Everyone in the living room froze. It was more than 20 seconds later when the silence was broken by Amelia tears."Joseph... Joseph look! This is the daughter we brought up with so much effort. Amelia cried as she complained. I went through so much pain to bring her up. Now, she would rather believe an outsider than believe me!"I don't know why my life is like this!"Mom, let me tell this today. Ava had long seen through her mother pretentious act. She said firmly, "I will not get rid of this baby, nor will I divorce James. Don't try to change my mind."James, let's go, Ava dragged him out.You ungrateful child! If you don't bother coming back! Said Amelia as she watched her daughter walked out of the house with James.That's enough! They are gone already. Stop shouting! Joseph gave Amelia tissue to wipe her tears, "Why are you doing this? James is not that bad."What's good about him?" Amelia took the tissue with an angry look. She looked at him and asked, is he as wealthy as Alex?"
“Sir, welcome to our store. James and Henry just entered the store when two attractive sales women greeted them respectfully.James ignored them and worked straight to the clothes rack. He glanced at the gowns before picking three from the clothes. I will take these,James said casually.Okay sir, the gowns cost at least a million each. The salesgirl saw that James did not even bat and eyelid at the price and knew that he was a rich man.The gowns he picked was all from the latest style and season. These as well… James hesitated for a while before he went to the coats section, and told the salesgirl to pick two Givenchy coat as well. The salesgirl girl asked James, “Sir would you want me to recommend shoes to go with the dresses?” Since the customer seemed willing to spend, the salesgirl took the opportunity to recommend some items to James to make more sales. We have high heels and low shoes that are meant to match with the gowns.High heels? James raised his eyebrow at those words.
“That’s right.” James nodded. After hearing James reply, Celine scoffed haughtily, the deputy Ceo of Life Long Group is getting stopped outside the door by two dogs!Ha!” Let’s go Celine drag her brother and continue on her way. Didn’t you say that he was amazing? I would like to see how amazing he is.Celine… James…. James!” Michael continue calling out for James as he was pulled forcibly into the banquet by his sister. That’s enough, we should go now, Noel glanced at his watch and said, The elders are already inside. Let’s go inside.Keep a close watch on them! Instructed Ayden as he walked past security into the hall. He seemed to be angry after ignored by Michael and his sister. Henry and his friends continued talking as they walked. I heard that the mysterious Mr Miller will be coming, is it true?” I don’t know know, either the man is so mysterious. Till now no one has actually seen him in person, so we don’t know if he’s short or tall, slim or fat, fair or black.Whatever!” Ale
This fool… how did he get in?” Alex took big steps quickly approaching him. Ayden and Noel saw where he was heading, and both quickly got up and followed Alex.Wow, James you managed to get in! Alex grinned and managed to asked insultingly, did you use Leo Meyer’s name again? He must have, everyone knows he’s close to the Meyers family now, Ayden said with a disdainful laugh. However, everyone still sees the same way. Now matter the person’s ass you look, a useless man is still a useless man.James take my advice, Alex pat James condescendingly with a finger and said, run along with your tail between your legs. There’s a very important person coming here today.You are just a loser, if you stay here you will only end up embarrassing your wife and her family.A very important person?James eyed the hand Alex put on his chest, he did not remove it, instead he stepped forward and asked challengingly, isn’t the guest the mysterious Mr Miller that everyone is trying to please? What if I wa
From what I know it’s neither James nor that other Mr Miller. Henry was obviously hinting at something.Who was it then? The more Henry held back, the most curious people get. Ava you might not know but I’m the one who asked my father to speak to Mr Meyer about it. He would not have helped otherwise, Isaac said with pride.What are you talking about? Ava was confused . She was sure that James had told her he was the one who had invested the money in the new company’s project. He had done it in the Millers organization name I order to keep his identity a secret. She wondered why Isaac was now saying it was his father who had convinced Leo Meyer to help.“Ava, I didn’t tell you anything about it earlier. I hope you will not blame me for that, Isaac said reassuringly when he saw the shocked expression on Ava’ face. After the new project encountered problems, Isaac had indeed asked his father for help. At the restaurant that day, James also claimed that he would settle the problem for Ava
Mr Miller, Henry called out respectfully. He immediately approached James. Is James Mr Miller? Everyone wondered. The crowd was shocked. They were all surprised as if they were hit by a thunder strike.That’s impossible! How can he be Mr Miller? Asked someone. Isn’t he the famous Bailey useless son-in-law? Asked his mother. Isaac, Ayden and Noel were also surprised, they literally opened in shock. Their expression were filled with disbelief, doubt and confusion. Ava was staring at the expressionless James, her eyes wide with shock. Surprised, shock filled her face.No, it’s not possible! Just then Isaac who had just been hit by his father rushed forward. He shouted, how can he be Mr Miller? He is just a loser and the useless son-in-law of the Bailey family. Before that he was just a delivery guy.Yeah, Noel step forward to support Isaac. He said angrily, he is just a loser and a useless guy who lives off his wife and her family. That’s right he can’t be Mr Miller. It’s impossible. Ay
“I… Noel did not know what to do. Even if James was willing to let him off, Leo might not agree to it. Noel had insulted James, to Leo you are also insulting the whole Millers organization.“Henry, spread the word. Leo’s expression was cold. He said, tell them what I said, we will not work with any company that has dealings with the Lawson company in the future. We will immediately cease contact with them. This includes the companies we are currently working with. Everyone was shocked by Leo’s announcement. Lawson group of companies was likely to be cut off from the business world. Many people would lose money because they were connected with the Lawson in some way or another. Noel Father, the Ceo of Lawson company, was pale as snow. Mr Lawson you had better talk some sense into your son, said someone. It’s all your fault for not teaching your son manners, now that he has offended Mr Miller, don’t involve anyone else, shouted another. His father had hoped to resolve the matter quiet
Ava turned around and walked out of the conference hall.“Ava what are you doing? Jackson turned around when he saw his granddaughter walking out of the hall. He wondered what could be more important than James now. Ava had never felt a sense of betrayal before. Her husband, the man whom she had shared a man bed with for the past three years, had turned out to be the heir of Millers organization. He had lied to her for so long. He even told her he was just the heir to a small company. She wondered if he had done so because he was afraid of her.James too was in a fluster when he saw his wife leaving.“Mr Miller… Leo grabbed him and asked anxiously, why is Mrs Miller leaving? This is bad! James immediately walked out after Ava. James had not intended to reveal his identity soon, but Isaac and the others had simply been arrogant. Dad, was I too impulsive today? Asked Henry Meyer guiltily when he saw James running after his wife. Leo did not reply to him, but his silence already showed e
