"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
"Oh, you want to know why I decided to kill your parents?" Ma'am Elizabeth sneered when she heard Mark's question.Mark on the other hand tried his best to keep his temper down as he was feeling very annoyed. He had no other choice but to clench his fist as he waited for Ma'am Elizabeth to say whatever she wanted to say.Michelle on the other hand was in a dilemma, since the phone was on loudspeaker, she could hear the conversation between her mother and Mark. She just didn't know what to do next.Even if she wanted to comfort Mark, she didn't know how she was going to do it. Everything was just complicated and no matter how hard she thought, she just couldn't come up with anything."Do you still want to know or you've given up?" Ma'am Elizabeth sneered as she didn't hear any reply from Mark."I'll still like to know," Mark replied through clenched teeth. It was evident that he was trying hard to hold back his anger, but he was finding it rather impossible."Your grandfather was respo
Mark and Michelle raised their heads simultaneously at the intruder. Mark's expression was calm while Michelle's expression was conflicted.What the hell was the secretary thinking? Barging in at a time like this. Didn't she know the concept of privacy? Also what the hell had happened that she didn't know?"I'm sorry if I have disturbed you, ma'am." The secretary apologized, noticing the awkward atmosphere and the way Michelle was staring at her."I'll come back later to inform you of the issue." She continued intending to leave the office."Since you've come, why don't you say what you wanted to say? I'm sure Michelle is okay with it." Mark smiled, stopping the secretary from going."But...""Don't worry, you didn't intrude on our privacy, you were just doing your job." Mark smiled as she reassured the nervous secretary."Yes sir." The secretary nodded and turned to Michelle."So what do you have to say?" Michelle frowned as she stared at the secretary."Ma'am, we've just discovered
"What problem?" Mark sighed as he asked slowly."The four families are on the move. They are afraid that you'll do something so they want to act fast." Alfred replied."What's their plan?" Mark frowned. He had not expected the four families to move in such a hurry. He had thought that they were going to keep calm and just watch everything happen.But then he didn't expect everything to go wayward which meant something or someone was the driving force."Could it be Ma'am Elizabeth?" Mark frowned as he muttered under his breath.He just couldn't think of another person who had such capabilities to make the four families move. Even though she wasn't going to threaten them, he was sure that she must have found some way to manipulate them into doing her bidding.Ma'am Elizabeth was more cunning than he had thought. He needed to be careful or else he was going to be affected. But then what the hell was he going to do?It was now it dawned on him, what had just happened at the company was no
Mark smiled bitterly as he brought out his phone. He was sure that the people who were following him were sent by the four families and that something significant was about to happen.Well whatever they were thinking, he was going to thwart their plans and make them regret attacking him in the first place. Also, ma'am Elizabeth, he was going to do something to her. But the problem was that he wanted to make it legal.According to his calculations, Ma'am Elizabeth should be called to court the next day and yet she had time to run amok. How audacious? It seems like she had no fear of anything. Well, it was none of Mark's business.He was going to do whatever was on his mind. He couldn't afford to wait any longer. The longer he waited, the more his life was in danger and he had to do something too, or else he wouldn't know when he died."Young master." Alfred's panicked voice came from the other end of the phone immediately after the call was connected."There are some people following me
(THE NEXT MORNING)"Mmmmm," Michelle muttered as her eyes fluttered open. At the moment, she felt refreshed and it was as if she had slept for many days. It had been a long time since she had such a deep sleep."Where I'm I?" She muttered as she looked around.Michelle could care less about where she was as she needed to go to work. Thinking about this, the memories of last night poured into her head. It was then she remembered that DL Motors had been blown up.Next, tears flowed out of Michelle's face as she realized she was in the hospital. She fainted after getting to the scene the night before. Who the hell had blown up the company she worked hard to improve?She was never going to forgive the person. She didn't know how Mark was going to feel now that his company had blown up. She was sure that Mark was in even greater pain than she was.He was the owner of the company and had invested much into it and yet it had ended up being blown up. How was she going to comfort him when she
It seems like she had underestimated Mark's communication a lot and even after all she had done, he was still able to manage a court summons.Ma'am Elizabeth trembled from anger as she read through the content of the letter. The first court session was scheduled to be the next day and it was sure to hold. No one would be able to stop it.Well, then she wasn't going to run away from it. She was going to be at the Court the next day and see what Mark was going to do."Mum, what's wrong, why do you look pale?" Philip frowned, noticing the unnatural expression on his mother's face."It's nothing, take a look at this." Ma'am Elizabeth smiled, passing the court summons over to Phillip."A court summons?" Philip froze seeing the content of the letter. He was just as shocked as his mother. But the difference was that he didn't know who had sent the court order but his mother knew."Mum, who sent the court order?" Philip frowned as he looked at his mother. "It's Mark." Ma'am Elizabeth sighed
"Mark, are you all right?" Michelle called out to Mark as she tried to wake him up."Mmmm," Mark muttered as his eyes fluttered open."What's wrong Mark, you've been sleeping for the whole day?" Michelle frowned as she stared at Mark.Mark frowned as he sat up and looked outside only to see that the sun was just rising."Michelle, what's wrong, I've only just slept not long?" Mark frowned wondering why Michelle had come to wake him up."Take a look at this." Michelle frowned as she showed Mark the date on her phone."Fuck!" Mark cursed as he was suddenly awake fully and looked around. It was then it dawned on him that he had slept for the whole day. It was no wonder why Michelle was acting strange.Michelle on the other hand was wondering what was wrong with Mark as he had been sleeping ever since they came back from the hospital. She had no other choice but to wake up when he refused to stand up the next day.She had already accepted the reality that the company had blown up and ther
