I Hope You Will Never Regret

Chapter 274 Severance Package



After Xavier and Avery left the Martins mansion, Mr Martins and his wife, Elizabeth, were sitting in the living room with their helpers.

He looked at them and said, “I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your hard work for the past two decades.

Unfortunately, I will no longer be your employer. Mrs Martins and I have signed the divorce papers.

You can stay here and work under Mrs Martins or you can go to His Goodness Resort to work as housekeepers. Please let me know your decision before I leave.”

One of the helpers stood up and replied, “Mr Martins, we don’t have enough words to thank you for everything you have done for us. May the Lord richly bless you.

When Miss Parker told us that she would be our new employer, we came to a decision that we didn’t want to work under her. Then we started packing our luggage.

Since we are no longer young, and we don’t have families, we have decided to resign and take this time to travel around the world. When we come back, we will buy a small house for ourselves.”

Mrs Martins scoffed when she heard the helper’s words. She was rejoicing in her heart that finally they were leaving her house. Unbeknownst to her, she would struggle to find loyal helpers in the future.

Mr Martins took the envelope from the table, then he opened it. Sitting quietly in the envelope were five sets of keys. He smiled at them and said, “This is a token of appreciation for your hard work over the years.

I have prepared five townhouses for you in one of the suburbs. The townhouses are fully furnished, and the rates are not high. You will be able to afford it. Also, I have prepared the severance packages for you.”

Then he handed the set of keys to them and the bank cards. The helpers couldn’t believe their ears. Tears of joy streamed down their faces.

An hour later, Mr Martins asked his bodyguards to take the helpers to their townhouses. The townhouses were situated in a quiet neighbourhood and the security was tight.

At the Taylor family mansion, Xavier told the elders that his father-in-law was divorced. Aunt Caia was over the moon. She took Avery’s hand and asked, “How is your father, Avery?”

Avery smiled brightly and replied, “He is alright, Aunt Caia. My parents’ divorce was long overdue. I am just praying for my father to find a good wife in the future.”

Aunt Caia smiled, but she didn’t utter a word. Her heart was beating uncontrollably against her chest. She couldn’t wait to confess her love to the handsome August Martins, her future husband and the father of her children.”

Then Avery walked to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law with cooking. She took over the cooking. Her mother-in-law stayed in the kitchen to keep her company. Avery told her about her parents’ divorce.

Her mother-in-law was happy for August to finally divorce the ill-mannered Elizabeth. She looked at her daughter-in-law and asked, “How is your father, my sweet Avery?”

Avery smiled and replied, “He is alright, Mom. My brother tried to stop Aunt Elizabeth from divorcing my father to no avail.

I nearly forgot to tell you, Mom. Aunt Elizabeth gave me back her betrothal gifts. She indicated that she was not a beggar.”

Her mother-in-law shook her head and said, “I don’t understand Elizabeth’s hatred towards you. One day your mother will regret every bad thing she has done to you. Tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone, my daughter.”

Avery shook her head and replied, “I don’t think so, Mom. As long as Lily is at her side she will never regret it. Lily is her everything. I am so grateful to the Lord for blessing me with you, Mom. I am surrounded by people who love me.”

After lunch, Avery looked at Aunt Caia smiling and said, “Aunt Caia, do you mind accompanying me to my father’s new mansion? I promised him that I would decorate the mansion as a gift for him.”

Aunt Caia smiled brightly and replied, “I love to, my dearest Avery.” Then she went to her bedroom to freshen up and change her clothes.

A few minutes later, she headed to the living room with her Hermes handbag. She smiled at her big sister, then she followed her nephew and her niece-in-law to the car.

It took them ten minutes to arrive at the mansion’s gate. Avery took the gate remote from her handbag and opened the gate. It took them another ten minutes to reach the mansion.

The mansion was nestled along the Indian Ocean, and it was the epitome of prestige and architectural excellence. Xavier parked the car in the driveway, and then Avery handed the set of keys to him.

When Xavier opened the door, they were greeted by large windows that flooded the interior with natural light, creating a bright and airy ambiance throughout the home.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Avery took the floor plan from her designer handbag and handed it to Aunt Caia and said, “Aunt Caia, would you be so kind as to help me decorate this mansion?”

Aunt Caia was overjoyed and replied, “I would love to, Avery. The mansion is huge and stunning.”

On the ground floor, they were greeted by two spacious living rooms and two dining rooms. They were attracted by the spacious kitchen, a walk-in pantry cabinet, and a laundry room.

Then they took a lift to the first floor. There were four en-suite bedrooms with walked-in closets and private balconies facing amazing views.

On the second floor, there were four en-suite bedrooms with walked-in closets and private balconies.

On the third floor, there was a master bedroom, and it had a private balcony with stunning sea views. There was a hidden walk-in closet. Also, it had changing rooms for the couple.

On the same floor, there was also a spacious study room, a prayer room, a cinema, and a gym room.

Aunt Caia was mesmerized by the beauty of the mansion and said, “Avery, please leave everything to me. I will ask my best friend, Tammy, to help me decorate this breathtaking mansion.”

Avery smiled and thanked her. Then she gave her the black card and said, “My father will move in before my engagement banquet.” Aunt Caia nodded her head, then she took her phone and dialed her best friend’s number.

When it was connected, she said, “Hello Tammy, how are you?” Tammy smiled brightly when she heard her best friend’s voice and replied, “Hello Caia, I am well, thank you. How are you doing?”

Caia smiled brightly and said, “Tammy, I am well. Thank you. I need your expertise, my friend. Is it possible to come to Durban as soon as possible?”

Tammy smiled and replied, “You are lucky, Caia. I don’t have any commitments at the moment. Are you buying a house in Durban, or have you met your soulmate?”

Caia laughed out loud and replied, “None of the above, Tammy. I am helping a friend. Please book your flight and let me know when you arrive.”

Tammy promised that she would take the first flight from OR Tambo International Airport the following day. Then they hung up the phone. A few minutes later, Xavier and the others left the mansion and went home to rest.
