Penelope was surprised to see Elizabeth. Both of them had been friends for a long time, but she traveled abroad and both of them lost contact. However, she wasn't happy to see her here. Penelope know Elizabeth would definitely make a mockery of her; she pretended to be smiling.“Elizabeth, is that really you? How are you?” Elizabeth stood up from where she was seated, walked towards Penelope, and stopped in front of her. Penelope wanted to hug Elizabeth, but she stepped backward immediately. She doesn't want her dress to get stained. Just looking at Penelope, she knows she doesn't have any money.“Yes, it's me. How have you been?” Penelope pretended as if she didn't understand what Elizabeth just did, but she was damn angry at this point.“I'm fine. It's been over six years since we last saw each other. How is your daughter?” Elizabeth smiled, but inside her, she knew all wasn't alright with Penelope; she seemed lost, and everything about her seemed off. She knows this isn't the sa
At that moment, Penelope's eyes opened a little. She knew Elizabeth would definitely find out Now, what if she has someone who works inside Dream High? Even if Marcus lies again, she will find out. Marcus just smiled. He thought the women's associations Penelope belonged to were all busybodies, but Elizabeth is still up there. Penelope belongs to a women's association she joined when she got married to David. Everything was okay back then, even though she didn't want to be with them anymore. She couldn't just tell them she wanted to quit; she has been enduring the hardship that comes along with it for some time now. Marcus gazes at Penelope; she looks ashamed. However, he's not going to allow his mother-in-law to get humiliated, not when he's there. He was about to say something when Elvis walked right into the scene. He faces Elizabeth and hands over her bills to her.“Here are your bills.” Elizabeth collected it. Her eyes widened; she couldn't believe she would have to pay eight t
Elizabeth was also shocked to hear Marcus's words. She knows both of them are just acting dramas; they think she believes that crap story of her son-in-law resigning from his job. He doesn't even look like someone who has been working; he looks useless. Marcus saw the look on Penelope's face; he knew she was In shock, he never wanted to say a word or help her out, but he couldn't keep quiet and watch his mother-in-law get humiliated in such a manner. However, he knows if he wants to be on the good side of Penelope, he will have to shut her friend mouth up.“Mother, let me have the bills.” Penelope hesitated at first, but everyone started looking at her. She decides to give Marcus the bill, but she knows he can't pay this time, and she wasn't asking him to pay but why he is trying to disgrace them even more? Marcus collected the bill and gazed at it.“20,000 dollars” Elizabeth bursts into laughter again. She now understands why Penelope looked so frustrated when she first saw the bil
Elizabeth gazed at Kelly; she couldn't believe he would dare speak now. He dare mention 8,000 dollars when someone she was trying to mock just spent 50,000 dollars to fix an old car, yet the fool opened his mouth to utter nonsense. He should have kept his mouth shut and waited for them to leave before he opened his mouth. Penelope, at that moment, just smiled. She saw the look on Elizabeth's face; she looked embarrassed.“Elizabeth, which of the cars do you use? I'm curious to know.”Elizabeth didn't say anything; she knew the amount Penelope's son-in-law just spent can buy her car. Its embarrassment would be too much if she stayed any longer.“I almost forgot. I have something very important to attend to soon. We will continue our discussion next time.” Penelope started laughing immediately.“Don't tell me you want to escape; don't run away from my question.” Elizabeth quickly walked out of the VIP office, and Kelly followed her from behind. The embarrassment was too much for her to
Kelly's eyes widen. He knows Elizabeth is capable of something like that. He knows that with this situation on the ground, people might not believe him even if he tells them he's innocent, and he is her son-in-law. She will just use the excuse of the divorce to make up a story. Kelly quickly came down from the car. Elizabeth gazed at him with dead eyes.“I'm going home right now to pack out your belongings. Make sure you come pick them up yourself today. If not, once the refuse dump company comes, I will be giving them your belongings to dispose of.” Elizabeth drove off. Kelly was confused at that point. He doesn't know what to do anymore. Everything he has ever worked for has been invested in his wife and her mother-in-law. Now he has nothing anymore. His head was full of thoughts. He knows he's finished, but he is not going to give up without a fight, if they want him they must compensate him for all he did. He has been playing a fool for years now, but at this moment it is time t
Hazel was speechless at that moment; she couldn't say anything. Marcus continued“I pleaded with him to saying my wife was a top fan of Alexis Silver, and surprisingly, he just gave the tickets to me.” Hazel's heartbeat could be heard; she always wanted to attend Alexis Silver's shows, but there was no spare money to buy a ticket, and besides, tickets always get finished before the day runs out. She was overjoyed; this was the best gift Marcus had given her this year.“Thank you, Marcus. I truly appreciate this gift, but first, let's go visit Benjamin before I thank you properly.” Marcus smiled upon hearing what Hazel just said.“Are we doing it tonight?”Hazel nods. Marcus just smiled, knowing he was getting something in return for his hard work. Hazel booked a taxi not long after it arrived. Marcus and Hazel entered, and they arrived at the hospital. Everybody wanted to come see Benjamin's progress. Marcus and Hazel enter the room, only to be greeted by Dylan and the guys from
Everybody frowns, looking at Pearl. How can Pearl say those crazy words? She is the captain when it comes to taunting weak people, especially Marcus. Why this sudden change? Benjamin was beaming watching Pearl siding with Marcus, although he was still waiting to hear what Pearl's response would be when Dylan asked if her boyfriend had broken up with her. The reason he never confessed to Pearl was because he knew they were not of the same class; he didn't know what her response would be if he said those words. It would hurt him if Pearl insulted him because of that, and he would lose her respect. However, his feelings for Pearl were still on his mind because she bullied Marcus; he never liked that. Some people thought he was scared to tell her how he felt, but all these reasons have been pushing him away, and his love for her never died. Dylan roars, Pearl must've forgotten his family; she thinks he's of the same class as Marcus, the street beggar. The Lawrence family is among the
Wesley stood up immediately from where he was seated; he couldn't believe what he just heard.“What did you just say? How is that even possible? You must be kidding, right? That isn't a good way to demand more money from me.” Wesley is angry at that moment. It seems he's saying all of this just to demand more money from him. No school in Summerville would dare admit that little bastard, not with those records of hers.“Don't mess with me if you want more money. You could have asked. Don't ever use this trick again.” The man couldn't believe Wesley's words; it seemed he didn't believe him.“Sir, I don't want more from you; what I just told you is the truth: the little girl started school yesterday.” Wesley's eyes turn red at that moment. It seems the man is damn serious. How did it happen? Which school would dare admit that bastard girl?“Which of the schools admitted her? Something tells me you're lying to me.” Wesley knows that little bastard can't get admitted to any school; her r
