Tania Wellington and Mike Kensington were written on the invitation.I couldn’t believe my eyes.Although they’re a perfect match, I never knew Theo would allow Mike to marry his sister.“Isn’t she that bratty sister of Theo Wellington?” Bonnie snickered. “Mike sent me this invitation, thinking it would make me jealous. That crazy guy doesn’t know what he’s in for.”I shook my head.Indeed, their marriage life is going to be interesting. But if they loved each other, it might be a different story. “That’s Mike and Tania’s business…” I replied. “You’re not gonna honor the invitation, are you?”“The only reason why I’ll go there is to wreck that wedding if Mike keeps provoking me.” Bonnie rolled her eyes. “Of course, I won’t attend any event hosted by the Wellington family even if they beg me. Remember what your ex-husband did to us.”I understood.I also hope Bonnie doesn’t go there or all hell might break loose once she sets her eyes on Theo. “By the way, where’s Dave?” Bonnie looke
…A Few Days Later. Olivia’s POV. I finally came to terms with Dave’s and Grandpa’s decision after some days of being sad about it. Thinking about it now, I realized it wasn’t a bad decision. I’m always busy with work, and even in the past, I couldn’t spare much time to be with him.In the mansion, Dave will have a lot of company, and with Theo’s grandfather always keeping an eye on him, he’ll be fine.Although I can’t visit the mansion frequently for a lot of reasons. Jessica was always there to find trouble, I don’t want to bump into Theo’s mother and sister someday, and the gossipy servants might spread rumors about me…So I settled for speaking with Dave on the phone every day. Besides, I’ll soon be with him again because my Mom called from the province and told me the good news that my Dad and brother will be returning from the army soon.Grandpa won’t deny my request to take Dave with me, I’m sure. My new apartment is too big, but I’m always busy with work, so I don’t feel
Olivia’s friend had probably beaten him up again or maybe she did worse. Mike’s nose was patched up, seemingly broken, and one of his eyes was swollen and blue.Tsk!He definitely would not survive with that kind of woman as his wife.“Can you tell Dad to abort that idea?” He dragged a chair out of the desk across from me and sat down, looking scared and angry. “Since he only listens to you and thinks I’m lying because I never want to settle down, please tell him that lady is a monster. She’ll end his generation on our first night. That’s what she promised.”I shrugged and stared at the document I was going through. Now that Olivia is married to another man, I see no reason in setting Mike up again or punishing him.None of us is going to be getting Olivia anyway. “Is that all?” I asked.Mike nodded frantically, giving me an eager look. “Please do it, Buddy. I’ll forever be indebted to you. I can marry any lady but her. She would have ended my life if I hadn’t escaped through the w
“Why didn’t you inform me?” I asked.It’s no wonder Grandpa mentioned that the company was falling behind.With all this drama going on, how would the employees have the time to focus on work? And if the employees and the managers do not work harmoniously, how could they deliver good results?“I tried to, Sir,” Jake replied. “But you didn’t pick up my calls…”Well, I’d thought the assistant would only disturb me with insignificant matters. It seems the meeting I had last time with the managers and the employees was for nothing. Everyone is still doing as they please. Should I call another meeting or sack them one by one?“Organize a stakeholders’ meeting tomorrow. It’s an emergency.”“Consider it done, Sir,” Jake responded.He left the office shortly after making an excuse that he would go and get more files from the HR Department.The workload is neverending, and I’m mostly distracted by the constant phone calls from Jessica.I couldn’t switch my phone off or keep it on silent now
… Theo’s POV.Tania is too troublesome and childish.I shouldn’t have doted on her and let her have her way ever since she was little. Now she’s a fully grown woman, but still acts like a child.Her carelessness can almost cause the death of our mother. She’d protested against taking her to the hospital to receive the best treatment. Instead, she busied herself with a pointless investigation, alerting whoever the criminal might be. That aside, she was quick to jump into another trouble the moment she heard that Dave was in the house. She’d completely changed from the sweet girl she once was.Instead, she’d become too irrational and immoral, calling my son names right in front of me.Honestly, I should have supported Grandpa when he wanted to marry her off, and shouldn’t have sided with her and Mom.My phone rang and I glanced at it to find Jessica’s name flashing on the screen.Why’s she calling me?Ignoring it, I focused on driving. Yet, Jessica didn’t stop calling, and I had to
Tania lashed out, and everyone present watched in disbelief.I never expected her to be so brazen either, but she might have regretted her words the moment she finished saying them because she instantly covered her mouth and took a step back, her eyes widening.Well, Tania has just repeated the same thing Theo has warned her not to. Without a doubt, he was going to punish her.Even now, Theo looked extremely furious that his fingers trembled as he pointed at her. “I’ve indulged you too much, Tania-”“Honey, wait!” I quickly stepped between them. “Th-That’s not what she means. I’m very sure that-”“Step aside!” Theo pushed me out of the way.He grabbed Tania’s hand again and threw her to the bodyguards. “Make sure she never leaves her room until she reflects on her words. Your account will be frozen from now on, and forget about getting any more favors from me.”“No, you can’t do that!” Tania gasped. “Big Bro, that’s unfair.”“Learn to mind your business or I’ll teach you in a way you’
