“HEIRLOOM? No. I’m sure that it came from my adoptive mother.” Damian’s brows furrowed, taking the clip from Veron’s hand. “She had been taking care of me for as long as I could remember. Although we’re not blood-related, I treated her like a real mother for showing kindness to me.”“I didn’t mean to offend you, son,” Veron explained, clearing out his intentions. “It just exactly looks like the Cornerstone family’s heirloom.”As he scanned the silver clip earlier, Veron found out that the heirloom was authentic. Even the texture and the gold glitter surrounding the clip were the same. Veron smiled bitterly as he remembered how Sabrina Cornerstone, his wife, always showed that clip to him proudly when they were together.“I will give this to Damian someday, so he can regain all of my family’s wealth, too,” Sabrina said, smiling as she stared at the clip. “Someday, he will inherit all our businesses, and no one will be able to hurt him. No one.”The Cornerstone family was one of the hig
“Why are you looking for me, you brat?” Damian asked, smiling widely as he saw how frustrated Dollie was. “You should have looked at your sister instead.”He took the bag Dollie threw earlier at him. It was a Hermes bag that cost ten thousand dollars, a gift from Cielo Medivien, Dollie’s sister and Damian’s former father-in-law, as she passed her examinations before, yet Dollie threw the bag away from him just like that.“Why would I? She's a dimwit!” Dollie replied, her lips pouting. “How could she do that to you? Jeez, that witch—”“Here,” Damian interrupted Dollie’s blabberings by giving her the bag. “Don’t just throw your bag like that next time. Tone down your attitude of being a spoiled brat, can’t you?” he added in a playful tone.“I’m not a spoiled brat!” Dollie pouted more. She looked annoyed and happy at the same time.Damian felt the same. He smiled genuinely, seeing that Dollie didn’t even change a single bit after not seeing each other for a long time. Dollie had stayed i
After hearing Damian's words, Charlotte laughed loudly. Her tears even started to fall as she couldn't take her laughter anymore.“Can you even hear what you're saying? You? Paying for my bags?” She looked at Damian from head to toe. “Do you even know how much a bag costs in this store?”“Bags outside cost at least one thousand dollars each, but bags here in the VIP section cost at least fifteen thousand.” Damian looked at Dollie and smiled. “Did I get it right?”“Yes!” Dollie smiled, but it immediately faded when Charlotte gripped her in the arm.“Stop smiling like an idiot in front of this man,” said Charlotte, gritting her teeth,m. “Did you hear what he had said? He'll pay for my bag. Do you
“Did I hear it right? That poor, dirty man, requested for the department manager’s presence to pay for the bags?”“Is he out of his mind? Did he think that it’s easy to summon the department manager just like that? Who do he think he is?”“HAHAHA! What a pathetic move! Poor people really don’t have shame, do they?”The whole area was suddenly filled with laughter and buzz after hearing Damian’s statement. All of them looked at Damian with disgust and disbelief, including Charlotte, who couldn’t help but sneer and shake her head.“I can’t believe you. Why don’t you just surrender and admit that you lost against me? You just need to beg me to forgive you,” said Charlotte with a mockin
Suddenly, Damian raised his hand and snapped it. A few seconds later, one of his bodyguards came. He was wearing a casual shirt and pants, but he still exuded the aura of being a bodyguard.“Call the department store director,” instructed Damian in an authoritative tone. “Tell him to fire the department manager and the cashier named Janna this instant. I also want to have some access to the CCTV footage for today. I lost my card. I need to find it.”“Yes, Sir.” The guard nodded and left the place quickly to execute Damian’s order.Damian’s gaze went to Charlotte, Rod, and Janna, and as soon as he did that, the three of them laughed loudly as they had just seen a ridiculous thing.“Oh my God! HAHAHAHA!” Charlotte
SEEING HOW Damian managed to fire Rod and Janna that quickly, Charlotte’s face went pale in nervousness. She didn’t know what she'd do now. For sure, everyone would kick her out of her friend circle if they knew that she stole an ordinary card.How come she didn’t notice that there was a CCTV camera in the VIP room? Charlotte didn’t know about it!“I’ll give you three seconds to choose. One…”Damian started counting, which made Charlotte’s heart race. Everyone’s attention was on her now, and all of them had a confused expression. They didn’t know what was happening yet since Damian only showed the footage to her, but she still felt humiliated!“Two…” As Ava hung up the call, Jasmine, an employee, placed the phone back in its place. “Miss Ava said she'll go here, and that you're dead meat once it happens.”Damian smirked, expecting that answer from Ava. He knew Ava would be pissed because he, of all people, had summoned her in a threatening way. But this was the only way he could talk to her about Dollie.“Here are the documents you requested,” Jasmine said, handing Damian some piles of documents. “It included all the expenses for your graduating year in your university and your academic scholarship status.”Damian opened the file and scanned it. Although he had just recently trained at Mid-Centuries Elegance Events as an intern, the experience helped him a lot to notice some abnormalities in the document.The Fallen Son-In-Law's Retaliation Chapter 24: Breakdown of Expenses
THE TENSION arose in the air as Ava and Damian started to each other. They were like in a staring contest, intimidating one another so one of them would admit defeat.But no one did… Not until Damian looked away.It’s not because he was afraid of Ava. Rather, Damian was more afraid of what he could do if his patience reached the limit. His movement caused Ava to smirk.“A complaint? Who would believe you?” Ava asked, her voice laced with intimidation. “I am the fucking higher-up, Damian. I am a part of the Medivien family. You know what I am capable of, and you know how I can bury this conversation right here, right now…”Ava stepped forward, narrowing the distance between her and Damian. She admits it, she was afraid of
