章 60: Trap

Date 22 Mar 2321

Time 8:05

Location Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234

"You? You created Susan's Origin card." Asked a mature lady in confusion wearing a sweater with a deep V-neck exposing her bountiful bosom more than appropriate. 

This was the 5th time she asked me the same question but I forgive her as the saying goes bigger the breasts smaller the brains.

She was repeatedly asking me the same thing like a stuck record player, maybe some spanking would help her move forward.

"Yes, yes I did" I answered looking at two huge white meat mountains, don't get me wrong it's just that her ample bosom had blocked my entire field of vision, after all, she stood right in front of me. 

This was the first time in this life I was not annoyed with my small height, front row tickets to the best show ever who will complain.

It has been a while for me and not to mention my new teenage body which gets excited for no apparent reason, therefore my mind is all over the place lately. 

Peeling my eyes from the meat mountains wobbling in front of me with her every breath, I peeked at Susan to my shock, she gave me a knowing smile. It seems she will be of no help. 

Corey who walked in with refreshment looked at the mature lady and said, "Auntie Melinda, what are you doing here?"

"What a surprise, Corey my dear niece. Is this how you greet your elder, where are your Bright family manners?"

"Auntie, I don't have time to play your games. Does Uncle Oliver know you are here?" Corey threatened Melinda using her uncle's name.

"Why should he know, am I supposed to report to him before leaving the house. 

Don't worry I am not here for you, you know I am starting a designer label so I want to recruit the genius card creationist that appeared in the last week's auction." Melinda explained.

"..." Corey did not believe her aunt, she has seen enough to know what her aunt is capable of if not for her grandparent's fondness for her, she would be one of Melinda's victims.

Melinda knew Corey did not believe her but she did not care as she was done here, now that all the pieces are in place she turned to Susan and said, "I will be expecting the armours by tomorrow, any delay and you will be hearing from my lawyer." 

Hearing Melinda, Susan was confused and asked, "what armours?" 

"The ones for which I loaned you the money, did you forget so soon" Melinda replied lethargically.

"What? You seem to have forgotten there was no such deal between us. You loaned me the money for zero interest to get introduced to the card creationist of my origin card." Susan was a veteran in this field and quickly understood what was happening. 

Susan trusts others but she was not dumb, alas in Melinda's case she seems to has fallen into a trap. She chose to accept the loan from Melinda on a verbal agreement trusting the reputation of the Bright family name, how could she know that a member of the city's prominent family will play rogue with her. 

"No sweetie, I loaned you the money because you promised me the armours otherwise why would I give you a zero-interest loan. I have grimoire records of the money transfer, it's too late for you want to back out." 

Melinda attended Susan's auction at the request of her husband with some of her friends, while the crowd was mesmerised by Susan and the perfect rating cards, she had her eyes on the card creationist behind these perfect rating cards. 

Seeing how the card creationist chose Susan to auction his card rather than any other popular auction managers it can be seen that their relationship between Susan and the card creationist is not simple.

Melinda was not worried that she would offend the card creationist because if the card creationist was powerful or equal to the Bright family behind her he would have directly used his/her name to get Susan out of trouble, rather than helping Susan while hiding his/her identity.

Therefore she got close to Susan by showing interest in her origin card but no matter how much she seduced Susan, she could not crack her. Until Susan called her asking for a loan from the Bright family.

Seeing an opportunity Melinda laid the trap, by loaning Susan money under the Bright family name with just a verbal agreement.

Now all Melinda had to do was wait till Susan had spent all the money and then reveal her cards, leaving Susan with three options 

The first way is to return every penny of the loan, the second way is negotiating with Melinda and the third way is to meet in court. 

Melinda knew having spend the money Susan could not afford the first way if Susan could she would not have asked for the loan in the first place and as for the third way,

Verbal agreements are legally enforceable in the court of law but in case of a dispute or a suit, it is a difficult task for the court to ascertain the true nature of facts and terms of the agreement, without the invasion of bias. For a big and prominent family like the Bright family, this was nothing and would easily turn the odds in their favour. Resulting in Susan getting fined, owe a huge debt and charged with other charges.

Since they could not afford the first and the third way, Susan will have no choice but to negotiate with Melinda to unfavourable terms or go to jail. 

Holding Susan in her palms Melinda would indirectly get an excellent card creationist slave. 

Even if all this doesn't work it was worth the try, all Melinda lost was a little money, she would spend twice that amount in an evening.

章 61: Unfilial Niece

Date 22 Mar 2321

Time 8:12

Location Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234

"Auntie, how could you use the Bright family name like that? If you do this people will lose trust in the Bright family name! Grandpa will be mad if he knows about this." 

"Corey you have lost the right to speak for the Bright family, you chose to opt-out of the family remember. 

And you Susan don't think that the Bright family will let you go if you pull this kind of stunt, we are not afraid of hurting our public image as long as justice is served." Shutting up Corey, Melinda threatened Susan. 

As far as the family public image is concerned no one will believe that the city's wealthiest and prominent family would try to dupe a few million from a small-time auction manager, as long court rules in the Bright family's favour.

Corey fiercely glared at Melinda and was about to rebut her but was interrupted by Susan, "Corey this doesn't concern you, stay out of it. And as for you Mrs Melinda Bright just because you have a bigger mouth does not mean whatever nonsense you spout is the truth. 

I have been in this business for 7 years now and I have few tricks up my sleeve too." 

Soon the gem on Susan's right wrist bracelet lit up and the voice of Melinda sounded from within the gem, 

"Don't worry about the loan Susan, we can be considered friends now…"

"Since you promised to introduce me to your card creationist I will loan you the money for zero interest…"

"return the loan at your convenience…" 

Melinda's expression turned hideous as she said, "That was recorded without my consent or knowledge."

"So what it's valid as I am one of the parties involved in the conversation. Now that I have satisfied my end of the deal now it's your turn, I will return the money at my convenience. Please show yourselves out now." 

I was impressed by Susan but it was better to cut ties with the snake when given the chance otherwise it will come back to bite us. So, transferring $40 million to Susan's account I said, "Susan pay her back we don't need her money anymore." 

Susan had already received the notification of the money transfer from her grimoire and seemed to have the same idea as me. She transferred the $20 million she owed to Melinda and with a humble smile she said, "Mrs Melinda, thank you for the help and pleasure doing business with you."

"No, the pleasure is mine" Melinda responded with a professional smile and turned to me while sending a friend invite to my grimoire adding, "Mr Wyatt when you are done playing small, give me a call."

I replied, "If I change my mind I will let you know." 

Before leaving she looked at Corey who was still holding a tray full of refreshments and said, "you are not the Corey I know, who are you?" 

Hearing this Corey's face went pale and her hands trembled slightly before regaining calmness, her reaction caused Melinda to raise an eyebrow. But Melinda did not think much of it and left.

Walking out of the warehouse Melinda made a call, 

"Old man, Corey is surrounded with good company. But for the princess of the Bright family to work as a maid isn't a bit…" Melinda dragged her voice not knowing how to express her negation without angering the old man.

"I don't care, my granddaughter wants to experience life, then let her." Said William Bright arrogantly 

"I don't care either, I am tired of acting the villain. You should have seen her glare at me as if I am the enemy, that unfilial niece. I fed her my breast milk for 7 months when her mother was out on a mission." 

"Ahem!"

"Don't clear your throat at me. You men all are the same, didn't you have a mother… anyway I just lost an excellent slave because of your overindulgence, how are you planning to compensate me." 

"How about you get to inform Kitty that I am retiring and that I am giving her the family."

"What? Old man have you gone senile, family is not yours to give it to mother-in-law. You both run the family together. If you retire then she will be the head of the family automatically."

"Whatever I am retiring, let me grow old peacefully watching my granddaughter grow." 

"Sure fine with me, but I can't say the same about the elders and the rest of the family, especially the men in the family." 

"Just warn them not to disturb my retirement." 

'Tut tut tut…'

Bright family hierarchy is unlike any other family, ever since the rule of War golem twins the family has always had two leaders, this era the leaders were William and his wife Kitty. William's unexpected retirement now was earth-shattering news for the family and the Sky blossom city.
