Although he looked all cheerful with a smile, Grandpa Ellison's expression certainly didn't seem the same. Because his tone was rather serious when he did speak "What were you thinking to let all these happen?"Hearing him ask that, he was more than sure what he meant. And he knew for sure that he was serious at the moment. He let out a soft smile as he leaned back on his seat "Nothing much... Don't worry about me""How am I not supposed to worry about you when something like this is bothering you? I mean I've seen all that's happening online and it's not looking good. People are talking trash about you and your status and company kept flopping. How am I supposed to keep calm about it?" He raised an eyebrow.Leo was calm for awhile as His Grandfather continued "How long do you plan on hiding it? How long do you plan on hiding the fact that you're the real son of the empire and all that belongs to you without questioning. How long are you going to let that bastard sit on a seat that is
The person who wanted to meet Max was already waiting for him when he arrived at the restaurant where they were to meet. There was a man sitting down in a VVIP room, waiting. And as soon Max walked into the room, he got up to his feet and welcomed max. They both exchanged pleasantries and sat back down. And as they did, they ordered some meals to go with their conversation."You wanted to see me personal even after sending me the invitation. Which was something new... so I was curious to know if everything was okay?" Max asked, raising an eyebrow while staring at the man.He smiled as he said "Nothing much. Well I was sent to meet you and invite you personally because we were sort of afraid that the invitation we sent you won't work. You've become a busy man so... it's easy to assume that you might not even have time to honour our invitation. So I came myself hoping to make you come and have you assure me to make it at least " He smiled.Max smiled as he sipped down the wine before hi
Days had gone by, and before one could even imagine it was already the weekend. And The day of the event arrived. Leo was already getting ready in his apartment. Katy helped him get ready as he brought the suits she had prepared for him."Are you sure you're going to go tonight? I mean I heard from Jakes that this event doesn't look too genuine. So I'm worried that it might not produce a lot of good outcomes. So I'm worried"she expressed.Leo smiled as he said "Don't worry about me, I already know what I'm up for, and I know how I'm going to handle it." he assured her with a kiss on her cheeks.She had no choice but to trust his words. He was always known to have his ways and do his thing. So she didn't stress too much about it. But rather kept his trust in him.Leo has gotten ready and left in his car. Jake was driving the car while he sat behind staring outside the window while admiring the night scenery along the way. Who would have thought that the journey wouldn't take too long
Keeping up with his part time job was a hard one. Especially When the boss doesn't even appreciate him for his effort.Being a cranky person in general, Leo's boss doesn't even miss a chance to talk down on him for every little thing."Why are you standing there doing nothing? Haven't you cleaned up the plates to be used to serve the customers?""Why are you dilly-dallying? don't you know you should hurry up and serve the Customers?"Leo couldn't tell exactly why it was so, but it already seemed that His boss had an automatic hatred towards him.Always wanting to exploit his efforts to do more and still bash him for making the slightest mistake of all. Leo didn't seem to be the type to bother talking back easily..He lived with it.The sound of the shattering plates from the kitchen was something which had now gotten the attention of his boss.Shocked, his boss had rushed over to the kitchen to see what it was all about now.Leo was on the phone and what he was hearing over the phone
Leo stared at her.. He didn't seem to like where this was heading to, Certainty because he felt that something was off.Having stayed with his Mother-in-law for while now.. He hadn't once had a pleasant memory of her..This woman sitting before him was a thorn to him and his Married life in multiple ways.He had only come to her out of his desperate situation to save his foster mother after all."And what is the condition you're trying to impose?" He questioned as Her mother in-law smiled.Her Mother in law had got out a file and pushed it across the table for Leo to see. It got to Leo's front as he slowly picked it up.Reading through the content, he was simply shocked at what he saw. "This is...""Yes it is. Divorce my daughter and get out of our life..Then I'll happily give you the money"Leo slowly looked up at her. Although he had known her for being a Thorn, this was actually the first time she had made such baffling request openly to him."And what's this supposed...""Can't you
Leo was beyond speech. He couldn't believe the level of being shameless which his Mother-in-law had ascended to. He had known her to be a cheap person, but not certain cheap to this level.This woman was literally selling her daughter for money and wasn't even wavering at the thought. Rather she was proud of her decision."I can then rest assured once it's you my future son-in-law. Unlike someone who Obviously can't offer anything solid, I know you can certainly take care of us. All that's need to be done is marrying off my daughter to you and all is done! So you... Don't waste my time and sign this""What do you think you're saying.. Ma'am?" Leo was too shocked at her mentality that he had to ask "Don't you know that you're selling off your daughter like this?"Leo was too offended that he continued lecturing her "This isn't right Ma'am. How can you do such a thing like scooping so low to selling off Your daugher all because of money? That's a disgusting thing to do"Mrs Watt now See
Leo had Called the line which didn't hesitate before someone picked up from the other end of the line."Hello? Who is this?" The male voice from the other end of the line questioned. Leo recognized the voice without hesitation.It was The senior butler of his Grandpa. He couldn't believe he was still working under his grandpa till this day..How loyal, he thought."Hello, It's me." He said Causally."You are...?" The senior butler was trying to understand who it was."Leo. The Grandson of Grandpa Ellison" He explained as the senior butler almost had his jaws dropped!He couldn't believe whom was calling him that he almost went down on his knees in shock even without Leo being presently there."Oh dear! Young Master! You actually Called. Oh gosh I never imagined you would." The senior butler was stunned. He never imagined he'd call back and therefore wasn't ready for this.But on the end while he was overjoyed by him calling, The senior butler hoped he was calling with an expected good
Leo couldn't understand what was happening at the moment.. He had inserted the card once again and it had said the same thing!The doctor had sighed with the belief that his hunch was right. He didn't believe that he could get the money quickly."What's... what's wrong.. with this...I'm sure it was sent" Leo was more confused than anyone. He couldn't believe his card wasn't working or something?"Let me try..." He requested again."Please sir! if you don't have the money you can go and get it. You have the time to do so, because when you do so then we shall begin the surgery." The doctor explained."But... I'm sure about the money..let me.." "Please sir we can't waste time with this. The card is clearly invalid. I don't know the trick you're trying to play but please know that I'm busy and have other patients to attend to. So don't disturb me and go get the money"Even if the doctor was trying to sound so nice, It was pretty much Obvious from a point of view that he was literally ann
