Chapter 56
Chapter 56 The First Person To Touch Her Dies
Her father had called her a day before that he wanted her to serve her at a special asion, she refused
at first but he insisted she must do it to gain his favor. No matter what, Amy still loved her father and of
course wanted his favour. It’s not because of his money, she just wanted to be in a good terms with her
father. She had to agree to him thinking that she will just serve him as he wanted and leave afterwards.
She had no idea that he had a n of disgracing her.
“Dad, why are you doing this to me? You were not like this when mum was alive,” Amy said to
everyone’s surprise. “Are you alright, Amy? Did you know what you are saying? Are you trying to tarnish
the mayor’s image by iming to be his daughter? ha! He was just trying to help your despicable life yet
you dare to call him your father,” Edith said. “There was a woman who use to be the Mayor’s wife before
you, Mrs. Edith, perhaps, that woman is her mother,” one of the rich men who knew the Owen’s family
spoke.
“What! Yes I did have a wife in the past but she died out of depression cause she was barren, she
couldn’t produce a baby. My
first wife didn’t have a baby. This is my new wife, Edith and she already has a daughter for me. That
daughter is my only daughter,” Carlton immediately cleared the air. Thest thing he wanted was a
criticism against his name. He was upying a very sensitive position. A mayor of the entire city.
“So, Mr. Please know that you can’t understand the Owen’s family matter more than the mayor,” Edith
said to the man who just spoke in defense of Amy.
“Actually, all our wine are very tasteful and infact, are the original ones. They were served from the same
source,” Jacob said.
“Oh! did Mr. Jacob think I’m lying about the taste of the drink, then please drink,” Carlton gestured to the
drink before him.
Jacob sighed and picked from the cup of wine before Jacob and drank, he quickly spat it away and drop
the cup on the table, “What! such a tasteless drink!” he said. “But this isn’t tasteless,” someone who had
tasted from the wine that other servers had served said. “Even this taste so good,” another woman said
from another table. One of the server approached Mr. Jacob and said,” sir, please taste this.” Jacob took
from the cup and tasted it, “oh my! this taste so good.” He said as he dropped the cup of wine on the
table. “What’s the reason for the change of taste? Are they not from the same source?” Jacob asked,
confused. “Yes they are but I think Miss Amy intentionally served this people a tasteless drink cause we
found out that only her drink taste different,” the server who just appeared said.
Amy became even more shocked. How? She didn’t even know what the source of the wine was. She
appeared at the hotel a few
minutes ago and walked straight to where the servers were, this same server speaking was the one who
gestured for what tray she should take. She just picked it up and walked inside the hall but it seemed she
had been framed.
“You dare to serve my guest a tasteless drink? Despite the fact that they helped you secure a job. Did
you know how many people
out there that wished to be a server for today’s meeting?” Jacob’s wife asked angrily.
“Can this woman really do that? Why will she want to be ungrateful to those who helped her,” someone
said to another.
“Doesn’t make any sense, the woman looked simple and innocent.”
“But we never can tell, some women can look simple and innocent yet be vile and despicable, who
knows if the wine is even poisoned?”
“If it is poisoned, Mr. Jacob would have fallen down since he tasted from the drink, I think she did it for a
reason best known to
her, even simple women can be so unpredictable,” The chattering went on and on
“I’ll get you arrested for doing this,” Mr. Jacob said. Edith had a victorious and scornful smirk on her lips
as she looked at Amy whom she beleived she had clearly embarassed. She was the one who persuaded
Carlton to invite her over to the function to serve as a way of gaining his favour and she was the one who
paid the maid to arrange a tasteless drink for her.
Since killing her failed and sending her out of the city did not work, giving her a public embarassment
amidst rich people will work. Disgracing her and making her look like a vile woman before many of the
first ss citizen in the country should work and it’s working right before her. Also, she beleived thatN?velDrama.Org owns all content.
Broderick will see the whole event from where he sit and also despise her even more cause she was well
aware that Broderick and her daughter wereing to the function. “I was framed up, I will never do this
to my father and…although Mrs. Edith is my stepmother, I’ll never stoop so low to serve them a tasteless
wine. I had onlye here today to serve my father cause he requested of me to as a way of honouring
him but he clearly keeps rejecting me, though it hurts, but I’ll live with it,” Amy said. “Lies! I got you a job
and you paid me back by serving me a tasteless drink! you daughter of a …” Her father paused. “Bitch!”
Edith helped himplete it.
Although Carlton was deceived to beleive that Amy was not his daughter, deep down, he really wished
that she was. But thinking that the child he raised for many years wasn’t his daughter hurts him and
makes him angry at the same time. “Yes,” Carlton agreed to Edith, even himself did not know why he
couldn’tplete his statement,” Mr. Jacob, what are you waiting for, get her arrested already.”
“Let me prove to you that I’m not here for a job,” Amy brought out her ID CARD and showed it to Mr.
Jacob,” as you can see, I’m
the third personal assistant to Mr. Broderick Alessandro of Alessandro’s corporation.” What Amy said
was like a bomb.
“That can’t be true,” someone shouted. “Never! this simple woman? Personal assistant? Never!” another
screamed.
“This woman knows how to lie, she even dare to associate herself with Mr. Broderick Alessandro.”
“But Mr. Broderick Alessandro is here, shouldn’t we let him speak for himself.”
Everyone then set their gaze on Broderick who had been watching calmly and keenly since the whole
scene started.
“She’s right. She’s my third personal assistant.” Broderick said.
Everyone was shocked, it was so unbelievable to many of them cause Amy was not dressed in an
elegant cloth. The clothes she was wearing made her look like amoner. “Mr. Carlton, Miss. Amy can
not be a personal assistant to Mr Broderick and stille for this kind of job, never!” someone said.
“Yes, it’s impossible. Mr. Carlton, will you mind exining for us?”
Jacob became confused, he had thought that Amy wouldn’t be able to refute any of his usations
cause he knew she had a soft spot for him but here was she defending herself.
“Greed!” Her father suddenly said,” if I knew that you were a personal assistant to Mr. Broderick, why will
I bother myself to help you secure a job? First, you regarded yourself as my daughter, secondly, I helped
you out thinking you were amoner then you suddenly brought out prove of who you really are. Can I
ask who send you to tarnish my image?” Carlton asked. “It must be one of your enemies. As a mayor, it’s
expected that out will have many enemies who will always try to bring you down,” Edith said. Amy wasn’t
really concerned about Edith, it was understandable if she hates her but why will her father hates her to
the extent of wanting to cause her public disgrace? Was this what he meant by she will regret it if she did
not agree to leave NorthHill. She’s too young to let her image get tarnished before all these people. “Mr.
Carlton, since you think I’m a stranger, does that mean we have only met once before?” Amy asked.
“Only the day I saw you crying on the street and tried to help you, that was the first time I saw you and I
helped like a good man that I am,” Carlton said.
“Wow!” Amy eximed and brought out her phone then opened her gry, it contained pictures she took
with her father when
she was young and the one that even her mother was present.
“Can you turn on your Bluetooth, Mr. Jacob? I want to send you some pictures, you can then send it to
everyone here,” Amy said
and Jacob turned to his wife for suggestion. His wife nodded, giving him the go ahead then he turned on
his Bluetooth and once
both phones connected, Amy sent about ten pictures,
Hoe was wondering what Amy was up to, he was scared expecially when he saw Jacob furrowed his
brow. Jacob sent the
picture to everyone present and they all began to exim in shock. “Mr. Carlton, did you not im to
meet Amy for the first time a few days ago? Yet this is a picture of both of you when you were young,
infact another picture is you with her and another woman,” someone said.
Carlton’s body became heated, he didn’t know how to defend himself again. If it’s obvious that he lied,
people won’t trust him
anymore.
Carlton has sweat formed quickly on his forehead. Edith knew that if Jacob leave here ashamed, he
would put the me on her ’cause she was the one who persuaded him to do this so she suddenly
laughed,” this picture is clearly Photoshoped. This woman named Amy really came prepared today.
Those who sent her must be so smart.”
Carlton heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Edith defend her, his reputation was almost going down
the drain.
“That’s right.” Carlton said and then looked at Amy,” did you think people will beleive I have a past with
you with some photoshopped pictures? Mr. Jacob, get this woman arrested, she’s beginning to irritate
me,” Carlton shouted. “Imagine her trying to use me of all sort of scandals after serving my wife and I
tasteless drink.”
Jacob ced a call across to the chief of police at once andmanded,”e over to my hotel now
and arrest a nuisance.”
A nuisance? Broderick thought. He beleived Amy was right and innocent and that her father and her
stepmother were only trying to frame her up. How could they be so despicable. Amy could not afford to
look at Broderick She actually didn’t know that Broderick will be present in this function otherwise, she
would have denied the offer. She beleived that Broderick must be so angry with her now but Broderick
wasn’t angry with her at all, he was rather angry at people trying to frame her up
The door barged open immediately and two Police officers walked in, “Who is the nuisance, sir?” one of
the police officers asked.
“This woman,” Jacob pointed to Amy.
As the police approached Amy, Broderick spoke with anger,” the first person to touch her dies.”
