“What are you talking about?” Edina said and looked at Jeanette. She was not buying her lies. Does Jeanette take her as a fool? In Sunview, Edina knows everything. She also knows the updates about every household in Arora. “Come on Jeanette, do you think I don’t know what happened to Andrew? Was it not that your useless son-in-law, that did this to him after humiliating your daughter? How can you still lie to me even though I consider you a loyal friend?” Edina said, looking pitiful. Jeanette felt ashamed and said.“Don’t blame me, Edina, how can I boldly tell you that my useless son-in-law is not only worthless but has also become a wizard”“A wizard? Since when?!” Edina asked in surprise.“Yes, he is into witchcraft. If not, how can you explain what he did to my son? I mean, look at his hand. It now stinks”“Why can’t you call the police?” Edina asked, looking innocently. She heard how John exterminated the police officer, who came to arrest him and also rendered the second officer
“Gladys, where is the VIP candidate?” Austin asked shortly after his feet touched the bottom stairs. He did not spare John a glance, nor wait for her response. Instead, he dashes outside in a hurry in search of the VIP personnel.“I didn’t see any VIPs outside. Are you playing a plank or what?” Austin asked Gladys immediately after he came back to the reception.“That was because you were in a hurry to pay attention. Anyway, Mr. John here is a VIP candidate. Please take him to your office for proper registration. Don’t forget to make his schedule convenient and flexible”Austin looked John up in contempt. He gazed at his grungy clothes and scowled his face. He thought of the old-fashioned car that was packed outside and smiled.“Look, Gladys, I was in the middle of the registration for the wife of the third son of the Forster family when you called, and you know what that means?” If there are no other things you have to say, let me get back to her before she becomes annoyed If there
Ruby chuckled. She knew how rich and influential her husband’s family was, yet she could only register for the silver premium. So how can John pay for the VIP which is the Diamond? She thought. She can’t wait to see how he will be disgraced.John clenched his fists, looked at the small group, and swallowed the lump in his throat.He brought out his credit card from his hip pocket. Gladys quickly held his hand.“Don’t listen to them. You can choose another plan that is not VIP. I'm sure there is something you could afford. She wouldn’t want John to disgrace himself before these people. Austin pushed Gladys away, and she fell on the couch. John quickly rushed Austin. However, two security men held him.“Give me the card,” Austin ordered and quickly snatched the credit card from John. He inserted it into the payment machine on Gladys’s table and waited for a while. Within a short time, the machine blinks red and then a message followed, insufficient balance, payment denied Austin smirke
Jeanette and Edina found vacant seats in the front row of the Donation Center and sat down. Of truth, Jeanette did not want to sit there. Edina was the one who chose that place. She wanted everyone to notice her when she gave her donation. However, Jeanette was not comfortable because most of her friends were in that row. Edina will surely let them know she was the one paying for her donations. In the past, it was Jeanette who paid most of Edina’s bills. That was before John ruined their lives. Jeanette used to put Edina in her place. She only accepted Edina as her friend when her daughter married Kevin and since then Edina felt belonged. But now all that has changed, Edina is the one saying what they would do. Edina and her husband were not that rich before Kevin married their daughter. Edina’s husband came from a wealthy family, but after the death of his grandfather, everything crumbled. Most people did not know the true financial status of the Wright Family. They thought that th
Since Jeanette donated five million, Edina thought she would donate higher so that people would appreciate her even more. She was jolted out of her trance by the microphone that touched her shoulder. She smiled and took the microphone.“I am happy that the community is about to do something worthwhile in the lives of the helpless homeless. I most appreciate the organizers of this program. You guys are wonderful. Without wasting our time, on behalf of myself and my family, the Wright family, the one and the only in-law of the Forster family, I am donating Twenty-five million for this grand project.”There were loud cheers from the audience. So far, Edina was the highest donor and that makes her feel happy. This was the first time in her entire life she was the center of attraction. The cheering lasted for a long while and Edina loved it. Even Jeanette couldn’t help but envy her. What a blessing it is to have a rich son-in-law. But that was never her case. Her son-in-law was nothing but
Jeanette felt so ashamed, she was now boiling in anger. Deep down, she can’t stop blaming her father-in-law for pushing Olivia into such a terrible man.“What if Kevin did not show up? What would she do? Who will come to her rescue?” She thought? And sit down on one of the vacant seats. However, Edina’s eyes caught someone coming in their direction. She quickly thought of something and raised her voice at the same time, “John Smith! John Smith!” she screamed so loud that John was forced to turn around. “Come on here John, come here dear” she shouted and waved at John.Had John known that she was the one calling, he wouldn’t have turned around. He was just coming from the terrible situation he had at Best Fitness only to meet Edina and his mother-in-law in the Donation Center. Jeanette on the other hand felt so embarrassed. John looked like a beggar and the monster he had become, also frightened her. “Edina, why did you call him here? She whispered.“You would soon find out” Edina w
“Don’t you know who she is? You know I can easily stop this donation and lock you up,” Kevin yelled out again.“I am sorry, sir, I was only doing my job. Your father was among the people that agreed to this arrangement. Please forgive me, sir,” the guard begged, kneeling before Kevin. The guard shiver. How could he incur the wrath of Forster’s family?Emma and her friends were jealous upon discovering that Kevin belonged to the Forster family.“This is the type of man my daughter must marry”“You are right Emma, if not someone like this, let her not talk of any marriage,” the other woman added.“How much was the amount that made you stop my mother-in-law from going home? Say it right now and let her get out of here. There’s no amount of money that Forster’s son can’t pay,” he boasted.John was now interested in what was happening, and so he folded his arms to see what Kevin could do.“Mother, how much was your donation money?”“Our money is only thirty million dollars! I donated Twent
What is he going to do? To make his situation worse, he put the phone on speaker so that everyone would hear how the Manager would beg him on the phone, but he never knew that things would turn out this way. John slowly put his finger inside his nose and grinned. Kevin was one of his customers at the bank. He was well aware of what happened, which was why he challenged Kevin and made him promise to take Jeanette’s place.Jeanette wept. She was indeed in serious trouble, and Edina was trembling seriously. What kind of mess did she bring upon herself?Kevin was forced into the place where Edina and Jeanette were locked up by two of the guards. When he wanted to resist them, they beat him up and forced him to sit on the floor. The humiliation was too much for Kevin because he was disgraced before the entire Sunview community.Emma and her friends were also ashamed of being envious of Edina. Edina was crying hard. She blamed herself for what happened. “Since you can’t pay for my mother-i
