Charles came to the Duke family's main mansion in Washington. Many things confused him, especially some of the events that happened to him a few days ago.

"Why did you come without telling Grandpa first, Charl?" Michael greeted his grandson's presence with a question.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I came here to ask you a question."

Michael allowed his grandson to say the question.

"I'm confused, Grandpa. There are many strange events happening. Apart from the kidnapping that happened to me yesterday, there is another, more shocking event happening."

"What was it?" asked Michael curiously.

"Deon... Deon was found dead, Grandpa. His body was very gruesome, it looks like he was tortured before he was killed."

Michael gasped in shock. "Really?"

Charles nodded. "Yes, Grandpa. Is that incident related to the kidnapping I experienced yesterday?"

"Is that why you came here?"

He was concerned about Charles' condition and the man's company, which needed a successor."It's all because of that damn woman. If only Elizabeth-""There's no need to regret what happened," Will said quickly. He stares at the headstones of Michael and his parents without blinking.Charles let out a long, hard breath."I even made things easier," Charles said.It was Will's turn to exhale.

Charles immediately ran to his grandfather's room followed by everyone who was gathered earlier. Charles headed for his grandfather's room after hearing a loud noise. This was followed by Isabella. When he opened the door, Charles was very surprised to see Elizabeth in his grandfather's room which was already unlocked. "Elizabeth, what are you doing here?" Charles was really surprised when he saw the scene that was presented in front of his eyes.

However, the plan that had been drawn up could not run smoothly because now Charles lived in the Duke's family mansion. Isabella tried to be careful when approaching Michael. "Grandpa, would you like me to make you a drink?" "Yes. Would you mind making a drink for me? You can just tell the servant to make it for you." "That's fine. I don't have anything to do anyway. I just want to make you happy."Michael, who felt that Isabella was very attentive, did not have the slightest suspicion. He thought that Isabella was craving for affection because she had no one but him. "Yes. Make me some orange juice. It seems that drinking fresh juice like that, can make my day more colorful." "Okay Grandpa, I'll make it first." Isabella with her sweet smile made Orange juice for her grandfather. Arriving in the kitchen Isabella took the ingredien

    "Nooo!"Michael exclaimed and instantly opened his eyes.It was the same dream all over again. Michael sat up with a sweaty forehead. His eyes were glued to his blanket-covered feet. The dream seemed real, as he was on the edge of a cliff and someone was pushing him from behind."What a horrible dream," Michael whispered to himself.He vividly remembered how his body turned as he plunged and he saw the grin on the face of the person who pushed him.
