The Wealth Swap: Reclaiming His Legacy Chapter 13
Collins had a feeling that Maxwell was planning on promoting him. However, he did not expect to be the CEO.That's too big a role to give to someone who was just a mere construction worker.He could still not believe his ears but had to accept Maxwell's handshake by standing up with him.“Congratulations Mr. Collins Greenwood on your new promotion. I believe that you deserve the position and I know that you won't let this company down." With his mouth open, Collins only gaped at Maxwell who was smiling warmly at him."I have made the right decision, haven't I?” He asked Collins who nodded repeatedly.Maxwell sat back on the chair smiling as he thought of something before saying to Collins.“Can you see that you're the answer to your own prayer and the hope you had. You're the man you hoped would lead this great firm better than Victor Morgan." Indeed, Collins had been working at the place all these years, hoping that a better leader would emerge.Now he was the leader who would be b

“You're bluffing, right? I don't believe a word that you just said." Silver finally broke the silence between them.Deep down in her heart, she was happy about Valerie's family misfortune. And so was Anaya.They had been jealous for nothing.The only thing that gave Valerie an edge over them was the wealth of Maurice who she got married to.It was possible that Maurice would now be responsible for her parents. If it weren't so, her parents would starve to death.Unless they both got a job and started working because as it stood, there was no way for them to earn again.They can only earn by working.However, it would be difficult for the couple to go and start working under somebody especially after tasting a very luxurious life.It was like falling from Grace to grass.

If they didn't pull th

"I'm sure that whatever I acquire from him will go a long way in helping my parents.” Valerie concluded and saw the shocking look on her friends' faces."What is it, girls? Tell me, Is it an impossible mission? I just believe that since he was not poor after all, It's only proper and wise to get what had always belonged to me.”“I can't let him go away with everything, that's why I have to fight for what's mine.”"Are you sure about that?” Anaya inquired and Valerie nodded with pursed lips."I'm very sure about it. Now tell me, what do you suggest?” Valerie casted a glance at Silver and waited for her suggestion.She nodded in agreement and added. “Val, you're absolutely right. Maxwell shouldn't keep everything to himself when you were once married.”"You're supposed to get your own share of his properties.”"Exactly.” Anaya agreed with her friend. "I think you should take him to court.”At the end, Anaya and Silver agreed for Valerie to go to court, even when they already knew what t

The waiter followed behind Maxwell and saw that he didn't go and sit down on a table. Instead, he walked up to another waiter and muttered a question in his ears.“Where's the Manager's office?" The man pointed to a particular direction and Maxwell followed the path that led him to the Manager's office.He was about to knock on the door but changed his mind.Maxwell went back to the restaurant hall and sat on one of the tables. He ordered some food for himself.The demeaning waiter, who had seen that he was in trouble, decided to treat Maxwell better.It was a way of atoning for his sins with the hope that Maxwell would forgive him and not get him into trouble by reporting him to the manager. It was not the arrogant and demeaning waiter who took Maxwell's order. However, he decided to bring the meals for him.When his food arrived, Maxwell didn't mind who served him or even looked at the waiter's face. He just went ahead and began to devour the food.From where he sat, he could feel

The manager was already afraid when he heard that his job would also be on the line.He had no idea who Maxwell was and what he was capable of doing.If he could give away a sum of twenty thousand dollars just to get a waiter fired, then he could pay more to have him dismissed.He could find the owner of the restaurant and make him terminate his job.The man was not ready to lose his job because of a mere waiter.“Hmph. That's more like it." Maxwell chuckled with a smug smile on his face.He went closer to the man and leaned on the table.Fixing his eyes on Mr. Parker, Maxwell muttered to his face. “I want him sacked. It's the guy who was standing outside with me earlier." "I'll do that, right away. Please, wait for me here.”"Of course.” Maxwell nodded as Mr. Parker left the office and went to call on the waiter who followed behind him.Because he knew what was going to happen to him, he kept a pleading expression.When they got to the office, Mr. Parker said to the waiter.“I'm sor

Valerie's utterances got her friends gasping at her. Louis, the waiter, also stood aside and was watching the drama which was playing before him.From what he noticed, the duo knew each other before. He believed that they were married in the past but somehow, the marriage didn't go well.They had to end it and still remained enemies.“Hahaha. You've gotta be kidding me." Maxwell could not help but laugh at his ex-wife's foolishness.He believed that she was not using her brains. If she was, she wouldn't be standing before his face and confronting him.Maxwell remembered the last time something like that happened.It was the previous day after his court case with Victor Morgan was over. He turned out to be the winner and took over everything that belonged to him, leaving Valerie's parents with nothing.Valerie came to his home and confronted him. However, after she left, her husband came to give him a warning to stay away from his wife.It turns out that Valerie's husband, Maurice, w

Maxwell got into his car and drove off as well.Just then, his phone began to ring and he answered the call without looking at the number.“Hello." “Max, where are you? I've been waiting for you at the company and they told me that you drove out." Maxwell quickly recognized the voice. It was Angel's voice and listening to it got him angrier.“What do you want, Angel? Have I not warned you not to call my number again. You are really very stubborn." Angel ignored his scolding and said further."Please, hurry up and come over here. I'm waiting for you close to the gate.”Maxwell ended the call and continued driving. Well, he was already going to the place before Angel's call came in.He'd have to find out what she wants when he gets there.It took him over thirty minutes to go get to Keystone builders and there was Angel, standing outside the gate.Her car was parked by the side and as soon she saw Maxwell, she opened the back seat and brought out a plastic bag.Angel gave the bag to

Maxwell had spent two years of his life in prison and had seen people like that. They were always in their little group doing one thing or the other.While in the prison, he saw them sell drugs amongst inmates. And the worst was that most the prison warders were aware of the businesses going on at the place.They had to keep quiet and look away when a huge amount of money was handed over to them.The prison was just another world of its where criminals were working for criminals who had been sent to serve jail terms.These criminals were sent to correctional centers to become better people and stop crime.Unfortunately, they never change and some seem to get even worse in prison. When they're finally released, they continue their crimes and become even worse at it.Angel turned back to the boys and replied to them. “I'm sorry guys, I don't run errands anymore. And please, don't call me again for such deals.”"I'm not interested anymore, no matter the amount that's involved.”After say

Angel had offended him in the past. However, it looked like Wyatt was taking it personally.He sounded more angry at Angel than Maxwell was.“Look, Maxwell. You don't have to feel bad for whatever must have happened to her. I'm sure she brought it upon herself." Wyatt continued, leaving Maxwell more puzzled.Wyatt was already pessimistic and believed that something bad must have happened to Angel. Contrary to what Maxwell wanted to hear.He really wanted to hear that Angel was safe and no harm had befallen her.“Wyatt, are you for real? How can you be like this? Don't tell me that you really wanted something bad to happen to her?" “Do you really hate her that much?" “I don't hate her. It's just difficult for me to come to terms with what she did to you. Have you forgotten that the lady sent you to prison?" He replied seriously.“You should also remember that she helped me. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have reclaimed all that belonged to me." Maxwell replied back to him.After a

Victor stood up and began to pace around the sitting room.“How dare he lay a finger on my daughter? And he did not even consider your condition." He was totally mad but helpless at the same time.After pacing for sometime, he sighed deeply and started towards the door. “I'm going over there to deal with that bastard for beating up my daughter.”Victor had resolved to fight with Maurice if he had to.Maurice does not have the right to beat up his daughter no matter what.“Don't go there, please. I don't want you to get into any more trouble because of Maurice.” Patricia swiftly ran and blocked his path.She believed that confronting Maurice and starting a fight with him would not solve the problem.“You're not going there to start a fight with your son-in-law. I won't allow that. There's a better way to resolve such an issue of domestic violence." "Moreover, we're yet to deal with the issue with Maxwell. If we're able to take over everything he has, then we'll have all the power and

Maurice's driver and the security guard had hurried to the scene when they heard someone screaming.Barbara, the maid, had also run to call them for help only to see them running towards the house.They flung the door open and ran to see Valerie on the ground while Maurice was pouncing on her.They had to act fast and dragged Maurice up, shoving him aside without minding if he was their boss.“Sir, this is so wrong. You don't hit a woman. And do you want to kill her?” His driver seriously scolded him.Maurice glared at each of them and straightened his clothes before he began to ascend the stairs without a word.While he left them, Barbara ran to meet up with Valerie.They helped her up and she was led to the sitting room.Barbara hurried to the kitchen to get someone ice cubes for Valerie's injuries.When Barbara was back from the ice cubes, the men decided to leave them alone.They were completely speechless and could not say anything to Valerie. All they felt for her was pity.They

Maxwell's face paled when he heard the words from Gratel. He stood frozen at a spot and could not get himself to move or even utter a word.All he did was gape at the young lady before him.Angel was missing, how?“I don't believe you." Maxwell suddenly replied, shaking his head vigorously.He doesn't know the strange girl standing before him and there's no way he'd believe a word from her.She's a total stranger who claimed to be Angel's friend. What if she's lying or probably up to something.“What do you hope to achieve by doing this? And why are you telling me about it, that's if it's true.”"I've been trying to reach her but she hasn't been reachable since the previous day.”"Then wait for her to reach you. She's an adult and not a child who can suddenly go missing.” Maxwell suddenly snapped at her. He kept a straight face and closed in on the young lady, standing before her face.He tilted himself and whispered to her. “Leave this place now before I call security on you. Your pl

As soon as the lawyer left them there at the courtroom, Valerie yelled in frustration while breathing heavily. After a moment of silence, she turned to her parents with a long face and said to them,“Mom, Dad. You have to go home now. I'll try and figure out what I must do next to get what I deserve. I'm never giving up on getting my own share of his properties.”Victor and his wife shared confusing glances and wanted to retort but Valerie was not in the mood to listen.She quickly told her parents off and sent them on their way home.After that, Valerie left the courtroom as well and drove away to meet up with her friend.She got to Anaya’s coffee shop and found both of her friends engrossed in a serious conversation. However, they stopped talking when they saw Valerie approaching them.Valerie, who was unsuspecting of her friends, gloomily went to meet up with them.“What's going on with you, Val?" Anaya was the first to inquire as she drew out a chair for Valerie to sit on. She was

Maxwell scoffed loudly and turned his gaze back to his ex-wife. After a moment of silence, he said to her in a disgusting tone. “And you, we had something good going on between us but you let your parents deceive you." “If you didn't listen to them, we would have still been together and there won't be any need for this court case." “Well, except for the court case between your parents and I because I needed to reclaim my father's legacy which they stole." “You are a damn cheat and rapist. How do you expect me to believe someone like you who was not content with his wife. You had to go and cheat on me with another woman and even went as far as raping her.” Valerie retorted angrily, her face burning with so much rage.Maxwell looked at her for a while and laughed before replying. "You're still in the dark. Go ahead and ask your parents what truly happened.”"You should have known by now that your parents framed me.”Valerie had already found out about that part of the story. She only

A while later, he was ready and made his way downstairs to meet a meal of Omelette muffins and a cup of coffee.“Good morning, Sir. Your breakfast is served. And I do hope you'll enjoy it.” Damian, the chef greeted him while standing by the side.Kay and Leilani, the new maids, also stood beside Damian and greeted in unison.“Good morning, Sir." At first, Maxwell was caught unawares and only gaped at the strangers before him.He was not used to seeing them around.“Sir, are you okay?" Damian's question jolted him out of his reverie and he forced out a smile and nodded.“I'm fine, thank you for the breakfast." Maxwell replied to him. He turned to the maids and nodded at them. “Good morning, uh…”"It's Kay and Leilani." Kay reminded him of their names as she pointed at herself and the other person. And from the way they acted, Maxwell believed that they must be close friends Since they were only new employees, Maxwell had still not memorized their names so they had to remind him.“Oh,

Without even casting a glance at her, Maurice left the room. Valerie had fallen on the ground from the push and remained on the ground while cursing at her husband.Everything was happening like a movie. Her loving and caring husband who worshipped the ground she walked on have changed.He was gradually changing into something she could not explain.Valerie gradually stood up from the ground and followed her husband quietly. She got downstairs and heard Maurice ordering the maid.“Barbara. Get me my dinner now." He yelled in frustration. He was really hungry and had just realized it after throwing up and getting himself cleaned up.Maurice was famished and when the maid came with his food, he did not let the plate sit on the table before digging into it.While he ate, Valerie sat on a sofa in the sitting room, watching him with a deep frown on her face.She was angry and thinking as well. What was she missing?For all the time she's been married to Maurice, he's never raised his voic

Pablo smiled sadly and said to him, "I miss them as well. And I'm certain that your parents are proud of you. I know that they would have traded anything to stay alive and see you grow up.”He reached out and patted Maxwell gently on the back. “You're strong, Maxwell and I'm happy to help you." Maxwell remained silent and after a while, he decided to wave it off. “Thank you for offering to help me fight those people in court. I know how busy you've become but you chose to always stand by me.”"Stop thanking me. It's my duty to always fight for you. Your Dad was a good man and treated me well. So let's say that I'm repaying his good deeds.” Pablo replied to him, smiling warmly.After their time together at the place, Pablo went back home and so did Maxwell.Since he was studying online, he needed to go home and meet up with his classes.Maxwell wanted to learn more about business management. His father has left him with some businesses which he had taken over.However, he was not cap
