The Scorned Heir Chapter Thirteen
"What should I do now?" Cassie inquired as they strode away. "How do I invite a man I have never seen or spoken to?""I believe you should contact the Vice-Chairman. She should be able to contact the chairman and request that he attend the banquet. That, I believe, is the correct course of action." Ethan responded sharply.Cassie gave a nod. "Then you should wait here while I dial her number.“"Yes. I'll stay right here."Cassie let out a sigh. "I just hope this works out.""Sure. I think it'll work out, dear." Cassie grinned as Ethan spoke. A tiny smile crept across his lips as he watched her leave the room to call Demi.Everything would be resolved with a single phone call from him to Demi. If only she knew she didn't have to be concerned about anything. He couldn't wait to see her expression when everything came together perfectly, and he revealed his true identity. He dragged his gaze back to the room they’d just left, and his eyes were drawn to Arnold and Grandpa Rogers, who wer

Cassie dashed to the opposite end of the room to take Demi's call. Her pulse was pounding against her chest because the outcome of the phone call would decide whether or not she would be appointed as the director of Rogers company. If the chairman declined the invitation, she would lose her chance to become the director, and vice versa.She spoke into the phone while holding the device with shaky hands. "I wasn't expecting your response so soon, Miss Demi. Have you spoken with the chairman? "I just got off the phone with him, and yes. I told him about the banquet and that he had been invited. He agreed to come.”Cassie almost burst out screaming. She couldn't believe she could persuade the anonymous chairman to attend the banquet. The man rarely attended renowned events, yet he was willing to attend their party. She was overjoyed that he accepted the invitation and, more importantly, that she would be appointed as the company's director. She had done something spectacular and nearly

Cassie and Ethan left the Rogers mansion after the meeting to return to their residence, the guest house. Cassie smiled as they walked out of the mansion."I still can't believe I did it. Did you observe Grandpa Rogers' expression when he learned that the chairman of Buddy Industries will attend the banquet?" She inquired, grinning."Yes. He appeared to be overjoyed. And now he has no choice but to appoint you as the company's director. You have earned it, and I am quite proud of you. You have shown Arnold and others who doubted you that you are superior to them.""It's like a dream. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. The announcement will be made at the banquet, which will be attended by many important people." Cassie elaborated."We should congratulate you on your success. You have accomplished much and deserve to be recognized." Ethan proposed. "I mean, it's not every day one gets to secure a deal with Buddy Industry within an hour.""I concur. What should we do to commemorate this o

The manager laughed as she crossed her arms across her chest. "Who do you believe you are to threaten me? How dare you come in here and speak to me like that?"She turned to face the security guards who had entered the building. "Take him away, and if he resists, bundle him out. I never want to see him here again. Keep that in mind."Mrs. Abby was in an uproar at the store as customers who disagreed with her attitude toward Ethan began to speak up. Others cheered her on and seemed thrilled that she was about to evict him. They were perplexed why a lowly man like him would try to raise a commotion in Ardini Enterprise.The security guards approached Ethan, but he appeared unconcerned. They would never force him to go if he didn't want to. When they arrived, they attempted to lead him out, but he remained immobile in his posture."You have the option to leave willingly without any further embarrassment, or they would be forced to use other measures to take you out." The manager cautione

Enrico kept apologizing for disrespecting Ethan."I apologize. I am your grandfather's best buddy, and if I had known you were his grandchild, this would not have occurred." He pleaded.Ethan looked at him with contempt. He was disgusted that he only perceived the need to be respectful to persons in positions of power in the city. He didn't care about people who didn't possess businesses or millions of money. He knew that if he had been impoverished, he would have thrown him out right away.He enjoyed seeing prideful individuals seek forgiveness for their misdeeds. It was exciting to see them struggle with their egos when they admitted their mistakes. Watching him gave him the same satisfaction he got when Arnold knelt at his feet.He took his phone from his pocket and looked at the time. It was getting late, and he needed to get home as soon as possible. He couldn't stay out for so long, even though he was enjoying this. He cleared his throat and said. “I expected you to come here a

Ethan departed Ardini Jewelry Enterprise, trailed by his entourage. When he walked out of the building, he noticed that people were still gathered outside, waiting for him to depart.They were trying to photograph him while others were videoing him. It prompted a commotion, and numerous individuals tried to push their way past Ethan. Instantly, he felt quite uneasy and urged his bodyguards to disperse the gathering and guarantee that no one continued to photograph him."Archibald, please handle everyone and make sure they stop photographing me. I don't want this to spark a riot on the internet." He spoke to Archibald, who bowed slightly. Archibald immediately asked several bodyguards to assist him in dispersing the gathering as Ethan directed.Although it required much effort, Archibald and the bodyguards soon dispersed the crowd."It's time to go, Sir. Everything has been handled properly.” Archibald told him."All well, then. You may get going. I have another place to go before I re

Ethan was startled but delighted to see Samantha again. He hadn't expected to run into her at the hotel so soon after graduating from university."Ethan, is that you?" She questioned, approaching him. "I still can't believe it. My gosh.""Yes, it's me." Ethan exclaimed, a smile on his face. He held out his hand, and she shook it."This is very shocking. It's been a long time.""Yes, it has.""Please let him in." She gave the order to the bodyguards, who hesitantly let Ethan into the building. He could tell by the stern glares directed at him that they disagreed with Samantha's decision, but they couldn't do anything about it.Ethan greeted Samantha with a big smile as he walked in. They both felt nostalgic as they faced each other after so many years apart. They were university classmates, and seeing one other again brought back memories of those days."How's life treating you?" She inquired, her gaze drawn to him. "Are you good?""I'm great." He responded boldly. "I never thought I'
The Scorned Heir Chapter Twenty
‘You have no business being here. You do not belong here.’Ethan was stunned for a few seconds. What had suddenly struck her? Why was she acting so strangely?"What do you mean by that, Samantha?" He inquired, hoping to have misheard what she had said previously."I believe what I said is quite self-explanatory." She responded quickly. "I don't have time to waste on you. I have things to do and hotel guests to speak with. Please excuse yourself from the premises before I summon the guards to do that. It would be embarrassing if you forced me to kick you out. That is something I shall despise doing."Ethan couldn't believe what he was hearing. Where did all of this come from? Why had she been so sweet to him earlier? He couldn't figure out why she was suddenly unpleasant to him. Did he say something incorrectly?"I didn't expect this from you, Samantha." Ethan spoke with disappointment in his voice. "I realize that the bodyguards were tough on me because they didn't know who I was. But

To prove what he was saying was wrong, Cassie snatched the drink from his hand and drank it on a go.“Good,” Mason said and smirked. Quietly, fisting his hand into a ball to show his happiness. He gently pulled his phone from his pocket, made sure Cassie wasn’t seeing him, and set it on camera, gently placing it in a place that would cover Cassie.Mason was happy everything was going as planned, the thought of how he was humiliated a few days ago only made him more livid, and he did anything to prove to them, that he wasn’t a failure.Mason remembered how Arnold met him outside his office, at first, he was surprised to see him outside his office, but soon his surprise morphed into anger. “Mr. Stitches!” Arnold had called when he saw Mason moving closer to him, Mason had a faint smile

The night wasn’t going the way she had planned, and everything was on her nerves.“Stop being stiff Cassie, I don’t know why you get so angry when someone spills the truth about Ethan, you know deep down every word said against him is the truth” Mason stated and Cassie flared at her, at this point she was tired and regretted getting inside the car with him at the first place, she should have stayed back or better still look for a cab.“You are always acting as if Ethan controls you when your so-called husband could let you go that easily, can’t you see, and now you are rejecting a drink from me” Mason added and shrugged which only added to Cassie’s anger.She hates the fact Mason thinks Ethan controls her when that is not the case.

Desperately needing something sturdy to hold on to, Cassie reached out her trembling hand and gripped the nearby wall. The coolness of the surface offered a brief respite, grounding her in the midst of the chaotic scene. Her head spun with a mixture of alcohol and emotions, the intoxicating effects and the weight of her current situation vying for control.“Fuck!” she muttered as she tried to stable her stance.“Why is everything going against me today!” she muttered as she squeezed her eyes shut.Arnold watched her from a distance, a smirk dancing on his face. He glanced at his phone occasionally, watching a video Mason had sent him. Disgust etched across his features, he couldn't hide his disdain. He knew everything was finally working in his favor and the favor Cassie had in the hands of his grandfather would all change soon, he would see how worthless Cassie was, and she will be disgraced in the presence of everyone.“This is good” he muttered to himself as he watched the video al

Ethan arrived at the venue, he stepped out of the cab “Keep the change” he said as he handed over the fee to the cab man, who slightly bowed at him and drove off.Ethan turned to walk inside the venue when he suddenly noticed Mason, he had his back resting on a car and was about to light a cigar, he thought he might have stayed behind, perhaps he wanted to humiliate him.
