Beth had hired some men that same day to clear out all of Joseph's paintings and artwork.From the smallest images to his gigantic portrait hanging in the main hall, painted by a very famous artist."I want everything out of the mansion," Beth ordered as the men carried out their tasks.Just then, the Stanton brothers arrived and found these individuals loading their deceased father's belongings onto a truck."Mom?" Agatha exclaimed, a bit confused."Dear children... you're back," Beth approached them with a satisfied smile, reflecting how much she was enjoying the moment."What's happening here, Mom?" Carson asked."What are these men doing with Dad's things?" Campbell began to struggle with one of them over one of Joseph's paintings."Children... Children... Children..." Beth exclaimed, taking Campbell's shoulder and letting the man take Joseph's painting.Beth stood in front of them, arms crossed over her chest."I just want to give this house a little touch of modernity," Beth shr

The funeral of Joseph Stanton had changed venues. It was now taking place at the Ballmer mansion, adorned with dignified decorations.Beth found out and promptly appeared at the Ballmer mansion, putting on her best performance as a grieving widow. She dressed entirely in black, holding a Bible in hand, mourning beside Joseph's casket while Alfred wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.She knew perfectly well that the elite would attend Joseph's funeral if it was held at the Ballmer mansion, and she cared about the opinions of those magnates for potential future business."If you look up the word 'hypocrisy' in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of your mom," Charles Ballmer said to Carson as they observed Beth from a distance.Carson sighed, lips moving with arms crossed over his chest. "You can't blame her for doing what's necessary to secure that endless fortune," Carson replied.Charles smirked ironically, placing his hand on Carson's shoulder. "Your dad had very bad luck cro

The burial of Joseph took place, and then everyone tried to get back to their lives to continue after that loss.Curtis decided to leave the country, taking advantage of the golden card that Joseph had left him.He arrived at the airport intending to take a flight to any nation in the world where he could be away from the Stanton family, the Ballmers, and Amber."Good morning," said Curtis as he approached the ticket counter."Good morning," the employee said, looking at Curtis with doubt."I would like to buy a ticket."The employee raised her eyebrow, and her lips moved to one side of her face to express distrust."Are you sure you can pay for it?"The girl discreetly rolled her chair back a bit and prepared to press the alarm button to call security."Of course... I have enough money to pay for all the seats on the plane," Curtis shouted, losing control a bit."Don't shout, sir. Please remain calm."The girl pressed the button under the podium, and immediately the silent alarm went

The sound of the doorbell echoed through the quiet mansion, disrupting the afternoon tranquility. An employee, in the house's impeccable uniform, hurried to open the front door. On the other side, a weary-looking delivery person held several boxes."Good afternoon, may I assist you?" the employee asked politely.The delivery person nodded, handing over the package with a tired smile."I have a delivery for Mrs. Beth Aldress," he said, as the employee took the packages with curiosity. "They're the uniforms she ordered for all the staff," the delivery person explained before bidding farewell and quickly departing.The employee closed the door behind him and hurried to bring the package to Beth, knowing that his employer would be eager to inspect the new uniforms for her staff.Under the warm afternoon sun, Beth and Baxter relaxed by the mansion's pool, enjoying the quiet murmur of the water.As the sun kissed their skin, Beth turned to Baxter with an inquisitive look in her eyes."Baxte

"You don't have a brain? Everything you wrote in that report is wrong!Baxter closed his eyes as Beth threw that document against his chest, and the white sheets began to fly around the room.The room that once served as Joseph Stanton's private office was now some sort of spa for Beth to receive a manicure from Alfred.Baxter gathered courage and sighed to bend down and pick up all those sheets submissively."We need a good report that explains our position on the disappearance of the will, and you produce this garbage," Beth complained.Baxter crossed his arms while crouching and silently stared at Beth. His mouth didn't utter words, but his mind was shouting insults at her like never before in his life."If you want a better report, you'll have to pay someone," threatened Baxter, utterly tired of Beth's humiliations."You really are a lousy lawyer. I don't understand how you worked for Joseph for so many years," Beth said, denigrating Baxter's work.Baxter continued gathering all t
