In an instant, tension gripped the room as everyone's faces shifted in reaction to Lady Charlotte's words. Kane's expression turned bitter, a mix of frustration and resignation evident in his features; he couldn't believe the good-for-nothing clown was calling.“Mother, answer the call; let's hear what the useless clown was going to say.”Lady Charlotte was curious at that moment; she didn't know if Penelope had good news for her, and with the way everything was going, it better be good news. Her hope hanging by a thread, she immediately took the call, her heart racing with anticipation. She prayed fervently that Penelope would bring good news and a glimmer of hope in their dire situation; if not, she was going to see the other side of her.“Hello, Penelope”Lady Charlotte spoke, her voice strained with anticipation.“Let me assume you have something good to say.”But Penelope shook her head on the other end of the line. She didn't have what Lady Charlotte was hoping to hear, but ins
Kane's face twisted in a mixture of anger and venom as he spat out his angry words into the phone. His eyes blazed with fury, his eyebrows furrowed in a deep scowl, and his lips curled into a snarl. His voice was laced with bitterness and hatred, sending chills down the spine of Lady Charlotte, who was still shocked at how Kane took the phone from her. The look on his face tells her he was angry, and she understood he should know if she knew what to do to get Wesley out; she would have done it already, but she didn't, and it hurt her to the bone.Kane's voice was filled with bitterness as he spoke.“Listen to me and listen well. You and your useless daughter are going to pay for everything both of you did. You're going to pay.”He growled, his words dripping with malice. “You think I don't know what you're planning? Do you think I don't know what both of you are planning? I know all of it, and you'll pay dearly for it. Just wait for me.”Penelope, however, had reached her breaking p
Lady Charlotte took her time to explain to Kane she knew how stubborn he would be sometimes.But Kane was shocked to the bone. He couldn't believe what her mother just said: Hazel was innocent. How is that even possible when she didn't forgive Wesley and made him go to prison, yet her mother is covering for her just because of Sam's yellow company? He wouldn't ever allow that to happen.Kane said it bitterly.“Mother, Hazel isn't innocent. Do you think she's innocent? She's part of this family because of the Sam Yellow Company contract, but let me say this: When the time is right, she is going to do to us what she did to Wesley, and by that time it will be too late for me. I must take action now before she grows more Wing.”Lady Charlotte responded angrily.“No, Kane, listen to me and listen clearly; don't make the same mistakes Wesley did. Hazel has nothing to do with this; her husband is the one you should be after not Hazel, she is innocent. Let her go, and deal with the rest of th
The color drained from Kane's face as his mother's words crashed into him like a thunderbolt. He blinked his eyes multiple times. Never in his wildest dreams had he thought he would hear his own mother threaten to disown him. He couldn't believe it; the word was still echoing in his ears. How can his mother threaten him all because he insisted on dealing with Hazel, that good-for-nothing girl who has successfully manipulated everyone, including his mother? He couldn't believe how the situation had escalated to the point that she would cut him off from the family. The heir to the family, she wants to cut ties with him. That is not possible. Could it be that he made a mistake and didn't hear her correctly? That must be the case.He turned to look at his mother, his face contorting in disbelief and anger. The steely resolve in Lady Charlotte's eyes confirmed that she meant every word she had just uttered, and it made Kane's entire body vibrate.Beads of sweat formed on Kane's forehead,
It was the next day, Marcus decided to take a break and surprise Hazel with a nice meal since she had been working from home for days now, even though she told her she was supposed to take a break to rest, but she had refused to do so. Seeing her at home, he knows she would be comfortable, and when he feels like she has worked too much, he will step in to stop her like he did yesterday. He's also going to stop her today immediately if he feels she has overworked herself.However, Ivy decided to come with Marcus, and he couldn't refuse since today is a holiday, and even if he said no, she would still force herself to come.Ivy, on the other hand, was excited to spend the day with her father. She must tagged along, finally hoping to get the ice cream her father had promised her with a low voice.“Daddy, remember, you have been promising to get me ice cream, but you have not, and I need one today.”Marcus couldn't resist Ivy's eager face. He knew he had been promising her, and at the sa
Marcus noticed the eager look on Marilyn's face, her eyes sparkling with hope, and it seemed She genuinely wanted him to stay and be the first person to have a taste of their new food which is an honor undermining she doesn't know who he really is, and she is this respectful towards him tell a lot. But he knew his time was limited he needs to get Hazel the food and then go train with Mr. Tyler, and the crowd gathering around them might delay him further if he decided to join the queue again it might not get to him on time, and he promised to meet with Mr. Tyler early today, but accepting Marilyn's request might expedite his departure since she is ready to take his order all he has to do is just taste the food, and he's gone.Marcus started weighing his options to see which one of them would be suitable, and then he decided to accept Marilyn's offer. “Okay, since you want to give me the honor of being the first person to taste your newly added food, it's a pleasure, and I accept your
Marcus decided to hold Ivy's hand, noticing the way she was staring at Marilyn, and it was becoming unbearable to him before Marilyn starts thinking Ivy was strange, even though she must have known by now that Ivy doesn't like her. It's clear for everyone to see.Marcus wants to keep her close and prevent her from saying anything strange. Since she hadn't spoken up yet, Marcus assumed everything was fine with Marilyn today.Marilyn turned to one of her staff members, who accompanied her to the VIP exclusive area with a soft and commanding voice.“Make sure you get Mr. Marcus and his little princess whatever they want; anything at all should be provided immediately.”The staff member nodded.“Yes, Ma.”Marilyn then faced Marcus.“Sir Marcus, please exercise some patience; I will be with you shortly.” Marcus nodded, unable to say no again. He made the wrong choice, and he's willing to pay for it if it's to wait. he is ready to wait. He will just explain things to Mr. Tyler; he will und
Ivy's gaze was fixed intently on Marilyn, her eyes scrutinizing every detail of her face. Earlier, she couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, but now she senses something is off, and this time it's so bad, even more so than her first encounter with her. Marilyn's smile seemed too wide, her eyes gleaming with an unsettling intensity. Ivy's instincts were screaming warnings, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios. She doesn't seem to like anything about Ivy the way she is staring at her, sometimes she would start wondering if she sees her mind because it's not ordinary for a little child to be this angry towards her it's becoming something else.However, she deleted the thought from her head that, if she liked it or not, her father would be hers today.Marilyn and the waiter stopped in front of Marcus, her face still beaming with a smile as she calmed down.“Sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Marcus. I really wanted to give you the best; that was why I took my time to prepare
