The boss was confused but a thought soon flashed across his head. Consequently, he nodded and then shook his head. “Madam, it is something good, but it’s not worth much. It’s a fake. Why don’t I take this for one hundred thousand dollars?”The boss knew that the bangle would sell for at least 100 million in the market.“What? Only a hundred thousand?”When Martha heard him, she snatched the bangle back and shook her head. “I’m not selling it anymore. My husband told me that it’s worth at least a few hundred thousand. You’re lying to me!”The boss hurriedly explained after hearing her words, “Madam, I came all the way here. There’s no reasoning for me to lie to you. It is indeed a fake and only cost a hundred thousand bucks. If you don’t believe me, you can ask other people. If anyone offers you a higher price, I, Mo Dunbar, will pay you twice the price they offer you!”Having said that, Mo pretended to get up and leave.He was the head of the industry. Therefore, he only needed t
Martha was completely insane!She was overwhelmed with anger!She was livid!The piece of trash had slapped her. If she did not teach him a lesson, how would she maintain her position in the family?After she finished yelling, Martha lifted her hand to smash the bangle against the wall!In the blink of an eye!A roar filled the living room like a raging fire!“Don’t you f*cking dare! You’re asking to die!”Philip’s eyes were red, and he was clenching his fists tightly. Not only had wrinkles began to form at the corner of his eyes due to anger, but the veins on his neck and forehead were now twisted like the image of a dragon!“Ah!”Martha was shocked. She was going to have a heart attack from fear.Nevertheless, before she could understand what was happening, Philip walked up to her with his eyes filled with the flames of wrath. Philip glared at Martha the same way he would at a dead body!Crack!Philip reached out his hand, strangled Martha’s neck, and lifted her off the
Wynn was horrified when she saw what had happened in the house. She ran in and helped Martha up before exclaiming, “Mom, what happened? I’m going to take you to the hospital.”When Martha saw that Wynn had arrived, she was relieved. She started throwing a tantrum as she yelled, “Why should I go to the hospital? Just let me die here! Look who attacked me! It’s Philip!”When Wynn heard that, she turned around and looked at Philip in anger and disbelief. She asked, “Philip, what did you do? She’s my mother!”Philip knew that such a thing was going to happen. As long as Martha was there, things would settle down so easily.He said coldly, “Yes, she’s your mother. However, ask her what immoral things she has done.”“Y-You’re spewing nonsense! What did I do? It was just a stupid bangle! Did you have to go as far as to hit me? You even hit me until I became like this. I am your mother-in-law! You’ll be struck by lightning and thunder! I don’t care! Wynn, you have to divorce him today! If
Half an hour ago, Philip received a call from George who said that there was an emergency.Subsequently, after exiting the hospital, Philip saw George standing in front of its entrance with a cane in his hand next to his Rolls Royce.George was wearing a suit with a hat. Evidently, he looked polite and refined.However, when Philip approached George, he could see that George’s forehead was drenched in sweat, and the latter’s eyes looked frantic.Something was wrong!He had to tell the young master immediately.“What happened, Old Man George? Why are you in such a hurry to find me?” Philip asked as he walked out of the hospital’s entrance.“Young master, I was wrong.”George respectfully bowed and lowered his head. There was a hint of self-blame in his tone of voice.Philip frowned. It was his first time seeing George acting like this. He smiled and asked, “What happened?”George did not dare conceal the matter from him and replied, “Young Master, the young madam and the unbor
All of a sudden!Bang!The door was kicked open violently from outside.Wynn turned around, looked at the door, and saw a figure standing tall at the entrance. It has to be said that the figure’s back was facing the light. The person then barged inside, took Wynn’s bowl, and smashed it on the floor!Smash!The bowl was smashed into pieces.When Martha saw that the bowl had been smashed, she felt anger well up in her chest. She stood up and pointed at Philip before shrieking, “Philip, you rascal, what are you doing? Are you still going to respect your mother-in-law or not?”Slap!Philip’s response to her was a slap in the face.Martha fell to the ground after being slapped and did not get up even after a long while. She began fuming.“Philip, what are you doing?”Wynn was horrified. She had noted expect Philip to barge in, smash the bowl, and slap Martha in front of her.Nevertheless, Philip was furious. He turned around and glared at Martha who was on the floor. Then, he po
The Maybach 42S stopped in front of the old Johnston Manor.Behind it was five black Benzes.It was a motorcade!The sight attracted the attention of many passersby and neighbors around the manor.“Oh, there are so many luxury cars. Which VIP is this?”“Holy moly! Maybach 62S! It’s Theo Zander’s ride! Why is he here?”When the neighbors heard that it was Theo’s car, they backed away in fear and only dared to watch from a distance.He was the Underground King of Riverdale.There was a time when his name was the cause of the normal residents’ nightmares.Who could afford to offend him?Why was a VIP like him there?“Hey, they’re getting out of their vehicles. Who’s that? The young man looks so familiar!”“Look! That’s Theo, and that’s his number one right-hand man, Tiger!”“Who’s that young man? Theo is being so respectful to him.”The crowd watched from a distance as they gossiped among one another.They caused a huge scene, and it was difficult for them not to attract th
Slap! Slap! Slap! The sound of slapping filled the room. Martha’s face had been smacked swollen with patches of her skin blooming in shades of black and blue while blood trickled down the corner of her mouth. All Charles could do was watch from the sidelines. He could scream his lungs out, but there was nothing he could do to stop them. In the end, Tiger came forth with a bottle of medication at the snap of Theo’s fingers. He walked menacingly toward Martha who had long lost her bearings from the slaps. Setting her eyes on the concoction, Martha felt fear creep up within her. Tears streamed down her face while she shook her head as if her life depended on it. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please don’t, Theo. Please don’t make me drink the poison, no, please…” Her begging fell on deaf ears. After clamping a hand over Martha’s throat while others forced her mouth open, Tiger then poured the concoction into her throat. Karma was a b*tch! With her head tilted up as she was force
The atmosphere in the hospital room seemed different. Giada smiled a smile that encompassed the warmth of a spring breeze, one that Philip knew there was more than met the eye. It was a smile that removed herself from the narrative while she mocked and threatened at the same time. Standing from her seat, she walked toward Philip who looked as if his entire world had crashed. She spoke gently, “Take your time as you explain to Wynn, would you? We’ll meet again, very soon.” With that, Giada waved to bid Wynn farewell. “I’ll be leaving first then, Wynn. I’m sure Philip has his reasons to hide from you, so I do hope you’ll keep an open mind and hear him out.” Wynn was about to stand and send her out only to be held back by Philip. With no other choice, she smiled politely. “You can come over next time then, Aunt Giada.” “Oh?” There was a new hint of shock in Giada’s expression at the invitation. Her brows curved into a smile. “Very well then, I’ll visit when I have time. I
