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,
Lady Charlotte then gazes at Penelope; she never liked her, but since it's to their benefit, she's willing to make a deal with her.“Before I hand over the shared documents to you, I need you to do something for me.” Penelope raised her eyebrows at that moment. It seems Lady Charlotte wants to look for a way to escape, but it's not going to work; she must sign those documents today or else Hazel won't be attending the meeting with San Yellow Company.“What do you want from me?” Lady Charlotte utters.“I know you are aware Hazel got us a contract of this magnitude; however, you and I know she must have been helped by someone powerful inside San Yellow Company, and I know soon all the top families in Summerville will hear about this news. Hazel would be on their lips, and some of them would want their sons close to Hazel; perhaps they might want to marry her, but with that bastard around, it won't be possible.” Penelope nods her head in agreement with what Lady Charlotte just said. Sh
Marcus held her hands.“We are in this together, and I'm thinking of a way to continue paying Ivy School fees without putting you under any stress.” Hazel knows Marcus wants to do everything by himself.“You don't have a job now, but I am willing to support you as always.” Marcus just nods. He would rather not start going back and forth with Hazel; she might get suspicious.“Okay, thanks for that. I can see you're busy preparing yourself for the meeting. It has been a while since you did something like this.” Hazel nods, It has been four years since they were kicked out of the family; she hasn't done any meetings of this capacity before, and it's with San Yellow Company; she must be at her best.“I just need to be at my best. I need to make good use of this opportunity.” Marcus just smile and allow her to prepare herself for the meeting, but Autumn wouldn't be asking her any damn questions.“Don't worry about Ivy; I would go pick her up myself.” Marcus Utters. Hazel nods as Marcus w
Marcus knew that wouldn't be possible. The Marcus they bullied is gone; this is the new Marcus.“Hazel, it's alright. We have already told Selena we would be coming. If we decide not to attend, they will think we're afraid of them or hiding from them.” Hazel understands all of that, but she is still worried. She was about to say something when Penelope walked right in. She heard a little of the conversation.“Are both of you going out this evening?” Hazel nods.“Yes, Mother, our class will be doing a get-together at Lovi Restaurant in just three hours from now.”Penelope smiles a little, knowing something might happen. She knows Hazel and Marcus have been avoiding their classmates; however, she sees this as an opportunity for her to make Marcus feel welcome, so she can strike him without him realizing it.“You can go with my car.” Everyone was dead silent; they couldn't believe what Penelope just said—she wants them to use her car, Hazel quickly utters.“Mom, you want us to use you
They all burst out laughing; Dylan was sensational in their eyes, and with him here, they will continue to laugh their belly out. Dylan steps closer to Marcus. He shook his head forward.“Marcus, don't worry, I will buy you a new one if you want, okay, okay!” Hazel saw Marcus wouldn't answer Dylan, so she answered.“He heard you already! But we don't need a new one.” Dylan gazed at Hazel like he was surprised she had been here since.“We have Hazel with us!” Everyone clapped twice for Hazel. It was as if they practiced everything. They started congratulating her on her marriage to Marcus, and then Dylan said it again.“Hazel congratulations!!” the other said.“Hazel congratulations!!” All of them congratulate Hazel one at a time. Dylan then gazes at Marcus again.“We have a jobless man here too,” they all burst out laughing at Dylan's words. Dylan smirked, gazing at Marcus. He will make sure he gets Marcus into trouble today.“So don't worry, mess up the room; Hazel's husband will
“Wow, Brother Johnson, you are still so damn rich. You bought a Mercedes-Benz S580 so easily. I know someone here hasn't seen the car before; he brought a Mercedes-Benz 180 to a gathering like this.” All of them started laughing again. They all hate Marcus; they just couldn't accept that the son of a nobody was outsmarting them all back then in school. However, seeing Marcus jobless gladdened their hearts. Selena was just glaring at Marcus; she knew he was going to be dealt with today. Next time, he won't dare raise his shoulder again because he made some little pocket money and thought he could now raise his shoulder.“Marcus, how much did you buy your Mercedes-Benz 180? It's old, and I have forgotten how much it was sold for back then.” Everybody gazed at Marcus, but he didn't say anything since Rob was here, he just wanted to say hey to him, but before he could say anything, Johnson uttered“Rob, are you not going to advise your friend? He's just disgracing himself.” Rob looked a
