Stacy puts on the expensive dress that her husband bought for her. She looks at herself in the mirror and she smiles at the beauty that looks back at her. Gray comes into the room. He stops at the door and smiles at her. “Wow, my wife is the most beautiful woman in the world.” Stacy giggles. He comes over to her and puts a necklace over her neck. From looking at it, she can tell that it's very expensive. She raises her head, about to ask Gray where he got the money to buy such an expensive gift, but he beats her to it, and with a smile. “The anonymous trillionaire, his wife, was kind enough to give me some of her old jewelry.” Stacy's eyes widens, but not because of how expensive the necklace is. “The anonymous trillionaire has a wife?!” She is stunned. “Yes,” Gray nods. “She is like the sweetest person too.” “You've met her too?

“There she is, the stupid girl, Stacy. She doesn't know what we have in plan for her today.” Dan chuckles. He expects Wendy to laugh in agreement, but she is so engrossed in looking at Stacy's necklace that she didn't hear him. “Keep everyone entertained, Dan, I need to go and speak to Stacy.”“About what?” “Just do what I asked you, Dan, stop asking too many questions.” She snaps at him. She puts on a smile on her face and waves at the guests as she stylishly walks to the Lances’ table. Stacy immediately tensed up as soon as she sees Wendy. She hardly gets good vibes from her cousin, so she is freaked out by the smile on her face. “Hey, Stacy! Gray! What's up?” Wendy causally says. “Hi, Wendy.” Stacy says. “You look very beautiful in that dress.” “Well,.duh. I can't come in here looking like a hobo, it's my grandfather's remembrance party. He has always liked the stylish side of me.” Gray doesn't say a word. Unlike Stacy, who is still so forgiving to her family, Gray knows

Stacy is pissed at her cousin, she returns to the table and sits down with Gray. Gray looks into her face, and he can see that Stacy looks very pissed off. .“What's the problem, my love? Did your cousin get on your nerves again?” he asks. Stacy sighs as she pushes her hair away from her face. “Can you believe that she asked me to take off the necklace that the anonymous trillionaire's wife gave to me? She said it's so expensive and she wants to wear it.” Gray frowns immediately. Wendy has no self-respect, or even respect for other people. That's why she had the audacity to ask something like that from Stacy. But he looks at her neck and sees that the necklace is still on her neck, and this makes him smile. Finally, she is standing up to her cousin. “See how you refused to give it to her? I'm so proud of you for standing for yourself. “ he smiles and reaches to hold her hand. He is holding her hand, but she sighs and she looks down. She is a people pleaser sometimes and now, s

How dare she try to disrespect them like that? Wendy puts on a fake smile and pretends to be adjusting the collar of Pam's shirt. “Do you have a death wish, Pam? Did you just invite that church rat to share a stage with us?” She clenches her teeth. “How dare try to associate her with us?!” Pam doesn't back down. She won't allow this spoiled brat to bully her to the ground. “Stacy is also a granddaughter to your grandfather. She deserves to be here, just like any of you!” “What do you know about deserving anything?” Wendy huffs. “Don't worry, after this party, I am going to teach you a very bitter lesson.” This whole conversation is made in whispers, so Stacy is just innocently smiling in the corner, she doesn't know what's happening. After the clapping has died down, Pam hands the microphone to Dan.

Everyone is kindly smiling at her, the way people would look at their savior…She sighs and presses her hand against her forehead. “But, I can't deliver the speech? I'm not the Mars' wife, that's not even possible.” William smiles at her. “Oh, Stacy. You have no idea how possible anything can be.” That's when it strikes her with a heavy beating of her chest.

No one, except Brody, knows that this man is the anonymous trillionaire, but as soon as they see the fear in Brody's eyes, they immediately know. Brody fired up to three shots and none of them hit this man. He drops his gun in fright and starts to back into the wall. “You are not human!” He shivers. “You are not human, you fucking bastard!” He tries to find something to shield himself because from the look in Gray's eyes, he knows that he is about to be killed. He throws a chair in Gray's direction, but when he sees that doesn't work, he grabs the almost frightened newscaster lady and uses her as a human shield. She shrieks and he immediately slaps his hand over her mouth. “Shut up! If you come any closer to me, I am going to shoot her, you hear me!” Everyone is shaken, they don't want to lose another of their colleagues. They expect that the Mars would throw away his gun and negotiate with the crazy man, but that's not what happens. Gray casually checks his gun to see if it's

Once Brody had said the single line that he had rehearsed, he expected for the professionals to take over. Yes, even though he has just barged into the place, shot a bunch of people, and traumatized the hell out of them, he expects for them to still be very professional and come up with the best questions. He sighs with anger when he sees that the newscasters are just holding on to each other like scared chickens, and trying their hardest not to make eye contact with him. “Now, listen to me, you two fools,” he picks up the gun again. “I didn't go through all that trouble for you two to be fucking dumb, so you better get your shit together, or I am going to blow your fucking brains all over the place.” The lady shuts her eyes as more tears pours out. She is sobbing, she has to press her hands over her mouth to keep the sound out. The man has to summon courage, else they are going to be dead, so he whispers to his colleague and pushes her to the side. He takes out his handkerchief

He watched the official announcement, now the whole world knows the truth about what has happened. He doesn't have anywhere else to go, he doesn't have anything to use to save himself. He still has a few tens of supporters, they are afraid to come out and say so because they fear Mars and also the judgement from their friends and families. Some of them have cut off contact with him, and this breaks his heart even more. He can't flee the country too, because he knows that he is going to be caught at the airport, or as soon as he approaches any border.Brody knows that surrendering won't work, not after the many things that he and his family did. So, what will he do now? He decides to go on live TV and say his mind. Brody is surely a master manipulator and he knows that if he plays his cards right, he will gather the gullible lots among the W
