"I expect him to leave the company at any time, with my consent".
"Well, grandpa, it's not like that, we're terminating the contract you had with my father, second you're
paying him all the money he demands from the company, and third we're leaving the smith family and
no longer part of the smith family, so please change your statement," Sandra stated.
"Young girl, you don't respect your elders!" replied the lawyer.
“How can you speak back to the elders in that manner, and where is your lawyer? Do you recognise
me? I'm Enoch from City A firm institute, so who are you to argue with me?"
He then turned to look at William, who was standing next to her, assuming he was her lawyer. "So this
is your so-called lawyer, I don't even know him, and you want him to compromise with me, what a
joke!" laughed as if he saw idiots.
Sandra glanced at him, puzzled as to how Mr. Jack could employ such a fool as a subordinate, but she
assured that she would let the old man deal with his staff because it was none of her business.
"Well, you have eyes but can't see; I'm not sure how people trust you and choose you as their lawyer,
but this isn't my lawyer; my lawyer will be here in five minutes."
He was so offended when she told him he had eyes but couldn't see that he couldn't believe his ears! It
was the first time he had been insulted since becoming a lawyer for City A firm institute.
Everyone wants to do favours for him whenever they see him, but one little girl insulted him. He swore
in front of many people that he would teach this dam young child a lesson, so he told her:
"If your lawyer isn't here, I'm leaving; I can't believe Mr. Smith called me here to insult me, you know."
Old man smith was already loosing it as this damn girl has been insulting the entire family, so he looked
at his younger son Andrew and said,
"See, this is the girl you're proud of, she can't respect elders," his mother remarked. "I knew this little
girl would never bring anything good to this family, we've had nothing but misfortune since she was
born, now that she's back, this house can't have peace."
When his parents insulted his daughter, as if she were not their grandchild, Andrew Smith felt the urge
for the first time in his life to leave the Smith family and establish a new life with his family, then work NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
hard to make his wife and daughter proud.
He answered his parents:“ mum, dad, Sandra is also your granddaughter, so you can’t call her all that
and what wrong did she do! If she wants to fight for my freedom that I failed to fight for and what she
said it’s also true, if the lawyer had eyes he would have seen that Mr. William is not a lawyer”
this surprised the old man and woman as it was his first time since Andrew was born to answer back to
them, and all of this because of that good for nothing daughter of his, their hatred for Sandra increase
and wished her nothing but death.
His brothers, who despise him to the core because he was always the wise child among the three of
them, he was their grandparents' favourite child, and he also had the most beautiful woman as a wife,
even though she was from an unknown background, the way she carried herself was not comparable
to ordinary people, felt so happy as this would bring a lift between him and their father, making it
difficult for him to inherit the family properties.
"Dad! let them leave as there's nothing they can do for our family, we don't need people who are
traitors to our family and don't appreciate the good things we have done for them," says his second
son's wife, who is also his second daughter-in-law.
Sandra didn't want to prolong their drama, so she shouted, "Enough! with your drama and there's
nothing you'll get, as my lawyer has arrived, let's get right to the point." At that moment, an elderly guy
in his fifties or sixties entered, smiling.
"Sandra, my girl, I hope I didn't arrive too late. I had a case in court, so I left it there and arrived as soon
as I got your call,"
Sandra just smiled at him and stated. “ No, you came at the right time to meet your subordinate
behaving as if he owns the City A firm institute, never the less Mr. Enoch meet my lawyer Mr. jack, your
boss, if I’m not wrong”.
This startled everyone, especially William, who had not expected his Boss’s wife to be so competent of
knowing the owner of the city, a strong institute, but he stayed silent and did not show his
astonishment, which was not the case with the Smith family.
Even lawyer Enoch couldn't keep his arrogance going, saying, "sir, what are you doing here if you told
me you knew her, I would have made her work easy and we leave here soon?"
Her mother approached her and asked, "Honey, how did you know this man?" "Why he calls you so
intimately as if he knows you so well?" she just stared at her.
"Well, I'll tell you after we finish here," she replied, then added, "Enoch, or whatever your name is, I
don't have a whole day so please let's get right to the point, I don't think there is anyone missing
because we are all here."
