"Partner in crime?" Hobbes looked at Bryan curiously wanting to see the other person.Bryan stood in the middle of the living room, with a cold gaze, as he stared at the maids glancing at him with heads down and shivering in their bodies.The room filled with extreme tension, as the air thickened with anticipation. Jake stood on the other side, fidgeting nervously, convinced that his Bryan was going to use this opportunity to get rid of him for sure, as Jake brought nothing but troubles to Bryan, even Josephine isn't in a condition to help him out, so Jake understood that he is the target of Bryan.He could feel the sweat dripping from his forehead out of fear."Brother you can't speak out of grudges against me, mom will not let it slide if you were to blame me," Jake stammered and still tried to threaten Bryan using Josephine hoping he would give up, but Bryan silenced him with a sharp glare."Don't you know how to shut your mouth properly? I'm not talking about you, so stand aside b
"Grandma, it's not what you're thinking," Bryan tried to speak but immediately stopped by Alicia, "I didn't allow you to speak Bryan, because I knew that I won't be getting any truth from you, so stay out of this." Nancy pulled Bryan back asking him to be silent, "grandma is angry, better stay calm if not you'll be locked in cold storage since that guy is already locked in the storeroom." "The storeroom is far better than cold storage," Bryan commented with a frown, "what if I froze out of coldness?" Mia looked at them, "froze? Are you feeling cold? Should I bring a blanket?" Bryan wants to facepalm himself, "why don't you bring a hot pan instead?" "Ahhh, I'll get it from the kitchen right now," she truly is on her way to the kitchen, Bryan pulled her back, "are you crazy? Can't you understand the difference between a joke and the truth?" She shook her head, Bryan sighed, "leave it, just leave it, if I keep on handling you three, I must be sitting in the microwave." "Will you fit
"Promise?" Bryan asked her in a surprised tone, Alicia nodded with a gentle tone, "promise me that no matter what happens, four of you must be together, you should never break this bond of yours, can you do it?" Four of them nodded their heads and said, "we promise, we will never let go of this bond of ours, we will respect and cherish our bond, we will always be together." Alicia smiled happily hearing to their promise, "that's good, go back to your rooms for now." Four of them went back to their rooms, and got themselves busy with their work.The next morning, Bryan went to the police control room to meet Hobbes, the weight of his next move is still hard on his shoulders, but he is supposed to do it.Hobbes sat behind a desk in his cabin, and he lifted his head as Bryan came to him, the two exchanged a small smile as their eyes met, and without wasting any time, Bryan got straight to the point that brought him to Hobbes."Yesterday I wasn't able to speak to you comfortably becaus
"Did they say anything?" Hobbes asked Bryan who stepped out of the room, Bryan shook his head with disappointment, "I knew they wouldn't say anything but still it's disappointing." Hobbes smiled at Bryan, "don't worry, sooner or later, you'll find out everything," Bryan hummed, "thanks for your help, I'll take my leave now." "Well Josephine Winterwood, your mother, do you know she isn't originally the real daughter of her family?" Hobbes asked, to which Bryan looked confused, "huh?" Hobbes came to Bryan and whispered in his ear, "she was originally an adopted daughter, after she got pregnant with your sister Nancy, she became wife of your father, that's how she became important to the family once she belonged to, but back then there are rumors everywhere, she was mistreated in her family." "All these," before Bryan could speak about it, Hobbes said avoiding the topic, "let's meet later, you must be going to home right, say to your father that I asked about his health, inform him,
"Shut up! You bastard, my precious Jake is suffering only because of you, it's you who holds grudges against him, it's you who hurt that innocent boy," Josephine accused Bryan for everything, but Bryan just smiled in return, "I did everything? Since you're unconscious you're not aware of the truth maybe, it's your precious maids who attempted to poison you, thankfully my sisters brought the truth in time and those maids were struck in the prison, officer Hobbes is especially looking into this issue." "Hobbes?" Josephine stammered, the fear in her eyes is quite evident, Bryan understood there's something in between Hobbes and Josephine, last time when he came to the party, Josephine tried her best to avoid him, even now she is scared, moreover he knew the past of her which most aren't aware of it, he felt there's more to know in this matter.However Bryan said, "your precious Jake, rather than being our side took the side of those both maids Margot and Clara, even insulted sister Mia,
"What happened?" Stacy was waiting right outside the room of Josephine, as soon as Bryan stepped out of the room, she questioned him, "why is she shouting?" Just then they heard vases and glasses are falling on the floor furiously making both of them understand Josephine isn't in her senses at this moment because of extreme anger.Bryan, placing a hand on her back, gently guided her to their room, as that place is full of disturbances, not suitable for having a conversation, "Nothing much, she’s just throwing a tantrum after knowing she can't just as she wishes."Stacy couldn't help but to sigh while rubbing her temples in frustration with the explanation given by her brother, "Bryan, if my suspicions are true, it must be you who made her more angrier, right?" Bryan shook his head with a lie trying to escape from his sister's wrath, "No... no, you mistaken me I didn’t do anything, I just had a conversation friendly, that's it, I'm so innocent." Stacy twisted Bryan's ear playfully kn
"Am I crazy or what to do that?" Bryan sighed at his sister's question, scratching her head, Stacy said, "I know you're not crazy but the thing is I want to know why you're talking about our house getting into sale." Bryan calmly explained his plan to her, "see, the one who gives her money to mortgage is me only, and I'll make her sign the contract, at the sametime I'll make sure that she can't pay the amount, then I'll bring up the house for sale, which brings her true intentions out infront of everyone." "Then, you'll show the documents and harddisks we stole from her room to evryone, right?" Stacy questioned, Bryan nodded with a sigh of relief, "thank God, you finally understood the plan, now let me give you the list of the names in which she has to invest." Stacy hummed calmly, Bryan took pen and paper, he wrote few names, and the amount that to be invested and gave it to Stacy, "make sure that she invests in these." "Leave it to me," Stacy confidentally said, Bryan gently car
"You have no idea," she said with a pout, "I almost thought of going to your house for you, that much I missed you," Bryan chuckled while caressing her hair, "you should've done that, because there's a whole movie going on in my house, you might've enjoyed it too.""Movie?" Mirabel gave an innocent look, "did you give your house for shooting location?" Bryan burst into laughter because of her innocence, "my dear Mira, it's not what you're thinking." Ronald noticed everyone glancing at them, so he cleared his throat, "how about we go somewhere to speak?" Bryan and Mirabel moved away from each other, Laurel nudged Ronald with a frown, "are you crazy for real?" "What did I do?" Ronald was confused at Laurel's anger, with a sigh Laurel gritted her teeth, "they missed each other, and met after so many days, can't you let them have some moments like this?" Ronald opened his mouth in wide, as he couldn't understand what's happening here, because it's not entirely him who is thinking like
