Abigail thought she heard Duncan wrong so she decided to ask him again.

"Are you for real?

"Yes, give it out. The money I wiped out of the Lennart's company account, you wanted to give it out?"

"Exactly. You heard it, right?"

"You mean…the whole money?"

"Yes, Abigail. I would like them to be given out to people in need of it. I'm sure there are so many helpless people out there that the money would change their lives. Please help me to distribute it to helpless kids, widows, bums in the streets, and orphanage homes too. Okay?"

"Duncan, we are talking about 50 million dollars here, you really want to just give them all out."

"Yes. What did you think?"

"Well, I thought you'd use it."

"Not to brag but it's of no use to me. People who need it should have it. I didn't have you take that money from the account because I wanted to use it, It was because I wanted to teach Marcus a lesson. I'm so excited now."

"Hm, about Peterson Rogers?"

"You know him?"

"Yeah. Can we…meet?"

"Umm." Duncan gav

    Karla nodded and answered."Yes, I am m fine." She forced a smile."So, I asked about your family.""I…only have my Dad.""Okay, and…""Please." She held up her hand, shaking her head. "Let's just not talk about my family.""Okay.""So, what about yours? I mean, you returned to your in-laws' house and…""Wait, why are you so invested?"She rolled her eyes at him. "It's because I'm your partner.""Not legally, unlike Abigail.""Can you forget about that sly woman?""What? She's good and…""Okay, stop." Karla pulled a frown."Alright. Well, I've gotten my wife's lover sacked from my company.""What?""Yeah, I'm talking about my progress now.""Yeah, I know, but…I don't understand.""The news going around about Peterson Rogers, don't you know about it?""Oh, yes. Now I remember, he's the guy Zinnia was making out with in front of that club?""Exactly. He was the COO of one of Walton Group's under-companies, Vast Group Company.""Woah, you guys own that company too, great. I saw the video

    Duncan was heading to the room when Lisa rushed out of her room and pulled him in. "What's wrong with you?" Duncan groaned as she closed the door behind him. "Hello, Duncan. You just got home, I see. I didn't see you earlier at the dining table." "It's none of your business. What is it?" "Hm, nothing." "Then why pull me in?" "Come on, stop acting stupid." Duncan hissed and walked to the door. He opened it to leave but Lisa held his hand, stopping him from leaving. "Duncan, I heard your mother isn't doing well. You know you insulted me upon your return and I promised to make you pay. But, I pitied you. And I would like to give you another chance." "Really?" Duncan chuckled, turning to face her with folded arms. "Yes. You know, Zinnia doesn't need you in her life. She had crossed all the limits of marriage and she literally disrespects you by asking Peterson for help. She feels you're useless, so why don't you divorce her? Though you're useless, I'll value you if you divorce he

    John was shocked by what Duncan said but he laughed it off. He thought Duncan was beginning to lose his senses, so he decided to remind him of the night they last spoke. "Duncan, I know you might be traumatized by what Zinnia did to you on the night of your birthday, it's expected, but don't let it get over you." Duncan waved and dipped his hand into his pocket. John stared at him wondering what he was trying to get from his pocket, until Duncan took out five notes of a thousand bucks. Seeing such an amount, John rolled his eyes in surprise and his jaw fell when Duncan took his hand and placed the money on it. "Duncan, this is…?" "I remember borrowing some hundred dollars from you some days before my birthday. You gave me, not knowing whether I'll return the money because I had some debts to pay and my salary was little to cover it all. I had borrowed that money to complete my money to buy my wife a present." "Yes, I remember. It was only five hundred dollars, but what are you g

    Duncan opened his mouth to talk but Abigail quickly shunned him."I know you're not the one. You're far from being him.""Don't debase him. Duncan has a big heart and It would be great if he was him because I know he would have done a lot for others, but for people like you, it's a no-no.""Excuse me, John. Don't say anything. I know what I'm saying. Do you even know a thing about the famous unknown zillionaire heir?""I know you wouldn't mind telling me to rub it in my face." "Well, I'll gladly do. You know there's a video of him trending for days now. Check this." Abigail brought out her phone and played a video for John to watch.Duncan tried to remain composed as he watched shock wash over John while he watched the video."Oh, boy, look at all the men bowing to him. This guy must be amazing. But, his face is not shown. Who is he?""I don't know." Abigail snatched her phone from him and eyed Duncan. "Rumors have it that he's the son of the famous Lady Zelda. No one knows him and n

    Duncan walked to the front of the desk, pondering. Then he asked."How's that possible? What do you mean his presentation was offensive, Babette?""I had Xia go there to stunt his presentation but at the end of it, she got to know that Peterson Rogers' presentation was rejected," Abigail explained."Instead of presenting something in connection with the project the dealers brought, he made a presentation of himself flirting with some girls at a karaoke," Karla added."Exactly. Peterson was surprised. I guess someone tampered with his presentation. He denied having any intention to present such a thing and claimed someone messed with his presentation. He wasn't given a chance to defend himself and he was kicked out of the venue," Babette stated."You know who was behind this, Duncan?" Abigail asked.Duncan slowly shook his head. "I have no idea.""So, I guess it's one of your well-wishers. Duncan," Karla said, managing to smile despite still burning inside with anger for Abigail.Dunca

    "You're a fool, Zinnia. A big FOOL." Those words had stung Zinnia's heart so deeply and she felt like the ground should open and swallow her. The stinging sensation lingering where her grandmother's slap had landed, made tears almost swell in her eyes, but she clenched her hands, fighting back her tears. The room suddenly felt suffocatingly large, each pair of eyes fixed upon her, magnifying her humiliation. The disappointment etched across her grandmother's face cut deep, a painful reminder of her transgression. As Zinnia glanced around, she could see the shock reflected in the eyes of her family members. They stared at her, their expressions were a mix of disbelief and discomfort, witnessing the unexpected that happened. It was a huge shock because Ma'am Luna had never raised her hands to slap Zinnia before. But what infuriated her, even more, were the subtle smirks on the faces of Marcus, Lisa, and Aaron. Their silent laughter at her expense only fueled her frustration. She felt

    The next morning, Duncan made breakfast with a pleasant smile that got everyone who caught a glimpse of him marveled. They wondered whether he had won a lottery ticket. Laila, after seeing Duncan set the dining table with a big smile on his face, wondered if Zinnia had given him a chance to take advantage of her last night because she was feeling angry. She rushed to Zinnia's room and after knocking three times, Zinnia opened the door, surfacing with a smile on her face. "Zinnia, you look happy," Laila observed as she walked into the room. Zinnia locked the door behind and inhaled the dress morning air that came in through the windows of the room she had opened a while ago. "Zinnia?" "What is it, Mother? Isn't the morning air so nice in your room?" "What?" "Are the windows of your room open?" "Well…whatever! You have not even greeted me, Zinnia." Laila frowned, rolling her eyes. "Oh. My bad." Zinnia chuckled and pulled her mother into a hug. "You smell so nice this morning. Did

    After breakfast, Zinnia approached Lisa and asked, "How are you going to prepare the presentation In 3 hours?""Hm, my dear cousin-sister, does that bother you?" Lisa asked in a sarcastic manner, making Zinnia roll her eyes as she hung her bag on her shoulder."I'm the least bothered one, you know. Now, tell me how you're going to go about preparing a top-notch presentation within just 3 hours?""It's none of your business. I know you want me to tell you so you can get some great ideas to come up with your own presentation. Come to think of it, is this what you and Marcus do?""Excuse me…?""I mean, you all are just irresponsible. You don't want to do anything with your brains but you want to take unmerited credits.""I beg your pardon, don't you dare say that about me or I will-""You'll do nothing because you're capable of nothing and that's why you used your body to get what you want instead of your brain, or wasn't that why you started an extramarital affair with Peterson Rogers?"

She was set to leave after being unable to detach herself from Duncan for the last weeks.Linda and Xia bid her goodbye, expressing their good wishes."Take care, Miss Abigail. We appreciate everything you've done,” Linda said, emotionally.Xia added, "Safe travels. We'll miss you."

    The following morning, the Lennart family received the news that Gregg and Rhino would soon face trial. Ma'am Luna fretted about the implications, and Laila suggested a drastic measure."Mother, considering the situation, maybe we should leave the country. It might be the safest option for us and Zinnia."Ma'am Luna, pondering the idea, said, "Leaving the country might indeed be the best way to ensure Zinnia isn't exposed for Duncan's death. After all, his corpse hasn't been found."Meanwhile, Zinnia overheard their conversation and entered the room."Leave the country? Why? What's happening?"Laila, trying to calm her, explained, "Zinnia, dear, it's just a precaution. With Gregg and Rhino facing trial, it's better for us to avoid any unnecessary attention."Zinnia was skeptical. But what about Duncan?" Ma'am Luna, feigning concern: "Sweetheart, we're doing this for your safety. If we stay, people might start questioning Duncan's disappearance."Zinnia reluctantly agreed."Fine, bu

    Abigail observed Duncan and Karla getting into Karla's car before driving off. A single tear slipped down her cheek, quickly wiped away as she elegantly adjusted her knee-length gown. Xia appeared behind her with her P.A., stating, “You shouldn't have held back and listened to the nonsense Karla spewed.”Abigail chuckled. “It's okay.”“Maybe it's time to wrap this up,” Abigail declared. “I will go alone.” She slung her bag over her shoulder and left.“She's so strong,” Linda remarked as they watched Abigail drive away.“You're right,” Xia concurred. “She's also a great person. Right?”Xia dropped her gaze to Linda, nodding in agreement. Meanwhile, Karla kept a watchful eye on Duncan as he drove, his demeanor almost reckless. She hesitated to stop him, not wanting to ruin his mood. However, as Duncan nearly lost control, endangering their lives, she forced him to pull over.“I am sorry,” Duncan apologized after stopping. It dawned on him that he should have been more careful, realiz

    Duncan was surprised at what he heard and his expression turned stoic. “Duncan, I only learned about that tonight when I heard her and Karla talking about executing the plan.”Duncan looked away slowly, unable to believe his ears.Karla came closer and said, reluctantly, “Also, Abigail is Rhino's niece. I knew about it.”Duncan's gaze shifted to her in astonishment. “You learned about it today?”Karla shook her head. “It was during the last party.” Duncan's jaw dropped. “I'm sorry.”“You kept it from me for days?!”“I'm sorry, Duncan, I didn't intend to do that.”“Crap! How can you tell me that? Abigail is related to my father's killer and you kept such important information from me. Why?!”Karla sighed, remorse evident in her eyes. "Duncan, I didn't want to burden you with more pain. I was torn between revealing the truth and protecting you from the harsh reality. I thought it would be better to let you know at the right time."Duncan groaned, frustration and betrayal etched on hi

    “Duncan!” Karla yelled, taking a step, but a smile on his face eased her worries. Gregg's men, stationed to take Duncan down, surfaced, awed by Duncan's calmness. Karla, surprised, rushed to him, checking his entire body in panic. “Duncan, are you okay?” Duncan nodded, taking off his suit jacket. Unbuttoning his sleeves, he revealed a bulletproof vest. Karla gasped and sighed. “You're wearing a bulletproof?” Duncan nodded, and she laughed softly before pulling him into a hug, panting. Amidst the chaos, Duncan embraced Karla. "I had to take precautions. I couldn't risk anything happening at this critical moment." Karla, relieved, whispered, "I was terrified. It looked so real." Duncan kissed her forehead. "I needed it to be convincing. Now, let's let them think they succeeded." Zinnia and Ma'am Luna, still amid the chaos, discreetly slipped away, realizing the plan had taken an unexpected turn. Lady Zelda, shocked, approached Duncan and Karla. "Duncan, are you alright?"

    Ma'am Luna, losing her patience tightened her grip on Zinnia, urging her. “Answer me!” Unsure of how to respond, Zinnia hesitated before finally deciding to play along.“I didn't do anything, grandmother. Duncan just disappeared on his own, and I don't know where he is.” Zinnia maintained a facade of innocence, concealing the dark truth lurking beneath the surface. Ma'am Luna let go of Zinnia and she excused herself to use the bathroom. Confirming ma'am Luna wasn't watching her as she walked away, Zinnia signaled to Gregg who was standing some meters away from her, and headed out. Gregg followed her. He walked up to her as she paced back and forth outside.When he tapped her, she spun, startled and almond screamed.“Dear, relax. What's wrong?” Gregg asked.“Ma’am Luna, I mean my grandmother seems to be suspecting me. She just asked me about Duncan earlier.”Gregg frowned, concern etching his face. "What did you tell her?"Zinnia took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "I

    After a brief silence, Karla pointed at Abigail, who strangely did nothing but stare at her in astonishment. “If you ever wish ill for Duncan again, then I won't think twice before giving you a dirty slap to get you thinking straight.”Abigail smirked and chuckled before rubbing her stinging cheek, which had turned red.“You know what, Karla? You're unbelievable. I had thought for once that you're different from those selfish women out there. I had empathy for you when you opened up to me, and that's why, to date, I have not told Duncan about your relationship with Rhino. You have turned against him and stabbed him in the back. Why? Because he rejected you?! You're so pathetic.”Abigail shrugged and straightened up, managing to smile. She simply said, “Enjoy the party, and… my regards to Duncan.” With that, she entered her car. Karla watched her drive off, engulfed in bitterness, then returned inside.Abigail pulled by the side of the main road later and called Xia.“You're at the pa
