“You? You created Susan’s Origin card.” Asked a mature lady in confusion wearing a sweater with a deep V-neck exposing her bountiful bosom more than appropriate.
This was the 5th time she asked me the same question but I forgive her as the saying goes bigger the breasts smaller the brains.
She was repeatedly asking me the same thing like a stuck record player, maybe some spanking would help her move forward.
“Yes, yes I did” I answered looking at two huge white meat mountains, don’t get me wrong it’s just that her ample bosom had blocked my entire field of vision, after all, she stood right in front of me.
This was the first time in this life I was not annoyed with my small height, front row tickets to the best show ever who will complain.
It has been a while for me and not to mention my new teenage body which gets excited for no apparent reason, therefore my mind is overall the place lately.
Peeling my eyes from the meat mountains wobbling in front of me with her every breath, I peeked at Susan to my shock, she gave me a knowing smile. It seems she will be of no help.
Corey who walked in with refreshment looked at the mature lady and said, “Auntie Melinda, what are you doing here?”
“What a surprise, Corey my dear niece. Is this how you greet your elder, where are your Bright family manners?”
“Auntie, I don’t have time to play your games. Does Uncle Oliver know you are here?” Corey threatened Melinda using her uncle’s name.
“Why should he know, am I supposed to report to him before leaving the house.
Don’t worry I am not here for you, you know I am starting a designer label so I want to recruit the genius card creationist that appeared in the last week’s auction.” Melinda explained.
“…” Corey did not believe her aunt, she has seen enough to know what her aunt is capable of if not for her grandparent’s fondness for her, she would be one of Melinda’s victims.
Melinda knew Corey did not believe her but she did not care as she was done here, now that all the pieces are in place she turned to Susan and said, “I will be expecting the armours by tomorrow, any delay and you will be hearing from my lawyer.”
Hearing Melinda, Susan was confused and asked, “what armours?”
“The ones for which I loaned you the money, did you forget so soon” Melinda replied lethargically.
“What? You seem to have forgotten there was no such deal between us. You loaned me the money for zero interest to get introduced to the card creationist of my origin card.” Susan was a veteran in this field and quickly understood what was happening.
Susan trusts others but she was not dumb, alas in Melinda’s case she seems to has fallen into a trap. She chose to accept the loan from Melinda on a verbal agreement trusting the reputation of the Bright family name, how could she know that a member of the city’s prominent family will play rogue with her.
“No sweetie, I loaned you the money because you promised me the armours otherwise why would I give you a zero-interest loan. I have grimoire records of the money transfer, it’s too late for you want to back out.”
…
Melinda attended Susan’s auction at the request of her husband with some of her friends, while the crowd was mesmerised by Susan and the perfect rating cards, she had her eyes on the card creationist behind these perfect rating cards.
Seeing how the card creationist chose Susan to auction his card rather than any other popular auction managers it can be seen that their relationship between Susan and the card creationist is not simple.
Melinda was not worried that she would offend the card creationist because if the card creationist was powerful or equal to the Bright family behind her he would have directly used his/her name to get Susan out of trouble, rather than helping Susan while hiding his/her identity.
Therefore she got close to Susan by showing interest in her origin card but no matter how much she seduced Susan, she could not crack her. Until Susan called her asking for a loan from the Bright family.
Seeing an opportunity Melinda laid the trap, by loaning Susan money under the Bright family name with just a verbal agreement.
Now all Melinda had to do was wait till Susan had spent all the money and then reveal her cards, leaving Susan with three options
The first way is to return every penny of the loan, the second way is negotiating with Melinda and the third way is to meet in court.
Melinda knew having spend the money Susan could not afford the first way if Susan could she would not have asked for the loan in the first place and as for the third way,
Verbal agreements are legally enforceable in the court of law but in case of a dispute or a suit, it is a difficult task for the court to ascertain the true nature of facts and terms of the agreement, without the invasion of bias. For a big and prominent family like the Bright family, this was nothing and would easily turn the odds in their favour. Resulting in Susan getting fined, owe a huge debt and charged with other charges.
Since they could not afford the first and the third way, Susan will have no choice but to negotiate with Melinda to unfavourable terms or go to jail.
Holding Susan in her palms Melinda would indirectly get an excellent card creationist salve.
Even if all this doesn’t work it was worth the try, all Melinda lost was a little money, she would spend twice that amount in an evening.
