Margret Owen's face registered confusion as Charlie Sr. stared at her, his fists clenched and his eyes narrowed with expectation. He shifted his gaze between Margret and the person lying on the hospital bed, trying to gauge if she recognized him."Who is he?" Margret asked, perplexed by Charlie Sr.'s behaviour.Charlie Sr. felt his chest tighten as he struggled to find the words to explain. He tried to speak, but his throat felt constricted. After a few moments of silence, he finally relented and said, "Forget about it." Disappointed, he turned and walked out of the ward, leaving Margret behind.Margret cast a quick glance at the boy lying on the hospital bed before hurrying after Charlie Sr. As he made his way towards the hospital exit, she caught up with him and grabbed his arm."Charlie, you promised to take me to Daniel. Where is he?" Margret asked, her annoyance barely concealed. She resented being lied to and taken away from home.Once fond of the way she called his name, Charli
Charlie Sr. ended the call with a sombre expression before glancing towards the gate, only to find that Margret Owen had vanished into the streets. Frustration etched onto his face, he let out a muttered curse and swiftly made his way to his car. Despite driving around until dusk, he was unable to locate Margret.Experiencing intense frustration, he reached for his phone and dialled Stones without hesitation. "Please locate my wife using all available resources, even if it means exhausting my family's finances," he instructed before ending the call. He let out a deep sigh and rubbed his forehead, feeling defeated. He hadn't gone to the office with the intention of taking a break and hoping that Margret's memories would resurface, but all his attempts had been in vain.As Charlie Sr. started the car and headed back to the mansion, he was taken aback by a scene unfolding before his eyes. Margret was clutching a baby and holding onto Maggi, while his bodyguards were blocking her path. Ch
Doctor West's face contorted with sadness as he shook his head and spoke in a mournful tone, "I failed to protect her. My carelessness led her to become paranoid, and my impatience caused a heated argument that ultimately led to her death."Charlie Sr. stood up straight, his expression becoming unreadable. Doctor West offered a word of caution, "Be careful," before turning around and walking away. Charlie Sr. silently watched as the doctor's figure grew smaller in the distance.After extinguishing his cigarette, Charlie Sr. made his way to the morgue to meet with Director Gate."I'll be taking the corpse to Houston for the funeral," he informed the director.Director Gate simply nodded in response.Charlie Sr. then sought out Margret Owen, who he found standing alone in a corner lost in thought. His heart ached at the sight of her."It's getting late, let's go," he said firmly to her.Margret turned to face him, her expression hostile. "I don't want to go with you," she stated coldly.
Margret's pupils dilated as she heard Brenda's scream, startled by the unexpected presence of the troublesome woman. Brenda stormed towards Margret, glaring at her furiously and demanding to know why she was there."What the hell are you doing here? Have you not done enough?" Brenda's eyes were puffy from days of crying. "You don't even want to spare his dead body too."Margret tried to remain calm as she spoke to Brenda, "I had no idea he was your husband and I'm sorry for any pain this has caused. Instead of fighting, let's work together to plan his funeral."Brenda's expression grew even darker and she responded with an angry laugh, "You didn't even know he was my husband? That's just ridiculous.""Please, let's not fight. I promise to stay away from him and respect your wishes," Margret pleaded, but Brenda continued to scream and cry in public, drawing the attention of passersby who began to gossip and speculate about their relationship.As onlookers watched, one commented sympath
Chloe had already laid eyes on Margret Owen before she disclosed her pregnancy, but Charlie Sr. remained oblivious to her presence. The news of the pregnancy had left him in a state of shock, and he could hardly believe what he had just heard."What did you say?" he asked incredulously, his face betraying his disbelief.Chloe shook her head and repeated firmly, "Charlie, you can't deny what I just told you. I am carrying your child, and I am pregnant."Charlie Sr.'s hands shook violently, and he gave Chloe a cold stare. Meanwhile, Margret simply shook her head and walked away."You need to terminate this pregnancy," Charlie Sr. grasped Chloe's arm in a flustered manner, his face displaying his agitation.Chloe forcefully pulled her arm away from his grasp and stood her ground. "I will not abort this baby. I'm going to keep it," she declared.Charlie Sr. ran his hand through his hair out of frustration and shouted at her with bloodshot eyes, "What do you want from me, Chloe? I'm a marr
Margret was taken aback by Stones' unexpected request and blinked in confusion. Without saying a word, Stones gestured for her to follow him. Maggi tugged at Margret's gown and urged her to hurry.After handing the baby over to the nanny, Margret and Maggi got into one of the cars in the parked convoy. However, Margret felt anxious when she realized that Charlie Sr. was not in the car with them, and her body tensed up.The driver noticed her uneasy expression through the rearview mirror and reassured her, "Madam, there's no need to worry. Boss is right behind us."Margret's body relaxed, and she let out a sigh of relief. After a 30-minute drive, the convoy came to a stop at a flower store.Margret stepped out of the car and glanced back at the vehicles behind them. She felt a pang of disappointment when she realized that Charlie Sr. hadn't left his own car. "Aunt Meg, why are we at a flower shop?" Maggi asked, sounding surprised."We're here to buy flowers," Margret replied. Together
Amidst the chaos, as Charlie Sr. collapsed onto the ground, the commotion immediately ceased and some mourners quickly slipped away. Maggi hurried towards the altar where the coffin was placed, while Margret and Brenda stood rooted to the spot, seemingly in shock.Suddenly, heavy footsteps could be heard approaching the hall. Charlie Sr.'s underlings, led by Stones, entered the room and were taken aback to find their boss lying motionless on the floor.Filled with panic, Stones rushed towards Charlie Sr. and pressed his thumb against his neck to check for a pulse. Breathing a sigh of relief, he was able to confirm that Charlie Sr. was still alive. With the help of his comrades, Stones lifted Charlie Sr. up from the floor and carried him out of the hall.Margret had regained her composure after being too shocked to ask earlier, and she anxiously inquired, "Is he okay?" Stones cast a cold glance at her before departing from the hall, leaving Brenda frozen in place, afraid to make a soun
Charlie Sr. had an anxious expression on his face, fearing that the child might not be his. He nervously asked the doctor, "Doctor Francis, what does the result say?"Doctor Francis smiled and extended his hand for a handshake, saying, "Congratulations, the baby girl belongs to you."Charlie Sr. was overwhelmed with joy, and his body shook with excitement. He asked the doctor for reassurance, "Are you absolutely sure?"The doctor confirmed, "Yes, I'm 100% certain."Charlie Sr. beamed with happiness and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much." The doctor nodded and left the ward.Charlie Sr. turned to Stones, his anxiety evident on his face. "I've been out for three days. How's my wife and baby doing? Have you been checking on them?" he asked, hoping for reassuring news.Stones hung his head, feeling guilty. He hadn't been able to check on them. Charlie Sr. noticed Stones' lack of response and asked, "What's the matter? Why aren't you saying anything?""Chairman Charlie, I apologi
