“What have you done?”Mr Clark was so angry that he wanted to beat his younger daughter black and blue till she couldn’t be recognized and had the strength to get out of the house to cause trouble for him.“Dad, why are you shouting at me immediately after I walk in?” Kaylee was displeased with the tone her father had used on her. Also, she wished that he would have at least waited for her to get seated before questioning her.She felt so wronged that tears threatened to come out of her eyes and she pouted while staring at her father.Seeing the eyes in her daughter’s eyes, Mrs Clark glanced at her husband with a disapproving look which was ignored by the man.Mrs Clark was so angry but she knew that if she said anything wrong, the two would blame her as always.“Don’t sympathize with her just because you can see tears in her eyes. You have spoilt this girl so much that even when she does anything wrong, she just sees as if we are wronging her,” Mr Adam said coldly as he glanced at h
“How can you blame everything on Rhiannon even when she isn’t staying with us anymore? Don’t you have even the slightest shame?” Mr Clark was so angry at his youngest daughter that he felt anything she said was rubbish and looking for excuses.“Dad, how can you say that to me? Is Rhiannon your only daughter cause you have been siding with her every time? Or you are now at her side 'cause she owns the company?” Kaylee said as she cried causing Mr Clark so angry.“You! You are so lucky that you are so far from me cause I would have beaten you up. Also, I appreciate the fact that you know that I have always sided with you. I always believed everything you said without giving Rhiannon a chance to defend herself or ask her what had happened but after what has happened today, I highly doubt whether everything you used to say was true or lies,” Mr Clark told her.Kaylee panicked a little bit. She had indeed done a lot of bad things but claimed that Rhiannon was the culprit behind the latter
Rhiannon had a smile on her face since they got out of the restaurant.Not because she was told that the restaurant was hers but because the dishes there were so delicious. If she were asked, she would always go there to eat.“You have been smiling for a long time. Aren’t you tired of it?” Octavius asked as he glanced at her.Most times, Rhiannon always had a cold expression thus Octavius thought she was just like him. None expressionless person but today, she had proved her wrong.“Tired of smiling? Why should I get tired of it and it isn’t like I am doing any work?” Rhiannon asked in a confused tone.“I rarely smile. Therefore, every time I did that, I would think that I would get tired if I smiled for more than a second or minute,” he explained when he saw her confusion.Rhiannon glanced at him and shook her head as she didn’t know what to say or whether to ask why he rarely smiled.“I have always been a jovial person. I love smiling and laughing, mostly when I am with my family an
Rhiannon became worried when she heard Octavius' words and at the same time wondered how his family knew when they weren’t in the capital. Seeing the worried look on her face, Octavius felt troubled but knew that he had to do what he did today to let her have a foothold in the capital. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine,” he said causing Rhiannon to hum in response. She laid back in her seat and looked outside. She had initially thought that getting married to Octavius wouldn’t be a problem as she had money and also, she mainly did it to fulfill her promise. But now, she wondered what kind of trouble had she gotten herself in. She realized that she couldn’t lazy around anymore and had to bring the company to higher levels before she set to the capital. She turned her gaze out of the car and watched the scene as they drove past the city. She remembered about her nanny and glanced at Octavius who upon feeling her gaze turned to her. “What is it?” he asked. “Uhm, it’s about my
Rhiannon remained silent as she fell in deep thoughts.“Yes, she was never the Clark’s employee in the first place. Although she never left and my mother was gone and there wasn’t anyone to pay her, mom had left some amount in her account as payment for her being my nanny even when she was gone. Since they don’t pay her, I don’t think they have any right to prevent her from leaving the house and if they do, we can meet in court,” Rhiannon said the last words coldly.Octavius nodded his head but anyone who took a closer look at him would see a faint smile on his face.“Okay. You can call her and give her our home address,” he said.Rhiannon nodded her head and at the same time shook it.“No. I think we should go for her. There are a lot of things that I left behind and I think that I should go for them cause if I don’t, Kaylee would get her hands on them,” Rhiannon said causing Octavius to glance at her.“From the way you are behaving, they seem as if they are so important,” he said wi
“Rhiannon, are you telling me the truth?” her father asked in surprise.“Yes,” Rhiannon responded as she felt there was no need to tell him many things.She was also afraid that if she told them what she was going there to do, they would hide her mother’s belongings and she didn’t want that.“Okay, Dad will instruct the servants to prepare your favorite meals for you so that you can eat when you return,” Mr Clark said happily.‘Favorite food? You have never spent time with me yet you claim you will tell them to prepare my favorite food?’ she asked herself at the same time she felt disgusted by his words and hung up the call without saying anything.Octavius who had been listening to the conversation and paying attention to her was confused when he saw how cold she had become and wisely didn’t ask any questions as he didn’t want to make her feel worse than that.After driving in silence, they arrived at the estate where the Clarks lived.They parked the car outside and another car stop
Rhiannon shook her head and said. “That’s where you are wrong. You have always been busy at work and didn’t even know what was happening at home. She never brought me up! My nanny is the one who brought me up.”“Rhiannon! We still paid Mary for the work she did,” Mrs Clark said coldly as she thought that the nanny would never complain to Rhiannon that she didn’t get her salary.Mary never complained as she didn’t care about whether she was paid or not. What mattered to her the most was whether Rhiannon was having a good life or not.“Paid her? Do you take me for a fool? She has never received a single penny from you thus you better shut up! My mother left some money for my nanny. The money was her salary for thirty years,” Rhiannon said shocking them.“What? Dad, are you surprised? You have always given your wife money to pay my nanny but she never did. Even the allowance that I was supposed to be given, she took it all and gave it to Kaylee. At that time, I didn’t see the need to comp
“What… what are the police doing here?” Mr Clark asked with a pale face as he glanced at the men in blue then at Rhiannon who rolled her eyes at his cowardice.“Your wife refused to give us my mother-in-law’s jewels and belongings. Of course, there is a need to call the police,” Octavius said coldly causing Clark to glance at him.They were curious about how the man had contacted the police when they didn’t see or hear any call being made.“When you guys weren’t paying attention, I texted one of our bodyguards,” Octavius said when he saw their confused faces and eyes full of curiosity.“We have been informed that there is a case here?” one of the police asked while the other had a pale face when he saw Octavius.“Sir, what are you doing here?” he asked as he glanced at Octavius.Octavius turned and glanced at the man when he realized that the latter was talking to him.“Do I know you?” Octavius asked the police coldly and as he glared at him signaling him to shut up.Seeing the man’s
