“Well, what is it?” Scarlett asked. She looked at her watch and said to her three visitors, “Please. I still have a dance practice with Kaleb. I can’t miss it.” Scarlett was looking straight at Cindy, Courtney, and Analisa. Her patience was wearing thin at how the three were stalling. “Your sister, Courtney, is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice,” Cindy finally spoke. “For you.” “Oh,” Scarlett replied, her brows raised as she reacted. “That’s surprising.” Instantly, she saw how Courtney’s eyes watered. She reached for a tissue from her bag and wiped the corners of her eyes. “What sacrifice are you going to do for me, my dearest sister?” Scarlett asked, utterly curious. “Scarlett, Courtney will end her relationship with Luca. She figured, you are still so hurt about your breakup with Luca that you are making it difficult for us - you know, with your father’s will,” Cindy explained. “Sister, I did not want to make things difficult with father. He is really going through so

“How about a beach proposal?” Gaby suggested. “Kyle did that on his anniversary proposal.” “At the rooftop! Hire a private chef. Get a helicopter ride!” Kate advised. “I saw that on TV. Seems great!” “You can surprise her at the office,” Kenzie added. “An intimate one is fine too, son. Just… do it right,” Samantha also gave her two cents. The ladies surrounded Kaleb as he sat on one chair in front of the table. Scarlett settled across from them, feeling sheepish at how Kaleb’s family was practically planning his proposal right in front of her. “And what kind of proposal is that when you simply put it in her hand? While sleeping, I might add,” Kenzie questioned. Wincing, Kaleb turned to his elder sister, asking, “Wait? Did Andrew propose to you that way? Because as far as I can remember -” “This isn’t about me?” Kenzie swayed her finger in front of Kaleb. “Nope! This is about you - learning from all of us… Because you know how each one of our husbands asked our hands in marria

The party concluded two hours before midnight. Many of the guests have already left, but the Wright siblings were still enjoying their chat. While sitting in front of the same round table with Kaleb, Scarlett finally had the chance to check her mobile. Her eyes widened seeing how many calls she had missed, all of them, coming from Cindy Barnes. She turned to Kaleb, and he was quick to pick up based on her worried expression. She tilted her head in the direction of the huge double doors and Kaleb nodded, silently agreeing. Soon, she made her way outside. Scarlett found a good private spot where three sofa seats were set up in one corner. She sucked in a breath before making the call. “Scarlett, I need your help,” Cindy quickly answered. Composing herself, Scarlett thought back. ‘How would I normally answer this?’ “My help? That’s the first,” Scarlett remarked before asking, “What do you need, mother?” “Look, Scarlett. I would not come to you if I did not think I had another ch

Weeping in her room, Courtney said to her mother Analisa on the phone, “Mother, the plan is not working! Luca caught me in bed with Elias! I told you, I never liked this idea! I want to see you -” Courtney’s words were cut off. Analisa warned her against it, “No, don’t! Luca had men come over here. You are safer there. Just tell Cindy that you broke up with Luca and he has gone mad! Don’t let him enter the mansion.” “Arrgh! What do we do now? Father is missing, and we did not even get anything yet.” Courtney cringed. “Poison Cindy! Give her an entire bottle. That will surely get her killed in one go!” Analisa suggested. “What?” Courtney objected. “How will that work?” “Philip would have died either way. I just hope he is not being treated somewhere, but we can speed up Cindy’s death. Then, you get whatever you can. I’m not comfortable with Philip being missing. Something is up and I don’t like it! I told you never to trust Aurora! You should have poisoned her as I told you to!” A

“Misses Hogans, I just want to thank you for giving me a chance,” Scarlett said in front of her boss, Jessica Hogans, after missing two full days of work. Scarlett was skeptical if she still had a job, despite informing HR about her situation. However, following her mother’s decision to hire a private prosecutor, she brought the case to Longhills And Hogans Associates. She was deemed a client, and that added a plus point for her. “You are going to have to make up for your absences, Miss Barnes,” Jessica suggested. “You are going to be extended in trademark and patent team, plus overtime. Mind you, I am only giving you one week of leave. If you can’t return, I suggest you voluntarily resign. I need people to move my company, Scarlett, not put it on hold, regardless of your personal reasons. You can reapply when -" “That won’t happen. I promise to be back next week. Misses Hogans, thank you so much for the understanding. I swear to make it up to you,” Scarlett replied with a heavy s
