Felicia leaned on her mother's shoulder and said, “That's great, Mom. I'll go and change right now. Let
me go and see Uncle Gregory with you.”
It turned out that Felicia's uncle was a hooligan, and the entire Dannings family avoided him like the
plague.
Her mother was the only one who was still in contact with him, and they were pretty close.
Felicia knew why. It was because her uncle brought some men with him to reason with Felicia's father
and forced him to marry her mother when Candace was pregnant with her.
Thus, Candace had always been grateful to him for that.
It was the same reason that Candace would give Felicia's uncle money without hesitation whenever he
asked.
Felicia used to think her mom was a fool for being nice to her uncle. After all, it was best to stay as far
as possible from a greedy man like him.
However, she realized now that her mother must have foresight in things. As it seemed, they could get
her uncle to do the dangerous stuff, which would be good for the mother and daughter. After all, if one
were to look into it, her uncle would be the one at fault.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that point, Felicia had already planned out the whole thing in her mind. She thought of giving her
uncle a large sum of money if he could carry out the task successfully.
After all, Felicia was not short of money. The thing she lacked was an identity, one that could make her
stand out.
That identity she had her eyes on was Patrick Lowen's wife. Ultimately, she would have anything within
her reach once she became Mrs. Lowen.
The mother and daughter then drove to Gregory Dannings' house. He lived in an old bungalow which
was the Dannings family's old residence. They parked their car at the door and got out. Then, Candace
went and rang the bell.
“Mom, is Uncle Gregory home?” asked Felicia.
She thought it would make more sense to look for Gregory in the casino since he loved gambling.
However, Candace rang the bell again and replied, “He's broke lately. I'm sure he's home.”
Felicia was surprised to hear that. Is my mom a fortune-teller? How could she know that he's broke?
Still, she had always been impressed by her mother. After all, she was nothing compared to Candace
when it came to the tricks up her sleeves.
Thus, Felicia knew that Patrick would be hers eventually as long as she had her mother.
At that moment, a woman in pajamas and a head of messy hair opened the door. Clearly, she had just
woken up. With a cigarette between her fingers, she took a puff with annoyance and asked, “Who are
you looking for?”
Candace looked at that woman and knew right away that the woman was a prostitute.
“I'm here to see Gregory,” said Candace. She then went inside without showing the woman any
respect.
Seeing how Candace came in uninvited, the woman scolded, “Hey! Did I say you could come in? How
could you barge in like that? Get out.”
Felicia said coldly, “This house belongs to my mother. She was the one who let Gregory stay here. You
have no right to kick her out.”
The woman was stunned. So this old woman is Gregory's sugar mommy? She scoffed at that thought,
turned, and went inside.
Meanwhile, when Felicia set foot in the courtyard, she noticed the drastic change in it compared to how
the place used to look. The courtyard was now covered in weeds.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI knew anything good that ended up in his hands would turn into trash. God knows how dirty and messy
the inside of the house is! Don't they have housekeepers? Why isn't anyone taking care of the
courtyard?
The bungalow might be old, but it was in a good location. Not only was it located in the city center, but it
was also a comfortable space to live in. Hence, it could fetch a good price if one were to sell it.
When Felicia arrived in the living room, she saw her uncle coming downstairs in a sleeping robe. He
looked mean and ruthless with his tall figure and a full beard.
“Candace, you came to see me so early? Did you come to give me money?”
It turned out that Gregory had asked to borrow some money from Candace a few days ago, and she
told him that she would send it to him in a few days. Thus, he thought that was why she was there
when he saw her.
Candace placed a card on the table and said, “Here's a million you wanted. However, you'll have to do
something for me.”
Gregory went over and grabbed the card with a sly grin.
“Say it. I'll do whatever you want.”
For Gregory, money was king. Not to mention how Candace had been kind to him all those years and
given him money whenever he asked.
Thus, he was prepared to do anything she asked.
