Regaining her voice after some seconds of eerie silence, Ma'am Luna asked, "What did you say? Who?"

Zinnia, too, seemed taken aback by Ma'am Luna's response, her eyes widening in response to the older woman's evident distress. Duncan's gaze shifted between the two, searching for answers in their expressions, but the gravity of the situation remained elusive.

Without uttering a word, Duncan observed the unspoken tension in the room, sensing that there was more to the story than he could comprehend. The air seemed heavy with unspoken secrets, leaving him eager to uncover the truth that lay hidden beneath the surface.

Ma'am Luna's voice trembled with a mix of frustration and intrigue as she asked the question that weighed heavily on her mind for clarification. "Was it the Walton Group of Companies that snatched the contract from us?" Her words hung in the air, laden with a sense of betrayal and longing for answers.

Zinnia, her expression solemn, nodded in affirmation. "Yes, G

    After a brief moment of intense silence, Zinnia inhaled deeply, saying, "Fine. I accept..." "But until when will she keep doing the house chores and cleaning, Mother?" Laila asked, obviously infuriated. "Isn't it enough already?" "It's until she has proven herself worthy again, sister-in-law," Bella said, tauntingly. Ma'am Luna eyed Bella and said, "Zinnia will keep doing the housework until I say it's over." "Alright, I will keep hanging," Zinnia muttered to herself, sneering. "What an obedient sweetheart you are, my wife," Duncan sarcastically said and chuckled when Laila and Zinnia shot him a bombastic side-eye. As they continued eating, Duncan felt bothered by Ma'am Luna's sudden decision. "Why has she ordered Zinnia to resume again? What's her secret reason for that?" Duncan silently thought. Some minutes later, Ma'am Luna arose and left the dining room. As she walked down the hallway, heading to her study room, she halted. Narrowing her eyes, Ma'am Luna muttered to

    Back in the office, Duncan felt the need to check up on his other mother. He picked up his private phone and dialed Jack's number. "Hello, young Master?" Jack answered respectfully. "Jack, how's my mom been doing?" Duncan inquired, his voice filled with concern. "Are you asking about your other mother, Mrs. Sarah?" Jack sought clarification, aware of the unique family dynamics. Duncan nodded, even though Jack couldn't see the gesture. "Hm," he affirmed, waiting for the update. Jack reassured him, his voice conveying a sense of comfort. "She's been doing well. As you ordered, I've got one of the best nurses and doctors in the hospital to keep an eye on her and take care of her. She's recovering well now." Duncan let out a sigh of relief, grateful for the attentive care that had been arranged for his mother. "Good," he responded, his tone reflecting a mix of gratitude and satisfaction. "Thanks for the update, Jack." With that, Duncan ended the call, feeling reassured about h

    Duncan and Karla stepped out of the hospital, seeking respite from the sun's intense rays. Duncan located a comfortable spot for them to sit under a canopy, positioned on a bench overlooking the front lawn."The sun is not good this morning," Duncan remarked, expressing his concern for the heat as they settled down. Karla nodded in agreement, a hint of discomfort evident on her face. "It's scorching." She sniffed, acknowledging the scorching weather. Duncan then took a moment to express his gratitude to Karla for her consistent visits to his mother. "Thank you so much for taking your time to visit my mother," he sincerely said, his appreciation apparent. Karla's response was filled with warmth. "It's nothing. We are friends, so we should have each other's back," she replied, emphasizing their bond and the importance of supporting one another. Duncan's brows furrowed in response, his gaze shifting to Karla, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "Really?" he questioned, seeking fur

    Tilting her head slightly, Abigail finally revealed the information she had been holding back. Her voice lowered as she spoke, adding an element of secrecy to her words."I' have got someone following Peterson Rogers," Abigail began. "Since he got out two days ago, he seems to be hiding. I've learned that he has some little debtors hunting for him. He has been exhibiting strange movements lately." Karla listened attentively, absorbing the details. Her expression remained focused, her mind already piecing together the puzzle. She leaned forward, her eyes narrowing in concentration."Do you perhaps know who got bailed out from the police station and suppressed the charges on him?" Karla asked, her voice tinged with a hint of frustration. Abigail drummed her fingers on the desk in a calculating manner, her face reflecting the weight of her answer. With a reluctant sigh, she replied, "No, unfortunately. I haven't been able to uncover that information." Karla let out a sigh of her

    Karla's eyes narrowed as she processed the information, her mind working quickly to decipher the location of "Night 101." In an instant, Abigail provided the missing context. "It is a bar, Karla," she clarified, her voice carrying a hint of impatience. Karla's initial confusion gave way to a feigned understanding. "Oh, I... I knew," she responded, her voice attempting to mask her momentary lapse. Abigail let out a dismissive scoff, clearly unimpressed by Karla's attempt at deception. "Pff and it's actually..." she began to say, seemingly ready to provide further details. But Karla, eager to take charge and begin executing her plan, swiftly cut Abigail off. "That information is enough for now. Bye," she stated abruptly, ending the call without giving Abigail a chance to say more. A smile tugged at the corners of Karla's lips as she tightened her grip on the steering wheel, a surge of anticipation coursing through her veins. "A perfect location to carry out my plan," she mutt

    The exchange with the lady hinted at the presence of a confident and playful character, introducing an additional layer of intrigue to the unfolding events. Sarah, unimpressed by the lady's response, rolled her eyes and continued on her way, leaving the encounter behind. The lady, on the other hand, couldn't help but smirk at Sarah's reaction, finding amusement in the situation. With a confident stride, she continued walking forward, seemingly unfazed by the brief exchange. Meanwhile, as Peterson glanced back, his attention was caught by the presence of the exotic lady. She exuded an air of allure, dressed in a glittering short gown that accentuated her figure. His eyes filled with a mix of desire and admiration as he took in her beautiful features. The sight of her walking gracefully and slowly, surveying her surroundings, captivated his attention. He found himself particularly drawn to her bare legs, appreciating their elegance. To Peterson's surprise, as the lady's gaze met

    Karla requested. "Keep driving until I say stop, please!" Her voice filled with a mix of urgency and exhaustion. She glanced at the side mirror, trying to catch her breath, her heart still racing from the adrenaline-fueled escape. Duncan cast her a surprised look, his eyes darting between the road and Karla. With focused determination, he continued navigating through the busy traffic, skillfully maneuvering the car to keep them moving forward. Unable to keep quiet any longer, Duncan couldn't help but ask, his voice tinged with concern and confusion, "What are you doing, Karla?" Karla took a moment to gather herself before responding, her voice slightly shaky. "I'm trying to catch my breath," she simply said, her words conveying both physical and emotional exhaustion. Duncan's brow furrowed as he glanced at her, an unpleasant expression crossing his face. The combination of his concern and the shock of the situation prompted him to probe further, wanting to understand the ev

    Karla was a young woman with a vibrant personality and a quick sense of humor. She had a contagious laugh that could brighten up any room. Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she chuckled, caught off guard once again by Duncan's unexpected compliment. It seemed to take her by surprise, but she couldn't help but find it amusing. "But that doesn't mean you're not a duckling," Duncan teased, a mischievous grin forming on his face. However, Karla didn't take the teasing in a good stride. She frowned, showing a hint of annoyance at his playful comment. It seemed like he had crossed a line, and she didn't appreciate it. Sensing her discontent, he decided to let go of her, realizing that he had pushed her buttons a bit too far. He shifted the topic, saying, "Anyway... You are welcome, Karla." Confused by his sudden change in tone, Karla questioned, "What?" "Don't bother to say thank you?" She shook her head, finding his behavior rather egotistical. "Geez, you're so full of yourself,"

    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
