Marcus was surprised when he heard Pearl's name. He wondered what she could have done this time around if she wanted to mess with someone, not Benjamin just because he allowed her dream high to sign her. She must be over the cloud now, thinking she is on top of the world.Marcus is angry. Pearl must have done something to Benjamin, he says.“What happened to Pearl? What did she do?”Benjamin shakes his head.“No, no.. she didn't do anything; actually, she told me something, and I am scared.”Marcus was becoming curious at that moment. If Pearl didn't do anything, why is Benjamin this scared?“Benjamin, calm down. Talk to me about what happened. Let's find a solution to your problem together.”Benjamin uttered with a low voice.“I got a call from Pearl this morning informing me of her mother's birthday party coming up tomorrow. I thought she was only inviting me to the birthday party, which I would have refused, but what she told me next shocked me.”Marcus was carefully listening to
Samuel raised his head immediately when he heard his father's words: If it's to meet that bastard again, he's not getting close to that bastard again.He managed to nod, wanting to hear what his father had to tell him.Samuel's father gazes at him.“Something about your attitude amazes me. I'm trying my possible best to make sure you end up with Hazel, yet you feel unconcerned when it's for your benefit. You better sit up and be serious for once, or else I will make some decisions you will not like.”Samuel immediately positions himself properly, knowing what his father can do. He's so serious about making sure Hazel gets into the family. If not, he wouldn't have taken the attitude she showed some days ago, but his father is threatening him, which is not good.With a calm voice, he utters.“Father, I'm sorry I was sick. That is why I have been indoors. Please don't take it to heart; I'm ready to get plans in motion now.”Samuel's father gazes at him; he isn't smiling, then he nods.
Gregory still wasn't smiling; he just wants to get everything done as soon as possible, knowing some other families will soon be looking hazel, and he doesn't want any of that.he utters.“Any place of your choice.”Gregory responded.Wesley gazes up, looking around with a confused look on his face. He's trying to remember the perfect place to set up the meeting where nobody will think he's going to meet someone this time around. He wants to hide all his tracks.His eyes opened immediately.I finally thought of something.“Okay, let's meet at VZ Cinema. Book the special room cinema and text me the number. I will come meet him there.”Gregory's wasn't still happy, he utters.“No problem, my son will send the details to you soon.”Wesley's cheeks were raised.“No problem, I will meet him tomorrow. Have a nice day, sir.”Wesley ended the call with his cheeks almost covering his face. He walked closer to the window and opened it. He took in a deep breath of fresh air, raised his hands,
Hazel tried her best to speak to Marcus, but he didn't listen to her; instead, he walked out of the room.Hazel covers her face with her hands and shakes her head in disappointment. She never for once, imagined she would forgive Wesley, but sometimes things are beyond her control.Tomorrow is another day, and Marcus will calm down before then.It was the next day, Marcus still hadn't said anything to Hazel; he's still mad at her.Hazel knew about it, and she decided to leave for work quietly. When she comes back, she will beg for forgiveness.Marcus is finally done with everything he has to do today, and it's time to call Pearl. He needs to ask her a few things about her mother. He wants to know what she likes.Marcus called Pearl, and his phone was answered.“Hello Pearl”Pearl's eyes widened, and she stood up from her chair immediately. She recognized Marcus's voice, and her voice started quivering. She couldn't believe Big Brother Marcus was calling her immediately.“Brother… Mar
Marcus started walking inside, and Benjamin followed him from behind. Both of them walked into the store.Benjamin's eyes gaze around as he steps into Diamond Empire; a wave of shame washes over him, and his shoulders dropped eyes gaze around. Benjamin's body language betrayed his discomfort, while his face flushed with embarrassment. Everyone looks well-dressed, and they all look rich compared to him and his dress.He's like a house helper; he felt like an outsider.Marcus was surprised not to see any security guards at the gate, and knowing of their attendance, they seemed to be professional, not like the other stores he had been visiting, including his own companies.Marcus and Benjamin looked around for a while before they saw a diamond necklace locked in the glass cabinet.The red diamond necklace was sparkling in Marcus's eyes; it was very elegant and exquisite, a perfect present for a birthday. He knows no one will be able to beat this gift.He peeked at the price tag. 2 mil
Marcus's eyebrows raised. he doesn't need to turn to see who it was from his voice; he knows it's Rob the backstabber, a fake friend.Benjamin quickly turned around, and his eyes caught Rob. He doesn't know what he's doing here, but from the look of things and how he's dressed, he seems like someone who is working here. Benjamin looks relieved; he's going to help them out of the situation they find themselves in.He worked closer to Rob and smiled immediately as he spoke.“I know that was your voice, Rob; it seems you're working here.”Rob's gaze is pushed down, and he shakes his head in disappointment. He wasn't expecting to see Benjamin with the bastard. A perfect opportunity is right in front of him to deal with the bastard, but Benjamin decides to show his face.He said it with a bitter voice.“Yes, I work here.”He raised his shoulders a little.“I'm the department manager.”Benjamin nods. He's relieved to see Rob here, and he's the department manager. No wonder Marcus brough
Rob stares at Marcus from head to toe; he doesn't like someone who is afraid, but instead, he is staring at him with dead eyes.Rob smiled that his tricks will not work today.“loser, you know you can't afford the cheapest necklace in this shop; something must be wrong with your eyes if you can't tell the difference between a professional store and a roadside store.Marcus couldn't stand Rob accusing him wrongly; he even has the guts to insult Benjamin. He never wants to always show himself everywhere he goes, but Rob has done enough; he must be dealt with.Marcus' forehead grew deeper. “How do you know I can't afford it? Which pair of eyes did you use to judge me? Don't worry, soon that mouth of yours will be open and words will refuse to come out soon. You will beg for mercy, but it will be too late by then. you will shed dry tears soon”Benjamin's legs vibrated when he heard what Marcus just said. Why is he trying to provoke Rob even more when he clearly knows they cannot afford an
Marcus' call was answered immediately.Marcus went straight to the point.“Why is he not here yet?”Rachel's legs vibrated; she couldn't believe Vincent wasn't there already.“Young Master, I'm sorry for the delay; I'm sure, he will soon be there in two minutes, just two minutes.”“It better be.”Marcus said it with an angry voice before ending the call.Rachel's eyes widen. She personally told Mr Juan someone so important would be visiting Diamond Empire today, and he personally assured her he would be there himself, but he's nowhere to be found. she's going to kill him if the young master sacked her for failing him; he will not forgive the whole family. She prayed Juan would get there in two minutes; if not, the young master will discipline her, and she might lose her job.The corner of Rob's lips twitched as he teased out“Wow, you're so indulgent in your acting; I'm impressed. Now you've just exposed yourself further; now you've called your criminal friends to come help you out.”
