In a rush, Dickson quickly exited the room upon hearing the news. He pondered, "Isaac rarely gives me a call; it must be something important." Answering the phone, he greeted with a quick, "Hello?" On the other end, Isaac urgently conveyed, "Mr. Dickson, Mrs. Kiki isn't feeling well and insists you return to the Anderson mansion right away." Concerned, Dickson inquired, "What's wrong with grandma?" Isaac explained, "Mrs. Kiki's condition has worsened, and the doctor is already on the scene." Anxious, Dickson exclaimed, "I'm heading home immediately!" "Noted, Mr. Dickson," responded the butler. After hanging up, Dickson, ready to leave, suddenly remembered Amanda and returned to the ward.Dickson informed Amanda, "I have an urgent situation, and I need to get back home quickly. You..." Amanda, harbouring resentment towards Dickson, responded icily, "Just go home. Don't worry about me!" Taking charge, Dickson directed, "Lizzy and Jack stay here and look after Amanda. Call me if needed."
The individuals from Eric's local gang who were owed money by him directly entered his home. Eric, who was still undressed, became visibly alarmed upon seeing them and asked, "Linus, Victor, what brings you here?" Linus, with a cigarette in his mouth, casually complimented Eric on his attractive girlfriend.The gangsters expressed admiration for her beauty, unaware that she was actually a friend of Terry's family and engaged to Dickson. In the context of the slum they were in, the gangsters found it hard to believe that such a respectable woman would be present there.Moreover, she associated herself with someone like Eric. Eric's complexion grew even paler, and his voice quivered as he responded, "Well, there's nothing like that. She's just a friend." The gangsters scoffed in disbelief, laughing disdainfully. Eric, who appeared dishevelled, was widely assumed to be romantically involved with the woman.Cutting through the excuses, one of the gangsters demanded, "Enough of the talk! W
Dickson was in a rush and didn't mince words. "Cut the nonsense!" he impatiently insisted. He believed that the family heirloom rightfully belonged to his wife, not Amelia. When Amelia heard this, she was devastated and argued that Dickson's sister had given it to her. In response, Dickson coldly asserted that the gift was intended for his wife, making it clear that he had no intentions of marrying Amelia. The revelation hit Amelia like a thunderclap, and she demanded an explanation. Dickson, after a brief pause, stated bluntly that he meant what he said. Amelia, filled with fear and disappointment, sought confirmation on whether Dickson refused to marry her. Dickson, faced with the situation, stayed silent, eventually explaining that they needed to pretend to be a loving couple for the sake of his seriously ill sister."We can obtain a certificate if you'd like, but it comes with the condition of signing a prenuptial agreement. Additionally, manage your expectations, especially regar
After returning home, Francisca eagerly dropped her school bag and rushed to Francis' room, joyfully announcing their arrival. Francis welcomed her with a bright laugh, and Betty quickly placed Francis in his wheelchair. His sister presented a handmade paper aeroplane as a gift, expressing her deep affection for her brother, who was unwell. Francis expressed gratitude for the thoughtful gesture, admiring the beautiful paper aeroplane. Francis, proud of her creation, demonstrated its flying abilities, sending it soaring into the living room. Francis, delighted, applauded her efforts, declaring his happiness at her return."Mom, can we go to the Mcdonalds we went to with Francis last time?""Sure, Francis really enjoys the fries there. Should I take him along?""They have a slide and a children's playground!"Amanda, looking at Francisca, felt a bit frustrated as she responded, "Well, it seems like you really want to go there." Despite her dislike for her children consuming too much jun
“Oh, goodness.” Amanda sighed deeply. She now felt a profound fear of Dickson. Avoiding offence or hiding from him seemed impossible, as Dickson persistently threatened and bullied her. Observing Amanda's grave demeanour, Andrew found himself at a loss for words, unsure of how to console her.In his thoughts, Andrew pondered, "I'd support Amanda and address her issues if someone bothers her." Unfortunately, the source of Amanda's distress was Dickson. Andrew felt powerless against him, thinking, "I can't do anything about Dickson!"Ten minutes later, there was still no call from Amanda to Dickson. Dickson resided in the Cecillia Villa in Boston, having returned to his previous residence after divorcing Amanda. The villa boasted luxury, facing the sea as the sole structure on the mountain. The mayor of the city occupied the villa on the left, while a high-ranking official of Finland inhabited the mansion on the right.In this instant, Dickson simmered with rage, feeling as though he mi
Sundry Venturas served as a hub for film and television production, housing various sets where multiple production teams were actively shooting. Andrew ushered Francisca into the dressing room, where he was warmly greeted by others addressing him as Mr.Andrew . Andrew invited Francisca in, assuring her, "They will give you a style." Francisca complied, following Andrew's lead into the room.Inside, a makeup artist and stylist commenced crafting the Francisca look. Meanwhile, outside the dressing room, Francis inquired, "Mommy, can we grab hamburgers once Francisca completes his audition?" The response came, "Sure, I'll take you guys for hamburgers around noon, okay?""Fantastic!" Francis beamed like a sunflower. Francis rarely ventured outside due to his health, making outings with Amanda and Francisca special occasions. So, when Amanda took her out, it became Francis's happiest moment.Meanwhile, Francis, wearing a serious expression, sat with a tense demeanour, contemplating how to
"Andrew inquired about the whereabouts of the young actor, Francisca. Despite searching through dressing rooms and the rented photography studio, Francisca remained elusive. Fearing the worst, Andrew urgently instructed his assistants to conduct a separate search. Eight assistants scoured the studio and nearby areas. Concerned, Amanda suggested to Francis that they return, suspecting Francisca had completed his audition. Francis agreed, and they headed back."Following that, Amanda rushed back to the photography studio. There, she spotted Andrew frantically scanning the surroundings. Concerned, Amanda inquired, "Drew, where is Francisca?" Andrew took a deep breath, attempting to compose himself, and replied, Mandy, please try to stay calm first." Anxious and persistent, Amanda pressed, "Drew, where is Francisca? Are you hiding something from me? Tell me now!"Seeing Amanda's distress, Andrew couldn't bring himself to keep the truth hidden. He confessed, "Francisca had an audition here
"Patrick, this is a serious matter, potentially involving criminal actions. Please request Stanley to return Francisca if he's involved. Otherwise..."Before Patrick could catch the rest of Amanda's speech, Stella grabbed the phone.Stella angrily conveyed, "I'm warning you, don't falsely accuse Stanley! If your daughter is missing, it's your fault for not taking care of her. Don't blame others for your negligence! If you defame my cousin again, I'll take legal action! You deserve the consequences, it's divine retribution!"With a sharp sound, Stella hung up, leaving Amanda bewildered."Hello? Hello?" Amanda took a deep breath, suppressing her emotions. She reminded herself, "I need to stay calm for my thoughts to function."After the call, Stella continued her tirade of curses.Patrick furrowed his brow and inquired, "Where's Stanley?"Stella retorted, "Who knows? Stanley is probably hanging out with some obscure celebrity."Upon hearing this, Patrick couldn't help but sigh, expressi
