52. Lauren looks at the shimmering dress in her hands. When one of the servants brought it in and said that Stanley asked to give it to her, she didn't believe it at all! Stanley tries his honest best for her, and she doesn't have much expectations, because he is just working for Lord Snow now, but a gift out of the blue? She kicked her feet with excitement and went to open the bag. Behold a handwritten card;"My dear wife, you have been working very hard this week. Why don't you come on a date with me tonight? How does the Blue waterside restaurant sound?" She gasp and reach for her phone, surely he is mistaken. Isn't that the restaurant that is all over the news? The restaurant where Lord Snow is going to have dinner with Mrs Meg and Emerald? She concludes that it must be a mistake. The price tag of that restaurant has been flying around, and she knows that they can't afford it. Maybe it's a much cheaper place close by. Either way, she is very happy to go out with her husband

54. Inside the car, Emerald feels the tears swelling in her eyes. She sniffles and looks out of the window, so that Roman and Meg can't see that she is crying. Meg and Roman are too occupied with their own fight to pay any attention to her. "You are a stupid bitch, Roman!!" Meg roars. "You allowed that little boy to embarrass me like I am no one!" "Why were you so rude to him?" He yells right back at her. "Why do you never listen to me?" "Your nephew never showed up! Both of you lied to me, and I am going to make sure that it never happens again. I will make sure you both pay for this!"She turns away from her husband with a sulking face. Roman adjusts the mirror as he drives away. Thank God that their windows are tinted, so that the paparazzi can't see how miserable they are inside. "Miss Hudson, are you okay?" Roman asks her. She shakes her head negatively, but she doesn't add any information. She used to have a lot of faith in Meg Snow, but now it looks like the woman is

56. Lauren did not tell her husband about the odd call she got from her cousin at the very early hours of the morning. To her, this is something that she can handle by herself. She doesn't want to give the dress to Emerald, because it's too expensive, and Tiffany Shade confirmed that it's one of a kind. What if Stanley ever asks for it and she can't provide it? Her driver takes her to Snow headquarters, and to her utmost surprise, Paris, Lord Snow's assistant, is standing by the door. "Mrs Adkins!" Paris waves at her with so much happiness. She bows slightly before they hug and then she reliefs her of her bag. "Oh, Paris, I have told you countless times that you don't have to stand by the door to wait for me!" Paris just laughs, but she doesn't tell her that she is doing this because she doesn't want anyone to disrespect Lord Snow's wife on her watch. She will just pretend that she likes to help Lauren with her bag. "Mrs Adkins, I think it's high time you finally accept an o

58. Emerald's chest tightens with fear. The papers needs to get signed before 12, or they will have to apply for the gig again. Now dare Lauren try to defy her at such a time. "Lauren, you silly girl, do you have a death wish?!" She snaps at her. "Do you?" Lauren snaps right back. "Because we both know that the collaboration between the Hudson and the Snow family is what's making the Hudson family to prosper so much and move up the elite families ranking!" "What? You think this is your doing?!" Emerald cant help but laugh. "You are just a tiny ant without any relevance. We know I'm the reason why the Hudson family is going up the rank! Because of my relationship with Lord Snow!" Lauren huffs at the other end. "Then lets put it to the test, shall we? I won't approve the budget, and let's see how Lord Snow is going to react to that." Emerald's lips twists as veins pops on her neck. "Are you threatening me, Lauren?" She is wondering what gave her cousin so much bravery to speak to

Everyone, except Mister Gibney bursts into laughter. Who is this unknown man that has walked into this place and is demanding so much respect from Mister Gibney?!"Mister man, have you lost your damn mind?" "Who is your mother that Gibney should suffer some punishment because he insulted her?" But Stanley is calm. He has come for a missing person, and he is going to make sure that he gets it right. Before everyone could even blink twice, Mister Gibney has already knelt down to be punished. "Okay, sir, I accept my punishment, but don't hurt me too much, I am old enough to be your father!" The entire room goes quiet, because they realize that this must be a nice ordinary man. What kind of power does he have over Mister Gibney to make him comply? Stanley just smirks without a care, and then he lifts his walking stick to strike the old man, who is already shaking like a jellyfish. Halfway through, he stops and looks around the room, he is looking at the faces of the servants. "Y
