Elena walked quickly from her room back to the living room, looking confused and tired. She was worried and didn't know where to go. She pulled out her phone and dialed Karvel's number again, but it was still switched off.Just then, the door opened forcefully, and Elena was surprised to see Liza standing in her house. "Oh, wow, look at the devil," Liza said with anger. "Where do you think you're going?"Elena acted like she didn't understand what Liza was up to and wanted to go out, which was impossible at that moment. "Please can you come back next time?" Elena said. "I'm too busy for your attitude."Liza's face twisted with anger. "You should be, after all the trouble you've caused," she said. "No peace for a wicked soul. If you know what's good for you, you'll go down and start begging for mercy."Elena laughed, her eyes flashing with anger. "Did you just say beg?" she repeated. "I'd rather die than beg. You all got what you deserved because of your greed. Face it alone."Liza's a

Robert stood frozen, his chest heaving with anger. At first, he said nothing, but his clenched fists and reddened face spoke for him. Finally, he snapped.“Do whatever you think is best for your foolish self,” he spat, his voice trembling with rage. He stepped closer to Patricia, his eyes blazing. “But don’t forget—Mother makes the decisions, and the whole family follows.”His tone carried both authority and a trace of fear. Patricia met his glare with calm defiance. For the first time in years, she was ready to stand up for her daughter against Robert’s mother.“If this is how you defend your mother, then it’s nothing but blind loyalty,” Patricia said firmly. “Everyone would finally have peace if you stopped acting like her obedient dog.” Her words were sharp, but she didn’t care—her daughter came first.Robert’s fury boiled over. “Do you even realize you’re talking about my mother?” he roared. “Or have you lost your mind?” He lunged closer, his anger ready to explode.Patricia laugh

Patricia’s hands clenched at her sides as she turned to face him fully, her eyes glistening with restrained tears.“You talk about consequences,” she said quietly, her voice trembling with both anger and pain. “But have you thought about the weight she carries? Every day she’s mocked, belittled, judged for every choice she makes. And instead of protecting her, we let them tear her apart.”Her husband’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t look away. “Patricia… shielding her every time will not make her stronger. You’re a mother, I understand that. But life will not always give her comfort. Sooner or later, she must learn to stand alone.”Patricia shook her head, her voice breaking. “She doesn’t need to stand alone she needs someone to stand with her. And if no one else will, then I will. Even if it means going against all of you.”The two stood in silence, the sounds of laughter and music spilling faintly from the hall behind them. The contrast was sharp inside, a party trying to pretend all

“You all came tonight to witness the young master, didn’t you? To see the great man Margaret promised would grace us with his presence. But he’s not here. And yet, look at how much noise they make about my husband. Strange, isn’t it? That the man they call useless still threatens them more than the one who never even showed up.”The guests exchanged looks, some nodding slightly, others whispering behind their hands. Elena’s confidence shifted the balance of the room suddenly, it wasn’t her standing in shame, but Margaret, Liza, and Sarah, their faces stiff with humiliation.Elena folded her arms, her smile calm and victorious. “So go on, Grandmother. Go on, Liza. Keep talking about my husband if it helps you sleep at night. But remember this every word you speak only proves how much space he takes in your minds. And trust me… he doesn’t even think about you.”The hall erupted into hushed gasps and murmurs, the weight of Elena’s words settling heavily on the air. For once, she had turn

Margaret was about to reply to Elena when someone suddenly stepped closer to her, leaning down to whisper something.“Madam… the young master and Mr. Morrison will not be able to attend the birthday party,” her assistant said carefully, his voice low as if afraid of the reaction it might spark.For a moment, Margaret stood frozen, unable to process what she had just heard. The words echoed in her ears, stripping her of the perfect composure she had maintained all evening. Her lips parted, but no sound came out. Finally, when she managed to steady herself, her voice broke in disbelief.“Why?” It was all she could manage, a single word drenched in confusion and suppressed fear.The assistant shifted uncomfortably under her piercing gaze. “I… I don’t know, Madam. That was the exact message Mr. Morrison asked me to deliver. Nothing more.”The hall grew tense. Guests who had been eagerly waiting for the grand entrance of the so-called young master began whispering among themselves, curiosi

“Mother, what the hell are you talking about? Which place?” Elena’s voice trembled with frustration, her patience thinning. “I told you all to stop talking about this. I don’t want to hear it again especially not today.”Patricia raised her hands as though in surrender, her expression calm but her words deliberate. “I am sorry, Elena. I only mean you shouldn’t ruin your birthday party over him. Tonight is about you. Forget about him for now. He will be fine. Go and greet the important guests, they’ve come here for you, not him.”Elena shook her head, a bitter laugh escaping her lips. Forget him? How could she forget the one man who mattered most, the one who had promised to stand beside her tonight? The thought twisted painfully in her chest.Just then, the sound of heels clicking against the marble floor drew her attention. Sarah and Liza, both elegantly dressed but with smugness written across their faces, walked over. Their smiles didn’t carry warmth—they carried venom.“This party
