Sierra watched Aristo's back slowly move away, her confusion mounting. With a troubled heart, she turned to Gama and Jordan, seeking understanding."What's wrong with him? Doesn't he want me to call him uncle," Sierra asked, surprised.Gama sighed. "He's a... complex person. But don't worry too much about him right now. The important thing is for you to focus on your recovery."Sierra nodded, relieved that the incident was over. However, there was still confusion in her mind about Darius and his motives.While Gama, with a severe face, turned his attention back to Darius, "We must focus on what is most important now. Darius is free, but that's a threat to all of us. We need to plan our next move carefully."Jordan nodded as if understanding the complexity of the situation. "Gama, we haven't always been on the same page, but our enemy is Darius. I'm here to help."Gama took a deep breath, seemingly reluctant to accept Jordan's help but realizing the importance of unity in this critical
As Gama and Lopiuy stormed into the library, they encountered a thrilling scene. Darius stood tall, facing a cornered and threatened Lord Featherston. The middle-aged man looked exhausted and suffocated by Darius' firm grip on his collar. "Oh my God, what are you doing to my grandfather? Let him go!" Gama shouted in a voice full of anger and worry. His protective instincts were instantly triggered, his eyes blazing with determination to protect his family. Darius turned around with a stern and defiant expression, his gaze showing no remorse or fear. "Gama! Ah, you've come at last. I only want what is rightfully mine. Lord Featherston here seems reluctant to give me the inheritance rights I deserve. I just persuaded him a little!" Lord Featherston tried to break free from Darius' grip, but his efforts were futile given their strength difference. "This is no way to ask for something, Darius! You can't just take what you want by force!" Lopiuy, who was also prepared, stepped forward,
In a corner away from the hustle and bustle, Ayala watched from a distance through the monitor screen that showed the events at Lord Featherston's residence. Her facial expression changed from calm to panic as she saw Darius being arrested and taken back into custody. He knew very well that with Darius' arrest, it was only a matter of time before all of their plans were exposed and he was targeted by law enforcement.Feeling rushed and with her mind in turmoil, Ayala began to plan her escape. She opened her desk drawer, retrieved some essential documents and passports, and collected some cash that had been prepared for emergencies like this. As she stuffed all these items into her small bag, her mind kept drifting to the terrible possibilities that could happen if she was caught."Damn, everything's a mess now," Ayala muttered as she packed her belongings. "I need to get out of here before things get worse."As Ayala prepared to leave, the house door suddenly opened, and Darius walked
Gama's face flushed as he heard Darius' heartless and cruel confession. His blood boiled, and he could barely believe what had just come from Darius' mouth. "You... you don't have a heart," Gama hissed, his voice trembling with deep anger and hatred. Darius just chuckled, the satisfaction clear on his face. "Oh, Gama, don't be so naive. In this world, people like me are in control. Weak people like your father-in-law are just getting in my way." Lopiuy, who was standing next to Gama, clenched his fists, barely able to stop himself from throwing punches. However, he knew they needed more information from Darius before taking action. "So, you confessed to all your crimes just like that? You think you'll get away with it after all?" asked Lopiuy, trying to keep his voice calm. Darius shrugged as if unperturbed by the situation at hand. "Yes, I admit it. And what, you two can't do much about it? Evidence? You don't have any evidence to pin me down." Aristo, who had previously remained
Gama, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke up. "We will ensure your safety, Ayala. The next step you take in helping us will determine how we can protect you and your family." She continued firmer, "And after giving testimony, I hope you will stay out of our lives. Never appear in my family's life again for any reason." Ayala bowed her head, accepting the decision with a heavy heart. She knew the next steps were her chance to make amends, and she was determined to do her best. "Fine, Gama, I will do as you wish, and thank you for forgiving me." As the meeting at Lord Featherston's house ended, they received news from the hospital where Audie was being treated. After several days in an unconscious state, Audie finally opened his eyes and gradually began to gain full consciousness. The hospital room was silent, only the beeping sound of the monitors signaling Audie's stable condition. Sitting by Audie's bedside, Sierra felt a deep sense of relief when she saw Audie's ope
Audie was momentarily silent, trying to digest the doctor's information. A mess of emotions filled his mind, refusing to believe that what he had just heard was true. "Doctor, please explain once more," he pleaded tremblingly. "How can you say that she is not my biological daughter? I gave birth to her myself!" The doctor took a deep breath, understanding Audie's confusion and pain. "I understand that this is very hard to believe," he said calmly. "The DNA test results show no genetic link between you and your child. I know this is a shock, and I am truly sorry to have to deliver this news." Audie sat down, feeling dizzy. Barbara, beside him, clasped his hand tightly, trying to provide support. "Maybe there was a mistake," she said, trying to calm her mother. "Maybe there was a mistake in the sampling or something in the lab." "Can we do the test again?" asked Barbara, her eyes hopeful. "Sure," replied the doctor. "We can arrange a repeat DNA test to make sure there was no mistake
"Should we go see Gama, Mom?"Audie deliberated for a moment until she came to a decision. "Yes, we should meet with Gama as soon as possible. He might have the information we need."Jordan nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's how it should be, but I'm sorry I can't accompany Auntie to meet Gama. I have a lot of work to do.""No problem, we can go see them ourselves."Audie and Barbara met at Gama and Sierra's residence the next day.The following day, Gama and Sierra warmly received Audie and Barbara. The atmosphere was different this time; there was no longer the arrogant attitude that usually accompanied their visit. This change both surprised and relieved Gama and Sierra, indicating that there might be positive progress in the attitude of their two guests."Why did you come without telling me first? I could have arranged for someone to pick you up," Sierra said in a disappointed yet warm tone, showing concern that she had rarely shown before."That's not necessary; I wanted to talk t
A sudden silence descended upon the room, and all eyes fell on Sierra, who suddenly appeared with a face that showed deep confusion and pain. For a moment, Gama, Audie, and Barbara seemed at a loss for words, surprised that Sierra had overheard the conversation that was supposed to remain a secret from her for the time being."Sierra, are you here? Did you hear all that?" Gama finally broke the silence, her voice full of concern."Yes, I heard everything," Sierra replied tremblingly. Her facial expressions were evident: a mixture of disappointment, confusion, and a strong desire to understand more about her origins. "So, about me not being mom's biological child... then, whose child am I? Where are my parents? Gama, tell me, where are they? I want to know why they left me."Gama took a deep breath, regretting the situation and feeling responsible for giving Sierra the necessary answers. Gama tried to explain in the gentlest way possible. "No one wants you to feel abandoned or unwante
