Chapter 9- Dealing with people
Vooom!!!!Screech!!!!!The sound was so ear piercing that many people winced.Few bodyguards arrived to question her but the moment they laid their eyes on her cold and piercing eyes, they shivered unconsciously and made way for her."How dare you? Who are you? Guards arrest her" a young handsome man stood up while pointing at her.The guards did not dare step forward, after all she was their Boss.The old woman behind the boy shivered the moment she met those eyes.She finally came to realize. She wanted to stop her grandson but her grandson had been pampered by her and his mother that she herself couldn't control him ."Son, She is your sister" What followed next was Zephyra's cold words."I have no family. Am sure it was made clear when I was sent out of the family. I don't know why you are here or why you are lusting after my company but right now I need you outta my sight.""You!.. how dare you talk to your grandmother like that" the young man spoke without reservation from the media."Coming from an uncouth mouth. I don't have to say it twice and don't make me do it."The woman who had been silent since quietly stared at her daughter. To be correct, the daughter she had abandoned."Let's go" the woman left first followed by the grandmother and the uncouth young man.Zephyra did not give them a second glance as she walked towards the microphone."I'd like to share a message with the media. Feel free to publish it as you see fit, with the request to maintain the accuracy of the story."Zephyra turned to her assistant, follow me.……………At the venue………"What just happened?" A news reporter asked."I thought they said she was among those taken away by that bright white light?""If she was she wouldn't be here. Then the rumor must be a lie.""How couldn't it be when her assistant was the one who announced it. He must have kidnapped her and the white light stuff happened and he finally found an excuse to kill her.""But what about her family? She mentioned not being among them again""Aiya… You must not have gone to Country A, so you might not be aware.They disowned their daughter who was just 10 years old. The news made waves when it was published.""What happened?" The news reporters quickly gathered around the man."I was an intern working for Jing'an provincial station and as part of my job, I was sourcing news with my superior when a paparazzi met us to publish the news of the Couple fooling around with their various toys though they had a child together.My superior and I quickly dug into it and found out that it was just a contract marriage where they both married to have a child who inherited both genes.The child was abandoned by them and was trained by both grandparents.They had even announced to the world that she was their heir when suddenly, they said she wasn't anymore.While we were about to publish the news, they had found out and put pressure on our station though my superior found their behavior disgusting and continued digging.That's when I found out that they had removed her from the family tree, she wasn't part of them anymore.Sigh… am thirsty""Hehe, brother one moment" a quick witted reporter quickly left to get water."Hehe, brother you have done well." Another reported praise followed."Well, my superior published the news and you can guess what happened, she was fired. My superior treated me so well and took care of me so I quit along with her.One day while I and my superior were catching up in Country M, we met her there and she had become a student supporting and taking care of herself. My superior was always news hunting, so she got close to her and found out that the young lady was the one who sent herself to country M and even then she was working to support herself.You could imagine that. A pity, some families do not treasure what is supposed to be treasured.""What you said is true brother.""Boss, I need to pee. Will continue later""Brother, I need to go. "Various excuses came flying . Within a few minutes the venue was empty leaving the venue empty."Aish… I haven't even reported this to my superior. I messed up, I should have sent it to my boss first to send out the news." The reporter stomped his feet in anger and regret.………………..In the car which had the Evercrest family.The young man who had shouted at Zephyra before looked at the woman beside him and could not help but speak with a grumpy tone."Mum, why did we leave? I was so close to getting the company.""What company?" The mother's eyes were cold as she stared at her son.She suddenly felt a tap on her arm."Don't look at my grandson like that. We are already in this situation and instead of looking for a solution. You're shouting at him.""You! You keep spoiling him like this that he became so useless. Look at his sister, isn't she the owner of the company he wants to snatch. He couldn't even handle the simple business they gave him and look at where it brought us.""You talk as if you weren't the one who abandoned her back then while I trained her.""Grandma, since you trained her, doesn't she have to be filial to you. You can ask her to show filial piety by giving us company.""Dream on! Would you give your hard work and sweat to someone who didn't even treat you well if it were you?Mum, if you hadn't forced me into that marriage then, wouldn't I still be a princess and not have to worry about spending too much money.""Hehe, if you had gotten well with your first husband and given love to the child. Wouldn't you be what you want to be? Don't try shifting the blame. You only knew how to be a whore by opening your legs wide for boy toys""You" Elena was red in shame as she pointed at her mother.The young man stared at his mother with disdain and disgust."Disgusting " he muttered under his breath causing Elena to redden more with shame."How dare you say that to your mother" Elena faced Eren who had called her disgusting."You call yourself a mother when you call me useless and shout at me. You also abandoned your first fruit without batting an eyelid and expect to call yourself a mother. Your just a person who gives birth." Eren opened the car door and left not looking at them again."See what you made him say." Elena turned to her mother."Would you keep quiet" as if I abandoned you when I had you with your dad."It's because you love dad."Aisha spat at those words. "Your father raped me and that's why I married him. Who would marry someone like him who can't even last for long. I never enjoyed my sex life but I never looked outside but what about you. You jumped from one bed to another."Aisha's words were like thunder to Elena's ears.All she could hear was that she was born out of rape.Chapter 10- RealizationAll she could hear was that she was born out of rape."Ah!!!, How could that be.?!" She asked with a mixture of confusion and hope. Hope that what her mother had said was wrong."How couldn't it be? You father was a dandy young master and I was a person he couldn't get, so he decided to have his way and that you are the product of what he has done.He did not want to acknowledge you and I forced him to, before he finally succumbed to the pressure and married me.I couldn't give birth again and to avoid your father from looking outside for a son, I did what I did"Aisha said not looking at her daughter anymore as she entered the hospital.Their family situation had been going down the hill for a while now.Her daughter's second husband had found out about her daughter's past which was about her frolicking with boy toys and all that and couldn't accept it even though she did not cheat in the marriage.He felt like there was a vast green land on his head.Her grand
Chapter 11- Family drama"How can you not know what you have done? Why did you do it? Answer me!" Eren shivered and spoke. "I was venting my anger and I mentioned something about his granddaughter and he started crying, I asked why and, in fact I felt like my hatred and anger were magnified. It felt like my negative emotions were at an all time high. And I did what I did. I didn't mean to"Aisha just stared at him and then at her dead husband who passed away in relief, she wondered if he had also wanted to die, that why he had a look of relief when he left."Go call the doctor" she did not look at her son but sat beside her old man.She arranged his beddings and put back his oxygen mask.A teardrop slid down her face landing on his face."We are failures as parents, grandparents and also in our career.Am tired. Should I follow you?" The doctor, accompanied by a nurse, entered upon her request, with Elena and Eren following closely behind. Elena bit her lips at her mother's words."
Chapter 12- Decision and plansZephyra's decision was to kill him but she knew she shouldn't go too far to tempt fate.She hadn't yet assimilated with this world and the world would give her ten times whatever punishment that would be given to a normal person.She decided to erase his memories and throw him to a backward place.Zephyra felt that she was too kind. "Am I really afraid of fate?"[ Yes Master, you are. After what you have experienced so far, it would be strange if you aren't.]"Sigh, you have been quiet for a while now."[ Am not a chatterbox]"I didn't say you were. Anyway, do you have any idea on how I should deal with him."[Why not let him work for you?]"Tsk.... That's like keeping a time bomb by my side."[ Anybody you take into the personal space becomes dead loyal to you and you can even kill them and they won't move.It may be hard for a protagonist but since if Bryan had won, he would have completely gotten the halo of a protagonist but he didn't.]A grin appear
Chapter 13- UpgradesBryan, clandestine in his acquisition of the villa, navigated the winding roads to the secluded property, all while harboring the secret from his unsuspecting mother. Gratitude washed over him, knowing that her unawareness spared him from potential consequences.As he pulled up to the grandeur of his newly acquired residence, thoughts swirled in Bryan's mind about orchestrating his mother's departure from the country. The intricate plan loomed ahead, requiring careful execution.Upon entering, Bryan encountered Zephyra, patiently awaiting his arrival. The mere sight of her evoked a flood of emotions, and he couldn't contain the overwhelming urge to cry. Wrapped in a heartfelt embrace, Bryan found solace in releasing the pent-up emotions that had gripped him.After the tears subsided, a wave of realization washed over him. Embarrassment took hold as he acknowledged the unexpected vulnerability he had displayed before Zephyra, his once-disliked boss, now a recipient
Chapter 14- More upgradesShe clicked on the Forge and a building token materialized in her hand. The token had a metallic look with Forge written on it in the form of italics and level one below it."I already have the space, I can stay there to concoct some potion and pills. Let's upgrade some more, but it seems that the core will be hard to get since not every animal has a core."[You're even more of a child than me. Must I remind you of everything.]Zara's voice sounded annoyed.Zephyra was confused, she did not think she had forgotten anything.[Use your talent, dumbass.]"Hey, am your master okay. You get that? Now which talent are we talking about?"[Midas touch]Zephyra chuckled embarrassingly as she recalled the talent."Thank you" she had no excuse to go with, so she could only mutter a thank you.She brought out the things needed for upgrade and used the midas touch on them.For each object she touched, they released a blinding light.As she progressed, she felt more playfu

Chapter 16- Day 2; My ChildZephyra instinctively closed her eyes upon meeting with the sudden rays of sunlight pouring in from the window.She turned to her side, turning away from the incoming rays of light as she allowed her brain to boot before sitting upright in a lotus position.“Zara, did anything happen while I was asleep?” Zephyra said, yawning in-between her words.[Nothing serious. Your subordinates each went to different workshops available to take a look while I also slowed down the process of the puppet expedition.Since the puppets have no consciousness and are only following orders, it took a while to get them to understand what to do.Right now, I had them patrol around the surrounding area, sent some to mine with Zion following them and some guards.I also gave Zane some materials to begin making maps while Thyma would use the materials given to her to make clothes of all kinds.Also, I stopped the puppets from building more constructions, since, you may have the tok
Hey guys 👋🖐️, My editor has yet to review the work as I have corrected the mistakes which should be corrected.I have already reminded him about that and I hope it will be done soon.Don't leave the book just because of the mistakes, you can skip the chapters or ignore the mistakes and leave your review while also sharing it to your friends.Sigh.... I wanted to make this short and brief but since I can't publish it with less than 100 words, I would address other things.You may have noticed the use of AI in some chapters which I had used to do editing and I stopped halfway, cos after reading it, it did not sound like my writing style.It also reduced many words which I had used to express the emotion of the character. And yes, I didn't correct that even after the editing, I just made it try to fit into the story without spoiling the novel.I hope you like it and enjoy the novel. Show me love by sharing to your friends😌 and leaving a review while not forgetting to add to your Libra
