"You must already know that the head of the Andersons' is Mrs Miranda." "Yeh and?" "But she doesn’t take care of her family business anymore. The others do it for her." "Others as for?" "Others as her sons and grandchildren." "...I see." Silence engulfs the room. Howard and Nina were discussing the Anderson family when Eleanor wasn’t around. Otherwise, this discussion wouldn’t have taken place in the first place since she hated backbitings about her family. She showed such devotion although being mistreated by them every day. It surprised Howard but at the same time, he thought about how pathetic she was. However, what was that strange feeling he was having? To be specific, he was craving for something at the same time he was cursing his wife for being a stupid woman. But, Howard couldn’t figure out what he was wishing to have. He was drowning in his thoughts when suddenly a pair of hands kept running before his eyes. Nina was waving her hands to grab his attention since Howa

"Jennifer! Do a background check on Howard Brown and report me quickly," ordered Miranda. She just woke up from a good night's sleep and couldn’t leave her bed yet. Especially when the weather was nice, she didn’t have any plan to get out before eight o'clock in the morning. However, her usual routine said otherwise. Maybe it was because she was feeling sick since the day Eleanor brought Howard into their house. At first, Miranda didn’t harbour any doubts about Howard. Unfortunately, his response the other day at the dining hall was rather surprising for a mere clerk. Not that the common folks didn’t discuss such topics on business and current affairs! Despite having any relation with the revolutionary world of commerce, common people liked to talk about random topics now and then. So it wouldn’t have been surprising for Howard to know about the business world. Moreover, he was an acquaintance of Eleanor. Thus, it wasn’t surprising at all! But he had a rather clearer idea than any no

"Hey! Wha...what the hell are you doing?" "Shut up!" "LET ME...UNG!"That was the last thing Reynold could say before his mouth got shut. His eyes were already blindfolded, so he couldn’t see where he was being taken like a package without an address.He was on his way to his home after a tiring day in the office. The deal with a foreign company took longer than he had anticipated. Although Reynold had a bittersweet argument that he had wished to forget by having a glimpse of his sweet wife, fate planned otherwise.After all, the day was jinxed! The hard grip behind his neck was painful enough for him to ignore where he was being dragged. For a while, he could only smell a musty odour around him. The mild sound of cranes was piercing through his ears. Reynold could conclude that it was a lively industrial area, but It was hard finding out about which part it was in Roveign city.Just before he works out the clues, Reynold heard someone slamming their way forward and guessed it was

“Can you see her?” “Nope!” “Where is she?” “I bet she’s flirting with the boys!” “Shut up!” Lione cried out from the pain Eleanor inflicted on the spot. "What the! You’re so violent! I don't know how mom finds you polite and kind", she said as she rubbed her right arm. Smirking at her, Eleanor replied," I'm just good at camouflage. Wanna learn?" "As if!" Lione continued her solo treatment. The girls were so busy to notice that Laura was glaring at their way. To be exact, it was Eleanor whom she was staring at. Her rageous eyes could burn her down if she knew. Moreover, fate was never her friend. Eleanor had been giggling while teasing Lione right before Laura came from behind and pulled her aside by the ears. "Ahh..ouch ouch ouch!!" Eleanor tried to fight back only to learn that it was a futile attempt against her opponent. "Girl! You come with me!" "Au…aunt Laura! Welcome back! It’s… haha…it's terrific to see you, but…can you let go of my ear? Ouch!" Although Laura was

“The mine is sold?” asked Erin in bewilderment. “Yes, ma’am. It's unexpected, but it's sold.”“Any information on who bought it.”“Nile Dixon.”“Someone new?”“Yes, ma'am. He has recently opened a construction company here.”“That business won't flourish with Opals around, then why?”Eleanor glimpsed at the file before her. A man's picture, who was in his thirties, was smiling at her. A naive look on his face as if he's someone novice in the business field. Shutting the file in disappointment, Eleanor said, “Look out for him.”“But he seems harmless, ma'am.”“Don't judge a book by its cover. He just looks so, but not a fool.”The informer stood there dumbfounded. However, he didn't dare to ask further. As if he knew, it was beyond his understanding.“I’ll have an eye on him and keep you updated.”“Hmm…Oh! And what about Uncle Evan?”The informer let out a sigh as he stated the situation, “Not good at all. He's signing the deal tomorrow.”“Grandma didn't say anything?” asked Eleanor.
