Chapter 31: The Plantation Was Never Theirs To Sell

The moment Kelsey stepped out of Ruby's car, her eyes slowly lifted toward the large building standing not too far from the plantation fields. She didn't want to go into the building. She wasn't ready to face the Morgan family yet. That was why Ruby had stopped the car near the field instead. The evening breeze brushed softly against her face as she stared silently at the familiar place. Everything looked both familiar and strange at the same time. The cocoa plantation was still functioning. Workers could still be seen moving around with baskets while some trucks stood by the far end waiting to be loaded. But the atmosphere no longer carried the warmth she remembered. It felt tense. Almost unfamiliar. Ruby stepped beside her and adjusted her sunglasses. "So this is the famous Morgan plantation," she muttered while looking around carefully. Kelsey gave a faint nod. "This used to be my father's favorite place," she said quietly. "He practically lived here." Before

Chapter 32: The Real Owner

"You don't get to decide that!" Joseph shouted angrily.Kelsey slowly turned to look at him."Actually..." she replied calmly, "I do."The room fell silent again for a moment before Eveline suddenly let out a mocking laugh."You actually don't, Kelsey," Eveline said with clear disdain. There was no panic in her voice anymore as though she believed she already had power over everything.Kelsey narrowed her eyes."This is my dad's company.""Hmmm, I know," Eveline replied with a nod. "But you must have forgotten that I'm his wife. I own the plantation now.""In your dreams," Kelsey spat out with a scoff.She and Eveline had never gotten along. Growing up, Eveline never treated her warmly whenever her father wasn't around.Kelsey used to wonder why until one day she finally asked her father, and he told her the truth.Eveline was not her real mother.Her real mother had died while giving birth to her.Eveline's jaw tightened immediately at Kelsey's response."You..." she pointed at Kelse

Chapter 33: The Real Owner

Kelsey watched as the police led Joseph away.After she had brought out the original documents a moment ago, the room had fallen into complete silence.The shock on everyone's faces had amused her.Dimitri himself had asked the police to arrest Joseph for attempting to sell the plantation to him using fake documents. Since Joseph had been the middleman handling the transaction, it was reasonable that only he was being arrested for now."Can you not do this, Kelsey?" Laura pleaded as she stepped forward. Tears filled her eyes as she watched Joseph being taken away. "Don't let them take Uncle Joseph. We are family."Kelsey slowly turned to look at her. A dry chuckle escaped her lips."Family?" she repeated.Laura nodded quickly while wiping her tears. But Kelsey scoffed. "Then you don't know the real meaning of family."Her voice was calm, but the disappointment inside it was obvious. As far as Kelsey knows, family doesn't abandon their own. Family doesn't betray each other.Yet what

Chapter 34: The Plan

The following afternoon. Kelsey stood behind a large pillar across from Holloway Holdings. Her heart was beating faster than usual. Even though the entire plan had been Ruby's idea, she still felt nervous. "What if something goes wrong?" she asked Ruby for the umpteenth time. Ruby, who stood beside her, glanced at her. "Relax. Jason knows what he's doing. He won't hurt Kendrick." Kelsey looked towards the building again before quietly asking, "How do you know him?" "He's a friend. You'll meet him later," Ruby responded. "I hope he gets it done without any mistakes. Otherwise, I won't let him off," Kelsey remarked before glancing briefly at Ruby. "And you too." Ruby's lips twitched. "Hey... I'm only helping out here." Kelsey clenched her teeth to hide her amusement. But part of her was still afraid. She could only hope everything went well. Because if anything happened to Kendrick, she would never forgive herself. Just then, the glass doors opened and Wanda walked out

Chapter 35: A Mother's Place

Everyone froze.Wanda stumbled backward.A red handprint instantly appeared on her cheek.Kelsey slowly lowered her hand. Her entire body was shaking. Not from fear, but from anger."You should be ashamed of yourself."Wanda covered her face."Kelsey...""Shut up!"The words exploded from Kelsey's mouth.She didn't want to hear whatever Wanda had to say.Hearing Wanda tell the man to take Kendrick had nearly made Kelsey lose control. And Wanda had actually run away, leaving Kendrick behind.What if it had been real?What if it had not been part of a plan? Kendrick would have been left to suffer alone. Just the thought made Kelsey's chest tighten painfully."He loves you." Kelsey's eyes burned as she pointed at Kendrick, who had run straight into Ramon's arms. "He trusted you."Wanda opened her mouth, her voice low. "I was scared.""Scared?" Kelsey laughed bitterly. "He was crying and begging you with his eyes."She glanced at Kendrick. Ramon was wiping away his tears and saying someth

Chapter 36: Lines That Cannot Be Crossed

Wanda rushed after Ramon like she had been chased.Her steps were fast and uneven, panic written all over her face.“Mr Holloway!”Her voice echoed through the building.People slowed down instantly. Some stopped completely. They already knew something serious was about to happen, because they knew their boss didn’t play with his son.Ramon stopped walking. He handed Kendrick to Daniel to take him to his office.“Daddy!” Kendrick called in a low voice, not wanting to go with Daniel.Ramon knew he was still frightened by what happened. He rubbed his cheek gently and said softly,“Go with him. I will come soon.”“I’m sorry, Kendrick,” Wanda’s tearful voice chipped in.Ramon’s eyes flashed at her angrily, while Kendrick looked away from her.Daniel calmly carried Kendrick away.Seeing they had left, Ramon returned his eyes back to Wanda.“Please listen to me,” Wanda said quickly, breathless. “What happened earlier wasn’t like that. I was scared, I panicked...”She couldn’t finish her wor

Chapter 37: Throw Her Out Of This House

Wanda rushed into the spa with swollen eyes.The moment she stepped inside, several workers looked at her curiously. Her makeup had long been ruined by tears, and her hair was slightly messy from how fast she had left Holloway Holdings.She spotted Doris immediately. She had called Doris as soon as she left the company and learned that she was at the spa.Doris was sitting comfortably by the window, enjoying a cup of tea while a staff member worked on her nails.The moment Doris saw Wanda's condition, her brows furrowed. "Wanda?"Wanda's eyes instantly turned red again. "Mum."Doris straightened up immediately. "What happened?"And that was exactly what Wanda needed to hear.Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks."Mum..." her voice broke halfway.The workers there exchanged glances, and Doris quickly waved at them. "Leave us."The workers obeyed immediately and left.The moment they were gone, Wanda sat beside Doris and started crying properly.Doris' face filled with worry. "Tell me wha

Chapter 38: Thrown Out

Wanda felt her entire body go cold. ‘Throw her out of this house.’ Ramon's words echoed inside her head again and again. For a second, she thought she had heard wrong. Throw her out? In front of Doris? Surely he couldn't be serious. But when she looked at his face, Wanda felt her heart sink. He was serious. The fear that hit her this time was completely different from before. "Mum..." she called, holding Doris's arm tightly in fear. "Stop this, Ramon," Doris ordered. But Ramon didn't even look at her. Magnus immediately stepped forward and gestured toward the entrance. 'Miss Josh, this way, please.” "I said throw her out, not ask her," Ramon's cold voice cut through the living room. "Drag her out." "No... please. I'm sorry." Wanda hurriedly pleaded. Her fingers trembled around Doris's arm like a frightened child. Doris stood up at once. "Stop." But Magnus did not stop. He grabbed Wanda's arm to drag her out of the house as if he hadn't heard Doris at all.

Chapter 39: Choosing Herself.

Chapter 39: Choosing Herself. Saturday morning arrived quietly. Sunlight slipped through the curtains and settled across Kelsey's bed. She opened her eyes slowly and stared at the ceiling. For a long moment, she didn't move. Today was the weekend. The weekend she was supposed to spend with Kendrick. A few days ago, she had been looking forward to it. Now... Kelsey slowly turned her head and looked at her phone on the bedside table. After a while, she stood up, walked to the bathroom, freshened up, and got dressed. "I was beginning to think you had forgotten what today is," Ruby said just as Kelsey stepped out of the room. Kelsey exhaled tiredly. She had just woken up, but she felt weak. "Why are you looking so dull?" Ruby asked with a frown as she observed her expression. She walked closer and added, "Are you sick?" "I'm fine," Kelsey replied with a small smile while adjusting her handbag and walking toward the living room. "Are you sure?" Ruby asked suspiciou

Chapter 40: An Unexpected Visitor

"Little Miss."Kelsey looked ahead toward the entrance of the building and saw Grandpa Luke standing there.Her face immediately brightened.She quickened her steps. "Grandpa."She greeted the old man warmly and gave him a side hug. "Why are you here? I told you to take a long break."There was obvious displeasure in her voice.She had specifically given him a paid break because she knew how hard he had worked for the plantation over the years.Grandpa Luke was old.Kelsey felt bad seeing him still running around for work.She hadn't wanted to force him into retirement because she didn't know his financial condition, and she knew some elderly people hated feeling useless.Still, she wanted him to rest."I know... I know..." Grandpa Luke laughed awkwardly. "I only came to show you my granddaughter."He quickly stepped aside and revealed a young woman standing quietly beside him.The young woman appeared to be around Kelsey's age.She had a calm expression and carried herself profession
