The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 271
“Jeremiah paid two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to a mortician before coming here? Huh?” Elizabeth looked at Jeremiah and was dumbfounded. Wasn’t this the same poor and decrepit Jeremiah who couldn’t take her cousin, Mary, on a worthwhile honeymoon because he didn’t have the money? He was so how on earth did he get a quarter of a million dollars to pay for his mother’s body to be prepared for her funeral? Elizabeth felt like she had woken up in an alternate reality where things weren’t how they were supposed to be and she couldn’t accept it.“I’m sorry madam Deborah but I feel like you’re mistaken. I know that guy very well and he definitely couldn’t have done what you said he did” Elizabeth said, smiling nervously. “Are you calling me a liar?” Deborah frowned and Elizabeth jolted. Her eyes also widened, afraid that she had just insulted her boss.“Of course not, madam Deborah. I definitely did not do that” Elizabeth shook her head vigorously. “It’s just that I can’t accept

“What?” Elizabeth asked, her face smeared with confusion.She couldn’t understand why Deborah was insulting her. ‘Am I misunderstanding something? Shouldn’t the insults be hurled at Jeremiah? It should so what the hell was going on here?’ She asked herself but saw that Deborah’s anger and frustration were aimed at her.“W-what did I do, madam?” Elizabeth asked, stuttering every syllable. “I just spoke to Emmanuella Justice and she confirmed that she knows Jeremiah personally. According to her, he is a very nice person and she had such a positive attitude towards him that she told me to give him the best treatment possible. She also said that he didn’t just pay for her mortician services but he paid for the express package. Do you know how much her express package is worth?” Elizabeth gulped.Everyone else in the aisle, who was extremely shocked by what Deborah had just said, was intrigued to know the price of Emmanuella Justice’s express package. “No, madam. How much is it?“ Eliza

People like Deborah were next to impossible to receive forgiveness from once someone got on their bad side because they usually tolerate a lot and are very slow to anger.“I truly am sorry, madam Deborah. This is the only good-paying job I can get with my qualifications so my life will essentially be over if you fire me. I’ve been working here for years, giving my life and energy to make sure the customers are satisfied so please don’t throw me away because of a single incident. I swear it will never happen again” Elizabeth begged desperately.Deborah, who still wasn’t pleased, scoffed.“Instead of begging me, you should be apologizing to Jeremiah for your blatant disrespect. You made him look like a terrible person in front of all these people and me, so the least you could do is beg him for forgiveness but you haven’t which shows you aren’t sorry about what you—“ Deborah said but Elizabeth cut her off.“No, that isn’t the case madam! Of course, I’m sorry for what I did to him. It’s
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 274
From what she had heard when she forced her way into Jeremiah’s conversation with Susan and even when he was about to leave when he mentioned Emmanuella Justice’s name, Jeremiah had said that he was there to buy a single dress for his mother’s corpse. The most expensive dress they had on sale was worth seventy thousand dollars, which was roughly Elizabeth’s annual salary as a salesperson. So, would Deborah really choose seventy thousand dollars over her, a salesperson with years of experience and relationship with the customers? It wouldn’t make any sense to do that so things might be in her favor. Elizabeth thought and started to grin internally. Since Jeremiah wasn’t her in-law anymore, their relationship had been terminated, meaning she couldn’t benefit from his newly found wealth so there was nothing for her to gain if Jeremiah was chosen over her. As such, she prefer if he left and died somewhere with all his money. Just then, the other customers in the store started to murm

“How does it look?” Deborah asked, holding the dress in her hands and showing it to Jeremiah. “Hmm” Jeremiah groaned, his hand on his chin as he assessed the dress— trying to imagine his mother’s body in it and wondering if it would look good on her Jeremiah had a really great poker face, so looking at him Deborah wasn’t sure if he liked the dress or not and was worried that he didn’t because of what happened with Elizabeth.Was it that he didn’t like the dress because of how it looked or had the incident with Elizabeth soiled his mood to the point that nothing she showed him would suffice? In that case, all she had done to appease Jeremiah might have been wasted if his mood still hadn’t improved.Deborah just hoped she was reading too much into things and Jeremiah was just trying to decide on his impression of the dress.“Can I hold it and see?” Jeremiah asked and Deborah nodded.She handed him the dress and continued to wait for a positive look from Jeremiah after being in her own
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 1
"Where the hell is my rent, Jeremiah?!" Inside the poorly furnished living room of a one-bedroom apartment, the elderly landlord and his son glared at a young man who had tape, ribbons, and pieces of popped balloons all over his body. "But, Mister Owens, my rent hasn't expired yet and you know that. I still have a week until I have to renew, so why are you hassling me for it like this?" Jeremiah Garrick said with a confused look on his face.The landlord frowned."Did you forget that I gave you a one-week extension when you didn't have the money on time last month? That extension means that you owe me a week and I'm deducting it from the one you have left which means your rent expires today!" Jeremiah's eyes widened."That's not fair! You can't just decide to do something like that without first informing me about it. Even if my wife and I go around town and start begging everyone we see, it'll be impossible to make the rent within the amount of time you're giving me" Jeremiah comp
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 2
Jeremiah couldn't believe what he was seeing. It was like he was stuck in a nightmare and no matter how hard he tried, he wasn't able to wake up. On closer inspection, he realized that the man who was making love to his wife was none other than his former boss and owner of the Ludwig resort, Mr. Paul Ludwig. "What was that—?" Mary asked as she told Paul to hold on a moment and then checked what caused the noise she heard. To her surprise, she saw Jeremiah staring at her infidelity with grief in his eyes, and her mood immediately soured. "What are you doing here, Jeremiah?!" Mary asked angrily as she quickly got out from under Paul and covered herself with the bedsheet. "Mary, how could you do this to me?" Jeremiah sniffled. "Weren't we supposed to be celebrating our anniversary at home, so why are you here, in bed with Mister Paul?" Tears fell down Jeremiah's eyes. “Who the hell are you and how did you get in here?” Paul frowned at Jeremiah. “It’s my useless husband, that’s w
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 3
Jeremiah spent a whole ten minutes lying on the ground, not being able to believe that in less than a couple of minutes he had lost the only person that made him happy. "What do I do now? All the years I put into our relationship, trying my best to make her happy was all for nothing. If only I wasn’t a nobody who couldn’t afford to give her what she wanted—" Jeremiah said but was interrupted when his phone started ringing. "Who the hell is it this time?" Jeremiah grumbled and decided to ignore the call. After a few seconds, the call ended but then the phone started ringing again. Jeremiah got angry that the caller couldn’t take the hint to not call back. He sat up and took out his phone from his pocket so he could terminate the call. He was about to hit the terminate button but looked at the caller ID and his eyes widened. He quickly changed tunes and, instead, swiped to answer the call then he put the phone on his ear. "Good evening, nurse Victoria! I hope everything is alri

CHAPTER 270
Jeremiah looked at everyone around him, seeing their judgmental faces which matched everything they had been saying about him and he glared at Elizabeth who was the cause of it all. Elizabeth was extremely proud of herself and being able to turn everyone against him. For no justifiable reason, Jeremiah always managed to make her sick to her stomach so getting others to feel the same way she did about him was an achievement in her terrible and mundane life.“What’s going on here?” Jeremiah and everyone heard from behind him and they all turned to look at the person who just spoke.“It’s great that you’re here, madam Deborah,” Elizabeth said, staring past Jeremiah and looking at the woman behind him.“Is that so? Someone should explain what the hell going on here then. Why is the store in such a state?” Deborah said. “This bastard over here came to steal from us and I was just about to call the security to come throw him out like the trash he is,” Elizabeth said, making Deborah shift
CHAPTER 269
Jeremiah groaned in annoyance as Elizabeth was the last person he wanted to see on his trip to a store to get clothes for his late mother’s funeral.‘That’s why the name of this shore sounded so familiar. Mary had told me that Elizabeth worked here some years ago’ Jeremiah thought as he kept staring at the angry saleswoman. “Did you suddenly lose the ability to speak or are you trying to ignore my question?” Elizabeth frowned. Jeremiah exhaled exasperatedly. “If you want to know the answer to that question then maybe you should ask your cousin and not me. I don’t have time for your problems today” Jeremiah said then turned around and was going to walk away. Elizabeth jolted, shocked by Jeremiah’s audacity to think that he could walk away from her without answering her question.The Jeremiah she was used to was a sniveling coward who did everything he could to make his wife happy which included putting up with her and all her family members' bullshit, even at the detriment of his p
CHAPTER 268
The name of the clothing store was Sunray’s Delight and the focus was entirely on women’s clothing which was exactly what he wanted. Jeremiah parked in the front of the store and looked at the sign.He groaned, wondering why the name of the store seemed so familiar— like someone he knew had told him about it before that day. The issue was that he was having a hard time remembering who it was because it either had been a while since he was told about the store or he wasn’t paying much attention when they did.“Whatever” Jeremiah shrugged and got off the motorcycle.If he didn’t remember who told him about the store then it meant that the person and the store weren’t that important.He headed to the store’s entrance, but just as he walked three feet away from his motorcycle, some guy stopped him and asked if he could take a picture with his motorcycle.Jeremiah, who was apprehensive of strangers because of what happened with Eric and Charles looked a little skeptical about interacting
CHAPTER 267
That was the first time since hearing about his mother’s passing that Jeremiah was seeing her.He was too distraught and heartbroken by the news of her death that he hadn’t even gone to see her body the day the unfortunate incident took place— also known as the worst day of his life.Knowing that he was finally going to see the corpse after weeks of shoving it into the back of his mind, Jeremiah had been gathering the confidence and strong mindset for that very moment.However, the sight of his mother, who he loved more than anything in the world, lying cold and lifeless on the morgue’s storage slide table caused tears to run down his eyes.He couldn’t believe that she was actually gone. Nurse Victoria, seeing the droplets of tears that landed on the sliding table the corpse was on, looked at Jeremiah with pity. She placed her hand on his shoulder and with a reassuring voice, said “Don’t worry, Jeremiah. She’s found peace and will be happy with the growth you’ve made since she last
