Chapter 4
"Jack, I want to remove myself and my parents from the Smith family; I want to terminate the contract
that prevents my father from working for another company; and they should pay him all of the money
he demands from the Smith company."
Jack listened while writing everything down, then asked the Smith family if they had any issues with it.
All this time, the Smith family had been wondering "How on earth does this bastard know the boss of
the City A firm institute," and the way he was respectful to her made them even more surprised, so they Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
didn't listen to what the lawyer was asking them, they just accepted.
"If you accept, please sign here,"
They all signed, including the younger generation as witnesses, and then burned the old agreement
into bits.
It was an arrangement he made with his parents in order to marry his wife; despite being the most
hardworking, he was not expected to work for any firm or gain company favour.
He couldn't believe he had regained his freedom, thanks to his daughter.
He had always wanted to leave this family and start his own company because he knew he was bright
and had great ambitions, but every time he tried to talk to his father about leaving the family and
starting his career, he would threaten him with this agreement.
He can't believe it's now destroyed and he can work hard to provide his daughter and wife a good
future, he grinned with tears in his eyes and held his daughter.
"Thank you babe for restoring my freedom, Dad promises you that from now on, I will work very hard to
make you and your mammy proud."
His wife joined the hang because she felt guilty every time she saw her husband humiliated. She
believed it was because of her, if he hadn't married her, he may have a better life and be able to fulfil
his aspirations.
"Thank God in my heart for giving me a sensible daughter who understands and is willing to sacrifice
anything for my family."
For the first time in the twenty-two years since Sandra had fled her home, she considered her family
and wondered, "How are they?"
She wondered whether her parents would ever forgive her for her decision. Nonetheless, she was
given a second chance to correct her faults, and she intends to work hard with her future husband to
ensure they reach the top by their own efforts.
"Now that everything is done and we have signed everything, you need to fulfil your part of the
bargain," said Old Man Smith, breaking the family's stillness.
"Don't worry, Grandpa," she said. “I'm good at keeping my words and I despise forcing people to do
things they don't want to do, unlike you," she said, turning to William, who had been standing there as if
everything in front of him was drama, he was so silent that if you didn't look closely, you might think
there was no one there.
This made her question about her soon-to-be husband, if his people can be so calm in the midst of a
storm, is it because they have a lot of drama or he is not as ordinary as they present to people, but she
let it go.
because she didn't have time to think about these things.
"Tell your boss or whatever you call him that I have agreed to marry him, let him inform me the time to
meet at the marriage affairs to get our certificate," she stated, as if she was referring to someone else
who was being married, not herself.
As soon as his task was finished, Mr. William stated, "OK, now I'll take my leave."
Sandra told her parents to pack their belongings because they were leaving, and she told her
grandfather to call the company finance to clear her father's money so they could leave the house.
Old man Smith greeted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do, so he asked his elder son to
contact the company finance and inform everyone in the company that Andrew is no longer allowed to
enter the company and is no longer a member of the Smith family, along with his daughter and wife.
This made the remaining Smith family delighted since they felt it was their turn to ensure that Andrew
and his wife did not return to the smith family once they regretted their decision. The elderly woman
smith approached Andrew as if she were not his mother and stated:
“Never return here begging! if things don’t turn out to be the way you planned them to be”.
