"Can't you send your name at the end of the message too, Mr Cedric? I was literally scared to death when I saw the picture of Shannon sitting in a wheelchair in the middle of the park. Do you know how I felt all the way here in no less than fifteen minutes? I kept cursing myself for thinking that you guys were paralysed, so that one of my enemies could bring Shannon out of her room. Oh, my gosh! I'm really going crazy over a picture of my pregnant wife in her first trimester, Mr Cedric. Can you understand me as I try to understand you?"
Cedric nodded slowly. From the fierce look on his face, there was no hint of remorse. But Aland knew very well that the bowed head reflected a great deal of guilt."I apologise for my negligence this time, Mr Fischer. My phone ran out of power. That's why I informed you about using Joe's phone. I should have mentioned my name at the end of the message. I promise not to repeat this mistake again, Mr Fischer."Aland nodded while girding his

Jill immediately ran towards the direction where Camellia was sitting and being interrogated. Her face was panicked, especially when she hugged her daughter, who was still neatly handcuffed. Her eyes filled with tears, she immediately grasped her daughter's hand as if reassuring Camellia that everything would be alright."Please cooperate well, Mrs Reynolds."Unfortunately, the greeting of the police officer who was interrogating Camellia was completely ignored. Jill and Camellia were still busy crying at each other, as if they had been separated for a long time and had just met again at the police station."You're going to help me, right, mum? You can handle this for me, can't you?" Camellia asked through her tears. She was genuinely curious as to what her mum, who often solved everything with money, could do.Jill nodded, then pushed aside all of her daughter's hair that filled her beautiful sweaty face."Your husband, he'll do whatever it takes to get you out

"I think Jill was about to panic, Aland.”Pete's statement from the other end of the call after dinner made Aland and Shannon nod simultaneously. Those who were sitting on the edge of the bed confirmed it."We know all the police here are honest. Unfortunately, Arthur tried to bribe them with a big bag of money. His efforts were in vain. And his name was tarnished in an instant."Shannon paused. Not because she was uncomfortable because of what happened to Jill and Camellia, but because of something else. And her expression was immediately noticed by Pete, who was connected to the video call feature from a distance."What's going on, Shannon? Is something bothering you?"Shannon blinked quickly and smiled softly. She glanced at Aland, who was also looking at her as he nodded, trying to demand the answer he wanted."No, Pete. I mean, I just want to get home. You know, don't you, seeing you, remind me of my late dad? So while I'm with you, I feel like I have my

"Are you getting crazy? All the police are working honestly now, Arthur! And you're trying to fish in murky waters? It's not the fish you can eat that will be hooked, it's the big fish that will pull you in and drown you!"Arthur let out a long sigh in his room. Ever since he left the police station after being insulted by his old friend Frey, he had been trying to lock himself in his room in the Fischer family's luxurious home. He ignored even the dozens of calls from Jill."I know you can hear me inside, Arthur! Open the door and let's talk face to face! You're too big to keep relying on me to solve your problems! Open the door and let's find a solution together, Arthur!"Jill continued to knock loudly on Arthur's room door. Her tissue-thin patience was being severely tested. She was really tired. It had been half an hour since she had shouted at Arthur to talk together."Damn it! Just because your watch was pushed and witnessed by many people, you're reluctant to

Jill had just stepped up, approaching the gate of the Fischer residence, when she heard the commotion outside. She frowned as she pressed her ear against the fence. It was true. There was a lot of noise back there.Slowly but surely, Jill made her way to the guardhouse. She hissed softly as the guard on duty was about to move and say hello. She pointed her index finger right in front of her mouth to make the guard stay put.The two guards there nodded in understanding and remained silent. They whisper quietly before one of them finally came out to approach after Jill waved her hand."What is it, Mrs Reynolds?""Why are there so many people outside the fence?"Hearing Jill's question, the guard was naturally confused. He looked away for a moment before speaking again."They came with you earlier, Mrs Reynolds. I thought you and Mr Fischer would be having a press conference soon. So we let them stay here for a while."Suddenly, Jill was stunned. She looked

"What's wrong, hun?" asked Aland. He approached Shannon, who looked troubled in front of the grave of William, who had passed away long ago.Shannon frowned and shook her head slowly. For some reason, she felt that the grave where her dad was buried had changed and was not the same as the one she used to visit before going to school abroad. "I'm sure the grave has changed, Aland. It's not like what I knew the last time I came here."Aland, who had never been there, only frowned when he found his wife busy showing him old photos of his dad's grave. He glanced at the phone that had been shown by Shannon, who was still standing beside him."You see this, right?" Shannon zoomed in on the picture, and showing that some things had changed. Especially regarding the smaller size than the one in the picture. "The gravestone is smaller than before, isn't it? There was no mound of dirt before. But this time, why is there a difference? I mean, it's not an ordinary change, is it?"

"Are you getting crazy?! You're asking me to confess even though I'm your half-sister? You guys didn't even find anything as evidence other than the financial statements that you could have manipulated! Did you?"Shannon was silent. She leaned forward even more, trying to get as close as possible to the maddened Camellia."How can I do that if I've been a magazine journalist for Reynolds Industries all of my life, Lia? You forgot, Mum agreed to your proposal because she knew I liked writing. You said I had to work my way up from the bottom to become a good CEO in the future. And now, I'm just doing my job well. Was I wrong?"Seeing the innocent look on Shannon's face, Camellia was fed up. She was really upset when she realised that Shannon's arrival was just about to humiliate her there. Without hesitation, Lia spat angrily at Shannon's face.Aland moved, as did Cedric and one other guard, who spontaneously approached Lia and tried to clasp her. As for Aland, he imme

Jill and Arthur run around with a bag of money found on William's grave. In fact, despite carrying three bags of money, there was still plenty left in William's seemingly bottomless coffin.Arthur carried another bag of money behind a hurried Jill, carrying another bag of money to put in her car. He laughed out loud, as if he had found a treasure that would never end."Without working, Lia and I can live rich for seven generations, mum. Lia is really clever. How could she think of stashing her money in a coffin in her dad's grave? Besides, why are you only finding out now, mum? If it was yesterday, we could have transported it last night, couldn't we?"Jill put the money bag in the car as she looked back. She shook her head softly and started thinking about it after breakfast."Someone contacted me using an anonymous call. Strangely, I heard Lia's voice. And she mentioned the tomb. So what's wrong? Of course, without waiting any longer, we have to secure it before th

"Lemme go, Frey! It's not what you imagined! Lemme go or you'll get even bigger charges! You won't even be able to work in the whole of the UK if you keep taking me to prison for now!"Arthur never stopped boasting about the speeding police car after his arrest. He glanced at Jill, who was still looking relaxed without trying to defend herself in front of Edward as he did."Say something, mum! We're innocent! The money disappeared out of the blue, didn't it? Tell them the truth so we don't get caught, mum! Or something will happen to me in the future and I swear you won't like it!"Jill glanced at Edward and Phil, who were sitting in the front cabin through the glass of the small cabin above. Then she looked away without saying a word.This, of course, made Arthur even more frustrated. His two tightly cuffed hands tried to touch Jill's hands behind his waist. Unfortunately, he could not reach."Please, tell them, mum! We didn't even do anything wrong other than s
