If so the Duke's didn't have a hand in harming Eina or the family business which they cherished, he would have walked away as their behaviour had reached an extreme.
They made him feel like being poor was a sin.
"Relax Erison." The voice in Erison's head said to him and he exhaled and inhaled, ensuring that he avoided the multiple insults being thrown at him from the different angles of the parlour.
"In the last meeting, you made mention of the company's assets being seized by the government, and I know someone that can bring investors, you have to trust me." Erison said to his mother who opened her eyes in surprise.
To her... Erison was speaking gibberish.
She wasn't the type who would trust any poor person as her thoughts were focused on the fact that she had to accept Erison as her son in law despite his biggest flaw in being penniless.
"What is your name?" Someone asked.
"I am called Erison Sonni?" Erison replied.
"If you don't have money to buy anything for granny then you don't need to make yourself known here... You obviously don't deserve my sister." Kelvin, Emelda's brother, mocks as well.
These two were beginning to love the mockery they were able to fire at Eina and him.
"Grandma, Erison you need to listen to what he is saying, I am the heir of my grandfather's business and we both know that we can't lose any opportunity of help, you said it yourself." Eina follows her grandmother instead.
Judging from her body movements and words, one could tell that she felt humiliated, the embarrassment she and her husband were facing before the family felt like they were being burnt down with their rage.
"I am not deaf Eina, he said he wants this money to bring glory to my family."
"Now that's an insult because my family has all the glory it has always needed all these years." Einas grandmother fires in a crooked tone.
"Isn't glory and progress what you want!?" Eina fired back at her grandmother.
Erison stood unshaken.
"No! What I want is for this bastard to name his price and leave so that you can terminate the marriage your grandfather stamped with him and marry Haron Duke, because he will help us better!" Mrs Monile said to Eina in her full glory.
Erison stared back at Eina who was full of words about the man her grandmother wanted for her instead... Knowing fully well that Mr. Haron Duke wasn't into women nor had he ever made attempts to touch her in the past.
She knew Haron Duke had plans to help, but from listening to Erison and seeing how powerful her husband was... She had to trust Erison.
"Mr. Haron Duke sent his birthday gift! A La Peregrina Pearl worth eleven million dollars." The attendant offered the jewellery to Mrs. Monile who was full of shock.
"Oh my god, La Peregrina Pearl!" She screams excitedly as she stretches her hand collecting the jewellery from the attendant.
The entire family kept silent as they would never expect anyone would be able to find grandma's exact coloured La Peregrina Pearl, it was worth a lot too so everyone stayed excited that Mr. Haron Duke didn't forget about her birthday, unlike Einas husband.
"My dearest Haron Duke is so rich and deserving of my grandchild Eina, not this loser!... I mean can you all see what he bought for me?" She asked the entire family.
Then Mrs. Monile turned to look at her granddaughter with a soft glare.
"Let me turn the tables around... How about I give you my company shares for free, without you finding an investor, to become the overall owner of Monile Enterprise?" Mrs. Monile offered as everyone stared at Eina.
That opportunity offered to her was a golden buzzer and she was wasting their time, with jealousy rising amongst the entire family towards her for not replying to her grandma yet.
"Great mother, I will never divorce Erison... I love him, he loves me and my grandfather Monile loved me too for getting us together, he is my husband and I will not terminate my marriage, Haron Duke should go elsewhere." Eina said as she walked closer to Erison.
Erison holds Einas hand as he looks back at his mother inlaw was stunned and full of anger, so visible that it could show over her aggrieved face as she glared terribly at them.
"I want the best for you Eina... How dare you bring this liability for me to accept, can't you see our family business is at stake? Hold your goat and take it away from here!" Mrs. Monile yells back at Eina and Erison.
"You're not welcome here, leave at this instant!" She orders in pain.
Erison could see how downgraded he was, and he had no rich reputation in the Monile family at this time, so he turned to Eina whose face still gave him hope to push on.
"Eina, they probably don't know who the real enemy is here and because you believe in me... I will go and see my friend, to know how he can help me. Even without money, we need to do something to keep us safe." Erison said to Eina as he turned to leave.
"Yes dear, get out!" Mrs. Monile added.
"Alright, I will follow you, my husband." Eina said as she hugged Erison from behind him.
"God damnit!" Mrs. Monile fires out of frustration as the two were getting on her nerves.
"If you want to dine with him in poverty then understand that you will be disowned and you can take your dumb parents, especially your careless mother, and get out of this great mansion with this useless liability you call a husband!" Mrs. Monile roars at Eina.
Eina looked scared because she never expected that her grandma could go that far.
"Please Eina, I need you here and I will tell you what to do later, so don't be bothered to follow me okay?" Erison comforted her, kissing the roof of her palm before walking out.
