    Everyone stood in shock. That was impossible. There was no way Rabena was able to setup a business proposal savvy enough to catch the attention of Aaron Michales. This had to be a mistake. Amber shook her head refusing to believe it.


    “That’s a <i>lie</i><i>! </i><i>There </i><i>is </i><i>no </i>way <i>that </i><i>useless </i><i>brat </i><i>was </i><i>able </i><i>to </i><i>set </i><i>something like </i><i>that </i><i>up</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Thomas couldn’t help butugh, was it always this three ring circus regarding Rabena?


    “So, <i>you’re </i><i>using </i><i>Chairman </i><i>Michaels </i><i>of </i><i>lying</i>? <i>What </i><i>would </i><i>be </i><i>the </i><i>reason</i><i>?</i><i>” </i><fna068> This content belongs to find?novel</fna068>


    Amber’s eyes bulked, she didn’t know how to respond. Davis suddenly spoke up.


    “<i>Thomas</i>, <i>maybe </i><i>you </i><i>misheard </i><i>someone</i><i>, </i><i>there’s </i><i>no </i><i>way </i><i>Rabena </i><i>would </i><i>be </i><i>able </i><i>to </i><i>do </i><i>something </i>like that<i>. </i><i>Maybe </i>the <i>Chairman </i><i>did </i><i>lie </i>to see <i>how </i><i>you </i><i>would </i><i>react</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Thomas was beyond annoyed; these people truly were delusional. A sharp pain stung in his chest; he thought about all the times everyone including himself would gang up on Rabena like this.


    “<i>What </i><i>would </i><i>be </i><i>the </i><i>reason </i><i>Davis</i><i>? </i><i>What </i><i>would </i><i>he </i><i>have </i><i>possibly </i><i>gained </i><i>by </i><i>lying</i>? <i>How </i><i>would </i><i>he </i><i>even </i><i>know </i><i>to </i><i>lie</i>. <i>Neither </i><i>one </i>of <i>our </i><i>families are </i><i>significant </i><i>enough</i><i>.</i><b><i>” </i></b>


    Davis’s eyes darkened, he didn’t like hearing how insignificant he waspared to Aaron Michales. Daniel


    chimed in.


    <i>“</i>Did Rabena <i>tell </i><i>you </i><i>this </i><i>in </i><i>an </i><i>attempt </i>to <i>discredit </i><i>Dani</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>


    “I haven’t spoken <i>to </i><i>Rabena </i>in <i>over </i><i>two </i>weeks.”


    Danielle, still sobbing loudly, finally spoke.


    “Tommy, I don’t <i>know </i><i>what’s </i>going on <i>but </i><i>why </i><i>would </i><i>I </i>lie? <i>You </i><i>know </i><i>I </i>wrote that proposal for you. Did Rabena put you up to this <i>in </i>attempt to get <i>back </i>at me?<i>” </i>


    Amber chimed in again.


    “That’s exactly what <i>happened</i>! That little runt is <i>trying </i><i>to </i><i>ruin </i><i>my </i>beautiful daughter because she’s jealous<i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Darius began to look at his family with pure disgust. Is this what we have been doing the past five years? Allowing Rabena to be the punching bag for all of Dani’s failures? Growing irritated, he finally spoke.


    “<i>There’s </i>a simple <i>way </i><i>to </i>resolve this and verify who’s lying.”


    All eyes went on Dairus as he leaned against the wall. Looking at his family with disdain, his thoughts kept going back to Rabena. ‘Is this how we all look to you in your eyes Rabena?‘ Daniel looked at his brother


    irritated.


    <i>“</i><i>So</i><i>, </i><i>what’s </i>your <i>bright </i><i>idea </i><i>Darius</i>?”


    Darius looked over at Thomas who was now staring at Danielle as if he hated her.


    “Thomas, do you have a copy of <i>the </i>proposal<i>?</i><i>” </i>


    Thomas looked over at Darius with a puzzled expression.


    <i>“</i><i>Yes</i>. <i>I </i><i>have </i><i>it </i><i>right </i><i>here</i><i>.</i>”


    <i>“</i><i>Good</i>.<i>” </i>Darius looked over at Danielle who was still crying.


    “Dani, <i>tell </i><i>us </i><i>all </i><i>what’s </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>proposal</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    The room grew quiet. Danielle’s tears and sobs instantly stopping. She had a look of shock on her face as her color began to drain. She hadn’t expected Darius to say that. He was always the first to defend her. Thomas was now smiling, he should have thought of that.


    “Go ahead <i>Danielle</i>. <i>Since </i><i>you </i>wrote <i>this </i><i>proposal </i><i>for </i><i>me</i><i>, </i><i>you </i><i>should </i><i>know </i><i>everything </i><i>in </i><i>it</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Amber spoke up again.


    “There’s <i>no </i>way she <i>could </i><i>remember </i><i>all </i><i>of </i><i>that </i><i>junk</i><i>! </i><i>Darius</i>, <i>stop </i><i>this</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Thomas looked at Amber with disgust in his eyes.


    “Mrs. Crest, <i>this </i><i>proposal </i><i>was </i><i>done </i><i>immactely</i><i>, </i><i>it </i><i>was </i>so <i>thoroughly </i><i>detailed </i><i>that </i><i>Crest </i><i>Realty </i><i>Development </i>would have been able <i>to </i><i>benefit </i><i>from </i><i>this </i><i>deal </i><i>as </i><i>well</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Suddenly Davis lifted his face, the possibility of him partnering with MGT sparked him up.


    <i>“</i>What do you mean by <i>that</i><i>? </i><i>Do </i><i>Chaiman </i><i>Michaels </i><i>also </i><i>want </i>to do <i>a </i>development deal for real estate <i>with </i>Crest<i>? </i>What was in <i>the </i>proposal<i>?</i><i>” </i>
