How did the meeting go?” she asked, trying to get to the bottom of what had put such a dark cloud over her mother's mood.

You’re just a desperate fool grasping at straws.”The policemen took a step back, their hands raised in a placating gesture. “Calm down, sir,” one of them said, his voice strained and uncertain. “We mean no harm.” They exchanged nervous glances with each other, aware of the volatile situation they found themselves in.

With the approach of Helen and her mother, Tony rose to his feet, his posture commanding. Yet, the moment Mrs. Lugard extended her hand in congratulations, Tony's expression hardened, a coldness radiating from him as he spoke. "There's no need to put on a facade. I know you hate that I am so successful now," he said, his voice frigid, refusing to acknowledge her gesture of goodwill. With that, he turned on his heel and strode out of the boardroom without a backward glance, leaving both Helen and her mother feeling ashamed."Tony.... "Helen called but the didn't bother to answer her as he made his way to the door.
