“What's wrong?” Madam Kate muttered with a confused look on her face. “Ghost?” She arched her eyebrows as the words that came out of their mouth resounded in her head. Ghost? Were they talking about her? She asked herself even though she had gotten an answer to the question. They were all staring at her like she was a ghost or a spirit. Fear and panic embraced them as they stared at their grandmother, who was supposed to be dead, standing before them hale and healthy. Isn't she? Even if they doubted it, William couldn't doubt what he heard. He couldn't misheard Smith when he said that he didn't want to have anything to do with Smith. How is she alive? Did she go back to death? As bizarre and crazy as his idea might seem, he couldn't think of something better to explain how she managed to return home alive. He still believed she was a ghost. “Ghost. Who is a ghost?” Madam Kate asked in her usual cold and dominant tone. She thought she would be able to change their mind by speak
William stared at his grandmother with a confused look on his face. He couldn't tell why his grandma suddenly became angry and slapped him. They were so good earlier that they even hugged. But why did she slap him? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. He stroked his chin calmly with a cold look on his face as he turned to his Grandmother, patiently waiting for her to explain why she slapped him. “Why did she slap him?”“Weren't they on good terms earlier?”“What has he done to deserve such a deafening slap?”“I thought he was grandma's favorite. Maybe no one is above being scolded by her.”They discussed silently among themselves, with sarcasm dripping from their voices. They were unaware that he could hear them. He clenched his fist with an angry look and bit on his lower lips till he almost bled. “That's because you deserve me,” she said in a cold tone and he swallowed hard. “But I did nothing wrong,” he complained and she scoffed. “Of course, you did nothing
“That's enough,” she slammed her fist on the table making a loud thud sound and they all kept quiet. None of them dare to talk, especially when she's angry. They could only watch her do what she wanted. She was the leader anyway. “You can't lecture me on what to do or not. Of course, I know that you all are just trying to be nice to me and all of that but you don't need to exaggerate on the situation.”“I'm fine. I know that I'm fine. Nothing will happen to me, okay? I'm not ready to leave you guys yet so you should worry less and let's face the trouble. We don't have much time left,” she said and they nodded their heads in agreement even though they were convinced. If only she knew the repercussions, she wouldn't have sent the nurse away. “So what are you planning to do, Grandma?” William spoke up to ease the tension in the hall and she looked up. “That's right. We have two things on our plate. We have to come up with any idea to bring the company back to its feet and we also nee
Madam Kate stared at him with a suspicious and confused look on her face. His statement caught her attention so she couldn't control her curiosity. “What did you just say?” she asked and he looked up with a sly smile on his face that she didn't notice. “I was surprised that it was because of Smith that she's also doing this to you,” he said and she frowned. She glared at him as she didn't get the answer that she wanted. She wanted to know why he exclaimed in such a way. He must have a reason to say it again!“Don't play around with me and answer my question. What do you mean by Smith again?” She asked in a cold tone and he took a deep breath. He cleared his throat and adjusted his suit properly. “It's nothing serious just that I noticed something suspicious going on between those folk,” he said in a calm yet deep tone. “Can you explain better in detail and stop beating around the bush?” She asked and he nodded his head. “Yes.”“After Smith called Georgia to come, I think she con
Olivia arched her eyebrows with a confused look on her after her grandmother hung up on the call. What could be wrong? She asked herself but she couldn't get an answer to it. She couldn't understand why her mother and William were angry at her daughter. She believed nothing was going on between her daughter and Smith. How could she go back to her ex-husband? Not like he was a good and rich person. She clenched her fist with an angry look as she remembered how she was humiliated by William, whom she could give birth to. She couldn't do anything about him because he had the support of Madam Kate, her mother. She dropped her phone on the table and walked out of the sitting room to the customized caller room. She exhaled as her gaze landed on the bourbon drink on the numerous shelves that different drinks were placed on. She picked her favorite wine and walked out of the room with one glass cup. She poured herself a cup of wine and sat cross-legged on the chair then sipped from it w
“What! Who is this man?”“He even had the guts to stop the car before we could get to them.”“He must have some guts. I can't wait to tear those limbs apart and teach him a good lesson.”The special squad that was sent to get some information from Smith discussed among themselves as they stared at Mr. Issac, who was standing before him fearlessly with his arm crossed under his broad chest. The bulky thug, who seemed to be their leader, scoffed and came down from the car followed by his workers. “Why have you been chasing us? Don't you cherish your life?” Mr. Issac asked in a cold tone as he caressed his chin. He sounded calm and gentle yet he had a dangerous demeanor that couldn't be overlooked or ignored.They stared at the old man before then with a surprised look. Slowly, their expression changed from surprise to anger. They glared at him viciously like a predator that wanted to pounce on its prey but Mr. Issac, who was before him, was unfazed by any of them. He couldn't have
“Madam Kate won't cease to surprise me,” Mr. Issac muttered and caressed her chin. “She keeps going after those who are greater than her in every way,” he said and shook his head.Red stared at him with a confused look, unable to understand what Issac meant. “Do you know her, Sir?” Red asked and Mr. Issac smiled. “Who doesn't know her?” Mr. Issac replied and chuckled coldly. “What do you want me to do?” He asked and Mr. Issac looked up. “That's a good question. I love that,” Mr. Issac folded his arms behind his back like a master or grandmasters would do. Red stared at him nervously, wondering what task he would give to him he'd disrespected a man that his boss was afraid and careful of. He hoped Mr. Issac wasn't still angry at him. “I want you to return to her and tell her that you've found information about Smith. Make her believe that she's just a wimp in the Edward family and he'll be soon ditched,” Mr. Issac said and Red looked up with a confused look. He couldn't unders
“Will you keep quiet and stop opposing me?” Madam Kate asked in a cold tone and he swallowed hard. He placed his hand on his clenched chin without saying anything. He couldn't follow what those people said blindly because it seemed Smith had something up on his sleeves. He just couldn't tell what it was. And it kept freaking him out that he didn't know what it was.He needed to know what it was before it was too late. As much as he wanted to punish Smith for playing such a prank on him and abusing his status, he needed to be careful and mindful of his actions. He couldn't afford to let his grandmother take an action that she would end up regretting. He had almost lost her so he couldn't afford to lose her again. “No matter what, I think you should be patient. I'm sure he has something up his sleeves,” he said and began to explain to her. Even at that, he was unable to change her mind. She had made up her mind not to listen to her grandson for the first time unless she dealt with
