Mark lounged on the couch in the living room, feeling content and relaxed. He watched as Madam Charlotte strode towards the door, her heels clicking against the marble floor. She turned back to him, a smile on her lips.

"I'll be back soon, Mark," she said, before disappearing through the doorway.

Mark smiled to himself and forced himself to stand up from the couch. He knew he couldn't waste this opportunity. Madam Charlotte had left her phone on the table in the middle of their room, and Mark knew he had to get his hands on it. He rushed over to the table, trying to look nonchalant as he did so.

He quickly scrolled up Madam Charlotte's call logs, searching for one particular number: Alexander Cromwell. He had heard Madam Charlotte mention his name before and was curious to know who he was and what he meant to her. Finally, he found the number and copied it to his phone.

Mark rushed back to the couch and tried to act casual, as if he had done nothing out of the ordinary. He knew he need

    "Relax, Mark. I was just kidding. I know Madam Charlotte wouldn't send someone else to set up a meeting for her," Cromwell said, still chuckling.Mark let out a relieved sigh. "Oh, okay.

    Madam Charlotte barged into Mark's room with a fiery intensity that could wake the dead. Her voice, fueled by a mix of concern and anger, echoed through the room as she confronted him: "Who told you to have a fake call with Dave?"Mark, startled by the sudden intrusion and the accusatory tone, rubbed his eyes and sat up on his bed.

"Oh, I should allow you to do whatever you want, right?"Mark took a deep breath, momentarily taken aback by the intensity of his aunt's reaction. He knew that his plans might not align with her expectations, but he was determined to assert his independence."Have you forgotten that you're in my house and you're under my roof?" Madam Charlotte's voice dripped with authority."Aunty, I just wanted to join
