The Wealth Swap: Reclaiming His Legacy Chapter 27
Victor and his wife exchanged glances but did not say anything.Patricia quickly excused herself. “I'll go ahead and get the groceries from the car. Thank you so much, my dear." While Patricia went to get the things Valerie bought for them, Valerie handed the money to her father.She was sure that he'd hand over almost all the money back to his wife after taking a little out of it.That was how much Victor loved and trusted his wife.He believed that Patricia would be able to manage the money well, just as she's been doing since they moved into their old villa.He counted the money and saw that it was a total sum of forty thousand dollars. It was the remaining amount from the hundred thousand dollars she got from her husband a while ago.Valerie believed that she'd be able to get more money from her husband because she truly needed those supplements for pregnant women.“Thank you so much, dear." Victor placed the money on the table and called out to Patricia.“Honey, come and see wha

“I understand what you mean, honey. But you know that we made a very big mistake. We should have ended his life when he was already grown up.” Victor spoke in so much regret.He took his glass and had a sip of his wine before turning to his wife with a long face.“We have to look for a way to put an end to his life once and for all." Victor suggested and Patricia agreed with him by nodding."Yeah, we have to do that but not now. We'll be the prime suspect when it happens. And you know that the commissioner can't help us.”"We can't afford to go to prison.”"You're right. We need to be very tactical in our planning and strategizing. When the time is right, we must strike.”"And that Angel betrayer won't escape our wrath as well.”The couple smiled at themselves and nodded.When they saw Valerie walking up to them, they stopped talking. She was still oblivious of her parents' evil deeds.She had made a plate of pancakes for herself and had a glass of orange juice on another hand.“What

When her maid left, Valerie fell into deep thoughts. She was wondering what happened to Maurice.How come the man who had sent some money to her earlier was now dead drunk.When Barbara came back with the driver, she made them carry Maurice to their room while following behind.They soon got to the place and dumped him on the bed.“Take off his shoes.” She ordered Barbara who quickly obeyed her.After they put Maurice to his bed, Valerie turned to her and instructed. “Hurry up and serve my dinner, I'm really famished." “Yes, Ma'am." Barbara and the driver turned to leave but she was called back while the man was asked to leave.“You. I hope you've not been running your mouth outside about what's going on here?" “I don't understand, Ma'am." Barbara gave her a confusing look while trying to comprehend what she was saying.Valerie stepped forward and gave her an intense glare before muttering. “You're always here and I'm sure that you overhear almost every conversation between Maurice

“Angel, what do you want? Why are you calling me repeatedly?" “I told you that I don't want to have anything to do with you but you're just so stubborn." Maxwell could easily call the police and ask them to send a restraining order for Angel. However, for some reason, he did not do it.He believed that Angel would soon get tired and stop coming after him.Maxwell had told her that he'd never forgive her for what she did but the latter had refused to give up.She was not backing down until Maxwell forgave her.In fact, she wants to be friends with him which might take some time to achieve.“Hi, Max. I'm outside your gate but your security won't let me in. I came to pick you up so that we can have dinner together." “Please, don't keep me waiting." Angel responded and ended the call immediately.She was hoping that Maxwell would come out and meet with her outside. If possible, they'd go and have dinner together.Angel didn't mind all the embarrassments she was getting from Maxwell. It

Angel did not like the comparison that was just made by Maxwell.She was not a golddigger like the Morgans. She earned every penny she has and worked hard for it. Even though some were illegal, she still worked for it.Comparing her with the Morgans was an insult to her person.“So you see, Maxwell. I'm not a golddigger like them. I work hard for my money.” Angel added with furrowed brows as she glared at Maxwell.Maxwell didn't say any more words to her, he just sighed and turned around, making his way back inside.“You can leave when you're done standing there. And thank you for the offer, it was thoughtful of you to look out for me." As Maxwell went in, his guards followed behind but one look from him sent them hurrying away from his side.If not for Pablo, he would have sacked them immediately. He didn't want anyone following him around.When Maxwell left her standing at the place, Angel stood there for a while before going into her car and zooming off.While in the car, she put

It was hard to believe that Angel was in love.“I mean it, Gratel. Although I don't know how it happened, I believe it's true.” “I've fallen in love with the man and I can't help it. I can't even get myself to tell him the truth because he never wants to see me.”“Hmph." Gratel chuckled and swallowed hard.She gave Angel a strange look, getting the latter quite uncomfortable.“Why are you giving me that look like I'm incapable of loving? I know that I act all strong and tough outside. However, I truly want to love someone and be loved back in return.”Gratel could not believe her eyes. Angel made herself completely vulnerable before her.She's not seen Angel in that state before. It only meant that she was speaking the truth.After a moment of silence, Gratel sighed deeply before asking her. “Tell me what you did. And who's the guy that's making you act this way." “I'd really love to see him." “It's someone I once sent to prison." Angel replied.“How did you send him to prison? Ple

There was absolute silence at the place for a while before the boss stood up and turned to Angel.He flashed a fake smile at her and chuckled.“Wow! You've really grown balls, my dear Angel." The man reached out and touched her cheeks but Angel yanked his hands away.“Don't you dare touch me again." “Or what are you going to do?" He threatened, with the fake smile still on his face.“Are you going to call the police on me?" The boss raised his brows at her, waiting for a response which was not forthcoming.As the man spoke, Angel remained silent and only glared at him.“Are you dumb now, feisty Angel. You can't talk anymore." Angel still remained silent. The man before her was a dangerous person and she had to act cautiously. If not, he might just get rid of her at the place and nothing will happen.The man was a notorious substance dealer in his territory and was not one to mess with.After a moment of silence, he turned around and strode towards her television set.

"How much do you think you can pay to regain your freedom?” The Boss let out a dry chuckle while glaring at Angel. “Well, even if you pay me, you won't completely be free because I'll always have my eyes on you.”He suddenly started towards the door while his bodyguard followed behind. When they got to the door, he stopped and without turning around, he muttered coldly.“I'm waiting for the money you can afford for your freedom. However, if it's not enough, you won't be free." After that, they opened the door and left, leaving Angel standing speechlessly at a spot.She could not believe what she had gotten herself into.Although she has some money saved up, she has no idea if it'd be enough to settle her blood thirsty and money hungry boss.Even after paying off her debt, she'd still have to be cautious and keep her mouth shut. If she says anything about the boss's business and gets the police coming after him, she would be eliminated by his men.Angel regretted everything and wishe

Pablo smiled sadly and said to him, "I miss them as well. And I'm certain that your parents are proud of you. I know that they would have traded anything to stay alive and see you grow up.”He reached out and patted Maxwell gently on the back. “You're strong, Maxwell and I'm happy to help you." Maxwell remained silent and after a while, he decided to wave it off. “Thank you for offering to help me fight those people in court. I know how busy you've become but you chose to always stand by me.”"Stop thanking me. It's my duty to always fight for you. Your Dad was a good man and treated me well. So let's say that I'm repaying his good deeds.” Pablo replied to him, smiling warmly.After their time together at the place, Pablo went back home and so did Maxwell.Since he was studying online, he needed to go home and meet up with his classes.Maxwell wanted to learn more about business management. His father has left him with some businesses which he had taken over.However, he was not cap

"Thank you, Boss.” Angel muttered and turned around to leave. Her heart was beating chaotically as she walked out in freedom.Well, her freedom depends on her. However, she had no intention of snitching on the Boss.Moreover, he helped her in the past and she's been surviving from what she earns from errands and other stuff she was involved in.***Later that evening, Maxwell met up with his lawyer, Pablo at a fancy coffee cafe.They wanted to discuss the court case which would be happening the next day.The man was already at the place and was sipping coffee when Maxwell showed up.“Mr. Pablo." He greeted the man and sat opposite the man who responded to him with a nod.He sat on the chair opposite Mr. Pablo and ordered coffee for himself as well.“I can see that you're handling things just fine at the company." Pablo commented with a warm smile on his face and Maxwell nodded in excitement.“It's going really fine. And as it stands, we have two huge projects that will be starting soo

With the gun still pointed at her, the young man drew backwards before asking again.“How can I be sure that you're telling the truth?" “You can call him and ask him to confirm." Angel replied immediately.And without another word, the man brought out his phone and put a call across to the boss.“Boss, there's a young lady here to see you. She said that her name is…” The man paused the call and turned to Angel before asking."What is that name of yours?”"Tell him it's Angel.”The man continued with his call and the next minute, Angel was on her way in, accompanied by the man in a hoodie.She remembered the day she came there and how the Boss helped her. It was the boss who helped her with the money she needed for her sister's surgery.Unfortunately, her sister did not make it and she had to return the money through one of his boys.The boss had to call her later to send an interest or she'll be in trouble.Angel was led inside and soon she was standing before the boss.The man was s

While standing there and gaping at the door which had just been closed before her, Valerie heard her phone ringing and hurried to answer it.She saw that the caller was her father and quickly answered it.“Dad." “Valerie, we did not talk about the lawyer when you came around. Tell me, have you found one who would be representing you?"Victor had thought about it and decided to find out.He wanted to help get a lawyer for her but she refused. Although Victor was sure that no one would want to help him after the scandal, he still wanted to try but Valerie refused his help.His fear was that the so-called lawyer Valerie had employed would charge so much and still not do his job well.The case was a delicate one so whoever would be handling it must be a professional.Victor was sure that if a good lawyer handles the case, Valerie would be victorious and get what she deserved. After she got everything due for her, she'd hand them over to her parents. By doing so, the Morgans would be able
