THE BILLIONAIRE'S VENGEFUL WIFE RETURNS-Chapter 39: MOCKERY 2
Chapter 39: MOCKERY 2
It’s a good thing they were all underestimating her because now when she strikes back, they’ll never see it coming.
"I’ve never seen such a girl with the worst attitude. That is why my Alanis will always pick Claudia over her." Garth stated proudly.
"You kicked her out?" Elisa asked as if shocked when she knew the truth. Harlow shook her head at them, both women were not worth her time, and all she wanted to do was leave this place.
"Alanis will never love you, Harlow, stop thinking of going back to him. Our family will never accept you back, not after everything you did." Garth said.
"I’m..."
"We found something, madam." A servant said, interrupting her words. In his hands was the box of unfinished jewels Harlow had decided to take with her for work. It was their company’s new products, the one she was creating for the upcoming jewel auction.
If everything goes according to plan, it would be their highest sale. Because top businessmen in the country would be there since the auction was sponsored by her father himself. That is why she had smiled when George Hamilton had invited her for the auction.
"That’s the sample of our new jewelry I’m preparing for the auction leave it alone. No one can see it yet until it’s finished." Elisa turned a deaf ear to the girl and opened the box. Garth who was sitting next to her gasped.
"Wow, Harlow made this." She couldn’t hide her shock.
"You wish, she stole all of these ideas from Claudia. Harlow cannot make any jewel, all she does is steal people’s ideas." Elisa exclaimed.
"You’re not leaving this mansion with our company’s properties Harlow, I’ll give them to your father." Harlow smiled at her stepmother’s action. She knew all too well what she was about to do. Give the jewel to Claudia to copy and then take the glory for it, as she did in her past life.
Everything she worked so hard for, was stolen by her sister. Including everything she did for Alanis and the Hamiltons.
"Alright, stepmother, you can keep it," Harlow said with a smile. You can copy the original, but you can never be better than the original. These jewel ideas are now outdated for her, she was thinking of not using them anymore since their competitors made similar jewels not too long ago.
If they release products like this, their company will be labeled as fraud. They would be accused of stealing. Harlow laughed at her already victory.
Elisa stared at the girl, wondering why she was smiling. Seeing Harlow smile always angered her, no matter how hard her situation was, she always smiled. It makes Elisa want to break her so badly, she wants to see her cry and suffer so much.
"We found another box, ma’am." Another male servant’s said and for a moment Harlow stopped breathing. If the content in that box gets out, she would be doomed for life. She crossed her fingers, "What is in there." Elisa’s face lit up, thinking it would be more jewels, oh how the stars had shown on her daughter.
Claudia would become Franks’s favorite daughter and everything he owns, all of Harlow’s inheritance will be given to her. She couldn’t have hoped for a better future for her daughter.
"It’s just paperwork." The servant said and Elisa waved it off. Only then did Harlow breathe. She forgot her mother and sister are dummies. They hated anything regarding papers and books but wanted all the good life associated with those who took those items seriously.
The servants walked away after scattering all of her things. "Where are you all going to, arrange what you scattered," Harlow yelled at them but they didn’t respond to her and just kept walking away.
"You’re no longer a member of this family Harlow and not a reputable name in the society. You’re just a girl loving off her father’s name, why would my servants listen to you." Elisa said, Garth, chuckling with her.
"I am nothing less than you." Harlow started. "No matter how much you try, you will never be accepted as Mrs Blackwood. You’re just a leach who’s leaching off father’s money like you did to your past victims. God knows where you got that bastard daughter of yours from, she’s not even close to being a Blackwood." Harlow said nonchalantly.
"Harlow Blackwood." Elisa got up, her eyes were filled with rage.
"What? Did I hit a nerve?" Harlow smiled. Her big mouth would really be the end of her. No matter how badly she tries to control it, she just cannot. She should really learn how not to talk back and to ignore things, but she will never do that.
She did it in her last life and didn’t live up to 30...
"You should be lucky I accepted you as my mother when father asked. Without me, you and your bastard child would have been kicked out of the mansion long ago." Elisa moved to stand before Harlow, barely able to contain her anger.
"Say those words again." Her voice had turned darker than usual.
"Which part? The one where I said you’re nothing in the society without the Blackwood’s name either. Nobody knows or wants to be associated with you." She lifted her hands to hit Harlow when a larger handheld it.
Elisa stared at those cold black eyes and stepped back a bit. Her anger still bubbled but she tried to control herself.
"A... Alanis what are you doing here?" Garth asked her stepson, she had not imagined he would be here.
Alanis had only arrived to pick up his grandmother and also see Harlow, but when he arrived, he had seen a maid with her. Grandma Hamilton insisted that her son thank Harlow personally before she would leave with him and he had no other choice only to be greeted by the scene before him.
Alanis gritted his teeth, his eyes darkened more. This is the same treatment they had given his wife in his past life. In the same way, they tortured her till they eventually killed her.
"How dare you touch my wife?" He asked Elisa whose lips trembled slightly.
