The Genius' First Love 386 Margo's Proposal

Salsa showed up with Collet at the funeral too, showing themselves up in front of Martin as he was giving a commemorative speech for his wife and his supposed daughter. Martin was utterly devastated at Aviona's death and his grief lead him to be incapable of caring for other things he was responsible of, even Aviona's funeral wasn't his doing, it was all taken care by LGC headed by Margo. That was also the same reason why Salsa showed up with Collet, for Martin had seemed to have forgotten about them and never cared to visit at the hotel where they stayed.

However, despite their unexpectedly show up, Martin was seemed uninterested of them and they were not given a chance to talk to him. Martin wanted to be left alone and certainly didn't want anyone to talk or pester him around.

Salsa was in rage, but she can do nothing about it. Everyone in Aviona's funeral didn't even gave them a look of acknowledgement because no one knew about them and the fact that Collet was Martin's daughter.

When the funeral was over, Salsa attempted to talk to Martin for one last time, but securities came to stop her.

"How dare you stop me! Don't you know who I am?" Salsa wanted to announce right then who she was and who the child with her was. She can't take anymore the fact that everyone had been ignoring them where in fact the child she was with was the next heiress of LGC.

"I know who you are," It was Margo who answered. She had seen Salsa earlier and knowing her temperament, she will likely to make a scandal if things wouldn't go her way, so Margo intervened. She went closer to Salsa and whispered to her, "Think twice before you make a scandal. Remember if LGC goes down because of what you are about to do, then your daughter will have nothing to inherit,"

Salsa calmed instantly at this, but she still gave Margo a hard glare. She looked around and saw the confused faces of those whom she managed to interrupt because of her loud protest and decided that she was not willing to ruin Collet's inheritance. With that, she walked away from the crowd, ready to leave.

She and Collet was already in the car when she realized Margo followed them.

"You dare show yourself up here. If I know you were just too happy Aviona and Ava died," Margo was totally disgusted about Salsa's audacity.

"Collet have all the right to be here, Isn't Ava her sister aftercall?" Salsa faced and arched a brow at her, "Not to mention, she's the heiress of the company you are working for,"

"Salsa don't put your hopes too much in it," Margo tried to pull her spirit down, "The last time I check, Martin's name and signature do not appear on Collet's birth certificate and also if everyone will know about her, do you think Aviona's grandaunt will not interfere in Ava's wealth? She will surely make sure Martin will not inherit a single thing from Ava."

Salsa's face grimaced at the thought and she swallowed the will pull Margo's hair because of her words. "What do you want from me Margo? Surely you want something from me or else you won't bother to follow me here,"

"I want a share in Ava's wealth," Margo said straightaway.

Salsa laughed hard at this, "You are not anyway related to Aviona and Martin! How do you think you could inherit from Ava? Only my daughter has the right!"

"With the current situation you are in, I also doubt you can get anything," Margo joined her laugh, but hers sounded sarcastic, "Martin is in estate of despair, he cannot even sign a single paper because of Aviona's death. He's totally useless at this point. Without a legal daughter and a wife, the board of directors would surely ask someone from the Chans to act in his behalf and both of us can get nothing out from that,"

The news came as another shattering announcement to Salsa, "They can't do that, only Collet have the right!"

"Exactly, that's why we have to team up together," Margo suggested, "Make me the legal guardian of Collet and I shall make her known to the board of directors. Without me, no one will believe Collet is Martin's child specially when the Chans also wanted a share with Aviona's wealth. You cannot fight over the Chan's, while I can"

"That would leave me with nothing! If you are to be Collet's legal guardian, you have full control of her money! I'm not a fool to trust you that Margo! You, evil greedy bitch!" Salsa shouted at her face.

"You have no choice Salsa!" Margo insisted, 'Take my offer or take nothing!"

"No!" Salsa rejected, "Martin will be okay few days from now and he will soon visit me and Collet. I don't need your help, Martin will surely get over his grief and remember Collet!"

"Good Luck with that," Margo rolled a big eye at her, "You have to create another Aviona for him to get over with it,"

"Aviona is dead, he'll learn to accept that soon,"

"I'm afraid you had put your hopes into nothing," Margo confidently told her and turned around to leave, "I don't have to force you now, you'll come knocking at my door soon!"

"That will never happen!" Salsa promised. She was not willing to give someone else a chance to exploit something that was meant for them, something that she worked hard for to have.

Salsa did not anymore wait for Margo's reply and went inside the car, slamming the door. She was utterly pissed about the fact that Margo was trying to take advantage of the situation and Martin was acting up, totally forgetting his responsibilities with Collet.

Salsa need to do something to wake Martin up from whatever was drowning him. He had to wake up so he can acknowledge Collet and marry her. If she had to make another Aviona to shook him, she will. She will do everything just secure the money that was meant for her daughter!
