Chapter 174: Chapter 174

Susan is getting ready to go to the office, Sharon look at her.

Why are staring at me like that?

Mother, I got an information that I should come to the office with you.

Why?

I don't know, let's just go.

Susan take a step then her phone ping, she read. Watch your back, your evil scheme are right in front of you.

She turned around In fear.

Mother, is everything alright?

Sure! Sure! Let's go.

Pulling the door, yet another note, she grabbed very fast.

Mother, what is...

Sharon, let me be. Susan yelled, Sharon just kept quiet, since they return, Susan is always yelling like some barking dog, as the driving take an hour of silence, as soon as the two enter the company, everyone was murmuring, it's seems they know what only the two of them doesn't know.

Dylan, where are you?

Mandy, I am sorry, I can't make it, grandpa asked me to help him with something.

Oh shit! She end the call in anger. Who will go with me now? At first Mandy didn't see anything wrong with her going alone but since Merlin point that, she needed someone, she try to call Lauren but the man is in a meeting, so he didn't take her call. Stupid people, let me try Merlin's.

Hello Mandy!

Hi! Are you still less busy, I just get turn down by that stupid Dylan, will you accompany me?

Fine, just give me few minutes, I will be there.

Thanks, you are a life saver. The line die off, Merlin hurry out, so he could meet up with Mandy

The entire town is aware of Mandy's big announcement, how she is the long lost granddaughter of Grandpa Asher's, they keep talking about it.

Taking a few step into the conference room, everyone is busy talking, not even recognize their present.

All of you keep quiet? Didn't you recognize my present. Susan yelled but that didn't stop anything, Sharon eyes fall on the magazine.

Hey, let me see that? She grabbed from the staff, her eyes bulge out. Mandy is alive.

What did you say? Susan asked.

You heard her well, I am alive. Sharon run behind Susan in fear, she just can't believe what is going on. Susan wasn't that surprised because she knows that Mandy is alive but she never thought that going missing for few months, she will surface with her perfect self, everything will be same like nothing happened.

What are you doing here? Susan asked with bitterness, as Merlin and Mandy walked closer.

You really are not surprised, since you are aware that I am alive, let's get down to business.

What? Did you call the meeting? What gave you...

Susan, it's only right that I take what belongs to me, this company is mine.

What nonsense are you talking about? The lawyer throw Edward's will to Susan, as Mandy take a seat at the president chair, which was supposed to be occupied by Susan but now, everything had changed, her mere appearance made everyone quiet, they had meetings the previous day before informing Susan, which means they are aware of Mandy being the new president of the company.

What madness is this?

Susan, your game is up, as from this day, I am now the president of Edward's group.

Shut up! You are a daughter of a prostitute...

Maybe, I should tell Grandpa Asher that you call his daughter a prostitute.

That is what she is...

Fine, let's say you are right, between a prostitute and a murder who is more evil?

A murder? Sharon asked, pulling from Susan's back.

Didn't she tell you, that I am dead?

Yes, is because you died out of that stupid accident not because she killed you and anyways, you are here so how...

I am not talking about myself,I am talking about dad, Susan your mother murdered dad.

What? Dad is dead? Mandy closed her eyes, as Sharon yelled.

Yes, he died because of...

No way, he didn't die because of me, he die because he was trying to save you, his love for you kill him not me, I sold him there because he was going to Will the company to you...

Wait! What did you say? You sold dad?

Yes, she sold him into slavery and she did same thing to me same time not after hypnotizing me, making my face disfigured, I met dad there, he is sold as a slave, he live his last part of his life as a slave, everything he did was for us, he wanted peace for the family but you ruin everything, the very people you sold him to killed him.

Sharon tears flow, as Mandy keep saying all the things that happened to their dad, she wasn't expecting Susan to do this, she was thinking, Edward traveled, that he will be back but then, the truth is, he is never coming back.

Mother! Tell me, she is lying.

I am sorry but it's the truth...

Mandy keep quiet, I want to hear it from her mouth.

Sharon...

Don't take my name, just asked me.

I am sorry, I did it all for you and you think I am bad because your dad lost his life on the line.

No, you did it for yourself, I was never interested in the company, so you would had let sleeping dog lie. Sharon cry, she just found out the news of her father's death, Susan go closer to her, she pushed her from herself. Where did you bury my dad?

Mandy too is dying to know what happened to the dead body of Edward.

Go on and answer me.

I throw him into the lagoon. Mandy heart skip, she was falling to the floor, Merlin hold her fast, she fall on Merlin's shoulder, Sharon couldn't take it anymore, she slapped her hand across Susan's face.

Are you really my mother? You are the most wicked fellow, I have ever come across, for years I thought dad was the bad one, not knowing you are the devil herself.

Sharon I am...

I don't want you to take my name anymore from your mouth, from now on, I don't have family, I don't have a mother.

Sharon!

Cops! Someone should call the cops. Sharon yelled, The cops walked in, Mandy wasn't expecting that Sharon could turn her back on her mother but the young lady wanted justice for her dad and that is what she will get.

The cops dragged Susan away, Sharon cried, Mandy felt sorry for her, she find out the death of their father now and her mother might end up in jail.

Sharon...

Don't take my name, it's all your fault, if you didn't get involved in that accident, dad will never had met you and he would had think of returning not risk his life for you. I keep telling you, you are the worse nightmare of the family, you are always bringing trouble to us, you would had died not dad.

Mandy close her eyes, the pain in her heart was much, as she watch Sharon exit the building, after the introduction of Mandy has the new president of the company, Merlin plead that the meeting should be adjourned, since Mandy wasn't herself anymore.

The drive home was silent, she was having a silent tears thinking of all the things, Sharon said to her.

Hey stop crying, you shouldn't take Sharon's words to heart.

Don't worry about me, thanks for being there with me. She peck his cheek then alight from his car, she walked slowly into the building.

The peck is enough for Merlin, at least, she see him as a friend.
