"I don't plan on finding a new suitor for Pamela." Mr Mason said.Trisha chided rudely. "Why wait father, are you blinded by Joshua's action?""Shut up, you must not interfere." Mr Mason turned his gaze to Joshua who stood at the horizon with a disgusted look on as if he had seen death in the face. He was listening to them and could tell Mr Mason meant what he said from earlier, he had overheard him from the passage where he was talking to Mr Hudson. Even with the man being shaken, Mr Madin finds him approachable. He was far much better than him and to pay for his debt without interest he sought to marry off his daughter would be perfect.How could this be, this loser could go into the fire where they couldn't. Mr Hudson approached Joshua."Hey pumpkin, it would interest you that your wife will soon be married off to me thanks to the Stark fit awarding the contract.""You think so? It's so sad you haven't learnt from your lesson.""How magnificent, either way, you're going to lose whi
"Joshua," Mr Mason called out as he walked inside. He raised his eyes to see the man standing by the small bear parlour. "Come here."Joshua humbly walked over. Could it have been any less stressful managing the company, checking up on his wife and at the same time being in charge of taking care of the mansion without single regard from him?Not only did every swooned over Pamela's lucky stark glimmering in the sky but they also wished they would make him theirs."I don't want to see you in the hospital." The man said, gulping the gin."And why is that?" He inquired and Mr Mason glared at him."Because you're going to be held responsible for the fire outbreak at the museum, it was a grand location, and you've worked there before, Mr Clark would want to lay the blame on someone to take the tracking and probing.""Father, that is not possible, you fully know I'm innocent.""That doesn't matter, and you're leaving the mansion soon, you would no longer be able to use our name anymore, ban
"I'm sorry Mr Joshua, please just this one chance I promise it won't repeat itself."Joshua frowned in agitation, why was the man being stubborn? "It serves you right.""Mr Joshua please don't punish us like this."Hence Joshua hurriedly took his phone and called Laura."I want the paper and everything prepared, delivered to me in the next ten minutes.""What papers sir?" She inquired.Mr Hunter was by the side running his palm together pleading. Joshua gazed down at him coldly."I mean the resignation letter and as well as withdrawal of funding."The line was silent for a while before she affirmed. "Okay sir, I got this. I will have it sent over.""Mr Hunter, you embezzled funds, go to the office, have your ledgers prepared by amateur and you're wisest of all timing the Starks name." Joshua narrated checking through the paper in his hand.Joshua noticed someone walk up to then, she was dressed elegantly, with heavy makeup.Could that be one of Mr Hunter's mistresses? She looked too yo
"What do you mean by stop? You think because you saved my daughter I would treat you any better?" He scoffed at Joshua. Mrs Mason chimed in begging Mr Mason to stop as the guests will start serving anytime soon."Father, it's okay you can forgive him, he had turned a new leaf and—"Trisha had been keeping in touch with their brother Raphael, when he was exiled abroad with nothing, she dashed out on all of her savings and forced him to take them from her."Damn it, you both should get out of my house! I will not condone that." Raphael's face was severed.Joshua glared at him coldly and said. " He is your son and not an outsider.""Shut up before I get done with you!" He fired at Joshua.They struggled and managed to break free from Mr Mason. Mrs Mason stood in between breaking the fight."You should stop this! All of you!"Then there was a silence, Mr Mason eased the moment he heard the doorbell ring."Are we expecting someone?" Mr Mason asked with his brow furrowed."Of course we are
Raphael looked at Joshua in dismay, if he truly meant that and had the card as claimed, what would he be doing in this house as a lowly live-in son-in-law?"I think you're crazy and find it entertaining to mock me.""You think?" Joshua echoed behind him, "This is just but last chance." He muttered to him.Raphael turned around and walked closer to him."So you're saying you will fund my company. What are the terms if I'm to hold onto your words?""Ten per cent profit share from your income and I will gauge and make sure to support your aspiration, you pay back within the time stipulated in the contract and I shall make sure you get an exclusive benefit from me that is if it makes sales with the first side month.""I heard you're placed on an embargo, is it that you can't set up your business?""Raphael Mason," Joshua called out while tucking in his shirt. "You said it yourself, good for nothing, losers like us will sheath on something to become someone in the society. You begged for i
Joshua thought the woman would punish them for their crime. So he smiled and trudged their shoulders making the vile situation seem light. Obviously, she didn't react out of control."You should not redress them, they were only doing their job I believe." Joshua was sure it was a law set by those that own the major part of the city, but they had a few reserve places where those that were regarded as lower members could stay and fine, it wouldn't have been any of the floors but the ground floor and it was in the lobby not hidden from the sight of the public. The guards exchanged nervous glances and they were shocked just like Joshua. He looked through the window and sighed while trying to point out Raphael.The woman's gaze waned as she looked at Joshua who placed his hand on one of the guards' shoulders and her expression changed but not without a warning she knew why he was doing that. Trying to secure their source of income. They were uneased, but even with the shabby old clothin
They barely said a thing or two and it was already ten minutes to eleven, Raphael was and had been patient enough.The man beside them chuckled loudly and was mocking Joshua and kicking him with his tongue."I told you he has nothing to offer, why bring him to such a beautiful place believing him when ye had painted black into a beautiful bright colour?"I have overstayed." The man let out grabbing his coat from the seat. And stood to bow his head even with the disappointment he felt towards Joshua."I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Mr Bentley said as he hurried towards them.Raphael couldn't believe his eyes, so the famous Samuel L. Smith was standing before them, his hand held right onto his portfolio bag. He had never seen him before and as the most popular lawyer in the state with barely zero loss cases, he was hence regarded as top-notch. No one dares approach him except the extremely rich; the executive and the Stark as their attorney and those that we're super in need of his
Unfortunately, Joshua did not say anything. It proved that in his case time did not change anything. He's been a loser all his life and people mocked him, a situation that seems to have bolstered over the last five years.The woman couldn't tell hence she increased her cockiness and said. " I don't blame you, you're already used to keeping up with insults, ain't you?"The man sitting at the far table chuckled at the meanness of the woman. Her voice was loud enough that it sent the few people there going."I heard you saved her from the fire, it was quite unbelievable, but here you are unacknowledged." Joshua had creases formed on his forehead. Endurance was a virtue he possessed but stupid people like this woman standing before him who was always pushing him to the cliff couldn't stop at anything good. Silly how with a snap of his finger she would change course and then become more terrible than those on the street. She was unexpectedly digging her own grave.Joshua now pulled his ph
