Asher's Legacy.

Chapter Two.

Asher couldn't believe it, but he kept his expression calm. 

"I want to hear from my wife first. Roxanne, do you really want to divorce me?" He asked hid wife who still sat quietly in the corner. 

She raised her head to look at him, and as Asher looked into her eyes, he saw a look of determination set into her face. She stood up and moved to stand before him, then said.

"You know that I love you very much, and I will never do such a thing."

Asher was relieved to hear his wife's words. He took her hand and turned to look at her family members' faces in anger. He then began to say to them, 

"So you are willing to sacrifice your daughter's happiness? All because of money and a few gifts?" 

The Harpers looked at each other and burst into laughter. Roland wiped his eyes and said, "Who are you to question us? I am the head of this home and I will do whatever is best for my family. And currently, that is ensuring we have strong ties to the Larsen family, and you are being a stumbling block for us."

"But Roxanne doesn't want to get a divorce." Asher argued. 

" She will do it, if she wants to retain her job as the COO of Harper Corp. and remain a member of this family." Roland said, making all the blood drain from Asher's face. 

" So you are saying you will fire your daughter from your company and disown her if she doesn't comply with your wishes?" Asher asked in a dangerously low tone. 

"Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. I am giving the both of you three days to sign the papers that will be provided, or I will take drastic actions." Roland threatned. 

Asher felt a wave of anger rise up inside him. Now he understood why his wife was so moody when he walked into the room. As he was deep in thought, Seth Larsen who had been quiet since the whole drama started finally spoke, saying, 

"I suggest you sign the papers as soon as possible, Asher Griffin. In fact, once you sign, I'll give you the sum of one hundred thousand dollars and a job in the Larsen corporation. I don't think you've ever had such an amount of money before, so I hope this will encourage you to make the right decision." Seth finished with a cruel smirk on his face. 

They all began to laugh at Asher again as Seth finished speaking. Only his wife squeezed his hand softly and gave him a small smile. 

Asher took a long, good look at everyone in the room and nodded his head slowly, like he was memorising the moment. He turned to look at his wife and he said to her, "I'll find a way out of this."

They laughed even harder as they heard his words. As Asher was leaving the room, Meredith said loudly, "You better take Seth's offer and try to make something out of your life instead of making stupid promises you can't keep!"

Their laughs accompanied Asher as he left the room. He went out, passing through the party and enduring more mocking laughs from the guests until he left the mansion. 

It was already night, and the population on the streets was very low. Asher strolled down with his hands in his pockets and lost in thoughts. 

He had always been a good son in law to the Harpers. Sure, he was not rich, but he was hardworking and respectful. But they always looked for ways to humiliate and embarrass him both in public and privately. 

He didn't have a problem with them picking on him, as he was used to it, but they had brought his wife into it. That was unacceptable, and he had had enough of them anyway. 

He was going to make them pay. 

He removed his right hand from his pocket, holding a small, black, encrypted phone. He turned on the phone and dialed the first contact on the speed dial. The person picked up the call on the second ring. 

"Finally, Young Master, you have decided to call." A voice said from the other side. 

"The time has come, Old Tian. I'm ready." Asher replied. 

The person he called Old Tian laughed and said, "All right, young Master. I'll send a car to come pick you up now, I've tracked your location."

"Good. Let it be here in five minutes." Asher said and hung up. 

Truly, in five minutes, a sleek blacked out Rolls Royce pulled up in front of Asher. He opened the back door and got in. As he sat down in the car, the driver smiled at him and said, "Welcome, boss."

Asher only nodded in reply. It was time for the world to know who Asher Griffin was.
