"Hello. I know you don't remember me, you must have forgotten about the incident, but I can't since you are my lifesaver," Harriet said, her gaze as she looked at Ali was filled with admiration and love. Ali stared at the woman confused before looking at Dr Wood to hear him say, "Madam Harriet said you saved her a few weeks ago when she collapsed on the way. She came here looking for you." The memory of the accident appeared in Ali's mind as recognition came on her. "O it's you. How are you? Did you get proper treatment?" She posed the questions, one after the other. Harriet laughed, she was correct about the girl. The concern in her eyes was genuine, and it erased every doubt that the younger woman approached her with motives. "I am fine now thanks to you. I heard what happened to you, hence I have been here waiting for your arrival," Harriet had a look of worry on her face as she looked at Ali's eyes. Ali smiled bitterly, she shook her head, not wanting to think about the s
Vivian looked at her niece's face and her heart clenched with sorrow. When her sister was still alive, Ali never had anything to worry about. But after she died and Lucas married Mary, her life changed, and she was forced to cater for her and her brother. Lucas was a bastard, true and through, and she regretted letting her sister marry him. If only her sister had left with the man she loved, then she would still have been alive. She brought her hand forward to caress Ali's cheeks, and said, "You don't have to cry anymore. Everything will get better from here on, Joe will recover, and you will get the promotion you are looking for." "Until that scumbag is fired from his position, I doubt I will be given any sort of compensation for my hardwork. I am not even thinking about a promotion," Ali picked up the bag and began to remove the things inside. "You can't give up. Miracles can happen," Vivian advised. 'Yeah right, miracles that come late' Ali thought, her expression turning
The operation was a success and Ali couldn't help the smile that refused to leave her face. As she watched her brother sleeping soundly on the bed. Madam Harriet proved true to her words and paid for her brother to be moved to a VIP ward. The room and facilities were something an average person could not afford for even a night. Her phone buzzed in her pocket, prompting her to take a look at it. A scowl quickly formed on her face when she saw the message dropped in their office official group chat. It was a notice to her to finish her presentation and submit it tomorrow, because the CEO was reviewing it. Ali switched off the phone with a triumphant smirk on her lips. She devised a plan right there on how to deal with her scumbag superior. The presentation he is eagerly waiting for will never come, and if he can't provide a suitable replacement by twelve tomorrow afternoon, his salary will be cutoff as punishment. The image of his sour expression as he gets scolded tomorrow w

"Grandma, you can't make decisions about my marriage. You can't even force Gerald to get married, he is older," Martin cried out, not liking what his grandmother was planning. "Since you are protesting, let's start with something simple," Harriet smiled sweetly, a smile that brought goosebumps on his skin. Martin's phone beeped, he checked it and nearly fell off the sofa he was sitting on. It was a notice from his bank, informing him that his accounts had been blocked. "No! No! Grandma what are you doing?' Martin exclaimed. His hands trembled as he held his phone up to check it again. "You planned this since a long time ago, right?" He whimpered like a sick dog. Losing his international funds made him feel sick, he could even see himself falling into coma. "Yes. Get married to the woman I choose and everything will be yours again," Harriet resumed stroking her cat. "I will think about it. But please grandma don't go freezing my credit cards unless you plan on losing your gr
Martin returned to inform Harriet of his decision to marry the girl she had chosen for him. As he walked in, Gerald was sitting at Harriet's feet, massaging her foot. Sometimes, he wondered what waves it would create if he someday made a video of him acting fillia and spread it online. It would leave the whole country and the whole of Asia shocked. The personality of Gerald was such that no one would imagine him helping anyone. Popularly known as the god of the business world in Asia, after winning awards for seven consecutive years. He is the king of the Laverock group, ruthless, arrogant and domineering. There was no good adjective they could use to describe his personality, but in looks, he beat even the Hollywood stars and idols. Martin was jealous of him for many reasons and one of them was how people compared them every time. Gerald noticed his arrival but didn't raise his head to look at him. It was his habit to ignore everyone in his family except his grandmother.
By the time he was satisfied and was ready to leave, Gerald found Barry and inquired about Ali. Barry was stunned that he had come back for Ali and was hesitant to explain the situation that brought the girl there. One, he feared for his life. Gerald wouldn't spare him if he were to find out that he had given him a random woman for the night. He had to tell a lie to divert Gerald's attention from the woman. However, to his horror, Gerald asked him to find the girl. Meanwhile, the person responsible for Gerald's restlessness was busy scheming on how to punish her marketing director for what he did to her. Another message was sent to her to arrive at the company early, so they could revise the presentation before it is submitted to the CEO. Ali had something else in mind. She will definitely go to the company today but not to submit any presentation. She is going there to see the director embarrass himself. After telling her aunt what to tell Harriet if she dropped by, she l
Ali stood between the two approaching disaster, hoping for the ground to open and swallow her. She looked around the lobby for a place to hide but found none. Choosing to make a run to the stairs, she covered her face with her hair and along the open lobby to the stairs. However, at that moment madam Harriet caught her and called out to her. Ali didn't look back, to her turning now means death. She was beginning to regret plotting against her director. If she hadn't thought of using the woman to punish him, she wouldn't have been in this mess. "Why did she run like that? Did someone hurt her feelings?" Harriet was confused as well as angry at the thought of someone offending Ali. "Quick, run after her and see what is wrong," she instructed Martin beside her. Martin grumbled but went after Ali. Just then Gerald approached his grandmother and hugged her. "What are you doing here Granny? You did not inform me that you were coming," Gerald said. His height towered over her but not
