It’s already past 10 a.m, and both of them are still at home. It was Atkinson who prevented Lucas from leaving, not wanting to let Lucas humiliate himself any further in front of the media.Atkinson takes a peek behind the window curtain. He wants to wait for those local reporters to leave before getting out of his house. It’s almost two hours now, but he still finds them on the side of the road.When he feels like one of those reporters notices him, he immediately gets away from the window. His phone suddenly rings, and he finds someone from the office calling him. But he just ignores the call, and can only rub his hair with a tired face.“Come on, Dad! You know who they are and how they do their work. Let’s just ignore them and leave,” says Lucas.“No! You stay here!” says Atkinson as he grabs his car keys. “Dorothy, don’t let him get out of the house for today.”Before leaving, Atkinson turns back, and his attention is immediately averted to Lucas’ BMW keys on the dining table. He
Ellis is worried that his friend would visit that pizza shop. But of course, Lewis Maxwell is not that naive as a journalist. He just heads to the cake shop and orders some cakes, and then takes them with him back to the car.But he doesn’t offer it to Ellis. He just puts them on the dashboard and eats the cake himself. It would be too odd if he stays there for too long without doing nothing.“Man, I thought you were going to visit that pizza shop,” says Ellis as he tries to pick the bagel.Lewis Maxwell hits his hand, and immediately moves his cakes away from him. He stares at him coldly, looking so reluctant to share the cakes with him.Ellis White is much richer than him and has a better career. But he knows that Ellis is such a stingy person, that’s why he looks so reluctant to share anything with him.“You turd! You are the one who took me here. You should be the one who treats me,” says Lewis.“But you are much older than me. It’s just a norm for a senior to treat a youngster li
Lewis shows a bit of a confused face. But he keeps acting normal and approaches Gambino who is now standing behind the cashier desk. He just orders a drink and then has a seat at one empty table.Benigno is not paying that much concern to that journalist coming. He just tells one of the girls to prepare the customer's order before averting his attention back to Atkinson and Victor.Atkinson is still waiting for Victor to accept his apology. But it seems like Victor has his own idea regarding that issue, and is reluctant to accept an apology from that old man.“Please understand, Mr. Atkinson. Your son is already an adult. You shouldn’t be blamed for what your son did, and your son shouldn’t be blamed for what you did either,” says Victor plainly.Atkinson lifts his face with a bit of confusion. But Victor just invites him to also have a seat in front of him, right beside Chappy who is now also enjoying his pasta.“I believe you’ve come all the way only to see me. Why don’t you join us
It is something he has feared from the beginning. And now it happens to him while he has to leave that shop without getting what he expected. He heads back to his car with an annoyed face. But then, he becomes even more annoyed as he finds Ellis is no longer there in his car. Even his cakes have also gone. “That son of bitch!” he grumbles. In fact, it’s not only him who has been watching over Victor. At the moment, his activities in tailing Victor have caught Mike’s attention, who has been watching over Victor since Victor left his office. Right after that journalist leaves that place with his car, Mike also starts his Cadillac and then follows that man from behind. After he follows Lewis for quite a while, stopping here and there for a few times, he then calls Vincenzo asking for a replacement in watching over Victor. [Is he a member of gangsters?] “I’m not so sure. I may take a while following this man, maybe until midnight. It seems like he is such a busy one,” says Mike. Me
Lucas immediately ends that call, and drops the phone on his bed. He then sits by closing his face with both hands and starts rubbing it. He realizes that his issue with Victor is not just a little quarrel. It’s clear that Victor has shown that he knows about Lucas’ sinister activities in the lab. And this is the only reason why Lucas can’t just ignore Victor this far. But Emma is different. She has left, has been out of his life, and there’s no way she is going to meddle into his business anymore. He can’t just accept the idea of harming Emma only to lure Victor out of Indiana. But then... “Hold on!” He opens his face, realizing something unusual from his conversation with Elijah. He finds it weird why Elijah seems so much insistent in killing Victor, like he has his own motive. “Why?” he mumbles curiously. And indeed, at the moment, Victor’s situation looks almost untouchable. Even Victor himself doesn’t realize how safe he is now. He has the trustworthy watchers who keep wat
Those orphans are of course no longer kids. And they are no longer living there at the moment. Most of them have been adopted by their foster parents. A few of them, just like Victor, stayed until they became adults without no one adopting them. The wife takes out a metal ruler out of her bag, and then cuts the page with the help of that rule. Not only the document of orphans who were born in 1999/2000, but she also takes the document of the other orphans who were born in 2000/2001, 2001/2002, and 2002/2003. She folds them, and then puts them into her bag, while the husband keeps looking around his surroundings with so much alertness. After finishing with that, they close that document and then move to another document. They start acting normal again, like they are really trying to find a kid they want to adopt. A few moments later, Mira arrives and asks them if they have found the kid they like. But again, those two only show a confused face. “What is it?” asks Mira. “Can we have
It’s effective in shutting those reporters down. And so, Mira turns away leaving them. But they only give Mira a few seconds of peace before they rush to her again. Those reporters keep swarming Mira, who is now heading to the lobby of the William Enterprise office building. That massive building is Charles William’s main office. There are so many of Charles’ employees in that lobby. But the reporters swarm Mira, because they know she is the current chief of the Children of the Sun Orphanage. “Please, keep them away!” says Mira to the security guards. A few of them nod, and they immediately do as Mira asked. Meanwhile, one of them follows Mira from behind. “Is Charles here?” she asks. “Yes, he has been here since yesterday,” replies the guard. Mira stops for a moment, and turns to that security guard. But she doesn’t say a word, only showing her curious face with some deep thoughts. She suspects Charles William might have already taken that matter seriously even before she comes
Suddenly, someone knocks on the door again, distracting their conversation. It’s just Mira, who is forgetting to give something else to Charles.She comes to Charles in a hurry while taking out a device from her bag. “I forgot to give you this. This is the recorded video of the CCTV in my office. Please have a look at that married couple.”She only gives that device, and then takes her leave. Those three look so curious. Charles plugs the device to his smart tablet and observes the recorded video. There he finds the married couple along with their driver. And of course, Charles’s attention is always focused on the old driver.“Look at that! How confident he is looking at the camera,” says Thompson.Charles zooms in the video, to get a better look at that old man. He even focuses on the old man’s left eye, and notices the scar that is so familiar to him.“It’s really him. I believe he is not this old. He should be around 50 now. And his skin is not this dark,” says Charles.“He faked h
