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
He was about to walk towards Marcus when Lady Charlotte stepped in.“Where do you think you're going? go wait for me inside the taxi.” Wesley squeezed his fist as he glared at Marcus. He wouldn't mind whatever it was; he's going to teach Marcus a lesson for making a mockery of him.“You will hear from me soon.” Wesley angrily walked away and entered the taxi. Lady Charlotte gazes at Marcus with dead eyes. He knows he wants Wesley to lose his mind, and Hazel would see Wesley as the bad guy. She might not want to complete the contract with San Yellow Company, which would be a disaster. Lady Charlotte put on a fake smile on her face as she faced Hazel.“Don't worry, Hazel. I'm going to teach him manners when we get home.” Hazel nods. The situation is becoming awkward for Lady Charlotte; she must leave before they find out she is only pretending.“I will be taking my leave now, Hazel. I will call you if anything comes up. Please prepare yourself for the meeting.” Hazel nods. She kno
It was 7 p.m. the next day, and Hazel had prepared Ivy for school. Both of them were full of excitement since it was her first day in school. Marcus decided to follow them. They entered a taxi, and it drove them to Ivy School. At the front gate, Marcus squatted as he spoke to Ivy.“My little princess, make sure you listen to what your teachers tells you, okay?” Ivy nodded her head.“Okay Daddy”“Be a good girl; I and Mom will come to pick you up after school.” Ivy nods At that moment, Marcus's eyes caught Victoria; she was coming in their direction, with a little boy walking beside her. Marcus knows Hazel doesn't like her, even though they were classmates; she never liked Hazel when they are enemies.“Hazel, what are you doing here?” Victoria utters. Hazel gazes at her; she knows what Victoria wants, but she wouldn't have it.“I'm here to drop my–” Victoria cut Hazel off.“Don't tell me you now do daycare jobs. The last time I heard something about you, they said you do delivery job
The principal then turned to see the direction Victoria pointed, and her eyes caught Marcus, Hazel, and Ivy. Hazel froze immediately. She heard what Victoria just said why would she demand for Ivy to be kicked out? She wanted to say something when the principal uttered.“Mrs. Victoria, what is the problem? Why do you want Little Ivy to get kicked out?” Victoria gazed at the principal; she couldn't believe she was asking her stupid, nonsense questions because of these poor rats. Maybe she has forgotten what she can do.“I don't need to explain anything to you; I want her kicked out of the school immediately.”“Mrs. Victoria, little Ivy, and your son are not in the same class; why would you–?”Victoria refused to let the principal finish her words.“You have five minutes to kick her out; don't make me repeat myself.” Hazel's heartbeat increased, wanting to hear what the principal would say at that moment. The principal didn't need to think twice, she utters.“Mrs. Victoria, I'm sorry,
