Chapter 47
Neal couldn't hold back his laughter anymore. He shook his head, his shoulders trembling. He found Cathy's choice of made-up lies to accuse him of ridiculous.While Neal laughed, contemplating the stupidity of Cathy's words, the family members insulted him.“A leech has more sympathy than this man!”"He should be locked up. How dare you cheat on Cathy after they've treated you with so much kindness? How dare you!”“He's even laughing. Are we sure this man is mentally stable?”“I doubt.”"Before he's locked up, he should be taken to a psychiatric hospital to get checked.”“Cathy, what exactly were you thinking marrying someone like this?" “I had no idea that he was this worthless. I assumed that he was just poor." Neal sobered up. He looked up to meet Cathy's gaze and found her gaze already on him. Her eyes were shooting daggers at him, damning him for finding the situation funny.“Where's your evidence, Cathy? Show me." Cathy sneered. “There is enough evidence. The company’s financ
Chapter 46
Neal, an expert at ignoring jabs at him, focused on Cathy. She now had a mischievous smile as she clung to Moise. Cathy wanted him to shut up, to admit that he was wrong and wretched like he used to do. But Neal had no plan of doing any of that. Especially not now that Moise was there to spew more lies.“Look what you've caused now?" Neal chuckled lightly, mocking them. “Even the wrong son now believes he's the heir and will take over the family's businesses.”Moise grew angry at this, his face instantly reddened. He took a forceful step forward, ready to hit Neal, but Cathy quickly stopped Moise.“Don't bother yourself, Moise,” she said soothingly to Moise as she pulled him back, a glare directed at Neal. “What is wrong with you, Neal?” She yelled. “You have no respect whatsoever. How dare you speak to the Beckman heir like this?" Neal shook his head, "Cathy, you need to stop this. You need to stop giving your family false hope. Well,” he shrugged, "I don't really blame you. You kno
Chapter 45
Cathy burst out, laughing. She pretended to wipe tears from the corner of her eyes.“You really are hilarious, Neal." Neal scoffed. "I’m glad you find this funny, but I don't intend to amuse you,” he said with a straight face. “Moise is simply not who you think he is." Cathy sucked in her teeth. She glared harder at Neal. Will he just shut his trap and sit his loser ass down like he was meant to do? It baffled her, really. Neal used to be so obedient, so compliant. When did it all change? Could it really be because he was dating Amber? That was definitely why. And seeing as he had agreed to attend the meeting only because she threatened to reveal his relationship with Amber, she could as well let it out. Since he wouldn't stop blabbering nonsense, she'd shut him up.One corner of her lips tipped up as she sneered at him, "You're so pathetic and delusional. You think you can now act untouchable and speak for the Beckman family just because you've managed to cling to the family's daug
Chapter 44
“You guys think my daughter is a liar like you all?" Tina shut everyone up. They all turned to her.Lisa glared at Tina, wishing she and Frank would keep quiet or vanish from the room so they could torment Cathy as long as they wanted.“Why won't we think so when her words signify that she's nothing but a liar!”“Yes!" Another of the family members backed Lisa up. “What I see now is her trying to lie her way into remaining in the position." Tina scoffed, refusing to back down. “As Nelsons, one of our values is transparency and honesty. If your family does not uphold that, mine does! If we didn't, do you think the public would trust our businesses like they do? Do you think the company would have grown?”Lisa and the rest of them cowered back a little. Tina sat straighter, content that she had shut them up. “One of the many things you should never accuse my daughter of is being a liar! She isn't!” She barked at them. "You want everyone to be like you and your lazy son but you'll neve
Chapter 43
Lisa, Ben’s wife, placed her clutch on the table as she showed off her manicured hands. "He's nothing compared to my son, Carl, who's been working hard to boost the family's business." Lisa's tongue rolled around her son’s name like it was gold."In addition to that,” Ben pushed his chest out. “Carl is dating the daughter of another wealthy family of greater value.”Frank hissed and muttered under his breath, his gaze on his phone's screen. “You're proud because they're merely dating.”Jack slammed his palm on the table. “I want absolute quiet!" The table grew silent.Jack let everyone feel the heat of his glare before he continued his talk about how to get the family business to greater heights.“On this account, before our next meeting, I want all of you to have a practical and detailed idea of how to move the business forward. I also want a list of companies we can partner with. Attach the whys; what's significant about them? How can we grow by partnering with them? Then outline t
Chapter 42
Cathy told Neal the time the meeting would hold. Neal ended the call right after.A moment later, Vanessa walked into the diner, all smiles. Her eyes immediately found Neal at the far end of the diner, the seat she had recommended on his first day. That pleased her. Apart from that, Neal was always easy to spot because of how he always stood out wherever he was. She made a beeline for him. “Hello, friend," she grinned as she took a seat.Still slightly pissed that he’d have to attend the Nelsons family gathering, Neal still had a subtle frown on. But when he heard Vanessa's greeting, he managed a smile. “Vanessa. How're you?”Vanessa shrugged. "I'm fine. What about you?”He also lifted his shoulders in a shrug. "I'm good.” He answered casually as if he hadn't just humbled Peter like no one has been able to.“Have some," Neal pushed the tray of strawberries toward her and gestured to the second plate that contained more food.“Thank you," Vanessa picked a strawberry. She took a bite a
