Chapter 28
Years ago, Jaxon professed his love and marital intentions to Clara but she rejected him. He wasn't well to do at that time and Clara wanted a man from a wealthy family. Currently, Jaxon wasn't at the same level she had rejected him.Clara didn't want Jaxon to feel that she regretted ever rejecting him.“Well, my family prefers to follow due process. Meet my husband, Paul Carl. He is worth more than you can imagine.” Clara smiled. “And this is my daughter, Jacelyn Carl; the most beautiful girl in Kentic City.”“I must confess, she is beautiful. I saw a lot of news about her on social media. Why then did you allow her to marry a poor person that became a burden on your family as a live-in-son-in-law?” Jaxon crossed his arms over his chest.Clara heaved as she remembered how useless Francis was. As long as Jacelyn was still married to him, insults and embarrassment would be inevitable.She stared at Francis who leans against the counter and had his attention fixed on his phone.Hearing

“Your calm words have nothing on me.” Winifred sneered. “For a start, do what your husband wanted me to do. Go on your knees, touch my feet and apologize.” Francis couldn't help but giggle.Jacelyn was about to bend, in readiness to kneel when Francis' words stopped her.“Jace, don't kneel.” Francis uttered. “If there's anyone who should be apologizing, then it should be her. Don't be scared of her because we are in our right.”Jacelyn's eyes darted between Francis and Clara.“Poor people are said to be humble but not in this case. I will deal with you.” Winifred stamped her feet furiously.She was about to place a call when a young man approached with a cold gaze and uttered.“What is going on here?”The man was Sir. Peter, the manager of XYLCORD.Winifred replied with a pitiful tone. “These people humiliated and bullied me. They have to be punished.”“What?!” Sir. Peter widened his eyes. “Miss Laviers, I never expected that you would be here when I was informed that there was a com

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
