Chapter 26
Soon, the Carls arrived at their destination. The digital display board showed WELCOME TO XYLCORD.XYLCORD was a popular and exquisite restaurant. There were lots of terms and levels for their customers. Even though their meals were expensive, those who patronized the restaurants were always satisfied.“I'm so sorry, for those who don't have the passcard. All our tables have been occupied. You can check back tomorrow.”A young lady who was behind a counter announced.“What? Our coming here was useless.” Keren muttered.“What a pity! I have a useless husband and a worthless son-in-law. None of them can bypass this long procedure to get us a table in the reserved arena. XYLCORD always have room reserved for their VIP members.” Clara lamented.“Look at you, Francis. Aren't ashamed of yourself. Can't you see what young men like you are doing?” Clara added bitterly.Francis didn't feel embarrassed. Quietly, he went out without informing Jacelyn.“Don't tell me Jacelyn and her family can't

Clara threw a cold stare at Paul and returned to the car.Soon all the Carls' were inside the vehicle but the ride was filled with silence.When they returned home, Grandpa Carl who was pacing around restlessly in the compound suddenly said.“Is the lady Jacelyn? Did you confirm her identity? Is she a member of our family?”Thompson glanced at Paul before saying.“Father, the lady is Jacelyn and she is the person we all know. She is a member of our family. She can now walk and her face is without blemish.” He sighed. “She has refused to return home.”“What do you mean by she has refused to return home? This is the only home she has.” Grandpa Carl snorted.Keren rolled her eyes. “We need to give Jacelyn time. She just got an appointment with Celestial Brand, don't expect her to do everything we tell her now.”Grandpa Carl frowned. He didn't want to have anything to do with Jacelyn again but now that she has an appointment with Celestial Brand, he needs her to curry favor from the admin

“Please, I can’t mention the pay I want monthly. Pay me according to the rules and standards if the company.” Jacelyn responded quickly.If she had mentioned any amount, she knew the company would agree to pay but she didn’t want to abuse the unexplainable offer she was getting.They finalized the process and Jacelyn said she would be resuming in two days as stated on her offer letter.Walking slowly, Jacelyn returned to meet Francis who was leaning against a car.“I got the job.” She said with a low tone.“I knew you would.” Francis yelled.Noticing that she wasn’t happy, he asked.“Aren’t you happy about the job offer? Is it a stressful position? Did Silas try to take advantage of you?”“No… everything feels like a dream. I can’t believe it.”Francis smiled. “Cheer up. I am happy. This calls for double celebration: you recovered your look and now you have a job with Celestial Brand. Let’s pay Henry a visit to share the news.”Grudgingly, she agreed and they headed to the Crimson Vil

Francis laughed. “You are not serious.”“Really?” Jacelyn arched her brow. “But you always speak confidently when talking about Celestial Brand!”“Its just that I like been positive Cox I believe there is power in the tongue.” Francis sighed. “After all, you have an existing business relationship with the manager of Celestial Brand, it would be easier to get a job if you want to work there.”“Hmm,” Jacelyn expressed.Jacelyn asked about his job application and he told her that he had gotten a job at Celestial Brand.“An administrative assistant? So easily. Congratulations, half bread is better than none.” She uttered after going through his appointment letter.“Guess who is the most beautiful woman in Kentic City now?” Francis uttered, changing the topic.“I can't guess. I am not current with what is happening outside.” She replied.“I see. Turn to the mirror.” He gestured to the mirror stand.“What do you think you are doing? Are you trying to spite me?” Jacelyn asked angrily.“Why w

At 8 o’clock in the morning, Francis was dressed in his casual outfits.“Jace, I'm set to go hunt for job. I hope I get one so I can take care of you very well.” Francis uttered calmly.“I wish you all the best,” said Jacelyn.Francis left the room and he called Henry to come and pick him up.Ten minutes later, Henry arrived. Francis sat at the front as Henry maintained the driver's seat.“Where are you going to?” Henry asked.“To Celestial Brand Office. I need a job.”Henry couldn't help but gasp at Francis' last sentence. He knew Francis must have his reasons so he remained quiet.Francis stroke his hand gently against the window and said. “I got a call from the Feral King.”With Henry listening attentively, Francis told him about their conversation.“He has a point though but you also gave the perfect response.” Henry uttered respectfully.Henry continued, “I heard Sly Kimberly is investigating if there is any family member of Gad’s alive?”Francis pouted, “He should do all he want

In the early hours of the following day, Jacelyn woke up earlier than Francis.She managed to turn to face the mirror, crying and cursing herself.“I will remain here till I die.”“How do I face the corporate world with this look?”“Where do I start from?”Her sobs woke Francis.Francis shook his head and held her hand. “Your ceaseless cries will give you migraines.”“Hmm. I will understand if you leave me. Let's get a divorce so you can move on with your life while I wallow in the shadow of myself and inability to walk.”Francis was stunned to hear this. “What do you mean? I won't leave you. I will be with you till my last breath. Don't believe the doctor's words. You will walk again and you will become more beautiful than ever.”Jacelyn felt he was just using that to cheer her so his words didn't make her feel better.Then came a knock on the door. Jacelyn glanced at Francis.“Are you expecting someone?” She asked.“Yes, it's Henry. He is here because of your treatment.”As Francis
