“Mom, get dressed quickly. I’m taking you to see someone distinguished!” After railing at her father, Yuliana lit up a cigarette and sat down impatiently to wait.
Winnie was briefly stunned before she hurried off to do as she was told. For her daughter to refer to someone as distinguished, Winnie was certain that person was really important. Hence, she had to make sure she wouldn’t embarrass the former.
Throughout the entire episode, Grant was frowning as there was nowhere to vent his frustration. The reason was that his attempts to pay off his debts had caused Yuliana to lose her rich boyfriend. In the end, she couldn’t even find a job and had to leave the country in search of better prospects.
All these years, Grant rarely interacted with his daughter. At most, he would get to chat a little when the latter was on the phone with Winnie. A short while later, Winnie emerged from her room looking rather presentable.
Yuliana threw her a quick glance, and upon approving of how Winnie looked, she led her mother downstairs and got into a Mercedes- Benz. The sight of the luxury car shocked Winnie, who knew it cost seven to eight hundred thousand.
“Yuliana, have you struck it rich?” The moment she entered the car, Winnie couldn’t help running her fingers across its opulent interior.
Yuliana pondered a moment before replying, “I met a rich man in Gerton. Although he’s a little old, he likes me a lot and is willing to splurge on me.”
“Age isn’t important. Wealth is what matters in this era.” The excitement within Winnie was stirred. With nothing further to add, Yuliana drove both of them to a five-star hotel. Upon entering the room, she took a shower and changed into a relatively sexy outfit.
“Mom, listen up. Mr. Ramos will arrive later to talk to you about our wedding. Remember to put on some airs and demand a dowry of at least ten million and two houses. A year and a half after our wedding, I’ll start causing problems to get him to divorce me. As for the money, you have to keep it safe on my behalf.”
If not for Roxanne’s success, Yuliana would have been satisfied with what she had. A tycoon from Gerton was rich enough to give her a life of luxury forever.
However, when she was being outdone by Roxanne, whom she used to trample upon, she felt the need to use the rich tycoon as a stepping stone to help her achieve her ambition. Overwhelmed with elation upon hearing the instructions, Winnie railed at Grant out of the blue. “You and Dad got divorced?” Yuliana was infuriated upon learning the truth.
“Yes, we did. Isn’t it great? There’s no need for you to care about him anymore. Going forward, both of us and your brother will be one family. After all, Grant is nothing but a fool!” Winnie was filled with a sense of release as she no longer needed to depend on Grant.
“Fine. Divorce seems to be for the best. I never wanted someone like that for a father anyway. He’s nothing but a piece of trash!” Yuliana sneered with narrowed eyes, for she had hated. Grant for a very long time. I didn’t expect him to ingratiate himself with Roxanne. Has he forgotten how badly he treated Roxanne’s mother back then?
Thereafter, mother and daughter continued scheming as they waited patiently for David Ramos, the tycoon from Gerton. Meanwhile, Grant received a call from Jonas who wanted to meet up.
Grant hurried to a Chanaean restaurant to see the latter and reported his interaction with Roxanne and Lucian in detail.
An insidious glint flashed across Jonas’ eyes as spoke. “Good. You did well. Considering how broke you have been recently, here’s a million. As for your creditors, don’t give them anything anymore. Also, get yourself freshened up to improve your image. If anyone asks about the money, just tell them someone has given you a break by investing in you.”
