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
Chloe's lips twisted into a sneer as she glanced around, her eyes narrowed. "Guess," she spat out.Margret's heart pounded with fear as she struggled to comprehend the dangerous situation she found herself in.Chloe laughed cruelly at Margret's reaction and sneered, "Trying to escape? It's too late now. This is the end for you, Margret, and there won't be a second chance. You should just die and be done with it.""What have I done to you?" Margret shouted at Chloe, unable to understand why the woman wanted her gone. She had never wronged her in any way.Chloe's face darkened at Margret's question, and she strode towards her, slapping her hard across the face before launching into a furious tirade. "You don't know what you've done? You're a husband-stealer who doesn't respect the sanctity of marriage!" Chloe slapped her once more before stepping back.Margret fixed a stubborn glare at her and yelled, "I have no idea what you're talking about. I've never been interested in Charlie, your
As Doctor Francis approached Charlie Sr., he noticed the man's worried expression and heard him speak in a deep, troubled voice. "I'm afraid my wife is dying," Charlie Sr. said.Doctor Francis was taken aback by the news, but before he could respond, he was ushered into a ward. There, he saw Margret Owen lying in a hospital bed. Acting quickly, he placed his stethoscope on her chest and listened intently. Relief flooded over him as he heard the sound of her breathing."Excuse me, Chairman Charlie, but I kindly request that you wait outside. We need to begin the treatment immediately," Doctor Francis informed Charlie Sr.Charlie Sr. attempted to negotiate, asking "Is it not possible for me to remain here and wait?" However, Doctor Francis declined, stating firmly "I'm sorry, but your presence will be a distraction to us."Charlie Sr. abandoned the notion of remaining and departed. He paced anxiously to and fro by the ward's entrance, while multiple nurses entered and exited the ward.A
Charlie Sr. gazed at his phone's glowing screen for a considerable amount of time, lost in thought. Eventually, he came to a decision and set the ringing phone aside.As the convoy pulled up to the hospital, he carried the baby in his arms and led Maggi inside. Stones greeted him upon arrival and relayed a message from Madame Agnes, "Boss, Madame Agnes requests your immediate presence at the family mansion."After handing the baby over to Maggi, Charlie Sr. instructed Stones to ensure the baby and Maggi were comfortable. He then turned around and left.Stones watched as Charlie Sr.'s figure and bare feet receded into the distance, his face creased with worry. Instead of heading to Madame Agnes' mansion as expected, Charlie Sr. got into his car and instructed the driver to take him home to his own mansion, the convoy sped off.****Chloe paced around the room, her face twisted with anger. She knew that Margret had been rescued, and it made her furious and unsettled. "That woman will de
Charlie Sr.'s expression turned grave as he feared his grandmother would follow through with her plan. He dropped to his knees and pleaded with her apologetically, "Grandma, I promise I'll go to the company tomorrow and stay away from her. Please don't harm her," his heart beating rapidly with anxiety.Madame Agnes waved him off and spoke in a cold tone, "This is your last chance, Charlie."Charlie Sr. breathed a sigh of relief and left Madame Agnes' mansion. Rather than heading to the hospital, he went straight home, knowing he had to be at the company early the next morning.Charlie Sr paced back and forth on the balcony, constantly checking his wristwatch. He finally decided to call Stones, and the latter picked up after a few rings. "Boss," Stones greeted him over the phone's speaker."How is she? Is she awake?" Charlie Sr's voice was filled with worry."Yes, boss," Stones confirmed.Charlie Sr fell silent for a moment, his face showing a mix of emotions. He then asked with hesit
Brenda hesitated for a while, but eventually, she decided not to return to the bar. Instead, she went home and locked herself in her room. She played the tape and watched it intently, her eyes widening in shock. As she continued watching, her expression changed, and she began to grin widely, eventually bursting out into insane laughter.Afterwards, Brenda walked towards the screen with a smug smile and took the tape out of the player, her eyes narrowing. "Chloe, you may enjoy this for now, but remember, when the time comes, I will make you suffer even more than you can imagine," Brenda vowed menacingly.****The following morning, Maggi gazed at Margret with enthusiasm as Margret revealed that she had regained her memories. "Aunt Meg, your name is Margret?" Maggi asked in amazement, recalling the abusive man who always referred to her as Margret.Margret nodded without hesitation, acknowledging the truth. Maggi's countenance shifted to a more serious one as she inquired, "Does that m
