The Uncanny Archer Williams: New Money Era

CHAPTER THREE

"Sorry for the late boss, but you came out earlier than the time you informed us..." The girl said with guilty. But Archer just made a wry smile and waved his hands. 

"It's nothing, I was expecting someone else to pick me up...but never mind, I may need some time staying alone. Just go back home." Archer sighed and forced a smile, he didn't want his employees to see his sadness.

The girl hesitated, but when she saw Archer's decisive eyes, she sighed and said, "OK boss, remember to call me when you need."

Archer sat in the cafe alone, he couldn't believe the girl he loved would betray the oath they made. 

She thought she made her company boom, but without Archer's secret help, her company would go bankrupt long ago.

Suddenly a wicked laughter captured his attention.

Archer turned around slowly.

He knew that laugh very well, it was the same one that he had heard several times.

Immediately his mind was filled with a layer of irritating wrath as he turned around and saw his brother-in-law Oliver Austin, Eva's little brother.

 

He looked as scattered as Archer last saw him. The waitress hurried back inside, leaving him with Oliver .

“So my sister finally divorced you good for nothing man” he said, chuckling wryly.

“I knew she would dump you one day. My sister never loved you yet you still took her money.”

“You didn’t have the self respect to refuse the money even after being dumped, just how shameless can you be?“ Oliver mocked him, laughing carelessly.

 

Archer remained quiet, staring at him with a blank expression, within his heart, he was boiling with rage, but he managed to remain composed.

 

“This is why my sister chose to divorce you. You’re not man enough, you’re useless, and shameless. You’re an embarrassment to me, your fellow man. How much more your wife?”

“No man would take money from his ex after getting dumped but you happily took it with two hands.”

 

Archer remained quiet, just listening to him spit insults at him. A low scoff escaped his lips as he looked at his untidy, dirty face. He said in his heart that Oliver was not worth his time, he was not even worth his words so he chose to remain quiet.

 

Oliver looked at the cheque in Archer’s hand and his eyes glinted with greed and jealousy.

“You don’t deserve that cheque, bast**rd” he spat.

“In fact, you don’t deserve anything from Eva. You already spent three years in prison being an embarrassment and a stain on her status. How can you still take this money without the slightest guilt or shame?”

“That cheque in your hand rightfully belongs to the Austin family and you must return it.”

 

Archer sneered at his empty threat, even though the money was nothing to him, but to return it to Oliver? “never!” He declared in his mind.

 

Seeing the sneer on Archer’s face, Oliver became furious, seeing that his words didn’t even move Archer, and he searched for more insults to upset him.

“You must be thinking that going to prison has made you tough,” He scorned, “but you’re just an ex-convict with literally nothing in this world. Your life is over! You are nothing without my sister and you’ll never amount to anything!” He spat.

 

Archer smiled wryly, shaking his head at Oliver’s stupidity.

Even before he was put in jail, Oliver was always a troublemaker, causing troubles for Eva and his other family members, and he was still the same even after three years. He knew that Oliver wanted to keep the money for himself but he would never have it.

 

“Hand over that cheque!” He snapped, seeing the smile on Archer’s face.

 

Archer remained quiet, watching him make a fool of himself.

“I know why you really need the money.” He continued talking, “You’ll ever make any reasonable amount in your miserable life, that’s why you’re holding onto that money.”

“But you don’t deserve that money. What you deserve is to be miserable and to live in poverty till the day you die! So I must take that cheque from you!” Oliver spat.

 

Just because he was just released from prison, he suddenly felt that he was better than Archer, throwing insults at him and demanding for the cheque.

 

Archer smiled ironically, not that the money meant anything to him, but he had declared in his heart that he would never give the money to him.

Seeing the way he was talking, Archer knew he was desperate, so he said,

“Do you really want the cheque?” He asked, waving the cheque in the air.

 

“Yes, yes!” Oliver nodded eagerly.

“If you.. if you give me the cheque, then I will talk to Eva for you. After all, you still love her… just give me the cheque and I will permit Eva to come back to you” he said.

 

Archer sneered at his lies, staring down at him.

He brought the cheque down to mid air, and Oliver thought he was about to hand the cheque to him.

Instead, Archer held the small paper in his two hands, and tore it into two.

 

“What?!!”Oliver shouted in shock.

 

Archer held the two pieces together and tore it again, as he tore the cheque to pieces, Oliver widened his eyes in unbelief, he could not believe his eyes.

 

He had already planned out that one million dollars, first he was going pay off all the debts of the people that were after him and then pay a part of his rent with whatever was left.

 

“That’s not the real cheque, right?!” He asked in shocking disbelief.

 

“that’s not my sister’s hard earned money you just tore, you good for nothing man!” He raged.

 

The cheque was now in multiple pieces and Archer let the papers fall from his hand, scattering on the floor.

 

Oliver fell to the ground, trying desperately to catch the falling pieces.

A wry laugh escaped Archer as he watched the bragging man act like a desperate dog.

Oliver stood up from the ground, realizing that the cheque could not be saved. He was furious, his only chance to take that money was gone. and it was all because of Archer. A low growl escaped from his lips, as he lifted his gaze scowling at Archer,

 

"How dare you?!"...

 

“You just signed a deathwish!" He raged.

 

"How dare you tear my sister's hard earned money you ungrateful good for nothing bastard!"

"What did Eva ever see in you? You're just pathetic and will always be..."

 

“You have yourself to blame for whatever happens to you.”

 

He pointed to Archer and shouted furiously "I'm going to f*cking kill you!" He said creasing his brows furiously, "I'm going to beat you till you f*cking die like a dog!"

 

By this time, the door of the cafeteria opened, and a gorgeous girl with brown hair, high heels and dark shades walked towards them. She was classy and beautiful, everything about her spoke wealth. She stopped in front of them and gently removed the eye glass. She said,

 

“Who dares talk like that to my fiancé?!”
