Marianne wakes up and is surprised to find herself on her bed. It looks dark outside. The clock on her side table says 5:30 PM, she looks around her surroundings “Why am I here?

She had been too shocked to learn that the brother, that their parents had mourned and got saddened every birthday and his death anniversary, is still actually alive. Kenny was still young at that time so he can’t remember any memory of his older brother, but the photos connote that they were very close to each other.
Marianne grabs Francois’ arm. She wants him to face her properly.“Tell me that you are not joking? Did he really say that his brother is related to the Williams’ family? How? Which brother, Kenny? Is it Kenny? So Kenny is related to the Williams’? Is that right!?” asked a flushed Marianne.

Your presence seems to have brought happiness here,” said Marianne while smilingly looking at Francois.
“Tell him that his mere presence is defiling the peacefulness and happiness here. The birds are even fleeing because of him. Take him out of here!” hissed Marianne, shouting at one of the security guards. Joanna was telling Francois w
“You are the cousin of Kenny Jones. Steven Cole must have wanted to talk to you about what Kenny was like and what Kenny wanted. Although Peter Bennett won the judge ruling with his proven documents, you cannot deny that Steven was like a brother to Kenny. He would know more about Kenny and what he wanted than whatever Peter says,” said Francois to Marianne.
