The next day, as Vere was busy reviewing business files in Olivia's mansion, he was interrupted by the doorbell. Vere quickly checked the CCTV to see who was at the door. When he saw a delivery truck parked outside, he went to the gate to talk to the delivery man. To his surprise, the package was from Olivia. After receiving the package, Vere went inside.
The package was long and had some weight to it. Vere eagerly opened it, finding a small note from Olivia that read, "Wayne, this is the present that I promised. I know you will use it for our safety and protection." Vere was astonished as he unveiled a gun from the package. Holding the firearm in his hand, he murmured to himself, "Now, whoever tries to harm me or tarnish our reputation will have something to reckon with."
Inside the package were two valuable firearms, a George Washington saddle pistol, and a Cabot Guns meteorite pistol. Vere couldn't believe his eyes. It was a moment of astonishment as he gazed at the stunning and historically significant weapons. Their rarity and craftsmanship left him in awe, and he couldn't help but appreciate the remarkable historical and artistic value enclosed within the package.
Vere couldn't believe the thoughtful and unexpected gift from Olivia. He knew that it symbolized her commitment to their safety and the protection of their interests. With this new addition, he felt a renewed sense of confidence and security. Vere carefully stored the gun away, vowing to use it wisely to safeguard their shared future.
Afterwards, Vere called Olivia. "Olivia, thank you for this wonderful gift," Vere said. "It's my promise to you, Wayne. Remember, I want you to be safe even when I'm not there," Olivia reassured him.
After the conversation with Olivia, Vere decided to visit the cemetery to pay his respects to his mother and to his late wife, Mira. When Vere arrived at the cemetery, he first visited his mother's grave. While gazing at his mother's tombstone, tears welled up in Vere's eyes.
"Mom, even though you're no longer here, I know you're still watching over me," Vere said, his voice choking with emotion as tears streamed down his cheeks.
After visiting his mother's grave, Vere made his way to the tombstone of his late wife, Mira. As he stood there, gazing at Mira's resting place, he began to speak with a heavy heart.
"My love, I'm sorry for everything I did, and I hope you can understand why I got so angry. I know you know I didn't do anything wrong; all I wanted was for our family to be okay," Vere said, his voice filled with sorrow. "I love you so much. Please forgive me for being so resentful towards your parents now that you're gone."
Tears welled up in Vere's eyes as he poured out his feelings at Mira's gravesite, seeking a sense of closure and reconciliation, even though Mira was no longer there to respond.
In the quietness of the cemetery, after some time, a voice spoke from behind Vere. He hadn't noticed anyone approaching.
"Hi, who are you?" a woman's voice inquired. "What are you doing here at Mira's grave?"
At that moment, Vere was taken back, his heart racing. He turned around to see a stranger with a concerned look in the woman's eyes.
Startled, Vere replied, "I'm Vere, and I'm here to visit my late friend, Mira. She means a lot to me, and I come here to remember her."
The stranger nodded, her expression softening. "I'm sorry for intruding. My name is Ivie, and I came here to visit my best friend's grave. It's just that I saw you talking to Mira's tombstone, and it piqued my curiosity. It seems like you shared something special with her ."
Vere offered a small, appreciative smile, touched by Ivie's understanding. "Thank you, Ivie. Yes, Mira was very special to me."
At that moment, Vere bid Ivie farewell. However, Vere came to a sudden stop in his walking when Ivie asked, "Hey, wait, what's your name?" "Wayne," Vere replied with a friendly smile. "Nice to meet you, Wayne," Ivie said with a warm greeting. Vere reciprocated, "Nice to meet you too, Ivie," as a sign of respect. He nodded his head politely and then continued walking.
While Vere was walking towards his car, just before getting in, he suddenly stopped as he noticed another vehicle approaching. At that time, Vere felt like he got a shiver down their spine, prompting them to quickly hop into their own car. Vere then started driving away from his parking spot.
A little further down the road, Vere came to a stop and looked back, scrutinizing the incoming car from a distance. Vere noticed that it was Mr. and Mrs. Fuentez who exited their vehicle with James.
At that moment, Vere's two eyes caught the conversation from a distance. Vere stared at them as they were engaging in a conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Fuentez and James and Ivie. They were talking animatedly, and Vere couldn't help but glance around. It was then that Vere drove away from the cemetery.
While Vere was driving, he couldn't help but think about the events that had transpired, especially during the time when Mr. and Mrs. Fuentez belittled him. Those memories haunted him until the day they realized he was a good person, leading to his marriage to Mira. However, at that moment, he couldn't bear to recall the time he was falsely accused of killing Mira, which ultimately led to his imprisonment.
While Vere continued to drive, he found himself talking to himself. The pain and harshness of his past life experiences were still vivid in his memory. However, he was grateful to the Lord because despite it all, he never gave up. He still believed that a brighter future awaited him.
A short while later, Vere suddenly slammed on his brakes as he narrowly avoided a collision with another car that suddenly cut in front of him, then sped past and overtook his vehicle before brushing against its side. "Oh God damn, what is that?" Vere exclaimed, his anger flaring. Fueled by frustration, he accelerated, determined to catch up to the reckless driver who had just cut him off.
After a brief chase, Vere managed to block the other car on the road. Soon after, an attractive woman in sunglasses stepped out of the car that had cut him off and walked over to Vere's vehicle. She knocked on his window.
Vere was taken back when he saw the woman.

Meanwhile, in the midst of their conversation, Vere was about to reveal his true identity and answer Ronnie's question when suddenly, his phone rang. Their discussion came to an abrupt halt as Vere glanced at the screen and answered the call."Excuse me, Ronnie, I have to take this. It's Olivia calling," Vere said, stepping away towards the pool."Hello, Olivia.""Hey Wayne, how's everything?" Olivia's voice came through, sounding slightly strained."All is good here. As I told you before, Ronnie is someone we can trust," Vere replied, his eyes scanning the pool's still waters. "We were just discussing our plans for the upcoming meeting with Mr. James.""Oh, okay. I'm happy to hear that," Olivia said. "If you need anything, just give me a call, okay?"As the conversation continued, Vere noticed something unusual in Olivia's tone. She sounded weak, distant. Concerned, he asked, "Olivia, are you okay?"There was a brief silence before Olivia sighed and replied, "Actually... not really.

As he entered the dining area, he saw Ronnie sitting at the table, sipping his coffee in quiet contemplation."Hey, morning," Ronnie greeted, a casual smile on his face."Coffee?" he offered with a gesture to the steaming cup in front of him."Yes, sure, thanks," Vere replied, a slight smile curving his lips. He walked over, took a seat, and reached for the cup. The warmth of the coffee did little to calm the storm of thoughts swirling in his head.The silence between them was comfortable at first, but it didn’t take long before they both began discussing the meeting that awaited them the following day."Are you excited?" Ronnie asked, looking up from his cup, a slight gleam of curiosity in his eyes."Yes, I am," Vere replied, his gaze steady. "This is the biggest moment of my life. I've been waiting for this for years."

He muttered to himself, “Finally, I’m back, and I’m so happy to be home.”He glanced around and spotted Ronnie, who waved energetically at him. It was clear from the expression on Ronnie’s face that he was just as happy to see Vere again.“Hey, welcome back, Mr. Wayne! Glad to see you again,” Ronnie greeted him enthusiastically as he approached.Vere smiled, feeling the familiar comfort of his right-hand man’s presence. “Thank you, Ronnie.
