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 lie! There is no way that useless brat was able to set something like that up!”

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

“So, you’re accusing Chairman Michaels of lying? What would be the reason?”

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

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

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.

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

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

chimed in.

“Did Rabena tell you this in an attempt to discredit Dani?”

“I haven’t spoken to Rabena in over two weeks.”

Danielle, still sobbing loudly, finally spoke.

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

Amber chimed in again.

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

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.

“There’s a simple way to 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.

“So, what’s your bright idea Darius?”

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

“Thomas, do you have a copy of the proposal?”

Thomas looked over at Darius with a puzzled expression.

“Yes. I have it right here.”

“Good.” Darius looked over at Danielle who was still crying.

“Dani, tell us all what’s in the proposal.”

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 Danielle. Since you wrote this proposal for me, you should know everything in it.”

Amber spoke up again.

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

Thomas looked at Amber with disgust in his eyes.

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

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

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