"What just happened? I heard she physically confronted you," Philip inquired, escorting his mother back to her office. Frustration welled up within him as he pleaded, "Come on, Mom, speak up. I can't simply overlook this."Betty proposed, "Let's allow the situation to settle down. Pretend as if nothing occurred." However, Philip disagreed, unwilling to support that idea."Are you to blame, Mother? That would be the only reason you wouldn't want to pursue legal action against them. And besides..." Philip's words were interrupted by Betty."Legal action, huh?" Betty interrupted, raising a questioning eyebrow. "You want to take legal action against the same individuals who spared you after you nearly sabotaged their wedding? You want to confront the people who will soon hold authority over this company, with the ability to evict us?" She paused momentarily, walked over to the small refrigerator in her office, retrieved a bottle of water, and slowly drank it down.Philip struggled to find
Perry’s mind was thrown into chaos when she discovered the deceitful and infuriating trick that Betty had just played on her. She deeply regretted not visiting the day before to see her father’s body. Despite having a crucial meeting that she couldn’t afford to miss, she wished she had made the effort to come earlier, but now it was too late.After leaving the house and heading straight to the hospital, she received the distressing news. Driving to the office filled with anger, she couldn’t help but replay the conversation she had with the doctor in her mind. With each replay, her anger grew exponentially, and she felt an intense desire to strangle Betty the moment she laid eyes on her.*****“I checked with her to make sure you were informed about the cremation, and she confirmed it. That’s why I didn’t feel the need to call you before proceeding with the cremation.” The doctor’s words echoed in her mind as she drove***** And she vividly recalled the moment she erupted in anger,
"I warned you that your questionable behaviour would lead to trouble, didn't I? And now, here you are, hiding in my house like a frightened dog.""Listen, I don't plan on staying here for an extended period. I just need some time to clear the air, and then I'll remove myself from your life," Lyra calmly explained to her sister, who seemed to constantly criticize her every move.Lyra's life had been tumultuous ever since she was a child. She was constantly shuffled between different foster care homes, never finding stability or luck with the people she encountered. It wouldn't be fair to solely blame these individuals, as Lyra couldn't exactly be labelled as one of the well-behaved children, unlike her older sister, Aria.Lyra and her sister were taken into state custody after their mother's descent into drug addiction following their father's passing. The perilous environment created by their mother's drug use became a threat to their well-being, prompting a concerned neighbour to rep
Lyra had retreated into hiding ever since the unfortunate incident that occurred during the wedding ceremony. All efforts to locate her have proven fruitless, leaving everyone concerned for her well-being and hoping that she remains safe and in good health wherever she may be.The sudden disappearance weighed heavily on Alonso, as he harbored genuine concern for Lyra's welfare. He yearned for reassurance, longing to know that she was doing well in her chosen refuge. Although he hoped for her safety, he longed to see her so that he can question her and know the reason why she had lied to him and why she also didn't go through with what she had planned with James and Philip.While James and Philip still felt the lingering impact of the distressing event, their individual circumstances were distinctly challenging. Philip not only suffered the loss of his reputation and any opportunity to assume control of the company, which had slipped from his grasp and into Alonso's hands, but James a
Philip seethed with anger and resentment as he received the news about Alonso's meeting with the Chairman of Homos group. It was a blow to his already bruised ego, and the fire of hatred within him grew even stronger. The thought of Alonso forging a partnership with such a prestigious organization, a partnership that Philip had desperately sought but failed to secure, fueled his determination to eliminate Alonso from his path once and for all.In his seething rage, Philip began to concoct a plan to bring about Alonso's downfall. He knew that a direct confrontation or act of violence would only land him in legal trouble, so he had to devise a more cunning and covert strategy.Philip's mind raced with ideas as he considered the various ways he could sabotage Alonso's reputation and success. He delved into his network of connections, seeking out individuals who shared his disdain for Alonso and would be willing to aid him in his mission. It didn't take long for him to find a group of lik

The previous chairman had announced his retirement, leaving a void that Alonso was well-prepared to fill. The time had come for him to step up and take on the responsibilities that came with leading the company.Alonso had been with the company for many years, working his way up through the ranks with dedication and determination.

The arena fell into stunned silence. Philip and James, once confident and composed, stood frozen in their tracks. Their plan had backfired spectacularly, and they were left exposed in front of everyone they had sought to deceive and also on the live broadcast. Philip's voice rose above the silence, laced with anger and disbelief. "Lyra, what are you saying? You can't seriously be doing this." Lyra stood her ground, her eyes locked with Philip's. "I have no reason to lie, Philip. I won't be a pawn in your game any longer." James, his face contorted with rage, stepped forward. "You ungrateful woman! We gave you everything! How dare you turn against us?" Lyra's voice quivered, but she refused to waver. "You didn't give me anything. You manipulated and controlled me. But not anymore." Alonso, his voice filled with a mix of sadness and hope, spoke up. "Lyra, is this true? Did they really do this?" Lyra turned to Alonso, her eyes glistening with tears. "I'm so sorry, Alonso. I let them
