Cartago is the most elegant and distinguished restaurant in the entire city where Curtis lived. It was Joseph's favorite place to dine, and one could only attend there by helicopter."Are you nervous?" Lucius shouted as the helicopter descended atop that beautiful building.Curtis clung to the helicopter's safety bar, fear evident on his face. He was terrified."I just want to get down," Curtis said.The helicopter's door opened, and restaurant staff courteously helped Curtis descend.Lucius Garner began to walk towards the interior of the restaurant without saying a word, and Curtis had to hurry to catch up with him.Entering that place was like visiting a palace from another world. It was sublime, something Curtis had never seen before in his life. It was easy to understand why it was Joseph Stanton's favorite place.Curtis was shocked when he saw a giant portrait of Joseph right in the center of the restaurant."Amazing, isn't it?" Lucius asked, also admiring the artwork.After tha
The sound of the doorbell echoed through the quiet mansion, disrupting the afternoon tranquility. An employee, in the house's impeccable uniform, hurried to open the front door. On the other side, a weary-looking delivery person held several boxes."Good afternoon, may I assist you?" the employee asked politely.The delivery person nodded, handing over the package with a tired smile."I have a delivery for Mrs. Beth Aldress," he said, as the employee took the packages with curiosity. "They're the uniforms she ordered for all the staff," the delivery person explained before bidding farewell and quickly departing.The employee closed the door behind him and hurried to bring the package to Beth, knowing that his employer would be eager to inspect the new uniforms for her staff.Under the warm afternoon sun, Beth and Baxter relaxed by the mansion's pool, enjoying the quiet murmur of the water.As the sun kissed their skin, Beth turned to Baxter with an inquisitive look in her eyes."Baxte
Beth had taken a bath to relax her body after that stressful day where she was forced to deal with those starving dead men who made up her service staff. Now she was relaxing to wait to be sexually devoured by Baxter as he had instructed. An elegant robe was all that covered her body, and at the same time she moisturized her legs with an expensive French skin cream while Alfred stood there firmly in the corner of the room. The door behind her back opened abruptly and a loud bang made her scream from the shock of the sudden deafening sound. It was Baxter entering with a bottle of champagne in his hands and uncorked it just as he entered. The steaming bottle let out all that exquisite bubbly drink to fall to the floor as Baxter stretched out his arms in victory. "Have you lost your mind?" asked Beth after lowering her arms slowly past the great scare Baxter had given her. "Guess who called me? come on...guess...," Baxter was happy and you could easily tell by his huge grin. Baxte
"You don't have a brain? Everything you wrote in that report is wrong!Baxter closed his eyes as Beth threw that document against his chest, and the white sheets began to fly around the room.The room that once served as Joseph Stanton's private office was now some sort of spa for Beth to receive a manicure from Alfred.Baxter gathered courage and sighed to bend down and pick up all those sheets submissively."We need a good report that explains our position on the disappearance of the will, and you produce this garbage," Beth complained.Baxter crossed his arms while crouching and silently stared at Beth. His mouth didn't utter words, but his mind was shouting insults at her like never before in his life."If you want a better report, you'll have to pay someone," threatened Baxter, utterly tired of Beth's humiliations."You really are a lousy lawyer. I don't understand how you worked for Joseph for so many years," Beth said, denigrating Baxter's work.Baxter continued gathering all t
Quickly, murmurs and gasps of astonishment flooded the entire courtroom where the trial was taking place.The people present wondered who these strangers were that had just arrived, and why they entered so disrespectfully into the supreme court chamber."Order! Order in the court!" shouted Judge Brown, pounding the bench with his wooden gavel. "Guards, please."The security guards quickly moved to prevent Lucius and Curtis from entering, but they did their best to stay inside without needing to struggle with the guards."We have something very important to say," Lucius shouted as he evaded the guards.The people quickly fell silent, and the murmuring in the room vanished instantly."May we know who you are and why you are entering in the middle of the trial like this?"Lucius waved a document in his hand with his arm fully extended so that everyone could see it."My name is Lucius Garner, and I have a document that is vital to the development of this case," Lucius shouted as he walked
Beth returned to the old Stanton mansion [now Aldress] after the major disappointment she had experienced in the trial with Judge Brown.That morning when she woke up, she thought that afternoon was going to be very different. Surely, she pictured herself swimming in bills that very afternoon, but Lucius Garner had taken it upon himself to ruin her party.Beth was very upset and needed to unleash her fury against something or someone. Since she arrived, she had been breaking all the glass cups and glasses she came across, but it still wasn't enough. She needed something much more significant and effective to drain all that anger. Perhaps something destructive and humiliating would be the perfect solution to her dilemma.Alfred stood beside her holding a tray with many empty glass cups for Beth to throw against the wall."Damn Norton!" Beth shouted as she threw a cup that shattered against the wall."Beth... Beth..." Baxter said timidly trying to stop her fury, but it was simply futile
The next day, everyone appeared in court again, intrigued to know Judge Brown's final decision. Only he knew the fate of the vast fortune left by Joseph Stanton. That will was the only thing that could change everything, and Beth knew it well. Judge Brown stepped onto the platform, and everyone stood up to greet him."You may be seated," the judge said, taking his seat. Everyone sat down, and Beth Aldress couldn't stop looking at Lucius and Curtis sitting on the other side."Those parasites are still there, waiting to lay their dirty hands on their father's inheritance," Beth whispered so that only her children could hear."Don't worry, Mom. That will is probably fake, and the expert should have noticed. Justice will prevail," Carson said, reassuring his mother as he took her arm."Justice my vagina. Those bastards are as corrupt as your father. I wouldn't be surprised if Judge Brown is also behind this conspiracy," Beth whispered."Impossible," Campbell whispered back."Nothing is im
The confession of Lucius Garner was a bombshell that blew the minds of everyone present in that courtroom. They all looked at each other, waiting for an explanation that no one could provide; only the attorney of the late Joseph Stanton knew the story of that fourth heir, which had been a secret until that day.Curtis was one of the most surprised people in that trial. He had gone from being a homeless man on the verge of being locked up to being a protege of Joseph Stanton even after his death, but he never imagined that Joseph had another secret son. That was news that no one could have expected."Order... silence... order in the court," Judge Brown commanded to quiet the murmurs that everyone present was making while silently expressing the astonishment that the news had left them."For security reasons, I will not reveal Ander's face until we are at the place and time of Joseph's will reading," Lucius exclaimed."Very well, very well. That's understandable," said the judge, finish
