Chapter 51 “You came unexpectedly, I hope everything is well.” Uncle John asked. Michael shook his head. “Everything is fine.” He paused and took a deep breath before adding. “I'm here to inform you that I'm planning on getting remarried,” Michael said. And Uncle John looked at him in disbelief. Does he really want to remarry? The Michael he knows too well had been madly in love with Rose so why don't he use his power and influence to get her back? He was dumbfounded for a moment before he asked. “You want to remarry?” He asked and Michael nodded his head lightly. “Have you thought about this very well? And are you well convinced that you can move on without Rose?” Rose was indeed one of the beauties in the town of Maple. Whenever the beautiful ladies are mentioned, she probably will be mentioned. “Rose? I don't care about her anymore. She treated me like I was nobody and she doesn't deserve to be with me after everything.” Michael's face turned sour. “I think or s
Chapter 52 “Good morning, sir. You called for me?” The senior guard rushed to where Michel was. He bowed his head and asked. Michael was dressed in a tattered cloth but this time, it was a different wear. It was red trousers and a white shirt, but it wasn't like the old wear. He was planning on taking a walk around the town in a low-key manner. So putting on the clothes he was wearing was enough to make people look down on him. “Yes, I want you to drive me out. I want to take a walk around the town.” The bodyguard raised his eyebrows. “But sir, are you going out in these clothes?” He asked, knowing that he could afford much more than a million-dollar cloth. “Is there anything wrong with what I'm wearing? Don't humans wear it? Am I not a human too?” He frowned. And the bodyguard shook his head, his face displaying his apologetic state. “I'm sorry sir, but….” He tried to explain himself but was shouted at. “Keep that to yourself and get me out of here immediately,” Micha
Chapter 53He pulled down his shabby clothes well with his bathroom slippers and headed there. As he got there, he managed to force himself through the crowd and entered into their midst.The people that he saw that caught his attention were a woman and a girl child; probably, the child was this woman's daughter. They were both crying non-stop with their knees on the ground, begging an arrogant man who never paid attention to them.This man was ordering some young men to pack out unidentified properties from the house.“Throw her out. Throw her out, throw her out.” The crowd was echoing with grins. Michael stood speechless, watching as the whole scene was unfolding in his front. He was confused and couldn't know what to do. But the weeping of the woman and her child kept making him feel restless. He tried to hold himself but couldn't. “What's happening here?” His voice echoed out, overshadowing everyone's voices. Astonished, everywhere became calm. All heads turned in his directi
Chapter 54“Young man, you're under arrest, and you have all the right to remain silent, or whatever you say or do will be used against you in the court of law.” He commanded and a hint of disgust formed on his face as his eyes glanced from Michael's head down to his toe.“Why would someone want to arrest someone like him?” He thought to himself.“Under arrest? For what?” Michael queried with a smile that ran on his face. His voice was resolute and everyone looked at each other, wondering what even gave him such an audacity to speak.The policeman's hand ceased at what seemed to be a shock to him. “What are you waiting for? Get him arrested.” The man's contemptuous voice echoed and the other policemen joined the first to get Michael handcuffed.However, his words came out again which astonished them. “You dare not touch me if you don't want to lose your positions.” Everyone, including the man and the policemen, looked at him, feeling amazed. Michael was speaking in such a way that h
Chapter 54The man brought out his phone from his pocket and checked. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. It was supposed to be three figures but he was instead seeing four figures.His eyes widened in shock and fear as he looked at Michael. “Sir? It's supposed to be $500 but you send $1,000 instead.” The man was stunned.Michael nodded his head in agreement. “Just keep it to yourself.” He didn't allow the man to thank him when he turned, glancing down at the woman and her child. “It's settled, please get up.” He leaned and helped the child while the woman gave him a warm and appreciative smile.She stood up and was lost in the best words to use in thanking him for rescuing her from financial embarrassment. “Thank you so much, sir, for coming through for me and my daughter when all hope was gone. Thank you si…”“Please, stop calling me sir.” Michael pointed out as he snapped her off from her words. The woman was old enough to become his mother so she wasn't allowed to call him
Chapter 56 The driver allowed her to finish talking. He took a deep breath before revealing. “Don't worry, Mom will be fine because I have the complete payment for her treatment with me and I'm sending it right now.” “What do you mean by that? Do you have the money with you already? So fast? How's that possible?” Sean's younger sister panicked. She very sure that her brother wasn't doing any work that would earn him such a huge amount of money since he was just a driver. Sean cleared his throat and began to narrate. “Kid sis, you see…I have been driving for years now and have nothing to show for it from all the masters I served…” He paused and pressed on. “But to God be the glory, I fell into a good man who's recently been my boss. I never told him about Mom's health but he noticed my countenance and was worried. He asked me what the matter was and when I told him…” He took a break again, letting his sister's ears itch for more. “And then? What happened after that?” He c
Chapter 57Fuelling up the whole tension, Fred said. “There's only one person that could probably do this.” He said firmly. Everyone's eyes raised their eyebrows, looking at him as he spoke confidently.He added with an accusation. “It's no other than that filthy rag called Michael. He's probably trying to ruin the name of this company just because Rose had divorced him out of her life for good.”He summed up even when he wasn't sure of what he was saying. He was blaming the whole thing on innocent Michael. After he finished talking, Stephen convincingly looked at him. He was seeing the facts in what Fred had just said.Following suit, Joseph and his mother, Maria, began to nod their heads with their eyes blinking at the same time. “This is nothing but the truth.” They fumfered to themselves. Meanwhile, Rose gently shook her head, finding it difficult to believe.Although she had hated Michael and will continue to hate him, she hadn't known him as someone who could do something as
Chapter 58 He hadn't even entered the store when he heard a sarcastic voice from behind him. “Hey, aren't you Michael, the useless son-in-law of the Stephen family? What are you looking for in such a place like this?” A man shouted at him with a disgusted expression, and Michael turned, his face twisted in a frown. But he shook his head gently, trying not to be angry. He looked at the man and refused to say a word. He knew he was known as the popular broke son-in-law of the Stephen family in that area so he wasn't surprised to be known by this man. “Do you know him?” A friend of the man asked him. The man nodded. “Yeah, of course. He's the wretched son-in-law of Stephen's family who can't provide for either his wife or his in-laws.” He said and his friend laughed off his ass before asking, “Seriously? This is the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life. Oh my gosh, a grown man like this can't provide for his family? What, then, is he doing here?” “I don't know.
