"My husband will help with securing Alfred release. I hope he gets the favour of whoever is incharge" Avery said.Mrs Williams quickly objected, "I don't think that would be wise," she said, her voice tinged with urgency. "One of the officers mentioned that the disciplinary officer who arrested Alfred is known to be a womanizer. I think it would be best for you to handle the case yourself as a woman."Everyone turned and gave Mrs William a surprised look, their eyes wide with disbelief. "I should handle the case myself like I'm a prostitute?" Avery spat, her voice bristling with anger.Mrs. Williams, realizing her mistake, struggled to think of something to say. "Oh, no! I didn't mean it like that," she stammered, flushing red with embarrassment. "I just meant that, as a woman, you might have more luck appealing to the officer's...well, his desires, if you know what I mean."But the damage was already done, Avery's expression hardening into a scowl."I am not some cheap harlot to be t
As Avery walked into the Zealot Construction Company, she took a deep breath, and prepared herself for what was to come. Even though she tried to stay calm, Avery felt nervous and worried about being turned down. She was determined to make the most of this chance, but the fear of rejection was strong.Wanting everything to be official, she had asked her secretary to inform them a day before of an intended visit. "Hello, Miss Avery," A beautiful lady welcomed her at the parking lot with a smile. The pleasant reception caught Avery off guard, as she had prepared herself for potential hostility given Alfred's misdeeds. She pondered the unexpected hospitality, cautious but curious as to the motivation behind it."If you'll just follow me," the woman said, her tone cheerful and inviting. Avery followed her, walking through the clean and impressive hallways of the company, which showed signs of wealth and importance.Avery was unsure about what would happen next because of the unexpected w
As the two walked back into the office, the tension was palpable. Avery shot a stern look at Mr. Kofo, conveying her displeasure with the events that had transpired.Mr. Kofo, understanding the gravity of the situation, offered an apology. "I'm deeply sorry for the words I used earlier. It was not my intention to offend or accuse you, but rather, to test your integrity. I wanted to know if you were different from your cousin," he said with contrition.Avery, realizing the urgency of Alfred's situation, decided to let go of what had just transpired. "Let's focus on what we can do now," Avery stated firmly, her tone reflecting the seriousness of her request. "My cousin's safety is of utmost importance. What can be done to secure his release, given that a contract is no longer possible due to his actions?""I'll begin making the necessary calls to ensure your cousin's release as soon as we finish our conversation here," Mr. Kofo assured Avery.Avery acknowledged his efforts with a nod, s
The West Williams family, considering the sudden turn of events, realized that they had no choice but to uphold their promise and grant Avery the leadership position of the construction company. It was a sobering moment for them, as they knew the consequences of double-crossing her could be dire. Mrs. Williams, although reluctant to give Avery control, consoled herself with the knowledge that she and her husband would still receive a portion of the profits generated by the company. It was a small concession, but one that she was willing to accept to ensure the family's continued prosperity. Within a month after Avery was awarded the Zealot construction company contract, everything changed, including her financial status. With Alfred's newfound humility and support, Avery poured her heart into the contract and, before long, her name became synonymous with excellence and integrity in the industry, just as Jeremy had always envisioned. Jeremy continued to secretly help her support h
Mrs. Williams facing the crowd for support, called out to Avery, "Avery, please join James Albert at the podium. It is a great news!" The audience responded with enthusiastic applause, clearly eager to hear what Avery had to say.Avery rolled her eyes slightly at the request, but Jeremy, noticing her hesitation, gave her an encouraging nod. Understanding the gesture as a signal to proceed, she stepped forward and took her place next to James Albert, turning to face the eager audience.Avery cleared her throat and looked out into the sea of expectant faces. She wasn't entirely comfortable with the attention, but she knew how important this was for her company just like Jeremy had said.Avery's voice echoed with a forced gratitude as she accepted the honor. "Thank you so much, James Albert, for this opportunity. I feel honored to be able to accept this partnership, with my husband Jeremy's permission, of course," she said, glancing affectionately in his direction.Mrs. Williams was not
Jeremy, always being one step ahead of his enemies, wasted no time in contacting Jefferson as soon as he was alone. His voice was low and serious as he spoke into the phone, his eyes fixed on the ground as he considered all that had happened in the party."I want to know everything about James Albert within the next 24 hours," Jeremy instructed with the authority of a man who was used to getting what he wanted. He cut the call without waiting for a response. His face was serious as he tried to imagine what could happen.With a sigh, he walked to where Avery was waiting with Mia so they could return home ,his thoughts already beginning to turn to the next steps he would need to take. He was a man who knew the value of information, and he had no intention of letting James Albert or the Williams get the better of him.The moment Avery and Jeremy's car pulled away from the parking lot, Mrs. Williams wasted no time in closing approaching James Albert. James had just finished signing autogr
A stunning woman with blonde hair approached Avery the moment she landed at Albert International, holding a bouquet. "Welcome to our firm, Mrs. Avery," she said with a smile.Although caught a bit off guard by the unexpected greeting, Avery responded with grace and politeness. "Thank you for such a warm welcome," she replied, taking the bouquet with a gentle nod."This way to the banquet hall. The CEO awaits your arrival," the lady said and Avery arched a Brow. A quizzical expression crossed Avery's face as she heard the lady mention a banquet hall. "A banquet hall? I thought the meeting was supposed to be held in a conference room or the CEO's office" she questioned, raising a brow.The lady responded with a perplexed smile. "I believe the CEO asked to hold the meeting in the banquet hall, ma'am," she said, leading the way. Avery's confused look was obvious, but she decided to go along with the unexpected arrangement, curious about what this new development could mean.Avery's shoc
Avery's voice turned icy as she demanded an answer. "What is the condition?"James rose from his seat and moved closer to Avery, the closeness making her visibly uneasy. "Avery, you're a beautiful, successful woman. You deserve a man with a greater success story, not a low-class citizen like Jeremy," James said, his words dripping with disdain for her husband."Do you realize I'm a married woman Mr. James!" Avery said adjusting herself in anger."Oh come off it," James scoffed, pushing a document towards her. "Here are the divorce papers, already prepared with your name and your husband's. Just sign them and you'll be free of that dead weight. And then, you'll be mine," he declared a triumphant smile on his face.Avery snatched the papers from his hand, her eyes scanning the document with a mix of shock and fury. "You think you can just buy my marriage?" she asked, her voice trembling with anger."Why not?" James replied, his demeanor remaining confident. "You and I are two of a kind,
