Charles Walker's Undeniable Throne

Chapter 02

Olivia who was watching from the side how Charles was dying in pains and insults from Jack could no longer bear it.

She hurried forward and said, “Grandma, Charles has not been thinking straight ever since he learnt of Mr Rambo's condition, please forgive him and tell Jack to stop hitting him.” She then pulled her husband away agitatedly.

The crowd was more startled at the appearance of Olivia Marcus and her reaction, the famous goddess of beauty in Wales City.

They watched her with wrapped attention as she pleaded with lady Marcus to forgive Charles.

“Was she actually pleading on his behalf? This is so unbelievable!” one of the guests chipped in.

“What was she still doing with that trash? Wasn't she the prettiest girl in Wales?!” another guests asked the person who was sitting next to him.

“She is.”

“Why would she be married to such a loser even with her beauty.” He muttered with a high breath that evident worriedness.

The once lively hall has become comoted with anger and rage from the Marcus family members thanks to their useless live-in son-in-law. To calm everyone down and return things to normal, the master of ceremony announced following the order of Mr Arthur Grand.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the groom's parents have got something to tell us, kindly resume your seats and listen.”

“I'm gifting three hundred million dollars to our newly wedded couple and one hundred and fifty million dollars to lady Marcus for allowing her granddaughter to marry into our Grands”, said Mr Grand.

Grand statement quickly returned the ambience of happiness in the hall as everyone was shouting “wow! wow! wow!”

This is what it looks like to marry into a wealthy family and to have a grandson-in-law not this piece of trash that's just here to ruin our mode. Someone in the room quipped Luca Arthur.

Charles clinched his fists as the entire hall was humiliating and ridiculing him. If it wasn't for the sake of urgency, he would have left this annoying place at once. Swallowing all the humiliating words and enduring its pains, he said again, “Grandma, please help me save Mr Rambo's life.”

Ordinarily, he wouldn't have dared speak again but Mr Grand's statement made him do as he felt that at least one of those guests will help out. “Mr Rambo saved my life from a fire that wanted to kill me and it will be very ungrateful of me if I don't pay him back now he needs my care most.”

His mother's words kept running through his mind “Son, always be grateful to the little help received from someone and do ensure you pay back when they're in need or problem.”

Suppressing the fury of humiliation that was alreading building within him slowly, he said to lady Marcus, “Grandma, whoever saves one's life saved the world entirely, please, I beg for your mercy.”

A female voice full of rage snorted loudly, “Mr Walker stop force-feeding Grandma. If you want to save someone, you can find a way on your own. Who are you to ask for money from Grandma? You didn't even prepare any gift for me but you had the gut to spoil my wedding. Huh!”

It was Jack's Sister, Lily Marcus who was the bride.

The sinister brother and sister had always prejudiced against Olivia, who was their superior in everything. Though they were her younger ones, and because she was their Grandpa's most favorite and the famous goddess of beauty in Wales city. Their Grandpa had always treated her specially with gifts and promotions when he was alive and head of their family. Hence, they would always attack Charles at any chance they could seize.

Olivia, who knew how Charles needed the money, slightly said to Lady Marcus with an awkward facial expression, “Grandma, Charles lived in the welfare home for ten years and it was Mr Rambo that saved him all those years taking him as a brother after his mother died. He is sincerely grateful for his graciousness and that's why he wants to repay him back with the favor so gravely. Could you please help him …”

Lady Marcus growled with a resentful face, “you want me to help him? Okay, divorce him right now and marry Don Albert! If you can do so, I will give him one million dollars outrightly!”

Don Albert had come for that wedding only because he had been seeking for Olivia to give him a face but even with all his wealth and fame as the Manager of Shell PLC, London, she had always ignored his signals. He wanted to impress lady Marcus with his presence and gift and which was why came all away from London.

He had gifted the couple thirty million dollars and two hundred million dollars to Marcus' family.

He was the type of grandson-in-law that lady Marcus wants to have and keep in her circle so that her family's social circle can extend beyond Wales district. So keeping her gaze on Olivia, she asked. “What about that? Are you considering my terms and conditions!”

Olivia said decidedly, “No, Grandma! I will never divorce Charles.”

“Never!”

A dark gloomy look instantly hovered beneath Lady Marcus’ eyes. She shouted ragefully, “you ungrateful thing! Why do you pride in disgracing this family by staying with that loser? Kick that trash you've chosen as husband out of my house now! He is not needed in this wedding feast! I don't want to see his face!”

Charles was full of consternation and regret. He didn't want to stay there any longer. So he said to Olivia, “dear, I'm going to the hospital now to check on Mr Rambo”.

Olivia replied quickly, “I will go with you then.”

Lady Marcus shouted again, “If you ever step out of this place now, you will cease being my granddaughter! You can take that loser trash husband of yours leave Marcus family forever.”

Rose Andrea, Olivia's mom added, “And I will also disown you as my daughter outrightly!”

Rose Andrea had borne the brunt of disgrace and humiliation caused from the marriage between Charles and Olivia.

Olivia was taken aback by her mom's harsh comment. She least expected such words from her. Why would she join Grandma and others to humiliate her own son-in-law?

Charles interjected, “you stay here and don't worry about me. I will be fine!”

Before Olivia could recollect herself from the shock, he had left the Villa.

Jack laughed hysterically behind him and said, “Hey loser Charles, I know you have nothing to eat as you're leaving. Come have this one dollar so you could buy some snacks to eat before you go out there tarnishing our family's image by begging for food.” He brought out one dollar note from his back pocket and threw it to him.

The thunderous laughter of the people echoed in the hall.

Charles gritted his teeth in annoyance and left immediately without turning back.
