The next morning, Melissa Stevens, Mrs Sophia and Max Xanderson arrived at the Stevens Fort and proceeded immediately to the anteroom to wait for the meeting with Lady Megan Stevens.Immediately Lady Megan Stevens walked into the anteroom followed by Eunice, Bryan, Denise and Logan Stevens.They were all walking behind her like obedient servants."What a circus show."Max Xanderson muttered to himself as he forced himself not to burst into laughter.Sitting down in her usual high seat made of Vicuna wool, the most expensive wool in the world, Lady Megan Stevens signals to everyone to take their seats."So Melissa Stevens, I heard you were able to win the whole two billion dollar contract from the grand general's bidding event…Do you have the contract with you as I requested?"Lady Megan Stevens' voice was laced with authority as she spoke.Melissa Stevens immediately stared at her mom before nodding slowly, "Yes Grandma, I have the contract just as you requested."Melissa Stevens repl
The situation was intense and palpable as Melissa Stevens stared askance at Lady Megan Stevens.'Why is she always like this, always pretending not to know what she is doing?'Melissa Stevens' thoughts went on a rampage.Mrs Sophia Stevens was already infuriated from the first time she stepped into the Stevens Fort today.Staring at the face of Lady Megan Stevens, she felt like smacking it with the back of her hand."Lady Megan Stevens, Melissa is asked after what you promised us!""You gave us your word that you would return the Walters Enterprise to us.""Don't forget the part where you also promised to reinstate Melissa Stevens back into the Walters Enterprise and Stevens Global Group and to pay her all her arrears since you all threw her out of the family company for no just reason.""Again, Mr Walter Stevens Twenty-five percent shares in the Stevens Global Group, you promised to return every damn thing!""Here I have everything you said all recorded on this audio tape, should you
"One more thing before it slips my mind, Melissa Stevens, your dad's twenty-five percent shares are actually not with Stevens Global Group.""Mr Walter Stevens Twenty-five percent shares are actually with one of our subsidiary companies.""The Lexington Corporations run by Mr Thomas."Lady Megan Stevens' voice was barely above whispers and laced with authority as she spoke.Melissa Stevens stared at her mom almost immediately and back at Max Xanderson."Grandma, isn't the Lexington Corporation on the verge of bankruptcy?""The manager of the Lexington Corporation had announced some days ago that the company was going down the drain.""He even announced his resignation.""Grandma, I don't really get what you are talking about!""What is really going on here?!"Melissa Stevens' voice was laced with a mixture of anger and frustration as she spoke.Max Xanderson only gazed upon Lady Megan Stevens and her grandchildren.The situation was intense and palpable, Lady Megan Stevens began, "Mel
Melissa Stevens and Mrs Sophia Stevens had their jaws dropping in surprise and frustration."What the heck!""Grandma! You can't banish us from the family for demanding the rights and benefits of my dad, Mr Walter Stevens."Melissa Stevens's voice was barely above whispers and laced with worries and shock."Watch me!"Lady Megan Stevens yelled from her seat, her demeanor now threatening."What!""Lady Megan Stevens, you can't banish them out of the Stevens family just like that, Melissa Stevens and Mrs Sophia Stevens have equal rights as every member of the Stevens family!"Max Xanderson immediately spoke out, his voice was laced with determination and authority as he tried to counter Lady Megan Stevens's pronunciation."Max, they forfeited those rights some minutes ago after they thought it wise to yell back at me and challenge me in my own Villa!"Lady Megan Stevens's voice was vehement and laced with anger.Melissa Stevens and Mrs Sophia Stevens immediately fell on the floor and pl
Still at the Stevens Fort, Lady Megan Stevens is still pacing around the anteroom with the contract in her hand as she smiles gleefully."This calls for celebration and jubilation.""Quick, call the best of chefs you can find and let's celebrate this grand victory!""It's not everyday you win a two billion dollar deal with the dreaded grand general.""This is the first time we are hitting such a massive deal as a family company!""We are going to be one of the top elite families in Westerville very soon!"Lady Megan Stevens' voice was laced with exhilaration.In a matter of hours, the meeting hall of the Stevens family had been transformed and arranged into a banquet hall.The hall was a dazzling spectacle of opulence and grandeur.Lady Megan Stevens had always loved the class and wasn't going to let this night go down without a touch of class and opulence, especially now that the Stevens family had won the highly sought-after two billion dollar deal with the grand general's Springfie
At Melissa Stevens's home, Melissa Stevens is watching the news and is currently viewing the part where Eunice Stevens was signing the bidding contract.Tears well down her eyes slowly as she hears Lady Megan Stevens say that it was Eunice Stevens who made all of this possible.To make matters worse, she always hears the part where Eunice Stevens was gloating about being the one who made the bidding victory all happen."I should be the one standing there and signing that contract and not my stupid cousin, Eunice Stevens."Melissa Stevens muttered to herself as she watched the whole event on the television."Why is my grandmother this heartless and wicked to me and my mom?""Just why!"Melissa Stevens yelled as she stood up from the Sofa and turned off the television.As she turned immediately, her gaze landed on Mrs Sophia Stevens, her mom.Stopping in her tracks immediately, she asked, "How long have you been standing there?"Melissa Stevens' voice was laced with curiosity as she sta
"Mrs Sophia, don't worry, everything will be fixed…eventually."Max Xanderson said and patted Melissa Stevens on the shoulder slowly."Eventually!""Can you hear yourself, Max?!""Eventually, we need a plan and not the word eventually or luck!""We will be sitting ducks if we don't have a way to get the contract from Lady Megan Stevens."Mrs Sophia Stevens' voice was laced with anxiety."Mrs Sophia, I promise you, it will all turn out for good.""Melissa Stevens won that bidding contract and only she will be able to sign it.""Just relax and watch as things work out for our good."Max Xanderson's voice was laced with assurance and hope.Meanwhile, at the Stevens Fort, Eunice Stevens and her cousins are busy preparing to move to the mansion at Westbrook.The joy of yesternight's victory party was still in the air.Everyone was still talking about the event and how successful it was.The whole television channels and radio stations were talking about it all over Westerville and the whol
"Why are you even sweating like that?"Eunice Stevens immediately asked as she sensed a thick cloud closing in around them.She knew something wasn't right immediately the guard ran in and handed the envelope to Lady Megan Stevens.The servant only stared at her and dropped his head down in discouragement."I'm afraid it's bad news, Eunice."Lady Megan Stevens' voice was barely above whispers as she stared at the white paper in her hand, her metal walking stick fell to the ground, its clattering sound adding to the intensity of the moment."Lord George Lucas had just pulled out all of his venture capitalists and investors from the Stevens Global Group without informing me!""The Centurion bank is calling for us to pay back their loan in two days!""Eunice! This is really bad!""We are in so much trouble!"Lady Megan Stevens' voice was laced with a mixture of confusion and anxiety."What!""You are kidding, right?"Eunice Steven's voice cracked with disbelief as she stared at her grand
