It's not a surprise that Adriana wants them to use Uma, a child, to get back at her parents for what they did to her. “Are you crazy, Adriana?” Phil asks. “Uma is literally a child. What has she got to do with any?” Adriana hits her hand against the table. “Listen to me! I worked for the Sanchez family all my life! Grandfather never passed down a chance to remind me that he picked me up from the gutter. I slaved away with hopes that one day, I was going to get something, but no! Uma is going to grow up to inherit everything that I worked for, it's silly for me to try to protect a child who won't give a fuck about me when she grows up rich!” “You want us to kill a child, Adriana?” James calmly asks. Adriana flips her hair and shrugs, as if what she has suggested is not even that big of a deal. “Don't we want to hit them where it would hurt?” She wonders. “Hurting Uma is going to make all of them suffer.” “I'm not killing her.” Phil backs away from the plan. “I knew you were a b

Thomas decides to go and confront Andrew at the Jackson's head office. He was tried to be stopped by securities, but becoming the soon to be father-in-law of the richest man in the country has gotten into his head. “Get your filthy hands off me, you fools!” He shouts at the guards. “Do you know who my soon to be son-in-law is?! He is going to have your heads!” Henry is noticing everything through the security camera and Andrew has a frown on his face as he sees his ex father-in-law behaving so radically. “Isn't that your father-in-law?” He turns to Andrew. “It's him, sir. I have no idea why he is here or what he's doing.” Andrew says with a look of concern on his face. Henry chuckles as he presses the small red button on h

Blood starts to drop from Mister Manor’s head and soon, the white marble floor has a huge red stain. It doesn't seem to bug anyone but Andrew. He looks around and everyone is acting as if what has happened is just as normal as breathing. Mister Henry sighs as he puts away his gun. “Eva, reset.” He commands. “Mister Manor seems to be suffering from a gunshot wound. May I contact the emergency services–” “Trust me, Eva, Mister Manor is in a better place. Now, reset.” Gaius takes out a laptop from his backpack and goes on to connect it to an outlet near the desk. He starts to work on it and Henry goes to lean against the table. James starts to whistle as he throws some of his grandfather's figurines into his pockets. He is robbing a dead man! “Stupid son of a bitch. He wouldn't let me touch anything because he thought I wasn't clean enough?” James grunts. “Look who's dead now.” He walks over to his grandfather and takes off his vintage gold watch. He looks very proud of himself

It's as if he is expecting the kids that he is accusing her of kidnapping to pop out of nowhere. “What the hell are you doing here?!” She asks him. “You have gone so low, Adriana. You are now kidnapping children?” She scoffs and folds her hands with the likeness of a scolded child. “You have no idea what you are talking about, Jasper.” “Oh, don't lie to me! I've known you for too long, I can hear you lying right in my face!” He scowl at her. “What the hell do you take me for?” “You know, I've been trying to tell myself that you haven't changed that much, but I will be ly
