Chapter 144Just after Ella finished unwrapping the package, she staggered back, “Gold jewelry?” She muttered in shock, looking at the sparkling and mind-blowing gold jewelry. Her eyes blinked as she stared at it and her eyes shifted to Michael, “A gold jewelry? Where did you get it from?” She asked.Michael smiled, “From a jewelry store, of course. Where else do they sell it?” He asked.Ella wore a frown. She said, “That's not what I mean! My question is where did you get the money to buy it?” Her expression was filled with startlement.Michael was about to respond to her but then, the onlooker started to talk.“Oh, wow! That's the most expensive gold jewelry in a jewelry store.” One man said, “I took my wife to buy her that exact type, but the price was somewhat frightening, so I have to leave it and get her the silver jewelry instead.” He added, his eyes were wide open, envying the gold jewelry. “As for me, I have no intention of going to the jewelry store any time soon.” Another
Chapter 145 Immediately the sales clerk asked that the doziness that had earlier formed in Michael's eyes were driven away. Michael frowned his face but later on, smiled with the thought that the sales clerk might have probably forgotten his face, maybe since she attends to numerous customers. He maintained his comportment and explained himself, “Don't tell me that you don't remember me.” Michael smiled slightly, “Anyways, I'm the guy who bought the gold jewelry. I made a transfer, and it was successful, but you said you didn't see it. I then made use of my ATM card.” He explained everything to the sales clerk briefly, unaware that she was putting on an act and that she vividly remembered him. “You were even the one who suggested that I should give you my number so that you will call me once you see the money.” Michael continued and then paused, “Do you remember me now?” He asked. However, the sales clerk stuck to her fake act, “I don't know what you're talking about.” S
Chapter 146 The sales clerk smiled inside of her and said as she nodded her head, “Nice. It's working.” She then faked an angry face to continue with her act. Michael threw a fierce stare at the sales clerk, knowing she was acting but then looked at the manager, “How could you be so fast in judging someone? I bought gold jewelry from her. I transferred the money, but there was a network issue, so I had to pay with my card, telling her that I'd come back for the money once it dropped, and it has.” Michael quickly brought out his phone to back up his claim. He tried to show it to the manager but he was too angry to even look at him. “Enough!” He stopped Michael from getting close to him. “I don't want to hear any more words from you.” He paused and continued. “You want me to believe in your forged lies? Huh? How real does your story sound? You bought gold jewelry and made a transfer with your phone and when there was a network problem, you paid with your card and left without w
Chapter 147The manager's patience grew slim, having waited for the sales clerk's response. He was about to walk to her and beat her up again but the sales clerk quickly got up and said, “Yes, I'll tell the truth.” She nodded her head heavily.The manager then paused and pressed, “Now, say it!” He yelled.“I—I…..converted the first payment into my account.” She stuttered, shedding tears.The manager and Michael turned and looked at each other, both shocked. “You did what?” The manager asked.“I transferred the payment he made first into the account after it came in.” The sales clerk said in a shaky voice, still trying to steady her voice.“That means he actually made the payment?” The manager became more shocked. This simply means that the man who was with him right there in the shop was extremely rich to have made such payment and move.The sales clerk nodded her head, “Yes, sir. He wasn't lying. He actually did as he had said.” She confirmed.“And you?” The manager shot angrily at h
Chapter 148 Meanwhile, at Stephen Manor, Grandma Isabella had been standing at the back of Rose when she was on call with Ella, and after she finished, she asked, “Was that Ella?” Rose turned around while sitting on the sofa, she released a relieved smile, nodding her head, “Yes, Grandma. She was the one.” Grandma Isabella returned her smile, noticing her happiness, “I can see how happy you look now. But why has she not been coming over to the house? Is she alright?” Grandma Isabella had no idea that Ella had been thrown out of her home by her husband. The other day when Rose visited Ella's home and came back sad, she didn't tell her about the incident. Rose sighed, her expression turning into frustration, “Yes, she's fine but now single. Her husband had her thrown out of the home because of her barrenness.” She explained briefly. “What?” Grandma Isabella was taken aback, “He did that to her? Oh, poor Ella, who knows how she's doing.” She exclaimed, bitterly. She shook
Chapter 149Just after his first knock, the gate was creaked open and a gate guard walked out. His eyes glanced at Michael, “Good afternoon, sir. Please, what do you want?” “I want to see the manager here,” Michael replied confidently and words knew no stammering. The gate guard looked at Michael from head down to toe. The frontman was not even dressed richly, and he was saying he wanted to see his Boss.The gate guard was surprised because the man didn't even look like one who could afford to buy materials there.As a result, he hesitated for a moment, looking at Michael with a disdainful look, “Do you have any appointment with him?” He asked.Michael shook his head and replied, “No.” The gate guard didn't say any further word, he pulled out his phone and made a call and after the call rang for a few minutes, the person from the other end answered.“Is it one of those random guys looking for work to do?” A soft voice came through, asking. The man was already aware without being to
Chapter 150 Michael's words sounded serious to Morgan but he chuckled instead, “What for? And why should I take you to him when you have no business deal?” He asked, mockingly. Michael grinned, shrugging, “Who knows if I'm here for something else.” He said, Morgan chuckled lightly for the second time, “Something else?” He asked. “Does it look like we do something else apart from selling building materials, machines, and lots more here?” He paused, narrowing his eyes into Michael's, and then continued, “Besides, this place is only meant for people who have lands and ongoing building projects and not for people who can't even feed themselves.” Michael understood the direction of Morgan's words, however, he pressed, looking solemn, “So, I can see the manager now! Maybe when I'm done, you'll know the reason why I came here.” He said, “Hmm. Whatever!” Morgan said, carefree. “But make sure you aren't going to beg, or you'll see yourself being beaten and thrown out.” He added as
Chapter 151Though she wasn't carrying his child, Fred still loved Rose because of her beauty, so he interrupted, shaking his head, “You don't have to get rid of the pregnancy, I'll look after the child.” Grandma Isabella frowned, “How shameless are you to think of taking care of someone's child? Aren't there beautiful ladies outside there that you can get married to? Must it be Rose?” Stephen, who had been silent and inwardly excited that his daughter had made such a good decision, said, defending, “Mom, this is all about my daughter's life and grandchild. You don't expect her to stay single for the rest of her life.”He then turned to Rose with a pleased smile, “I'm glad you have let the spear he cast on you break off.” He was referring to Michael. “I have forgiven you.” He added and gestured at her to come to hug him.Rose nodded and stood up. Stephen and her both hugged each other warmly, “Thank you, Dad.” She said and slowly pulled back.“You're welcome.” They both sat back in
