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
“Don’t you say that your son-in-law was capable? Let him get you out of here. Mother, let’s go,” John said and left with Jeanette. Nicolas returned to the stage without even sparing a glance at Edina.Emma and the other women who had said horrible things about John all became ashamed. They turned around and blamed Edina for pledging what she could not keep. Kevin was too ashamed to talk. How did John know this man? He had tried for many years to get closer to him, yet all his efforts had failed and now a foolish man like John was favored by him even when he couldn’t show gratitude, Nicolas was still willing to do more. Kevin wished he had never treated John with contempt in the past.The news of Kevin’s humiliation gets into his father’s ear. He came later in the night when everyone had left and paid for Edina’s pledge. However, Kevin was restricted from having any access to the family’s account. He must come to his father before he could get any money. He can't spend a single cent wi
John drove into the Mega gas station the next morning to refill his fuel tank. Luckily, the place was empty. Only two people were in the queue waiting for their turn. The elderly man in front of the pump attendant got his tank filled and drove out. As soon as the lady in front wanted to move her car closer, a young man drove in, blocking the lady from moving to the nearest pump. The lady got angry and came down from her car.“What is wrong with you? Why block me from refilling my car?” The Lady, Rosalie, the first daughter of Xavier of the Rowan family, shouted as soon as she walked out of her car.“Move your car out of my way and move to the next pump,” she yelled.The wealthy young man smirked and came down from his vehicle. He folded his arms and rested his back on his car.“Did you say to refill your car? Which car? I hope you are not referring to this outdated box in front of me. By the way, who told you that you could refill your fuel tank while I wait in the queue for you? Do
"Come on Natasha, let's get out of here" "You will regret this Camilo" Ivy said and picked up the ring from the floor."No Ivy you are the one regretting already" With that Camilo pulled Natasha into his arms and both entered his car and drove away. John looked at the pale woman and thought there was no need to linger there any longer, he turned to leave but Ivy grabbed his hands."Marry me Mister and I will give you the entire world"John pulled his brow and looked at the pitiable woman in front of him. He wonders how someone who can't even give herself a loaf of bread will suddenly give him an entire world. However, he loves her boldness."What makes you think that I will marry you? Even when you can't feed yourself you are promising me such a great thing""Look, the two of us can be even, what if I give you my herbal tea for free, won't you want to marry me after such a great favor""And why would I want to drink your tea, is not like I asked you for one, go away and stop plaster
John left the auction house in a hurry, he was supposed to have his training class with his coach and he was already some minutes late. He was in so much of a hurry that his car bumped into a luxurious car. The driver, who was a lady, got angry and came down. She assessed the damage and stared at the man who caused the damage."I am so sorry, I was in a hurry. I will pay the cost of the damage. This is my number you can contact me when you get it repaired" John said and hurried off before the lady could say a word."How rude, did he think he would be able to pay for the damages?" Loretta said in anger and drove out.Coming out of the gym, John's face was covered with his sweat. He has the power to do everything but not to slim himself down. He has reduced some weight but it was not yet significant for everyone to see. All the insults he got because of his body size fueled his desire to reduce the unwanted fat in his body. He thought of what to do and an idea came to his mind. Instantl
"How did you intend to pay that amount of money?" Xavier whispered to John as they followed the judge to his office."My friend wants to partner with you, so you don't have to worry about anything" John whispered back. With that, Xavier felt relieved. Inside the Judge's office, Xavier was asked to sign some necessary documents. John made the payment and both of them left the office. Unfortunately, when the news of what happened reached the minister he quickly set out with his men to save Antonio and to arrest Xavier and John. Among the people that came with the minister was George his best friend who was also a governor of Arora. Immediately they entered the premises with their entourage, Xavier came out of the judge's office with John. Xavier began to tremble. But John stood his ground even when the minister finally stepped inside the auction hall, he did not wiggle. At that time, the governor was busy answering calls outside."Who dares to ridicule my only son in this manner?" th
So he raised his bid to Ninety million dollars. At that point, Choi Min-Jun smiled. Bidding Ninety million out of a hundred million, Xavier would not have enough money to run a successful business, and Dominic, his brother, would then come to help him out with the business and convert everything to his name leaving Xavier with nothing. Choi Min-Jun and Dominic will then form a partnership. But as his grandfather had done, Choi Min-Jun planned to cheat Dominic out of the business and possess the entire business, all by himself. Choi Min-Jun had thought everything out and so he volunteered to help Dominic in the auction. Unfortunately, before the auctioneer could hit the gavel, someone from the back shouted;"One hundred and twenty million dollars" the whole crowd cheered with loud voices, Dominic's face fell and Xavier dropped his jaw. The young man, Antonio, stood up arrogantly and walked to the judge. He has been observing the whole auction and kept quiet, he was determined to be t
Meanwhile, at the auction Center, Xavier was already sweating, the auction had started about twenty minutes ago, and within this time, Choi Min-Jun was already smiling in his seat, he had bid the highest offer so far. Dominic was also rejoicing. He was glad that Xavier was losing the bids. He intentionally came to the place to cause trouble for Xavier and also to mock him when he finally failed to buy the shopping mall. so he walked up to him and said. "Little brother, why are you so sad? Is it because your dream of buying Zanquch shopping malls is about to vanish? But I told you not to think about buying the mall because you can't even run a good business if you eventually succeed in buying it, so give it up " Xavier opened his mouth to talk but was forced to shut up when another bidder announced seventy million. That was almost 99 percent of the money in his pocket. Xavier reasoned that if he bid higher than the amount and maybe, just maybe he finally got the mall then, which mon
Olivia was dressing her mother's garden as John instructed her to do. After her unspeakable ordeal, she was now the one to dress and care for the garden instead of John. She was about to transplant a rose plant to the spot where John instructed her to place it when a luxurious car drove into their compound. She stood for a while, trying to figure out who the person might be. Just then Rosalie came out of her car. Olivia was stunned to see such a beautiful woman in her father's compound. She instantly believed that she was the same lady whom Andrew wanted to get into a courtship with.From the look of things, the young lady must have come from a very good family and a rich one for that matter. Olivia guessed that the young lady came to visit her younger brother Andrew, who was currently ill and still recovering from the injury John inflicted on him. She smiled sweetly and went to welcome her."Hi, beautiful one, are you here to see Andrew? It's a shame he was slow in recovery and could
Xavier was glad to hear that, he had wished to see John again and because of this he quickly said."In that case, why not come next Friday, so that we can go to the auction""Which auction?" John asked. He heard about the auction going on in the Center Hall next Friday but he was not sure if Xavier was referring to the auction of the shopping mall."Ha, John what did you know about the business world, but since you wish to know, I will just tell you," Xavier said."Zanquch family wishes to return to their hometown and because of this, they have been selling off all their family business in Arora, however, my eyes are on the shopping mall if only I could buy the shopping mall, then my status would be elevated not only in my family but also in the entire Sunview. However, I have little capital to do so, and because of your kindness, you lent me your friend's money. I wish to invest in this huge business. So I want you to be there, your presence may bring me luck" Xavier said.John was i
Yes, Grandpa, Matthew promised to bow for me and lick my shoes if I cured your illness,"Ellis and Annette smiled because they knew what their Grandfather could do. Just like they thought, the old man hit his walking stick hard at Matthew's head and said. "Bow down and lick his shoes"Matthew quickly got on his knees and bowed before John, everyone in the room including Xavier and Dominic couldn't hold their laugh, as he licked the dirty shoes like a dog. Feeling satisfied, John smiled the moment his shoes were licked clean by Matthew who was sulking. Matthew vowed to deal with John for humiliating him before his entire family and left the house in anger. John looked around and saw Ellis. For some reason, he felt interested in the boy."Could you please, bring down Chang Fu, I tied him up in your Grandfather's room" Ellis was glad that John chose to send him on an errand if he won his affection, then he would be able to help him teach his brother Matthew one or two lessons in the f
John gently lay on the dead man. The gleaming light transmitted from his body to Bennett’s corpse and gradually faded out of the room. Matthew was stunned when he saw John. Is John the Orthodox doctor who came to cure his sick grandfather? He thought and yanked John out of his grandfather’s body.“What did you do to him, and what are you doing here?” He asked.John turned back and saw Matthew, his ex-colleague at Weam Bank. He was surprised to see Matthew in Bennett’s room.“What are you doing here, dirty bag? Who brought you into the Rowan family house?” Matthew asked.“Matthew, please stop this. He is trying to help us. He wanted to revive Grandpa,” Rosalie said.Matthew laughed so hard that tears started coming out of his eyes. “Who is reviving Grandpa? John? How could you believe this shit of a man? He was nothing but a jobless ex-banker who survived by living with his laws and did nothing in the house except washing his wife’s undies every day,” Matthew said.“Is that so, Matth
