Hazel was shocked; she couldn't believe what Ivy just said. How can she say all of this is free? She gazed at Marcus, who was busy carrying the bags out.She decided to wait for Marcus to be done. Finally, Marcus was done, and the taxi driver left, they carried everything inside the house. Hazel then asked Marcus“Ivy said all of these were free.”Marcus nods.“Yes, she is right; everything you see here is all free.”Hazel's eyes widen, and she quickly walks to the bag to see what is truly inside.She opened the first bag, and she saw the drinks.“Are these not Dad's favorite drinks?”Marcus nods“But this drink cost a lot; how did you manage to get it for free?”At that moment, she knew they were all fake, which could only explain why they got them for free, could it be they were expired? “Marcus, don't tell me you bought fake drinks; you should have bought something else.”Marcus just smiled, knowing Hazel hadn't seen the JSK branding on the bags; however, he decided to keep his m
The lady nodded.“Don't worry, Ma, this is my job; leave it to me.”Penelope checked everything herself once again to see if they were working, and everything seemed fine. She smiled brightly, knowing the bastard would be gone soon. She never wanted it to be today, but Lady Charlotte's promise keeps ringing in her head, and she can't waste any more time. Today is the perfect opportunity to strike, and she must do so.“Okay, get yourself ready. He will be here soon. When he's coming, I will send you a message.”She nodded, and Penelope walked away to the restaurant; her face was lively. She sat close to David. Marcus and Hazel congratulated them.“Mommy and Daddy, congratulations. I pray this new-found love never departs from us again. Seeing everyone smiling and happy is just the best gift someone can ask for.” Penelope nods; however, for her to be happy, Marcus will have to leave first. She never planned for any of this, and she had to waste her money on all of this, which pains her
Douglas didn't know what to say; however, one thing was for sure: it was going to be difficult to change his friend's mind.“Young master, I don't know how much Crown High School is worth, but one thing I know is that it will be difficult to change his mind.” Marcus smiled“I want you to call him again and tell him I will pay 333 million dollars for the ownership, and he will keep his position.” Douglas eyes widen when Marcus mentions 333 million, and his leg vibrates. That is a lot of money.“Okay, young master, I will discuss it with him.” Marcus Utters.“If he still refuses send me his contact, I will discuss it with him personally.”Douglas nods; however, he's not going to allow that to happen. He will make sure the young master trusts him on this, and he's going to prove himself.“Okay, young master, I will do that.” Marcus ended the call; however, he didn't know if he should call Robert and inform him about his plans and the challenges he was facing. The Lady waiting for Ma
Marcus gazes at Penelope.“Mother, what did you do–?”Penelope cut Marcus off, and she responded immediately.“Oh, you want to call me mother now because your secret has been exposed. I want you and the lady out of this house immediately.” Marcus was about to say something when Penelope yelled at him.“Get out!!” She pointed at the door leading outside.“Out!!!” At that moment, Hazel utters her eyes are full of tears, ready to be dropped.“Marcus, how could you do such a thing?”“I did nothing, Hazel; you have to believe me.” Penelope does like how the situation is turning out; she knows Marcus is good at explaining his way out of trouble and Hazel trusts him; she mustn't let any of that to happen.“Hazel, let me handle this; it's going to hurt you more. I don't want you to get hurt anymore, as your mother; that is my responsibility, and I have failed to do that.” Hazel didn't listen to her mother; she gazed at Marcus.“I want you to look me in the face and tell me why you decided
Ivy heard what everyone was saying, but she seemed not to understand their words. She knows everyone is mad at her dad, including her mom, but she isn't going anywhere without seeing her dad. Ivy started struggling with Hazel more, and at the same time, she uttered“Mommy, I want to see my dad. Is Daddy okay? Let me see Daddy.”Hazel wouldn't keep hold of Ivy anymore; she had to carry her down. She bent close to her with tearing eyes.“Honey it's okay; you will see Daddy next week.” Ivy saw tears in her mother's eyes as she walked closer to her and put her hands on her face.“Mommy, why are you crying? Did something happen to Daddy?” Hazel knows it's going to hurt Ivy when she finally divorces that beast; he's not worthy enough to be called a father. It's for Ivy's own benefit; she will get used to it as time goes on.“Daddy is busy; you will see him next week. Come, let's go.” Ivy refused to move. She heard her father's voice inside earlier; she knew he was inside. She immediately
Marcus just nodded towards Hazel, knowing she would see he was innocent, and her mother was behind all of this. However, what just happened still surprised him. He knows Penelope doesn't like him; he never for once thought she would organize such a thing.“Yeah, let's go check the car dash cam; you all would see I'm innocent.” Penelope eyes shut up, her face squeezed, and she wouldn't allow Hazel to check the car dash cam. She forgot about Mr. Elvis giving her a car when she went to Auto Best Repair to fix her old car. She never for once thought the damn car would be her obstacle. Hazel must not check the dash cam. She walks closer to Hazel and whispers some words to her.“Hazel, I know you're hurt; trust me, I know how you feel. There is no need to check the car dash cam; you're going to hurt yourself more. You saw everything with your eyes; everyone caught him in the act.” immediately David joined the conversation. He knew what Penelope was up to, and he had to support her. Althou
Penelope's hands started shaking. She knew Hazel would be mad at her when she saw what she did; it was for her own benefit, but she wouldn't see it that way. She must do something immediately. She walked closer to Hazel, who was about to insert the flash drive into her laptop. Penelope immediately held her hands. Marcus finally calmed down, seeing how worked-up Penelope looked, he knew he was right. Penelope was the mastermind.“Hazel, don't do it; you're going to get hurt more; let's handle the situation.” Hazel forced her hand off her mother.“Even if I get hurt, I don't care; I want to see what he will say next after we watch the recording. Shameless dog, he irritates me.” Marcus gazed at Hazel and shook his head. He never for once, imagined Hazel would insult him in this manner; she was acting as if he caught him in the act. However, he's going to see what her reaction would be when she sees the truth. Penelope couldn't say anything at this point. She knows Hazel is determined
Hazel's eyes shut up immediately. Her voice started quivering. She immediately stood up and ran to Marcus, holding his hand.“Marcus, please don't leave. I'm begging you. I'm sorry I was foolish. Please don't leave.” Hazel couldn't speak properly at that moment; her heart was heavy, and she knew she had messed up. Marcus forced his hand, but Hazel managed to hold him tight.“Please, I'm sorry.”The look on Marcus face shows he was damn serious. Marcus utters his voice was bitter.“I don't want your apologies because I won't forgive you for what you just did today. You have shown me you don't respect or trust me. I don't care anymore. When I'm gone, you can have a better life like your mother wanted.” Marcus managed to force his hand from Hazel; he walked outside the house, and Hazel followed him from behind and tried to plead with Marcus.“Marcus, let's discuss this. I'm sorry for what I did, please.” Marcus didn't say anything to her; he booked a taxi himself. However, Hazel gazed
