Madame Agnes got out of bed, her eyes darkened with rage. She glowered at Butler Mark, scorn dripping from her voice "Why didn't the spy I had embedded in the house stop him from executing his plans?"Butler Mark's face whitened in fear. He hastily tried to explain, "Madame Agnes, the spies there aren't skilled in combat. It would have been a one-sided massacre that would have not amounted to much."Madame Agnes's fury increased. She snapped back, "What are you trying to say? Can't you use your brain? It would have held off the attack and reinforced the message, that if anything happened to my grandson, all of you would be killed." Butler Mark was drenched in sweat. He stammered uneasily and replied, "Our spies couldn't settle himself close enough to report on the condition of your grandson. As far as his safety, we know there is no immediate risk."Madame Agnes pursed her lips in annoyance. She pointedly said, "Of course, if he were in any real danger, the consequences for Robertson
Margret hurriedly entered the house, changing into another outfit as quickly as possible. When she emerged from her room, she saw Caleb standing in the doorway."Mom, don't worry, Celestine is alright, he only fainted," Caleb tried to comfort her.Margret was upset and responded, "Caleb, I must go and check on him, if anything happens to your brother it would be my fault."She had not been the best mother, as she was continuously involved in money-making initiatives and travelling. Caleb understood his mother's guilt and embraced her, "Mom, you are an amazing mom, and you made me and Celestine very happy, you gave us everything. You are not a bad mom at all."Margret felt tearful and kissed Caleb's forehead, "I love you, okay?" she said in an emotional voice.Margret headed outside into the courtyard, where she heard gunshots from the City in the distance. She saw Caleb, who was visibly terrified, staring at her."Mom, please, let's visit Celestine tomorrow as it is very dangerous ou
Charlie Sr. didn't hesitate, he followed the nurse; hoping to lay eyes on a boy that looked like him. Likely, this was why his grandmother was in the hospital. Once the ward door was opened, Charlie Sr. stepped inside and noticed that the room was empty. The nurse shivered when she saw his dark expression and nervously grabbed her pinafore.He coldly asked her, “Where is the boy you talked of?” She stumbled on her words, but he had no time for her stuttered response. Putting an abrupt end to the conversation, Charlie Sr. turned around and left the ward, quickly dialling his grandmother's number.Charlie Sr. nervously asked into the phone's mouthpiece, "Grandma, where are you?"The sound of the propellers whirring and the distinct sound of a helicopter engine answered him as Madame Agnes's voice came through the phone's speaker. "I am heading home, is anything the matter?" Charlie Sr. could tell his grandmother was on her way back home. His lips twitched at the corners as he made a
A furious Margret yelled at Brenda, "Do you know what you're doing is against the law? If I sue you, you'll end up in jail!"Brenda laughed coldly in response. "Margret, don't be so stupid. Don't you know I can pay my way out of legal trouble? How about we just kill her and forget about beating her up? It'll be a lot less painful" She grinned wickedly.The four burly men began to close in on Margret upon hearing Brenda's suggestion. Margret planted her feet firmly and prepared to fight back, her vigilant glare intimidating them. One of the men chuckled. "Pretty face, why don't you let us have some fun and record it all? We won't even bother to beat you up if you agree."Brenda's eyes lit up with excitement. She eyed Margret provocatively, Margret chided the burly man, "Are you really worthy of bargaining with me?"Margret fiercely thrust forward her fist, catching the burly man off guard and making him stumble back in painful distress. As he spat out a mouthful of blood, the other bur
Margret and her sons entered the house, leaving Brenda and Daniel outside. Brenda, unsure of who Butler Mark was, didn't dare intervene, knowing that someone with so many extravagant cars wouldn't be someone to joke around with.Brenda shot Daniel a glare and snarled, “Daniel, divorce me and I'll make sure to kill Margret - and it'll be all your fault!”Daniel's eyes filled with fury as he snapped back, “Don't even think about it!”“Aha,” Brenda scoffed with a smirk. “We'll see who has the last laugh.”Daniel was left alone in the courtyard, gazing at Margret's home, as Brenda and her four burly men departed. He shook his head and could hardly believe his luck in marrying this 'daughter of the devil'. Daniel was feeling vengeful, but still couldn't undo his marriage vows. He stepped into his car and promised himself, "Brenda, you will regret not divorcing me."*****The city of Houston was in a state of unrest the following morning as several news stories came to light. It was reporte
Margret withdrew her hand from the doorknob and glared at Sea with a stern expression. "Are you making threats, Sea?" she asked icily.Sea chuckled and took a leisurely sip from his teacup. "No, not quite. I happen to know the group responsible for abducting Millicent. They're a formidable clan, but I won't say anything more unless you join me for a chat," he replied.Margret hesitated for a moment, but ultimately relented and took a seat beside Sea. "Tell me about this clan that took Millicent," she requested.Her eyebrows furrowed in concern, wondering who Millicent could have crossed paths with to incur the wrath of such a powerful and organized group. It was a troubling thought, especially considering that even someone as skilled as Silver had been unable to prevent the abduction.Sea suggested they start talking once Margret accepted the drink. Margret was lost in thought but also curious, so she impulsively took a sip before looking back at Sea."Now that I've had your drink, ca
Mr Jones casually picked up the call and mumbled a "hello" haughtily. Mr Jones was taken aback when he heard Madame Agnes' voice coming from the phone. "Jones, you now have the power to contend with me, how dare you try to snatch someone that I have already adopted?" he heard her say. He was perplexed, unable to recall how he had offended her or how he had caused her anger. He attempted to apologize, but the call ended abruptly. In a state of confusion, he spun around and hastily left the private room with his bodyguards, leaving Margret and Klaus bewildered. Klaus, stunned by Mr Jones' strange reaction, asked Margret, "Is anything wrong with him?" Margret was hesitant about Klaus' question and responded with a furrowed brow, "I'm not sure. Let's just contact Barrister Marshall and forget about him." Despite trying to appear calm, she was deeply worried and disheartened. "I have to go pick up my sons from school, so I'm leaving," she informed Klaus before exiting the studio. As
Charlie Jr. took a moment to think before he exited his office, and then his phone began to ring. He answered it, and made his way out of the company alone.After driving for an hour, he arrived at his destination and nodded in approval. He spotted a plaque at the entrance of the building that read "Secret Bar". He was aware that it was owned by an underground leader and the city surveillance was restricted from the area. The establishment was well known by people who wished to meet clandestinely.As Charlie Jr. entered the bar, he noticed an elderly man sitting in the corner. Feeling apologetic for making him wait, Charlie Jr. introduced himself and said, "Doctor Overseer, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."The doctor let out a warm chuckle and said, "It seems like the younger generation always has something going on. But don't worry, how can I help you?"Charlie Jr had asked Salvation to arrange a meeting with Doctor Overseer earlier, but he hadn't mentioned the purpose of the meet
