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
Wesley looks confused at that moment. He doesn't understand why the car refuses to move, so he continues to hit the steering wheel with both of his hands. Lady Charlotte, who was seated in the back seat, utters with fear written all over her face.“Wesley, why did the car stop? Can you see we are running late already?” Wesley know if it was possible to waste time, he would have done that already, but the situation at hand was beyond him.“Mother, I think the car is faulty; it refused to move.” At that moment, Lady Charlotte's legs vibrated, and a sudden sweat covered her forehead.“Tell me it's not true; why now, when I'm in a hurry, the car decided to do this?” The look on Wesley's face tells us he was also frustrated about the situation. Lady Charlotte quickly took a look at her watch. Her heartbeat increased when she saw there was only one hour remaining and the damn car refused to move, she utters.” Wesley, book a taxi now since it's not far away, and we can still get there on
Lady Charlotte ran into the compound, fear coursing through her entire being as if she were being chased by invisible demons, her heart pounding against her chest as sweat covered her face like someone running a marathon. Penelope's expression froze as he laid her eyes upon Lady Charlotte. She was not expecting to see her come to their house in this condition, and it was evident from the look on her face that something was wrong. Lady Charlotte quickly ran to Hazel and hugged her she was still breathing heavily.“My beloved granddaughter, you know grandma loves you. I'm so sorry. I was blinded by the words of that useless Jacob. It's confirmed now that you got us the contract.”Hazel frozen, She wasn't expecting any of this. How is that even possible? What could have made Lady Charlotte come to their house if she wanted to tell her this? She would have just called her to inform her, but why did she come by herself?“Mother, you said I was trying to defraud our family, but why the sud
Lady Charlotte's heart skips; everything seems to be going wrong for her, and time is no longer on her side.“I left my phone at home, but don't worry when I get home, I will transfer it to her immediately.” Marcus wasn't having any of that.“My wife won't be making that phone call with her receiving the money.” Lady Charlotte couldn't hold her anger anymore. The fool must think it's a joke.“You bastard, who asked you to speak, are you Hazel? Keep your mouth shut and let Hazel respond herself.” Hazel knows whatever Marcus is doing is for their good; if not for his friend, the contract wouldn't even be possible. She didn't do anything instead of being thankful; they are busy fighting who helped them, she utters.“My husband would speak for me; I have nothing to say; whatever he says, I agree.” Lady Charlotte almost lost her balance; she couldn't believe Hazel would say such a thing. What did she see in this damn bastard? Wesley, at that moment, couldn't keep his calm anymore. Scumb
Lady Charlotte raised her eyes a little. She thought Penelope had stopped this attitude of hers. This is the reason she doesn't like her. She never supported David getting married to this money-loving scavenger, but he didn't listen. Now that he's paying the price, she faces Hazel.“Do you want Wesley to transfer the amount to your mother's cashless account?”Hazel has no other choice; even if she refuses, she knows her mother will collect the money from her one way or another. She will look for a way to buy a thank-you gift for Marcus.“Yes, send it to her.” Marcus couldn't believe he totally forgot Penelope was with them; now Hazel wouldn't get a dime; it doesn't matter anyway; he had more than enough. Penelope's face was full of smiles; it seemed her prayers had been answered. Mr. Frank gifted her 60 thousand dollars, and now Lady Charlotte is also gifting her one million dollars. What more could she have asked for? Penelope opened her cashless app, and Wesley sent the money to he
Lady Charlotte was curious to know what the men were here for. Looking at this, it seems they are some kind of thugs, and they are here for something. Wesley's head was down at that point. He knew the men that just arrived were Mr. Frank and his men. He couldn't believe they were just coming when he asked him to come early. Now they have one million dollars. However, since he bought the house, they should be kicked out, and they are going to use some money given to them to rent a house now. He's still going to make sure they are kicked out of every house they rent eventually. Mr. Frank quickly walked forward.“Brother Marcus, so sorry for coming late. I was trying to check the documents to make sure there were no mistakes.” He pointed the documents forward before Marcus could stretch his hands forward to collect the documents. Penelope immediately collected the documents from Mr. Frank's hands.“I will be the one signing the house document.” Lady Charlotte still doesn't understand
