"But isn't your daughter, Mr. Dylan's wife?""What?" Madame Sharon blurted out.George Mallory decided to chime in. "If I remember correctly, your daughter is married to Mr. Dylan…"Madame Sharon pointed to Dylan who stood in a corner. "You mean that trash?! He's not worthy to be Hermione's husband! They're getting divorced tomorrow!"Lord Owens looked at where Madame Sharon was pointing at and that was when he realized Dylan was just standing in a corner pitifully mocked. It was new to him.He just found out that his aunt died and he's now seeing this?The whole crowd laughed at the statement."Dylan is a piece of shit, Lord Owens. Even his grandfather disowned him. Witnessing his wife being married and couldn't do anything about it, you see how shameless that is?!" She said, laughing.Dylan could only listen and looked at the happy face of Hermione. She's taking too much time to say yes. Probably because of Lord Owen's arrival.Lord Owens lowered his gaze since the words helped him

Madame Sharon kept pacing anxiously around her sitting room looking like her life was about to come to an end. There was a tension in the room, a moody tension that made it seem like they lost someone or they came back from a burial.Hermione was just on a single couch with her gaze downward as she thought about her life, not just her life but so many other confusing things that she can't seem to put together. Mainly about her husband, Dylan.Madeline just sat on the long sofa looking at them and shaking her head with a smile on their faces. It's like they rattled the cage of a sleeping giant. They did rattle the cage of a sleeping giant. They've got someone so angry that they now have a lot to pay for.Madame Sharon stopped pacing and she placed her hands on her head like someone tasked with the greatest impossible thing. "What…what are we gonna do?" She uttered with a shaky voice, her eyes were watery.She heaved out a shaky breath and looked at Hermione, her partner-in-crime. "We h

Dylan arrived at the Harper's Residence and since he was an expected visitor, he was immediately allowed entrance. He knocked on the door and it opened, only to see Madeline giving him a big smile.He managed to smile back a little despite his bad mood and she allowed him to enter before closing the door."Seriously, what are you, brother Dylan? I knew the necklace you gave me was authentic since you said so but it's way too expensive, no offense." She asked in curiosity.Dylan turned to look at her with his hands buried in his trousers. "Yeah, I bought it."Her eyes brightened. "Really?"Dylan nodded. "Yeah. I came across millions of dollars, it was given to me by Lord Owens. I used some of it for my aunt's surgery and others for the necklace, …"At that time, Madame Sharon and Hermione were almost off the stairs, overhearing what they were saying."... Sadly, it got rejected by Hermione but I expected it. I didn't toss it over to you because she rejected it, no. I gave it to you bec

Dylan's aunt was successfully cremated and placed in a columbarium where he was to pay her his last respects.He placed the bouquet of flowers he was holding close to the urn and brought out a harsh breath that says a lot, probably the fact that he was short for words. So after everything he went through just to make his aunt survive, she still died. He scoffed at the thought as he stared at her picture. Such beautiful, kind and caring woman gone just like that, and people as heartless and selfish like Madame Sharon still get to live.He's gonna have to make life unbearable for her. In so many ways than one so she better brace herself.Dr. Lydia who was standing beside him looked at him with a peering gaze. She could see anger and resentment in his eyes. He was rigid and lost in deep thoughts.She carefully placed her hand on his rigid shoulder which made it cringe a little and he looked at her, his angry eyes softened. He blinked and looked away with a sigh. "Thanks for coming her

Since it was a dinner meeting, at half past five, Dr. Lydia and Dylan arrived at Rainbow restaurant. There were not many customers inside but the cars that were parked in front of the restaurant were all high-end luxury cars worth tens of millions.The restaurant is the second most expensive to dine in Flame City.He was dressed too ordinary so he wouldn't be able to fit in with the people there. Although he doesn't mind, Dr. Lydia could.He looked at Dr. Lydia who just stood beside him. She was dressed in a beautiful red bandage gown which accentuated her body figure and perfect makeup on her face. He had to admit, she was beautiful.He found himself checking her out and he immediately looked away with an awkward cough. "Your high school mates must be really rich, Dr. Lydia. This restaurant is top-notch and expensive."Dr. Lydia pouted. "The guy who invited us here is the richest among us. Always trying to show himself. He's my problem here so please help me deal with him."Dylan jus

Dylan looked away from the food on his table and looked at Matt. "I'm the owner of this restaurant."They all burst out laughing. They laughed so hard that it felt like their throats were about to fall off.Dr. Lydia looked at him in shock."Oh, I know what you are. I know what you do. You're a comedian!" Someone said while laughing."But even for a comedian, he should have been dressed more properly than this." Someone added, also laughing.Kevin who was sitting beside Dylan hit his shoulder while laughing. "Man, you're so funny."Dylan stared at how they all laughed at him. His answer was unbelievable so it's understandable. He was tired of being looked down upon anywhere he goes so at least, even though they get to know, they won't dare spill it out.It's funny he now has their lives in his hands but they don't know about it. It will teach them not to insult anybody they meet."You can as well say you're the owner of Apex conglomerate." Mark jeered.Dylan looked at Mark, he was bes

Sean was called into his grandfather's study room but he was still absorbed in his thoughts. His heart was still heavy after the night of the banquet. He couldn't stop thinking about the humiliation he faced, the confusion about Dylan. It made him weak and anxious.He sat on the couch still thinking. It wasn't even about Hermione but about Sean. He couldn't come up with a possibility about why Lord Nigel Owens called his good for nothing cousin Master. It was hilarious and ridiculous at the same time."I went on a two-week trip, dad, only to come back and hear what happened. Seriously, why did you have to take credit for it?" Dwayne Clifford, Sean's father who stood beside his father, Greg questioned as he looked at his son worriedly.The old man justifiably replied, "Well, I didn't know Lord Owens was gonna be there. Who would have thought he'd be there just because he was signing a billion-dollar contract with Harper Enterprises? I was doing good for your son, my grandson.""Well, i
