Soft music played in the background as everyone danced slowly, Xavier looked around the crowd and found James staring lustfully at his wife. He walked immediately and held her waist protectively. His phone beeped and he saw a message from Linda “Everything is set sir.” He smiled inwardly. “Mhm…attention everyone! I have an announcement to make, on behalf of the Berol corporation company. We've appointed a new director of the Berol corporation company…My in-law to be Greg!” Kisha announced, smiling broadly. “What!? Aunt Kisha, you can't do this!” Joyce shouted in shock. “Please step forward Greg.” Kisha added, she looked away from everyone's gaze. “But she already did Joyce, By the way, thank you Aunt Kisha, I have a few words to make everyone…” Greg tried to say, stepping forward. “Beep! Beep!” Everyone's phone beeped and all eyes turned on James. “What? What's going on? Why are you all staring at me!?” James asked in shock. “James, check the trending news! The…the value of your company has dropped 90% in the last 30 seconds!” Kisha dropped the bombshell. James Eyes widened in shock and awe. Xavier chuckled softly. James rushed off to Xavier and dragged his collar. “You Xavier! You did this, didn't you!?” James yelled at him clenching his teeth. “I told you to apologize.” Xavier responded nonchalantly, he yanked James hands off his collar. “Me? Apologize? But how? You're a nobody! Worse than dirt!” James spat out. “Even dirt is tired of being stepped on after a while!” Xavier responded confidently. “How dare you!...” James yelled, his phone ringing noisily. “Pick your calls James, those might be your angry shareholders calling you…ugh..who knows?” Xavier smiled sarcastically. “Please stop this!” James warned. “It's already done. Upset me again, and I will do more than bankrupt you!” Xavier said coldly. “And who are you? I'm bankrupt!? I'm screwed! Completely screwed!” James said and stormed off. Greg stared steadily at Xavier, his eyes widened. “Who are you Xavier McKinney?” Greg muttered as his jaw dropped. Greg walked immediately to Xavier. “ Who are you really!?” He asked him straight to his face. “Greg! Come here please?” Kisha said immediately, Greg turned and walked up to her. “ So everyone, as I was saying before the interruption…please let's welcome Greg the new director of the Berol corporation company!” Kisha announced smiling, Greg waved happily as claps filled the air. “Aunt! But I got the contract!” Joyce interrupted and everyone faced her. “Oh really! Such a vivid imagination my sweet niece.” Kisha giggles. “You know I did.” Joyce said, tears already forming around her eyes. “And would you care to explain how you did it?” Kisha asked immediately. “What? What did you mean?” Joyce inquired, blinking repeatedly. Joyce drawed her long ball gown up and ran out in tears. “Please never mind her, she must have taken too much champagne! Greg, go ahead with your speech.” Kisha smiled nervously. “Thank you Aunt Kisha. As I was saying, I look forward to my new role as the director and working side by side with the CEO of the Berol corporation company.” Greg said with a smile. “Yes! Speaking of the CEO of the Berol corporation company, He is with us tonight! Let's welcome him with generous applause.” Kisha said loudly. Loud applause filled the air. Xavier walked charismatically and majestically out of the crowd with a long face, adjusting his suit. All eyes turned at him as the claps died down immediately. “Xavier, you idiot! What the hell are you doing!?” Kisha asked in disgust. “Calm down Aunt Kisha, I'd like to introduce the secretary of the Berol corporation company… Miss Linda!” Xavier said. Linda walked in with smiles to the stage. “Wait, how does he know the secretary of the Berol corporation company!?” Mira asked, stunned, to no one in particular. “Thank you Xavier. Unfortunately, my employer, the CEO of the Berol corporation company, had to step off for an urgent phone call. But, he has an important message for the family. Their contract…is terminated!” Linda said confidently sipping her wine. “What? Miss Linda, we had a deal, remember?” Kisha pleaded, grabbing her hands. “Yes, and we had a deal with Joyce. But it sounds like you went in a new direction, and placed a spoiled, incompetent nincompoop in her place! That is not allowed to be done, Miss Kisha?” Linda sparked, Greg's face bent down in shame. “And, the CEO wants nothing to do with that man over there, he thought he made that very clear.” Linda added. Linda rushed to her immediately grabbing her arms “ But…” “I assure you Miss Kisha, I'm much stronger than you think you are.” Linda responded furiously. Kisha slowly let go of her arms. “Good night, everyone.” Linda replaced her anger with a smile and left immediately.

6“Ugh, Enzo, you know I have a really loose tongue and I shot from the hip. Just consider what I said as hot air.” Desmond laughed like a lunatic to cover up. His mother-in-law walked around the car touching it's body and marveling in shock.“Enzo, you know plucking my eyes out right now won't change anything. Since I'm really blind at the moment, please let me keep my eyes as a decoration.” Williams said calmly. Enzo chuckled softly.“Sweetie, let it go…Just leave them since we're family, give them a break.” Lily said calmly.“Alright, I will let you guys off the hook for my wife's sake. No need to pluck your eyes or lick the tires. I just want you guys to give me a sincere apology.” Enzo said sarcastically. They nodded sharply immediately.****A man in a suit came down from the car and walked to them immediately. “Please may I know who Mr Enzo is here?” He asked.“That’s me.” Enzo said. The man walked to the car and opened the door.“Sir Enzo…please..” He said and bowed his head.

5“Here I have solved it for you!” Kayima danced happily around the room. Everyone stared at her stunned.“Lisa, kayima solved it first. You promised $100…fulfill it.” Enzo said sarcastically. Lisa gulped hard. Williams's face tightened in anger. Lisa rolled her eyes in a pathetic manner.“Dear kayima, we didn't include you in the game. It's just a cheap Rubik's cube. It's not a Big deal!” Lisa responded. She turned to Desmond quickly.“Honey, let's go to the car and get the big toy we bought.” She added and left.“That's right! Boy, drop this trash called a toy! Only poor people play with such toys. They can never afford the toys we have” Desmond laughed sarcastically and his son threw the toy right in front of kayima. They left.“Daddy! What type of toys do rich people play with?” kayima asked.“Kayima, don't listen to their nonsense. Rich people also have Rubik's cube and play with it.” Enzo responded and kissed her forehead. She nodded and smiled.“Enzo! If you don't know anything

4“Then, this medicine is really effective and not fake!” Dr Kim responded.Everyone's eyes widened in shock. They couldn't talk, they couldn't move. They were devastated to stupor. How is that possible!“Now let me Diego keep taking this medicine. Although it can't cure him, it'll at least greatly relieve his symptoms.” Dr Kim advised.“Okay thanks for letting us know.” They chorused in unison. Their response was scanty.“I will take my leave now.” Dr Kim said. He picked up his bag and left.“I will see you out.” Williams said calmly and left with him. Others bent their heads in shame.“Unexpectedly, Enzo's medicine is effective and not fake!” Rita jumped in excitement.“Effective my foot! It's just a dumb luck!” Desmond responded with jealousy.“How the hell can a common cleaner like him know a miracle doctor? Ridiculous!” Williams said entering from the door.“Hey Enzo! Why are you sitting there? There are lots of dishes to do in the kitchen! Do you want Lily to wash the dishes by

3Dr Kim checked Mr Diego's pulse, everyone gathered around them in the sitting room. Enzo's gaze frequently met with his mother-in-law’s hateful eyes.“Dr Kim, how is my father-in-law's health?” Desmond asked concerned. The doctor dropped Mr Diego's hand and sighs in tiredness.“Dr please don't sigh like that. Is he not going to be fine?” Williams asked.“I’m sorry y'all but there is nothing I can do for Mr Diego's health and illness. You'd better spend more time with him in the future.” Dr Kim responded with bitterness. Mr Diego held his chest coughing loudly, his wife and others held him sadly.“Dr Kim, can you please check this medicine if it can cure his sickness?” Enzo asked, handing him the packaged medicine. Desmond quickly snatched it from him angrily.“Dr Kim, this loser here got this fake herb from a quack Doctor and insisted that my father-in-law take them!” Desmond said with anger and a mixture of mockery. They all chuckled. The doctor took the medicine and started to unw

2“Sir, Mr Enzo is back in a luxury car!” He said happily.“Daddy!” Kayima shouted happily and rushed out. Everyone stared at each other in shock. They all got up and left for outside.“Kayima! Come here!” Enzo smiled as his daughter rushed to hug him, Lily held his hands as they walked to the others. Mike already left with the car before they got there.“Father, I came back to celebrate your birthday. Wishing you all the best.” Enzo said. Mr Diego maintained a straight and disgusting face.“Enzo, that's so impressive of you. You're now driving a luxury and expensive car!” Rita said amidst laughter.“And I bet that car is rented! Stop acting like you're that rich!” Lisa said in a sarcastic way.“Well, after laboring for a whole year, you spent your money on renting that car? Ridiculous!” Desmond whined in laughter. Enzo faced downwards, smiling softly.“By the way Enzo, you came here empty handed? You don't even bother to prepare us a valuable gift! After making some money. Indeed you
