Later that day, Jacob was called to the CEO's office again. This time, Tristan gave him a black card and was instructed to give it to Belle.Tristan's exact words were, "Give this to Belle, she can use it to purchase everything she needs for her job. Clothes, shoes, bags, or whatever it is she needs to function properly at work."Although he was confused, he could only follow his boss' instructions. 'Why was I not given a black card? I've been working for him for years!'He wanted to feel jealous of Belle, but thinking about it, he knows fairly well why he is doing this. He couldn’t help but smile at his friends.In the office, Belle's been staring at the card on her table for several minutes now. She still can't believe what she's seeing before her eyes.'Is this really a black card? And can I use it?' Her mind is in deep thought but she can't stop herself from smiling."I take back what I said before. He isn't stingy, sorry," she tells Jacob, chuckling. Jacob wants to respond to her

Tristan entered the venue right after he stepped out of the car. He went in alone as Jacob still needed to pick up Belle and Agnes.He headed to the lounge and found his grandfather, sitting there with a wineglass in his hand. “You’re late,” the old man told him, Tristan chuckled.“No one’s even here yet,” he retorted.“The Williams called me yesterday, they told me they’re visiting next week,” he informed his grandson of the upcoming problem.Tristan’s forehead creased. He called a waiter to ask for a drink, “What do they want?”Frederick shrugged, “No idea, they just said they were visiting,” he chuckled. Implying he knows there is something else behind the visit.Tristan was about to say something when another waiter called for them. They were informed that the visitors were already arriving.The grandfather and grandson duo had no choice but to walk out of the lounge and welcome their guests. They were standing side by side facing the entrance, both looking like royalty.The first

Meanwhile, at the Williams Villa, Esme keeps thinking about what she saw earlier. At the banquet, when she was about to go to the restroom, he even saw Tristan helping Belle out.De Clarion Empire’s CEO led her to the elevator and even carried her in. She waited to see where the elevator would stop, but it kept going until it reached the topmost floor, the VIP suite.‘What is her relationship with Tristan? Why was she so close to him? It can’t be, this can’t be happening!’The face of the woman she saw earlier is way too familiar for her to deny that she knows her. It is her indeed! It’s none other than Yssabelle Williams, Lawrence and Rose’s daughter.Years ago, after the search and rescue team reported that they failed to find her and announced that Yssabelle was dead, Esme wanted to make doubly sure. He contacted three investigators to look for her in nearby hospitals, not just in Bree, but in Dale as well.Two days later, she received a report that a child around the age of 6 to 8

At the De Clarion Empire, Tristan and Jacob were busy going thru important documents when Belle came, “Sir, Joyce is here,” she announced as she opened the door wider to let the woman in.“Are you busy?” Joyce asked Tristan before coming over and kissing him on the lips.Tristan was shocked. It'd been a while since Joyce last kissed him on the lips. Although he feels happy, he can’t help but think, ‘What is going on with her?’Jacob found the woman’s gesture a bit awkward as well, so he excused himself. When he comes back to their office, Belle is talking to someone over the black phone.“Just let them up, I’ll go to the lounge,” she told the person on the other line.“A visitor?” Jacob asked and she nodded.“Lawrence Williams is coming up,” she told the CEO’s assistant. Jacob nodded at her.“Please wait for them,” he told Belle before heading back to the CEO’s office to let Tristan know.Belle nodded at him. She went to the pantry to prepare coffee for the visitors, then she took it

Meanwhile, at the CEO’s office, Joyce is still crying. No matter how Tristan tells her that the marriage will only last for a year or two, she won’t stop.For her, just the thought of Tristan marrying someone else, other than her, already breaks her. She can’t bear it, even if it’s just for show.Joyce isn’t from a rich family. Her mother was a maid from one of the affluent families living near the De Clarion Villa, which is how she and Tristan met.They would play almost every day before Tristan was hospitalized and even after that. She would even stay overnight at the villa sometimes.Her mother’s employers were generous enough to send her to school. Because of this, she was able to study at the same high school as Tristan.The two got separated when Tristan moved to Shaston for college. When he came back, they finally got a chance to be in a relationship.However, since he is a womanizer, their relationship has been on and off. Their recent breakup was fourteen months ago, the long
