Anita stared blankly at Ethan, his words passing over her head. There was nothing she hated more than pompous spoilt brats who think the world revolves around them. She simply ignored him as though he didn’t say anything. This infuriated Ethan, and his eyes narrowed at her. “I see you’re still being stubborn, huh? Don’t come begging when it’s too late, because then I won’t be as considerate.” Regina, getting fed up with Anita’s insistent stubbornness stomped up to her and grabbed her arm, her fingernails slightly digging into her skin. “Anita, what’s wrong with you? Why are you making things so difficult for us? Just apologize, and agree to their demands so we can get our house back!” Anita winced and looked at her mother, her expression contorting into one of pain. “Mom, stop hurting me because of these people for crying out loud!” She snapped, yanking her hand forcefully from Regina’s grip. Regina’s eyes narrowed and she turned to glare at Adrian. She was about to lash out

Harold responded with a text immediately. “Yes, young master. I’ll do that right away.” Adrian was about to keep his phone back in his pocket when he remembered that he also had to get his mother a house, so he typed in another text message to Harold. “Arrange a smaller villa for my mom as well. Ensure it is in very close proximity to mine.” After sending the text, he kept his phone back in his pocket and raised his head to face Anita. “I just texted a good friend of mine,” he began, smoothly coming up with a believable story that wouldn’t leave her skeptical, “who is a real estate agent and explained our current situation to him. He has agreed to let us stay in one of the houses he is managing for a client who lives abroad but needs someone to live in the house and take care of it.” The worry lines on Anita’s forehead eased and a surprised yet relieved expression settled on her face. “Really? That’s great! I was so scared we would be left stranded on the streets.” Regina, w

The next day, Anita was organizing some folders on her laptop when she received an email from Rhea informing her that the proposal she sent the previous day had been approved, and that she should come to the Alpha group for further discussion and signing of the contract. Anita squealed in delight as she read Rhea’s email, feeling extremely ecstatic that her proposal met Alpha group’s standards even though she had only sent a draft. Adrian was still sleeping when he overheard Anita’s squeal of delight and he sat up on the bed, his vision still slightly hazy as his brow cocked at her. “Care to share what has got you so excited this morning?” Anita’s cheeks tinged red as she turned the laptop towards Adrian to show him the email from Rhea. “I just got this mail saying my proposal for the Alpha group contract has been approved.” The corner of Adrian’s lips tugged as he read the contents of the mail, and he was pleased to see that Rhea was acting efficiently. He glanced up at Anit

Ophelia’s voice was filled with exaggerated anger as she reported the situation to her husband, Theodore. “Theodore, I want you to do something about Harold Welsh! He refused to obey my orders to throw some lowlifes that disrespected our family out. He even dared threaten to take action against me!”“Harold Welsh dares to do that?!” Theodore replied in a sharp tone. “I just landed in Wibston. I’ll be at the estate in five minutes. He’ll get to know how ruthless I can be!”Ophelia’s expression morphed into malicious smugness as she stared at Adrian and Harold. “Yes, they need to know not to mess with us Blackwells,” she repeated her husband’s words in a voice she believed was intimidating.The call disconnected a few seconds later, and Ophelia’s lips twitched as her expression became haughty. “My husband’s on his way. Prepare to be sorry.”Anita fiddled with her fingers, her brows knitting at Ophelia’s words. Could they really handle the anger of Theodore Blackwell?Should they just a

Adrian pulled over in the very spacious parking lot of the Alpha group a few minutes later, and he and Anita stepped out of the car.Anita’s eyes widened as she took in the skyscraper which towered above the city’s skyline. The glass windows that gleamed under the reflection of the sunlight also added to the sophisticated appeal of the building. Even Adrian couldn’t help but admire the beautiful structure. The imposing structure just solidified the fact that it was indeed the largest building in the whole of Wibston.Anita started to grow nervous the more she looked at the building as she was reminded of how formidable and unattainable the Alpha group was. She simply hoped that her interview with the company would be successful enough for her to bag a contract.“Here you go,” Adrian’s voice brought her out of her thoughts, and she turned to see him extending her car keys towards her.She collected it from him with a smile and he added, “If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call m
