Chapter 68Rose looked around before focusing on Fred. Her voice was curious as she asked. “Fred, why have you brought me here?” She asked, sounding curious.Fred, first of all, admired her beauty for a moment before he dropped the glass of wine on the table.He cleared his throat as he began to speak, his voice carrying affection. “Rose, have you thought about what I told you earlier? Have you gotten an answer to give to me? You know how much I Love you, I'm willing to do anything impossible just for you.” Rose looked at him, feeling a hint of anger that started building up in her. It felt like she was slowly losing her respect for this Fred of a guy.However, she managed to maintain her angry composure, forcing a smile onto her face. “I know you're willing to support me, Fred but I'm just not ready yet.” Fred sighed at her response, his face a frown. “You don't need to think about it much. I have everything it takes to look after you and your family. And if getting your company's
Chapter 69“Thank God you picked it up.” An eagerly awaited voice came from the other end of the call. “Who are you?” Michael asked, bringing his voice low and his tone.“Sir, it's me, Franklin. I got attacked by some thugs, and my phone was snatched away, so I had to register a new sim. That's why I'm calling you with it.” “What? Attacked?” Michael's voice peaked as he stood up from where he was sitting with so much force. The bodyguards that were standing behind him rushed to him.“Sir, what's wrong? Are you okay?” The bodyguard with a huge body stature asked immediately, but Michael nodded his head and raised his hand at him to stop.The bodyguard paused and took a deep breath. “Were you in any way hurt?” Michael asked, his voice was filled with worry as all his attention focused on the phone.“No, sir. I'm fine. I wasn't hurt. I just realized that they were actually after my phone and you know how expensive that is.” Franklin said from the other end of the call, pausing.And Mi
Chapter 70 You're very lucky, sir. I believe your life will change for the better.” He said to Michael and Michael forced a smile. “What did he say?” “My Boss isn't around but my Madam is. She said you may come in," The gateman said. Michael nodded with a smile, thinking it was White's wife. He dragged his electric bike along with him as he strode inside the compound. The gateman opened his mouth in awe, seeing the electric bike. That moment was the first time he saw the electric bike with Michael because Michael had parked it beside the main gate. The gateman stared at Michael, unbelievable. Although he didn't know the price of the electric bike in the market, he was very sure and confident that its cost was definitely high. As he stared at Michael, he totally forgot what was at hand. He was supposed to close the gate. “Hey, can you take me inside?” Michael snapped his finger at the gateman, bringing him out of his daydreaming. “Oh, I'm sorry.” The gateman immediate
Chapter 71 She finally accepted that it was her father who was responsible, knowing fully well that Michael was incapable of doing anything. He was just a brave coward anyway. “My Dad is responsible and so what? What can you do? Huh?” Cordelia shot, moving closer to Michael. “Oh, I see…I knew I wasn't wrong but mark my words, you all won't get away with it.” Michael warned, pointing his finger at Cordelia but Cordelia continued to laugh at him. “Just keep your empty threats to yourself and get out of this place now!” She shouted. “Fine, I'll leave but note, you aren't going to get the contract you seek for the Golden Group of Companies as long as I'm in position.” Michael's words carried a lot of weight but Cordelia ignored his words, which sounded funny to her ears. “Look at you, just take a look at yourself. You're a man without mission and vision. Just full of empty threats. Now, tell me; do you even know the road to Golden Group of Companies?” She blasted and Mic
Chapter 72 “What do you want to do, Dad?” Cordelia asked sharply, but he ignored her and dialed a number whose ID was saved as ‘Officer Joshua.’ After several rings, the call connected and White said. “Officer, I need you right away,” White said and abruptly ended the call, turned to Cordelia, and replied. “I'm getting that guy arrested for false accusation and also for having the guts to come here and have you threatened. He deserves to be locked up behind bars.” Immediately he said that, a flash of how Michael had once punched him ran through Paul's eyes. He felt bittered but his demeanor changed to that of excitement as he chimed in for the first time. “Yes, father-in-law, that fool doesn't deserve any place among humans. He should be isolated.” He said with so much hate in him. Turning the matter around to something different, Sandra squeezed her face, saying. “I don't see any reason why we should be wasting our precious time on someone who isn't valuable. Anyways, you
Chapter 73 They walked all together, heading outside. Maria was the one in front and as they got to the door, Maria stretched out her hand and twisted the door open.And as it twisted open, two figures stood right in front of them and they were taken aback. “Police?”They were all shocked to see two policemen standing in front of the door. What could they be looking for? They all thought.Stephen managed to maintain his comportment as he approached the policemen. “Good day, officers.” He greeted them respectfully and extended his hand for a handshake.“Good day, Mr. Stephen.” The policemen responded but declined his handshake. Stephen sighed, feeling embarrassed but he made it unnoticeable. He looked at the officers who were busy looking at both Fred and Joseph, wondering which one of them was Michael.Fred and Joseph noticed the mounted pressure that was on them and they smartly changed from their positions.Meanwhile, as all these were going on, White, Cordelia, and Paul hadn't re
Chapter 74 An hour later, the policemen returned with a hefty breath. They shook their heads at White. “Sir, we have searched the whole room and there's no one inside.” “No one? Are you sure you have checked the whole place and you can't find him?” White asked, feeling panicked. The policemen nodded at the same time, their words unshaken. “Yes, sir. We did but we couldn't find anyone.” They affirmed. “Dad, I think they must have hidden him somewhere in the house.” Cordelia stepped forward and said, after a long time of being silent. Joseph frowned at her words. He also stepped forward and shot. “And what makes you think we would hide such a disgusting person inside our rooms?” “Then where is he? Why isn't he here if you claim so?” Paul triggered at Joseph, sharply. “Were you deaf when Mr. Stephen said Michael was no longer his son-in-law?” Fred replied rudely. Paul shook his head. “I don't believe any one of you. If Michael is no longer the son-in-law of this house t
Chapter 75 “I have so many things in common with him. So many things.” Rose replied. “And I don't want anything to happen to him because he's the father of my unborn child.” She rubbed her fingers on her stomach. “Unborn child?” Everyone was stunned. Grandma Isabella, though, felt unease and swallowed hard, allowing a slight smile to display on her face. At least, Rose had finally gotten the boldness to say it and that was what mattered to her. On the other hand, Stephen acted like something immediately blocked his ears and pretended that he didn't hear what Rose just said. He looked at Rose, his expression entwined with both anger and curiosity. “Rose? You're what?” Rose was quiet for some time, noticing his father's anger. However, she shook off the fear that instantly gripped her. “Dad, I'm pregnant.” She replied. “And who did you say is the father?” Stephen asked immediately. “I'm sorry but Michael is the—” Rose didn't get to finish what she wanted to say. She wanted to
