Grandma Sandra, Adolphus, and his mother did not see her around. Vicki, as well, was nowhere near the sitting room when their guests arrived.“Tell Vicki to come down for dinner." Ursula gave the instructions to one of the maids who bowed slightly and started towards the stairs."I'm here, no need to come and call me.” A voice interrupted, and all their gazes fell on a teenage girl descending the stairs.Adolphus's eyes didn't leave Vicki's body as he stared intently at her. The resemblance was there.Vicki has those blue eyes that were passed down to them by their father. As for his golden brown hair color, Vicki's was blonde. She had obviously dyed it to stay in trends with her friends.Vicki was just sixteen with the height and body of a model. Adolphus was only slightly taller than her.And as she descended the stairs, the look on her face was not pleasant. Her sharp eyes scanned the place, falling on Doris and then fixated on Adolphus.When their eyes met, she curled her lips i

Ursula rolled her eyes and made a long hiss. She stood up from her seat and began to walk away.Her daughter, Vicki, joined her, and that was the end of the family dinner.Grandma Sandra had already lost her appetite, thanks to Ursula's inconsiderate words.She stood from her seat and signaled the maids to clear the table before walking up to Nicolas.Nicolas was walking aimlessly in the sitting room. He was so enraged at the turnout of the event.Obviously, Ursula never intended to genuinely apologize for the trouble she caused Adolphus and his mother.Days ago, when Ursula suggested that they have dinner together and invite Adolphus and his mother, Nicolas did not buy the idea.Ursula had promised to be on her best behavior and apologize to them for what happened. Nicolas had doubts, but he decided to believe her words. Unfortunately, his wife never meant to keep her promises.“Just calm down and have some rest. I'm sure that things will change in time." Grandma Sandra spoke, pattin

From the other end of the line, Doris Stevenson recognized the voice and retorted immediately.“What the heck are you talking about, Brett Graham? And why are you calling me bad luck?" "I no longer work for you, so don't call my number and spew rubbish again.”“What makes you think that I had an intention of calling an ungrateful loser like you. After all we did for you, your son had the nerve to hit my precious Pius.”"It's a good thing that I fired you. And about this call, forget because it's definitely a wrong number. There's no way someone like you is the new landlord of this estate.”Angrily, Brett ended the call and turned to her husband, her twisted with rage.She shook her head vigorously and scoffed."I thought you're supposed to call the landlord? Why did you end up calling that woman?" Benson inquired, but Brett chuckled dryly and replied. “I dialed the exact number sent to you. Maybe Mr. Hudson made a mistake.”"There's no way Doris Stevenson is the new owner of the whol

"It's just food, so I wouldn't be spending all I earn on it. Moreover, it's not such a big deal to treat my friends who have always been there for me.”“Well, if you insist. I won't refuse a free meal.” Donald replied, glancing at the others’ faces who seemed to be in agreement with him.They got their dinner, and in no time, they were all done. But then, Donald made a gesture to his friend who stood up.Their girlfriends also joined them, thanking Adolphus for the food.“I guess we'll see you later. Glover, and I would be seeing the girls off." Donald spoke, leading the way.Before Adolphus would retort, they were already on their way out of the place, leaving him alone with Abigail.They had intentionally done that to give Abigail and Adolphus a private moment to talk.More than anything, they wanted a relationship to blossom between Adolphus and Abigail.When he was running after Svetlana, they had kicked against a relationship with her, but Adolphus didn't listen until he saw her

The school auditorium had been set up for the fundraising event, which would commence in less than one hour. Flowers and ribbons placed and tied neatly and at every corner with precision. The hall was filled with seats and fluorescent lights that illuminated across, reaching every angle.As usual, many students were already seated, waiting for the event to commence. The fundraising event, although a noble course, did not get a noble procedure as everyone participating was just trying to show off.All the people who have made contributions in the past do not really care about the people whom those funds would be helping. All they cared about was to be respected the most.It was like a competition, and as expected, Richmond always tops the ladder. It was probably the reason he became school president despite his condescending attitude.In the past, Adolphus had never gone near the auditorium on a day like that. But this time, he was the person hurrying his friends.He had spent the wh
