 "Guards!!!... pack up all these items and set them in the family's mini museum."

"As for you Melissa, take your ranting mother and the rest of your family members out of my Villa now!"

Her voice was vehement as she stamped her walking stick on the floor sending trepidation across everyone in the room.

As Max, Melissa, Chloe and her mom were about to leave the door, Eunice immediately snatched the keys of the Bugatti Mistral from Melissa.

"You can't have that either, it belongs to us now…bye bye."

Her voice was laced with disdain, Max Xanderson wished he would slap the hell out of the spoiled brat.

"C'mon let's just go. "

Max Xanderson said as he pulled a stunted Melissa out of the villa, she immediately dabbed her eyes as they left.

Moments later, Lady Megan Stevens is addressing her people in the Stevens villa.

"Listen up everyone, I don't want any of you to be deceived by what Lord George Lucas pulled out here."

"He is clearly afraid of us, the Stevens, and not that wretched Melissa, he just wanted to make friends with us… indirectly."

"He knows that we are becoming influential by the day and could one day pose a deadly threat to him and his enterprises if he doesn't take time."

"I also think he has heard of our intending friendship with the top elites of Westerville and he thinks he can lobby himself to get favor from us in the future."

"It's a great move and that is why I'm keeping these gifts."

"It was meant for us, Lord George Lucas just presented it indirectly."

Her voice was laced with authority as she spoke, she was ruling her household with an iron grip, and she was literally the Iron Lady of the Stevens.

The meeting was over quickly and Eunice walked up to her grandmother.

"We can still attend the grand general's wedding right?"

"Definitely!"

She replied immediately as they walked down the hallway.

"What of Melissa and the weirdo Max?"

Eunice Stevens asked as she spinned the keys of the $7,000,000 worth Bugatti Mistral on her finger.

"I hope they come."

"Because I have something coming for that imbecile called Max."

Lady Megan Stevens said as she and Eunice laughed maniacally.

Meanwhile at Melissa's home, Max, Melissa, Chloe Maxwell and Mrs Sophia Stevens had just walked into the house.

"And where do you think you are going?!"

Mrs Sophia's voice was laced with anger as she stood by the door and prevented Max from moving further into the house.

"Max, you are the one who brought us all this shame and humiliation!"

"But I don't blame you, I blame my daughter who chose you over her grandmother's wish."

"How can we ever get out of this shackles of shame?"

Mrs Sophia yelled as she held Max by his shirt.

"Mrs Sophia, I promise I will make it all up to Melissa and my daughter."

Max Xanderson's voice was laced with determination and reassurance.

"And how are you going to do that? You wretched man!"

"Just tell me, how do you intend helping myself and my daughter rise back to the top of the food chain?"

"My husband, Walter Stevens is dead all because of you!"

"Our family company, the Walters Enterprise was taken away by Lady Megan Stevens also because of you dumbass!"

"Max, you are the last person I can trust to ever change the story of my family!"

"Speaking of failures, you haven't even told me where you left your wife and disappeared to!"

The situation was intense and palpable as Mrs Sophia Stevens took this opportunity to vent all her anger of Max Xanderson.

"Max just step outside for now."

"Let's give mom some time to cool off, I think part of all this anger is from what Lady Megan Stevens just did at the Stevens fort."

Melissa Stevens voice was barely above whispers yet laced with reason.

"Alright, I will be outside for now."

Max Xanderson said as he opened the door, shook his head and walked out the door.

Immediately after banging the door,  his phone rang out loudly.

"Why is Jack Oniels calling me by this time of the day?"

"Hello Jack I hope you have some good news for me?"

"General Cobra claw, the Xanderson's have invited you to a dinner tonight."

"They sent in a check of $3,000,000,000 and begs to have you grace their Villa tonight."

"They promise it will be a great night for you."

"They also sent a new Rolls Royce and some presents worth over $3,000,000."

"That's not all, they promised to send in more gifts and luxury artefacts should you decide to come tonight."

"What is your response General Cobra claw?"

Jack Oniels voice barely above whispers as he expected a answer.
