Marcus watched as Lydia left and turned back to the manager, who immediately stood up and bowed to him, then offered her hand for a handshake.Marcus took it, and they greeted each other, then sat down, Kathie sitting beside him. "What happened to her?" Marcus curiously asked.The manager told him, "The money toy sent to her that day, she came and asked for who sent it, then showed me pictures of an unknown man if he is the one that sent it"."So…what actually happened?" Marcus inquired, listening attentively."As I see it, she has been scammed, I think someone impersonated himself as the one that sent the money, she fell for it," the manager told him. Marcus immediately knew Joel was at work, he scoffed, "That clueless lady, I know this will happen".The manager nodded, then added, "Why are you here, please? How can I help?"Mary came to the bank so she could issue a black card to Kathie also. The manager did the processing and after finishing it, she assured them she would deliver th

At the police station, Lydia arrived in a flurry of nervous energy, her mind swirling with a myriad of emotions. She hurried inside, eager to confront Joel and demand answers.Entering the interrogation room, Lydia's eyes locked onto Joel, who sat slumped in a chair."You scumbag! You this liar! How could you do this to me?" Lydia exclaimed, grabbing him by the collar, the police officer immediately freed him from her.Joel remained silent, his gaze fixed on the floor."I am the stupid one to fall for your lies, you are not the one that even sent the money, I am being stupid to believe you""yeah, you are stupid and greedy, all what you care about is money", Joel stated.Lydia scoffed, "I thought you were the one that sent me the money, I was being stupid for that but not greedy"."If not of greediness, why did you divorced Marcus and lose a gem", he slipped, and nearly revealed Marcus.Lydia frowned, she was confused, "A gem?".Marcus had warned him not to reveal him to her, he staye

Marcus and Kathie made their way to the hideout, where the man was kept. As they entered the basement, where the man was tied to a steel chair. Paulina and Ivan immediately approached him."Sir, we caught him trying to run away from the country," Ivan reported. Marcus nodded and walked towards the man. His face was bloody, as Ivan had tortured him to confess who sent him, but he refused to talk."He hasn't confessed yet," Marcus inquired, and Ivan nodded.Marcus snapped at Kathie as she came forward with a briefcase in her hand. Marcus stepped behind for her to do her work.Kathie opened the briefcase and brought out a ton of gold, "Look, a ton of gold worth $500,000, tell us who sent you and we will give you this."The man raised his head, dripping with blood, and scoffed, "You think you can convince me with this meagre amount of money? I would rather die than tell you who sent me."Ivan was off hearing this as he stepped forward, but Kathie motioned for him to stop, then brought out

Marcus's mind raced as he tried to maintain his composure. He knew this moment would come eventually, but not like this, not this soon and unexpected. Marcus extended his hand and met Mr. Victor's gaze head-on."Do you know me?" Marcus inquired, offering a smile despite the whirlwind of thoughts in his mind.Mr. Victor smiled, his demeanor calm. "Yeah, I do. How is your father, Mr. Thonks?"Sophia looked at both of them, her confusion evident. How could Marcus's father, who hadn't been around since all this while, know Marcus?"How is your father, Mr. Thonks? Hope he is doing well," Mr. Victor added, his tone casual."Yeah, very well. It's unexpected to meet you here today," Marcus said, attempting to appear composed.Sophia's mouth fell open as she gazed at Marcus, her brow furrowed. "What! Marcus, you told me you are an orphan."Marcus didn't reply to her but instead locked his gaze with Mr. Victor, who was smiling mischievously. "Indeed, unexpected," Marcus replied cryptically, his

Marcus hung up the call and faced his father back, "There is no going back, I am going on with this."Mr. Thinks nodded and tapped his shoulder again, "Okay, you have my full support, call me anytime if you really need anything."Marcus shook his head, as Mr. Thinks bid him farewell and left; he returned back to the room. Kathie was already clothed waiting for him, "Hope you are not being scolded."Marcus scoffed, "No, not at all, he even wants you as my wife… he is just dreaming high."Kathie clenched her fist hearing this, and then Marcus's phone rang again; he exhaled in frustration before picking it up again."Hello, why are you calling… you should know we are now enemies," Marcus told Sophia. There was total silence before Sophia spoke, "Yeah, I know, but can we meet, at my house?""Meet? How can I trust you, who knows you are now working with your father," he stated."You lied to me in the first place, I am not like you, I just want us to talk and clear something," she said."Ok
