Kendrick, who was outside Laura’s room, felt annoyed because he could not listen to the conversation between Laura and someone who had become the personal lawyer of Laura’s late biological mother, Vivian.Why didn’t Kendrick enter to accompany Laura inside? Could it be that Laura already suspected him?Kendrick then began to think. But if what he thought was true, Laura should have already removed him from the company. Yet now, the man was still being kept by Laura.Kendrick’s phone rang, showing Beckett’s name calling him. The man quickly entered his office.Beckett, who was at his company, was shocked when he heard that Marko had visited Laura at Ashdorf Legacy. But unfortunately, Kendrick could not find out what they had talked about, which might be related to him.“Just let it be, Ken. If this fails, you know what to do, don’t you? Don’t let us suffer a loss. That company belongs to my father; it should be entirely mine. Even though she is my daughter, Laura is not the child I wan
With a firm posture, Laura sat in the CEO’s chair, staring at those who doubted her performance. The few days Laura had been absent from the company seemed like a great opportunity for someone who wanted to push her aside and replace her with Beckett—Laura’s biological father.“For some reason, everything I do seems to be altered by someone. That person may wish to bring me down. You always doubt me and will never believe anything I say. That is why I will no longer act weak, nor behave as though I must simply submit to you. I hold the largest shares here, and of course I am the one who has the right to sit in this chair. Even if I do not wish to lead, I will choose for myself whom I will trust. And clearly, that is not my father, Beckett! My grandfather did not approve of all his assets falling into Mr Beckett’s hands. So I hope you understand. Moreover, if someone is struggling and in need of help, you should support them—not try to bring them down!”Laura spoke at length, because o
"So it is true, he did all of this, for my father’s sake? But I cannot blame Kendrick if he really wants to side with my father, only why must he hurt me, stab me in the back, while in front of me that man acts so kind. Disgusting!” Laura fumed after hearing her husband’s words about Kendrick.Now the wife of William Anderson had to think of how to face someone who was by her side yet also her enemy.“Kendrick does not yet know that I am aware of his vile intentions, but what now? I do not know what to do, I am already exhausted by all these problems. What about Michelle, is there still no sign of her whereabouts?”“The latest news is that woman went away from the city, but I feel that Michelle is still around us. Her grudge against us has not truly been settled; I think she must be hiding, not far from us,” said William.“I only fear Michelle will hurt the people around me—mother, you, Cassandra. Michelle is truly outrageous. Would it be better if I went away from you and confronted
Cassandra was truly overwhelmed with great confusion: what should she do, and should Cassandra place more trust in her mother and brother, or believe all the words of others, Serena, and the message sent to her by someone? At this moment, Cassandra only did not want her mother to suffer again, which might endanger her life.Meanwhile, William had now entered his office due to Samuel’s arrival, to discuss something important.“Have you found something?” asked William, as Samuel would not have come to him so quickly if it were not something urgent.“I am looking for the person who spread the false article about Miss Laura,” said Samuel.“And have you found them?”Samuel nodded and then handed several documents to William, everything written down along with evidence that could incriminate the perpetrator who had said something bad about his boss’s wife.“As Miss Laura suspected, indeed Kendrick sides more with Mr Beckett. According to the source I heard, for Kendrick, Beckett was not wro
After a few days had passed, Elara was finally discharged from the hospital, and everyone welcomed her happily, as Elara had finally survived the deadly poison. Security at the Anderson residence was now tightened to ensure the safety of his mother, wife, and family by William. Those working with him were carefully selected individuals who had been thoroughly investigated by William with the help of Samuel. Of course, William did not want any more traitors in his home, a place that should be safe for the people he loved.“Welcome back, Mother,” Laura greeted her mother-in-law, who was accompanied by Cassandra.“Thank you, dear. Shouldn’t you be at the company? You too, William?” said Elara, who had assumed they wouldn’t be home when she was allowed to return.“This is a happy day, and you are the most important person of all. I’m truly glad you’ve fully recovered,” exclaimed Laura.“Don’t get sick again, don’t go back to the hospital. I promise I’ll take care of you, Mother,” Laura sa
“What's wrong with you, Sandra? You've been quiet since earlier. If you're tired, go home, go to your sister's house, and rest there,” said Elara to her daughter, who had been silent after asking permission to meet her old friend.“No, if I go there, my mind will be even more chaotic, Mom. I'm fine here. I can also be more calm here, making sure you're okay,” exclaimed Cassandra.“Why don’t you like Laura? I was even happy when I found out William married Laura. She’s different from Michelle. Laura is a good woman, even though her life with her family isn’t perfect. Laura always treats them well, hoping to earn their affection,” Elara said.“But Mother is sick because of that woman!” Cassandra exclaimed. That was one thing that made Cassandra struggle to accept Laura, especially after all the negative gossip about her.Cassandra’s mind was completely chaotic just thinking about Laura. What could she possibly do to make everything safe? Cassandra just wanted her family to be safe and a
