Ma'am Elizabeth frowned as she stared at Michelle and Mark who were about to enter the restaurant. She wouldn't have seen them if Philip hadn't called her attention to them.Well since they were here, she wasn't too to allow them to have a good time, she would ensure they didn't have a pleasant time here, especially Mark. She had been longing to see him fall from grace. But no matter what she did, she wasn't successful.Mark's expression on the other hand was unnatural, how the hell had they run in Ma'am Elizabeth when they had only come to eat? Mark knew that he was going to have to abolish his plan as there was no way his mother-in-law would allow them to have a nice meal."There you go Michelle, how unfilial have you been, I suddenly lost your contact and yet you forgot about your mother." Ma'am Elizabeth smiled as she approached Michelle with a smile pulling her into a hug.Ma'am Elizabeth's change of attitude had caught him off guard that he didn't know how to react for a second.
"And what do you have to say?" Ma'am Elizabeth frowned as she looked at Mark."It's nothing much." Mark shrugged as he stared back at Ma'am Elizabeth.At this moment, he was already done eating and was feeling rather full. He had to thank Ma'am Elizabeth for buying him a meal since he was rather hungry."Are you insane or what?" Ma'am Elizabeth frowned as she stared at Mark.Mark frowned as he stared back at Ma'am Elizabeth wondering where she was trying to head to."How dare you interfere in the talk between me and my daughter?" Ma'am Elizabeth continued as she stared at Mark."I didn't interfere, I just said the truth as it also concerns me." Mark shrugged, not giving in to Ma'am Elizabeth's look."How dare you? Insolent brat?" Ma'am Elizabeth continued."I'm sorry, but you can't take my wife away without her permission, also she said she's not interested in going with you. Also, about you handling the company, I think you have to ask the owner first." Mark shrugged."How dare you s
Ma'am Elizabeth's fade twitched as she watched Michelle and Mark leave. Her face was red from anger, but there was nothing she could do."Curse that child." She muttered angrily under her breath before leaving the restaurant.With her nature, there was no way she was going to forgive Mark easily. Just at that moment, she remembered what Mark said."Ohh I see.... Did my parents die in an accident or someone staged an accident to kill them." Mark's words rang in her head and she couldn't help but shiver.At that moment, she couldn't help but wonder if he knew something she didn't know. There was no way it was possible. Even if he wanted to investigate his parent's death, there was no way the Smiths and the other families involved were going to agree to it.No matter how hard Ma'am Elizabeth thought about it, she just couldn't understand what gave Mark the confidence to utter such words. Could it be that he was trying to see her reaction?She knew that Mark was cunning and that she might
Mark frowned as he picked up his phone wondering why Albert was calling at this time of the night."Young master, I hope you're not asleep yet?" Alfred's voice came just as Make picked up the call."Yeah, I've not fallen asleep.""There's a lead on the investigation and I'm afraid you won't be able to take in the news." Alfred sighed from the other end of the phone.Make took in a deep breath as he waited for Alfred to say what he wanted to say."According to the investigation, the cause of the accident of your parents might be related to your foster mother.""I see," Mark muttered."I'll hang up then." Alfred sighed as he could feel Mark's muffled breathing.Mark on the other hand was deflated the moment he heard the news. It wasn't that he didn't want to believe, but it was too hard to be true.Even though Alfred had only told him that he wasn't sure for the moment and that the investigation was good to continue, he just couldn't understand what was going on.He was sure that Alfred
Alfred sighed as he paced around the mansion not knowing what next to do. Even though he wasn't sure yet. According to the investigation leads, it was his foster mother who was the cause of his parent's accident.He had tried to think about it, but then he just didn't know where to start. Why would the five families join hands with such a small family to wipe them out at that time?They were afraid of something which wasn't clear to Alfred. Also at that time, the power of the Clarkson family was very great and not many could contend with them.But then even at that, the four families weren't able to acquire even one-third of the Clarkson family wealth as Mark's parents were quite wise so even after their death what they were able to get was very limited.The family of Mark's Foster mother was only able to get some company which was why they were not on the scale of the other families, if not, the Clarkson family wealth at that time was enough to push them to the very top and even incr
The next morning, Mark dressed up after Michelle went to work and headed to Alfred's place. There were many questions on his mind and he had to clarify them."Young master, here you are." Alfred smiled immediately as Mark entered the sitting room. He had been expecting him as he knew he was going to come."Is what you said yesterday over the phone the truth or just a speculation?" Mark frowned going straight to the point."It's the truth." Alfred sighed.He received a call last night from one of his men saying it was the truth, not a speculation, but there was yet to be evidence.Mark's heart sank upon hearing Alfred's words. He had wanted it to be a speculation, but hearing Alfred saying it was the truth plummeted him into the abyss. He couldn't take it.The one whom he took as his mother was the one who had mustard his family for personal gains. Just to steal their wealth. Mark couldn't help but sigh."Is there any evidence yet?""Not yet, there's no evidence, they are still looking
Ma'am Elizabeth sucked in some cold air hearing Michelle's question, she had never expected a day like this to come. She wondered where Michelle had heard it from.It seems like her thoughts were right, Mark was already investigating the death of his parents. But then why didn't the families involved do anything to stop him? She was sure that they knew that he was investing.Was he so powerful now that there was no way to stop him? That shouldn't be the reason. Or could it be that some other circumstances had happened along the way?No matter how Ma'am Elizabeth thought about it, she just couldn't understand what was happening."Mum, you've yet to answer my question." Michelle's cold voice came from the other end of the phone."Fine, since you want to know the truth, I'll let you know." Ma'am Elizabeth snapped, feeling annoyed."I'm the real mastermind behind Mark's parent's death and even the five prominent families were only a pawn in the game.""All I did was incite hatred, I didn'
"Mum, what are you trying to say?" Michelle frowned."I just said all I said out of anger, I didn't know about Mark's parent's death." Ma'am Elizabeth sighed from the other end of the phone."If that's the case, then why did you swallow up his inheritance that made you what you are today, and yet, you never allowed him to enjoy a little of his parent's wealth?" Michelle frowned as she used this opportunity to ask the question that had been plaguing her for about some time."I..." Ma'am Elizabeth shuttered not knowing what to say.Michelle had hit the soft spot. She had swallowed up all of Mark's inheritance and yet she didn't even allow him to enjoy it. Why had she done that?She wanted Mark to suffer for the sins of his parents, she wasn't satisfied even after killing his parents, she wanted to make him suffer the sins of his Parents and carry the weight of his family.She enjoyed every moment she used to torture Mark. She couldn't help but take pleasure in his misfortune and was alw
