She walked further into the office, hoping to clasp the switch on, and as she did, she almost got the heart attack of her life with balloons popping at her face. “Surprise!!!” They all yelled out in unison while a few held a banner saying welcome back, some held bottles of wine, and with a wide smile, Hayley stepped out of the crowd, her hands occupied with a large cake. A stream of tears flowed down her cheek and Hayley tucked her into a warm embrace. “Welcome back to work Lisa, you have been through so much, but you will sail through, you always do because you are strong and determined”Hayley consoled but it did not stop the tears from trickling down her cheeks. “It is alright Lisa, remember what the doctor said, no stress, no being emotional”“I am sorry, I couldn't help it, I was scared that you all had abandoned me the way he did”“It alright dear, Harry did not abandon you, death stole him away from us, but you will be fine, come on go ahead and blow out the candles”“What!
Once Emily was outside the office, she received a call from Hayley. “Hayley now is not a good time to talk” She complained to the caller at the other end of the phone. “I am sorry about that, but you were right about Lisa, I think she needs a therapist”“Was there another breakdown at the office today?”“Yes, she received a car gift today and thought it was from Harry, so she ran outside screaming so loud”Emily sighed as she furrowed her brow. “I got a recommendation for a therapist, I am going to speak to him today and see when he can fix an appointment for Lisa”“How did it go at Bryn Empire, are they going to relinquish Harry's asset to Lisa?”“As I expected, his uncle blatantly refused so I went to court”“That would be risky considering how much power the man has”“I am fully aware of that, which is why I will be trying other measures first before I go to court”“Alrighty Aunt, I expect to hear from you soon”. The call ended and Emily ended the call and stride through the hall
Lisa followed his step inside the large space painted white while the floor was covered in shiny, gray linoleum. Williams and Lisa walked further inside the room filled with stainless steel tables and metal cabinets all of which were spotless, there was an awful smell of chemicals inside that Lisa felt like throwing up but held her breath consistently. At a metal straight table was a corpse covered with a white satin cloth and a technician stood beside the corpse, a large file on his hand. “Mr. Williams! Good to see you”“Thanks, doctor, what do we have today?”“Nothing much, except we have figured out the type of substance used in poisoning him”“it took you this long to find the kind of substances he was poisoned, then I must say that I am more than capable than you are because I figured that out a week ago”Lisa expressed with a mask covered around her nose. “Would you like me to step away so you can continue?”“I am sorry sir, This is Lisa, the deceased wife”“I am sorry about
Lisa drove off from the lab as soon as she was done conversing with Williams but arrived home to a lonely residence, she dialed her mother's number but it was out of reach, and without being told, she knew where she was going to be. She was so furious when she arrived at the Carrion mansion she had vowed never to step foot again, but Lisa needed to give these people a piece of her mind because it was long overdue. The large double door swung open, and as she pierced her furious gaze at the same people that claimed they were her family all she felt like doing was smacking them hard in the ass, but she knew that she was raised better. “What the hell is going on here!!” She yelled out. “Lisa dear, what are you doing here, you look so exhausted, come have a seat with me” Emily rushed over to her and tried to wipe off the sweat on her face, but she waved off her hand. “You want me to sit in a place like this filled with hypocrites”“Lisa what are you doing, grandma is here and I am su
Eric just concluded a meeting with his lawyers at the company where he was hoping to find the chances of obtaining an inheritance from Bryn Empire under Lisa's name. Although his lawyer assured him that they could acquire the inheritance considering that they were legally married when Harry died and Lisa was carrying his child, he understood how powerful Bryn Empire was and the ability to navigate whatever situation they wanted. Stroding out of the office was Charles waiting outside for him. “Charles! Is that you, it has been a while now”.“Yes I am aware which is why I decided to check up on you”“That sounds about nice, let head over to the cafeteria” Eric expressed with a tight-lipped smile because he knew that whatever brought Charles to his office this early wasn't going to be a good one. They both occupied a seat at the cafeteria mainly reserved for the CEO which he was although he barely visited there and only gets to relax at fancy and sophisticated hotels and restaurants.
Arriving at the Carrion Mansion, everywhere was in chaos with the cops searching through Lilly's room, there were a few of her old things that were already packed up in a box. Eric and Grandma Maria stepped in, she clutched her to her chest hoping not to get a heart attack from the state in which her home was left. “Eric! Finally, you are here! ” Sophia felt a glitter of relief seeing her husband walk through that door as she embraced him warmly. “What happened?”.“I don't know, they just banged in claiming to have some dumb warrant, they turned Lilly and Olivia's room upside down”.“Relax Sofy, I will go ahead and speak to them now”. Sophia released herself from his grip and hurried inside where two officers had a mask around their nose and gloves covering their hands while they carried out the boxes. “Officer goof day!” Eric greeted politely, but the officer nodded without saying a word to him. “This is my home, and I would like to know what is going on?”“We called earlier to i
Each time she tries to be calm and reason properly with these people, it never turns out well, She is filled with so much hatred for these people and all she wanted at the moment was to get rid of them. “You all! Get up and leave!” She pressed her lips together as she spoke, trying to contain the rage that was fueling inside of her. “What! Lisa have you gone out of your senses, you are asking Grandma to leave? ”“Mother can you just shut up even for a moment, you are the reason why these people have consistently abused us like we meant nothing to them, how can she look at me and ask me to give up my hard work to them, again and again, they have treated us like trash and you think that it is disrespectful for me to ask them to leave”“Lisa Calm down, I understand that the pregnancy hormones have taken a turn at you, but we can talk properly” Eric tries to calm her down, a tender gaze at her. Lisa exhaled loudly before she sat down again. “You do not have to merge if you do not, but
Charles fiddles with his fingers as he paces around the office trying not to look nervous, but there were already traces of sweat dripping from his forehead. “Relax, with the way that you are acting, you might as well go out there and declare yourself guilty”.Paulos who seemed so calm about the situation with his legs crossed exclaimed. “Why do you think they are here, do you think that perhaps they found something?”“We can't be certain until we go out there and find out what they want”“No! I do not think that is the best solution, if words get out about this, I might lose the contract, it is best that I flee now that it is early”“If you do that, then that would be you declaring yourself guilty with no evidence required. Go out, act normal, whatever evidence they think they have on you, deny it until your lawyer gets there,” Paulos advised. Charles was silent for a moment before he nodded his head adjusted the collar of his shirt, and strode out of the office.At the large hall w
