Some of the tasks I give to Stephanie are all to find her. Greece, South Africa, Los Angeles, and even remote places. I sent Stephanie over there. Unknown to her, there wasn't anything client-related, but I was crossing off search patterns looking for Madison. But Madison wasn't there anymore. It's like she disappeared like she did five years ago here, in New York. I got out of the car as it was packed in front of my apartment. My head was ransacking the information before.

After kicking Stephanie out of the villa, Jacob cancelled all her credit cards and announced publicly that he had cut all ties with her.

She couldn't accept the fact that she was being sent abroad by Jacob, so she lay in wait outside the villa's gates every day for Jacob. The moment he stepped outside, she would cling to him like a venomous snake.

His thought wandered, thinking about Stephanie and Elena. He took his lighter to light up his cigarette when he saw Jacob walking in. “I gathered several information about Lucas Miller and madam, Mr Clark!” Jacob spoke carefully

I sat upright, changing my settings to switch to mails. It was from Dr. Xander with a black envelope as the subject followed by, "You need to see this!" I read out loud. I clicked on the new mail. Dear Becca, Dr. Baldowski managed to compile your memory into a disk and it is attached to this mail. But before you watch, hear me out first. You might have a deep-rooted belief concerning your personality but don't play a personality you are not.
