“Hahaha! Hahaha! This guy has finally gone crazy”
Even though Carla’s family was laughing at him, it was an evil laughter as they mocked him. His grandmother in-law looked like she was about to pop a vein on her forehead.“You must be mad. Do you think you think I’m joking with you here? Or you’re trying to take advantage of the house that we have you and swindle someone with it?”His wife’s grandmother was obviously very irritated at him and she looked like she was about to explode.“After everything we’ve done for you ingrate, this is how you choose to reward our benevolence towards you? We provided a house for you to live in, gave you a job and now you think of it as a perfect time to show your true colours?”In her mind she had always disapproved of Carla getting married to Darius but her granddaughter was just to stubborn. Despite knowing Darius’ financial state, she still stayed with him. Her grandmother never knew what was going through her mind and she had always failed to get them separated.One would think that it was because she didn’t want Carla to regret her life choices but it was just a facade. Deep down the real reason she hated Darius was because he was poor and abandoned by his father. Him marrying into their family would only spoil their reputation and make them the scorn of the society.That was why she had tried to make him look alright by giving him a house and a job. Well, it wasn’t like he really gained much because the money he manages to earn from his job would be spent on his house rent.However, now that the opportunity to carry out her plan to get rid of him had presented itself, there was no way she was going to pass it up. This was just the perfect opportunity for her to put some of her plans to action.She spoke to her son, Carla’s Father. “Johnson, call Galliard the butler for me.”Johnson picked his phone and called Galliard then gave the phone to his mother. She cleared her throat and when Galliard picked the call she began to give him orders.“Galliard. This is Felicia Morris, your employer. I want you to do some things for me. Call the company and tell the boss there to fire Darius Featherington from the company. There’s no longer a job for him there. Also send some guys to the house we have Darius and move out all his personal belongings out of the housea and also confiscate the keys of the car we have the bastard.”Darius just stood there as he frowned a little because they would mishandle his stuff. But well, his life was about to change so he just smiled again. Felicia seeing this finally turned to her granddaughter Carla and tried to convince her again.“Carla can you see what I’ve been warning you about? This guy has nothing to offer you. He was cast out his father’s house with his decrepit mother and he has been trying to use our family as his stepping stone to rise again in society. He doesn’t have anything to offer you. Now that he’s on the streets can you see how useless he is?”Carla was starting to get annoyed as her grandmother insulted her husband and basically ruined his life. She was fuming from deep inside and feeling sad. But she was also feeling confused and uncertain at the same time.Darius was a good man who never lied to her, and she knew that he couldn’t just say something like that without any basis. Why would Darius suddenly say something like that? Was there a secret she didn’t know about? Thinking about it she never really knew much about Darius’ mother and even he had said several times that he doesn’t know about his mother’s family because she always refused to tell him, always saying she will tell him everything when the time was right.So there was a slim possibility that he was saying the truth but it was just to ridiculous to believe. Plus she didn’t really care about his present financial state.But her grandmother continued to speak.“Carla, Darius is no good for you. I’ve been trying to link you up with Philip but you won’t just listen. Why do you keep clinging to this man. Philip is everything he is and more. He is rich, he has a rich family and even his own company. He would be able to provide for every single thing that you need.”“His family has always been close to our Morris family from ages. There’s really no one better for your dear. Divorce this man and marry Philip.”Seeing that Carla was still ignoring her words she switched to using emotional blackmail.“Carla, if you care about your family you’ll do what is right. Have you considered that you continually make I and your parents sad as you going to this pauper. Look now, he has even gone crazy. Think about your family dear. You’ll make your entire family proud of you. Just come marry Philip, he’s a little rough around the edges but he’s a million times better than this Darius.Carla couldn’t keep quiet anymore, she was sick of her family trying to convince her to marry Philip. He was a playboy that slept with different women everywhere and everyone knew about it. Added to the fact that he was ugly and the only thing he had going for him was his money, family and big belly. There was no way she would marry that punk. So she finally decided to tell her family what she could not say all this while.“I don’t care about Phillip! I don’t care if he has money or not! For crying out loud, I don’t even like the guy! Tell him to keep whatever fucking thing he has to himself!” She yelled out.
