Episode 11

The face of Tania Wlop was truly disfigured after finishing listening to my words.

"Is this a joke, Mr. Zhoa? This man cannot enter this house. Did you not realize he is a servant?" exclaimed the woman, clenching her teeth in disgust.

For such an arrogant woman like Tania Wlop, it is an insult that I would prefer Antonio over herself.

"Mrs. Wlop, if you disagree with the decision I have made, just say so and I will leave this very moment with him."

Just the thought of a man like Antonio stepping foot into something as luxurious as their Wlop mansion fills Tania and her husband with anger.

Neither of them could deny allowing Antonio to be by my side all night, as doing so would automatically eliminate their daughter's chance of marrying me.

I imagine at this point, Emiliano Wlop knows that it was I who bought the majority of the shares that the government put up for sale, and it's not in his best interest to kick me out of this miserable house.

"Darling, it's alright if this man enters the mansion, as long as he cleans his feet before coming in. Problem solved," commented Emiliano Wlop, in a scornful tone.

"Honey, can we speak alone for a moment?"

Tania approached her husband, visibly upset with the decision he had just made. The two of them retreated to the other side of the room.

From the expression on their faces, it was clear that they were engaging in an unfriendly argument, while both Mr. Wlop gentlemen continued to reach an agreement in their absurd discussion.

Discreetly, I signaled Antonio to enter the mansion without cleaning his shoes, which infuriated the distinguished family.

I want to see with my own eyes how much they can endure, how far they are willing to humiliate themselves in order to gain financial benefits.

"Mr. Zhoa, my apologies for witnessing this embarrassing misunderstanding between my beloved wife and me. But everything is settled now, and it won't happen again," said Emiliano Wlop, forcing a smile as fake as his apology.

Antonio hurried to come over to where I was. Just as I had ordered, he entered the mansion without cleaning his feet.

"With your permission, ma'am," said Antonio, bowing his head in front of Tania.

The woman turned all shades of red upon seeing Antonio enter the mansion without obeying her orders.

Tania Wlop was completely outraged, unable to contain her true nature. She quickly raised her hand to point her finger at Antonio.

Although her lips trembled with anger, not a single word came out of her mouth. Seeing her husband's expression, Tania lowered her hand and tried to calm herself.

This is just the beginning of a night full of nightmares for her and her damned family.

"I will go and call for my Emma to come down and greet her fiancé and this servant," declared the insolent lady.

Seeing Tania walking hastily towards the rooms, I couldn't help but comment that Antonio was not just a mere servant as she claimed.

"Mrs. Wlop, Antonio is not an employee to me. He is my right-hand man and the person I trust the most. So, as long as I am present, please refrain from referring to my friend as a servant."

Tania stopped upon hearing my words, clearly displeased by my remark.

Without turning to look at me, Tania continued up the stairs. After a few seconds, Emiliano Wlop and I entered the office.

"Please have a seat, Mr. Zhoa," Emiliano asked, pointing to the chair next to me.

As I observed Emiliano's office closely, it became evident that this family doesn't mind spending thousands of dollars on unnecessary luxuries.

"What good taste Mr. Wlop has. This is the most luxurious office I have ever seen in my life, from desks worth thousands of dollars, carved with the finest wood, to a book worth over forty thousand dollars, limited excitement. "I commented, carefully examining each of the objects inside.

Emiliano approached me and handed me a glass of whiskey, then took a seat on the sofa in front of me, to discuss his intentions a bit.

"Mr. Zhoa, I am flattered that you notice that, as I have selected each object inside this house carefully, for my family and for my beloved daughter, Emma, I will always choose the best.

"But let's leave that for another occasion. Now let's get to what truly interests us, which is the wedding between you and my dear daughter, Emma.

"Emma is my greatest treasure and I want only the best for her... And I know that if she becomes your wife, she will lack nothing, and as a sign of your good intentions, I think it would be good for you to return the shares that you bought from the government... Do not misunderstand me, I do not expect you to take them away ... I just want my daughter to have the best.

Upon hearing each of his words, I wanted to throw this glass of whiskey in his face and leave that damn mansion at that very moment...

I had to hold back the immense desire to throw everything away and destroy this damn family in just a second, but I did not want it to happen this way.

"Mr. Zhoa, you have a call from Holland... It's Miss Lorett."  Antonio mentioned when he noticed that I was about to lose what little patience I had left while listening to this man's cynicism.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wlop. I have to take this call." I immediately got up from the armchair and took the phone from Antonio's hands.

I left the office and went outside the mansion, knowing that the call was just an excuse for me to take a breath of fresh air.

"Mr. Zhoa, if you wish, we can leave right now."

"No, now more than ever, I want to humiliate this damn family... " I replied, handing the phone back to Antonio.
