Thomas was spot on with his speculation. Silas refused to budge on his stance regarding declaring themselves as bankrupt. Michael threw one tantrum after the other but was ignored and finally succumbed under Silas’s threat that they would break off with him and claim that they had paid off their part of the debt.Although Carmilla was originally on her son’s side as she thought about how they were giving away money for free to that bitch’s children. However, she changed her mind as Silas informed her that Michael wanted to pass the property to his mistress and convinced her that they wouldn’t benefit regardless of the rosy picture Michael was portraying.He also didn’t forget to warn his grandmother that this would also mean that they could never rise again as there would be restrictions placed on them by the chamber of trade and commerce.Carmilla wasn’t your average brainless woman, one had to give her half the credit for the success of Rufus’s plan. She had her own plans when she de
“He has a company?” Michael started rolling in his eyes “Where did he get the money for starting the company? Isn’t it all from the family? Go to his company and tell them to advance the remaining money.” He ordered without a conscience “Tell them that I have ordered him to do it.”Silas’s lips curled in ridicule as he saw the uncanny resemblance between what his father was ordering him to do and what his grandfather did a few days ago.“Che!” Silas sneered impolitely “He started his company with his own money. Didn’t you hear him a few days ago? He had never used a single penny that came from your coffers. Also, his men told me that they don’t have access to finances. Carson handles finances by himself. So, you can say goodbye to your wishful thinking about getting even a single dime from him.”Silas stood up to leave, he paused, his lips lifting in an evil arc “The auditors have submitted the results of their evaluation, and the court has issued a verdict, sentencing us to pay back 4
Bridgette woke up in a few hours just like Lai-Li had told them. Adam fed her the medicine before helping her rest while he sat by her bedside watching her. Every half hour, he fed her the medicine whether she was awake or asleep for the next six hours.The Walters were all in high spirits as they woke up the next day. Master and Lai-Li had left during the night once they recovered their vitality and after giving Bridgette a clean bill of health.The next steps were a no brainer to anyone who had been following this family saga. The Walters arrived majestically at their ancestral home with Everett and Bridgette in the lead.The butler, Saul shivered as he saw Harvey Walter walking up the stairs of the entrance to the family home. He rubbed his eyes and looked over once again; It couldn’t be Harvy Walter as he was one of the people who put him to rest at his final resting place. It took him a while to regain his senses as he realized that the man who had just reached in front of him was
Chris looked at Rufus with a ridiculing smile “Senior Mr Walter, have you forgotten an age-old wise man’s words?”“What Senior Mr Walter? I am your grandfather… nothing can change that.” Rufus slammed the table trying to show off his might. However, it was still a weak attempt and looked rather comical to everyone present.“You have long stopped being my grandfather. I make the decisions in my life, whether it is family or friends. The only person I have given the right to influence my decisions is my wife.” Chris pulled his lips lopsidedly “The day you decided to plot against me for an outsider, you ceased to exist for me. The only reason I let you be, was because of my father. I respected his feelings.”“But that grace had also long been extinguished.” Chris narrowed his eyes “The day I found my maternal uncle and learned about the past, whatever grace was granted for the sole reason of you being my father’s father, ceased to exist.”“Don’t think even for a minute that I didn’t pay y
“Who said I was a gentleman?” Chris arched his eyebrows arrogantly before adding “But I don’t think I kicked a woman…. More like a rat that likes to occupy other people’s homes.”“Madam, please spare me.” Robert shivered in fear as he realized that his young master and mistress had not let go of what happened all those years ago. He didn’t want to spend the rest of his old age in prison.“Madam, I was forced… how can I disobey the orders of the masters? I am a small fry after all.” Robert cried out pitifully, but he didn’t get any sympathy from anyone in the room.“Also, notifying my dear ex-husband that the samples of my blood from when I was in a coma have been collected and stored appropriately by my brother.” Bridgette’s voice was light, as though she was speaking about the climate outside “The only reason he didn’t act on it was because I wanted to be in full control of my faculties when the perpetuator was given his due.”“No one was allowed to bring you to justice, because that
Bridgette continued with her story, garnering strength from the pride and admiration she saw in the eyes of her son and grandchildren “The excruciating pain, you put me through, every time I did something against my will is the only memory I have of the loved up, cozy time you speak of, because every display of affection you executed to perfection was against my will and the pain caused to bend one’s will against his own is similar to carving out a piece of your own flesh.”Bridgette straightened her spine, not wanting to show her weakness in front of anyone, especially not in front of the man whom she wanted to send into the depth of hell “Watching my father bend against his best judgement, over and over again for mine and my son’s sake put me through hell time and time again, with the last straw being when you forced him to take poison in my stead.”“The latest imprint in my memory of the sweet period you spoke off, also has the time you forced me to accept this woman to be in charge
“Master Walter…” Robert called out weakly, bowing towards Everett in a feeble attempt to make a plea thinking that he would be the main decision maker and probably the person who wasn’t fully aware of the extent of his crime. He had gathered from the conversation in the room that Bridgette and Everett didn’t have much time to compare notes.“No point in looking at me.” Everett shrugged with a heartless smile “Elder sister has always been in charge of the family and family matters. I am just a spoilt, idle master.”Caleb’s eyes misted as he thought of the past; if these demons hadn’t interfered, Everett should have been a spoilt brat, idling in the shade of his sister’s glory. He excused himself shortly after to respond to the doorbell that had just sounded.“You made your bed the day you betrayed your master, you are no longer worthy of my forgiveness.” Bridgette refused to give him a good look as she turned her gaze towards Chris “Didn’t you say that you wanted to have fun…. Hurry up
Rufus looked at the disappointed expression on Silas’s face and his slouched shoulders and knew that he was thoroughly disappointed with them; he knew that they had lost their trump card. He knew that it was pointless to count on his useless son, who was not only useless but also selfish to the core.Rufus knew that he didn’t have any more dices up his sleeve. Although he had been pretending to be an old man who lost his soul, in secret, he had been trying to contact his old friend, his benefactor from all those years ago. No matter how or which number he tried, they all came back with the same answer, silence. At this point in life, as things stood now, there was no one other than this son that he could rely on.Rufus turned back to face Bridgette and Everett with a defeated expression before turning his gaze towards Adam “Son, father will leave the house clean considering none of you believe in my innocence….” He paused as his sorrowful gaze rested on Adam “But can you help father pa
