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
Chloe opened the door to the bedroom she shared with her husband, Charlie Sr, and was surprised to find him packing up his things. She surveyed the room, noting with a sinking heart that this was really happening. "Why don't you tell the servants to do it?" Chloe asked, hoping to start a conversation. Charlie Sr appeared to ignore her, continuing to fold clothes into his suitcase with a determined focus. Chloe sighed, feeling more and more like a stranger in her own home. "Charlie, talk to me," she said softly, approaching her husband. "I know something's been bothering you lately." To her surprise, Charlie Sr suddenly straightened himself up after finishing with the packing. He turned to face her, his face grim and unreadable. "Why are you afraid of your grandmother?" Chloe pressed on, determined to get to the bottom of things. "You've always obeyed her, even when she insisted on us getting married. Is she blackmailing you?" The question seemed to hit a nerve, and Charlie Sr cle
Margret could no longer contain her rage, her entire body shaking with fury at her father's question. "Dad, please!" she whimpered, tears streaming down her face.Despising her emotional plea, Mr Owen continued his interrogation. "They are your children with Mr Jones, why won't you let him meet them? Margret, do you understand what you are doing? You are denying your kids the right to know their father."Caleb's hands tightened into fists as Margret's voice rose. "Dad, stop this now. Leave, just leave!" she demanded.Mr Owen scoffed. "Why are you so mad? I'm only looking out for my grandchildren."The anger in Margret's voice was undeniable. "I wish you had never been my father," she yelled. "Now, get out of my house or I'll call the police and the estate security team!"Mr Owen huffed, turning his back and striding away haughtily.Caleb rushed to his mother, his face etched with worry. "Mom, are you ok?" he asked tentatively. Margret smiled weakly, her eyes still filled with tears. C
Margret briefly turned around and stated, "I have to leave, accept it." She left after that. As Klaus noticed this, the corners of his lips twitched, and he murmured to himself, "Is Margret Charlie Sr's mistress? No wonder her son bears a resemblance to her."Klaus then accepted the offer from the Geek family and made a call.Margret came out of her studio and realized that Charlie Sr. had already departed. She stood there in deep thought. Her eyes flickered as she pondered, "Why do I have this sensation that we've kissed before? It's strange." However, she brushed off the thought and headed towards her car. Right before she entered her car, her phone rang. She looked at her phone to see that Marshall, the lawyer she had told Klaus to arrange a meeting with, was calling.Margret greeted Barrister Marshall over the phone with a smile, "Hello, Barrister Marshal."In response, a crisp voice emanated from the phone's speaker, "Miss Margret, I'm available today. Shall we meet to discuss
Charlie Jr. was lost in thought when his phone rang. He answered the call in a stern tone, "Hello, Salvation. Why did you call?"Salvation replied, "Sir Charlie Jr., your grandmother is on her way to the Geek residence. Aren't you going to accompany her?"Charlie Jr. was annoyed and responded, "She didn't invite me. Why should I go?"There was a brief pause before Salvation spoke again, "There is a boy of the same age as you in her entourage."Charlie Jr. clenched his jaw and reluctantly agreed, "Alright." He hung up the phone and left his office, leaving his escort behind.Upon arriving at his parent's home, the servants greeted him respectfully. Charlie Jr. ignored them and went straight to his parent's room. He entered without knocking and saw his mother, Chloe, crying.Charlie Jr. called out "Mom" His heart ached at the sight of his mother's tears, and Chloe quickly wanted to wipe away the tears on her face, "I am sorry, Mom, I couldn't protect you," Charlie Jr. said in a low voic
As Madame Agnes made her boastful remark, the other aristocratic family heads in the room could not help but chuckle as if they had just heard a clever joke. Old Geek spoke up, "Well if you insist, we will happily oblige." The other family heads seemed pleased at the opportunity to put Madame Agnes in her place. Old Geek signalled for one of his family's servants to bring a piano into the hall, which was promptly done. Old Geek proudly announced his granddaughter who is widely known as "Five Fingers" for her exceptional piano skills. The young girl stood beside him and gracefully sat down at the piano to perform. After her performance, the audience nodded in amazement at her incredible talent. However, Madame Agnes chuckled and snarled in response "She is truly a grandmaster in playing the piano, but it just so-so." Madame Agnes sent the masked boy over, after the masked boy sat before the piano and played it, the tone the girl played earlier paled in comparison. Madame Agnes ch
