Butler Mark interrupted before Caleb could respond. "Our apologies, Ms. Margaret," he said, "Madame Agnes went with Celestine. We will send him back later in the day."Caleb's expression grew tight, and Margaret furrowed her brow, wondering about the nature of Celestine's relationship with Madame Agnes. She turned to Butler Mark and asked, "Sir Mark, I would like to know if my son willingly went with her."Butler Mark smiled and misspoke, saying, "The young master willingly went with Madame Agnes."Margaret's brow furrowed further. "The young master?" she repeated. "Why are you referring to my son Celestine as your young master?"Butler Mark remained composed. "It was a mistake," he said. "We must be on our way to settle some issues."Margaret watched as Butler Mark and his entourage left, feeling uneasy about the situation.The Sheriff approached them and remarked, "You're fortunate to have the support of the Whites family. Who are your sons to them? They mobilize all their resource
As soon as Madame Agnes finished speaking, the call abruptly ended. The hall erupted into an uproar, with the Robertson family members discussing the situation at hand. Old Robertson's face turned ashen, as he couldn't believe that Madame Agnes had rejected the possibility of diplomacy to resolve the matter.Feeling defeated, he hung his head in shame. When he eventually raised his head, he appeared to have aged significantly within seconds. "We must prepare to leave Houston before dusk," he said in a defeated tone. This was a stark contrast to the once-conceited Old Robertson, who had led the family to their glorious years and was now accepting defeat before the fight had even begun.The Robertson family members were engaged in a lively discussion, causing the hall to be filled with noise. Old Robertson found it difficult to do anything and decided to leave. However, before he could exit, Declan stopped him and spoke in a disrespectful tone, devoid of the earlier respect and awe.Old
Butler Mark was left in charge of Celestine by Madame Agnes, as she went to meet Charlie Sr. who was waiting for her in her pavilion."Charlie, you should have informed me before coming," Madame Agnes remarked as she entered the pavilion.Charlie Sr. stood up and respectfully bowed his head, addressing her as "grandma".Madame Agnes scrutinized his face before taking a seat and gesturing for him to do the same.As Charlie Sr. began to speak, he said to his grandmother, "I apologize for not calling ahead of time. Mother, I must express my concern about ostracizing the Robertson family from our long-time partner without consulting anyone. This decision will not only affect the Robertson family but also threaten our relationship with other aristocratic families in Houston. It may result in a revolt against us."Madame Agnes' expression darkened, and she responded coolly, "Do you suggest that I should have consulted with you before making such decisions?"Charlie Sr. was taken aback and s
Caleb raised his eyebrows and greeted the court bailiff, "Hello, sir. Who are you looking for?"The court bailiff was momentarily startled. He had seen Charlie Jr. several times on the screen, and the kid had left a deep impression on him. But he quickly composed himself and said, "Is this Margaret Owen's home? I am a court bailiff, and I have a letter from the court for her."Caleb pursed his lips tightly. Margaret's voice came from inside the house, "Caleb, who's at the door?"Caleb opened the door wide, revealing the court bailiff. "Why are you keeping him at the door? Quickly invite him in," Margaret instructed Caleb.Caleb reluctantly invited the court bailiff into the living room. Margaret told Caleb to go to his room, and he did so reluctantly.Once Caleb had left, the court bailiff settled down in the living room.Margret apologized to the Court Bailiff, acknowledging that her son had kept him waiting at the door. She added warmly, "You are welcome here."The Bailiff was pleas
Celestine gave Stella a reassuring look before making his way over to the piano. His calm demeanour even caused the Boss of the musical school to furrow his brow in confusion.As Celestine pressed down on the first key, a beautiful melody filled the room. He started slow, captivating everyone with his masterpiece.Suddenly, the tempo picked up and the notes became sharp, only to then slow down dramatically. It was so pleasing to the ears that the Old man couldn't contain his excitement, his entire body trembling with joy. The old man's expression became more and more ecstatic as Celestine played.Even the previously stern and intimidating thugs couldn't help but lose themselves in the music. They knew, without a doubt, that the Old man had been defeated.With a final tap of the last key, Celestine brought his melody to a close.The Old man was getting impatient and asked, "Who taught you how to play the piano?"Celestine didn't want to reveal that Madame Agnes had hired a professional
Margret was startled the moment she heard Daniel's voice, and quickly pulled the gate open. The smell of alcohol wafted into her nostrils and Margret wrinkled her nose as Daniel stumbled closer to her.“Daniel, what are you doing here, drunk?" Margret asked in a cold tone.“Margret, please, take me in, I love you, and I am sorry for all the things I have done to you, forgive me, Margret" Daniel pleaded.Margret dodged his waving hand and caught sight of his phone on the ground, she picked up the phone and saw that her picture was the screensaver, she paused momentarily. Before she could dial Brenda's phone number, car headlights beamed on them and Margret's face turned pale the moment the car nearly rammed into them. However, the car abruptly came to a halt.Brenda alighted from the car looking very mad "Margret, did you get Daniel drunk, so you can sleep with him, and get another wild seed for my husband?" Brenda asked coldly.Margret face darkened and she reposted "what nonsense ar
Charlie Jr took the phone from the outstretched arm of his assistant, Salvation, and as soon as he looked at the screen his pupils dilated and his face darkened."Who is this boy?" He asked Salvation."Sir, it is rumoured to be the son of Margret Owen and Mr Jones, although it is unclear why he looks like you and your father," Salvation replied.Charles Jr furrowed his eyebrows, deep in thought. "Carry out a DNA test immediately," he commanded. "I would like to know if the child belongs to Mr Jones as is rumoured."Salvation bowed his head and hastily left the office, while Charles Jr grabbed his coat and left as well. He drove to his parent's house, where he had moved out when he began his own company.The servants bowed in greeting when they saw him - "Young Master Charles Jr." - and Charles Jr smiled back before entering the house. Inside he saw his mother Chloe, who appeared surprised to see him."Charlie, dear," she said, standing up and opening her arms for an embrace. After a f
The stranger was Charlie Jr.'s assistant Salvation, he replied "please, is Mr Steve home? go get him out, he is owing me"Caleb retorted haughtily "wrong address."Caleb had just been about to shut the door in his face, when Salvation flung out his arm, blocking his exit. His expression was dark and menacing as he spoke in a deep voice. "I won't leave until you get Mr. Steve out here. Otherwise, I'm not afraid to cause trouble."As the commotion at the door grew louder, Celestine, who had been inside the house, asked, "Caleb, who is that at the door with you?"Salvation swiftly grabbed a strand of Caleb's hair the moment he turned. Caleb's frown deepened, and he was about to snatch his hair back when Salvation stepped back and drove his foot forward.Caleb snorted coldly and attacked, but Salvation promptly blocked his move and the two were soon engaged in close combat. Even though Caleb had been taught martial arts by a martial art Sect. since he was five, Salvation's taller height a
