Stanley makes a decision to cut all his hair because of one reason. His mother loved him with very short hair. He used to hate it, he used to cry and beg his father to save him from his mother and her buzzing clippers, but Stanford Snow would chuckle and watch by the door. "That's what a proper gentleman looks like, my boy," she would pull his cheek. "You are the heir of the Snow empire, Stanley. You have to look proper all the time." So, he is attending a very huge dinner party today, and he has decided to shave his head for it. Seven is waiting outside, but his cigarette slips from his lips when he sees how different Stanley looks. "Geez, could have fooled me there for a second," Seven chuckles. "Do you think that your wife would mind?" Stanley laughs. "Lauren is helping me run part of the Snow empire, I'm sure she wouldn't pay too much attention to something as small as this." Both of them are attending this party, and in a small car that won't attract a lot of attention.

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

Lauren drags a sharp sigh, feeling her blood boil in her veins.Emerald doesn't see her angry face, instead, she makes herself even more busy with the marketing experts, who she seems to be getting along with so well. Lauren turns around to leave, but Emerald grabs her hand and pulls her to the side. "Where the hell do you think you are going?!" "Home. Seems like I'm not needed here, and you want to make me your slave," Lauren folds her hands. "Why don't I leave, while you continue to laugh and talk with your new friends?" Emerald chuckles shortly and puts her hand on Lauren's shoulder. "You think this is what it's about? I'm trying to make you my slave? You are not even happy that I didn't bring up the outrageous thing that Stanley did?" Lauren's face is immediately drained of colour. The one person she doesn't want to offend is Lord Snow. He has a lot of trust in Stanley, and she doesn't want that to be ruined for them. "What did Stanley do?" Lauren's lips quiver as she hold

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

55Lauren has stepped out onto the balcony to pick up her cousin's call. Stanley is asleep on the bed already, at least that's what she thinks, and she thought that her cousin is calling her for an emergency. How's she supposed to know that the emergency is her cousin demanding the most trendy dress of the week? "What?" She screws her face. "Didn't you swear years ago that I was a pig and that you would never wear anything that has touched my body?" Emerald scoffs at the other end of the phone. "This doesn't count, okay? It's not like the dress is actually yours." "It's mine! My husband bought it for me!" Lauren defends herself. "No, he didn't, Stanley is a common pauper, how can he afford such a thing?! He obviously raided Lord Snow's closet and got that dress for you!" Emerald says. "Can't you see that I'm doing you a favor? Everyone thinks Lord Snow's fiancee wore it, and we know that it's clearly not you." Lauren shuts her eyes and shakes her head. "Lauren, how sure are y

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
