Chapter 20 I’m Here

Suzette muttered in a low voice, then deliberately raised her voice. "Tiffy, Ramona brings him out on all occasions. What a nuisance.”

"Yes, Mom, I feel bad for Ramona. She’s so beautiful. Why did she choose to marry him?" Tiffany glanced at Tyler from the corner of her eyes, the remark was obviously targeted at him.

"Ahem, well, Suzette and Tiffy, we are family. Why do this?"

Ramona's grandfather, Jim Zimmer, faked a cough twice.

"Father, don't you know how shameless Tyler is? He’s a useless bum that spends Ramona’s money. That's not all. He had the cheek to mess around with a woman called Naomi Tanner. Is this fair?"

Suzette was particularly indignant with Tyler and accused him of infidelity.

"Yes, grandfather. Back then, you strongly approved of Tyler to join the family. Look at the nasty things he is doing now," Tiffany said followed by a sigh.

"How could he do that? It's too embarrassing."

"Yes, Ramona is so beautiful and virtuous. Why is he still not satisfied?"

"What can we expect from a toyboy. He hasn’t gotten enough at home so he goes out for more."

"..."

All the relatives condemned Tyler about how they wished they could give him a beat down.

Ramona’s face flushed. She was also suspicious that Tyler and Naomi had an unusual relationship. Otherwise, why would Naomi spare them from paying the bill worth more than a hundred thousand dollars?

Susan's face was ghastly pale, she stared at Tyler fiercely. She did not expect that she would be humiliated because of Tyler as soon as she entered the door.

Jim glanced at Tyler ​​but soon shook his head in disbelief. He did not believe what Suzette and Tiffany had said.

"Don't talk nonsense on my happy occasion. Don't talk about it anymore,” said Jim.

They all respected the old master and kept quiet after he said so.

"Susan, why is Rosalyn not coming?" Ramona’s grandmother asked Susan.

"Mom, Rosalyn went shopping with her boyfriend and turned off her phone. I haven’t been able to get in touch with her."

Susan shook her head, feeling a little annoyed.

"It's okay. Young people like to have fun." The Old Madam of the Zimmer family said with a warm smile.

Ramona was concerned when she heard that as she knew her younger sister, Rosalyn would never turn off her phone. Besides, she promised to be back for her grandfather’s birthday celebration in the morning.

She tried calling her sister's phone again. True enough, it was turned off and Ramona got even more worried.

"Ramona, I heard about Mr. Zand who offered to help you develop the Fairview Villa. Is it true?" Ramona's uncle, Tom Zimmer approached Ramona and asked curiously.

Susan interrupted excitedly before Ramona could answer, "Yes, yes. Mr. Zand has gotten Universal International to develop Fairview Villa. We don't need to spend a single cent."

"Really! This has been a hot topic. I thought it was not true! Second Sister, did Mr. Zand discuss with you how the dividend will be paid?" Tom asked excitedly.

After all, the Zand family is powerful and reputable. Everyone looked up to the Zand family and was extremely stoked to be able to work together with such a prestigious family.

Susan pouted and replied to Tom proudly, "Haha, you didn’t expect this, did you? Mr. Zand offered to help us develop Fairview Villa for free!"

"Oh my god, how is this possible!"

“It's amazing. Mr. Zand is fantastic!"

"I think that Mr. Zand has a crush on Ramona. Otherwise, why would he do that?"

Everyone was enlivened by the news and started talking about it.

Susan felt proud as she had never been so complacent before.

"Sister Ramona, do you really know Mr. Zand? Can you do me a favor and get Mr. Zand to offer me a job at Universal International? I want to work there." Tom Zimmer's son, Parker Zimmer pleaded Ramona with a smile.

Tyler was left speechless. This group of relatives were talking about Mr. Zand but had no idea that Mr. Zand was right before their eyes and left out in a corner.

Ramona looked at Parker and did not know how to reply to her cousin.

"Cousin brother, I don't know Mr. Zand," Ramona said with a light sigh.

Parker was taken aback when he heard Ramona. Yet, he cracked a smile. "Sister Ramona, you must be joking. Who would believe you?"

"I really don't know him. I’ve never met him," Ramona solemnly explained.

Everyone felt strange after hearing Ramona’s reply.

"That’s weird. Mr. Zand is so mysterious."

Tom shook his head and sighed. He then turned toward Ramona. "Ramona, do help your cousin brother if you meet Mr. Zand. He just graduated from university and is looking for a job. He has no interest in joining any other companies and only wants to get into Universal International."

"Well, Uncle. I’ll try my best." Ramona nodded and temporarily agreed.

Susan felt very proud that her relatives finally asked for help from her family.

She had been frustrated with her family fallen into despair since the passing of Ramona’s father and with their relatives not keeping much contact with her family.

Therefore, Susan was extremely grateful that Mr. Zand, their family’s benefactor appeared.

"Don't worry, Tom. Ramona will meet Mr. Zand sooner or later. His family owns Universal International. It shouldn’t be difficult to get Parker a job,” said Susan proudly.

"Yeah. My son can even be part of the management team if Mr. Zand recommended him." Tom buttered Susan up.

Ramona frowned as she clearly did not know Mr. Zand. She was perplexed with her mother’s ongoing agreement to help.

"Uncle, it's too early to say this. Besides, I’m not related to Mr. Zand. He had done me a great favor to develop Fairview Villa. I have no idea how to pay back his kindness," Ramona sighed.

Tom chuckled when he heard it and said, "Why are you talking about a favor? Mr. Zand must’ve liked you. I can't think of any other reason why he would help you. Haha!"

When Suzette heard Tom, she became enthusiastic and moved closer to Ramona. "Yes, Ramona. You must seize this opportunity and marry into a rich family. We’ll all greatly benefit from this!"

Having said that, she gave Tyler, who was at a corner the look. "Haha, if someone has self-awareness, he should not be the dog in a manger and waste Ramona’s youth!"

That was too much. Even Tyler who was known to have a good temper could not take it anymore.

"Aunt Suzette, have you never heard of ‘what God has joined together, let no man put asunder’? As an Elder, don't you think your behavior is inappropriate?" Tyler who stood next to Susan and asked.

"Oh, you are not happy, are you? Why don't you look into the mirror and see what virtues you have? What do you have to compare yourself with Mr. Zand? You are nothing like him," said Suzette grimly.

Tyler sneered. "You haven't even met Mr. Zand. How do you know I’m inferior to him?"

"Do I need to meet him to know? Mr. Zand is from a wealthy and prestigious family. He must be charismatic and handsome. Look at you! You look poor and shabby. Haha," Suzette jeered as she glared at Tyler.

"What if I tell you I’m Mr. Zand? Will you still condemn my look?" Tyler asked Suzette.

"Haha!"

"Ouch! My stomach hurts from laughing. I'm going to the toilet..."

"Tyler, ​​how dare you claim to be Mr. Zand? I think you can only be his servant."

"Eh, I don't think there’s a problem. Tyler also carries the family name Zand, but to claim as the Mister himself."

The youngsters who were around Ramona’s age went into fits of laughter. Tyler’s remark was greeted with derision.

However, Tyler stood there calmly, took in the ugly appearance of those people, and thought that it was not a bad thing to see their true colors.

"Okay, that’s enough!" ordered the Old Master of the Zimmer family sternly.

All the youngsters became quiet but they still wore grotesque mockeries on their faces.

Jim walked up to Tyler, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted, "Tyler, ​​don't take it to heart. Work hard in the future. Everyone has a chance to be successful."

His words warmed Tyler's heart as Tyler looked at Jim’s eyes and reassured, "Don't worry, grandfather. I’ll definitely make Ramona happy."

"Okay, I have faith in you!"

Jim nodded gratifyingly.

Tiffany laughed after hearing that. She strode over and commented, "Grandfather, you’re so kind. Do you believe in his empty words? He’s living off Ramona. How can he possibly make her happy?"

"Hold it! Who hadn’t got in trouble before?" Jim looked at Tiffany seriously.

"F*ck!" Tiffany curled her lips in disdain and swore. "Well, look. Your grandson wants to work at Universal International. Mr. Zand can make this happen and Parker might even be able to become the Vice President! Can Tyler do that? What can he do?"

"We haven't even met Mr. Zand before so why do we expect help from him? By the way, Tiffany, isn't your fiance, Graham working in Universal International? He holds a senior managerial role, right? Get Graham to help Parker," Jim told Tiffany.

Only then did Tiffany realize her boyfriend, Graham was unusually quiet that day. He sat in a corner like a mute.

"Graham, did you hear what grandfather said? Help Parker get into Universal International," Tiffany beckoned to Graham.

Graham glanced carefully at Tyler with butterflies in his stomach.

The others looked down on Tyler ​​but Graham dared not. He knew Tyler was close with the powerful Master Logan!

"Let me try. It’s difficult to get into Universal International, but there might still be hope to become an ordinary employee..." Graham took out his mobile phone with shaky hands and called Chairman Percy.

Graham very soon hung up his phone in frustration. Percy did not even entertain him and blatantly refused him.

Tom was anxious while his son, Parker got angry and silently stood aside.

Jim sighed as he loved this grandson of his a lot and had been quite worried about Parker's job hunting.

Tyler was sad to see Jim in such a state.

After all, the Old Master had always been very kind to him.

"Grandfather, don't worry. I'll give it a go. It shouldn't be a problem for Parker to take up a managerial position in Universal International." Tyler looked at Jim calmly and then fetched out his mobile phone.

"F*ck! Did I hear it right? Haha..." Tiffany could not stop laughing at Tyler.

Following that, some of the youngsters burst into laughter as they quickly gathered around Tyler. How they wished Tyler would turn on hands-free mode so that they could hear first-hand how Tyler made a fool of himself.
