“Fine. I signed the agreement in my vulnerable moment, and I have learned my lesson,” Diana admitted.“Good girl! Get the contract right away,” Lady Margarita said.The others marveled at how Lady Margarita eventually won the argument. She smiled mischievously, forgetting the bigger reason she had called the meeting. West was near tears. Her hope for a better rank in the family was about to be dashed. For once, she regretted pressuring her daughter into making such a decision.“On one condition…” Diana declared.Ralph smiled knowingly. Soon, his grandmother-in-law would have no choice but to ask him questions. The others were eager to hear the condition.“Condition? There’s no other condition attached to the agreement,” Lady Margarita clarified.“If Andre cannot keep to his vow, I have no reason to give him the contract,” Diana announced.“Andre? Vow? What vow?” Bridget asked.“Ask Ralph!” Diana replied.Lady Margarita turned to Ralph, who did not budge. She was confused about Diana’s
Two days later, Diana arrived at the headquarters of Rovers Group to submit the signed contract. Richard Anderson welcomed her into his office, where the other directors were already seated. As Diana entered, Victor couldn't conceal his contemptuous glare at Richard. He couldn't shake off the feeling that he should have been the one addressing the other directors, not Richard. Secretly, he yearned to uncover why Richard was chosen over him by Mr. R.R."I present to you the latest and the most beautiful model in town, Ms. Diana Summers," announced Richard.The others clapped, some willingly, some reluctantly. No one dared to question the criteria used in selecting Diana, who hadn't even applied for modeling at Rovers. They clapped, unsure if the anonymous boss was observing their reactions from his secret office."Emily, ensure she models the latest designs from Rovers Fashion and have the publicity team feature her pictures in the news as the newest addition to our models. In fact, pr
"What does she want?" Gerald asked."She's investigating, and she’s serious with it for her to come all the way down here on a work day. I didn't expect her to come here," Ralph replied."She's quite persistent. What's our next move?" Gerald inquired."We need to postpone the delivery. It must not arrive while she's here, or she'll put one and two together and realize the two Ralph Ross is the same person," Ralph instructed, dialing the bicycle shop's number on his phone."I won't be available to receive the delivery. Please reschedule it for another time," he informed the person on the other end before hanging up.The doorbell rang again."Is she going to stay there indefinitely?" Gerald wondered."It seems likely. She's determined, and I doubt she'll leave until she either sees someone or gives up," Ralph replied."So, we're stuck here until she leaves," Gerald concluded."Yes, she's now aware of you, and she's suspicious of me. I can't risk her discovering my true identity. I'll ne
Summers Luxury Automobiles was anything but serene as Bridget drove onto the premises. Determined to reach Andre through one of the workers who had been relaying messages, she felt the weight of Lady Margarita's ultimatum hanging over her. “If that boy doesn't show his face in this mansion within 48 hours, he can kiss his position goodbye. I'll reinstate a more competent Summers to deal with the mess we're in!” Lady Margarita's threat rang in Bridget's ears, urging her to find Andre at any cost. She couldn't bear the thought of Lionel or Liam taking Andre's place. Despite her efforts to track his whereabouts, Andre remained elusive. He ignored her calls and even hung up when she tried calling from a hidden number. She was not aware of any girlfriend of his. Sometimes, she wondered if he would never bring a girl home. He seemed determined to remain hidden. Frustrated, Bridget muttered to herself, “That boy is as stubborn as his useless father,” as she hurried out of her car to invest
Diana was recounting her first day at Rovers Fashion to Ralph when West stormed in as usual. “Mom, can you please stop barging into our room like this? It’s an invasion of our privacy,” Diana complained. “I can’t enter my daughter’s room now? Is that what you’re saying?” West countered. “This isn’t just my room, it’s my husband’s and mine. There should be boundaries,” Diana insisted. “I see why you’re talking to me like that. You’re the boss now, fine. But don’t forget to buy me the Elysian Diamond Necklace you got for your grandmother when you receive your first paycheck. It’s my turn to enjoy,” West said. “Mom, are you even sure her first paycheck will be enough for such an expensive necklace?If you are not careful, you will make her broke again.” Ralph interjected. “Is it your money? I’m speaking to my daughter, not you. And Diana, you have to deal with that little loser in your tummy before Lady Margarita exposes you as she promised today. Please don’t let them win. We can’t
Lady Margarita's shock at Diana's newfound prominence was clearly spelt on her face as she watched the news unfold. The sight of Diana being presented with a customized Rovers Luxuria stirred a mix of disbelief and resentment within her."Imagine this girl that was the least important in the family now gaining popularity fast. The way things are going, I'll have to make friends with her since she's now the apple of the eye of this anonymous CEO," she muttered to herself, contemplating the shifting dynamics."Are you speaking to me, my Lady?" one of the workers cleaning the living room cautiously inquired."No!" Lady Margarita snapped, her irritation evident. "Just do what you have to do and get out!"The worker, visibly intimidated, hastened to comply, eager to avoid further confrontation.Just then, West entered the room with an air of purpose, as if searching for something."Hi, mother," she greeted, but Lady Margarita remained silent, her attention fixed on the television screen wh
When Diana arrived in her new Rovers Luxuria, West staged a spectacle to further humiliate her in-laws, who felt intimidated by Diana’s rapid success. They watched from different locations as West praised Diana with pride, unable to hide their disdain for her progress. Lady Margarita observed with scorn, knowing that her joy would soon be short-lived once her plan was executed.To add insult to injury, Ralph arrived shortly after Diana, riding a new classy bicycle.“Wait! Where is that wretched bicycle of yours? I’m only just noticing its absence,” West remarked.“How observant of you to notice now!” Ralph retorted as he parked his new bicycle next to Diana’s luxury car.“What! Take that thing away from my daughter’s luxury car. Can’t you see they don’t belong in the same category?” West exclaimed, causing Bridget and Wendell to burst into laughter.“Let Diana tell me to move it herself. Besides, they are both new. So, why don’t they belong together?” Ralph questioned.“Diana, tell hi
Lady Margarita raised an eyebrow at Dean's assertion, not appreciating his sense of entitlement, especially considering his lack of tangible contribution to the family business. All he had done was supervise car deliveries to the company.But it appeared that what Ralph had said to him earlier had created a new consciousness in him."Being the first grandchild doesn't automatically qualify you for the position, Dean," Lady Margarita countered. "We need someone with proven leadership skills and a strong business acumen."Bony nodded in agreement. "I believe Diana would be a better fit. She's Mr. R.R.’s favorite and could recover our lost partnership. Besides, her rapidly growing popularity will help the business grow quickly.”They all turned to look at Bony, the least expected to have made that statement. Wendell couldn't hide her displeasure at her husband recommending Diana instead of Lionel or Liam.Dean scoffed. "Diana? She's just a model. What does she know about running a busine
