“He is quite bold,” Natasha admitted as she watched the meeting on television.She'd hoped to see Max get destabilized by the questions but he managed to handle everything properly.As it was, those who were screaming for Max's death were now slowly starting to wonder if he was as bad as they were making him out to be.“You were right, Mirabel. Max won't be someone to go down easily.” “Do we proceed with my plan then?”Natasha shook his head. “Not yet, it's too risky to do it while attention is on us. We'll do as he wants for now and play his game, while trying to regain the upper hand.”“Does that mean we are going to accept his challenge?”“Of course, we don't have a choice. However, as I said, we'll also try to gain the upper hand. He had given us a chance to set things straight by allowing us to pick the hospital to run the tests.”“Then let's pick Red Angel, I remember that he owes you a favor, right?”“He does.” Natasha intoned with a devious smile. “Come on, we are going to sp

Max's plan was simple.The enemy of my enemy is a friend, for a time at least. Since the Dawsons wished to teach the Cavendish family a lesson, all he had to do was extend an olive branch in the form of a promised investment in their company should they help him out, and foolish as they were, they accepted.Now, all that was needed was to bring out his well-prepared ammunition, which left Natasha lost for words. Bernard walked out, clearly infuriated as he glared at Natasha. “Is it true?”“What are you doing here?” Natasha questioned.“Is it true that Mirabel is pregnant with my child?” Bernard repeated, this time a bit more harshly. “How dare you try to use my child as a pawn in your twisted game?”“Security, get this madman out of here at once!” Natasha had begun to panic at this point.Several spectators took out their phones and began to record, realizing the drama that was about to unfold.None of them were supporting Natasha again and were just waiting to see how the situation

The court was filled with bigwigs from society due to the high-level nature of the case.It was Natasha Cavendish against Max Augustus, with the former accusing the latter of so many crimes that painted the Augustus family in a terrible light.Those in support of Natasha were gathered outside the court, chanting derogatory slogans aimed at Max and Rosario while praising Natasha and Mirabel.Soon enough, the Cavendishs, along with their lawyers, arrived with journalists rushing over to interview them.“Miss Cavendish, how do you feel about the trial today?”“I don't know how to feel,” Natasha replied, feigning a somber demeanor. “We are here today to reveal the true mask of Max Augustus. He ruined my family, and now he hopes to go scot free, but I won't allow that, not while my daughter suffers due to what he put her through.”“Everyone out here is here because of you. Do you think that helps to lighten your mood even a little bit?”“It does,” Natasha remarked, inwardly grinning becaus

The trial that was expected to last for hours ended up lasting for a meager thirty minutes, and this was because Max, after winning his case, ended up counter-suing Natasha for defamation of character.Naturally, Natasha lost before the trial could even go far, resulting in a sentence against her.Two years' imprisonment with the option of financially compensating Max.Everyone expected Natasha to be the winning party but it turned out that Natasha was just a terrible liar.Max emerged from the court with his head held high along with Tara and her group of lawyers.“You did well.” Max praised with Tara flashing a smile in response.“It was quite easy to be honest. Mister Cavendish didn't have a case in the first place.” “Regardless, you did well and I appreciate that. Thank you.” Max remarked, causing Tara and her co-workers to feel pretty good about themselves.They had managed to not only soundly beat Natasha, but also helped to clear the name of a good man.It was quite refreshing

“As you all know, Westbrook and the bordering city, Eastbrook, are looking to establish relations with one another. Our leaders have sat down to talk and have decided on a joint project to prove their sincerity in working together towards a symbiotic economy, especially during this period where our country is experiencing recession in the economy.” Samuel began with those in attendance listening with rapt attention.Taking a moment to catch his breath, Samuel continued. “For that reason, they have decided on the Conjoined Project. This project involves building a high suspension bridge between the two cities, over the Lake Rhodes that separates us. As we all know, so far, the only way to navigate between the two cities has been by sea, which has made it difficult to trade. With this bridge, we hope to change that narrative.”“Will the bridge be installed with toll gates?” One of those in attendance inquired with Samuel nodding in agreement.“Indeed. Also, the project is a joint work a
