Rachel furrowed her brows, still trying to comprehend all she heard. "Wait... This can't be true." She murmured, her vision getting blurred as she tried to remain rooted on the floor with the same confidence she walked in with."You... You must be mistaking something here; I know this man!" She pointed at Dylan."He's a nobody. He's just a regular man with no job! There's no way he can be here.... He's not even worthy of cleaning this room," she said, causing Victor to frown at her words."And her..." Rachel's gaze moved to Sophia, who stood amused by how serious Rachel seemed."She's just his associate... They're partners in crime," she said, trying to convince Micheal, who was still on his knees, waiting for permission to get up.Victor ignored her and turned to Dylan. "I'm really sorry about all of this, Mr. Pierce. I promise I'm going to handle all of this." He said and turned to Micheal, who was terrified to death."Micheal. We do not tolerate mistakes...." Victor paused, causing

"Answer it! Fast! Answer the damn phone!" Rachel yelled, growing more and more impatient with each passing second."Hold on, Rachel, you don't know why they're calling. I'd advise we wait it out and give them a call later." Karen suggested, but almost all she said sounded like trash to Rachel. The only thing that made sense was the name "Settling!""What nonsense are you talking about? I know what I'm saying, and if I'm right, they must have found that they've made a mistake, and they're calling me right now. Missing them means missing this opportunity." She said, dragging the phone from Karen since she didn't want to answer the phone."Listen to me, Rachel. I'm your lawyer, and I know how most of these things go. This is literally the heat of the matter; believe me, if you answer this call, they might make decisions that would ruin your company forever." She paused, noticing that the call had ended."They might get upset if you start demanding why the contract was cancelled, and tr

Amongst the people that waited outside for Dylan's arrival was his nephew, Thomas, the one who runs the house whenever Victor is absent."Dylan, meet the members of the sterling family standing by the right while the staffs working in the house are standing by the left." He paused."These are not the full staffs but once you get inside, you'll meet the rest of them. I didn't want here to be too crowdy," he added, causing Dylan to respond with a nod."This is Thomas Sterling, your nephew. I'm certain that you barely know anything about him because...""Hello," Dylan cut in and shook Thomas's hands. "Hello.... I've heard so much...""About me?" Dylan cut in, arching his brows. Although Dylan didn't concern himself with the company too much, letting them partially do things as they like, he still kept tabs and records on everything that was going on."There'll be no need for introductions Victor, as time goes on, I'll become familiar with everyone. I need us to go inside and help my dau

"I'm listening." Dylan said, patiently waiting for him to speak.Thomas stood upright as if mustering all the strength he had in him before he finally said, "Never mind."Dylan arched his brows, staring at him for longer than a second before he finally straightened his suit and said, "Alright. Let's go then."Dylan got into the Lincoln, and it drove straight towards the venue. On getting to the venue, Dylan got down from the car and walked alongside Sophia and Victor while Michael and Thomas stood behind them."There's something I want to inform you of," Victor whispered, causing Dylan to arch his brows, wondering if whatever Victor wanted to say couldn't wait.Before Dylan could even respond, he was distracted by a flashlight flashing over his face as the reporters stopped to take photos of his entrance."Who are you? Is it true that you were married to Ms. Bennett and now you've left her because of Sophia?" They asked, causing Dylan to narrow his eyes. This was one of the reasons wh

A soft chuckle escaped Dylan's lips; he couldn't help but think how delusional she was. "Did you come here to seek attention from the Sterling family and other important families here, or did you come here to honor the invitation that the Sterling family sent to you?" Dylan asked, sternly, waiting for her to respond.Rachel turned to Tyler and then back to Dylan before saying, "Of course, I came here to honor the Sterling family invitation. I'm one of their important guests, although I know they must have made a mistake by revoking my contract with them.""In one way or another, I think they're going to see that they've made a mistake." Dylan wasn't surprised to see how delusional Rachel was.He turned to Micheal, who kept a straight face. Micheal was ready to act, but all he cared for was the media as well because he knew how pressing the media was when it came to a valuable topic, and anything concerning the Sterling family was considered valuable.Dylan turned to Sophia and asked,
