Chapter 137 Title Deeds
Avery knocked on Siyabonga’s door and entered the office. Siyabonga was inundated with work. When he saw Avery, he smiled brightly and said, “What a pleasant surprise my dearest sister.”
Avery smiled and replied, “I miss you, big brother.” Siyabonga kissed her on both cheeks and led her to the sofa. He looked at her and asked, “Do you want something to eat?”
Avery shook her head and said, “I had lunch with Jordan, I am not hungry.” Siyabonga was aware of Jordan Bennet, and he didn’t like him.
Siyabonga looked at Avery and asked, “Last time you told me that Jordan had sent his business plan to several companies, has he received any response?”
Avery shook her head and replied, “He sent me his business plan and it was not well written. I asked my father to help him set up his company.
I don’t know the details of the contract, but Dad told me that he was supposed to meet my God grandfather and his team, but Jordan canceled on them at the last minute.”
Siyabonga was shocked to hear that CEO Martins helped Jordan to establish his company. He looked at Avery and replied, “CEO Martins gave Jordan the Airport tender, ten billion rand, five thousand Construction workers, and Construction Machinery.”
Avery was dumbfounded and replied, “I just bought him a Mercedes-Benz CLA Coupé. I also promised to give him two properties.” Then she handed the Title Deeds documents to Siyabonga.
Siyabonga looked at Avery and asked, “Do you want me to keep these documents for you?” Avery nodded her head, “Please don’t give me these documents even if I threaten to kill myself.
I have a feeling that one day, Jordan will ask me to transfer these properties in his name. If I want to take them back from you, please remind me of the sacrifices my father has made for me.
Big brother, I love him so much but sometimes I feel that he approached me because I come from a wealthy family. While we were eating, I saw a hint of impatient and arrogance in Jordan’s eyes.”
Siyabonga’s face darkened and replied, “I will keep these documents in my safe at the bank. My beautiful sister, besides Jordan’s handsome face what is there to love?”
Avery smiled and replied, “I love beautiful things, big brother. I fell in love with his handsome face.”
Siyabonga sneered, “Baby sister, what will you do if you can see Xavier Taylor’s handsomeness? He looks like a painting. I went to his company for an audition. They were looking for a model.
He was coming from a meeting with his managers. I have never seen anyone so handsome.”
Avery smiled sweetly and replied, “I was at his wedding with my father and my heart nearly stopped. His handsomeness is on another level. I still have his photo on my phone.” Then she showed her brother, Xavier’s photo.
Siyabonga was dumbfounded and asked, “Why are you having Xavier’s photo on your phone? I heard that he is not happy in his marriage. His mother-in-law is making all the decisions for them.
Xavier married his wife because he wanted to make his mother happy. Xavier loved his mother very much. However, I don’t think their marriage would last.”
Avery was shocked to hear that, she thought Xavier had married the love of his life. Her heart ached for handsome Xavier. She made a silent prayer and asked the Lord to sustain their marriage.
Avery looked at Siyabonga and said, “Big brother, let me help you clear your desk.” Then she took some of the files and started working.
Two hours later, she bade him goodbye and walked to her father’s office to tell him that she was leaving. Then she went home with her family driver. She heaved a sigh of relief to know that her Title Deeds were in safe hands.
When they arrived home, Avery went to find Aunt Bridgette, but she wasn’t in her bedroom. She was sitting on the balcony with a book in her hand.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Avery hugged her tightly and said, “Aunt Bridge, please don’t be angry with me. I just bought Jordan a car; it cost me a million rand. Also, I promised to give him two properties. However, I handed the Title Deeds to Siyabonga to keep them for me.
I am just lending him the properties. My father set up a company for him and he gave him a lot of money and the Martins Group skilled workers. Should he betray me I will take back everything that I have given him.
Aunt Bridgette smiled and replied, “I hope Jordan will treat you as a treasure, Sweetheart. Not because of the things you have done for him, but because he values you.”
Avery smiled at her aunt and replied, “Time will tell, Aunt Bridge. I hope I didn’t fall in love with the wrong man.”
At the Bennet house, Jordan’s mother was sitting in her son’s car with tears in her eyes. Jordan told his mother that the company gave him the car as part of incentives.
He also told his beloved mother that he would buy her the biggest house at Umhlanga before the end of the week. Unbeknownst to her, her beloved son was lying through his teeth.
His mother was sitting in the car and her eyes were at her neighbour’s house, the Sparrow family. She wanted to visit them to gloat.
Later the Sparrow couple went to the Bennet family to congratulate them. Mr Sparrow looked at Mr Bennet and said, “Congratulations, my friend. We saw a luxury car outside and we couldn’t contain our excitement. Well done, Jordan.”
Before her husband responded, Mrs Bennet looked at her friend, Becky Sparrow, and replied, “Becky, don’t lose hope the Lord will remember your family too. My son promised me that he would buy us the biggest house at Umhlanga soon. I am overjoyed.”
Becky smiled brightly and replied, “The Lord has been faithful to our family. He has opened the door for my son as well. We are grateful to the Lord for opening your door too. I trust that the good Lord has great things that He has in store for us.
Congratulations on buying the new car, Jordan. Luca told us about the company as well. Luca wanted to support his best friend, but he felt that he would damage his reputation should he leave the company as soon as he found something better. He was scared of dragging his best friend’s company down.”
Mrs Bennet was annoyed when she saw that there was no jealousy in Becky’s eyes. She was happy for them. It was clear that she was not pretending.
