★★★★★ "Miss Hastings, I hope you have not faced any hassle reaching here," Hardin said with a polite smile to Clover. "Being his assistant must be hard, no matter how well he paid!" Clover said, returning the smile. "Is that because I am in his house at this godly hour?" Hardin asked, not getting offended as the smile did not leave his lips. "No, seeing your boss's sincerity for the deal for which he chose to meet me instead of closing his eyes at this 'Godly' hour, I tried to feel your thoughts," Clover pressed on Godly. Standing behind her, Jemma looked down and smiled, but she did not let her voice crack. She believed the assistant was sensible and mature enough to understand what Clover actually meant. "Thank you for these kind words," Hardin replied, then moved to a side, showing off where Clover should head. If his boss were not impatient to meet Miss Hastings, he would probably enjoy another moment to talk to her. 'since a woman being this sarcastic is rare.' Hardin thoug
★★★★★ "They are going to come back for you with full force," Jemma said as she settled in the passenger seat. Then she looked behind at the back seat, adding, "Especially your stepmother. The humiliation she went through was like losing a prize in a competition, and she will not sit back and accept her defeat." "I did what the situation demanded, and I am not worrying about the consequences," Clover said, leaning on the seat and closing her eyes. "What about Hudson?" Jemma continued her chatter, since, other than guns, the thing she liked most was gossip. "Your sister's fiancé had not let go a moment of staring at you. If possible, he could gobble you up." "I did not know you had taken a liking to him," Clover said in response without opening her eyes. "Argh! No. He is not my type," Jemma spat, "Besides, he is into Hastings' daughters." A chuckle escaped from her lips. Clover could not help but open her eyes before rolling them. If Jemma were not an assassin, he would have made u
★★★★ "Clove," Cindy rushed to Clover and grabbed her hand, pleading, "You are getting angry without any strong reason and taking such a big step. Sending us to jail will not just end the matter, but the insult that will follow will befall us. Think a little about our image in society." "Without any reason? Ever since I stepped into this house, you guys have been looking for every small reason to trash my image. Not only that, you even called the guards to throw my friend out," Clover said, jerking her hand away from Cindy. "Clover, we will be finished if your father goes to jail," Zona spat, her eyes clouded with tears. The arrogance was no longer striking on her face; rather, she felt fear, fear of being looked down on in society. Not only that, she was concerned about the treatment her daughter would get in the Hudson family after this scandal. "You should have thought it before coming after me," Clover said coldly. There was no trace of the timid woman she once was-only st
★★★★★ "So what's the delay, the cops are standing outside. Jemma, call them inside because I don't want my family to take the hassle for me," Clover said with sharp eyes at Gordon. Then she glanced at Jemma, who, understanding the glance, turned on the phone and dialled someone. Instantly a bunch of cops entered the house with the reporters. Zona stared at Clover with confused eyes before her head shifted behind her when the commotion felt real. She found the cops were standing at the door. They were so quick as if they were truly standing outside all this while. "And what those reporters are doing with the cops!" She was quite baffled. She returned her eyes to Clover, asking, "Do you mind explaining what all these are now?" "Do I have to tell this? Wasn't Dad earlier told me that he could send me to prison because I upset people? So here they are!" Clover said to Zona, her lips curled upwards. "Sis, you are scaring me. This is my engagement party and I hardly imagined having co
★★★★Zona took a deep breath before adding, "Clover, what is it?""Can't you hear everyone whispering? Everyone here knows this is the Queen's diamond. It's worth a million," Clover replied with a haughty tone as she folded her hands over her chest."We also know what this thing is and what its value is. We want to know how you got this precious diamond?" Zona asked, raising her brows. The more people talked about it, the angrier she got, because Clover would never have the means to keep such a valuable item.She was certain this was a ploy by Clover to humiliate her at her party."What do you mean? How did I get this?" Clove raised her brows, "Why do you feel so surprised that I have such a thing?""Because... you.." Zona was about to snap when Cindy's gentle voice interrupted, "Sis, Mom is a little confused because you went somewhere without telling us. We tried, but we haven't found you, nor did you get any financial help. If this thing is so expensive, then you must have put in a
★★★★★ When the armed men arrived, Cindy's mother raised her chin, a little proud and mostly arrogant. This entire situation not only brought the flashlight on them, but tomorrow all the newspaper agencies would flood their newspaper with their names. Some were going to throw shit, and some would praise their new bond with Hudson. Whatever it was, they would still be in the newspaper for a few days, which meant a lot to Cindy's mother. "Get this woman out of this house and make sure she's never seen around again," Zona, Cindy's mother, said, narrowing her eyes at Clover, though her words were meant for Jemma, who stood in place, unperturbed. Not once did Jemma look at Clover for help or plead with Zona or Clover's father, Gordon. As soon as one of the guards stretched his hand to grab Jemma, it landed in the air because he did not realise how the woman had moved from her place so invisibly. It could be seen that Jemma had moved from her place, but no one realised when and how. "Yo
