had being a week since the banquet.
Velvet took a deep breadth, it was another day of pain for her, selling her beloved babies. she dropped by he bank to withdraw all she had saved up despite it not being nearly enough.
A million dollars.
She sold her some of her designs and watched clothes for famous brands be made out of them as the so called sdesihners basked in the praise, in the glory that was meant to be hers.
Taking a deep breadth she comforted herself, she had only sold a few of the designs she felt were not as good as the rest, she still had her prized possessions so it was going to be ok.
Composing herself with a few deep breadths, she walked through a very short hall way and into the sitting room only to see her full family.
Even Jane was in a corner dressed in lavish designer clothes and shaking loudly on bubble gum, her eyes unwillingly met with Victor's as she unconsciously tightened her hold on the bag of money.
Her hardworking sweat and tears sacrificed all for her freedom from Mr Storm.
"You insolent daughter!" Mr Adams roared immideately he noticed her presence making Mrs. Adams flinch.
She really couldn't help her daughter on this one she could only rep,y Velvet's questioning gaze wih a helpless one.
Mr Adams was livid. To think he and his first son were trilling hard to save their sinki g company, to think he was sacrifice all he could while this girl was having the time of her life!
Who knows... who knows what she had done with that young man?!
" you disgrace of a daughter ! " Mr Adam flew into rage seeing her questioning expression, how dare she act like she knew nothing after all she did.
"Where were you a week ago, that Saturday night?" Mr. Adams asked while massaging the space between his brows, this daughter of his would be the death of him!
Ever since he was pulled out of jail, his company kept going downhill even falling fat below the red line, all the investor's jumped out of the sinking ship before it capsized but he held on , trying his best, giving his all to make sure that no matter what, he Adams cooperation would be at, east sufficient to provide for it's workers and his family itself.
Enouh to Make sure his children would, not be laughed at lime he was laughed at...
Enough to make sure his children would not be ridiculed like he was ridiculed ....
Enough to ,are sure his children would be able to bring justice he soul longed for, justice he never had..
But here was this insolent daughter thwarting plans!
"I was at work" she said truthfully, it was the night of the banquet so she couldn't leave as she was still supposed to stay at a safe distance from Prima but watch her to make sure no one took advantage of the banquet to fulfill evil ntentions.
But while she was in the middle of being low-key and trying to be at the very least, comfortable in the tight feeling clothes prina got for her.
She had honestly wanted to sprint back up he stairs and change to her usual clothes but Prima insisted, she may be her best friend but she was undoubtedly, still her boss.
"Paaaacck" a crisp slapping sound made Velvet be thrown to the ground, she had not seen that coming and her father used so much strength that he was trembling.
Her eyes widened, she, no matter the circumstances had never being hit by her ever doting father.
Mr. Adams grabbed a couple of pictures from the couch and threw them on her!
Velvet stared at one of the pictures with widened eyes, it was a picture of the brief moment Killian held her to his chest when he felt the kidnapper coming.
It was no wonder how it was taken as the walls of the garden were made of glass and were transparent, the angle at which these pictures were taken was one such that, it looked like they were making out!
Velvet finally understood...
If theses pictures reached the media, it was as good as the end of the Adams cooperation.
People would started to see her as a prostitute who climbed up the social ladders just to at least have a night with the famous grant for money and fame, the fact that Killian was in a relationship added fuel to the fire.
She would be forever labelled as a boyfriend snatcher and a relationship wrecker.
No one would blame he almighty Grant but she would be blamed instead as the prostitute.
It would not be too long before the prying reporters traced her back to the Adams family, and then to the Adams cooperation, her father's secret affair that led to her birth and the fact that her father was an ex convict would be publicised.
Then they would truly not be able to get any more investors, people from the board would start to sell their shares untill there was no one left.
Then her father's long time dream that was once a reality, Adams cooperation..
... would be nothing but a distant fantasy.
This pictures being here meant that they had already gotten in someone's hands and that person,wasn't bold enough to threaten the Grant family decided to threaten the weaker one instead.
The poor and powerless Adams family...
