“What is going on with him?” The onlookers gaped.“Let me be specific with you, how dare you walk up the podium! Someone should take him away.”Grandfather Oliver was sure about this, he didn’t want anyone to see him as an easy man, if he displayed any weakness now all the prestigious families would be scared of losing their share.Teaching Warren a lowly commoner a lesson of his life will be a perfect way to incorporate fear into everyone.“Please don’t get the wrong idea Grandpa, I am only here to . . .”Harlan out of nowhere interjected. “I sent him to inform you that I will be coming late, if you will allow he’s only acting on my order.”Warren smudged his face and everyone's tension died down in a hassle.He then moved back, Harlan walked up the podium, and everyone gaped at his luxurious lifestyle, his suits were from the best designers overseas, and his wristwatch binged brightly as he folded up his sleeves and held the table.“Mr Harlan I didn’t expect you to show up, it was j
Immediately Grandfather Oliver Lance jogged to meet them.He snatched Jake's hand from grasping Sawyer.“Get your filthy hand off her.” He gripped.Jake knew more than anyone how enraged his father was, but that didn’t mean he would be humiliated too. Just a few hours ago he was so full of himself that he’d struck a great deal and accomplished his dream of becoming the manager of the Lance family group with the support of his father.“I’m sorry Father, I wanted to bring her to you.”"Shut up this instant!"Oliver Lance wasted no time in slapping Jake across the face. With his face plunged down another slap swept across his face“Sawyer, you have done a great deal by striking the deal with the Welsh group how about you finish what you started.”Warren smirked at Oliver Lance's tactful approach. The man should be in politics and not a business with this kind tactful personality of his, he’d prosper very well.Meanwhile Sawyer on the other hand looked at the three men from one eye to ano
Warren was not entirely surprised by his mother in law action; now that Sawyer had gotten an opportunity to become influential she would want to link her up with a rich man."Sawyer works with me, mind if I tell you that I'm not useless." Laughing hard, Lars arrogantly bumped Warren's stomach."Let's see if she will not leave you for me."“Warren I’m always curious..” she doesn’t want to seem like she’s having a mistrust about him. She stopped and gave Warren a warm smile.“Your mood has lifted, it’s good to see you lightheaded,” Warren said.When they got home Sawyer's mother was super excited but what she didn't expect was the real mogul wives calling her out. Since her membership expired and she was paying in instalments they never valued her, when she saw the call she was super flushed.“Isla I didn’t know your daughter is in favour of the super-rich Lord Welsh, come to the gathering tomorrow we have a free ticket for you.”She read it aloud, just the fact that his daughter gained
The owner of the group was a big man and none of them had seen him before, he was more of an anonymous organizer. But his bad reputation preceded him,“That is not true, it’s the network,” Isla Lance said shakingly, Warren, annoyed by his mother in law action rolled his eyes, there was evidence yet she chose not to believe it. "Lars is a cheat."Then Lars quickly said. “ nonsense! I now understand why everybody complains about your service. It's because it’s poor.”Lars then turns to Isla Lance, her eyes have changed, she looks struck by this and trying to gain her stand. “Mother don’t worry I will send the fund to you in no time, just forward me your account details,”Warren quickly snorted, irritation welled up Lars's face. “How dare you filthy! Do you have any idea what they even mean? It’s simply meant overdraft. Not insufficient funds. My family is well-known all over North Cleveland. Five million is a piece of cake.”Warren's indifferent and mocking face bottled him up. He fid
The panic on Isla Lance's face increased, and she stumbled back, Warren couldn't just sit back and let the wicked man torture his mother-in-law although Sawyer might act hard with her she loved her regardless, and would have a restless night if anything happened to her.She rushed forward before it reached her turn. "Please sir, we were about to round up. Don’t want to provoke you, he was only trying to help me pay for my debt and have my card renewal in place."How selfish, Isla Lance was only defending this good for nothing despite not having anything and having tricked her. Does she have any idea what this man is capable of?"It was him, Warren caused the whole commotion, if he hadn't come everything would have been in place."She grabbed Benedict by his trousers although she was like an ant beside him, a shrug threw her away before she could imagine, panicking she imagined, what would she do now?The same blow that got Lars choking and still receiving a severe beating would either
“Who?” Coughing and choking on his breath.“Floyd Galen, it was all his ideas, he want me to marry Sawyer and afterwards proceed with his plan. I swear on my life I don’t know what the plan is, please let me go.”Warren couldn’t hold back his shock when he heard that Floyd Galen sent Lars Claude to fake his Mother-in-law.Isla Lance couldn’t believe that she was spooked beyond imagination. She could not react even if she found the truth coming out of his mouth.Immediately Benedict rolled up his sleeves. “I thought you were acting out of your wit, that was not the case, someone even paid you to challenge him.”Now there was no compassion in Benedict's eyes at all. Lars had jogged his cake so he’s giving him what he deserved.Afterwards, Lars was rammed into the wall and taught his lesson. Isla Lance waited for her turn when the man turned to Warren. “What about her, didn’t she insult you?”Warren nudged Benedict. “Not her, she's my mother-in-law, now for humiliating her. I don’t nee
They were already at the field with their white polo shirts and shorts on.One even looked like a bloated pumpkin but he didn’t mind, he turned to Grandfather Oliver. “I want to go into business with you, so my shares could grow now.”Warren rushed to get the bat for his grandfather in law as he demanded. He quickly handed it over to him, grabbed the water bottle in his hand and rushed under the shade to wait for him.“Your grandson in law looks very obedient.” His companion standing by his right suggested, the man sneered.“That is how poor people are, atleast dogs like them should continue to be dogs.”They looked at each other and exchanged a loud chuckle that echoed before they kicked the ball.“Your granddaughter helped you gain fame now you’re balling with us.”Grandfather Oliver's eyes shot a glare as he kicked the ball into the air.“What, I’m a big man! All of you know that why else will you follow me out here if it wasn’t for my big name.”Grandfather Oliver proudly shunned
In the brink of an eye, the field was cleared and there were only two cars available at the venue, Grandfather Oliver kept his mute he didn't utter anything. He felt stupid and insulted for betting on Warren. But had he not bet on him he would be laughed at and mocked at the same time they wouldn’t invest with him. But after several considerations, he felt more stupid for putting his egg in a broken basket."This is a street boy who barely knows what a race means." The men said in a mocking tone."Stop it!” Jake quickly urged his father. Then talked to him by the side. “Father, why did you agree to them, Warren can't race, what if the worse happens and you lose the deal? Everything where will that leave us." Grandfather Oliver gave this some wistful thought and sighed, "In the street, at least I won't accept defeat just like that."What was going on? From the look of things Warren looked confident and he doesn't seem to fidget at all.Is it that Warren was going to win the bet or l
The lady did not stop there she went on to put the painting on display. With the same disgust clouding her features.Warren stared at her in shock. So her judgement was only a measure of how well each of Deerick's classmates were doing and Sawyer's gift isn’t enough. Just some hours ago before Clifford went down the drill they hyping him and celebrating the fact that he came in such an extraordinary car.One of their classmates stood up. “I brought the best wild ginseng root for you to brew your coffee with.”Derrick thanked each one of them, he collected the box of ginseng and opened it and a well-stashed ginseng root was inside, single the root had been known for its herbal benefits one could guess how much it was worth, it was worth thousands of dollars and more.Another of his classmates came down he stuffed his hand into his pocket flew his pen across the paper and handed Derrick a cheque for twenty thousand dollars.He kept receiving gifts from each other of their classmates. So
Clifford proudly replied to their questions especially when they asked about securing a spot with the Welsh group. “Sure! you can! forward your resume, my dad can’t reject your resume in my hand he will get you one of their best start-off jobs.”Warren was shocked by all this, what is this bully turning his Welsh group into? he's busy chartering people just anyone and using his father as an excuse. More so he didn’t know that the man held such a high position. but now that he knows he won't sleep over it since his son wants to abuse the connection he has.This was Clifford flashing his flamboyance and indirectly firing his father. Warren quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket and searched for the name of Clifford's father on the lists of workers at the Welsh group, he found out that Clifford was right regarding the position his father held.He then placed a phone call that was unstable and walked to the corner when he noticed that all eyes were on him regarding the race and the
Clifford had barely the temper to think if he lost face in the predefined presence of his friends they would kick him and question his integrity.Furiously he chewed on his jaw and to see his gaze to the car combustion engine with the coffee in his hand he poured it infinitely.He raised his head and glared at every single one of them gathered there. “Look here I'm not a sore pathetic loser like Warren, I will not seek the sympathy of the good for nothing Sawyer decided to marry.”Suddenly he carried another gallon and poured his car until it was filled up and was pouring with the coffee not too long one of his friends rushed to sit in front of the driver's seat and start the car.At first, the car didn’t want to start but then smoke started emanating distorting the sound of his car engine that kept going off and slipping down he stood grim despite the burning sensation in his heart.The onlookers were extremely thrilled and excited and were now talking and murmuring in the background
Warren overtaking Clifford was still a nightmare. How could a fake Spectre take over his own original and limited edition at that?This left everyone restless and in panic, lucky enough for them they didn’t get anything, unlike the patriarchs who lied down their shares just for Warren to lose.They were still dumbfounded. No one would think Warren whom they have completely overlooked will fail would overtake Clifford's car at such speeds and manoeuvresRita was a butch, she lied about Warren knowing his ways with cars and driving recklessly was a trait of a car racer.Clifford was not halfway through with the race on the road and Warren had taken a turn through the road and yes heading towards them.Vroom…Clifford increased his car acceleration but his car won’t just go fasterWhen Clifford reached the finish line, there was a loud clap resonating through the air. His eyes almost bulged out as they looked around to find out the cheers were not for him but for his opponent.He hit his
Derrick was surprised by this bet but the harder he thinks about it the more exciting it is for him.Initially, he had gone to the Fairfield company to invite his friend over there, little did he know that Clifford was the manager there, so while he was passing out the information about his launching event.Then somebody asked will Sawyer be present and you replied, “I have invited all our classmates except for you I only came here because I was having a meeting but don’t get me wrong for the late invite. I hope to see you.”After hearing these Clifford felt left out he stomped out from his office. He glared at Derrick, questioning what he meant by inviting all his classmates except him, Derrick had no option but to give the party invite to him. It was more of a forced invite, Derrick tilted his head and looked at Clifford. “Man, don’t create a scene here.”“Derrick why don’t you stay at the corner we are trying to make your launching event permeable with some play, the new guy that
This was becoming unbearable for Clifford as Sawyer looked more radiant and beautiful than before and when he also learnt that she was the director of her grandfather's group, his view towards her changed. And with her trained leg pulled out of the classic Rolls Royce car, everyone started gossiping about her.“Sawyer became exceptionally rich, wow, I knew from high school she was destined for something great.”“Stop it do you know what it means to be the director of the Lance family group,”They exclaimed. “Woah do you mean her grandfather overlooked all his sons and daughters and handed the company to Sawyer? Sawyer is lucky to be the first woman with administrative control.”“But the problem lies with her choice of spouse.”Clifford couldn’t believe his ear, “are you telling me Sawyer married that good for nothing?”They exchanged glances reflecting on high school and why he almost beat Derrick to a pulp. “Don’t tell me you’re not over Sawyer. No one would because she’s become so p
Derrick's new site for his coffee shop was very close to the Lance family group, hence the drive there would take less time for them since the road was empty and free from traffic. Warren felt pretty somehow as to why Derrick decided to open his cafè here.But then you can’t be certain that because of the past event, he would ignore the lucrative sensation booking from the place, the Lance family group was located in the heartbeat of the town.However, it was a nice and brilliant idea for Derrick to open his cafè here.Derrick Cafè, named after his family name, Walter, was located at the corner of the street with several decorations around it to indicate its launch. It was so big occupying two floors for someone who dedicated his lifetime to learning different delicacies and coffee brewing abroad.Warren drove his wife’s car with the two of them inside. He parked it at the corner when he noticed that there were a few cars at the venue already, they coming and going if the people indic
Warren got on his scooter, surveyed the cloud and did some weather checks on his phone before getting on the road.He saw that it would rain in a few minutes, and gladly the online search to check for the nearby antique shop was not that far, if there was a little speed he would get there before he knew it.He then saw one painting that caught his attention, it was an ancient painting but no modern man would know it was worth a whole hefty price. He held it in his hand and walked inside the Lance family mansion.He called Sawyer to be sure she was in the house, Sawyer gaped in surprise when she saw the wrapped frame in Warren's hand, she stared at him dumbfounded and asked. “What is that in your hands?”Warren smiled and kept it in the corner. “I bought it for your friend Derrick since were going there for his launch, I think a monument to remember us by is a good idea.”Sawyer was flattered, at least Derrick wouldn’t have to deride Warren that much.“You bought it?” Sawyer inquired,
The picky and rude customer that got fired did not only regret missing a lucrative customer just by judging them from an outward appearance he also lost his job, he reflected on her Warren told him and slapped himself across the check so hard that it ached but it doesn't ache like the pain of losing your work.As Warren stepped out of the place he felt a vomit of challenge, in a mutation he pondered on what he would tell Sawyer regarding his impulsive spending, he'd wasted money over the five thousand dollars he lied about Harlan giving him. He can’t defend himself that he’s spent within the limit he set, meanwhile, he’s exceeded his budget.He can’t say he added another money for him after all one knows what he exactly did with the first quarter.He thought about what he could do until a perfect idea struck his head, he came to a stop at a nearby shop, and he then made a call to the company that they should make it look like a normal cake that as a client he won’t want it to be too o
