Triumph Of The Belittled Son-in-law CHAPTER 160
“Oh, Mirabel is doing fine. She was lively just a few moments ago but she is now asleep,” Sarah responded, caressing Mirabel’s hair. She intentionally avoided the question about how her first day at work was because she didn’t know how to respond to that just yet.In any case, she was relieved that it was her brother Marcus Winston who stopped by to talk to her. She always had the feeling that someone was going to interrupt her thoughts by wanting to engage her in a conversation that she wasn’t going to be interested in.But at least with Marcus’ presence, she didn’t have to be worried about all that anymore. Also, she had a thing or two to speak to Marcus about and she hoped that she would develop the courage to talk to him about it and that he wouldn’t impose his opinion like the way Doctor Lopez did even before she could let out what she was going to say.“That’s good. I’m happy to hear that,” Marcus responded.The waiter brought the chips with chicken that Sarah had requested and

“Why would I be thinking about her? I don’t get it, Sarah. Where is all these coming from?” Marcus asked, his eyes darting with a frantic flicker of fear.“It’s just a feeling, Marcus,” Sarah responded. “I have been having a bad hunch about her since the other day that she was injected with the virus and was convulsing.”“The day that she was injected with the virus marked the beginning of our freedom. What are you talking about?” Marcus’ face was a black canvas of confusion, his eyes darting in a frantic search for understanding.“Look at all of these. Look at the wonderful environment in which we now find ourselves. Look at the wonderful people. Look how much we are being paid. Look at how we are being welcomed. Everything seems so good so I don’t get it. Why are you looking back? Why are you trying to get stuck in the past?”Sarah’s face was contorted with her passionate concern. “I know that you like it here. Yes, you find the whole environment very comfortable and beautiful. Yes,

The other employees in the dining hall had their heads turned in a silent chorus and their attention was laser-like as they all had inquisitive stares on them.They all gasped in horror as their words were a buzzing whisper that filled the air with a hum of curiosity.“Are those not the new employees?”“What’s going on with them? I think they just broke up - maybe they came together as couples or they were dating.“No, they are definitely not dating. Can’t you see that the woman has a baby? Look, look at her baby sling.”“It doesn’t mean anything - I know they resumed work together. They must be related in some kind of way.”Sarah’s hands fidgeted nervously as she lowered her eyes when she heard the murmurs. Her heart was pounding in her chest - the thing that she had been so desperately trying to avoid was happening to her. She didn’t want to be the center of attention.“You are actually very ungrateful Sarah,” Marcus bellowed, his words dripping with a lava of wrath. “You don’t dese

“My baby needs attention so I would want to take care of her better. She doesn’t feel too well.”Sarah could have worked without any problems but she chose to use her baby as an excuse to just leave the office. She needed to have fresh air because everything around her had started choking her. She was almost sure that she wasn’t going to get back to the company. She had other plans and on top of them was to get back her former position at Winston Corporation. There, she felt like someone with more power and authority - at least before Lady Winston started thinking of her as a betrayer.Even when there were a lot of wagging tongues against her just before the time that she was dismissed by Lady Winston, it still felt like home.Ms. Natalie’s silence was a subtle protest, her muted response was a silent rebuke of the false excuse that Sarah had.But she couldn’t possibly stop a nursing mother from attending to her baby. “Alright then, you can go take care of your child.”Sarah then le

It wasn’t the same look from the inside though because the external part was very well punished and painted with beautiful colors. At least, that was how she remembered it to be during the years she visited her friend, Arianna regularly.“Who is in there?” A voice from inside asked - the voice sounded like that of a child.“It’s me, Sarah. Are you Arianna’s child? I need to see Arianna - tell your mum that it’s me if you are her child,” Sarah responded.There was a brief silence that got Sarah wondering if she had gotten the wrong address. Perhaps the house had been sold out to another person, she thought.But the door suddenly flung open. It was her friend Arianna. Her face lit up like fireworks and her smile was as wide as the summer beam as she rushed to embrace Sarah.“Wow, I can’t believe who it is!” Arianna spoke excitedly, her words coming out in a rush of excitement.“You better believe Ariana,” Sarah spoke, her voice beaming with energy.Arianna was the only person who could

“What? You need a gun?” Arianna responded with a question as if she was mimicking what Sarah had earlier said.“Yes, Arianna. I need a gun.”Arianna’s hands grasped with a frantic struggle of confusion. “Well, Sarah. First of all, that’s not a difficult thing. Everyone owns a gun nowadays. You can even get one at stores that have been licensed for such a since it would be licensed as you are receiving it. I don’t see why—”Sarah cut her short again. “Yes, I know but I am asking you. You know that it takes 24 to 48 hours for the licensing and registration process to be completed.” “Sometimes it’s even more than that. But I could always have you give me yours. That’s why I am here actually and as you already predicted, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for something important. I am really running against time right now and I can’t afford to waste any more minutes.”Arianna’s laugh was a disbelieving chuckle and her eyes were contorted with a bemused glint. “Wait, so this is really seriou

“Arianna, this is why I told you earlier that I will give you the full details later. I can’t start explaining everything to you because I will have to go into detail which takes time. What I can do is to tell you when I am done.”“And why don’t you hire assassins? I could help with that and it would be so much easier hiring real thugs to do that as long as you can pay them,” Arianna suggested.For a brief moment, Sarah thought about the idea of having assassins do what she needed to do at Doctor Lopez’s office but she changed her mind because even if she was able to render Doctor Lopez silenced, she still had to recognize the antidote. It was best that she did it herself then because she at least had a graphic description of how it was supposed to look like.“Don’t worry about hiring assassins. I would go about the task myself,” Sarah responded after having a lot of deliberation in her head.Arianna’s resolve crumbled with a weakening surrender. “Hmm, I just hope that this is not the

Anyway, as much as she knew that it was going to be easier doing that in his house, she always knew that the antidote which was her main goal wasn’t going to be in his house. He gave a hint to that effect on the day that Lady Winston was injected with the virus.Sarah’s gaze was a clouded doubt and her changing features were a troubled canvas that revealed her inner conflict. The more she tried to keep her composure, the more she struggled woefully at it.“Are you visiting Doctor Lopez on behalf of Paul?” The secretary asked. “We haven’t received any directive from Mr. Leonard that you were going to be coming.”Sarah’s fingers twitched with a nervous energy with her posture unsettled. She had to say that she was from Paul, she thought. If she said she came on her own accord, she would be inviting a flurry of other questions that she might not be able to answer. Even though any answer she gave was always going to carry some risk, it was better to take the safer option.“I was directed
