Alistair arrived and saw his wife. He hurriedly walked towards her and hugged her. With that, she started crying again.

"I am sorry I am late." he whispered.

Gina just closed her eyes and bring out every tear she has to bring out. She was lucky that she never gave the money to them, which they might have taken away.

"I am sorry. I didn't know they were just pretending. I should have seen and noticed it." she softly said.

Alistair just caressed her back and stopped her from crying.

"No, it's not your fault. It was good that you finally saw the truth. Come on, let's go somewhere else." he said.

Gina nodded and he wiped her tears. Alistair was so mad that he wanted to sue them all for doing that to her, but Gina just told him not to do anything, and their own karma will come and haunt them. Gina fell asleep because she was tired of crying. Alistair took her to a place where he usually stand by every time he needs to feel alone.

"This place never changed." he smiled.

Alistair said.Arthur couldn't get his answer but he just scoffed."Come on, son. You have to talk about this fact with her.

Good thing a car stopped and helped them fix their car, but Gina couldn't stop thinking where and is Alistair busy right now. "Thank you for the treat, Alistair." Beth smiled at him as she parted ways and headed to her desk.Alistair just nodded and smiled at her and headed straight to the elevator. While he was looking for his phone inside his pockets, he started to feel nervous and worried that he couldn't find it."Damn it, where's my phone?" he groaned.Not until he arrived inside his office, he saw his phone on his table.

    "Plans?" Alis asked. Gina and Olga looked at him. They thought he already left, but he was still there standing. "Honey, about the shelter. Gina and I just want to renovate the place, because it seems like the place is already old and there are many cracks. We just think that they might be in danger if an earthquake comes." Olga worriedly said. Alistair looked at his mom and wife with an amazed facial reaction. He never thought they are going to start a project after visiting the shelter. "Wow, that's glad to know. I thought you just went there to visit. I didn't know you also have plans about renovating the place." he chuckled. Olga just scoffed and chuckled as well. "Well, it wasn't my idea as well. It was your wife." Olga said. Alistair went stunned and looked at his wife. Gina just shyly smiled at him. "When did you have interest in these things, Gina?" he asked her. Gina just smiled and shrugged her shoulder. "Well, I just want to help them that's all," she said. Alista

    Gina just can't help but get uneasy with his questions. She never thought he still remembers Drake after how many years. "Okay, what time is he going to come?" he asked. Gina shrugged her shoulder. "I asked him to come by nine in the morning." she said. Alistair just nodded. "Okay, can I hear about your meeting?" he asked. Gina looked at him very surprised. "You have work." she said. Alis shakes his head. "I am the boss, so I can be absent or go to work whenever I want to." he said. Gina just chuckled a bit and took a very deep breath. This is the first time he acted like that. "Okay, if that is what you like. You can have a meeting with us then." she said. Gina just shakes her head looking at him. Alis just looked at her curiously. "What's funny?" he asked. "Nothing. By the way, you should call back Beth before she gets mad." she smirked and walked out.

    "Are you sure, grandpa?" he asked him. Samuel just nodded and pats his shoulder. "I am just so happy that you are here with me finally." he said. Alistair just chuckled, because he doesn't want to cry again. "By the way, how's Gina with her family?" he asked. "Don't expect more from her family, grandpa. They just want our money just because they know that I am your grandson." he sighed. Alistair can't help but smile bitterly. "I just hope one day our families are in one pack. I just can't help feeling bad and sad for Georgina. Her family should be taking care of her while she's alive and strong." Samuel said. Alistair just agreed with his grandpa, but knowing their attitude already... he knows how selfish they all are. "I don't think that will happen to us, grandpa. I know them. They will be kind and nice to you if they need something." he sighed. On the other hand, Gina's family can't move on what happened to them. "I felt bad for her. She is so kind, opposite of her famil

    "Are you feeling okay already? Alis told me about everything." Olga went to check up on Gina. Gina just took a very deep breath and sighed. "I don't know what to do, mom. My own family? How could they do this to me? They were lying to me just for money. I can't believe they can do it." she sighed groaning. Olga just took a deep breath and caressed her back. "Don't worry, Gina. They will learn their lesson and will realize what they did was wrong. The time will come and they will apologize to you. I know it." she smiled. Gina just smiled at her and nodded. "Miss Gina, your brother is here to see you." the maid said. Gina and Olga were both surprised. "George? what is he doing here?" she asked surprised. Olga just shrugged her shoulder and both of them went to see him. George looked very messed up and very mad. "George, what are you doing here?" she asked him. George took a deep breath and scoffed. "Really? You are asking that right now? You already know what I am doing here.

    "Come on, uncle. I don't want to believe you anymore." Gina scoffed and wanted to end the call.The last time she checked, they made her like a fool. They planned that her parents got into an accident, but it was a good thing she learned the truth before she handed the money."No, I am not joking! This is not a joke anymore, Gina. I know you think we are joking right now, but I wish it was all a joke. Please, Georgina, we need you here right now." Gina felt something weird.She could feel that her uncle wasn't lying. She could feel his sincerity, but she really couldn't do anything or say anything. Alistair stared at her curiously and waited for her to say something to him. All they do was exchange glances."Gina? Please, you have to come right now. Your brother needs you right now." Rio said and ended the call.Georgina was shocked that Rio even ended the call."What happened? What did he say?" Alistair asked her.Georgina just closed her eyes and couldn't say anything. She admits th

He was hiding or protecting that guy." she said.George just nodded. Leo interrupted them."Honey, you are home." Charlotte kissed his cheek."Yeah, what are you guys talking about? Looks like it was very deep." he chuckled a bit.Charlotte just explained it to him. Leo was surprised like them too."By th

Did Rio lend you some money?" she asked him.George shook his head making her sigh very sad."I went to Gina and asked for money, but she wanted me to tell her the reason why I needed money. I couldn't tell her. I just couldn't. I don't want her to get mad at me and judge me. If she finds out I had been working with Lincoln, she is going to hate me and I know she will not help me." he said closing his eyes.Meredith doesn't know what to do already. She felt very weak upon hearing that already."So, where do we ask for help?" she groaned."I don't know. I will find a way and find someone who can lend me money. I will fix this. She was right. I should have coordinated with that asshole in the first place. I knew he just planned this all along. He tricked me saying I can do whatever I want with the money, but in the end, he was going to take it back." he closed his eyes.Meredi

    "It's nothing, honey. Go to your work already before you will get late." Meredith said. Charlotte just nodded, but she knew they were hiding something from her. She just left but quickly called Gina's number to tell her about it. "What? And why were they talking about granny's money? I don't think they need money for something." Gina said. "That is what I am not sure, sissy. I think we need to find out the reason why they were talking about her money. Dad and mom, they looked so scared and nervous a while ago. I think something was wrong." Charlotte said. Gina doesn't know what to do or say. Alis already told her to stop worrying and thinking about things because her belly is getting bigger. The doctor also told her to avoid stress and anything. "Charlotte, just watch over mom and dad, especially dad. If he acts strangely, we need to find about it." she said. Charlotte promised her sister to do it. "What? Does her dad want to cut his ties with us? That's absurd! What about the

Lincoln asked him again.George just took a deep breath and sighed."No, thank you. I am here to tell you something, and I hope you are not going to get mad." he said clearing his throat.Lincoln looked at him curiously."Sure, what's it?" he asked him.George looked around. He seemed nervous watching Lincoln's bodyguards standing at the corners. Lincoln couldn't help but chuckle. He signed his guards to go out first because he sensed that George was very nervous because of them."You weren't this nervous before, why? what happened?" he asked him again."I came here to tell you that I need to stop working with you." he mumbled.Lincoln already knew he was going to say that which made him scoff a bit and sigh."Let me guess, they told you to stop it, right?" he asked him.He closed his eyes."Yea-h, I don't want to lose my family.

"It's done. They will not continue to negotiate with him. You don't have to worry about it anymore, Tasha." James said. Tasha just thanked him and smiled. "Dad, don't you think we couldn't notice? You are so close to that guy! You don't even know what kind of guy he is!" Charlotte said to her dad. She just couldn't take it anymore, because he even invited Lincoln to their mansion, and Gina was very mad about it. "Charlotte, I know you are just worried about me, but I can handle myself." George said. "Honey, why don't you just hear your children? Gina said to you already that he's dangerous. What if he is going to hurt you or what?" she groaned.

Lincoln smirked.Amanda just chuckled too. Lincoln told her how Gina and the others are very nervous about him getting attached to George Sr."But I think you are just going to use her dad, right?" she asked him smirking.Lincoln just scoffed and took a very deep breath."Well, you were right. If I am already done with him, I am going to kill him." he smirked.Amanda just closed her eyes and sighed."Are you sure they are not going to suspect you in the first place, hmm? You always knew how they hated you and they knew you and him are so close together." she said.Lincoln just scoffed and shrugged his shoulder with what she said."That is easy to cover up. I have a lot of men to cover it for me, you know." he mumbled.Amanda just nodded at what he said and sighed.On the other hand, Tasha and James couldn't stop talking about

"Where are you going?" Samuel interfere. Gina and Alis both gasped. "You are going to talk to George about Lincoln? Nah, I don't think he will listen to you as well." Samuel said. Gina just groaned. "Grandpa, can you go and try talking to him? I don't want him to see Lincoln and talk to him. That guy is a danger." she sighed. "Well, if you already talked to him and haven't yet agreed to stop seeing Lincoln, well, I must say he really doesn't want to stop himself to." Samuel said. Gina and Alis just decided not to say anything then after what Grandpa Sam said. "What happened?" Tasha asked her. "Grandpa was right. We can't force dad to stop seeing that guy." she closed her eyes. Tasha felt very terrible about it. "I am really sorry, Gina. It was really my fault. I don't know how to face you guys an
