152. Paris is astonished. Sometimes, people would offer her outrageous amounts of money to get a chance to evens speak to Lord Snow, but she has never met someone with the heart to not leave. The head of Lauren's security laughs dryly, "Let him. He thinks that he can stay here forever? We will stay here with him! I bet that he won't be able to stay here for more than a few hours," Franklin laughs as he crosses his legs, "What do my father likes to say? The more the merrier. At least you can keep me company," Lauren's eyes brows lifts. "Mister Sampson, you can't surely mean that, you know." "Well, I intend to. Let Miss Paris tell Lord Snow that I am here, whenever he is ready for me." Lauren shakes her head. She won't allow that to happen. "That's crazy!" Paris hiss. "To think that your family came here the other day to scare us, and now you are here causing a scene?" Before they can decide exactly what to do, the elevator door parts and Seven steps out with a pissed off look o

Emerald doesn't care at all, "Whatever, boy. I have things to do," she goes to her car and drives away. Lauren on the other hand has gone pale, like she has seen a ghost. "Did you hear that?" She whispers to Bob. "Oh, I did. Franklin Sampson, the brother of the man who paid people to come into the headquarters to attack you and Roman Snow," he snarls,his hand is already on the trigger of his gun. They are the closest people, so Franklin walks up to them, but Bob aims his gun at him. "Woah," Franklin throws his hands into the air and take a couple of steps back. "I don't mean any trouble. Just wanted to ask a few questions." "You said you are Franklin Sampson?" Lauren asks, unsureness layering her words. "Yes," he nods. "The same Franklin Sampson that is the President's brother?" "Well, yes. You know an awful lot about me, and I don't think that I know you." Lauren gets that a lot now, and honestly she is happy that less people can now recognize her on the street. Since Lo

"What?" "Yes, isn't that why he personally came to rescue you from that kidnapper?" "The kidnapper you encouraged to take me?" Lauren sharply fires back at her, and Emerald looks at the guards. She thought they would suddenly hit her for that. "Look, I made what I thought was a good choice. You for the rest of us. It would be senseless if we all had to die!" Lauren presses her hand against her forehead as she shuts her eyes. Everyday, her situation with her cousin gets even more and more complicated. Thankfully, the door opens and they immediately walk out of the building. They are a few steps in front of the security, so they can talk in private. "Look, I'm not going to fight with you over Lord Snow anymore. I guess you just feel jealous because you realize that Stanley is not particularly the catch!" She laughs. "Come on, Emerald, when are you going to stop talking nonsense about Stanley? He has never done anything to you!" Lauren warns her. "You don't know him all that wel

When Emerald gets to snow headquarters, she looks left to right, like she is being followed.Once she is sure that the coast is clear, she enters the building through the backdoor. The place is busy, so as far as she doesn't do anything to draw attention to herself, no one is going to notice her. She finally makes her way to Roman's office, but to her dismay, his desk is empty. What? She came in here for nothing? She looks at the documents in her hands and swallow a gulp. "Why are bad things happening to me today?" She notices two woman chatting happily as they walk past her. With quick thinking, she jumps into their way. "Hey, do you girls know where Roman Snow is?" The girls looks at each other, their brows crooked skeptically. It's not their fault, they are new hires and have no idea who Emerald is. "I don't know, sis, why don't you go find him yourself?!" One snorts, and the other laughs as they try to walk around her, but she slaps the file again one of them's chest. "

Meg's eyebrows crooks. "Are you trying to suggest that I give you the money from the sale of my shares?" "Well, isn't that how an investment works?" Fanny shrugs. "This is your chance to show me just how trustworthy you are." Fanny is not trying to hide her motive at all, she doesn't care if Meg is able to see through her bullshit or not. All she wants is for Meg to sell the shares, it will not be linked back to her, and that means that Lord Snow won't be able to seize it. Of course it wouldn't be too much of a life changing amount, but it's going to last her maybe a month or two. The good thing is that she would have gotten herself together enough to get rid of Lord Snow once and for all. Then a trillion dollars would be at her feet... Now, Meg is not a fool. She knows that Fanny wants the money for herself, and it's the only thing that her late father left her for, but Meg considers it to be a worthy sacrifice. If Fanny keeps her word and rewards Meg in Snow empire shares,

The next few days that Rosa spends in the house, she is banned from using a phone. Three servant girls have been tasked with following her around, to make sure that she obeys all her new 'mother's' rules. Fortunately for them, Rosa doesn't even leave her room. For three days straight, she remains in the room, and refuses to join Roman and Meg downstairs during meals. Like a real family. Meg is very vexed about this, but Roman begs her to leave the poor girl alone. She killed her mother, they need to cut her some slack. But the thing that breaks the camel back is that Rosa has been meaning to starve herself to death. Each plate of food brought to her room is left untouched, and the servants truly don't know what to do. On the fourth day, Meg storms into the room and slaps Rosa twice across the face. Rosa is so weak that she bursts into tears. "What do you think you are doing? Starving yourself when I am supposed to start to take you out to appearances?! Have you lost your damn
