“Good. Now have the maids prepare something for her” Harrison said in an authoritative voice that even Rachel had to stay still for a while and looked behind to check whether he was talking to her or not. Sadly, he was talking to her.She felt tied to a nut. Her eyes turned red like she could skin him alive, but there was nothing she could do. Rather, she yelled at the maids who were standing in waiting.“You heard him, didn’t you? Go cook something real quick” she yelled at the maid making them run in their shoes towards the kitchen.If not that it was a direct order from her, none of them would have moved an inch from where they were. Harrison knew that, so he didn’t even try to approach them first.“Wife, come and sit here,” Harrison said after watching the whole thing play out just the way he wanted. Then he directed Caroline towards the couch to sit.Though she was quite unsettled due to the heated eyes on her, Harrison was giving her the strength she wanted. She never expected h
Back inside the mansion, Caroline was still struggling to gulp down the food she was hurriedly eating since she was left alone in the middle of hot stares at her body.Rachel, who saw Harrison leaving, couldn’t help but approach Caroline with disgust carved on her face. She needed to put Caroline back in her place and warn her about what she had done.“Enjoying the food, huh? I’ll see if you’ll do any good in Sterling Corporation tomorrow” she teased, but anger was evident in her voice.“I… I’ll try my best Mom, Caroline replied nervously. Then she choked up on a chunk of meat she wanted to gulp down and quickly reached for a cup of water to get it down, but Rachel grabbed the cup before her.“You don't deserve to use this cup!” She sneered.“Please… Mom… I need water please” Caroline begged. Her eyes had turned red. She needed water to force the lump down her throat but Rachel didn’t look like she would let her have it.“Please? Why don't you use wine instead?” Rachel said with a cha
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!”
