Chapter 7

Dennis and Terry rushed to Kyle to help him out of the car. "Son. Did you have an accident on your way to Mr. Raymond's house? Talk to me." "what happened" Dennis quickly greeted Mr. Raymond. "Welcome to our house, Mr. Raymond; my father is waiting for you inside." Raymond had tightly pressed lips; his face was deadly. "You think you can make a fool of me? I'm going to deal with you today just as I did with your son." With a furrowed eyebrow look on Dennis face, he couldn't do anything to Mr. Raymond. He knew his family was in a big mess, and he didn't want to add to it. "What happened, Mr. Raymond? Did my son offend you? Please forgive him; he's only a child." Dennis speaks politely to Mr. Raymond. "Oh, you want to pretend you didn't know what your family did." "No, please, we didn't do anything, please what happened." Dennis was still in the dark; he wasn't aware Mr. Raymond's company had lost their contracts with Globex Corporation. Raymond grabbed Dennis shirt as he voiced out his anger. "Who did your family offend? You better start talking." "No, no, Mr. Raymond, we didn't offend anyone; we are just as surprised as you." Dennis couldn't get his head around why Mr. Raymond was acting in this manner; if he didn't want to help, he should just say so. "Your family made Globex Corporation cancel my multi-million dollar contract I have with them; why did you approach me when you were warned?" Raymond was still holding onto Dennis. "The Bernard family must pay me back what I have lost." Terry knows what Raymond is capable of doing; his family is number one on the second-tier list of Blue Isno, and he has wide connections. He quickly ran inside the house to call his father. "Mr. Raymond, please come inside and let's find a solution to this amicably." Sir Bernard speaks to Raymond very politely. Raymond with flared nostrils "If not for the fact you're old, I would have smacked your face already." with a deadly look on his face. "I'm not here to have any discussion with you; tell me when I'm getting back the money you made me lose." Sir Bernard couldn't help but ask; he knows how wild Raymond could be when he's angry. "How much is it, Mr. Raymond?" "The contract that was terminated is worth 200 million dollars, and you must provide it now." At that moment, Raymond took out his phone, called his underground thugs under the Raymond family. Sir Bernard knows this is bad news already. The Bernard family is ranked buttom in the second tier list, and if not for Megan's smartness in winning contract, which all the top families in Blue Isno adores, they would be inside the pit. The biggest contract Megan won was the interior design of the Sky High Hotel, which boosted the Bernard family's reputation, and Globex Corporation decided to offer them more contracts. "Please, Mr. Raymond We don't have such amounts of money, and our contracts were also terminated. please give–" "And so, I don't care." Damien has already returned from where he went. He was just standing by the corner, enjoying the scene. Mr. Raymond looks around as he points at Megan. "She will be coming with me; she is now my wife; I will be coming back for my balance; and if you can't provide me the balance, I will be Claiming this house." Mr. Raymond smiles; he finally got what he wanted, although it came with a cost, which Megan could fill immediately. he continue "If Megan can satisfy me and be a good wife, I might just give you more time to payback." Lady Helen raised her eyebrows as she moved Megan forward. "Mr. Raymond, don't worry about that; she will definitely be a good wife. I promise you that. You can even take her home today if you want." with a relieved look on her face. Please, Mr. Raymond, give us a discount; we cannot afford that money any time soon." Raymond was already holding Megan's hands. Damien wanted to intervene. He knows Megan didn't deserve the treatment she was getting; he now knows someone set her up. and how everyone wants to take advantage of her weakness. Damien steps onto the scene. Megan voiced out "Will you get your hands off me? , I will never get married to you." Everyone was shocked; no one expected Megan to have a say at this important moment. She moved away from Mr. Raymond. "You must be sick for you to think I would accept you as my husband." Raymond couldn't stand Megan anymore; he wanted to hit her when Damien hold his hands with a cold look on his face. "Who the hell are you to think you can lay your fetid hands on my wife?" Damien was surprised Megan was able to speak out this time. with an angry look on Mr. Raymond's face. "you bastard!! How dare you hold my hand? Do you want to die?" Damien also put on a deadly look on his face. He thought of a plan to deal with this madman. "I hold your hand because she is a woman and my wife; it's not right to hit a woman; let's settle this as men." Raymond with a curled-up nose "bastard!! I'm going to teach you and this woman a lesson you won't forget in a hurry." Damien doesn't want to fight him here, so he quickly speaks out. "Don't get too worked up, Mr. Raymond. My wife will negotiate your contract renewal with Globex Corporation." Mr. Raymond couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Ha ha ha, don't get ahead of yourself; do you think everyone is allowed to walk into Globex Corporation just like that and start negotiating contracts, you fool?" He faces Megan with a disgusting look on his face. "So this fool is your husband; now I know you're just as worthless as him. If you think you can go negotiate my contract with Globex Corporation, Damien couldn't stand the insult anymore with narrowed eyes. "How about we make a bet? If she returns your contract to you, you are going to apologize to my wife and pay her the sum of 10 million dollars as an apology." Mr. Raymond couldn't help but smile. "What if she fails? What will be your punishment?" "We will pay you twice the amount of the contract; how about that?" Raymond was just staring with completely wide eyes. "You have a deal; I will be here next week for my money." Damien quickly utters: No, next week is just too far. Come here tomorrow afternoon so you can apologize to her." Mr. Raymond couldn't hold it any longer. He burst into laughter; he was running out of his mind. "I can see you clearly want to die; okay, I agree with your bet. tomorrow. Make sure my 400 million dollars are ready; I'm taking everything from this family." He enters his car with a bright smile, like a man who just won a mega lottery ticket.
