“Are you sure that you are fine going back there?” a soft, worried voice asked.“Mom, you heard what Dad said on the phone. If I don’t go, who knows what will happen to that company? You built it with your own hands, and I don’t understand why you left it for him to manage it despite of knowing that he has poor management and financial skills,” Elaine answered, making her mother stare at her.“That’s your father you are talking about. Speaking of him with total respect,” her mother reprimanded her, making Elaine roll her eyes.“Whatever. He has never treated me well. He treats that girl better than he treats me, his own daughter. Someone can mistake that Rosa is his biological daughter, and I am the daughter whom my mother brought when she married that family,” Elaine said, causing her mother to sigh as she didn’t know what else to say, as her daughter already hated her father so much.“You know that he is forcing you to go there as he wants you to hand over the shares in your hands.

Mrs Parker turned in the direction the woman was looking and was frozen. The little girl looked exactly like Elaine when she was a little girl.“Why does she look familiar?” the other woman said as she also stared at the woman.As someone who had been trained since she was small, Princess felt some gazes on her, making her turn to their direction. When she saw them, she didn’t know why she felt close to the woman at the front.Because they had been talking with Angela, discussing a design they had just seen, Angela noticed when she went silent, and her gaze focused on one side. She turned to see what she was looking at, and when she saw Mrs Parkers, she was frozen. The woman could never have been lied to. She panicked as she knew that from the way the woman was staring at Princess, she already knew who her mother was.“Princess, if the woman asks you who your parents are. Tell her that your mother’s name is Cate,” Angela said in a murmur, making Princess frown and turn to her.“Auntie

“An Italian?” Samantha said, stunning both Scarlet and Austin.When Austin arrived, they had been on the second floor, so they didn’t see him.Scarlet stared at the man, deep in thought. She never thought much about his identity. Only knew that he was Martin’s brother. Cause she was used to seeing him since she was a kid, sometimes, he would visit, other times, on a video call, he was familiar and just like the rest of them. However, now that Sam had mentioned it, she could see that he really looked like an Italian, different from Martin, who looked so much like an American. There wasn’t any resemblance between them.Austin saw her in deep thought and panic, but he didn’t forget to glare at Samantha, blaming her for everything.“This is my uncle Austin. He came to deliver the sewing machines,” Scarlet introduced him to them.“She is Samantha, her mother is Mrs Davis, bet you heard of her from mom. Angela and her mother, Mrs Cole.”After hearing who Samantha was, he stopped getting an

Just as Brian Shaw was walking into the house, he met with Eve who was walking out.Seeing her father, Eve’s eye lit up for a moment before frowning. What was the man doing at home at this hour? Was what the butler said true? However, she soon shook her head thinking that if he had really been demoted, he wouldn’t be at home without his superior decision.Thinking that she had guessed right, Eve sighed in relief and walked to her father happily. “Dad,” she called out.Mr Shaw halted, stared at him deeply as he frowned. Something inside him kept telling him that if he had not played favorites yesterday and sided with the girl, he wouldn’t have lost his position. Refusing to think that the mistake was his.“Where are you going?” he asked coldly startling Eve and she stared at the man in disbelief.“Dad?” she called out as she looked at him worriedly as he had never spoken to him in that tone.Mr Shaw realized what he had done but he wasn’t in the mood of caring about her feelings.“I as

Watching their departing figures, Brian Grant had a cold expression in his eyes.“Hahahaha,” he then started laughing. He had thought that his plans were solid proof, that after being at their mercy for years, he will be the head, making them regret.He had been giving the directors benefits throughout the years, that’s why he had thought that he could now make the move.After all, his father-in-law, Mr Grant, didn’t get along with his daughter. Even though he didn’t know the reason, he could tell from how distant there were. So he had thought that even if he finds out later on, there wouldn’t be any problem. Didn’t the man choose him as his son-in-law to manage the company? If any case, he would be very pleased if he heard the news.He never thought of what would happen if the man finds out before he took over the CEO’s position. He knew, those directors had been taking benefits from him while reporting everything to their chairman.Now, just the thought of the news that he wasn’t a

He grabbed her arm tightly then dragged inside. “You, what are you doing?” Eve asked as she panicked as she had never seen that kind of expression in her father’s eyes. Something about it terrified him.“Let me go,” she screamed as she tried to get out of his grip but the grip was so tightly and she couldn’t bring free.As they walked in the house, Eve’s screams attracted attention everywhere.When they walked into the living room, Brian was startled when he saw his mother-in-law and their grandfather. “Mom, grandpa, good morning,” he said but still didn’t let go of the girl.Seeing the two elders, Eve’s eyes lit up. “Grandma, Great-grandpa, please tell him to let me go,” she said, tears in her eyes.They all looked at the hand holding Eve’s hand causing Mr Shaw’s eyes darkened. “Mom, grandpa. I will be back to keep you company,” he said then dragged Eve to her room.She threw her to her room then locked it from outside then turned to the butler who had been watching his every move, “

“I thought that you had a perfect date with him,” Yvonne said as she glanced at Grace before turning and looking at the road.Grace just stared outside without replying anything as her mind was in chaos. All she could think of was Tristan’s sad eyes when she had chosen Yvonne to take her home.Having not received a reply from her, Yvonne didn’t speak for the rest of the trip.In less than fifteen minutes, they arrived.“You are living here?” Yvonne asked as she looked at the estate she had brought her.Grace hummed then walked out of the car. “I believe that your team is waiting outside,” Grace said before taking the car keys from Yvonne then walking away.Yvonne stared at her departing figure but she was startled by Grace sudden turn. “Thank you for bringing me home,” Grace said before turning to walk to the building.When she got in the house, she found Natalie watching the TV. When she heard the door being opened, she turned to look at her.Seeing the girl’s tired and sad look, Nat
