Alex and Paulina got out of the car, while Brian stayed back. "Do not leave the car. We won't be long." Alex told Brian as they walked towards Dickson's mansion. Alex walked in and smiled. "It is good to see you, Mr. Richard." "You too, Alex. I am sorry about your grandfather." Richard added "We have moved past that already. You said you wanted to see me." Alex looked at Richard, cutting to the chase. "I don't know what you and Roseline talked about, but we kept on saying weird things. I want you both to patch up and go back to the way things were before. Can you at least do that for me?" Richard looked at Alex. Alex looked at Paulina and back at Richard. "What did she talk to you about?" He asked, staring at Richard. "Well, I hope it won't get you all angry and worked up, but do you have any evidence that I had a hand in the death of your parents?"" Richard asked, looking at Alex. "I don't, but I am ready to find out." Alex replied There was tension in the room between both me

He hesitated with a slight tremble in his hand, not knowing what to expect as he reached for the doorknob. He had never been compelled to go see Paulina at the villa before, but he now felt a strong urge to visit her.Taking a deep breath, Alex opened the door and entered. He was welcomed by a poorly lit entrance area, with long shadows on the walls adding an eerie sense of movement.

Alex sat at the dining table, feeling the tension in the air as he awaited the confrontation between the two important women in his life.Paulina stayed composed, showing a calm expression even though Henrietta was hostile. Paulina responded calmly, stating that she was present because Alex requested that she remain for some time, with her voice remaining composed.Henrietta scorned, looking briefly at Alex before turning back to Paulina. "Naturally, he did. Is he always coming to you whenever he needs something? Henrietta's arms crossed her chest as she spoke bitterly.Alex interposed himself, rising from the table and positioning himself between the two women. "Henrietta, if you don't mind."

He felt a significant burden when deciding to ask Henrietta to marry him, but he understood the importance of being cautious to safeguard himself and his loved ones.In his room, Alex walked back and forth quietly, thinking about the future and the challenges coming his way. He understood that marrying Henrietta wasn't only a personal decision but also a calculated action to protect his status in the complex dynamics of high society.
