“You and Stefan are getting married next week?” She questioned with a sad expression as Ava nodded her head. “congratulations… It’s actually a good thing that you found someone that loves you and can tolerate your character”.

Raven rolled her eyes at her happily, trying to hide the sad part in her in order to confuse Ava who probably thought that she would cry and tried to question her at the mention of such words. “What do you mean? What is there about my character that you’re talking about?” Ava needed to know what she meant because he felt so Hurt and weak in the body immediately Ava uttered Such words to her.

“I’m really sorry if my words seem confusing to you but I was only trying to congratulate you. I wish you guys all the best in the marriage”. Ava suddenly starts feeling so guilty over her acts but has to comfort herself. She has done absolutely nothing wrong by giving her their invitation card. “Thank you raven. I just hope you will come. I will be expecting you”. Raven took her bag and headed out of the restaurant. “Please drive me home”. She shrugged at her driver who later started the ignition and drove away. The moment she got home, she Later informed her relatives about Stefan’s marriage and how her outing went with Ava. “Gosh she’s just so mean. How could she invite you to that show, just for her to give you the invitation card of the marriage”. Katherine confronted her and told her to be strong.

Jenny Maxwell was finally strong and healthy so she decided to pay Stefan a visit in the company. She treated the staff and co_workers like trash the moment they didn’t greet her properly until she decided to introduce herself to them. “Is this really how you’all have been trained? Were you trained never to welcome Stefan’s cousin properly? She bellowed at them as they all bowed down to greet her again even though they do thatin the first place but she wasn’t satisfied with it because she feels so high of herself.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Not like that. When you’re greetings Me, you ought to say “Welcome to the Maxwell group company ma’am Jenny Kendrick or do you want me to sack all of you”. They all quickly kneel down with their legs, touching the ground on realizing who she was and what she was capable of. “We’re very sorry ma’am, please forgive us. We weren’t aware of your identity”. At that moment, Stefan came to witness the event of Jenny, her cousin who was trying to control his co_workers when she didn’t have such a right. “What do you think you’re doing Jenny?” She heard the familiar voice and turned to look at him.

“Well, I’m just trying to teach them how to be respectful since they forget their manners. How are you doing brother? You look healthy though so no need of asking”.

Jenny uttered such words to him and gave him a feign smile which didn’t come from her heart but sadly Stefan had already known the type of person she was so her acting didn’t really move him. “What’s the problem? I hope everything is alright”.

Stefan shrugged at her, trying to understand the reason why she had suddenly visited him but Jenny’s fake smile says it all.

“can’t I visit you again brother? I thought I should come and visit you in your company and thank you for what you did for me one more time. Why don’t we go to your office and talk things out? I don’t want the ears of those brainless human beings hearing our conversation”. Stefan decided not to answer her. Maybe he could be in her office.

Stefan offered her a seat and sat down as well. “Why were you acting like a God back then! Those people are my stuff and you gotta treat them like a human being whenever you come and visit me, apart from that, you must not visit me in the company okay. What happened to the house…..!!!

“I doubt if you ever have a house on your own for me to come and visit you. The only thing you have in this world is just this company which I will be claiming from you very soon since you’re always feeling like a king and all that”. Jenny interrupted him and let out such unpleasant words to him which made him furious.

“Mind the way you talk to me Jenny. We might be related by blood but that doesn’t mean I will go easy on you if you ever Crossed the line you shouldn’t cross”.

Stefan threatened her by whispering Such words to her ears and that made her laugh. “But that’s the sad truth. You and I know that don’t we? The only property you have right now is this company which you inherited from grandfather. Go and check how successful Kendrick’s other grandchildren are becoming and did they inherit their wealth and company from grandfather? No, they work hard and build those companies by themselves which is the reason why I’m reminding you to be careful. Someone can come all of a sudden and claim this company from your hands with just a document”.

Stefan’s blood boiled so hard as he felt insulted by her words. “Can you leave my office now? I think I have had enough of your statement”. Stefan felt like punching her mouth and having Lisa kick her away but he’s just leaving her because she was his cousin and Kendrick might get angry if he finds out. “I’m really sorry if I’m sounding rude right now but that’s the truth which will sound bitter in your mouth”.

“Bragging about wealth and fame, how much of this have you gotten? I have no idea of who you were when I was living with the Black family back then. The only name which was ringing back then was the name of grandpa”. Jenny fist her hands in anger as she gives him a dangerous gaze. She was stunned and Angry that Stefan was the only one who could challenge her. He was actually the only one who doesn’t get scared of her and that’s the reason why she needs to let him know of the reason why she was Kendrick’s favorite granddaughter in the midst of them all.

“I was only giving you some lectures about Life which you need to jot down in your head because everything isn’t about inheriting things from your grandfather but instead, you need to work hard for it. Keep everything I said to you in mind and be aware that I will be present that day, on your wedding day. Take good care of yourself, cousin”. Jenny uttered to him and made herself out of the office.

STEFAN

I have never done this. I didn’t know what left me but I feel like something was plugged out of my body the moment she walks away. Her words really affected me negatively and got me pondering what I can do . Gosh, I just can’t believe that she could be this rude and nasty. I didn’t know what happened but throughout my Day in work, my mood was shattered as I could hardly concentrate with lots of things on my mind. I got home and I was surprised to see that Ava was already home. She was even preparing something in the kitchen the moment I entered the house because the aroma of her food did welcome me in. “Hi hubby, Welcome back from work”. Seems like she spotted me because she was currently approaching me right now.

“Do you know Jenny? I decided to ask her about my cousin since I was worried that she must have introduced herself to her and try to spoil me for her in order for the marriage not to work. “no. I don’t think I know anyone like her. What’s the problem?” I was glad she didn’t know her and I could only confront her about it. “It’s nothing serious.. it’s just that Jenny isn’t someone you should make friends with, wherever you come across with her “. She smiled at me, telling me that she understood my concern and to pull off the shoes from my leg and take my bag to the Room. I think she’s just the best wife I will ever get. I went to my room with her as she excitedly turned to look at me. “I have started to invite people for the wedding when I happen to bump into Raven and I gave her our invitation card”. My eyes widened the moment she spoke Such words.
