Chapter 17: The tycoon has the final say

“It appears that someone was late for the train.” Anne looked at Joel, who seemed to have missed his first target, and said as much. Then she fixed her gaze on Sandra, and they both chuckled.

“Where is Lear, the Princess?” Joel went up to the table where Mark and his bodyguards were seated and asked. He kept looking around, as though he was expecting to see something unusual.

“She’s locked herself in her bedroom. What was said by her?” Anne looked at her husband and replied, while Sandra washed the dishes. Joel got up and ignored his wife’s question, heading to Lear’s room.

“Lear! Open the door.” He yelled at his daughter as he knocked. Ever since she heard her father’s voice, Lear had been waiting by her bedroom door.

“Is that you, Dad? Thank you for coming.” She screamed as she pulled open the door. Before she could get out of her bedroom, Joel rushed in. Joel checked on his little girl and saw that she was doing well. Sandra realized that her younger sister had betrayed her trust in her. Fearing what her father would do when he emerged from the Lear’s bedroom, she looked at her mother and voiced her worries.

“I knew she was going to give him the full story over the phone.” Sandra told her mother what was worrying her. Then she thought that handling Joel should be her mother’s obligation. Since Anne was the one who persuaded Sandra to invite Mark inside for dinner, this is why.

“I take entire accountability for everything that happens. He needs to be aware of the reality.” Anne related this to her scared daughter, who was afraid of her father.

“Let’s approach the door to surveil them.” After cleaning up in the kitchen, when there was still plenty of food in the pots, Anne told her daughter. They had only served Mark and his guard.

“That seems like a plan.” Leading her mother to her sister’s bedroom door so she could hear her father’s talk with Lear, Sandra answered. They could hear everything that was going on because they were standing next to the open door.

“Where are they now? You mean that you’re safe?” Joel asked, Lear, his daughter, clinging to his arms. Then, in order to speak with her, he placed her on the bed.

“You missed them; they just left a few minutes ago.” When Lear reported how she felt to her father, Sandra heard her. Joel moved to the window and peered out to observe the situation. Nothing caught his eye outside. Joel must so speak with Caesar in order to learn more about the goings-on in his home.

“By running away, they really did the right thing.” As he grabbed his phone to call Ham, he stated this.

“Please send up all of the video evidence of everything that occurred before I got around my house.” When Sandra learned that her father had called his security company, she was astounded. Her mother smiled back at her as she turned to face her. This was when the problem was discovered.

“I will speak with him prior to them sending the video to him.” She soothed her daughter as she made plans to enter Lear’s bedroom where her husband is.

“You will undoubtedly get the truth now if you need it.” As she entered the room where her spouse was, Anne said. Sandra trailed after, but she stayed close to the door.

“Exactly what are you chatting about?” Joel asked, looking up at his wife. He walked over to her and paid attention. Lear was standing behind her father, and Sandra was standing behind her mother.

“Your daughter’s life will be in danger if you get involved in this matter without first consulting her.” Anne turned to face her husband, who was waiting anxious to see the video of all that had occurred around his home.

He watched the video while his family witnessed it, which was shared with him over WhatsApp.

“Do you believe that this is what you were trying to find?” After sending the film that demonstrated how Mark approached Sandra and left her house, Ham wrote in a message. The fight would shift to Sandra’s new flat, thanks to the keys that Mark provided her. So that Joel could see what the tycoon had done for his daughter, Anne thought it would be a good idea to show him the keys of the apartment that the tycoon gave to Sandra.

“This is what he brought for his dear friend.” Mark had handed Sandra the apartment keys as a gift, and Anne showed her husband. Joel did, in fact, have an alternate viewpoint on her daughter’s potential for an affair with Mark. He viewed Sandra’s attachment to Mark as a means of bringing further income into the family.

“My daughter is now the proud owner of her own home. I’m blown away.” Joel saw Sandra’s new house key and was ecstatic. Notwithstanding the fact that the tycoon was seen entering and leaving his home with Sandra in the video recording of everything that went around his residence, he felt compelled to be kind to his daughter. He nodded his head after grinning.

“My baby, come on over here.” He pulled Sandra into his arms, giving her a hug.

“I wanted to know why this tycoon had come to this place and left my little child threatened. I regret for my arrogance now that I realize it.” He left his wife and Sandra staring at Lear as he left Lear’s room. Since her sister had betrayed her to her father, it appeared as though Lear would now run into problems with her sister once more. Joel appeared to have left and was now on Sandra’s side. She came up with a scheme to divert her sister’s malevolent gaze away from her. Sandra and Anne were staring at her as if they needed a reason for the question that had been posed, so she folded her arms and pouted. Lear gave her sister another hug and sent her best wishes for her success.

“You’ve won. Congratulations.” Lear said this while giving her sister a big hug. After they had finished hugging, Anne hurried to her husband, who was getting ready to work out in his boxing ring. There was no conflict between Sandra and her sister. She let her embrace expand her heart. The mother and her husband were in the boxing ring, while the sisters stayed in the bedroom, cuddling up to each other. The employees of his security company continued to quarrel even after his agency supplied the film of everything that had occurred around his home. Since their boss, Joel, was not in the office, it appeared as though agent Cruise was abusing his senior manager, Ham.

“This strengthens the case. Mr. Joel ought to be questioned.” Agent Cruise said to Ham, who was left at the office to complete their task for the day. Ham found the remarks made by agent Cruise to be unsettling. He was positive that Diva or the billionaire’s wife would be the ones to betray his master. This would compromise their investigation into Gwen.

“This campaign will end, and we will all be in trouble, if you betray the company.” Although he said it in a courteous manner, agent Cruise departed the office right away in an effort to get home. Agent Cruise was only displeased with his security company as a result of Sandra’s close connection with Mark at the time Diva hired him to spy on the tycoon’s wife, Gwen. Wayne failed to make it to the office as he was off, but Ham and Caesar stayed behind. They carried on with their everyday work while Joel, their boss, was chastised by his wife for what had happened around the home on camera.

“You’re happy. I am grateful, God. But these recordings will be sent to Mark’s wife by your security. Your daughter might lose this house. This will be your fault as a result of the ego you have. Anne reprimanded her husband while she stood in the boxing ring. He was about to react to his wife when Gwen called. He didn’t pick up the phone. Gwen made a call from her bedroom, as if she had just received a footage of what was going on surrounding Joel’s house. Since Mark and Gwen are a married couple, they shared ownership of Mark’s apartment, thus she wanted to speak with Joel about this. Joel was aware that Gwen had discovered it already. Yes, Gwen got the notification immediately upon the transfer of ownership of the apartment that the tycoon gave to Sandra. She requested that her apartment, which Sandra had received, be given back to her and wanted to make sure she was aware of it. Given that Sandra did not request the tycoon for the house at this time, the tycoon would need to clarify everything. Gwen even forced herself think aloud as she swore to go against Sandra. Her husband was headed home to talk about these kinds of things.

“She’ll purchase a home of her own.” Joel had replied to his wife, and now Gwen was calling again. Upon noticing her spouse’s irate attitude, Anne exited the ring. She left Joel to take the tycoon’s wife Gwen’s call and went to greet her daughters.

" Sandra Joel is your daughter, and she inherited my husband’s house. I want to find out more facts about this.” When Joel ultimately picked up the phone, Gwen broke the silence. Joel had to pretend he didn’t know what Gwen was talking about, even though he was aware of the eight million dollar condo the tycoon had given his daughter.

“What exactly are you referring to?” Joel, leaning on the boxing ring’s ropes, asked. Like he was chatting with his lovers. This is a result of his crush on her, which began when he almost had sex with her during the day while they were meeting at her house without the tycoon’s presence.

“Your daughter is having an affair with my husband. You need to come talk to me about this.” Joel looked upset as Gwen spoke to him inside his boxing ring. Gwen had made the decision to head to her house’s spar so her husband would see her in her underwear at the moment of the call. Her stratagem was to appear oblivious to all that Mark had subjected her to.

“In a minute, I will be there with you.” As he was walking out of his training ring, Joel answered. Joel’s response proved to be fearsome to the billionaire and his formidable guards, as he was on his way to see his wife without realizing. Subsequently, Gwen gave him comfort, telling him that the house his daughter had been given was all she needed.

“Mr. Joel, you are not obligated to see me. To regain ownership of my husband’s condo, all you need to do is work tirelessly.” Just as Joel was ready to answer, she muttered this and hung up. For him, this was a distressing issue. He needed to face his daughter and make her give back the items the billionaire had previously gifted her. He went straight to the room where his daughters and their mother were resting. As soon as he walk into the bedroom, he observed the mother sitting on the young child’s bed with her two small children. He addressed Sandra about who owned the house while glancing at her.

“There is a situation here.” Joel trusted in his daughter wholeheartedly. She listened intently to the father’s words. The child understood that the matter involving the tycoon was the one to which her father was alluding. She needed to answer. She even got to her feet to ask her father about his worries.

“What does that mean exactly?” She moved to stand closer to him and asked. Anne, her mother, made the decision to stop her husband from speaking with his daughter. She headed to the kitchen to finish preparing the food she had made. This is because, at the time the supper was cooked, the family had not eaten. Joel went into further detail about the matter as soon as she left. At this Lear said nothing.

“Mark’s wife wants her house back.” Joel said, glancing at his daughter, who seemed to be in danger. Then she recalled the advice her father, Joel, had given her. But her mother was the one who forced her into this predicament. Upon seeing that his daughter was ensnared, he came up with a plan to demonstrate to her that he was willing to fight for the rights that the billionaire had granted her.

“Let’s fight to prevent her from receiving it.” He remarked, and Sandra and he both turned to face Lear as though they were interested in hearing her opinion. This came after she intervened. Rather, she collapsed into the bed and lay on her back. Sandra’s phone rang as soon as she lay back on the bed, but she was hesitant to answer it. Gwen was trying to persuade Sandra into giving back what she had taken from Mark. Joel realized that his daughter was being called by Gwen. He questioned how he had gotten his daughter’s contact information.

“That’s the wife of the billionaire. In what way did she get your phone number?” Joel asked his daughter a question. She recalled that in order for her to become the legal owner of the apartment, she had included her contacts on the form she was providing to fill out.

“The form Mark gave me to fill out has my numbers on it.” As she answered, her phone rang once more. Instead, she tossed it onto the bed. Joel had to stand up for his daughter like a parent. Since Mark is the one who came to Sandra and gave her ownership of the house she didn’t ask for, Joel needed to talk to Mark directly in order for him to be the one to settle the issue.

“Give me Mark’s contacts. He is the highest authority.” After Joel finished speaking with his daughter, Lear came back carrying Sandra’s phone, which she threw into the bed. Sandra believed it would be a bad idea for her father to speak with the tycoon directly.

She stated as she dialed Mark’s phone, “I will call him by myself.” Since he believed Sandra was finally considering him, he did answer the phone.

“I find myself in a dilemma. The apartment you recently gave me belongs to your wife, and she wants it back.” Sandra, standing behind her father, told Mark over the phone. Regarding what he had done for Sandra, Mark displayed no qualms.

“As per our agreement, you own the house that you’ll live in. Give her to me to handle. It is now appropriate for your father to step back.” Mark commented as he was heading home with his security. Sandra was still the legitimate owner of the apartment that was handed to her, as evidenced by the tycoon’s speech. She felt compelled to express her gratitude to the tycoon for his blessing.

“Many thanks for that.” Sandra answered with a heart full of delight. Joel noticed her daughter was in fantastic health. He grinned as well. But the tycoon and Sandra’s chat went on.

“I’m currently en route to my house to meet up my spouse. Kindly don’t pick up when she or any of her attorneys call. Keep me informed, please.” Sandra was given a fresh connection with the billionaire, and it was thanks to Mark’s promise that the flat was rightfully hers. It wasn’t a charade. Heading at his garage, Mark hung up the phone. The tycoon got home after hanging up the phone. It left Sandra and her family celebrating.

“The billionaire, not his wife, has the last word, surely.” After giving her father comfort, Sandra received a hug from him. Once the dinner was ready, Anne went into the bedroom where her family was relaxing.

“The meal has been ready. Everyone should be ready for supper.” Anne stood at the door and bellowed. Joel went to the kitchen to begin enjoying dinner after holding the hands of his kids and walked with them. After a long and busy day, they headed to bed with a joyful heart.
