“What?” Jessica’s eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. Her mouth dropped to the floor and her heart raced like a hummingbird's wings. She couldn't believe her ears. Did Oliver just agree to marry her? Was she dreaming?“If you didn’t get what I said then get lost,” Oliver stated coldly, a flash of anger flickering through his eyes. “No, I did! You agreed to marry me!” Jessica squealed. "Did you finally realise that you love me?" A big smile crossed her lips as she began to imagine the wedding- in her mind, she saw herself in a beautiful wedding gown as she walked down the aisle to a waiting Oliver. It was a dream come true! Finally, Oliver had agreed to marry her!She was about to walk around the table to hug him but he stopped her with an icy glare, the aura around him intimidating. “I didn’t say you’re allowed to touch me. You want to get married and I’ve agreed. Don’t expect more,” Oliver uttered in a cold voice that could freeze the air. “It’s ok. I don’t mind as lo

When Claire went home, she had red and puffy eyes. She glanced at her mother and asked, “Mom, was it Dad who told you he was innocent? Did you not go through his case?” Katherine Scott scoffed. She glanced at her daughter and spat, “Are you suspecting your parents of being liars?” “No, that’s not what I’m doing. I’ve been investigating the case and what I’ve found is not only shocking but it shows that Dad was the culprit all along and yet you made me believe it was Oliver’s father!” Claire yelled, unable to stop herself from losing her cool. This was not how she wanted this conversation to go but her mother was already getting angry when all she did was ask her who told her Jason Hamilton was innocent. “Mom, the evidence is there. Even without the embezzlement charges, he would have still been in prison because he and Grandpa committed attempted murder, twice! Sadly, Grandpa died in his early years in prison but he actually murdered Oliver’s grandfather! So, you saying they were w

Wesley Crawford was trying to curry favour with Thalia’s daughter. So, he suggested they go to a mall so that Thalia could like him and that way, Claire would open up to him more. However, he deliberately chose the new mall that was built by the Ford Corporation, knowing Oliver would show up to inspect the place soon.He wanted to show him that he had succeeded in earning Claire’s heart and that Oliver’s daughter was now close to him. It was his way of showing him he would get everything that belonged to him, one by one. Things didn’t go as planned, though, since the mother and daughter had fun by themselves and Wesley failed to join them or spend time with Claire. The only time he felt good was when Oliver appeared looking like he was about to breathe fire from his nose. Wesley watched Oliver's jealous gaze land on Claire. His jaws were tightly clenched and green veins were almost popping out of his forehead. The man looked like he wanted to kill someone.A sense of satisfaction w

Claire frowned when she arrived at the address that the woman sent to her. It was a shabby building in the outskirts of town and when she got close, she was surprised to find that it was a clinic. ‘I never knew we have such types of clinics in the city. What is the mayor doing?’ Claire asked in her mind as she entered the place. The building reeked of urine due to the unsanitary conditions of the place and Claire fought the urge to block her nose. She saw a lady who looked like a nurse and called out to her, “Excuse me, I’m looking for Rosaria Jones. Is she here?” The nurse gave Claire a once over before nodding, “Go straight, she’s in the last room.” After thanking the nurse, Claire walked down the passage until she reached the last door which couldn’t even close properly. There was a small bed in the ward and a battered lady lay on it, her left hand connected to the IV. “Can I come in?” Claire asked. “P-lease, do,” the woman responded. She was none other than the woman Claire

Claire had not immediately told Oliver of her findings because she needed more proof to expose Adam Hart and have him convicted of his crimes. As a lawyer, she knew filing a case without enough evidence could lead to the acquittal of the defendant due to lack of evidence. Since her father had served his sentence for the embezzlement of funds and money laundering case, Claire wanted Adam Hart to pay for his crimes too like he was supposed to. So, in the past few weeks, she dedicated her time to collecting hard evidence against Adam Hart. During the investigations, she also found out Adam had ordered the murder of Rosaria Jones’ daughter because she had overheard some top secrets back then. With all this evidence, Claire was sure Adam Hart would get arrested. She hadn’t seen Oliver in a while, however, Jessica kept sharing posts about the upcoming wedding on social media and how she was enjoying planning for it. Despite itching to expose the family, Claire waited patiently, wanting t
