Meanwhile, Lucy started hearing rumors about the new boss in town that pursued Mr. Ban into hiding. She heard that a man called Greg had returned from prison and taken the city unawares. ''Mr. Ban arrested him and took his woman...'' Lucy overheard one of her staff breaking down the storyline to a colleague, and she could not help but twitch her eyebrows in wonder. ''Pius...'' Lucy called the staff of hers that was explaining what really happened between Greg Chase and Mr. Ban, for them to harbor such extreme hate for themselves. ''Who is this Greg Chase of a man, and what does he have to do with my uncle?'' Lucy asked Pius as soon as he entered the office.The young man cowered and started to plead with Lucy, thinking that she was upset because he was saying negative things about her uncle, and she had called him to scold him. ''I am sorry, Ms. Ban. I didn't know you were around and that you will hear me. I was just telling him what...'' Pius was saying this when Lucy interrupted

''Ms. Ban...'' Barter said with a hoarse voice when he saw that the person that was walking into the house through the dark corridor was Lucy Ban. When he heard her footsteps and her voice calling out for her Uncle, Damien Ban, Barter paused on beating Laura up. Naturally, he would attack anyone that dared to trespass into Mr. Ban's inner chamber like that, but he heard the voice and it sounded very familiar, moreover, it was a lady's voice screaming, ''Uncle Ban...'' so there was no way that Barter could attack. Instead, he waited for the intruder to reveal herself. By now, Laura's face was already covered in blood and injuries. When Lucy walked up to Barter and he saw her he quickly stood in front of her, shielding her from seeing Laura's hopelessly beaten up body on the ground. Lucy was breathing heavily at this point, as she could see that someone was lying motionless on the ground, a woman for that matter. She became afraid. What had happened? Had Barter killed a woman bec

Lucy didn't go far away. She left Mr. Ban's house, but she was hovering around, waiting for him to wake up. Unfortunately for her, the sleeping substance that Laura had put in his whiskey was gravely potent. Mr. Ban didn't wake up until midnight, and there was no way she could wait in her luxury car on the streets, so she went back home. But, she was back early the next day. She had to get to the bottom of her findings, she had to get to the bottom of a lot of things. Mr. Ban's face was not looking good at all because of what he was forced to do to Laura.Laura had committed so many atrocities against Mr. Ban, Barter, and even the government, yet she refused to settle down and keep a low profile. She was still trying to escape. It pained Mr. Ban so much. Especially when he had to add salt to the injury and hit Laura several times across the cheeks when he heard that she drugged him.No wonder he could not stay put to finish a little task that he had in front of him. He just wanted

When Lucy left with the salty attitude that she did, Mr. Ban's heart felt as if it was dividing in two. There was a sudden feeling that slowly crept into his mind, one that felt like he had felt it before. It was hate. Deep hate. But who was this deep hate directed at? Of course, it was the same old usual suspect and sworn enemy of Mr. Ban, Greg Chase. Mr. Ban could not even go after Lucy to ask her not to be upset because he knew that it would be of no use. The energy that oozed out of her at this point, made him a hundred percent sure that Lucy was not going to easily turn back to being his little princess of a niece. She had discovered too much about him, too much, too dirty much. While Lucy was stomping out of her Uncle's house angrily, Laura heard her footsteps and started to yell like a demented woman. ''Let me out! Who? Who's out there? Let me out this minute. Barter? Damien?'' Laura called. Lucy froze, but Barter was walking behind her, so he gently nudged her to go ahead

Greg had been seeing Lucy's calls, and the more she called, the more he shied away from answering her. He knew that she was calling to nag him about one thing or the other concerning his newly chosen path. ''Greg, this is not you. You don't have to be a gangsta like my uncle because of what he did to you five years ago,'' Lucy texted Greg after trying to speak to him several times, to no avail. Greg stared at the text message, in shock. What was Lucy talking about? Five years ago, what happened five years ago? Greg had not told her anything, so he wondered what she was talking about and why she was so confident to send him that sort of text.''I'm literally done with this Ban family, for crying out loud,'' Greg Chase said and tossed his phone away.What did she mean by what happened five years ago?Greg tried to make himself busy with other commitments, but it was difficult for him not to remember Lucy's annoying text. Now he was desperate to hear from her. He was desperate to fin
