"Grandma!" Bryan and Stacy were both shocked to see Alicia in front of them. Ronald was just as surprised as both Bryan and Stacy. All three of them were nervous, worried that Alicia might have overheard their conversation. They stayed quiet, trying to figure out with what kind of explanation they're supposed to cover it up if Alicia were to bring up about their conversation but first they tried to read her expression to know whether she heard them or not.Stacy broke the silence finally trying to know how much Alicia has heard from their entire conversation, "When did you get here, Grandma?" Alicia smiled gently with her reply, "Just now sweetie." The three of them took a breath in relief, realizing she hadn't overheard anything and kept their worries aside since they don't have to come up with an explanation."I actually came here to talk to Bryan," Alicia continued while getting closer to Bryan, "but it seems like I interrupted some serious conversation between you three. Did I?" S

"Bryan, it's not that we're suspicious of you, we know very well about what kind of person you are, and there's no way for me to have a bad impression on you," Officer Hobbes said gently, noticing Bryan’s silence being worried about him. "I just want to help if something is bothering you, you've always been a lot of helpful for us, so I want to help you too in return."Bryan's face had drained of color, completely turning into pale, the weight of his past life memories overwhelming him, the words got struck within his throat because of painful memories rewinding in front of him. But he reminded himself that those memories were from his previous life, and he wouldn't let that happen again."I'm sorry, Officer," Bryan finally responded, he managed to keep the voice steady despite its shaky. "I was lost in thought hearing about toxic levels in the liquid I asked you to inquire about. There's nothing I'm hiding from you, the first suspicion in me grew noticing that liquid placed in a care

Bryan could feel the tension filled in the room clearly. Everyone’s attention was focused on him waiting for his answers, and earlier he sensed someone sneaking behind him, trying to eavesdrop. Although he hadn’t thought much of it before, this incident made him realize he needed to be more careful in the future, since there's eyes everywhere concentrating on him, waiting for one opportunity to use against him."What’s going on, Bryan?" Josephine asked, being impatient and also there's a smirk on her face while questioning him. "Why aren’t you answering? Can’t you see your dad asking you something? Is this how you behave in front of your parents?" Josephine deep inside enjoying the situation more than anyone, "this brat dared to speak against me, not only that he thought he can behave as he wants infront of me, so now he'll understand who is the boss in this house, from now, not even in his dreams, he'll dare to mess with me."Pouring water on Josephine's expectations, Bryan responde

Josephine was momentarily startled by Bryan's words. She stammered not even understanding what exactly she is trying to speak, "Why do you think I abandoned you? That old woman from the orphanage must be filling your head with nonsense. Why are you paying attention to that nonsense? You got lost accidentally in that huge crowd because of your childish behaviour, it wasn't my fault at all, so stop blaming me for something I've never done." Bryan’s suspicion is now totally confirmed after noticing fear in her voice along with the panicked facial expression, being amused by the woman infront of her, he burst into laughter. "What old woman? Who is filling my head with nonsense? When did I ever say you abandoned me? And why are you being so defensive, as if you’re the reason behind my missing years ago? By chance do you've any involvement in that?" "Bryan!" Josephine shouted being caught off guard by Bryan's manipulation of words, but he cut her off, raising his hand in air with a sigh r

"What happened?" Stacy questioned the maid to ascertain why their grandmother called them suddenly, but whereas the maid replied with a clueless expression, “I dont know young lady. The old madam instructed Mr. John and he instructed me to bring both of you immediately."Bryan and Stacy exchanged confused looks not understanding the reason they were called immediately. While Ronald leaned closer to Bryan by whispering in his ear, "Do you think your earlier actions got exposed? Is that the reason we are getting called by your grandma?" Bryan rolled his eyes being extremely confident about his moves. "That man will never believe her. She got fooled multiple times when its about taking action against me. That man is very attentive and careful right now, so he would never risk anything out of fear that I might leave the house in disappointment." Ronald sighed at Bryan's words. "Then what's the reason for us to be called down immediately out of nowhere, when we just came upstairs?" "Who
