"If I have proof, you and your daughters will kiss my foot. Agreed?" Harlow asked wanting g to be sure. She couldn’t wait to silence Elisa once and for all.
"You just want to divert everyone’s attention from the truth Harlow. Show us proof and we’ll miss your foot." Claudia said. She believed her mother’s words so dearly. Just how the hell did she not think of it before, it was so obvious Harlow was faking the investor’s topic and meeting.
Even if it was climbing to the top, Hamilton Corp would never be able to attract investors willing to invest such an amount in their company. Only the Blackwood family has such influence.
Claudia eyed her sister stylishly. Here she was acting like she could run a business when in truth, Alanis is the one helping her.
"Bear us witness Alanis, because you will not be able to save your wife if she fails to provide evidence." Claudia turned to Alanis and again, the man said nothing to her. He didn’t even spare her a glance. She smiled.
Playing hard to get now was he? Little did she know, Alanis Hamilton despised her more than anyone. The sight of her was irritating for him, but there was nothing he could do about it because just like the past, she still tried to cling to him.
"Yes, big brother. Please don’t intervene if your wife doesn’t provide the evidence."
"You don’t have to worry. Alanis will not stop me from kissing your feet if I do not provide evidence. But father, please stay out of it, if they are wrong." Frank nodded at his daughter’s words. Since Elisa and her daughter want to humiliate themselves, he would let them so that next time, they’ll both learn their lessons.
Harlow didn’t even blink. She pulled out her phone, tapped the screen a few times, then turned it around for everyone to see.
On display was a live video call request, from one of the top investors in the industry. Both Frank and Alanis’s eyes went wide. These men fawning over Harlow were so had to get when it came to investment. They would never invest in a company they do not trust.
How the hell did Harlow get their contact?
The room fell silent.
Elisa’s face paled. Lia and Claudia stiffened.
Harlow smirked. "Would you like me to answer the call? Maybe let them personally confirm everything for you?" Harlow asked with a smile. Now, she has them where she wanted them.
"I... If they called why did you still demand money from I and Claudia? Why didn’t you just pick up the call and attend the meeting?" Lia asked.
"Stop being so dumb. They called this morning because I couldn’t attend the meeting last night. And it’s all because of you two. Now," Harlow turned to all three women. "kiss my feet." She said coldly.
Elisa’s face twisted in disgust. "That will be over my dead body." Elisa spat.
"Aren’t you so shameless Harlow? Asking Mother to kiss your feet." Claudia said. She would never kiss Harlow’s feet either, apologizing earlier was enough.
"You all made the bet before everyone here, don’t double-track now," Harlow said sweetly. She quickly sat on the sofa next to Alanis, crossing her legs like royalty as she awaited all three people to kiss her feet.
"Father." Claudia rushed to her father’s side. "Mother is your wife and the woman of the house. You will never let Harlow disrespect her this way will you?" Claudia held his wrist as she spoke.
Frank sighed. He had warned Elisa to stop but she didn’t listen to him. There is nothing he can do now unless Harlow decides to forgive them.
"I am not the one you should be begging," Frank said pointing at Harlow. "Everything is in her hands. I warned you all before didn’t I." Harlow stared at her father with narrowed eyes wondering why he was suddenly on her side.
"If you won’t kiss her feet, then perhaps the guards will help you do it," Frank added.
"You’re willing to let me kiss your daughter’s feet, Frank?" Elisa cried out. "So what if I was wrong? What if I made a mistake? Am I not her mother?" Elisa bellowed, her tone wavering.
The boldness she was had was all fine now and she stared at Harlow like a little cat that could die at any moment.
"You’re not my mother Elisa. You can never have a daughter like me." Elisa gritted her teeth at Harlow’s sharp tongue. If she wasn’t wrong, she would have made Harlow pay ten times more. How lucky she is.
"Harlow, you can’t do this to mum. Even if she didn’t give birth to you, she had been the one taking good care of you since your mother died, how can you say such?" Claudia asked. They were all in a tight spot, she could never imagine herself kissing Harlow’s feet, not to think of her mother.
"She never took care of me. Ava did." Harlow said coldly. In truth, Elisa did nothing for her, all she kept telling her all her life was that Claudia was better than her and that she would never be anything close to Claudia.
They both poisoned Harlow’s food all the time and barely invited her to any social gatherings.
"Harlow!" Elisa gasped as if surprised. "You ungrateful child." She spat.
"What did you give me that I have to be grateful about Elisa?" Harlow asked with a smile. "You have everything that belongs to me to your illegitimate daughter. My title, my money, my inheritance. And now you want to claim you did anything for me."
"Kiss my feet now Elisa." Alanis smiled at his wife’s words. It reminded him of her deed the first day he was reborn. He has never been more proud.
"Eh, Harlow. I know your mo... Elisa was wrong, but please don’t make her kiss your feet." Frank said to his daughter. This would be the biggest embarrassment ever.
