Penelope and the rest of the family were dumbstruck; they couldn't believe what Marcus just said; they must have heard the wrong words. They definitely heard the wrong words. How can Marcus be asking for the selling price of the house? He can't even fork out the rent amount, let alone the selling amount. They heard wrongly.“What did you say?” Frank believes he heard the wrong words.“I said, How much are you selling the house? Didn't you say you wanted to sell the house? I want to buy it.” Penelope's face turned red in anger. Marcus must be insane to say this. Does he want to further anger Mr. Frank? What is wrong with him these days? Perhaps he is insane; after all, he has been saying stupid things recently. She was going to kick him out this morning; it must have gotten to him. He's definitely insane. She will knock him out if he keeps running his mouth in anger Mr. Frank.“What is wrong with you?” Penelope hits Marcus on the back. Hazel didn't know what to say; she let her mom h
Everybody was frightened by Mr. Frank's sudden scream. They believe Marcus must've sent him a fake credit message, or possibly a text message pleading with him.It has to be the first one.Mr.Frank's heart was pounding, his legs were vibrating, and he faced Marcus with cold sweat dropping from his forehead.His voice was low; who would want to scream such an amount in such early hours?“Brother Marcus….”Marcus quickly closes his mouth. His bodyguard wanted to pound on Marcus, but Frank gave them the wait sign with his hands.Marcus let go of him and whispered some words in his ears. “Mr. Frank, you and I should discuss in that corner.”Marcus pointed to the roadside.Frank nods quickly, he would never decline.Everybody remained frozen in their position, they only watched as Marcus and Frank walked away.What is Marcus trying to do now?Hazel and Penelope were dumbfounded, David moved backward just in case Mr. Frank disagreed with whatever Marcus had to say and ordered his men to po
Mr. Frank quickly opened his cashless app, he made sure Brother Marcus had no reason to deal with him even if he remembered everything he said before. “It's okay, Mrs. Penelope. I will just send you 60 thousand dollars, 30 thousand for the repairs, and the remaining 30 thousand for the trouble I have caused you and your family.”Penelope eyes lit up with excitement—60 thousand dollars so easily.Her cheeks rose to her eyes.“You are a responsible man, Mr. Frank not like David that does nothing in this house.”David gazed down in shame. Recently, Penelope has been attacking him, and he dares not to question her back. He deserves all the insults, but he's been trying his best, and it's not good enough. He must put in more effort. However, he's still better than Marcus.Penelope's phone vibrated, she quickly opened the message and her eyes saw the money.“It would be enough to make the house brand new again.”Mr. Frank utters, and he then faces Marcus; he feels like he should apologize
Marcus went inside the house and Penelope was seated comfortably knowing they owned the house now. Her head was still full of thought analyzing how much she would get when she invested some of the money Mr. Frank gave her in stock trading. Marcus Utters. “Mother I just want to inform you we will be enrolling Ivy in school today”Hazel then turns to face Marcus she thought he was just kidding when he told her last night, it seems he's damn serious, however, she knows it's not possible all the school has blacklisted Ivy. Even the lowest school they could afford also blacklisted her, how is Marcus going to enroll Ivy.Hazel wanted to say something when Penelope uttered, she stood up immediately. “I hope it's not the money Mr. Frank gave to me, you are depending on, I won't give you any it's your responsibility to take care of your daughter anyway”Marcus smiled he knew Penelope would never give him money, but he's fully loaded now he doesn't need her money. “Mother, it's alright I do
Upon hearing what Marcus just said, the principal's eyes opened a little. If only they could pay, she would have admitted her instantly; she knows the truth, and she also knows they are poor she can't waste her time with them.“Don't waste my time. I know you can't afford her school fee; do you even know how much it costs?”Marcus doesn't care.“Just say how much it costs; I will pay you ten times”The principal couldn't help but laugh.“You think it's something you can afford, right? I would rather not waste time with you, just leave.”“Do I look like someone that is bluffing?”The look on Marcus's face shows he's so serious.The principal decided to tell Marcus the fee she knew he would run away.“It's $50,000, and you have to pay in one go; we don't accept installment payments.”“Can I pay with my cashless app?”“Yes, of course. Remember, you are going to pay ten times the normal fee.”The principal utters she wants to hear what Marcus is going to say next.“No problem”Marcus doe
Wesley has been waiting for Mr. Frank to call him and give him the good news, but he still hasn't called. He knows they would be kicked out, and he's already running late for the San Yellow Company meeting they are supposed to attend this morning. He needs to start going now.Not long after Wesley and Lady Charlotte arrived at Sam Yellow Company, they were directed to the luxurious meeting hall, which epitomizes elegance with its tasteful design and top-notch amenities. From exquisite furnishings and sophisticated lighting to advanced audiovisual systems, every detail exudes luxury. The spacious layout and attentive service create an upscale atmosphere that enhances any business gathering.‘No wonder; they don't allow any third-class family to get close to the company; it's simply beautiful.’Lady Charlotte said to herself as they sat down in the space that was provided for them with their company name tag written on it.Lady Charlotte completely forgot; she was so full of joy yesterd
Hazel and Marcus turned to see who that was. Their faces were saddened when she saw it was their university classmates, Johnson and Selena. The last time she heard of them was when they both got married and were living a comfortable life. Selena couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Marcus.“So the rumors are true; you truly got married to this weirdo.” Selena couldn't believe Hazel, the most beautiful girl in school, got married to this scumbag. She thought she would get married to a billionaire or the CEO of a top company, but she married Marcus, the poor rat who went through school using a scholarship. At that moment, her eyes caught Ivy.“Is that your daughter?”“Yes, that is our daughter.” Hazel responded.Selena almost burst out laughing, but she managed to hide it because it was not yet time to laugh at Hazel.“No wonder I haven't seen you ever since we left school; you haven't been attending our yearly get-together of all our classmates.”Selena, with a mockery expression
Hazel was worried; she didn't know what Marcus ordered; she didn't want him to go overboard just because he was angry, but one thing is for sure: Marcus is not a child; he knows when to call it a quit. Not long after all the food was delivered, Johnson kept his mouth shut. He wanted them to finish eating before he laughed at them. Selena's gaze was focused on Hazel and the food they just ordered; it looked expensive, and she wondered how they were going to pay, but it was none of her business since the bastard rejected Johnson's offer. They finished eating, and the bill was presented to Marcus.“Sir, your bill is $100,000. Are you paying with the cashless app or with your card?” Marcus gazed at the KAZ restaurant's attendance. He wanted to say something when Johnson burst into laughter.“I knew it; I knew he thought 10,000 dollars was for all the meals he ordered; he wants to explain himself now that after he has finished eating the food, you must pay for the meal.”Selena too star
