“You are so pathetic.” Jesse whispered in her ears when she got to the place where Janet was waiting.“How can you keep going after someone who no longer cares about you? Have you no dignity and self-respect?”“No.” Janet blurted out coldly. “I have none of those things you just mentioned. I don't care about having them either. All I care about is to win Arthur back and that's what I'll do.”“Hmph.” Jesse shook her head and scrutinized Janet in a disgusting look before she continued. “Dream on. I assure you that even in your dreams, you will never win. Arthur is not a pushover. He might have been that to you in the past but not anymore.”Without that, Jesse turned to Arthur and gestured for him to follow her. The duo left Janet and began to walk into the mall.“What did you say to her? I can see that she's fuming already. I hope she doesn't put up a fight with you.”“I'd like to see her try.” Jesse replied as they continued to match into the mall.“About what I said to her. I told
Their leader took a quick glance at Janet's table and found her busy with her food. She knew she was now the object of their discussion so she pretended not to notice them.The leader turned to Bryan with a stern face. “Spider, do you know her?”Bryan nodded his head. “Yes.”“Who's she to you?” He asked coldly.“She's my girlfriend.”The leader kept quiet and only stared at Bryan for a while before turning around the place. Some people recognized them and were now glancing in their direction.He saw a few making some calls and deduced that they were calling the police. When the man turned his face back, he saw the waiter coming with their orders.“Let's get out of here now.” He whispered and they all rose to their feet and made their way out to the waiter's bewilderment. He paused in his tracks and gaped at the retreating figure of the men. The waiter was completely clueless of what was happening because he was yet to see their faces.“It's them. The united brothers' gang.” A woman m
“Good, now tell us. Where do you have your mind on?”Arthur lifted his face and glanced at all their faces while still smiling. The men also exchanged glances at themselves and kept wondering what was in the mind of Bryan.“Why are you wasting our time?” The leader snapped at him and he nodded.“Ok. I'll go ahead and say it now. It's Raremix mills. The company that belonged to the man who got married to my late mother and adopted me. They have a habit of leaving a lot of cash at the place before taking it to the bank.”“Oh, you think we'll get plenty of money from your father's company.”Bryan nodded his head. “Yes. I'm very sure.”“Hmph.” The leader snorted. “I hope you also know everything about the place and how we can go in and come out.”Bryan sneered and remained silent before uttering. “I know the place like the back of my palms.”Later that evening, Jesse drove back home together with her sister. They were through with the day's work and happily drove home.The girls had boug
Jesse eyed her sister but didn't say anything else. There was no use arguing with her because she won't win.“Whatever, don't you dare cause any trouble.” Jesse replied to her.Meanwhile, Arthur went to visit his Dad where he spent the whole night. When it was time for him to go home, he made his way outside the gate.“Arthur.” He heard someone call out his name and turned to see Janet standing outside. She had left Jesse's residence and decided to come to the McCains’ home. She had earlier wanted to drive to Arthur's villa at Salem street but decided against it. Janet believed that Arthur wouldn't be home at such a time and was right indeed.He went to spend time with his father after leaving his workplace.“What are you doing here?” Arthur asked in a cold and distant voice. Janet didn't say anything and began to approach him but he walked away and made his way to the car. However, Janet was quick and blocked his path.“She sent her sister to assault me.” Janet lied and got Arthur
“I know that. In fact, can we forget about her. She's not worth the stress.” Jesse added.“Can we talk later? I want to rest now.” “Alright, but don't forget to call me so we can visit those children together.”“Sure.”Arthur ended the call the same time the cab pulled over at his villa. He soon got down and made his way into the house. Even though Jesse told him to forget about whatever Janet did, he was still angry about it. Even when he was being greeted by his domestic staff, he didn't reply to any of their greetings. This action of his made Mrs Olivia anxious that she had to mutter to herself.“I hope the young master is not having problems in his relationship again. The other day, he promised to bring over his girlfriend to try out my dishes. What could be the problem now?”Mrs Olivia was looking forward to seeing the lady who had captured their boss's heart. She must be a very special person.After staring at the retreating figure of Arthur as he ascended the stairs, she turn
Jesse almost fell backwards but was fortunate to hold herself. She was wearing sneakers, jean trousers, and a t-shirt. It was the reason she did not fall to the ground.“Watch where you're going b*tch.” The woman barked. Jesse was speechless. She had never met anyone like that before. She looked really bitter and was like someone who had a quarrel at home before coming out.She even called her a b*tch like they've met before and even had a misunderstanding.“Ma'am, why did you push you? And what did you just call me?” Jesse raised her voice and charged at the woman. She had earlier dropped the bags on her hands.Jesse had almost descended on the bitter woman with her hands when a security guard held her hands.“Ma'am, you don't have to do that.”Stella, who was oblivious of what happened behind her, turned and saw the security guard holding Jesse's hand.“Oh, you want to hit me. Why don't you go ahead and do it?”Just then, Arthur and Jenny ran to the place. They were ahead of Jesse
“Because I bumped into her out of mistake, she pushed me hard and called me a b*tch.” Jesse explained to them. “You guys needed to see how hard I was pushed by that woman.” Jesse shook her head vigorously before blurting out. “That woman is so mean. I'm not surprised that she's Janet's mother.”“I'm so sorry about that, Jess.” Arthur apologized on behalf of Stella. He wished he was present at the place when it happened just to protect Jesse from Stella. “It is a good thing that I wasn't putting on high heeled shoes. If not, there's nothing that will stop me from falling.”“Don't mind that woman, she is lucky I wasn't there at that moment. How can someone be so mean?” Jenny added in a very serious tone. She would not take it from anyone who tries to insult or demean her sister no matter who that person was.“Let's not dwell on this anymore.” Jesse said to her sister. Such conversations would only get them enraged and that's not what they want.They were going to the orphanage home to
Jesse was speechless and silently smiled back at him. On the other hand, Jenny was feeling so overwhelmed. She could not wait to also visit the place. It must be as beautiful as Arthur stated.A mansion. The girls had never been to a mansion before.“Wow! You mean that your grandparents are living in a mansion.” Jenny asked excitedly and Arthur nodded at her.“Yes, they are and I'm going to take you and your sister to the place.”Arthur turned around and held Jesse's hands. “I'm leaving you to make the choice. My grandparents have many properties and you can choose anyone for yourself. You can also choose the one where you want us to stay after our wedding.”Jesse blushed when she said the words. She was speechless.Turning her face around, it fell on her sister who pursed her lips and smiled back at her. Jenny didn't say anything. The decision was her sister's to make. She's not going to tell Jesse what to do.Jesse turned back at Arthur with a warm smile plastered on her face. After
