Chapter 94
Eda’s blood began to boil; She deeply hated injustices and couldn’t allow something like this to happen.
“How?” He asked, disbelief in his eyes.
Marie let out a sigh of resignation and continued:
“Yes, that’s right. The worst part of the case is that we have just learned that this miscreant sold these premises to a billionaire businessman, who wants to tear down our premises and build a huge shopping mall in their place.
“We can’t allow that. Eda felt a knot in her stomach as she heard Marie’s words. The situation seemed bleak, and the implications were daunting.
“My child,” Marie said in a trembling voice, “the judge who is coming to evict us told us that we have everything to lose because this millionaire has all the legal documents in his favor. These places are a heritage of the town, and with a shopping center, which is what this man wants to do, he will take nature away from this town. In addition, we were swindled by Mr. Leonardo; A group of us went to his house, but he doesn’t want to attend to them. He hired a group of men who don’t allow anyone near them.
Eda nodded; her brow furrowed in indignation. It was clear that they were facing a legal fight. But Eda knew she could not stand idly by in the face of such injustice. Boldly, he promised Marie.
“Don’t worry, Marie. Let’s find a way to fight this. These places are our home, and we will not allow anyone to take them away from us without a fight. In addition, we will do whatever it takes to preserve the beauty of our village.
Marie looked at Eda with gratitude and appreciation in her eyes.
“Now I need the address of the new owner to explain what happened to us and to be able to convince him to leave the premises as they are,” Eda said.
“I’ll get you the address,” Marie said, and ran off to the judge who was present notifying the landlords of the eviction.
Sabrina, worried, approached Eda and voiced her concerns:
“You’re crazy, Eda. That man is probably surrounded by bodyguards. Less you’ll be able to see it.
Eda looked at her bravely, the passion of indignation burning within her.
“I must at least try, Sabrina. Besides, I think it’s an injustice what they’re doing to us. We cannot sit idly by. We are going to fight for our places and for the essence of this town that is now our home.
At that moment, Marie came running up to Eda and handed her a piece of paper.
“Here’s the address and the businessman’s name,” said Marie, her face saddened. I hope that something can be done.
Eda took the paper in her right hand and read it silently, “Magnus Graties,” whispering the name disdainfully.
“That’s your name, you wretch,” he muttered quietly.
“What did you say?” Marie asked, not having heard clearly what Eda said.
“Nothing, Marie. “I have to go,” Eda replied hurriedly.
He ran four blocks home, pulled into the garage, and got into his SUV. He drove for two hours in the direction of the city.
Arriving at the address indicated, Eda parked her SUV in the parking lot of the imposing building. As she exited the vehicle, she stood in front of the structure, which stood tall and imposing in the cityscape. The black facade and the name “Wolf Alpha Graties” made her startle for a moment. She stood thoughtfully, pondering whether she should go in or not.
After a brief meditation, he decided to face the situation and walked towards the reception of the place. He watched the people coming in in smart suits and noticed the difference in their attire: a simple white T-shirt, worn jeans, white sneakers, and a bandit where he carried his documentation. Despite feeling out of place, her rage and desire for justice drove her to keep going.
“Good afternoon, miss. I have come to speak to Mr. Magnus Graties. Would you be so kind as to let you know if you request it?
The woman rose from her seat and examined Eda up and down, letting out a contemptuous laugh.
“Look, little woman, you don’t even get to the maintenance area with those looks. Who are you to ask to speak to the CEO of this company?
Eda was undeterred by the woman’s arrogant attitude and replied firmly.
“I’m Eda Blue, owner of one of the shops in the area that Mr. Graties plans to demolish, I don’t think my dress is an impediment to talking to him. With her words, Eda made it clear that she would not be belittled by her appearance.
The woman at the counter continued with her contemptuous attitude:Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“I’m here not to let cheap excuses like you pass by.
The woman’s disdainful response did not surprise Eda, who, knowing that the situation was getting more complicated, decided not to waste any more time. He saw two people waiting by the elevator some distance away and thought, “It’s now or never.”
“I’ve understood that you’re not going to let me in.
“If you know, what are you still doing standing there?” If you don’t retreat right now, I’ll send you out safely.
Eda, seeing the elevator doors open, gave the woman a sarcastic smile. He ran and nimbly jumped the turnstiles and ran back to the elevator. As they were about to close, she reached in and walked in, slamming the door in the face of the security guards coming toward her. The boys who were there looked at her in surprise.
“Guys, don’t look at me like that. I don’t bring weapons and I’m not going to eat them. Could you ask them to please mark the floor of CEO Magnus Graties? I won’t get them in trouble, I’ll blame myself.
One of them took out his card and marked the top floor. When the door opened, he said before leaving:
“We’re staying here. I’ve already marked the floor of the presidency for him.
Eda gave a thankful smile to the two people who came out before the doors closed. However, something inside her made her feel uneasy, as if there was more at stake than it seemed. The elevator doors opened, and she stepped out.
He walked down the hall until he stopped in front of a door that said “presidency.” Looking back, she saw two men approaching her and the secretary, who was rising from her seat. Without hesitation, she acted quickly. He ran to the door, turned the handle, and walked into the office.
Eda walked into the imposing office and found three men. One of them was sitting in a large chair, while the other two took positions next to him. Eda glanced at them, but her attention was focused on the man in the middle, who stood up, and her inner she-wolf whispered, “Our mate.” A chill ran down her spine, and she swallowed, feeling overwhelmed by the sudden and powerful connection.
Before he could react or process what had happened, the man, who stood out for his imposing stature and attractiveness, screamed.
“The meeting is over. Get out of here right now.
Five security guards burst into the office, two of them grabbing Eda from each side to force her out. One of the guards reported.
“Sir, excuse me, this intruder broke in, but we’ll get her out of the company.
The man, with a menacing look, exclaimed.
“Let go of her and get out of here, everybody.”
“But, sir, this woman may hurt you; it’s dangerous. One of the men tried to argue.
“You didn’t listen, get out of my office and close the door. I’ll take care of the young lady.
The guards, with fearful expressions on their faces, looked at each other and left the office along with the other people.
