“Um, Sir!” Nancy comes to Oliver, trying to handle the situation. “Please, let me talk to him for a moment. I’ll come to you soon.”
“No, you don’t have to,” Laura interferes. “We know that man well. There’s no need to talk to him. Just kick him out of this place.”
“But…” Nancy looks so unsure with that idea.
“Believe me! He is not one of your customers,” Laura continues. “One look is enough to tell that he is just a cheap country bumpkin. We just kicked him out of our house yesterday. And I am sure he is just looking for a place to rest by coming here pretending to be a customer.”
Despite what Laura said, Nancy still approaches Thomas and treats him kindly.
“Excuse me, sir! Did you know this house belongs to Saunders Property Trust?” she asks.
“I know,” replies Thomas shortly.
“We are holding an open house for business purposes. Although the house is open to the public, we expect only those who have serious interest in buying this house,” Nancy explains.
Thomas glances back at Oliver, and also at Laura and her husband. As for Sylvia, the girl is still looking away.
Although Erica has previously said that her boss expected Thomas to stay there, Thomas still feels unsure about waiting for the arrival of the girl named Naomi.
He knows quite well the stature of the Gregory and Morris families. Of course he is not sure that the girl named Naomi would want to fight with them just to defend his position.
Besides, he is still not sure who the girl named Naomi that Erica mentioned exactly is. He then turns to Nancy and gives her a weak nod.
“Please tell the girl named Erica, thank you for the food!”
Thomas tries his best to get up from his seat. Right at that moment, Sylvia glances sharply at him, although she is still directing her face away. She observes intently how Thomas is struggling to use his weak legs.
Again she witnesses that Thomas can really use both of his legs, even better than when he left her house yesterday.
Truth to be told, she has feelings for Thomas after the incident at Boslow Hill. But lately, she was hesitant to accept him who seemed unable to walk.
But now, after she finds out that Thomas is actually able to stand on his two feet, no longer with the help of a stick, she is starting to feel a little regret in rejecting Thomas.
She glances at Oliver, and finds the guy looks a little unhappy with her. Oliver hides his displeasure and then shows an amused grinning at Thomas. Soon, he comes to Thomas by deliberately puts on an irritated face, and then grabs Thomas’ rag suit.
“You are taking too long, you stinky, weak puppy!” he grumbles.
“I don’t need your help,” Thomas pushes him away.
Thomas loses his balance after the push, and stumbles because of the momentum.
Oliver grabs him again, intending to force him to get up harshly. “Who said I was going to help you? I just want to kick you out of this house!”
Unbeknownst to Oliver, Thomas’ arms are not that weak to begin with. He also grabs Oliver by the collar, and pulls him down until their faces are so close to each other.
He grabs the man’s neck, and threatens him with a restrained hoarse voice. “You better not take me too lightly! Don’t think your rich father can protect you all the time!”
Oliver shoves Thomas’ hand and then chuckles. He looks so amused, taking Thomas’ warning as a silly joke.
“What are you going to do? You can’t even stand on your own two feet! Here, why don’t you let me help you to get up?”
He forces Thomas to stand on his two feet. But instead of trying to help, he deliberately shakes Thomas' body back and forth, without releasing his grip on Thomas' rag suit, toying Thomas like a helpless doll.
“Sir! Please! That’s enough!” Nancy tries to restrain Oliver.
Oliver ignores the girl, laughing with so much excitement. “I know you hate me for taking Sylvia away from you. After the sacrifices you made, you thought that you could win her heart and then marry her. But no, she chose me!”
He then pushes Thomas towards the dining table, making some of the chairs fall apart.
The commotion has attracted the attention of the people on the second floor. Erica is forced to leave her clients, rushing to check on the situation, until she sees Oliver toying with Thomas.
“Oh, no!” she mumbles in awry.
But then, as she is about to go down the stairs, she realizes the presence of her boss, Naomi Saunders, currently standing by herself near the front door.
Oddly enough, Naomi gives a gesture by bringing her index finger to her closed lips, as if telling Erica not to say or to do anything.
She then takes a seat in the family room, crossing her legs by putting her chin on her hand, following the drama in silence.
“Wake up, you country bumpkin!” Laura starts heating up the mood. “Do you think we are stupid, letting a country bumpkin like you seizing Donovan’s wealth by approaching his granddaughter?”
“It was Donovan who wanted to match me with Sylvia,” Thomas denies.
“Thomas! That’s enough!” Sylvia joins the argument. “I know you are upset because of…”
“You shut up!” Thomas denies her immediately. “You're just as bad as them. From the start, I had no feelings for you at all. It was only because you insisted on taking care of me that I decided to accept Donovan's request. You might be happy now to have this guy as your fiancé. But let’s see how he is going to protect you after this? Regarding the incident at Boslow Hill, who do you think they wanted to kill, and who sent those hitmen?”

As if no longer having the strength to stand on two feet, Naomi lifelessly kneels down with a pitiful pale face. Her eyes are watery, and her two hands with trembling fingers covering her mouth.As an educated person, she knows so well that it’s already too late to save her father’s life. Not even the best doctor in the world can save Adam Saunders’ life.On the other hand, Mr. Chicote can no longer argue the two doctors anymore. He looks so stupid, gulping with a pale face, realizing how fuck up he is at the moment.“Now you realize how stupid you have been in my eyes?” Alfred, who has just come out of the isolation room, states coldly to Mr. Chicote’s face. “I don't care whether ghosts exist or not. But I can say for sure that you are just a swindler, taking advantage of other people's suffering to extort their money.”“Nonsense!” Mr. Chicote refutes. “She was the one who asked for my help, and I do what I can do based on my knowledge.”“Based on your knowledge? So what about the gho

Alfred looks so mad, but his eyes are red and sparkling with tears due to anguish and despair. And Mr. Chicote, like he doesn’t give a damn what causes Alfred’s sorrow, suddenly slaps him in the face and yells back.“Just because you can’t see them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist! It’s like your brain, no matter how stupid you are, you still have a brain even though you can’t see it. It’s either you are ignorant, or you know it but deliberately let the devil use you to lead people astray!”Alfred is stunned, his face looks baffled. Not because the word has succeeded in providing enlightenment, but because of the old man’s audacity in slapping him in front of other people.He grabs the man’s black robe with just his left hand and then pushes him hard against the wall, making the glass wall shake with it.The nurse tries to stop the fight, but Alfred ignores her and brings his face closer to Mr. Chicote.“How dare you slap my face? Even my boss never did that to me!” He croaks, his voice

Carefully, she starts tidying the bedroom without disrupting the arrangement of those strange objects. Until a few moments later, she feels a strange breezy softly blowing her beautiful hair.It could just be the wind coming out from the bathroom with an unclosed window. But she thinks it is some kind of bad premonition.Feeling eerie, she immediately gets out of the room while taking her phone out to make a call.[Immanuel Chicote here!]“Mr. Chicote! It’s me, Naomi Saunders!”[My child! How is your father’s situation?”“Um, could you come here, please? I don’t feel quite right about the situation in this house.”[Sure! I’ll be right there!]Not daring to be alone on that second floor, she hurries down to the kitchen to see the maids.“Matilda! Could you make lemonade tea for me?” She politely asks before taking a seat.“We've used all the lemons yesterday?” Matilda deplores. “It's something that Anastasia Nixon didn't like, and that Mr. Chicote used as a talisman to keep her away fro

After listening to Matilda's explanation, Naomi slowly turns her face to the direction where her father went. She no longer sees the car, but her face is now painted with worry.In the past few days, her father has often behaved strangely, always filled with excessive fear, worried about people who might be after his life.Adam even said that he was visited by Anastasia Nixon and her Chihuahua, both in his dreams and when he was conscious.And Naomi, who does believe in superstition, has also called a psychic to cleanse her house of all forms of negative energy. But it seems that wasn't enough.“Alfred! We need to call Mr. Immanuel Chicote back to cleanse my house.”Alfred is grimacing as soon as he hears what Naomi has just said. And of course, Naomi understands very well what his reaction means.“I know this sounds stupid to you,” Naomi continues impatiently. “But we have no other choice. I know for sure that my father is not crazy. Of all the hallucinations he has, he sees the ghost

The situation at the Saunders Properties Trust office is being made busy by Alfred. It’s about Naomi, who left the office without anyone knowing where she went. It’s been more than three hours, and she hasn’t come back.“How come no one knows? What are you guys doing here anyway?” He grunts.“Welcoming guests with greetings and a smile,” replies the receptionist.“Monitoring the people in this lobby,” says one of the security officers.Alfred squints at that man. “And you didn’t see her leaving?”“I did! But it’s not my place to question her, or even prevent her from leaving the office. She is the boss,” the security officer argues.“Oh, God! Don’t you even realize her situation?” Alfred deplores.All those employees can only show their oblivions. Alfred rubs his head in frustration, before coming back to the receptionist.“Have you tried to call her?” he asks.“I have! But it’s out of reach,” replies the female receptionist.“Call it again!” Alfred exclaims as he walks away. “Keep try

Feeling insulted, Alfred vents his anger by throwing a punch. Thomas evades it simply by taking his head away, and again, he responds to it with another slap.This situation continues to repeat, with Alfred continually trying to hit Thomas but never succeeding and always getting slapped in return.“Come on! Is this all you got?” Thomas taunts.Five minutes have past, and that tough looking face is now swollen on the left side. With both knees and hands on the ground, Alfred looks down with a frustrated face.“Is it the gun that you really want, or humiliation?” Thomas provokes coldly.But Alfred doesn't even dare to look back at Thomas anymore. It is a fair fight, one on one, with Thomas not letting anyone interfere with their affair. Yet, he really can’t do anything.Even with the anger filling his heart, he is now realizing how far the gap between him and Thomas is. This is the first time someone has made him so helpless.
