Sitting down in my room, I could recur everything that has been happening in the Black family. They’re now in a devastated situation and they’re looking for a solution.
One of the shareholders received information that the Maxwell family, which is my family, is now targeting the Black’s family. How cruel is that?
And I guess the Maxwell family company is very powerful in this country. They’re the most powerful and popular country in the state and Nobody can compete with them but right now it seems like the Black’s family are competing with them.
Because the shareholders from the Black family company were very negative when they heard the news and that’s because none of the companies that had offended the Maxwell family could survive. And that has been told by people.
And Alexander said that they all gave up on the shareholder conference on hearing that the Maxwell family was competing against the Black family. If not for the news which they’ve Heard, they could have helped the Black family business again but they all ran away when it’s just a few billions left for them to be stable again.
I guess they know that helping the Black family business would be a waste of time and money. So that’s why they decided to back down on time.
And I could remember Alexander Black asking his sons and daughters to help the Black family with little they could but none of them were able to assist. And to even make matters worse, Raven’s parents, uncles and aunts were busy humiliating each other unnecessarily. And I do wonder how they’re going to get out of such a position.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
And of course when I got back to the sitting room, they were still having such an argument.
” mother you all should stop embarrassing each other, you should all stop this argument and think of a way we could save this family once again “. She had said as everybody including her grandfather all calmed down.
“You seem to have an idea Raven, what is it?” Alexander Black had asked on seeing her countenance.
“I know someone who could be of help to us!!” His name is Derek. He asked as everybody all gasped in shock and surprised.” Could Derek be her sugar daddy? Her mother Said as she scoffed. Almost choked out of her thoughts.
“No Mother, he’s not and besides Derek is a young man”.
“I’m really shocked though, how do you know about Derek? Alexander Black asks her as I Scoff. I’m sure they will all be in shock if I told them that I Also know the Derek they’re talking about but I think they wouldn’t believe me and probably think that’s another way of me trying to pull their attention.
“Well!!!, Actually….! She uttered, screeching her head as she turned her gaze at me. I can see that she’s finding what to say to them because I know that she just can’t tell them that Derek was her crush and for that she’s going to ask him for help.
“Derek was a senior on my campus back then in high school, and most especially, he was the hottest boy in school “. So I’m going to request some help from him, I’m sure that he would be able to help us”. She uttered as happy countenance escaped Alexander Black lips.
I’m sure he must have been so happy to hear that from her. Raven’s parents were all jealous as she said Such thing.
“If you like him, why don’t you ask him for a date?” His father uttered as he bit his lips.” That isn’t how it’s done, I wondered why you’re giving your daughter such suggestions”. Her mother uttered, scolding at her father.
I would have really helped them though if I could but I don’t think so. I don’t think I can help them in any way right now because I’ve told Derek to stop disturbing me and I hope he won’t bother to call me again.
I thought, as I watched their ongoing Scene from where I was sitting, I didn’t really want to reply in their conversation. I know none of them will believe me if I tell them that I know Derek and he can help their business from crashing down but that’s unnecessary anyway. There’s no need for me to do that because I know that they wouldn’t appreciate any of my help.
I can see the happy gaze on Alexander face for a while. So he’s believing that the person she’s going to contact will be of help to them? I don’t really think Derek would be able to help them.
So they’re just putting their hope on Raven by praising her over her decision to go ask Derek for help.
“Thank you for your cooperation Raven, I will go to my room now”. I really felt so bad for Alexander. The rest of them all walk away, leaving her parents. shit it’s better I leave before they will notice me as well.
Just as I was about to turn back, they called me. “Stefan, my mother-in-law’s terrifying voice echoed in my ear as I turned back. What the fuck? Is she really going to mock me again? I thought as I stormily walked towards their two with a broad smile on my face.
“You have been standing there since, right? My father in-law asked as I nodded my head. “Then how come you couldn’t say anything, is that really how destitute and impoverished you are to this family? Can’t you just seem to help people in any other way.
He asked as I narrowed my gaze down. Waiting for his wife’s turn because I know that she’s going to scold me, just like her husband is doing right now.
“I’m going to divorce him from my daughter very soon. If Raven had gotten married to Jerry now, he would have saved our business from crashing down but this one, he can’t do nothing. He could only be so useless to the family.
I clenched my fist in anger as I took a deep breath thinking about what she had said. They should better learn how to think before they speak, what rubbish is all these?
