Chapter 76
As Olivia escorted Joshua outside, Evelyn looked at Grandma Aurora, her eyes displaying a bit of annoyance. “Mom, why would you have to ask that of Joshua? We shouldn't be telling strangers about our family affairs.” Grandma Aurora huffed and scorned, looking into her eyes. “Joshua isn't a stranger.” “Then who is here?” Evelyn winked in surprise. Grandma Aurora took a heavy breath. “I believe you are not blind to see how Joshua is getting attracted to Olivia….” She smirked. “This is the right time to act.” Evelyn frowned. “What do you mean? Are you aware James still remains the legal husband of Olivia?” “That's on paper.” Grandma Aurora replied, her voice sharp with contempt. Evelyn stared at her without a word. She couldn't believe how her mother-in-law could be so mean. Grandma Aurora stood up from her seat, standing in front of Evelyn. “The earlier you realise that Joshua will make a better partner with Olivia,” she started, her voice firm, “the better you will start suppor

James looked up at him, and a smirk escaped his lips. “What are hotels for? I mean….what do they do there?” Charles stared at him and scoffed. “And you want me to believe you're going to book a room there to pass the night?”James nodded. “You just said it,” he responded, casually.Charles raised an eyebrow and laughed. “Oh, please, spare me the joke,” he felt like laughing till eternity. “Your sense of humour is as disgusting as you. Not even the receptionist there will look at your face.” “Okay, if you say so,” James replied, returning his attention to his phone. He didn't want to garbage his precious time on this simpleton.Charles’ jaw clenched, realizing James wasn't giving him the attention he wanted. He gritted his teeth and said. “I'm going to the same place. I can't wait to watch you get humiliated.”Amused by that, James glanced at him and chuckled softly, his expression unreadable. He didn't bother to reply to him.He went back to his phone, responding to some of the mess

Olivia nodded, giving a faint smile. “Of course, no,” she said. Hesitantly, she sighed and made her way to the kitchen to get Joshua a glass of water.Meanwhile, James, after leaving the house, stood beside the road, thinking of the next step to take. “Should I call Dad to stay with him, or should I just launch in a hotel instead? Which one would be a better idea?” He mumbled, his heart of thought as his eyes glanced around.Shaking his head, he said, “No, I don't have to disturb Dad about this. He also has some personal issues to face. Launching in a hotel will be better.” Saying that, he looked up and saw a cab approaching faster towards him, and he flagged it down. Sliding in, he took a seat and shut the door.After shutting the door, James leaned back on his seat, relaxing comfortably. “Good evening, sir. Please, where are you heading?” The driver asked, observing James through the rearview mirror.“Luxe Hotel…there,” James replied. The driver blinked, hard to swallow. “Sorry

Grandma Aurora chipped in, scoffing, “Evelyn, stop the defense. Not like he deserves it. This boy is such a dim-wit. Joshua helped Olivia, but he's not grateful to him.” Joshua's lips curled into a smug smile, hearing that. He folded his arms, enjoying the moment of drama. James felt a slight burn on his face. He looked at Olivia. She really slapped him because of Joshua? “Y—you really slapped me because of Joshua, Olivia?” He felt his voice stammering slightly. “And I'll do that again,” Olivia answered. “Joshua is a nobleman, and you should show him some respect!” James tilted his head slightly, his expression unreadable. “Oh, I see,” he exclaimed, “indeed, praising blowing his trumpet. But you seem to have forgotten all the help I have rendered to you in a hurry.” Olivia gave him a cold hand in dismissal. “Please, spare me the joke. Is it the replica dress you bought for me that I should be grateful for?” Joshua coughed out as if choked with something. His eyes darte
Chapter 72: James Gets Enough of it!
Irritation smeared on James' face as he got downstairs and saw Joshua holding Olivia's hand. Joshua nodded with a smile. “Yes, Granny. Olivia gave me a call when she was in trouble, and I couldn't help but go to her rescue when your grand-son-in-law couldn't.” He said that on purpose to watch Grandma Aurora's reaction. Grandma Aurora scoffed. “That pathetic fool can never be my grandson-in-law,” her teeth gritted. She then smiled, “I’m glad you helped her. Remain blessed, my son.” She placed her hand on his face warmly. Joshua blushed shyly. He smirked at James and replied. “It's nothing, Granny. Olivia is more than who you think she is to me.” Evelyn cleared her throat, making it a bit audible. She interrupted, letting out an appreciative smile. “James told us what happened, and I must say you did well to help Olivia out. Thank you.” Joshua walked to her, letting go of Olivia's hand. She looked at Evelyn and said. “You don't have to thank me. Anything for Olivia, I'm w
Chapter 71
Evelyn sighed after James left. “Mom, you shouldn't have said that to him. That hurts.” She felt how frustrated James was.Grandma Aurora gave her a fierce stare and scoffed. “As if I care,” she replied coldly and sat back. Evelyn only shook her and huffed. Meanwhile, Joshua inspected the scratch on the car and mumbled to himself, “How could she be so blind to have hit such an expensive car? This is beyond what I can afford. Besides, my mother is the one financing my luxurious lifestyle.” He shook his head. “No, I must find a way out of this. Something must be done. I can't let myself down like this.” He scratched the back of his head, thinking deeply. All of a sudden, something seemed to creep into his head. He nodded and muttered, “Yes.” Looking at the man, he asked, “How much does this thing cost in the market?”The man arched his brow, puzzled. Did he just call his brand-new Range Rover this thing? His heart twisted in anger. However, he managed to feign a smile, believing Jo
Chapter 70
Olivia didn't hesitate. “I accidentally hit a car—a Range Rover—and I'm being asked to get a new one.” James blinked, “What? Alright, just send me the location, and I'll be there.” Olivia sighed. “Don't worry, I've informed Joshua about it. He's on his way to help.” James felt a sharp surge of embarrassment. Something of this happened. And Joshua was the first person she could inform? Alright. “Oh,” James exclaimed bitterly, his voice low, “I think I'm not needed then. Bye.” He abruptly ended the call, bittered. His grip tightened on his phone and his jaw clenched. “She doesn't even regard me at all. What's the essence of me trying to prove my love to her?” James felt his heart clutched. He hesitated. “Alright, if she thinks Joshua is the right person to help her, then it's perfectly fine. Let me go home,” he pocketed his phone, entered the car, and said, “Please, drive me home.” Meanwhile, as the call abruptly disconnected, Olivia frowned slightly, “Who does he think h
Chapter 69
James slammed his hand on the desk, enraged. The cashier was taken aback at the unexpected display. Gabriel blinked, his eyes darting on James. The slamming drew little attention from the onlookers to the place. However, they just walked away, not really taking it seriously. “What's that question supposed to mean?” James snarled at the cashier. “Do I look like I'm here for a joke? Didn’t I know I was capable before coming here?” His eyes were becoming red with rage. “I'm sorry, sir,” the cashier winked, her lips vibrating as she quickly apologized, “I was just trying to be sure before I can proceed with anything.” Her voice was soft. She continued, “We've experienced lots of incidents like this where young men around your age will come here and after agreeing on everything, they'll end up not buying again.” James was calm. He knew how painful and frustrating this could be. “But I'm not them. Everyone shouldn't be treated like they have the same fate.” The cashier nodded,
Chapter 68
James nodded, bringing himself low. His composure shifted slightly, glancing around. Then his eyes fell on a car that grabbed his attention. It was a sleek black, classic Honda Accord. Pointing to it, James said, “That will serve better.” He walked closer to get a proper view of it. Indeed, it was something great. It was spacious, having comfortable seating places. It also has a large trunk for luggage. Walsh's jaws sunk to the ground when he heard James say that. His eyes went straight to the car. His mouth swung open but nothing came out. He shifted his eyes, settling it on James, disbelief crossing them. Joy engulfed him. Gabriel looked at James and a soft chuckle almost escaped his mouth. Maintaining his professional composure, he replied, “It's a nice choice, sir. But I must say it's very expensive.” James sighed, his expression still calm even though he knew Gabriel was trying to look down on him. “I know it would be expensive, and I'm capable of getting it; that
