"What now Dora Riddles ? Why did you call me home this urgently ? I thought you said you don't drink and yet ,you are having the billionaire vodka from my mini bar ,is it ?
My sweet mother ,please stick to what you say at times ,okay ? "Jakes said and took a sip of the vodka from his mother's glass .
"Naughty naughty boy ! "Dora pulled Jakes' cheeks .
"Awtch mum ! that hurts okay ? Is that why you asked me to come home urgently ?
I'm not a kid ,now I'm a grown up and so you should stop pulling my cheeks ,alright ? "Jakes said to his mother like a kid .
"You can be the best and wealthiest business man but you will always be my baby .
Now sit down quietly and let's celebrate .Cheers ! "Dora raised her glass for a toast .
"Cheers mum ,even though I don't know for which particular reason that we are celebrating ."Jakes also raised his glass to his mum for a toast .
"I saw you and Eloise this morning in the pool ,you were both playing risque together .
So tell me that you are both together and you ain't pushing through with the annulment right ? "Dora asked her son .
"Mum ,were you spying on us ? "Jakes asked a bit surprised at his mother .
"No ,I'm not and by the way it wasn't my fault that I asked Ida to prepare me a cup of coffee when I stood in my balcony ,is it ?
If you don't want anyone to get to see you both then don't play your dirty love antics here in this mansion .
Right now ,I couldn't care what you both do because i'm hoping that at the end of it all ,you both come together as a couple and give your daughter the complete family that she deserves .
Talking about your daughter , she's the main reason I asked you to come home urgently because I was so stressed out that I couldn't come to your office to talk to you ."Dora told Jakes .
"What has she done mum ? If it's about buying Del Amo Fashion Center then I don't have a problem .
Look at it in this way ,she saved that dying company and so it's my daughter who has done them some good ."Jakes supported Suzzy's actions .
"Exactly my point son ,your daughter has really surprised me .
She bought a dying company and she also got everyone in her favour to shop at Del Amo Fashion Center .
Now Del Amo Fashion Center will not lead us to a loss but a high profit since we will have so many fashion design companies teaming up with Cooperatives of Jewelry Designs and all the staff will be sold at Del Amo Fashion Center .
For all this time , we've been looking for a fashion centre to display our artifacts and though we shopped at Del Amo Fashion Center as first class customers ,we really couldn't sell our products there that much .
But now ,thanks to your daughter and my brilliant granddaughter ,we have this problem off our backs now .
What I'm trying to say is your daughter has a good business mindset and so she's fit to inherit all this fortune some day to come .
She has the blood of a Riddles running through her veins .
That's why henceforth ,she needs to be protected so that no harm befalls the future of Riddles Cooperation because Monalisa Susana Jenkins Riddles will be a business tycoon far better than we were ."Dora picked up Suzzy's picture from the console table and smiled wide .
"You need not worry mum , no harm will befall my daughter .
Trust me on this .."Jakes assured his mum .
.... ....
Suzzy drove Sonya and Josette home as they lived opposite to each in Wrightwood .
"We are finally home ,welcome to Wrightwood Mona .."Sonya said happily .
"Thank you alot Mona ,thanks to you we've enjoyed our holiday today .
Why don't you come home and see how our home also looks ?
Though it's nothing big and spacious like your mansion ,I'm sure you'd like it ."Josette said .
"Josette , don't worry ,I can't do that today because I have to attend to something at home but don't worry ,there are other days ahead and trust me , there's no joy than coming to your home but today ,I really can't do that .
So sorry !"Suzzy held both her hands and apologized .
"Mona is right Josette ,today has been very tiring and I know she will visit later .Now help me unpack these suitcases from here .
Besides ,we will meet tomorrow for the core lectures so don't be such a killjoy ."Sonya said while taking out the suitcases from Mona's car boot.
"Alright girls ,see you tomorrow and please send my regards to your parents on my behalf ."Suzzy hugged both her friends before leaving .
She headed straight home however while driving ,she was caught up in a pool of thoughts .
"Oh God ! what do I tell daddy and grany when I get home ?
All this is the fault of Erica Montgomery and Greg Hamilton ,in my quest to limit their arrogance ,I ended up in a debt !How will I pay an amount of $400 ,281 ,930 to my daddy now ?
I'm not sure I can earn such an amount of money even if I work for a whole year .
What have you done Susana Jenkins ? Should I call mummy up ? No I shouldn't ,I don't want to stress her .I'm sure by now , she's even thinking about a way to curb my mess .
Dear God ,I know I don't usually ask for miracles to happen but please cause one to happen today and save me ."Suzzy finally arrived home after an hour and sixteen minutes drive from Wrightwood to Los Angeles and parked her car in the parking lot .
Suzzy mastered some courage to walk towards the main door but her heart skipped a beat when she saw her daddy sitting down comfortably with crossed legs on the luxurious sofa and he seemed to be humming over an issue with her grany .
