Maxwell scoffed loudly and turned his gaze back to his ex-wife. After a moment of silence, he said to her in a disgusting tone. “And you, we had something good going on between us but you let your parents deceive you." “If you didn't listen to them, we would have still been together and there won't be any need for this court case." “Well, except for the court case between your parents and I because I needed to reclaim my father's legacy which they stole." “You are a damn cheat and rapist. How do you expect me to believe someone like you who was not content with his wife. You had to go and cheat on me with another woman and even went as far as raping her.” Valerie retorted angrily, her face burning with so much rage.Maxwell looked at her for a while and laughed before replying. "You're still in the dark. Go ahead and ask your parents what truly happened.”"You should have known by now that your parents framed me.”Valerie had already found out about that part of the story. She only

Maxwell's face paled when he heard the words from Gratel. He stood frozen at a spot and could not get himself to move or even utter a word.All he did was gape at the young lady before him.Angel was missing, how?“I don't believe you." Maxwell suddenly replied, shaking his head vigorously.He doesn't know the strange girl standing before him and there's no way he'd believe a word from her.She's a total stranger who claimed to be Angel's friend. What if she's lying or probably up to something.“What do you hope to achieve by doing this? And why are you telling me about it, that's if it's true.”"I've been trying to reach her but she hasn't been reachable since the previous day.”"Then wait for her to reach you. She's an adult and not a child who can suddenly go missing.” Maxwell suddenly snapped at her. He kept a straight face and closed in on the young lady, standing before her face.He tilted himself and whispered to her. “Leave this place now before I call security on you. Your pl

Victor stood up and began to pace around the sitting room.“How dare he lay a finger on my daughter? And he did not even consider your condition." He was totally mad but helpless at the same time.After pacing for sometime, he sighed deeply and started towards the door. “I'm going over there to deal with that bastard for beating up my daughter.”Victor had resolved to fight with Maurice if he had to.Maurice does not have the right to beat up his daughter no matter what.“Don't go there, please. I don't want you to get into any more trouble because of Maurice.” Patricia swiftly ran and blocked his path.She believed that confronting Maurice and starting a fight with him would not solve the problem.“You're not going there to start a fight with your son-in-law. I won't allow that. There's a better way to resolve such an issue of domestic violence." "Moreover, we're yet to deal with the issue with Maxwell. If we're able to take over everything he has, then we'll have all the power and

“Just because you witnessed the unfortunate scene last night does not mean that my husband and I have problems." “I'm sure you know that couples do have misunderstandings sometimes so don't ever go out and run your mouth." Valerie continued to scold her like she's done something bad.Barbara quietly nodded her head and was about to leave but Valerie called her back.“Where do you think you're going?" Before Barbara would respond, Valerie snapped at her. “Go and get my breakfast now and stop acting like a robot." “Yes, Ma'am." The maid sighed inwardly before running off again. She was earlier going to get breakfast for the rude and arrogant lady.While Barbara walked to the kitchen, she turned briefly to glance at Valerie who shot her a cold glare.“And what are you looking at?" She angrily blurted out but Barbara said nothing and continued towards her destination.Minutes later, she was back with Valerie's breakfast.Since Valerie left home very early, she was yet to have breakfast

Maurice, who was now sober, joined them in the Van. While they administered first aid to Valerie, the Van drove off immediately.Michael and Gina Carter followed behind with their car.While in the car, Gina put a call across to Victor Morgan.The Morgans and the Carters were in-laws but not really close. Although they used to be close when the Morgans were still flaunting Maxwell's wealth.However, after the Morgans' true identity were revealed, the Carters distanced themselves. The only relationship that they have was that they were in-laws.They no longer dined together like before or attended events together.In fact, the Carters were ashamed to call them their inlaws. If not that Maurice loves Valerie so much, they'd have asked him to divorce her.However, Maurice was a man of his words and would not be told what to do by his parents.The phone went through and Victor answered almost immediately.“Hello, Mrs Carter. I hope all is well because you rarely call me since my last cour
