Kelvin was sitting in the garden inside his Vancouzer mansion when one of his security guards approached him. He was deep in thought on Mark's words.

He needed to make a quick move, but he was in the dark. Several times he thought about confronting his parents or Uncle Theo. But given that they just got their Granny back, he thought it wasn't the best time to take such news home.

"Gallagher?" He asked in surprise, and the security replied, "Yes boss."

He glanced at his side clock, past 8 already. He jumped off the bed, today was the day when he got to represent his Uncle at the Silverwood Associates.

He roared, and she flinched. She swallowed hard and pouted slowly."Uhm… there is a problem," she said. Sitting on his sofa inside his sitting room, he raised his brow, showing his concern for what she had to say. " Spit it out,” he commanded, and she swallowed.Fear engulfed her, thinking about what he would do when she told him the situation."It's Gregory. It happened just like you said.
