Chapter Seventy-five:"Lady Megan Stevens, all investors and investments of the Lucas Group are now being deployed out of your company, the Stevens Global Group, and pushed to Melissa Stevens.""Since you and your family decided to banish Melissa Stevens from the family, we had a meeting with the investors and venture capitalists, and they all decided to only put their money wherever Melissa Stevens goes."Lord George Lucas' voice was laced with authority and determination.The sun was shining brightly at the beachfront house, adding to the intensity of the moment.Lady Megan Stevens' jaw dropped in a mixture of confusion and anxiety. She immediately stared askance at Denise Stevens and Eunice Stevens.'How did this go against me all of a sudden?'Her thoughts raced vehemently as she stared at Eunice and Denise Stevens."Lady Megan Stevens, your decision to banish Melissa Stevens was the catalyst for this.""The board of trustees at the Lucas Group and supporting investors couldn't s
Lady Megan Stevens took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. "Lord George Lucas has decided to withdraw all investments from the Stevens Global Group and transfer them to Melissa." She explained, her voice trembling."And on top of that, he's suing the Stevens Global Group for five billion dollars for breach of contract."Lady Megan Stevens' voice was laced with fear and anxiety.Eunice Stevens and Denise Stevens exchanged bewildered glances. "But why? Why would he do this?" Eunice demanded, her voice rising with each word and dripping down with fear.Lady Megan Stevens stared at both Eunice Stevens and Denise Stevens before continuing. "It's because we banished Melissa Stevens and her mom from the Stevens family."Lady Megan Stevens's voice was heavy with regret. "The investors and venture capitalists believe in her vision, and they won't support us anymore because of how we treated her."Denise shook her head in disbelief. "This is unbelievable. How could everything fall ap
Eunice Stevens and Denise Stevens were already at the door when Lady Megan Stevens collapsed and fainted.Staring at the situation with fear, they both yelled out Lord and soon the family doctor, Doctor Raul, immediately tried to manage the issue but all to no avail, he immediately suggested that Lady Megan Stevens be moved to St. Johnson's hospital for further treatment. At St. Johnson Hospital, all the doctors were busy due to the large inflow of patients.In ward eleven on the seventh floor of the gigantic hospital complex, the beep of hospital instruments was heard loudly.Lady Megan Stevens lay on the bed as the doctors attended to her."Doctor, will she be okay?" Eunice Stevens asked as she dabbed her eyes slowly with the white handkerchief in her hand.If grandmother died now, they‘d have to pay back those huge compensation amounts. She didn't want her life to be ruined like this.The situation was intense and palpable.The doctor, a tall, distinguished man with a kind yet se
"I didn’t mean for things to spiral out of control."Lady Megan Stevens's voice was laced with remorse and regret for all her actions towards Melissa Stevens and her mom and even little Chloe Maxwell."Protect?" Gerald’s tone was incredulous."Mom, can you just hear yourself?!""You acted impulsively. You didn’t think about how this would affect everyone else.""We need Melissa Stevens and her mother on our side, and now you’ve driven a wedge between us.""How is that lady ever going to want to see our faces and help us out again, after all you have done to her, Max and Mrs Sophia?"Gerald Stevens was really infuriated by the whole thing and how it's all turning out against them so fast.Lady Megan Stevens tried to keep her composure but her voice was still trembling. "Gerald, please listen to me, I didn’t realize it would come to this.""I thought I was deciding the family’s best interest at the time I made my decision."Lady Megan Stevens's voice was laced with remorse as tears thr
Meanwhile, in Melissa Stevens's home, Melissa Stevens and her mom sat on one of the sofas as they both stared at the phones ringing loudly.Mrs Sophia couldn't bear the noisy ringing of her phone, she tried to put the device in silence but the smartphone wasn't responding.Out of anger, she immediately switched off the phone and tossed it on the Sofa violently.Her face was etched with frustration and anger as she stared out the glass window and onto the empty streets of the slums they were living in."I really don't get Lady Megan Stevens!""Why is she even calling us?!"Mrs Sophia Stevens's voice was laced with anger."I mean after all the humiliations and suffering she caused us, how dare she call now?""What the hell does she and her family want from us again?!""I thought she banished us from her family.""Why is she suddenly calling us so anxiously as if her life depends on it?!"Her voice trembled with rage and anger.Melissa stared at the phone her mother just tossed. She didn
As the car packed by the parking lot, the chauffeur immediately opened the door and gave them directions where to head to.Mrs Sophia Stevens and Melissa Stevens were kind of surprised at the level of reception they had just received.They were expecting to be hassled and thrown away, but so far so good.They had now entered the main reception area of the popular and phenomenal Lovers Lake Suites.Staring around the main building of the ultra-modern luxury suites, Melissa Stevens and Mrs Sophia Stevens were beyond wowed at the amount of money and attention to detail that the owner and designer of the Lovers Lake Suites had put into bringing the Lovers Lake Suites to life.The suite had an opulent grandeur that left Melissa and Mrs Sophia Stevens in awe.Some people in Westerville calls the Lovers Lake Suites the eighth wonder of the world."Mom, can you look at those walls, such perfection and attention to detail.""The architects who designed this building should be immortalized."Mr
Justin Dwight is the son of Lord Dwight, another feared top elite figure in the whole of Westerville.He had come to dine with his fiance at the Lovers Lake Suites.Everyone in Westerville feared the Dwight family, especially because of how ruthless and mean Lord Dwight was especially to his enemies, his popular term for his enemies was infidels.The suit's fabric Justin Dwight wore had a subtle sheen, making a clear testament to its superior craftsmanship.Beneath his jacket, he wore a crisp white dress shirt with a high collar and French cuffs, fastened with gold cufflinks that bore the Dwight family crest.Justin Dwight's dark hair was slicked back, revealing a chiselled jawline and piercing blue eyes that missed nothing. On his left wrist, he wore a platinum Rolex, which was a symbol of his wealth and status, its face glinting in the soft light of the suite.His polished black leather shoes completed his outfit, their mirror-like shine reflecting the opulent surroundings.When he
"Who the hell is in charge of this place?!""How on earth did you leave your doors open to these low-life animals?!"Justin Dwight's voice was laced with mockery and disdain as the laughter from the crowds whom was intimidated by Justin Dwight increased.The henchmen who surrounded Max Xanderson and Melissa Stevens' family started laughing out loud.Apparently, Justin Dwight was good at making jokes before his death.Max Xanderson stared at the whole crowd which had joined in mocking him and his family.He could only feel pretty sorry for them all."Seriously, Max, you and your poor family don't even deserve to be cleaners here!""I mean take a good look at yourself!""I can tell that all the clothes and accessories you are putting on aren't worth up to one thousand dollars."His words were laced with derision and mockery as Melissa Stevens felt tears welling down her eyes slowly.Mrs Sophia Stevens, Melissa Stevens's mom furrowed her eyebrows in bewilderment.She had never expected a
