The next day.Jamie, Ivy, Ben, and Ruth were waiting outside the house, dressed in pricey outfits. Ruth’s dress was worth eight thousand dollars, and she kept taking selfies repeatedly, showing off the rose pattern embellishment on her attire. Ben’s three-piece green-textured designer suit with a traditional look was worth over sixty thousand dollars.Ulmer came out wearing a black tuxedo enhanced with metallic strips.“Why does his suit look so posh?” Ivy cast an annoyed glance at Ben.“Mm?” Ruth looked at Ulmer. “Oh my, he looks cool. I think you might have a competition at the engagement, Bro.”Ruth’s words only annoyed her mother even more.As if the suit wasn’t enough, Ulmer was also wearing a gold chain which made him look like a rich kid. Ivy didn’t like that Ulmer’s hair was smooth and stylish, whereas her own son’s hair didn’t look as good even though Ivy gave it her personal touch.“How annoying…” Ivy entered the car, slamming the door hard.Jamie was sighing, but his expres
Ulmer had to keep Ivy away from attacking Mollie until they reached Ross’ home. It was quite a draining process, much tougher than when he fought Graecon.However, when they reached Ross’ home, her attitude quickly took a U-turn.She started smiling all of a sudden. “Everyone, put on your best behavior and treat everyone nicely. The guests have to be impressed by us. If anyone does anything stupid that will affect the engagement negatively, then I will personally punish them afterward. Don’t forget that.” She said all this with a smiling face and then exited the car.Ulmer knew that she had many faces, but he wasn’t expecting such a drastic change from her. He thanked God in his heart that his wife was completely opposite to her. If Ayana were to do all these crazy mind games and mood shifts, Ulmer probably would have regretted marrying her at least a little if not a lot.As everyone got out of the car, Mollie held Ulmer’s hand nervously.“What is it, Grandma?” he asked her.“Let’s go
Ulmer took his grandmother into the duplex house of Ross. She was awed by the decorations that were made. “Just how much would it cost for all the lighting and fresh flowers?” she loved the fragrance that wafted about in the air. It made her want to fall on those flowers and sleep.Ross personally came to receive Mollie. He shook her hand, and she happily shook his hand.“I didn’t have any headache this morning,” Ross told her. “I think it’s because of your copper water.”“Oh, I’m glad it worked. Drink it often, and you won’t get more gray hair anytime soon,” she said. “But too much of anything isn’t good. So take a little break every now and then.”“I will keep that in mind,” Ross said, smiling. “My dad also is active. He said his knees don’t feel as hot and on fire anymore. I don’t know what you told him, but he’s happy with his progress. It feels great to see that he’s able to stand without frowning. His knees aren’t hurting that much anymore. It’s still hard to believe that things
Seeing how Ross was treating Mollie with respect, Ivy could neither smile nor cry. Ross didn’t greet her so heartwarmingly, even though she was Ben’s mother.“I heard that he’s a calculative man,” Ivy thought. “So why is he giving importance to that old woman? She has nothing backing her. Even the clothes she wears are not bought by her. That’s her condition, which she foolishly brought upon herself by giving away her wealth to her sons. So, she deserves all the pain she gets in this old age. There’s no need for anybody to show pity on her as it was all her fault.”Ross left Mollie with his parents and then left to entertain other guests. He met Sofia Myers. “How’s your family doing, ma’am?” He respectfully asked her as she was not only the daughter of a billionaire family but was also successful in running her company along with her parents, which was why Ross had a special respect for her.“I’m sorry that they couldn’t come here today,” Sofia replied with a smile, “but I’m sure they
Ulmer was just checking out the strings made out of leaves. “What the… are these leaves plastic? Well, at least the flowers are not plastic.”Ross came up to him with his hands in his pockets. “You sure have luck on your side, young man.”“Mm?” Ulmer turned to face Ross. “Luck on my side? What made you say that, sir?”“I was wondering which post I should give to you in my company so that it would benefit both of us,” Ross said. “I wasn’t able to come to a decision as I don’t know your skills. However, one person saw that you already possess good looks, and she wants to make you a model for her brand.”“Me? A model?” Ulmer chortled. “You're joking, right?”“Don’t be so humble. You are a handsome dude, and this suit makes you look like a gentleman,” Ross said. “You will definitely pass for a good male model. If you’re lucky, you’ll earn far more as a model than you can in my company.”“Male models earn less than female models, don’t they?” Ulmer said. “So I have to be really at the top
Ulmer hesitantly approached her. He could already see that many men had their eyes on Sofia Myers who had a seductive charm around her. She was like the perfectly ripened fruit that anybody would desire to bite and eat.Ulmer, however, was not experienced in the matters of the bed. He only had sex with a woman once so far, and that was with his wife Ayana not long ago. So, he didn’t feel as much of a pull as other married men in that hall, thanks to his inexperience in the field of sex.In fact, Ulmer did not feel tempted to even talk to her because he was still relatively a newly married man, and his heart was still growing in love for Ayana. While he would admit that Sofia was a beautiful woman, it was also not a lie that he was not tempted by her feminine charm like most others in that hall did right now.“U-Um, excuse me?” Ulmer softly called the voluptuous woman from behind. “Mrs. Sofia?”Sofia did ‘NOT’ like the ‘Mrs,’ part, so she turned around and spared him a cold glance. “WH
Mollie was happily spending time with Calvin and Fiona and other old people. Because Calvin and Fiona were giving her respect and attention, the other old people also were friendly with Mollie.Mollie wasn’t expecting to even be noticed by anybody because she had experienced a lot of things in her life. There were times when she went to parties and was well received when her financial condition was good, and people would try to make deals with her, but when her financial condition wasn’t good, nobody even cared to greet her and spend a few minutes with her. And her situation became even more pitiable after she gave all of her money and property to her sons. Nobody would even answer her calls.In this party, Mollie didn’t have any burdens. She could just talk freely and give her opinions on this and that.But her expression changed when a certain family entered the house. It was Jude and his wife Kristi and Jude’s parents.Mollie stopped talking and remained seated, trying to hide hers
“You both seem to be having real fun without me. That’s not fair at all,” Jude said. “Let me join the conversation, too. What do you say, Ulmer? I almost couldn’t recognize you, my nephew. You look dope in this suit. I’m sure all the girls are going to drool-”Jude suddenly stopped talking because something tightly gripped his crotch.Jude’s eyes shifted down and noticed Ulmer’s hand.Ulmer didn’t even turn back but still managed to precisely grab Jude’s precious jewels. As Ulmer put more strength into the grip, Jude’s expression worsened.Fiona covered her mouth in a bit of a shock, whereas Calvin seemed a little surprised.“Ulmer, what are you doing?” Mollie hissed at him in a low voice. “Remove your hand. He’s your uncle!”“An uncle needs to act like one,” Ulmer stated, turning back to face Jude. Both of them were almost the same height, but Jude was bulkier and had a thicker beard and messier hair. He looked like a wild beast that was in chains right now.“You…” Jude tried to grab
