[WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS AN UNSETTLING SCENE] EARLY in the morning, Albert was in the middle of a meeting with Alison when he received a call from an unknown number. He doesn't want to answer the call, but there's a voice in his head telling him that he needs to, when he answers it. He is surprised to know that it is Latton telling him that she was released from the facility and will not return home for a while. Before he could even object, the call was already disconnected, and when he tried to dial the number, it could not be reached. He frowned, "What are you planning?" He thought to himself as he tightly gripped his phone. Alison saw the look on his face and asked, "Who was it?" "Latton," he mumbled. "She's out of the rehab, but she's not coming back," he added with gloom on his face. Alison scoffed, "Don't worry about her. She's broke, she'll return soon." He heaves profoundly, "You're right. She's just acting stubborn. When the money in her pocket runs out she'll r

JOHN’s jaw drops while listening to Lucian's story. He was so stunned that he couldn't even drink the beer he was holding. He could see his friend was deeply hurt by the turn of events. “Who would have thought this is how their story ends?” John said to himself. “You should be happy for her. She’s married and was about to have a child.” He commented in a low voice. “You don’t understand, John. That should be me. If I found where she was institutionalized. If I stayed in the hospital when he got shot. If I have explained myself to her or if I answered her calls when she woke up. It could have been us.” “Well, it's not and that’s how cruel reality is. You have your chance many times and waste it. Now she has moved on. Based on how you said it, she’s happy and you should too. It’s time for you to let go, Lucian,” John explained. Lucian frowned, “I can’t,” he said to himself. - Meanwhile, at York’s Villa. "The Ripley manor is my home. We should stay there. It’s way bigger than this

AFTER 6 months of investigation, countless interviews, and dead-end evidence, LAPD Officers H. Gilberts and J. Peralta exhausted everything they had. “I got nothing,” Officer H. Gilberts says. “Same here. Sad to say we have another cold case in our hands,” Officer J. Peralta says as he puts the case files inside the box. - Meanwhile, at Caldwell Inc., it was Lucius's first day as the VP of Operations, and he went to the office 2 hours early to familiarize himself with his daily tasks and new team. He was lucky that his previous secretary, Chloe, remained loyal to him, and when he called her she instantly resigned from her secretarial position in one of the Ripley International subsidiaries. - Concurrently, Victor was sitting in the back passenger seat with Latton and his face conveyed annoyance and envy. He has been sulking for a while but Latton seems to ignore him. He can’t take it anymore. He coughs vigorously, then says, “I’m beginning to be jealous here. You’ve been back f

EARLY in the morning when Kirby Johnson discreetly drove to York’s Villa. “What brings you here this early, Kirby?” Latton asks as she walks down the stairs still in her sleepwear. “You need to know something about the company,” he declared anxiously. She frowned and sat beside him in the living room. “There are anomalies in the last financial reports, forged invoices, missing money, under-the-table projects, and everything began when Miss Gardner joined the company. At first, it's only a few hundred thousand, then it turns to…” “... How much do you think she got?” She intervenes. “Around 50 million…” She gasped. The veins on her forehead started to bulge in rage, “Have you told my father about this?” “That’s why I’m here,” he says as he lowers his head. “I told him and he did not listen. He doesn’t listen to reasoning anymore. I’m afraid if this continues Ripley International will fall. I’m your father's right-hand man, but my loyalty remains to your grandfather’s legacy, whic

ALBERT and Alison thought Latton still had no idea about their plans, but little did they know an internal audit was ongoing in secrecy. They were clueless regarding what was about to happen in the coming month. Meanwhile, Victor asks Latton to accompany him to work as his secretary, Madison, is on leave, and he hates being alone in his office. That's what he told her, but deep down he just wanted to flaunt to everyone that he had Latton tightly in his grasp. “Is it okay if you bring this to Lucian?” Victor asked. “He needs to sign it,” he added. Latton glared at him then hesitantly took the folder and went to the CEO's office. To her surprise, Jenny, the CEO's secretary, was not at her table. She’s about to walk back to the COO area when suddenly she sees the door to Lucian’s office is slightly open. “He might be inside,” she mumbles to herself. She pushes the door only to find it empty. She’s about to leave when she suddenly bumps into the table and accidentally lets go of the fo
