A Toast
Chantal anticipated for Lucas to make up a story. She expected him to come up with an incredible story to impress the family. Henry on the other hand, quietly listened, waiting for Lucas's answer.
Lucas's eyes were frosty, contradictory to the smile playing on his lips.
"Chantal!" Diana jumped out of her seat and went closer to Chantal.
"Isn't this party about both of you and your fiance?" Wendy sensed the tension on the table.

But when she was about to find her mother-in-law, she saw the car drive off. "Where is mom going?" She asked a maid. "She'll meet up with a friend, ma'am." The maid said, head hung low. 'A friend?'

As soon as Chantal left, the elders wore a somber expression. Nobody knew where to start. After what seemed like an eternity, Vanessa finally spoke, breaking the silence in the room. "I don't understand. I swear I only have twins. There wasn't any indication of it being triplets during my pregnancy." Vanessa remembered. "I swear I only pushed out two babies." Osmond looked towards the elders, seeking help in explaining the details. "That's because you only have twins." Regina finally said. Vanessa's mouth was agape in shock. "What?!

A week before the court date, Clara Holt arranged a secret meeting with a security guard from Hopton Research Institute. They were in a busy night bar. The security guard was young, around her age and looked to be in need of extra cash. Hence, this "small favor" that Clara is asking is most welcome. "Are you sure the recording was successfully deleted?" Clara asked in a hushed tone. The young man grunted. "Of course. I deleted it as soon as you said." His hand itched, waiting to receive the payment. Clara made sure to search his eyes for any lies. Seeing none, she was relieved. She then took out her phone and proceeded to send the money through the app. "Alright. It's settled then. Nobody should know about this. Get it?" Clara tried to sound firm. "Of course." Seeing that the mon

He took up the case just because she approached them. When he was reviewing the case, he was determined to win. Atty. George Stanley was still good with his job. All he can think of now is to not let Diana go scot-free for harming patients. "Do you or do you not admit that you were neglectful in your duty as a Medical technologist?" He probed. "No. I did my job to the best of my ability." Diana couldn't afford to waver in her words. She knows that her words will be used against her if there was even a slight hesitation.
