me as one of you before?” Harrison picked offense.“Caroline, please talk to your husband. You can't let him do this to us, right?” Rachel pleaded again.Harrison's heart skipped a beat as he thought his wife could have a soft spot for them. Since she was his wife, he respected her more than anything. If she were to plead on their behalf, Harrison feared he might be pushed to do what he didn't want to.“I should talk t
Grandmother sustained so many bruises on her body after rolling on her floor. Her delicate white skin was now stained with dust from the street, while some parts were showing signs of lumps.Her hair was rumpled and had some particles on it. She tried getting up at first, but each step was too heavy for her to do on her own.Seeing this, Rachel wanted to aid her, but the woman pushed her off, having a disgusted expression on her face.“You brought this upon us. If not for you, none of this could have happened. Now I have lost my house, the company, and everything!” She grumbled.“Gra…”“Shut it! Don't you dare say any more words or else I'll make your life miserable?” Grandmother cut her off with a hand pointed at her face.Gulping down hard, Rachel could only pave the way for her to walk off. People were watching and taking pictures, but none of it mattered. Their house was gone. Everything was gone and now for the first time in their life, they were walking on foot down the street.
Linda broke in sweat as she stood close to Grandmother. In such a state, it was harder than she thought. Her head was still banging on the inside, and she was yet to know what the old woman had on her mind.“Where were you planning to go? Follow him? You want to go and enjoy riches and leave us down here?” Grandmother snapped, advancing towards her until she was cornered to the wall.“I didn't mean to…”“You didn't mean to what? I saw you, didn't I? Or are you trying to deny it?” Grandmother cut her off.“Mom, you don't have to be so hard on her like that.” Rachel walked towards them. She couldn't ignore the situation, and the fact that they lost a deal with Edward was still hurting her. All the plans she had now would be led to waste. Her family would be a ruin now.“And who gave you the right to speak to me like that? Is it because I wasn't harsh on you at first? Just wait for it, I am coming for you too.” She snapped, and Rachel quickly tucked her head back in.“I am sorry, grandmo
Harrison gave Ramon a surprised look, and the latter could only smile. None of them expected Caroline would give in after hearing such words from him, it seemed those were the magic words that could have worked wonderfully, but his head hadn’t come up with it yet.Sighing, he followed her, and so did Ramon. They walked into the house and everyone who was waiting could finally welcome them.“Welcome home, young master. Welcome home, young mistress.” They chanted together, bowing their heads down. Hearing this, Caroline nearly turned red. She was always exposed to mockery and was never taken as anyone of high standard ever in her life, but today was different. Not only was her husband one of the richest men in the world but she was also entitled to such respect being offered to him.It was still like a dream she should wake up from, but then it was reality. Who could have thought the house that left her jaws falling was her husband's own? Shocking right? Now she could have the full tim
