"Hello, Granny."Melissa Stevens's voice was mellifluous as always."Melissa! How dare you set us up?!""What did you do to the bidding qualifications that you gave me so hours ago?!""You had the guts to tell the grand general not to allow anyone except you into the bidding venue!""Was that why you never wanted me to attend the bidding event from the very beginning?!""You had it all rigged against us and to your favour!"The voice of Eunice Stevens was vehement and laced with derision as she poured out all her anger at Melissa Stevens.Melissa Stevens was taken aback on the other side of the phone.She removed the phone from her ear and stared at it in bewilderment before placing it back again."I'm sorry, Eunice, I don't understand what you are yapping about?""What happened and how does any of all this concern me?!"Melissa Stevens's voice was vehement as she immediately put the phone on loudspeaker, Max Xanderson had signaled her to do that."I will tell you what is happening!"
The situation was palpable and intense as Melissa Stevens and Mrs Sophia stared askance at Max Xanderson wondering why he would disconnect Lady Megan Stevens in the middle of a call."Everyone relax, it's not as bad as it seems, trust me."Max Xanderson said, trying to reassure them that everything was under control.Mrs Sophia Stevens and Melissa Stevens stared askance at him."What are you even talking about?!""Max! Do you know what you just did now?!""You abruptly ended a call with Lady Megan Stevens of the Stevens family.""That is it, you have finally cemented our fate!""If Lady Megan Stevens had any plans to return the Walters Enterprise to us, it's now gone all because of you!"Mrs Sophia Stevens yelled, all she had ever wanted was for the Walters Enterprise to belong to them once again.Mostly because the company was worth over fifty billion dollars. She had been imagining the way their life would change the moment Lady Megan Stevens returned to the Walters Enterprise.But
Opening the door immediately, Max Xanderson was standing face to face with Logan and Bryan Stevens, two of his wife's male cousins.Their facial expressions weren't like those who had come to apologize for anything."Did Lady Megan Stevens send you here?"Max Xanderson asked as the two of them walked right behind him and into the house."No!""We are here because of Melissa!"Logan Stevens immediately replied as his gaze fell on Melissa Stevens who was sitted on a sofa in the house."How dare you plot against your own family?""You plotted with Sir Alfred to have the locks of the mansion changed and had me and Denise beaten up pretty badly!"Logan Stevens' voice was laced with anger and frustration as he yelled at Melissa.Melissa Stevens didn't say a word but only gazed at Logan and Bryan Stevens as they continued ranting."Bryan, I didn't do any of those things you and Grandma are accusing me of!"Melissa Stevens's voice was vehement as she tried to defend herself from her cousins b
As soon as they left, Mrs Sophia Stevens and Melissa Stevens fidgeted and blamed Max Xanderson for having put them all in deep trouble."Max, you really shouldn't have beaten up Logan and Bryan Stevens that way.""They will definitely tell Lady Megan Stevens all that happened here today.""She really wouldn't take it lightly with us for that."Mrs Sophia Stevens's voice was barely above whispers and laced with trepidation as she dabbed an icepack on her head.She had hit her head on the floor the moment she was shuffled aside by Bryan Stevens.Staring at Mrs Sophia, Max Xanderson immediately began, "Mrs Sophia, Bryan was almost about to slap my wife, your daughter.""Did you expect me to sit and watch as they beat up my wife?!"Max Xanderson's voice was laced with reason as he walked towards little Chloe Maxwell who was just returning from school."Max, I didn't say that, I only meant that now that you have beaten up Logan and Bryan for the second time in a month, we should be prepare
Max Xanderson immediately retracted his hand and kept the coffee on the table and walked around the room with his hands behind his back.Now making direct eye contact with Lady Megan Stevens he began."Lady Megan Stevens, you wish to get back the Villa at Westbrook and have access to the grand general's bidding event, right?""So why are you yelling at the only one who can help you do that?""Melissa Stevens was the one that got the villa at Westbrook in the first place and she also was the one who received the bidding qualifications from the grand general.""Don't you think it would be to your disfavour if you keep on yelling and humiliating Melissa?"Max Xanderson's voice was barely above and laced with reason and determination."See it this way, if you were to be the grand general and someone is messing around with someone you care about for some reason, would you ever let those people have any favour from you?!"Max Xanderson asked, staring intently into the eyeballs of Lady Megan
"I wasn't planning on keeping your dad's company forever." Lady Megan Stevens continued."I still had plans to return it to you and your family.""Please forgive us and help us this time to truly get access to the grand general's bidding event." She pleaded with Melissa Stevens.The whole thing was like a movie to Melissa Stevens.Who would ever have believed that Lady Megan Stevens and her autocrat of a cousin, Eunice Stevens, would have ever begged Melissa Stevens for mercy in this life or the next?Melissa Stevens was somewhat confused and stared askance at her grandmother."Okay, you know what Melissa, if you forgive us and help us get access to the grand general's bidding event, you and your family can keep this house all to yourself.""I will even call the demolition company to call off their bulldozers that are already on their way here as we speak."Her voice was laced with remorse as she immediately took her phone and called the demolition company and immediately the bulldoze
"You know what, I think Max has got a valid point and argument.""I think the Stevens family should return the Walters Enterprise to Melissa's family and the Mansion at Westbrook back to Melissa Stevens.""That way who knows the grand general might be pleased with us and do us one better."Lady Megan Stevens' voice was barely above whispers as she turned and smiled at Melissa Stevens and Mrs Sophia Stevens."Grandma! This is just ridiculous!""You have just made the worst of decisions in just a day.""You have just allowed Max to hypnotize you into giving back all of Melissa Stevens's properties back to her."Eunice Stevens' voice was laced with anger and frustration as walked towards the door.Lady Megan Stevens stared at her and shook her head in disapproval, "Melissa Stevens I have also decided that it would be best that you represent the Stevens family at the grand generals' exclusive bidding event.""If the grand general kind of favors you for no just reason then I think, it woul
Max Xanderson stared at Melissa Stevens and back at Mrs Sophia Stevens, his eyebrows furrowed in bewilderment."Don't worry about a thing Melissa.""I can assure you we have got this."Max Xanderson said as he walked into the house.Melissa Stevens and Mrs Sophia followed him up immediately."Max, why are you so confident about us not needing those gifts?"Melissa Stevens asked as she stared out of the window and gazed at Lady Megan Stevens's SUV Escalade as it sped on the road."Nothing, I just know that he might not need it.""I mean, I don't know him personally or anything but…""You know what, let's just forget it.""Later we will find out if I am wrong or right."Max Xanderson said smiling gleefully at Lady Megan Stevens and at Mrs Sophia Stevens."Max! You think this is funny?!""Why are you even laughing about a thing as serious as this?!""I have waited all my life for this day to come, the day Lady Megan Stevens will return the Walters Enterprise to us.""How can you be playi
