Arrogant Billionaire Son Humiliated His Fiancée—The Maid Did What No One Expected

PART 2:

 You’ve become even more handsome. No wonder the girls abroad didn’t let you rest. ‘ Mom, you’re still the same. I prayed every day for this moment. ‘ Welcome home, my son. ‘ It’s good to be back. ‘ You look every inch like the future owner of Adam’s group. ‘ I hope dad is finally ready to hand everything over. ‘ We’ll talk about that in the car.

 So, tell me everything. How was London? ‘ Amazing. The parties, the lifestyle. Honestly, coming back almost feels strange. ‘ You’ll get used to it quickly. Nigeria has been waiting for you. ‘ I can’t wait to take over dad’s company. ‘ Your father is becoming difficult. He keeps saying a leader must have character.

 Sometimes I wonder if he forgets you’re his own son. ‘ Dad worries too much. ‘ Exactly. You don’t owe anybody explanations. ‘ That’s why I like talking to you, Mom. You always understand me. ‘ Don’t worry. Whatever your father is planning, I’ll handle him. Nothing will stop you from inheriting everything he has built. ‘ M I’ve missed this.

‘ I knew you would. ‘ One thing I miss most about Nigeria is our food. Home food tastes different. ‘ Nobody cooks like Nigerian. ‘ Sarah. Sarah. Where is this woman? ‘ Yes, madam. Pour water for him. ‘ Sarah, are you blind? I’m sorry, madam. ‘ Sorry for yourself. Clean that up and get out of my sight.

‘ Yes, madam. ‘ Mom, does she plan to work here forever? ‘ Where else will she go? ‘ Seriously, she’s been here for over 15 years. I’ve seen maids come and go because they couldn’t survive you. But Sarah is still here. ‘ She is. She has no choice. Besides, your father is the one paying for her daughter’s education.

‘ Talking about her daughter, where is she? ‘ She stays in her university hostel now. She’s already in her third year. ‘ Dad has really done a lot for them. He paid for her secondary school. Now he’s paying for university, too. ‘ You know, your father sometimes I think he cares more about strangers than his own family.

‘ That’s dad for you. Always trying to save the whole world. ‘ Good morning, Dad. Good morning. Please sit. Mom said you wanted to see me. Yes. You have finished school. You’ve traveled the world. Now it’s time to face real life. I’m ready. Are you? Because from everything I’ve seen, I don’t think you’re ready to manage anything.

 You spend money without thinking. You move from one woman to another. You don’t stay focused on anything for long. You have no discipline and you believe money solves every problem. Dad, you’re exaggerating. You spend money without thinking. You move from one woman to another. You don’t stay focused on anything for long. You have no discipline and you believe money solves every problem.

 Dad, you’re exaggerating. I studied business management. I’m qualified to run this company. Dylan, what a man studies does not always determine the kind of life he will live. Neither does it guarantee success. Many people have degrees. Very few have discipline, and without discipline, knowledge becomes useless. You’ve worried too much.

 I’ve learned a lot abroad. Trust me, I can handle any position you give me. Very well, I will give you a very important position in this company. And if you prove yourself, I’ll begin transferring major shares of Adam’s group to you. Now we’re talking. I knew you’d eventually see things my way. I’m not finished. You must get married, not just to any woman, to a decent, focused, responsible young woman.

 Someone whose character can influence your life for good. Is that all, Dad? Finding a wife isn’t difficult. I can bring one home next week. You better not bring me one of your kind. My kind? Spoiled, proud, careless. If the woman lacks discipline, I will not approve her. So, you’ll investigate whoever I choose? Yes, I’ll find out everything about her.

 Her values, her character, everything. Dad, am I the one getting married or are you? I’m old enough to know the kind of woman I want in my life. Dylan, this company is my life’s work. I built it with sweat, sleepless nights, and sacrifices. I will not watch anyone destroy it in a single day. You have 3 months.

 Bring me a woman of character. If you succeed, you’ll have your position and the major shares. If you fail, don’t expect either. You’ll have your wife. Just wait and see. Good afternoon, Mom. ‘ How did it go? ‘ Dad has his own plans. He said before I can get a vital position in the company, I must get married.

 He’s not even talking about handing over the company to me yet. ‘ Marriage? Is that all? ‘ Not just marriage. He said he’ll investigate any woman I bring. She must be disciplined, focused, and have good character. You’re a handsome young man. Getting a wife shouldn’t be difficult. ‘ That’s what I thought, too.

 But most of the women I know are even worse than I am. All they care about is parties, clubbing, shopping, and spending money. ‘ Then stop looking among those ones. I’ll speak to my friends. Many of them have beautiful daughters. I’ll introduce you to a few of them. One of them should be perfect. ‘ I hope so, because that sounded very serious.

‘ Your father worries too much. Sometimes I don’t understand him. He’s getting old. Does he expect strangers to struggle this company with his own son after he’s gone? ‘ That’s why I enjoy talking to you, Mom. You understand me better than dad? ‘ Of course I do. You’re my only son. Everything your father has built belongs to you.

 Don’t let anyone make you think otherwise. We’ll find you a wife. After that, your father will have no excuse left. My father has made my life difficult. He said before I get a vital position in the company, I must get married. That’s all. You have girlfriends everywhere. Call one of those girls abroad. One of them will gladly marry you.

 That’s exactly what I was thinking. Let’s settle this once and for all. ‘ Hello. ‘ Hey, Ashley. I’ve been thinking. I think it’s time we got married. ‘ Marry you? God forbid. I’d rather stay single. I’m not leaving the UK to marry someone like you in Nigeria. You’re a serial cheat, Dylan. It’s not worth it. ‘ Wrong choice. Let’s try another one.

‘ Why are you calling me? I told you never to contact me again. ‘ I just wanted us to talk. ‘ Talk about what? I still can’t believe I dated a cheat like you. Please lose my number. ‘ This is getting interesting. Keep quiet. ‘ Hi, Dylan. What’s up? ‘ I want to settle down. Will you marry me? Dating, maybe marriage.

 No, I need a mature man. Someone stable, not someone who thinks everyone is a side chick. Good luck. ‘ What’s all this? Dylan, you must be a terrible person. You’ve called more than 10 girlfriends, yet not one of them wants to marry you. Instead of laughing, find a solution. Okay, let’s think. Hello. Bring up ideas.

 I’ll organize a few blind dates. You might meet someone decent. And if that doesn’t work, then stop chasing rich girls. Look for a poor girl, a low-ass girl, someone who has struggled all her life. Okay? Show her this lifestyle. She’ll endure anything just to escape poverty. ‘ You know that’s not a bad idea. Trust me, poor girls appreciate opportunities more than rich girls.

‘ It’s nice finally meeting you. ‘ Likewise, mom speaks highly of your family. ‘ She does the same about you. ‘ Good afternoon, sir. Good afternoon, ma’am. May I take your order? Can’t you see we’re talking? I’m sorry, sir. ‘ You could have answered him more politely. ‘ Why? He’s just doing his job.

 So, when we get married, you’ll probably stop working. There won’t be any need. My wife won’t stress herself. You’ll just enjoy life, travel, shop, spend money. ‘ And what if I still want to build my career? ‘ Why? My money is enough. Besides, a wife should follow her husband’s plans. ‘ Mr.

 Adams, you’re not the kind of man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I need a partner, not a controller. Thank you for lunch. Your mother says you’ll soon be working fully in your father’s company. ‘ Not working, running it. Soon enough, everything there will belong to me. ‘ That’s a big responsibility. ‘ It’s easy.

 People obey whoever pays their salary. Watch where you’re going. Do you know how much this suit costs? ‘ I’m sorry. Sorry. It was an accident. ‘ Sorry doesn’t clean designer clothes. Be more careful next time. Go ahead. ‘ Do you always talk to people like that? ‘ Only when they deserve it. ‘ Then this won’t work.

 Character matters to me. I don’t think we’re compatible. I wish you all the best. So, how did it go with the girls I introduced you to? ‘ Don’t even remind me. None of them was interested. ‘ None. Why? ‘ One said I was too proud. Another said I wasn’t mature enough for marriage. The rest weren’t even willing to give me a chance. That’s unbelievable.

 They’re the ones losing. Any sensible woman should be happy to marry into this family. ‘ Apparently, they don’t think so. ‘ Don’t worry. ‘ Good afternoon, Ma. Good afternoon, sir. ‘ Good afternoon, Victoria. How are your studies? ‘ They’re going well, Ma. Thank you. ‘ What is it? ‘ Who was that? ‘ Sarah’s daughter, Victoria.

 She comes home almost every weekend. She’s in her third year at the university now. ‘ That’s Victoria. ‘ Yes. The last time you saw her, she was still a little girl. ‘ Mom. Mom, I think I found the kind of woman dad wants. What do you mean? ‘ Victoria, she’s respectful, focused, well behaved.

 Dad already knows her character. If I marry her, he won’t have any reason to reject her. ‘ Dylan, she’s the daughter of my maid. People in our circle will laugh at us. ‘ I don’t care. I’m not marrying for love. Once I get the position and the company shares, nothing else matters. ‘ I’ll support you. If this is what it takes for your father to hand over the company, but don’t ever mistake this.

You’re marrying her daughter will never make Sarah our equal. ‘ That’s all I wanted to hear. ‘ I’ll ask Sarah to come and see me. Sarah, my son wants to marry your daughter. Madam, are you sure? Master Dylan, he’s not an easy person. Sarah, you should be grateful. Do you know how many women would pray for this opportunity? My son, the heir to Adam’s group, wants to marry your daughter.

 And instead of thanking God, you’re questioning it. This is not the time to start looking for fault. Your daughter is lucky. Very lucky. People in your position don’t reject blessings like this. Madam, forgive me, but Victoria is all I have. I don’t want her to suffer. Enough. We’re one of the richest families in this country.

 She’ll never lack anything. Go and talk to Victoria. Remember, my husband has done so much for both of you. This is your chance to show appreciation. Yes, madam. I’ll speak to her. Good. You may go. Mom, is everything all right? Victoria, Madame Vivian, called me today. What happened? Her son Dylan wants to marry you.

 Me? Yes. She asked me to convince you. No, Mom. I can’t marry Dylan. That’s exactly what I told Madame Vivien. You know the kind of person is. He’s proud, hotteered. He doesn’t respect people. I’ve watched him grow up. I know his character too well. That’s why I told Madame Viviian I don’t support it. Then let’s forget about it.

 My daughter, I’d rather remain a maid than watch you marry a man who won’t value you. Sometimes I wish my father had been alive. Maybe you wouldn’t have struggled alone all these years. Don’t say that. God has carried us this far. He’ll make a way for us. ‘ Good morning, sir. ‘ Good morning, Sarah. Please have a seat. Vivian told me she spoke to you.

 She also told me you don’t support Dylan marrying Victoria. ‘ Sir, I’m only worried. You know his character. ‘ I understand your fears. Truthfully, my son is not perfect. He’s stubborn, proud, and he still has a lot to learn. But Victoria is different. She’s calm, respectful, patient. I’m hoping her good character will influence him.

‘ Sir, even if they get married, how will I continue working here? It won’t look right. How can I remain a maid in my in-laws house? ‘ I’ve already thought about that. The moment the wedding is over, you’ll stop working here. I’ll open a supermarket for you. a big one. You’ll manage it yourself. And that’s not all.

 I’ll also give you one of my duplexes to live in. You deserve to enjoy the rest of your life in peace. ‘ Sir, you’ve already done too much for me. ‘ You’ve served this family faithfully for many years. It’s time your hard work rewarded you. ‘ Thank you, sir. I’ll go and speak to Victoria. ‘ Don’t force her.

 Let the decision come from her heart? ‘ Yes, sir. What happened? Did Madame Vivian call you again? Yes, but this time, Chief Adams also spoke to me. What did he say? He knows Dylan isn’t perfect. He said he’s hoping your good character will change him. Mom, you were the one who said I couldn’t cope with someone like Dylan.

 I know and I meant every word. But you know, Chief Adams, everything we have today is because of him. He paid your school fees from primary school till now. Today, he made me another promise. After the wedding, he’ll retire me from this job. He said he opened a big supermarket for me. He’ll even give me one of his duplexes to live in. He promised all that.

 Yes, my daughter. I’m not asking you because of his promises. I’m asking you because of the man who has shown us kindness for so many years. I don’t want him to feel we’ve repaid his goodness with rejection. If I agree, it won’t be because I love Dylan. It will be because I respect Chief Adams and because I don’t want to disappoint him.

 Sometimes life asks us to make difficult decisions. I only pray this won’t become one we’ll regret. ‘ Victoria, will you marry me? ‘ Yes, I will. [applause] Congratulations, my dear. ‘ Congratulations, Victoria. You’re a very lucky girl. Thank you, ma’am. Take good care of my son. Not everyone gets an opportunity like this.

 I will do my best. Before the wedding, I think Victoria should move into Dylan’s mansion. She needs to understand him, learn how to manage his home, and become a proper wife for a man of Dylan status. Madam, isn’t it too early? I think it’s a good idea. Marriage is about understanding each other. ‘ You both barely know yourselves.

‘ Living in the same house before the wedding will help you become friends. Sarah, I understand why you’re worried. If Victoria were my daughter, I would feel the same way. But don’t misunderstand what we’re saying. I’m not asking them to live like husband and wife. The mansion is big enough. They don’t have to stay in the same room.

Victoria will have her own room until after the wedding. I’ll employ another maid to assist Victoria around the house. She won’t be alone. Victoria, I know this isn’t easy for you. If Dylan does anything you are not comfortable with, come straight to me. Don’t keep it to yourself. Do you understand? ‘ Yes, sir.

‘ Dylan, this is your opportunity to prove that you’ve grown up. Treat Victoria with respect. Don’t forget that she is someone’s daughter. If I hear that you’ve insulted her or made her regret agreeing to this marriage, you will answer to me. Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll take good care of her. Welcome. Your duty is simple.

 You’re here to serve Mr. Dylan and Victoria, respect everyone, and do your job well. ‘ Thank you, sir. ‘ Good. You can go. ‘ Victoria, what’s that on your wrist? ‘ It’s a bracelet my mother gave me many years ago. ‘ Let me see. Seriously, you’re still wearing this? It looks so old, so cheap. Take it off, ‘ Dylan. This bracelet means a lot to me.

‘ I don’t care who gave it to you. You’re engaged to me now. Everything about you must match my status. People shouldn’t look at you and still remember you’re the maid’s daughter. ‘ It’s just a bracelet. ‘ Exactly. So throw it away. I’ll buy you 10 better ones today. ‘ I’d rather keep this one. ‘ Where are you going dressed like that? ‘ I’m going to school.

‘ And you’re going looking like the maid’s daughter? ‘ I don’t understand. ‘ Look at yourself. You’re engaged to me. Soon you’ll be Mrs. Dylan Adams. But you still dress like someone struggling to survive. Honestly, it’s embarrassing. ‘ I like dressing simple. ‘ Not anymore. You’re representing me now. Go upstairs.

 You’re not going to school like this. ‘ But I have a lecture this morning. ‘ Good. You’ll miss one lecture. Come with me. ‘ Okay. ‘ In you go. ‘ Thanks. ‘ Welcome, sir. Welcome, ma’am. ‘ Show her your newest collections. ‘ Dylan, these aren’t really my style. ‘ Exactly. That’s why we’re changing it. ‘ I prefer something simple, something decent.

‘ Victoria, we’re getting married soon. It’s time you adjust. My wife should dress the way I like, not the way she’s used to. ‘ Can we choose something we’re both comfortable with? ‘ No. People should look at you and immediately know you’re with Dylan Adams, not wonder whether you’re still living in the staff quarters.

‘ Here, this one is perfect. ‘ Victoria, what’s wrong? Mom, I’m trying, but Dylan keeps finding new ways to make me feel small. What happened this time? This morning he said I still look like a maid’s daughter. Then he took me shopping. He said I have to dress the way he likes because we’re getting married soon.

 I think I should tell Chief Adams. He said if Dylan ever mistreats me, I should come to him. No, not yet. Why, mom? Talk to Madame Vivian first. She’s Dylan’s mother. If you go straight to Chief Adams, she may become angry and ask why you didn’t tell her first. Besides, Dylan is closer to his mother. He listens to her more than anyone else.

‘ Who arranged these flowers? ‘ I did. ‘ I can tell they look like something from the staff quarters. I was only trying to make the house look beautiful. ‘ You call this beautiful. You can’t hide where you came from. You’ll always think like the maid’s daughter. ‘ Must you remind me every single day that I’m the maid’s daughter? I already know where I came from.

 You don’t have to keep saying it. ‘ Then don’t behave like one. ‘ If my background embarrasses you so much, why didn’t you ask one of the rich girls you know to marry you? Why did you choose me? ‘ Don’t flatter yourself. I didn’t choose you because I wanted you. I chose you because my father wanted a woman with good character.

 You were simply convenient. ‘ Thank you for reminding me. Excuse me. Good afternoon, Mom. Victoria, sit down. What’s the matter? Mom, Dylan keeps humilating me. I’ve tried to be patient. Getting worse. He insults me almost every day. My son is not like that. Victoria, my son agreed to marry you. Do you know how many girls wished for that opportunity? I’m not complaining about the marriage.

 I only want him to treat me with respect. Respect. My son lowered himself to marry the daughter of a maid. Instead of complaining, you should be grateful. Marriage requires sacrifice. Learn to adjust. Stop taking every little thing so seriously. And listen carefully. If I ever hear that you reported Dylan to my husband, you won’t like what I’ll do to you or your mother. Yes, ma. Good.

 Go and learn how to be a proper wife to Sarah. I asked you to come because I wanted to show you the asoeb we’ve chosen for the wedding. It’s very beautiful. Ma, the quality is excellent. Of course, the biggest names in this country will attend my son’s wedding. Nothing but the best. Please, ma, may I take a few samples? I’d like to show my friends and relatives so they can buy theirs. Excuse me.

 I Sarah, has my son agreeing to marry your daughter made you forget who you are? Do you expect my friends, business executives, and society women to wear the same isoabia as your low-class friends? I’m sorry, ma. I don’t even know why I bothered showing you these fabrics. Listen carefully. I’m not expecting to see your friends or distant relatives at this wedding.

 This is a high-profile society wedding. Attendance will be strictly by invitation. I’ll give you only five invitation cards. One is for you. The remaining four, give them to whoever you like, but make sure they are presentable. ‘ Yes, ma. ‘ I don’t want poorly dressed people embarrassing my family at my son’s reception. I understand, ma. You may go.

‘ Thank you, ma. ‘ Dylan, I’m leaving for my lectures. ‘ Okay. At least you look better today. Tell the driver to take you. And if you need money for anything, just let me know. ‘ Thank you. I’m fine. ‘ Guy, she’s really improving. And she’s beautiful, too. Beautiful or not, a maid’s daughter can never be my class.

You’re looking at it the wrong way. You can transform her into the kind of woman you want. I doubt it. Besides, she’s patient enough to enjoy your terrible character. Guys, stop that. I’m not as bad as you are. Keep deceiving yourself. [laughter] ‘ All right, let’s play. ‘ I was really disappointed when I heard you got engaged.

 I honestly thought you loved me. ‘ I do. Then why are you marrying someone else? ‘ Because my father made it clear if I brought someone like you, he would reject her immediately. ‘ I would have behaved myself in front of your parents. ‘ You don’t know my father. He investigates everybody sooner or later. He would discover who you really are.

‘ So you’re using that girl? ‘ She’s exactly the kind of woman my father wanted. Calm, educated, everything he likes. I’m simply giving him the wife he asks for. I don’t even have feelings for her. Once he hands over the company, I’ll divorce her. ‘ That’s more like the Dylan I know. ‘ Hello, ‘ Dylan.

 Aren’t you coming home today? It’s getting late. I waited so we could have dinner together. ‘ Don’t wait for me. Eat and get some rest. I’m in an important meeting. I’ll be back in 2 days. ‘ All right. Take care. ‘ Now, where were we? ‘ Let’s go have some fun. ‘ Dylan, please. Can I talk to you? Please, we’re supposed to see the marriage counselor by 4:00.

 It’s already 3:45. I just wanted to remind you. ‘ Victoria, get away from my side. Can’t you see? I’m doing something important. ‘ I’m sorry. I only thought it was important because our wedding is just 3 weeks away. ‘ Listen carefully. The next time you see me watching football, I’m doing anything important. Don’t ever come close to me.

Do you understand? And I don’t even blame you. If not for my father’s conditions, tell me what would I be doing with a maid’s daughter. ‘ Madame Victoria, are you all right? I’m fine. Thank you. [snorts] [laughter] Since the day I came into this house, I’ve watched this man make this woman cry over and over again.

 They’re not even married yet. If this is how he’s treating her now, what will happen after the wedding? Madame Victoria, can I ask you something? Go ahead. Why do you keep enduring all this? Since I started working here, I’ve watched Mr. Dylan humiliate you over and over again. I don’t understand how you managed to stay so calm. It’s not because I’m weak.

 It’s because my mother has sacrificed everything for me. She’s been working for Madame Vivian for over 15 years. Chief Adams paid my school fees from primary school until now. I understand, Victoria. I’m only 2 months away from graduating. If I walk away now, Madame Vivia may accuse us of being ungrateful. She could sack my mother before I even finish school.

 Once I graduate and I’m able to stand on my own, things will be different. For now, I just want to finish school without any distractions. I understand, but nothing would make me endure this kind of insult. I’m also in my final year if I had to choose. I’d rather walk my way through school than lose my peace.

 Maybe you’re stronger than I am. Good afternoon, Dylan. Good afternoon, sir. ‘ What are you doing here? Were you employed to clean this house or to become friends with my fianceé? ‘ I’m sorry, sir. ‘ Then get back to work. You really don’t know how to fit into this life. I’ve never seen any woman from my circle come here to spend time with you.

 It’s always maids, cleaners, and people from your level. ‘ Why do you enjoy hurting me? What exactly have I done to deserve this? ‘ Stop being emotional. I’m only telling you the truth. ‘ Sometimes I wonder if this wedding is even a good idea. ‘ Don’t even think about embarrassing my family.

 You know how many important people my mother has already invited? If this wedding doesn’t happen because of you, my mom will make life miserable for both you and your mother. So, if I were you, I’d stop thinking about running away. Vivian, I already told you a small family celebration would have been enough.

 I wanted our son’s wedding to hold next month, but you insisted it must happen in your birthday month. ‘ Chief, it’s a special time for both of us. ‘ Now, we’re spending money on two major events almost at the same time. ‘ I’ve already informed my friends. There’s nothing you can say now that will make me cancel the party. I’m not even sure I’ll be around.

 Jersey Holdings scheduled an important business meeting for next week. You know how important that company is to us. There’s a chance I won’t return before your birthday. Why not postpone the celebration until I’m back? ‘ You don’t have to be there. I’ll simply tell everyone my husband had an important business engagement.

 Just make sure the money is available. The party can go on without you. ‘ Vivian, sometimes I wonder if money is the only thing that matters to you. You’ve spoiled our only son with the same mentality. Today, he’s becoming everything I prayed he would never become. ‘ Chief, who doesn’t like money? Money commands respect.

 I only pray Victoria will be able to cope with him. ‘ She should count herself lucky. My birthday is only a few days away. Many important people will be there. So, make sure you dress well. I don’t want anyone looking at my future daughter-in-law and thinking she came from a poor background. I’ll do my best, Ma. ‘ Mom, thank you for reminding her.

 Left to Victoria, you’ll happily attend your birthday wearing one simple dress and call it modesty. ‘ There’s nothing wrong with dressing simply. ‘ That’s exactly how a maid’s daughter would think. ‘ I met the wedding planner today. Everything is almost ready. Immediately after my birthday celebration, I’ll take you to the designers in Lagos.

 You’ll choose your wedding gown and reception dress. They’re all important. ‘ Thank you, ma. ‘ I doubt you’ve ever imagined wearing dresses like that before. ‘ Mom has really tried for you. I’m sure designer clothes were only something you saw in magazines. ‘ But we have a reputation to maintain. People are watching this family.

 They must see class. Oh, tell Ella I’ll need her at the birthday party, too. The event planner is bringing ushers, but with the number of guests coming, we’ll still need extra hands. ‘ No problem, mama. I’ll let her know. ‘ Sarah, my birthday is only a few days away. I hope you haven’t forgotten. No, madam.

 Good, because I have something important to tell you. On that day, you’ll come dressed in your maid’s uniform. Exactly. My maid’s uniform, huh? Of course. Let’s not create the wrong impression. Just because your daughter is marrying my son doesn’t suddenly make us equals. I don’t want anyone mistaking you for one of my guests. Know your position.

 You’ve served this family for over 15 years. One engagement won’t change that overnight. On my birthday, you’ll do what you’ve always done. Serve food, attend to my guest, and make sure the important people are comfortable. Yes, madam. I’ll do my best. Good. Because the last thing I want is people asking why my maid suddenly thinks she’s part of the family.

 If there’s nothing else, madam, may I excuse myself? You may go. ‘ Ladies and gentlemen, your drinks. ‘ Thank you so much. This looks lovely. Cheers to the evening. ‘ To good company, ‘Sarah. I’m glad you still know your place in this family. I must say that maid’s uniform looks perfect on you. ‘ Thank you, sir.

 Mom, are you okay? Mom, I don’t think I can continue with this anymore. Why are you dressed like this? Madame Vivian asked me to wear my uniform. She said I should remember my place. Ma, this is too much. Nobody deserves this kind of humiliation. If enduring all this helps her finish her education, then I’ll count it as my reward.

 Ma, allowing Victoria to marry Mr. Dylan is the biggest mistake anyone could make. Are the three of you holding a meeting here? Victoria, why are you standing here? People already know you’re my son’s fianceé. Do you want them to think you belong with the Stevens? Go and stand beside Dylan. ‘ Perfect. Please smile. Oops. Smile. People should think you’re happy.

 That’s better. You should be grateful. Without me, you wouldn’t even be standing in a place like this. ‘ Dylan. Wow. Look at you, Victoria. Honestly, anyone seeing you tonight will think you’re the daughter of a senator. Or maybe the daughter of one billionaire. Nobody here would believe she’s actually the maid’s daughter.

[laughter] This dress alone must cost a fortune. You’ve really transformed her. Of course I did. Without me, she’ll still be following her mother around with a bucket and mop. ‘ Dylan, please. Not today. ‘ No, today is the perfect day. Ladies and gentlemen, since we’re all one big family tonight, I want to introduce someone very special.

 His is my fianceé, Victoria. Beautiful, isn’t she? Looking at her now, you’ll think she comes from one of the richest homes in Nigeria. You might even think she’s a governor’s daughter. Pause. [laughter] But guess what? Her mother has spent most of her life washing my mother’s blades. The dress she’s wearing tonight costs more than everything her mother has saved in her entire life.

 So tell me, shouldn’t she be thanking me instead of acting proud? ‘ My son is right. Some people forget where they came from too quickly. Dylan is so rude and arrogant. I can’t continue keeping quiet. ENOUGH. [laughter] ‘ She’s the maid’s daughter. I’ve watched you humiliate this woman over and over again.

 Every single day you find a new way to make her cry. I kept quiet because I thought one day you would grow up, but I can’t watch this anymore. You think you’re better than her because you were born into a rich family. No, you’re only fortunate. Money is a privilege. It doesn’t make you a better human being.

 You call yourself a man. No, you’re still a little boy spoiled by your father’s riches. Because a real man doesn’t humiliate the woman he’s supposed to love. But you you’ve only shown everyone here that you’ve grown in age, not in character. Go on, try it. I dare you. Touch me and I’ll drive my head straight into your mouth. You’ll see your teeth lying on this floor.

 How dare you? How dare a maid speak to my son like that? If this is what money has taught him, then I’d rather remain poor for the rest of my life. Ella, how dare you speak to my son that way? How dare you create a scene at my birthday party? Madam, I wasn’t trying to disrespect anyone. Your son was humilating Madame Victoria in front of everybody.

 So, you’ve suddenly become Victoria’s advocate? ‘ No, madam. I just felt enough. My son had a little misunderstand with his fianceé. Who are you to interfere? Who gave you the right to question a member of this family? You’ve forgotten you’re only a maid, and today you’ve embarrassed me before my guests. ‘ Madam, please. It wasn’t Ella’s fault.

She was only trying to ‘ stay out of this. Hello, Commissioner. ‘ Good evening. I’m sorry to disturb you. There’s a lady causing serious disturbance at my birthday party. I’d appreciate it if you could send a few officers immediately. Thank you. ‘ You can explain yourself at the police station. No, please.

 I was just trying to me. ‘ You’re a brave girl. Not many people can stand up to the Adams family. ‘ H Maybe it’s not bravery. I just couldn’t stand and watch like the others. [sighs and gasps] SARAH, VICTORIA, where is this poor wretched maid and her daughter? Look at this. Do you see what that useless maid has done? My birthday, my reputation, everything has become entertainment on social media.

 I’m sorry, madam. I didn’t send her to do that. Really? Then explain something to me yesterday when I found the three of you standing together. Is that what you were planning? Were both of you encouraging her to insult my son? No, madam. I swear nothing like that happened. Stop lying to me. Do you know how much I spent on that birthday party? I couldn’t sleep all night.

 Now my face is everywhere because of one ordinary maid. Madam, please. Ella was only Keep quiet. Don’t say another word. I’ll make sure she rots in jail. Nobody humiliates the Adams family and walks away. And you, you’ll receive a punishment worthy of your betrayal. Now get out of my sight. ‘ Yes, madam. ‘ I can’t believe this, Dylan.

 That was messy. Your face is everywhere on the internet. You shouldn’t have made that announcement at the party. That’s the annoying part. Nobody recorded my announcement. But people were too busy laughing and enjoying themselves. The only thing they recorded was that maid insulting me. Just look at this. That maid is so brave.

 Another one says she stood up for the oppressed. Can you imagine? People are praising the maid for embarrassing me. I can’t take this insult. Then don’t take it. What do you mean? You need to remind everybody who’s in control. If you keep quiet now, people will think you were the one who was wrong. What should I do? Make that maid apologize publicly. Not only her.

Make Sarah and Victoria apologize, too. Record everything. Let the whole internet see that nobody humilates the Adams family and walks away. You’re right. If I stay quiet, everyone will think I’m weak. I need to turn this around. Exactly. People only respect power. ‘ Hello, Dylan. ‘ Mom, I’ve been thinking.

 I want Sarah and Victoria to apologize publicly. We’ll record it and post it online. Let everyone see that the Adams family is still in charge. I like that idea. I’ll make sure they apologize. ‘ Dylan and I have decided how to end this matter. You and Victoria will record a video apologizing to me and to my son. You’ll tell the public that Ella was wrong, that she does not speak for your family, and that both of you remain grateful that Victoria is becoming part of the Adam’s family.

 Madam, please, Ella was only trying to protect Victoria. She couldn’t bear the way Dylan has been treating her. I did not ask for your opinion. I asked whether you understood what I said. Yes, madam. Good. Prepare, Victoria. The video will be recorded today. Yes, madam. ‘ Madam, we’re ready. ‘ Good. Start recording. ‘ Recording now.

‘ I I apologize for the disrespect shown by my daughter’s friend, Ella, towards Madame Vivian and the Adams family. My daughter and I are grateful for everything the Adams family has done for us. We appreciate the kindness Chief Adams has shown us over the years, and we recognize the honor of this marriage.

I also apologize for everything that happened at the birthday party. Ella acted on her own. She does not represent my family. I’m grateful to the Adams family and I’m thankful for the opportunity to become part of this family. ‘ Recording complete, madam. ‘ Perfect. Post it. Let the whole country see that nobody disgraces the Adams family and gets away with it.

‘ Yes, madam. Very good, Mom. Now I’m satisfied. ‘ No, nobody apologizes like this. Look at her eyes. is that woman was clearly forced. ‘ This is no apology. This is intimidation. Look at Victoria’s face. She’s crying while apologizing. Those rich people think money gives them the right to treat others like slaves.

Somebody needs to investigate the adults family. Money isn’t everything. This is wickedness. ‘ Look at the girl’s mother. She looks terrified. Something isn’t right. They arrested the maid simply because she defended someone. That’s wickedness. ‘ This is why many poor people are afraid to speak.

 The rich always think they can silence everyone. You had a young girl arrested simply because she spoke up. And you forced Sarah and Victoria to apologize on camera. For what exactly? ‘ For disrespecting this family. ‘ No, Vivian. Dylan disgraced this family the moment he humiliated his own fiance before all those guests.

 That was where this problem started. ‘ Here we go again. Always blaming Dylan. ‘ I gave Dylan 3 months to prove he had become a responsible man. Instead, he has shown the whole country the exact opposite. Now everyone is talking about this family for the wrong reasons. You’re worrying too much, Chief. Social media always finds something new to talk about.

 Give it a few days, people will move on. ‘ This isn’t just gossip anymore. A young woman is sitting in a police cell. Sarah and Victory were humiliated before the whole country. And our son has become the face of arrogance. ‘ It will pass. These things always pass. ‘ I’ve worked so hard for this family. God, where did I go wrong? The Adams family scandal continues to dominate conversations across the country as the controversial apology video attracts millions of reactions online.

I I apologize for the disrespect shown by my daughter’s friend Ella towards Madame Vivian and the Adams family. ‘ No, it can’t be Sarah, my Sarah. Or could it be a coincidence? The name, the resemblance. Sir, is everything all right? ‘ I’m so happy you’re finally back. I hope you’ve rested enough.

 Now you must tell me everything. How was the UK? ‘ Mom, I’ll tell you everything. But first, where’s Sarah? I haven’t seen her since I came back. ‘ H Sarah, I didn’t know how to tell you. Sarah is gone. ‘ Gone? What do you mean gone? ‘ Last year, she’s traveled to her village. On her way back, she was was involved in a terrible road accident.

She died on the spot. ‘ Noah, that’s impossible. Why? Why didn’t anyone tell me? I promised her. I promised I’d come back for her. I want everything you can find on the Adams family and that woman Sarah, find out where she came from and how long she has worked for them. I want answers today. Yes, sir. I want answers today.

Good morning, sir. Tell me, what did you find, sir? I found Sarah. She’s been working for the Adams family for over 20 years. Before then, she worked as a house help at your late mother’s estate. The dates match the period shortly after you travel to the United Kingdom. There’s something else, sir.

 Something I believe you should see. Who is she? Her name is Victoria. She’s Sarah’s only child. She’s 22 years old. 22 years? ‘ Yes, sir. I verified it from multiple ‘ Yes, sir. I verified it from multiple records. She’s currently in her final year at the university. She’s also engaged to Dylan Adams, Chief Adam’s son.

‘ Sarah, why didn’t you look for me? Or did someone stop you? Sarah, Victoria, I owe both of you a sincere apology. I never imagined things had gone this far. If I had known my son was treating Victoria this way, I would have stopped it long ago. ‘ Sir Dylan has been humilating my daughter for a long time.

 We endured it because we believe things would change after what happened at Madame Vivian’s birthday party. I am no longer certain my daughter will ever be safe with him. ‘ Then there will be no wedding. At least not for now. I honestly didn’t know my son had become this spoiled and arrogant.

 I knew he could be stubborn, but I never imagined he could humiliate the woman he was supposed to marry. Victoria, why didn’t you come to me? Why did you keep everything to yourself? Sir, I wanted to tell you many times, but Madame Vivian warned me never to report Dylan to you. She said if I ever did, she would make sure my mother would lose her job.

‘ Vivian said that? ‘ Yes, sir. ‘ Sir, you’ve served this family faithfully for many years. This week, I’m officially retiring you. You’ve worked hard enough. Whether Victoria eventually marries Dylan or not, I will still fulfill my promise to you. ‘ Thank you so much, sir. You’ve always treated me with kindness.

 May God continue to bless you. ‘ Everything will be completed before the end of this month. Thank you, sir. I truly appreciate everything you’ve done for us. Sir, there’s one more thing. ‘ Go ahead. ‘ Please help Ella. She only defended my daughter. If she hadn’t spoken up that day, things would have been even worse.

She doesn’t deserve to remain in police custody because she stood up for what was right. ‘ Don’t worry about Ella. I’ll personally handle it today. She’ll be released as soon as possible. ‘ Thank you, sir. ‘ No one who stood for justice should suffer because of my family’s mistakes. ‘ Sir Chief Adal is here.

 Chief Adiwali, please excuse me. Chief Chief Adal, what an honor. Welcome. Please come in to what do we owe this unexpected visit? I am not here for pleasantries, Adams. I am here for a woman named Sarah. I was informed she works in this house. Sarah, our housekeeper. What business could you possibly have with Sarah? That is between her and me.

‘ Chief Adawali, perhaps there’s been some misunderstanding. Sarah is only one of the domestic staff in this house. Surely a man of your status couldn’t possibly have any business with. Madam, I did not ask for your opinion of her position. I asked to see Sarah. Now, will someone kindly call her or should I search this house myself? ‘ Sarah, it’s really you.

‘ Why are you here? After everything that happened, why are you here now? ‘ Sarah, I’ve searched for you for years. ‘ Search for me? Your mother made sure I disappeared from your life. ‘ What do you mean? ‘ After you traveled abroad, she found out I was carrying your child. She said I wasn’t worthy of her son, that she had already chosen another woman for you.

She threatened to unal alive me if I ever came back to that house or tried to contact you. I had no choice but to disappear. ‘ My mother My mother told me you had returned to your village and that you died in an accident and I believed her. Please, I’m sorry for all you went through.

 You should have tried to contact me. ‘ I never stopped loving you, but I was trying to stay alive. ‘ Sarah, is my daughter Victoria? ‘ Yes, ‘ VICTORIA IS MY DAUGHTER. THE SAME VICTORIA DYLAN HAS BEEN HUMILIATING. ‘ Chief Adawali, please. We’re deeply sorry. Please forgive us. ‘ Adoale, please calm down. I promise you I’ll make everything right.

 Call Victoria. You and my daughter are leaving this house this minute. ‘ Victoria has gone to school. Please give me a little time. I need to pack our things. ‘ Forget those things. You don’t need anything from this house. ‘ No, I can’t just leave like that. Please allow me to explain everything to Victoria first.

 I’ll pack our belongings and call you. ‘ All right, I’ll give you that time. Adams, your son will pay for every humiliation he has inflicted on my daughter. Do you see what you’ve caused? Dad, I didn’t know Victoria was Chief Adal’s daughter. That is not an excuse. You should learn to treat people with dignity regardless of who they are.

Instead, your wickedness became the breakthrough that reunited a father with his daughter. ‘ What do we do now? You know how influential Chief Adiwali is in this country. ‘ Not just in this country. My entire company is at stake. Chief Adiwali is one of the major shareholders in my company.

 In fact, he owns the largest percentage of shares. If he decides to withdraw his investment, my company could become bankrupt. What am I supposed to do now? ‘ I think you should talk to Sarah before she leaves. You’ve always treated her well. She respects you. Maybe she’ll listen to you and convince Chief Adi to calm down. Dad, what happens to my wedding with Victoria? Now, which wedding? Were you honestly expecting that wedding to continue after the way you disgraced Victoria in public? Even if Victoria wasn’t Chief Adal’s daughter, I would

have canceled that wedding myself. Marriage is built on love, respect, and responsibility. You have shown none of those. Grow up first. When you’ve learned how to respect people, then you can think about marriage and about managing my company. Right now, I need to find a way to meet Chief Adiwali before this situation gets completely out of hand.

‘ Mom, you always told me my father died before I was born. Why would you keep something this important from me? ‘ I’m sorry, my daughter. I truly believed I was protecting you. After Adi traveled abroad, his mother found out I was carrying you. She chased me out of their house, she warned me never to come back.

She said if I ever tried to contact Adi or tell him about the pregnancy, she would make sure I disappeared forever. I was terrified. Then about 2 years after you were born, I heard that Adiwali had gotten married. I was heartbroken. I thought he had forgotten me. I never imagined his own mother had lied to him, telling him that I was dead.

 Mom, even if that was the case, you should have told me the truth. All my life, I believed I didn’t have a father. If Dylan hadn’t humiliated us, if that video hadn’t gone viral, Chief Adi would never have found us. Does that mean I would have spent the rest of my life without ever knowing who my father was? We’ve been here all these years feeling indebted to Chief Adams because of everything he did for us, not knowing that my own father is even more influential and even wealthier than Chief Adams. My daughter, I’m sorry.

Thank you so much, sir. I don’t know how to repay your kindness. ‘ You don’t owe me anything. You did the right thing. Never be afraid to stand up against injustice. People like you make society better. ‘ Thank you, sir. Thank you, Ella. You don’t have to thank me. I do. If you hadn’t stood up for me that day, my mom and I wouldn’t have gone viral, and my father would never have found us.

 Our lives have completely changed because of your courage. I’m so happy for you, Victoria. You deserve every bit of this happiness. You’re in your final year now, right? Yes. As soon as you graduate, I’ll speak to my father. We’ll make sure you get a good job. Really, it’s the least I can do. ‘ Sarah, Victoria, please forgive me.

 I never imagined things would end like this. Madam, I’ve forgiven you. I’ve also forgiven Dylan. If he hadn’t humiliated us in public, Chief Adali would never have found us. Sometimes the very thing people used to mock us is what God uses to bless us. I’m so ashamed. Please talk to Chief Adiwali for us.

 He’s a major shareholder in my husband’s company. If he pulls out, everything we’ve built could collapse. Chief Adams has always been good to us. He paid my school fees from primary school until I graduated. We’ll speak to Chief Adawali on his behalf. Thank you. I truly appreciate it. Mom, this place is beautiful.

 It’s even more beautiful than Chief Adam’s house. Your father has worked hard for everything you see. ‘ Madame Sarah, Mr. Victoria, please come inside. Chief Adali is waiting for you. Welcome, Victoria. Please forgive me. I wasn’t there to watch you grow. I only found out you were my daughter after I saw that viral apology video. ‘ Dad, I know it wasn’t your fault.

 You were deceived, too. I’m just happy to finally meet you. ‘ Welcome home, my daughter. ‘ Adalia, are Victoria and I going to live here with you? ‘ Yes. This is your home now. ‘ What about your wife and your children? ‘ My wife passed away 5 years ago, we never had children. Sarah, if I had known you were alive, I would never have married anyone else.

 Even after I got married, something was always missing. I fulfilled my responsibilities as a husband, but I could never love my wife the way I loved you. That marriage happened because of family pressure. When she passed away, I buried myself in work. Business became my escape. I never thought about marrying again.

 But seeing you again, I feel like the part of my life that was missing has finally come back. Sarah, we’ve lost 25 years. I don’t want to lose another day. Will you marry me? ‘ Mom, I’ve been thinking a lot. I think I was beginning to like Victoria. I regret everything I did to her. Just forget about her.

 If you truly liked her, you wouldn’t have treated her that way. Love doesn’t humiliate. ‘ Instead of saying that, you should be thinking of how to get her back. The wedding can still happen. She’s beautiful, respectful, and now we know she’s Chief Adal’s daughter. She’s exactly the kind of woman dad wanted for me. ‘ And whose fault is it that she’s gone? How many daughters of my wealthy friends did I introduce to you? None of them could tolerate your attitude.

‘ Really, Mom? You’re blaming me? You’re the reason I BECAME LIKE THIS. WATCH YOUR MOUTH. NO. Every time dad tried to correct me, you defended me. You always said he was old-fashioned and didn’t understand me. You never allowed me to face the consequences of my actions. Look at me now.

 I’m a man who’s only grown in age, but not in character. And you helped make me that way. Adal Sarah, thank you for receiving me. I came to apologize once again for everything that happened. And I also came to fulfill the promise I made to you, Sarah. You’ve served my family faithfully for many years. I promise to settle you after your retirement.

 And I intend to keep that promise. Adams, you really don’t have to. Sarah has told me everything. You sponsored Victoria’s education, gave them a home, and treated them with kindness. For that, I’ll always be. As for settling Sarah, that won’t be necessary. By God’s grace, I have more than enough to establish her in any business she chooses.

 No, Adal, this isn’t charity. This is something she has earned. Sarah, please accept this. ‘ Sir, thank you. I don’t know what to say. Adams, you’re truly a good man. Our business relationship will remain unchanged. Thank you, Adali. I won’t take your kindness for granted. There’s actually another reason I wanted to see you.

 Sarah and I have decided to make up for the years we lost. We’ll be having our court wedding very soon. I’d like you, Vivian, and Dylan to honor us with your presence. It will be an honor. Congratulations. I beg to take my leave. I had everything. Yet, I couldn’t appreciate the one person who truly cared about me. Victoria was different. Beautiful, respectful, intelligent.

 I lost her because of my arrogance, and I know I’ll probably never get her back. Dad, can we talk? Go ahead. I’m sorry for disappointing you, for the way I treated Victoria, and for the kind of son I’ve been. Have you truly changed? Or is this because I said you won’t manage my company? No, Dad. This has nothing to do with the company.

 I’ve made up my mind. I want I want to get a job, not in your company. I want to work for someone else. I want to know what life feels like without depending on your money. Those are the words I’ve waited years to hear. I’m proud of you. You have my full support. Thank you, Dad. Congratulations, Sarah.

 You deserve this happiness. Thank you so much, sir. Sarah, congratulations. I’m truly happy for you. Thank you, Madame Vivien. ‘ Victoria, I’m sorry. Everything that happened has taught me a lesson. I’ll never look down on or disrespect anyone again. ‘ I don’t have anything against you. If not for what happened that day, my mom might still be working as a maid.

 God used that painful moment to write a new chapter in our lives. I’ve forgiven you. ‘ Thank you, ‘ Victoria. ‘ Ella, you’re one of the bravest women I’ve ever met. Standing up for Victoria changed all our lives. Thank you and I’m sorry. ‘ Apology accepted. Congratulations to your parents.

 Thank you and thank you for recommending me to your father. I received my appointment letter last week. Your father asked me to resume work immediately after graduation. I’m so happy for you. ‘ Isn’t this the woman that went viral 2 months ago? Wow. That humanation became the very reason her life changed. God truly works in mysterious ways.

 Excuse me. Isn’t this the woman from that viral apology video? Yes, this is the same woman whose daughter was publicly humiliated by her wealthy fianceé. Look how God turned her story around. Sometimes what people used to mock you is exactly what God uses to elevate you. That’s why we should never give up. Never look down on anyone because of their present condition.

 The same situation people use to mock you today may become the very path God uses to elevate you tomorrow. Treat everyone with love, respect, and kindness. Because true greatness is measured by character, not by wealth. Thank you for watching.
