Becky had always licked Peace's boots at every chance she had and tried everything in her power to move into the latter's house. However, Peace had used various kinds of reasons to reject her, either by repeating that her house was tiny or that it was inconvenient. Does she want to live in my house? No way! Becky changed her approach when she saw how firm Peace was. In the end, Peace received a call from her own father. "I heard that you have arranged for Becky to work in your company, right?" Peace's father interrogated her when she answered his call. "And you even let her stay in the dorm?" "Yeap, the cleaner's salary is about four to five thousand." Peace replied in a flat tone. "Only the accommodation is provided with a living arrangement of about 8 people to a unit dormitory." Mr. Orji snapped. "Is this how you treat your cousin? Shamayeta gave them a job that comes with accommodation and food with a salary of seven to eight thousand! Learn from Shamayeta, will you?" Her fat
One day, Linux and Hilda came to Peace's unit. Under normal circumstances, Linux would never come over on his own even if he agreed to an interview with them. However, he happened to be having a meeting nearby and decided to drop by on his own. Coincidentally, Hilda had business with Peace and followed along. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a young lady in heavy makeup sweeping the floor in the lobby. When Linux brushed by her, the young lady suddenly passed out for some reason and collapsed next to him. Shocked by the lady's sudden fainting spell, Linux quickly picked her up and prepared to send her to the hospital. The moment Peace heard that Linux and Hilda were here, she hurried out to greet them. However, she was greeted with the sight of Linux carrying Becky. She's up to her tricks again! "Linux, put her down. We'll take care of her." Linux' blue eyes were filled with uncertainty when he heard those words. Looking at the young lady's condition, she seemed to be
From the school to the Orji Family, everybody believed that the spot should have been given to her cousin, even Peace herself believed that. They believed that boys were the hope of the family while girls were not. She was considered extremely blessed in their society that her family could even afford to send her to high school as most girls only studied until junior high school. That was the common mindset among her society and her entire family. People who came from that little society held values and beliefs that were surprisingly consistent. Later, Peace was admitted into a first tier university at Provincial City with excellent scores despite being in the ordinary class. Meanwhile, her cousin that had taken her place in the elite class could only be admitted into an inferior second tier university with his scores. Unfortunately, the tuition fees for a first tier university were too high, and her family could not afford it. Therefore, she had no choice but to reject the offer an
Afterward, Peace decided to see Linux and Hilda on their way. Walking into the lounge with Hilda to look for Linux, she saw her second uncle that had just arrived at Taadi City to work. He was surrounding Linux with Becky and her brother behind him. I can't believe Becky called him over! Byron had a grimace on his face as he leaned close to Linux while saying, "Look, this is my niece. She is 19 years old. Isn't she quite the pretty one? Her family conditions are great too. Why don't you exchange contact numbers or add each other on Messenger? You should chat with each other a little..." Becky pulled up her Messenger on her phone. Then, she blushingly stepped forward to add Linux on Messenger. Linux looked troubled. "Uncle Byron, I'm sorry but I don't really use Messenger." Any discerning person would know with a single glance that Linux was rejecting them. However, Byron did not know what it meant to be reserved and even went so far as to enthusiastically reach out to take Linux'
When Shamayeta heard those words, she became anxious. This is such a trivial matter, how can they immediately raise the issue with the family?! "Uncle Byron, what on earth happened..." Seeing that Peace refused to kneel and admit her mistake, Byron took out his phone and pretended to dial a number. "I'm really going to make the call! Don't think I won't dare to do it!" Peace scoffed. However, her reddened eyes were filled with tears. Then, he dialed the number while berating her in a loud voice. "You rebellious girl! Your parents have wasted their efforts raising you! Just you wait!" He was already displeased with her long before she ruined the Das siblings' 'marriages'. Seeing that his relatives and friends were heading to Taadi City to work, he hurriedly called Peace and told her to arrange a job for him. Contrary to his expectations, she made him attend the interview himself, saying that it depended on his own abilities as to whether he could get the job. Moreover, she made h
Meanwhile, Byron sat with his leg over his knee. "So what? Didn't the daughter of the county magistrate marry a laborer from a construction site back in our hometown? That man could make his woman eat out of the palm of his hand. When she got pregnant, even the county magistrate had to recognize their marriage!" Mr. Orji fervently agreed with Byron as he said, "That's right, that's right! Peace, can't you act a little smarter? Even if your cousin is not as financially sound as the other party, you should create more opportunities for him to shine! Why don't you invite Miss Linux out alone so that your cousin will have more opportunities to woo her? Your cousin is such a smart boy. I'm sure it's easy for him to get her pregnant! We'll see how the Linux Family reacts once she is pregnant. Their unmarried daughter got herself pregnant, who else would want damaged goods like her? If they are still stubborn... Aren't you a reporter? Why don't you just write an article, make it a huge sca
On the other hand, Hilda was no longer angry. Rather, she was worried since Peace seemed unhappy today. She was tempted to call Peace and talk to her, but she was worried about disturbing Peace's rest. While she was agonizing over it, a call from Shamayeta came. Shamayeta was not aware that Hilda and Peace were sisters in law. However, she was certain that Byron had offended Linux and Hilda today. Putting aside the fact that Peace had broken all ties with her family today, she had also been scolded by the head of the newspaper office for upsetting the young master of the Jordan Group. The head of the newspaper office claimed that Linux was somebody their small newspaper office could not afford to offend. Therefore, Shamayeta cautiously apologized to Hilda, seemingly scared that Hilda was still angry about it. "Hilda, I'm sorry about what happened today. It's the first time Uncle Byron came to the city, so he is not familiar with the rules here. Peace has berated them for their be
Turning on her phone, she saw that there were numerous missed calls and text messages as well as messages on Messenger. They were all scolding her in one way or another. Some of the family group chats were also berating her for being inhumane and unfilial, and ruining the Das siblings' 'marriages'. As soon as Peace's phone was turned on again, Mr. Orji's call came through. She was just about to hang up on him when William suddenly took the phone from her and answered the call. Mr. Orji's voice immediately sounded from the other side of the phone, blowing up at her at the top of his voice. "Peace Orji, do you still regard me as your father?! Look at how angry you've made Uncle Byron! Did you think I won't be able to do anything to you since you've settled down in Taadi City?! I'm telling you, I have many ways to deal with you! I'm giving you two days to come home and beg for forgiveness!" Upon hearing that voice, Peace froze for a moment. It felt as if a bucket of ice water came po
