If it hadn’t been for the sake of his old friend, Curtis would have kicked Maurice, Tina, and Harriet out long before they started causing trouble.

So there they went, sulking away through the wilderness. They couldn’t catch a ride and had to trek it on foot.

As they walked, Tina complained about her aching feet in her high heels. “Mr. Ramirez could’ve at least sent a car for us. If I hurt my feet, I’ll never hear the end of it from those other ladies tomorrow.”

The high–society women were all about perfection; none of them would let a single flaw slide.

Maurice was getting fed up with her constant whining. “You spend all day chattering about petty things like this! When are you going to start caring about the company?”

“What do you mean ‘when‘? I care plenty! All this effort to connect with the socialites is to get their husbands to help you out. If you had any ambition, I wouldn’t have to work this hard!” Tina felt completely justified in her frustration

But barely had the words left her mouth when Maurice slapped her hard, sending her tumbling to the ground. “Say that again?!”

He stood over her, his expression dark and menacing. Tina was stunned, her heart racing as she looked up.

Maurice felt his phone buzzing in his pocket and pulled it out. His heart dropped as he saw a flood of text messages from various banks, all rejecting his loan applications.

‘What’s happening?‘ he thought. Just when he had let off some steam and felt a bit of relief, everything went dark before his eyes, and he staggered back a couple of steps.

“Dad, are you okay?” Harriet rushed over to support him, her voice shaky, clearly frightened after witnessing the earlier
