Gerald had gotten tired of hearing Otis yell like that and decided to do something, and just as he had agreed, Richard had too.

“Enough, Otis!” Gerald snapped, stepping in front of him. “You’ve crossed the line.”

“You don’t speak to your aunt like that,” Richard added firmly. “Are you mad? That’s your father’s sister. Show some respect!”

“Exactly,” Evelyn said, rising from her seat. “You talk about legacy and honor, but you cannot even control your mouth in front of elders? If anyone’s disgracing this family, it’s you.”

All the family members were visibly annoyed that Otis had dared to speak to Tina like they were age mates just because his assets had been stolen. Seeing the others speak about it prompted them to voice their opinions.

Lisa folded her arms and shook her head. “You want everyone to hunt Tedmond down, yet you insult the very people trying to help. No wonder everything is falling apart.”

Maxine stood next, her voice icy. “We are all frustrated, but don’t you dare think th

    Outside the Griffin mansion, just three blocks away, Lisa held onto the seal, glancing back and forth as she ran. Her phone was in her other hand as she constantly checked to see if her ride was close.Since the Griffin family had listened to the audio, she was sure they wouldn’t let her off, and she would have been hit again, just like Otis had tried to do previously.And this time, she was sure Max wouldn’t help her either. He would just make sure she was beaten in a way that wouldn’t affect the baby.Now, she was certain the only thing keeping her alive was the baby, and she was kind of glad she hadn’t killed it yet.If I had killed it, I would have been dead, she thought.At that moment, she glanced back at her phone to see that the cab was close. Finally, she stopped running and stood, waiting for the ride to arrive.Soon, a black cab pulled up in front of her, and she immediately slid into the back seat, the door shutting with a solid click.She held the Griffin Corporation seal

    “Did she just say she’s getting the divorce papers ready?” Evelyn asked, her brows furrowing in confusion. “This doesn’t sound like a trick anymore, it sounds real.”Even Maxine nodded in agreement with her mother’s statement. She was certain Lisa wasn’t lying or trying to use Tedmond this time; she was serious. Lisa had been looking for a way to leave the family but hadn’t found one, and now she wanted to use Tedmond as her escape.Maxine wasn’t going to let that happen.“You heard right,” Tina replied. “She did mention divorce papers.”“Does that mean she was serious about divorcing Max and leaving with Tedmond without giving Otis his assets back?” Gerald asked, wanting to be sure he’d heard correctly.“Yes,” Frank responded with a nod. “She only brought that up because Tedmond has Otis’s assets.”Otis slammed his hand on the desk, the sharp sound cutting through the chatter.“That’s enough,” he said, his brows twitching with anger. “We still have a lot to listen to, and I’m not goi

    At the Griffin mansion,The men had finally managed to pull Max and Otis apart. Now, both sat again, breathing heavily, their faces bruised and swollen.The tension in the room hadn’t eased; in fact, it had only thickened.Otis sat rigid, a dark bruise forming along his cheekbone, his jaw clenched so tightly a muscle twitched at the side. His eyes stayed locked on Max, burning with unfiltered rage. He didn’t speak, but his glare said it all. He wasn’t done. Not even close.Max, unfazed, kept rubbing Lisa’s trembling back. She sat beside him, hands tightly clasped in her lap, legs crossed and stiff, like she was ready to bolt the moment anyone looked away.“I want to leave,” Lisa whispered again, tugging lightly at Max’s sleeve. “Let’s go. Please.”Max didn’t move. His arm remained around her shoulders.Lisa’s heart pounded. Her thoughts were scattered. Her throat was dry, palms damp. She hadn’t been this scared in a long time, not since she first got involved in this mess.It wasn’t j

    Lisa immediately froze as Otis grabbed her. She knew he would be mad when he found out, but she had no idea he would be this furious. Furious enough to hit her.Sure, she had seen him beat others before, so it shouldn’t have surprised her. But now she was part of the family. He shouldn’t be doing this to her.His grip on her hair tightened, and Lisa sobbed, grabbing at his wrist, trying to ease the pain. But he didn’t let go.“You think I wouldn’t find out? You think I’m stupid?” he bellowed. His face was red, veins bulging, fury pouring out of him like a volcano that had waited too long to erupt. “All this while you’ve been sitting there, pretending to be loyal, pretending to love Max, meanwhile you were plotting with the very bastard who stole from me?”“Otis, please!”“No. Don’t you dare!” His face twisted with rage. “You helped that bastard take everything from me, and now you want to play innocent?”He looked around, his eyes landing on Max.“And you,” he spat. “You knew and stil

    Wearing a large frown on his face, Otis glared at Max and Lisa.They were no longer questioning the workers in the house, and all of them had returned to doing their jobs. The rest of the family members were sitting around the table on the couch, each wearing the same look on their faces.And since they had let the servants go and Alicia had left, they could now have their meeting in peace.Although the place was calm, Otis was seething.Just then, a guard arrived, his face calm. Hearing the footsteps approach, Otis lifted his head.“Did you find a way for the file to be recovered?” he asked sharply, eyes narrowing.The guard shook his head. “No, sir. It couldn’t be recovered. Not from any of the systems. It’s gone. The hackers said they had done all they could, and it can’t be recovered.”Hearing that, Max was relieved. He had feared the footage might be recoverable and that he wouldn’t be able to shield Lisa from Otis’s wrath. That was why he had contacted the hacker in advance and

    Tedmond thought about it for a while. Hino’s suggestion wasn’t bad at all. It sounded like something that would piss Max off enough to stop protecting Lisa.From what Neil said, Max had only gone there to check if Lisa was the one who released him, but ended up deleting the footage without even confirming it.If he saw the message now, he would believe it was Lisa who let him out. That alone was going to be useful.Once they started suspecting Lisa, they’d stop looking for who really did it. And the faster they believed she was behind it, the quicker they’d come after him.That was enough time—for now.“I’ll add it,” Tedmond said. “Great suggestion, Hino.”Neil’s face twisted into a frown. He didn’t like that Hino had come up with something useful before he did. Still, he was glad the idea was helpful.“Thanks, young master,” Hino said with a smile.Tedmond gave a small nod and turned back to the laptop in front of him. The moment Neil saw that, he quickly moved behind him to see what
