Edward was shocked by Smith's statement. He was livid and angry that Smith went back on his words. He promised to get him back his wealth and reputation but he changed his mind at the end.He wanted to scream, yell, and bite Smith to show his dissatisfaction but he knew he dared not try such a thing because it was suicidal so he had to keep whatever that was in his mind to himself. It was a surprise how the tides turned so quickly. Not only did Smith mysteriously become rich but he also made everything he'd worked relentlessly for going down the drain because of his mistake. He wished he could turn back the hand of time and change the situation but there was nothing of such so he was left to himself. He grabbed Smith's legs firmly before he could take another step to leave the restaurant. He persisted until Smith got frustrated. "I'm willing to help you but you're yet to give me a reason why you think I'm supposed to help you," Smith demanded in a cold tone, and he swallowed hard
Rodriguez's greenhouse was heated with arguments. All the members of the family were angry and livid at mother and daughter, Olivia and Georgia for their reckless spending. "You're yet to give us a reason why you embezzled the family funds without my knowledge," Madam Kate asked coldly, with anger seething through her voice. Even though she appeared calm, she doesn't tolerate nonsense especially when it has to do with money. She believed money could do anything that she wanted so she wouldn't let anyone bring down the family because of their reckless spending. Olivia and her daughter shrunk in fear as they felt the cold and hateful gazes on the family fixed on the boring invisible holes in their body. Truly, if looks could kill, they'd have died by now. The daughter and mother were unaware of what to do, especially Olivia. She didn't know how to present the issue to him. She knew there was no way she could use Smith as an excuse because the whole family hated and loathed him. Th
"Okay, I'll do that," Georgia said and quickly sent the account details to him. Edward hung up on the call and crossed his hand behind his back. He slumped hard on the couch behind him with a frustrated look on his face. It was such a pity that he'd to call his enemy, Smith, to help you before he could sort out the bill of his soon-to-be mother-in-law. He couldn't blame himself too much because his account had been deflected and the only way he could get it back was by staying loyal to Smith's side. And besides, if Smith didn't help me sort out the bill, who else will? He knew there was no way he could sort out the bill, especially in the condition he was in. He hoped Smith would have mercy on him and return his money as soon as possible. He felt useless and helpless without money. He didn't want to be an underdog of the Rodriguez family the same way Smith was because he wasn't rich. Somehow, he began to understand what Smith passed through being poor in the Rodriguez family. Tha
"Look at your fiance, Georgia. I can't believe he could stoop so low to kowtow to Smith.""This is a disgrace to the family considering the fact that the world had already known about your engagement with him.""When would you get a good husband for us? Why do they have to be useless?""It seems Edward is just another loser in rich man's clothing."Georgia let out an exasperated sigh and ruffled her hair with a frustrated look as different negative comments came flying around her from different corners of the room. "This is not my fiance. This is not Edward," she said coldly, shaking her head vehemently to show her disapproval of the video she watched. Even though the proof was clear, she believed there was a mix-up and Edward wouldn't kneel to Smith. Her ex-husband was supposed to be doing it because he was poor and not close to the class of her fiance.She didn't know that Smith wasn't the same messenger that she knew a few years ago. Madam Kate slammed her fist on the table foll
Georgia and her mother stared at Edward with a surprised look on their faces. They couldn't mask the shocked expression that mounted on their faces. They were shocked by Edward's statement. Not only did he stop them from calling the cops on him but he also defended Smith which was weird. Georgia stared at him carefully, trying to figure out what could be wrong with him or if he was really her supposed soon-to-be husband that she knew. She knew him very well. He was ready to go to extra lengths in any case that had to do with Smith but he was ready to let the matter die down like that which was unlike him. That was a chance for him to get back at Smith, right? She was concerned and worried that something might be wrong with him. "Huh?" She mumbled and turned to him. Edward gulped down into nothing and looked away stylishly as he felt mother and daughter gazes on his body. "That's not what I mean. I'm not supporting that bastard, why should I?""There's no need to call the cops on
What!A soft gasp left Edward's lips before he could control himself. He arched his eyebrows as different thoughts began to cross his head upon hearing the report from the doctor. How was that possible? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. He didn't want to believe that the result was real. Georgia stared at him with a confused look on her, unable to tell the reason why he looked shocked and unhappy. He didn't hide his displeasure when he heard that news, and she thought he wasn't happy that she was pregnant for him. Edward, on the other side, couldn't stop thinking about the result he got. That was right, he was supposed to be happy that she was pregnant but he couldn't after finding out that she was eight weeks pregnant. He wanted to mask his feelings but he couldn't so he had to let them out. If she was truly eight weeks pregnant that meant that he wasn't the father of the child inside of her because it wasn't more than a month that he started having sex with
Georgia smiled in satisfaction when she saw the look on Edward's face, the look that held anxiety and hesitation. She believed the doctor had spoken to him and made him believe that she was pregnant for him. Her heart skipped a million beats as different thoughts crossed her mind. She couldn't wait to be in his arms again. Although she was pained and heartbroken by his statement, she knew he was only overreacting and if she was in his shoes, she would do the same even worse. She hoped he didn't find out about her secret in the future. And if he does, she is going to find a way to change the situation the same way she did recently. She snapped out of her reverie and stared at him with a confused look as he stopped midway. He brought out his phone from his pocket and read something on his face. What! A soft gasp left his lips upon reading what was on his phone. She wondered what could make him react in such a way. She didn't care about it. She believed it was some random things th
Georgia brought her phone from her handbag and stared at it with teary eyes. She wondered why her phone was beeping frequently as different messages popped on the screen. It only meant one thing, the news was going viral.She took a deep breath, trying to fight the urge that was compelling her not to check her phone. With a single thought, she swiped the phone open and a soft gasp left her lips upon reading the content of the messages that were sent to her. It was a message from the media company where she worked for. "You should come to the company right now," she could imagine how angry and livid the manager would be. She wondered how she was going to control the situation. The company stated in that message that after the news went viral, a lot of fans who had booked for her show were requesting a refund, therefore, she wouldn't be able to attend the show tour that she was having in Paris. They complained it had to do with her so they wanted to see her and have one word or the ot
