"Old man, I don't know what you are talking about." Jeffrey said after coming to a decision.
Seeing the sudden change in his attitude, Mr Stone was shocked.
Hasn't he been acting like he was scared just moment ago? Where was his repent attitude now?
"Lavender deserve everything she is going through." Jeffrey continued.
"What did you just say?" Mr Stone asked, his voice sounding angry.
"I'm saying that I'm not going to be intimated by you. We have already won and there is nothing you can do about it." Jeffrey said with confidence.
His daughter had already signed with one of the best entertainment agency, what was he afraid of?
Beside, the public was on their side, they just had to shed a few tears and everyone will feel pity for them.
"So you are not going to repent until you see the coffin right in front of you?"
"Don't try to threaten me. My family is not one to give in to pressure." Jeffrey said.
"I see. I was m
When the reporters saw Caston approach the podium, they marveled.Everyone knew that Caston was not a simple person because his reputation was well known in the entertainment industry.They started to anticipate that a good show was about to unfold.Even Rael, who saw Caston walk the podium was shocked.An uneasy feeling settled in her heart.She had heard of the Caston the miracles he had made both in the entertainment industry and business world.He was like a god of public relation and no one dared to go up against him.Everyone respected him because in their eyes, he deserved the respect.The confidence Rael had a moment ago started to go down.The reporters were excited as they looked forward to what Caston would do to turn the situation around."The reporters present, my name is Caston and I'm here on behalf of Miss Lavender Stone to help clear her name.""I have been in this industry for a long
It was only after Lavender stood up that the reporters came back to their senses.They rushed over to her with their microphones pointing in her direction."Miss Lavender, can you say something?""Miss Lavender, why did not say something when you were being slandered?""Miss Lavender, what are you going to do about the Smith family?"The media asked one question after another.Lavender looked at them with a disdainful smile.Why are they acting as if they cared about her now?They had shamed her, said all the malicious things about her! Now they were acting as if they couldn't wait to get justice for her.Seeing her disdainful smile, the reporters were embarrassed. They knew that they had gone too far with their slandering.There cheeks were hurting too much from the tight slap they have received just now.But for the sake of headlines, they had to be thick skinned and at least interview Lavender.
After the press conference, Rael slumped on the sofa, dumbfounded.Her clothes were already drenched from the cold sweat. Her heart was pounding hard from nervousness as if it could stop anytime.The scheme she had thought was perfect has been turned around just by a few sentence from Caston.She had thought that she was already a winner in this fiasco. She had thought that Lavender was a push over who could just surrender at any pressure.How the hell did she manage to think so much just in a short period of time?Who was helping her behind the scenes?Rael's head felt as if it was going to burst.Jeffrey too, who had already been discharged from the hospital, looked at the television, dumbfounded.What the hell was going on? Hadn't Rael said that nothing would go wrong?Remembering how he had killed three people when he was drunk driving, Jeffrey shuddered.He had thought that he has escaped punishme
With the help of her part time cook, Lavender prepared a scrumptious dinner. Lavender, Robert, Newton, Mr Stone and the children sat on the round table to have dinner. The atmosphere was harmonious as the family ate in silence. Whitney and Ian had been brought up with an aristocratic upbringing. They carried themselves with dignity even during their meal and made very little sound. Lavender on the hand didn't like talking while she ate and Reagan had learnt from her. The sound that could be heard was just the sound of chopsticks against the ceramic plates. Lavender ate as she served her three kids while Robert served her from time to time. The family of five was in sync and you couldn't even tell that they have been separated for a whole seven years. Mr Stone and Newton looked at their interaction and smiled secretly to themselves. Whitney looked at her mother serving her and felt emotional.
After being stuck in the traffic for a while, they arrived at Lavender's apartment.Ian and Whitney had already been sent home by the bodyguards so Robert had no reason of leaving. He was happy that his kids were very considerate of his feelings.The moment Lavender entered the house, she immediately went to wash up.Although she had done next to nothing at the press conference, she was mentally tired.All she needed now was a warm bath and a good sleep.Robert seated himself in the living room as he looked through his work emails. Today because of Lavender's press conference, he had not turned up at the company and left everything for the vice president to take care of it.Despite that, there were some things that he had to personally take care of that is why he had told Liam to bring him the important documents.After a while, Lavender called him up. She was done washing up and she was calling him to go and have a bath too.
Robert entered Lavender's study room to look at the documents that Liam had dropped off.After physically satisfying himself, his mind was more clear and even his work efficency improved.After signing a few documents, he remembered that he had not heard anything from the police station.Weren't they supposed to arrest the Smiths and that bastard doctor.He took out his phone and called Liam."What is going on with the Smith family and that stupid doctor?" Robert asked."The lady boss sent me a text and instructed me not to send the police. She said that she had her own plans." Liam said."Ooh…""Yeah. However, she didn't tell me what her plan was so I could only wait and see.""Okay. Be on the look out. Don't let anything happen." Robert ordered."Yes boss."After the phone call, Robert concentrated on his work again.He read the documents and signed his name, feeling happy everytime he
The following morning, Lavender was wakened by something heavy pressing down on her. What was that so heavy early in the morning? She opened her eyes only to find that Robert was already on top of her indulging himself so much that he did not even notice that she was awake. 'Is this man normal?' Lavender thought. She was still so tired from what they did last night but this man was still so full of energy? "Hey, are you done?" Lavender asked in a rapsy voice. She has just woken up and her voice was slightly hoarse. Her voice brought Robert back to his senses. He leaned over his head and started kissing her. Lavender tried resisting but it was to no avail. Robert was like an insatiable beast who hadn't seen meat for a thousand centuries. Lavender even started to feel sorry for her future life. If it will be like this every day, would she be able to go to work? By the time they finished, Lavender was
Lavender did not pay attention to the Smith family after they were arrested. She did not even appear in court during the trial.She spent most of her time bonding with her kids.It was on a weekend and seeing that the weather was good, Robert and Lavender decided to take their kids out for picnic.Whitney and Reagan were excited to go out. Although Ian was excited too, he did not overly show it on his face but his expression was delighted."Our son seems to be somehow special." Lavender said as she looked at her son not too far away."He matured earlier than kids had age. He always acts like a grumpy old man." Robert said."Hey, that is your son you are talking about. How could you say that he acts like a grumpy old man?" Lavender immediately asked. She was displeased at how Robert was regarding her son."Sorry my queen, it was my fault." Robert immediately apologized.But the light in his eyes clearly indicated that he d
