âAuntie, how could you use the Bright family name like that? If you do this people will lose trust in the Bright family name! Grandpa will be mad if he knows about this.â
âCorey you have lost the right to speak for the Bright family, you chose to opt-out of the family remember.
And you Susan donât think that the Bright family will let you go if you pull this kind of stunt, we are not afraid of hurting our public image as long as justice is served.â Shutting up Corey, Melinda threatened Susan.
As far as the family public image is concerned no one will believe that the cityâs wealthiest and prominent family would try to dupe a few million from a small-time auction manager, as long court rules in the Bright familyâs favour.
Corey fiercely glared at Melinda and was about to rebut her but was interrupted by Susan, âCorey this doesnât concern you, stay out of it. And as for you Mrs Melinda Bright just because you have a bigger mouth does not mean whatever nonsense you spout is the truth.
I have been in this business for 7 years now and I have few tricks up my sleeve too.â
Soon the gem on Susanâs right wrist bracelet lit up and the voice of Melinda sounded from within the gem,
âDonât worry about the loan Susan, we can be considered friends nowâŠâ
âSince you promised to introduce me to your card creationist I will loan you the money for zero interestâŠâ
âreturn the loan at your convenienceâŠâ
Melindaâs expression turned hideous as she said, âThat was recorded without my consent or knowledge.â
âSo what itâs valid as I am one of the parties involved in the conversation. Now that I have satisfied my end of the deal now itâs your turn, I will return the money at my convenience. Please show yourselves out now.â
I was impressed by Susan but it was better to cut ties with the snake when given the chance otherwise it will come back to bite us. So, transferring 40 million $ to Susanâs account I said, âSusan pay her back we donât need her money anymore.â
Susan had already received the notification of the money transfer from her grimoire and seemed to have the same idea as me. She transferred the 20 million $ she owed to Melinda and with a humble smile she said, âMrs Melinda, thank you for the help and pleasure doing business with you.â
âNo, the pleasure is mineâ Melinda responded with a professional smile and turned to me while sending a friend invite to my grimoire adding, âMr Wyatt when you are done playing small, give me a call.â
I replied, âIf I change my mind I will let you know.â
Before leaving she looked at Corey who was still holding a tray full of refreshments and said, âyou are not the Corey I know, who are you?â
Hearing this Coreyâs face went pale and her hands trembled slightly before regaining calmness, her reaction caused Melinda to raise an eyebrow. But Melinda did not think much of it and left.

Walking out of the warehouse Melinda made a call,
âOld man, Corey is surrounded with good company. But for the princess of the Bright family to work as a maid isnât a bitâŠâ Melinda dragged her voice not knowing how to express her negation without angering the old man.
âI donât care, my granddaughter wants to experience life, then let her.â Said William Bright arrogantly
âI donât care either, I am tired of acting the villain. You should have seen her glare at me as if I am the enemy, that unfilial niece. I fed her my breast milk for 7 months when her mother was out on a mission.â
âAhem!â
âDonât clear your throat at me. You men all are the same, didnât you have a mother⊠anyway I just lost an excellent slave because of your overindulgence, how are you planning to compensate me.â
âHow about you get to inform Kitty that I am retiring and that I am giving her the family.â
âWhat? Old man have you gone senile, family is not yours to give it to mother-in-law. You both run the family together. If you retire then she will be the head of the family automatically.â
âWhatever I am retiring, let me grow old peacefully watching my granddaughter grow.â
âSure fine with me, but I canât say the same about the elders and the rest of the family, especially the men in the family.â
âJust warn them not to disturb my retirement.â
âTut tut tutâŠâ
Bright family hierarchy is unlike any other family, ever since the rule of War golem twins the family has always had two leaders, this era the leaders were William and his wife Kitty. Williamâs unexpected retirement now was earth-shattering news for the family and the Sky blossom city.
