Decision

'' What? Grandpa's company will be taken over by us ? since was this decision made ?'' asked Robin. '' Today, by Lord Bradley himself. He had talked with another branch company of ours and he learned that Campbells are facing loss in business and it's in our territory so your Dad wants to take it over so that Madam Lucy will accept you as her husband '' replied Chris.

Hughes was about to say something but then Gray stopped him from doing that. ''We understand very well what you are trying to say here, Mr.Kevin. We will abide by the rules you and Grandpa have set for us '' Lucy said with her head held high. She didn't care about the way others thought of her. '' I hope everyone will understand this too, it's for your good, or else becoming the CEO will be just a pipe dream to you all.

Their hatred

Lucy was somehow able to recover too little of the work she had lost previously. She was much discouraged by this. It was around evening now that she was able to do it half from the scratch. Her siblings were doing their work without looking at her. She felt very much angry about this. On top of that, she had to send all of it before the office is closed this thought was making her feel even more depressed than ever now. '' How will I be able to do everything in this short time?

He would like all of them to come along with their partners. He'll be holding the party in his mansion which is in the next city. Lucy was very happy to hear that. All of them were waiting for Nicholas to shut up. When the video conference finally ended Kevin turned to them to speak something but then he was interrupted by Olivia. Her opinion is as follows '' Why did he say too good things about Lucy and such harsh comments about us? what did we do ever to him? He doesn't have the right to criticize us like that ''. ''Exactly just because we have been keeping quiet about it doesn't mean that we will bear with all the insults do
