In the blink of an eye, the Martins Group Construction workers went back to work. Director Evans invited his Team Leaders to the meeting at the Construction site.Director Evans looked at his Team Leaders and said, "CEO Martins has given the Airport tender to a newly established company, the Bennet Group.The CEO indicated that he promised President Bennet that we would help him for one year while we were training the Bennet Group Construction workers. Our salaries will be paid by the Martins Group."At that moment, President Bennet and Executive Secretary Gibbs walked into the meeting room. Director Evans looked at the young men and asked, "May I help you?"President Bennet smiled and replied, "Apologies for gate-crushing your meeting. My name is President Bennet, and this is my Executive Secretary, Henry Gibbs. Director Evans, do you mind if we join you?"Director Evans smiled and shook their hands, "Nice to meet you, President Bennet." Then he introduced his Team Leaders to Presiden
Two weeks later, the HR Manager, Cordelia Townsend invited Director Evans and his Team Leaders to be part of the interview process. They had shortlisted seven thousand candidates to fill five thousand positions.Miss Townsend arranged eleven panels with two panelists each. Director Evans brought the Martins Group HR team to assist. The interviews took the whole two weeks.The panelists recommended six thousand candidates for appointment. Unbeknownst to them, President Bennet was willing to hire only two hundred Construction workers.On the 1st of April, two hundred employees reported to the Construction site. Director Evans took his phone and dialed the HR Manager and asked, "Hello Miss Townsend, what happened to the five thousand eight hundred candidates we recommended?"Miss Townsend indicated that she prepared a submission with the names of the recommended candidates to President Bennet for approval. However, he only approved two hundred candidates. Also, he didn't give her any expl
Jordan didn't sleep a wink, he was tossing and turning. What would happen to his company should he lose Avery? Who was going to finish the airport since he didn't have enough workforce?What if she told her father to call back the Martins Group Construction workers? He started panicking.At the Bennet Group, Henry Gibbs was giving President Bennet feedback regarding the progress on the Construction site, but he didn't hear a word. He was absent-minded thinking about ways of winning back Avery.At 12 pm, he took his car keys and drove to the university to coax his girlfriend. When he was parking his car, he saw Avery getting in the car of an old man.He was fuming with anger; Avery was avoiding him because she was having an affair with an old man.He wanted to rush to them and pull Avery out of the car, but he restrained himself. He decided to follow their car. Dr Lambert looked in his rearview mirror and said, "Avery, there is a red Mercedes-Benz following us. Do you know this car?"Av
A month later on Friday, Avery took Gabriella to His Mercy restaurant for lunch. They were holding each other's hands chatting and laughing. When they went to their private room, they bumped into Jordan walking out of the private room with a lady.Their eyes met and the smile on Avery's face froze. Avery quickened her pace. Jordan excused himself then he followed Avery to their private room. He greeted them and said, "Avery, may I have a word?"Avery looked at Gabriella and said, "I will be back after five minutes." Then she followed Jordan. She closed the door then she stopped outside the door. She looked at Jordan and said, "Mr Bennet, you have four minutes."Jordan smiled and replied, "Baby, I missed you. Please forgive me for everything I've done. Please unblock my number." Avery looked at him and asked, "Are you done?"Jordan nodded his head then Avery replied coldly, "I forgive you, Mr Bennet. Please stop pestering me." She was about to open the door when Jordan suddenly hugged h
Jordan started typing the text message and replied, "Baby, I missed you so much. I wanted to see your face. Unfortunately, you were in the exam hall already.I will pick you up at 1 pm and I will take you to watch a movie just to distress. Love you more."At 12 pm, Jordan told Henry that he was going out and that he might not be able to come back. Then he took his car keys and left.He parked his car and then dialed Avery's number. When it was connected, he said, "I am parking opposite your dormitory."A few minutes later, Avery walked to Jordan's car. She walked to the passenger door, but Jordan opened the back seat door. Avery looked at him with questioning eyes.Jordan smiled broadly and replied, "Please sit here, my love. Today I will be your chauffeur." Jordan sneered in his heart. Who did she think she was? The front seat was reserved for his future wife.Avery was reluctant, but she sat in the back seat. Jordan smiled and asked, "I heard that you are doing both first and second
In the blink of an eye, the year was up, and the Martins Group called back its Construction workers. CEO Martins gave them a month's vacation leave to recharge their batteries.Since the Bennet Group Construction workers were not aware that their colleagues belonged to the Martins Group, President Bennet decided to give them a month's vacation leave as well.Jordan went to the university to look for Avery. She was doing her third and fourth years. He asked the security guard to call Avery for him.Avery last saw Jordan when she gave him the mansion and the Penthouse set of keys. He had ignored her text messages and her calls.The security guard came back and said, "Miss Martins doesn't want to see you, Sir. She indicated that she didn't know you."Jordan walked to his car dejectedly. He bumped into Gabriella. She was going to see Avery. Jordan smiled at her and said, "Hi Gabriella, are you well?" Gabriella looked at Jordan and asked coldly, "What do you want, Mr Bennet?"Jordan smiled
In the blink of an eye, Sage was two years old. The Moore family never set foot at the Taylor mansion. In their hearts, baby Sage didn't exist. They built the second-biggest shopping mall in the country. They don't need the Taylor family anymore.They were tired of people gossiping behind their backs, indicating that they were rich because of the Taylor family. They were not aware that their youngest daughter, Valeria, was visiting the Restoration Group every week.Xavier had given Cole the instruction that he didn't want to see anyone from the Moore family. Their behaviour after the passing of their daughter didn't sit well with him.The first time Valeria visited the Restoration Group, she introduced herself as Xavier Taylor's future wife. The receptionists treated her with respect.However, Xavier's Executive Secretary, Cole Knight, was looking at her with disgust and disdain in his eyes.He chased her away all the time when he saw her. Valeria vowed that as soon as she became Xavie
At the Martins mansion, August was in the living room with his wife talking. He looked at his wife and said, "I received the graduation ceremony dates for our children. They will be graduating on Saturday, the 15th of December.Aiden's graduation ceremony will be at 9 am and Avery's graduation ceremony will be at 2 pm. I was thinking since our children will be graduating on the same day. Why don't we have a combined graduation party?"Elizabeth was surprised to hear that Avery was graduating as well. Didn't she study medicine? She looked at her husband and said, "Please leave my son's graduation party to me.Do whatever you want at your daughter's graduation party. I will never allow her to steal my son's limelight."August was dumbfounded. He was hoping that for the first time his wife would put their differences aside and accompany him to celebrate their daughter's achievement.August looked at his wife with pleading eyes and said, "Elizabeth, our daughter needs your support. For onc
Two days before the Gala, Xavier and his wife were at the arrival terminal waiting for the Shelton family. A few minutes later, the Shelton family private jet landed at the King Shaka International Airport.When Logan saw his big sister, he quickened his pace, but when he saw the man beside her, his steps halted. He was intimidated by his brother-in-law's aura. He decided to wait for his parents.Ethan looked at his brother and asked, "Why are you stopping?" Logan smiled and replied, "I am waiting for you guys."Ethan raised his eyes to meet his brother-in-law's eyes and asked softly, "Why is my brother-in-law's aura so intimidating?" He felt pressured when he looked at him.Avery smiled brightly at them and said, "I am so happy that you are here." Then she hugged her Godmother tightly.Her Godfather kissed her on both cheeks, then her brothers hugged her tightly, grinning from ear to ear. Logan whispered, "Brother-in-law is intimidating." Avery giggled and ruffled his hair.Her Godpar
Sage nodded her head and replied, "Aunt Valeria told me that Avery colluded with other doctors and killed my mother.Why is she alive while my mother is dead? She will pay for every pain she has put me through. I don't have a mother today because of her."Chase was so shocked and said, "Sage, stop spouting nonsense. When your mother passed away, Avery was fifteen years old. Let me tell you the truth about your mother's death.Your grandmother wanted Valeria to marry your father, then she gave your mother medication which accelerated her death. It also causes you to have a brain tumour.The person you are supposed to hate is your maternal grandmother, not Avery. What happened to my sweet Sage? Why did you listen to the Moore family's lies? Don't you have brains?"Sage looked at Chase and replied, "You are lying to me. I don't want you as my doctor anymore. Let me tell you something, my paternal grandmother will never allow me to stay at the Moore mansion.Mark my word she will fetch me
Mr Moore felt humiliated and embarrassed by Dr Forbes' words. He went to the cashier to settle the medical bills. Two nurses wheeled Sage to the ward immediately afterward.Mr Moore went to his daughter's ward and said, "Our granddaughter has been admitted to the hospital; she has a fever." He then told his wife Sage's ward number and said, "Please go and keep our granddaughter company."Mrs Moore looked at her husband puzzled, and asked, "Why didn't you move her to the Taylor family's private ward?" Her husband became upset and replied, "You have no shame, Valery. Didn't the Taylor family sever ties with Sage?"Mrs Moore was fuming with anger, then she took her phone. She dialed Mrs Taylor's number and said, "Hello, Caroline. Sage has been admitted to the hospital because of a fever.Please move her to the Taylor family's private ward." She didn't give her time to respond. She immediately hung up the phone.When Xavier and his wife walked into the living room, they found their mother
A few minutes later, Valeria was wheeled to the private ward. Mr Moore looked at his wife and asked, "Valery, where did you get the money from? Do we have secrets between us?"Valery decided to lie and replied, "Valencia used to give me a monthly allowance when she was still alive. I hid this money for a rainy day." Her husband looked at her for a long time, but he decided not to pursue the matter.When Valeria woke up, she was surprised to see her parents sleeping beside her bed. She screamed when she saw that her legs and her arm were in a cast. Her parents woke up, and her mother asked, "How are you feeling, Sweetheart?"The nurse rushed to Valeria's private ward when she heard the scream. Valeria looked at her mother and asked, "How did I arrive here?" The nurse looked at her and replied, "The paramedics brought you here."Her mother asked, "We were told that you were involved in a car accident. Were you drunk?" Valeria shook her head and replied, "I wasn't drunk, Mom. After I rece
Valeria was so angry that she took her handbag and ran to the parking lot. Unbeknownst to her, Portia was waiting for her. She was sitting in the car playing games on her phone.As soon as she saw Valeria get in her car, Portia asked her brother to follow Valeria's car. Valeria didn't notice the car that was following her. Her heart was in a mess, and she was absent-minded.When they passed the area where there were no streetlights, Wayne overtook Valencia's car, then he stopped his car in front of her car. Valeria tried to swerve her car, but it was too late. She bumped into Wayne's car.Valeria was so scared that she sat in the car until someone knocked on her car's window. She lowered her car window and said, "I am so sorry. It wasn't my intention to bump into your car."Portia looked at her and said, "Get out of your car." Valeria took her phone from her handbag and tried to call her parents, but Portia grabbed her phone and said, "Are you deaf? I said get out of the car."Valeria'
When Sage saw that she couldn't move her father's heart, she looked at her Grandpa with pleading eyes and said, "I was wrong, Grandpa. Please forgive me. I want to change my last name to Taylor."Mrs Moore nodded her head and said, "I agree with your granddaughter, Mr Taylor. Please change her last name to Taylor. I made it clear to Caroline that I would never acknowledge Sage as my granddaughter. Therefore, you cannot force us to raise her."Mr Taylor was so disappointed in the Moore family and said, "It's impossible for Sage to change her last name to Taylor because it was her mother's wish for her to be raised as the Moore family child.Also, I don't believe that your daughter visited my son at work without your encouragement, Mrs Moore. Who told you that my son, Xavier, was born to marry your daughters?Are your daughters worthy of my son? I will never forgive your daughter for disrupting peace in my family. Who gave your daughter the confidence to bully the Taylor family? Are we e
The Moore couple's faces changed when they saw their daughter in the footage. They were more shocked when they saw their daughter ruthlessly slapping her niece. They didn't know that Valeria was so cruel.Mr Taylor senior looked at the Moore couple and asked, "Is this woman your daughter or not?"Mr Moore was so ashamed. He nodded his head and replied, "This is our daughter, Valeria. We were not aware that she had visited her niece. We apologize on her behalf for hurting my granddaughter."Mr Taylor senior sneered, "Where were you for the past five years? Did the Taylor family stop you from visiting your granddaughter?"Mr Moore was so ashamed and replied, "No. We decided to stay out of Sage's life because her mother lied to us."Mr Taylor senior looked at Mrs Moore and said, "You denied receiving a call from your daughter. However, in the footage, your daughter was talking with someone on the phone, and she called her 'Mom', weren't you?"Mrs Moore shook her head and replied, "I don't
Mrs Taylor wiped her tears, then she took her phone and called Mrs Moore. When it was connected; she said, "Valery, your daughter has assaulted my granddaughter.Please come to the Taylor mansion urgently. Should you fail to come; I will press assault charges against Valeria." She was so angry she didn't give Mrs Moore time to respond. Then she hung up.Mrs Moore was so scared of the Taylor family's wrath against her beloved daughter. Her son-in-law was ruthless. He put the Moore Group on its knees. She asked her husband to accompany her to the Taylor mansion.On their way to the Taylor residence, she called her daughter, Valeria, several times but the calls went straight to voicemail.At the Taylor mansion, Avery went to their bedroom and came back with the ointment. She gave it to her husband and said, "Honey, please apply this ointment to her face. It will help with the swelling."Xavier took the ointment and thanked his wife. Then she took Sage's medicine for pain and gave it to he
Xavier and the others were shocked when they heard Sage scream. He ran to her daughter's room. On the way, he made a silent prayer. He was praying for his beloved wife to be safe from his evil daughter.He walked to his wife and took her in his arms and asked, "What happened, my stunning wife?" Then he checked her from head to toe to see if she was injured. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she wasn't hurt.Sage nearly fainted with anger when she saw her beloved father ignoring her and hugging the evil woman. Avery looked at her husband with tears in her eyes and replied, "Sage is framing me. I didn't touch her."At that moment, Grandpa Taylor, her father-in-law, and her mother-in-law entered the room. They looked at Sage's swelling face, then Grandpa Taylor asked, "What happened, my granddaughter in love?"Avery looked at her grandfather-in-law and replied, "Grandpa, Sage is accusing me of killing her mother. Also, someone beat her up, but she is framing me.She said she
