At the Earl Group, President Earl was in a meeting with Director Price and Director Hall discussing their new roles. President Earl looked at them and said, “Please try to finalize the handover to the acting directors.I will ask the HR Director to issue letters to the acting directors and acting managers. Please let me know should you need help.”At that moment, President Earl’s phone started ringing. He smiled broadly when he saw the caller ID. He excused himself, then he said, “Hello, Sweetheart. How are you doing?”Penny smiled and replied, “Daddy, I just received a call from Bella indicating that she missed me. She asked me to visit her sometime. Even though Bella hurt me deeply, she is still my sister, and I am willing to forgive her, Daddy.”Her father was moved to tears and said, “You are such a sweet child, Penny. I will accompany you to the hospital, Sweetheart. What time are you leaving, my dearest daughter?”Penny smiled and replied, “I will go to the hospital after work, D
Mr Earl looked at his daughter with eyes full of pain and said, “Sweetheart, your forehead is bleeding. Don’t you want to go to the Trauma Unit and check if you are not seriously injured?”Penny shook her head and replied, “It’s just a superficial wound, Daddy. Please take me home.” Then Penny and her father went to the parking lot.Her father looked at her with sorrow in his eyes and said, “Sweetheart, please forgive me. I thought I was helping Bella since she was innocent in this mess.Unbeknownst to me, I was giving her a weapon to attack you. I have failed you again, my dearest daughter. I am so sorry.Since Bella doesn’t appreciate my kindness, I will stop paying her medical expenses. Also, I will remove her from my medical aid. I hope she will never regret it.”Penny smiled with tears in her eyes and replied, “It was not your fault, Daddy. Bella is evil-hearted like her parents. Daddy, I was looking forward to our reconciliation. How naïve I was.” Then the tears streamed down her
Bella was kicking herself for giving Pastor John the pills. She didn’t know what had happened to her heart. She really wanted to reconcile with her sister, but something shifted in her heart when she saw Penny’s stunning legs.She was overwhelmed with jealousy. She wanted to take Penny’s legs. Who gave Penny the right to have legs while she didn’t have them?Unbeknownst to her, Mr Earl was standing outside her private ward listening to every insult she hurled at his beloved daughter. She wished she could press the rewind button.Bella had a deep hatred towards her mother. She destroyed her life. She had never taught her Ubuntu. She told her that Penny was beneath her.A suffocating feeling overwhelmed Bella. She couldn’t breathe. However, she managed to press the bell. Dr Thomas rushed to Bella’s ward. He found Bella had fainted, then Dr Thomas rushed her to the emergency room.When Bella woke up, she started crying sorrowfully. Dr Thomas looked at her and asked, “What is wrong, Bella?
At 4 am, Mr Earl was awakened by Secretary Nelson’s call. He looked at the caller ID, then picked up the phone and said, “Hello, Dash. What is the matter?” He knew that his secretary would never wake him up if there was nothing important.Secretary Nelson scratched his head and replied, “Sir, Mrs Earl has posted on social media that you have removed her daughter from the medical aid, and it went viral. The netizens are threatening to boycott our company.”President Earl couldn’t believe his ears and said, “Dash, thank you for letting me know. Please ask the PR department to remove Tracy’s post with immediate effect. Also, please ask the legal team to send letters to the netizens who are unruly.”Secretary Nelson replied, “Sir, I have already asked the PR department, and they are busy dealing with it.” Secretary Nelson was efficient and a quick thinker.President Earl smiled and said, “Dash, thank you for everything. Having you by my side makes a big difference. What am I going to do wh
At the Eden Public Hospital, after the doctor finished attending to the patients in the Trauma unit, he went to Bella’s ward to examine her.Before the doctor said anything, Bella complained about the nurse, saying, “This hospital is horrible, the nurses are incompetent. I am in so much pain, but that nurse gave me a lousy Panado.”The attending doctor looked at her expressionless and replied, “Miss Morgan, please stop being unreasonable. The nurse is doing everything to keep you comfortable.If you feel this hospital is beneath you, why don’t you transfer to the private hospital? I am sure that they will cater to all your needs.”A surge of anger rose in Bella’s heart when she heard the doctor calling her Miss Morgan and said, “Doctor, please refrain from calling me Miss Morgan. Please call me by my name.Do you think I will come to this dump if I have money? Please give me the strong painkillers immediately, or I will report you to the higher-ups.”Bella hated her biological father,
Lawyer Benz had never been humiliated like that before. He wished the ground could open and swallow him. He looked at Judge Simmonds and replied, “I wasn’t aware of the voice recording, Your Honour.”Then Lawyer Benz looked at Mrs Earl viciously. Mrs Earl opened and closed her mouth, but nothing came forth. It was the first time she had heard of a voice recording. She thought her husband was punishing Bella because of her.Judge Simmonds looked at Lawyer Benz and said, “I don’t understand why you are wasting the court’s time because your client had signed the agreement indicating she would leave with nothing should she commit adultery.”A surge of anger rose in Lawyer Benz’s heart, but he managed to restrain himself and replied, “I wasn’t aware of the agreement, Your Honour.”He didn’t even want to look at Mrs Earl. If he had known about the agreement, he wouldn’t have taken her case.Judge Simmonds raised his eyes and said, “Lawyer Benz, I want to put in the records that Mr Earl does

I am taking you and my children tonight to celebrate my freedom.”Celia smiled back at her boss and replied, “Congratulations, Sir. I wish you all the best in your healing journey.” Mr Earl thanked her, then he went to his bedroom to change into casual clothes. Celia went to the kitchen to prepare food for her boss.Mr Earl was grinning from ear to ear then he dialed her beloved daughter’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Sweetheart, let’s go to His Love Hotel to celebrate. I am free from your mother’s claws.”Penny giggled and replied, “Congratulations, Daddy. I am so happy for you.

An hour later, Judge Bill and others walked to the courtroom and sat on the bench.

Then she said, "I have looked at the evidence presented by Senior Prosecutor May and the closing arguments between Prosecutor Gardner and Lawyer Crane.Miss Cage, your lies led Mr Ferguson to force his ex-wife to abort their baby to avenge the baby that you lost.You have destroyed many people's lives by failing to respect Mr and Mrs Ferguson's marriage.

In the blink of an eye, it was Paula’s trial. It was a media sensation. The netizens were glued to their television.

At the Earl family mansion, Mr Earl was in the living room with his daughter, Penny, and his son-in-law, Clement. He looked at them and said, “Today, I attended Bella’s court case. She looked haggard and thin.Bella thought the judge would be lenient to her because she was disabled. However, the lawyers hired by the deceased families didn’t show any mercy. They were looking for a heavy sentence.In the end, Bella was sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment. She couldn’t believe her ears when she heard the verdict; she fainted. Tracy has destroyed the lives of many people.”Even though Penny and Bella’s relationship was bad, she was still her baby sister. She felt sad for her and replied, “I hope Bella will be in the same prison cell with Mom to help her around.”Her father nodded his head, then he decided to change the subject and asked, “My children, is everything ready for your engagement banquet?”Penny shook her head and said, “Daddy, we decided to postpone our engagement banquet.
A few days after Mr Ferguson Senior was discharged from the hospital, the Saxon bodyguard called Mr Saxon Senior to give him feedback and said, “Hello, Sir. My source told me that Mr Ferguson Senior is recovering well at home.I also heard that his grandson, Thorne Ferguson, had been searching for young Mrs Saxon high and low since the Ferguson family received the medicine.He was convinced that young Mrs Saxon was in South Africa.” Mr Saxon Senior thanked his bodyguard then they hung up. During breakfast, Grandpa Saxon told his family the good news.One month before Storm and Michaela’s wedding, after dinner, Storm smiled at the elders and said, “Grandpa, Mom, Michaela will be undergoing a uterus transplant in the first week of March.Michaela will visit the psychologist, Dr Gray, for an emotional readiness evaluation when she gets an appointment. We were told that he was fully booked for a month.”Michaela had been undergoing a physical examination to check her overall health. The re
When Bryce and Amelia arrived at the Durban Correctional Services, they requested to see Miss Cage. They were ushered into the interrogation room.A few minutes later, Paula walked to the interrogation room. She smirked when she saw Bryce. She sat down and asked, “What do you want, Bryce?”Bryce looked at his wife, nodded his head, then Amelia looked at Paula and said, “Miss Cage, please note that your court case has been set for the 18th and 19th of this month. Please prepare yourself.”Paula was shocked and asked, “How could you set my court date since you know I don’t have a lawyer?”Amelia’s gaze was cold, and she asked, “Whose fault was that, Miss Cage? Didn’t you fire your lawyer because of incompetence?”Paula looked at her and replied, “I made a mistake, Prosecutor Zibi. Where is Miss Bernie?”Amelia shook her head and said, “Senior Prosecutor May is on vacation leave. Do you need me to help you with anything, Miss Cage?”Paula was taken aback when she heard Doreen’s last name
Thorne understood where his grandmother was coming from. She wanted to hold her great-grandchildren before she went to heaven.Thorne looked at his grandmother and asked, “Grandma, I have been asking for forgiveness for months, but you are refusing to forgive me. Am I not your grandson?”His Grandma stopped and looked back at her grandson. She smiled and replied, “My grandson, I have forgiven you a long time ago. However, I don’t want Michaela to be your wife again. She would be better off without you, my grandson.You are so cruel. I don’t know who you took after because your grandfather and your father are kind-hearted. Also, you have an ungrateful heart. If you can search deep in your heart, you will find that you don’t love Michaela.It’s just that she was your backup plan. The only person you truly loved was Paula Cage. After you discovered that she wasn’t the woman you thought she was, you convinced yourself that you loved Michaela, but it is not true.”There was a hint of irrita
On the way home, Mr Ferguson Senior looked at his daughter-in-law and said, “Please don’t tell my grandson about Michaela’s gift. I don’t want him to misunderstand.”Before Gail could respond, her mother-in-law chuckled and replied, “Hubby, the package was received and opened by Thorne. He also saw Michaela’s note.He immediately called his private investigator, Archie, and asked him to track down Michaela. Then he took his car keys and left. I think he is with Archie right now.”Her husband shook his head and said, “I don’t think they would be able to find Michaela.”Gail took her phone and dialed her beloved son’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Thorne, your grandfather has been discharged from the hospital. Did Archie manage to find Michaela?”Thorne shook his head and replied, “Michaela sent a boy to the post office to courier Grandpa’s medication. We are trying to track down this young man. Maybe he will be able to give us more information about Michaela’s whereabouts.M
At the Saxon estate, Michaela looked at their grandfather and said, “Grandpa, I heard that Grandpa Ferguson has been hospitalized for the past two weeks.If I had known earlier, I would have sent the Longevity Health Supplements when we were in Zanzibar.”Grandpa Saxon was moved by his granddaughter-in-law’s thoughtfulness and replied, “You are such a good child, my precious granddaughter-in-law. There is a Saxon flight flying to South Africa that is leaving in three hours.We can give the package to the pilot and ask my bodyguard to fetch it from him when they land in South Africa. Then he can courier it to the Ferguson mansion.”Michaela thanked her Grandpa, and she then went to their bedroom. She took six gold cases of Longevity Health Supplements.She wrapped the gold cases, then she put them in a small box.
