Madison could not help but feel used. Her only reason for accepting Sebastian in her apartment was because he asked and since she had nothing against him, she accepted but now, she could not help but question if she did the right thing.“Why do I have a feeling that you came to enquire about Michelle?” She asked suspiciously, Sebastian did not deny it.He only took advantage of Lake and Ezrah not wanting to have him to gather more information about Michelle from Madison.The girl had been so secretive, not even mentioning ever being married before.“You have every right to feel that way but I just want to know what I’m up against. Look, I can pay for the information if that is what you want,” Sebastian concluded, Madison was upset. She raged,“You are such an asshole. Do I look to you like I need your money?”Sebastian felt guilty but which other way for him to ask when he didn’t know Madison well enough?He only heard Michelle telling her that they hadn’t had enough time, meaning the

Ezrah’s expression only softened when he gazed at his mother. “Let’s talk inside. Madison, you should be there too.”Mr. Henshaw did not like Madison’s presence at such an important meeting since she was difficult to bend.“Does your secretary have to be in this meeting?”Ezrah glared at him, as if he asked a nonsensical question and responded with a sarcasm-laced voice.“Is it not about the termination of our contract? Why should she not be there?”Whatever was discussed, Madison would be the one to make it official by putting it into writing. It would also be good that she received first-hand information since she knew about the details of the matter.As soon as everyone was seated in Ezrah’s luxury office, Louis said to him, “Son, why did you terminate our contract with the Henshaws without my knowing?”Ezrah was about to respond when Ethan interrupted rudely. “That is why you should have let us handle the company.”Though knowing that his brothers have always been like that, Ezrah

Rush wondered who it was, but upon hearing the name, he couldn't help but link it to Ezrah. It was too late to stop this meeting as a knock already sounded on the door, and Rush went to answer it. The middle-aged woman beamed at him, forcing him to smile back at her. Ezrah had both her mother and father’s features. Before the woman uttered a word, her gaze lingered admiringly around the office, and Michelle was already on her feet. “Mom,” Michelle broke into tears as she went to hug the middle-aged woman. Louisa equally had tears in her eyes. If she had not pestered her husband to give her Michelle’s location, she would not have believed that she was indeed alive. “Zora, do you know for how long I mourned for you?” Her teary voice blended with the salty liquid cascading down her cheeks, her eyes turned red. Michelle was guiltier, leading Louisa to a sofa and pouring a glass of water for her. “I’m so sorry, but I had to do it.” Louisa disagreed with her. “You should have told m

“I’m all ears,” Ezrah said from his side of the line, not believing how distant things were between them.How was he to bridge the gap now? Ezrah was lost for a moment as he heard Michelle’s stern warning.“You are not to have any relationship with the Henshaws and to never interfere in whatever I do with them.”The corner of Ezrah’s lips curled upwards. It seemed that Zora had not softened as he thought.“That is already done. Is there anything else?” Ezrah asked seriously, hatching his own plans against Piper.“No. That is it. Thank you.” Michelle ended the call instantly.Ezrah never found it hard to do anything other than to withdraw these charges. Then an idea popped into his mind and he called someone.“I’m going to send the picture and name of a woman to you. She would be released from the custody of the FBI, but I want you to set her up with a crime that would send her to life imprisonment.”There was a slight pause at the end of the line, and Ezrah thought the person had not

“What did you say?” Jack asked seriously, as if he were staring at a stranger. This woman he called his daughter seemed to be more and more odd to him as the years went by.Piper was nervous from the way her parents were staring at her. Both of them sat in the front but turned around to face her. Piper confessed everything without hiding anything.The certainty of not having her parents' support without confessing it caused her to let it all out.“You mean we have a grandchild?” Charity was very excited about the news, not caring so much about the things her daughter did. All she wanted was a chance to be united with her granddaughter. It was rather the opposite for Jack, who could not stop thinking about the consequences of everything going on.“You forgot to add that she was equally an irresponsible daughter. How could you leave a man in his comatose state? I think I need to have a DNA test carried out. You could not have been formed from my semen.”Charity was provoked by her husb
