Meanwhile, after the Carls had a swell time with Linus, they headed home.“Have you made up your mind to allow Linus to matchmake you with one of his friends?” Clara questioned.“Please, not now! I am exhausted.” Jacelyn replied weakly.Through the ride, she felt bad for speaking to Francis coldly. She planned to settle things amicably with him when they arrived home.Ten minutes passed. The Carls arrived home.Noticing the caution tape stating DO NOT TRESPASS and the soldiers standing at the front of the house left them confused and scared.Eager to know what was happening, they all got out of the car and approached the soldiers.Thompson summoned courage and said.“What’s happening here? This is our house.”The cold stare from the soldiers made Thompson fidget but he pretended to be unmoved.“You don't have the right to this place. Leave before you are punished for trespassing!” One of the soldiers warned.The other soldier went on to tell them about the house being used as a collat

Francis threw a cold stare at Linus but he didn't notice because he was happy.“Can you see how real men settle things within the blink of an eye? You are just useless.” Clara pointed at Francis.Anita shook her head and looked at Francis. “Don't you think Jacelyn deserves someone better than you? You are hated here, why not leave for good?”Without giving a reply, Francis stood and turned to return into the house.Jacelyn stood before him. “Aren't you supposed to be used to my family's harsh talk by now? Don't let it get to you. Just then, Francis received a call from Williams.“You did it, right?” Those were Francis' words before he hung up.Then he turned to Jacelyn. “How can I watch another man take glory for what I did?”“What do you mean?” Jacelyn asked confusedly.“Your family regained this house because of me and not Linus. I informed Mr. Williams of the situation and he assured me that he was going to settle everything.” Francis explained with a frown.Jacelyn couldn't beli

Despite the cool environment, sweat beads formed in Sonia's forehead. She was heated up inwardly.After weighing the aftermath of each punishment, Sonia couldn't make a choice. She joined her hands together and fell to her knees. “Mr. Anthony, I am very sorry.”“Sorry?” Silas shook his head and shouted. “Sorry cannot fix this case. Make a choice!”Sonia uttered with a teary voice, “I will go with the second punishment.”It was better for her to work and manage the little pay for the next three months than staying away without pay because this was her only source of income.Sonia bowed her head in shame and cried profusely.Francis noticed Jacelyn's pitiful expression but he ignored it. Despite the way people humiliated her, she still had a soft heart.Francis looked at Silas. “I believe my wife won't be able to work effectively today because of what happened. Can she take today off?”Quickly and respectfully, Silas replied. “She can take the day off. She can return anytime she deems

He just had to bear their excesses because of Jacelyn. “All your views about Jacelyn having a relationship with the owner of Celestial Brand are false. Jacelyn only benefited from the good relationship that I had with him years back. I would appreciate it if you all respect her.” Francis said with a cold expression.His words make the Carls exchange glances among themselves.Francis looked at Jacelyn. “It's your first day at work. You have to resume early.”Without uttering a word, Jacelyn headed out of the mansion while Francis followed after her.Francis left the house and called Henry to come and pick him.Soon, Francis was seated beside Henry in a vehicle that had tinted glasses.Francis has been thinking about Aunt Anna lately so he decided to dial her number.“Hi, Aunt Anna.” Francis said immediately she picked.“Francis, where have you been all this while?” The voice on the end uttered happily.“Been around, trying to make ends meet.” Francis replied. He went on to ask about h

At the Carls’ mansion.Every member of the family was present even though some of them still had a sleepy look.“We are all here because of an important issue that concerns Jacelyn.” Grandpa Carl spoke.“Grandpa, Jacelyn is the reason why our sleep was cut short! Can't the issue be resolved later in the day?” Keren mumbled and threw a cold stare at Jacelyn.“It is urgent that's why I summoned everyone here.” Grandpa cleared his throat.“Grandpa, why am I the cause of this meeting?” Jacelyn managed to ask because she couldn't bear the cold stare she received from Thompson and Keren.Grandpa crossed his leg over the other. “As we all know, you have gotten an appointment with Celestial Brand. How do you plan to manage that with your position in Carlton?” “Grandpa, hasn't Jacelyn been ripped off her position in Carlton after what happened the last time?” Thompson queried angrily.“Now that she is back to the family, she maintains the position.” Grandpa replied indifferently.Grandpa didn

Jaxon was furious. He decided to show his capabilities. He quickly stopped one of the waiters that was with the Carls.Jaxon said, “I am a wealthy man. I will pay whatever it takes to grant me access to the VIP sections now. Name the price and I will double it.”“Are you out of your senses?” The waiter flared. “Only special people are granted access to the VIP section.”“I know and I'm willing to do all it takes.” Jason uttered, smiling brightly.“Guards,” the waiter screamed.Almost immediately, two guards appeared.“Throw this man out of here, he is causing a commotion.” The waiter instructed. The waiter knew better than to keep Jacelyn waiting otherwise they would face Hartford's wrath.“Hold on, do you know who I am?” Jaxon said angrily.“If you are so important, you don't have to make an announcement before we know who you are.” One of the guards said.They pulled Jaxon out of XYLCORD.Clara sighed. She was happy to see how Jaxon was embarrassed. He might be richer than her husba
