Aren't you embarrassed?" Etta taunted."It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. When you commit a crime, you must be arrested!" said the security guard standing in front.The guard's face hardened as he glared at Etta, and his voice boomed through the room like thunder. Despite the tension growing thicker, Etta remained unfazed."Give up quickly! We won't hurt you!" said the man in the beige suit, softening his tone."Give up?" Etta laughed. "Even if I do, I won't let you guys touch me!"As Etta considered her options, a mysterious smile grew on her face. She was backed into a corner, but she was alwa

He then contacted the media crew to prove Stephen's threatening words."Soon, your career as a fashion designer will be destroyed because of a fraud case and sexual harassment!" the man in the beige suit smiled slyly.Etta stuttered in disbelief. Shouldn't she have framed Stephen by now so that she could leave at ease after receiving the fee?"You must be just trying to scare me!" snapped the red-haired woman."I am Roy Potter, manager of the Magnificent Hotel. I don't have time to joke around with a designer who is about to go bankrupt!" said Roy in a firm tone.Etta's next gaze fell on Stephen.

"Who do you think you are that the media should broadcast your news throughout the country?" Billy said sarcastically. "What the hell are you talking about?""Billy's right!" Aiden and Bryson chimed in, and then they all laughed."Trash like you won't be cared for by anyone. In fact, your death would have no impact on this country. So what's the point of reporting your scandal on TV or the internet?"

As soon as Stephen suggested going to the Magnificent Emarlad Hotel, all faces froze. "That's a great idea, Stephen! We'll finally find out whether you're telling the truth or just talking nonsense!" exclaimed Fiona with enthusiasm.Aiden, Bryson, Billy, and Megan looked at each other, silently communicating their thoughts. This decision was crucial for them. If Stephen was indeed a fraudster, this was an opportunity for them to open Fiona's eyes and convince her to divorce him."Okay, I agree!" said Aiden, while the rest of Fiona's siblings nodded in agreement, including Megan."Before we head to the hotel, I want to make an agreement," Stephen's eyes flickered to Aiden."What's that?" Aiden furrowed his eyebrows."If I'm proven innocent, I want to take Fiona away from this house.

Stephen grinned, "You have made a pact with me. Are you going to renege on it?" Aiden said angrily, "Why do we have to fulfill our agreement with you? For us, Fiona's safety is the most important thing! To hell with the agreement you made!"Fiona felt embarrassed by Roy Potter's brothers' childish attitude.

I can't imagine for a second that you have to live in lowly facilities and suffer!"As if the air had frozen, Roy Potter, who knew nothing about Stephen and Geoff's family matters, became tense as well.Roy said in amazement, "What the heck is going on?

As Fiona sat beside Bryson, she listened intently to Roy Potter's words. Suddenly, his statement hit her like a bolt of lightning. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. It was so unbelievable that if she hadn't heard it straight from the man's mouth, she would have thought it was a joke.In shock, Fiona quickly rose and confronted Roy, her voice trembling with disbelief. "Are you kidding me?" she asked incredulously.Roy, wearing a beige suit and a professional smile, looked back at Fiona calmly. He could sense her disbelief, but he knew he had to be serious.

While in the bathroom, Stephen filled a bathtub with warm water and then took a dip. For a moment he felt more alive when the warm water washes his body and scalp. His skin feels calm, then drives away the tiredness that has long been a waste in the chest."Thank god for tonight." Stephen thought happily. He leaned back looking at the bathroom ceiling. He couldn't help but smile at the memory of Bryson getting beaten up by the security guards. "Supposedly, he learned from this incident," continued Stephen.But, the thing that made Stephen happy the most was Fiona's willingness to stay with him.
