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
Chapter 152 A few minutes later, Morgan arrived inside the manager's office, his expression filled with positivity. The manager, seeing him, got up from his seat and coldly handed an envelope to him. “Go through it.” He said and sat emotionless. Morgan breathed out, looking at the manager whose face demonstrated no expression before glancing at the white envelope. Without asking the manager any questions, Morgan unwrapped the envelope silently and carefully. His expression was adulterated with confusion and uncertainty as he read the contents of what was written down on a paper. “A sack letter?” His face and voice went pale as he looked up from the paper, landing his glance on the manager who confirmed by nodding his head. “Morgan, we're sorry, but we don't need you anymore for the sake of the well-being of the company.” The manager said in a sad tone. Morgan saw tears welling up from his eyes and he tried to hold them back, “But why, sir? Haven't I been doing my job we
Chapter 153 Meanwhile, around four in the evening, a sleek yet out-dated Benz drove into a compound. And a man swayed out of the car, shuffling his feet with slow and deliberate steps. He was lacking energy and enthusiasm as he walked. He placed his eyes down, avoiding any eye contact, and his clothes were tatteredly arranged as the buttons of his shirt were opened, exposing his chest. He paced back and front, feeling trapped with a car key in his hand. His heart raced with turmoil and his shoulders slumped as he struggled to believe what had happened in his place of work. This man was no other than Morgan, the man who had just been sacked from his workplace following Michael's order. “What am I going to do? Where am I going to get such a well-paying job from?” His eyes blinked, causing the light of the day to grow dim in his sight. “Michael?” He recalled, feeling stuck in his movement. “What power or influence does he have that made the manager throw me out of the compa
