Her scream was a signal for majority of the guests to run out of the hall. Sir Ramela was eager to go check it out too but age has something on him.

The guests have suddenly said goodbyes to their fears, not caring that the mysterious young man was still standing under the spotlight.

"What is the matter?" The Eldest son of the patriarch asked, racing the rest of the people to meet the girl.

"What suddenly made you scream like---" The son choked on the words at an instant. He couldn't believe the sight in front of him.

The young girl was on the floor and he knew as an adult, he ought to help her to her feet. But he just couldn't find the motivation to pull that through. He was bedazzled by the sight in front of him.

If he wasn't in his right senses, he would have argued that an army of locusts has infested the entire garden and premises of the mansion. But he knew too well. He was in his right senses!

This clearly wasn't an army of locusts! It was a bed of corpses. Several bodies

    At first, Bethany thought it was Isabella who had spoken. She couldn't really distinguish between the voice of Jessica and Isabella. But when she saw that it was Jessica, her brows furrowed in displeasure. "In fact, why did you even bring him here?" Jessica continued, unwilling to soothe her rage. "Did you bring him here in order to spite my boss?" Bethany's eyes strayed from Jessica to Isabella. She wanted to be sure if Isabella would just sit there and do nothing about her secretary trying to insult her openly. Isabella's eyes were red and tough. Seeing the expression of Isabella, Bethany could tell that she was feeling exactly like Jessica, if not more than that. "I see." Bethany walked around the chair and settled in with class. "You shouldn't keep standing, baby." She turned to Irwin. "Thanks, my love." Irwin circled around and sat next to her. Jessica's face was burning. She had asked a question and Bethany had refused to answer her. Instead Bethany was causing more drama

    "Oh my days! Isn't that the Lady Phoenix?!" One of the clientele exclaimed. "I'd be damned. What is the goddess doing here?" Another wondered. "Seeing her in person just goes to prove how cruel the camera is. It doesn't even do half a justice to her looks!""Who is that man with her?""The fact that they are holding hands could only mean one thing.""Quickly take a photo!""The untouchable Lady Phoenix has finally found a man. What a hot patootie!"Bethany could hear half of everything that was being said by the clientele. But she wasn't really bothered by it. She seemed concerned about something else. She took a glance at Irwin whose face was as stern as a steel. She furrowed her brows and sneered, mouthing some words that were only audible to her. Earlier, when she had told Irwin in a fit of rage, that they were going to Edgar's to meet Isabella, she had expected him to react in a way. The reason she made the decision was to take a revenge on him for deciding not to answer her q

    "Hello?" Isabella Rolan was in the middle of a mess when she received that call. "Are you there?"No matter the number of times she asked the question, there was no reply from the other end. The call has been dropped. "What the hell." She was clueless, staring at the phone as though it was some magic wand. "Was that really Bethany Colwill?"Even after everything that had happened, she had never for once thought of erasing Bethany's contact from her phone. In fact, there was no day that she hadn't tried to get a call across to Bethany to no avail. The call was always redirected to voicemail. But all of a sudden, Bethany Colwill had just called her asking to meet at Edgar's right now? What could this possibly be about?"Miss Isabella?" Jessica came walking to her with a staircase of files on her hands. "I'm sorry but it didn't go well.""Did that old fool return the files?" Isabella's brows furrowed in rage. "After what my father did for him? Is he really going to turn his back on us

    "Huh?" Bethany quizzed. "You are about to make me go crazy right now."There was a subtle smile tugging at the corner of Irwin's lips. "Why are you smiling? It's not even funny. You are saying things that will keep me up for a whole month. Do you want me to turn into a sleepless monster?"Irwin's face broadened with the smile, reaching to the other corner of the lips. For a moment, Bethany was convinced to believe that he was only messing with her. "I didn't know that you could joke that much." She decided to discard the thoughts. "For a minute, I thought you were serious.""Who says I'm not." Irwin replied. Bethany's lips moved in swift response but somehow, words didn't follow. She seized that opportunity to put her thoughts together before giving a reply. "Please, Supreme Commander. Can you please stop joking around and tell me what you really mean?" Her eyes held a considerable amount of desperation.Suddenly, her expression changed. She seemed to have come to a realization. S

    There were a couple of Irwin's words that she wanted to hold on to, but there was this particular sentence that was stronger and more compelling compared to the rest. "We won't meet again?" Bethany asked, her face fallen and swollen with sadness. Irwin gazed at her. The sincerity in her eyes whenever she looked at him was so rich and kind. Only if his former wife felt this way about him and loved him sincerely, perhaps he would have been the happiest man on earth. Thinking of it for another few seconds. If he was a nobody or just a random person, Bethany Colwill wouldn't have been drawn to him, either. She was drawn to him because there was something she saw and could gain. He was a diplomatic person who believed that nothing goes for nothing in this world. To find someone who would selflessly slave away for you means to meet an angel who had missed his way to earth. He wasn't judgemental of Bethany. Instead he was appreciative of her. There were people who couldn't take half of

    Strangely, Irwin Buckham found El Roi very interesting. Aside from the obvious flaw of her arrogance which was identical with ladies like her, including Bethany, there was a spark from her. This must be what made her stand out in her acting career. "Take that back!" Bethany warned, stepping into her face. "If you don't want me to get physical with you!"Bethany was now in her face as though she was seeking for an embrace. El Roi took a glance for a moment but looked away, emphasizing that she was only interested in Irwin. "I don't get why you are acting this way." El Roi continued. "You are acting like a possessive wife who is not only controlling, but scared to lose her husband because she knows that safe for her lunatic tendencies, the man would run for his life!""You!" Bethany had a million words to add but the rage stifled them. "If you have been a good person to him, he would have no choice but to respect you. Even if I offer him a billion dollars, he would not leave your sid
