Rosie smiled and heard Frederick respond, "This weekend, but it will be when Dylan is not around? As you know, part of my reason for not visiting since is because of the fact that Richard looks so much like me," Frederick said.

"I know, Fred. I really miss you so much. I think this weekend is okay, as Dylan won't be around, and he will be in the police station to know how the money got missing from his company records," Rosie replied.

"Hmm, we both know how. Thanks to that, next week, I am launching my new phone production company, and I want you to accompany me to the launching ceremony. I have invited a lot of partners that I worked with before to join me in celebrating the launch of my own products now," Frederick said.

"Hmm, isn't that too sudden? I mean, what if Dylan suspects me, seeing us taking photos together?" Rosie asked worriedly, as she wasn't done scamming Dylan yet.

She wanted to ensure that Dylan returned to the poor man that he was after his family's downward spiral, a

    Jessica felt embarrassed to hide away as she met Stephen's gaze on her.

I thought he was joking,' Jessica said in her mind as she wanted to disappear from the dining room.She quickly hastened her steps to walk away to the stairs and pretended like she was not the one that Stephen had come to see."Jessica, where are you going to? Without saying 'Hi' to your guest?" Mrs. Anaya questioned Jessica back with a bright smile on her face as she saw her daughter walking away.Jessica stood frozen and turned back to meet all her family's gazes on her.She replied, "Mom, I want to take Godsent upstairs to my room to sleep. It's already late now, Stephen. Why not go back home, unless you're here to see Rex?""Sister, Stephen isn't here to see me, and you know it. What do I need Stephen for?

    Jessica's heart skipped a beat as she was in her room, preparing to go out with Stephen to a restaurant or relaxation joint. She asked, "Who am I speaking with, please?"Ever since Jessica left Dylan's house and returned home, she hadn't received any official calls from anyone asking what she was up to or if she was Mrs. Robinson. Well, except for the doctors and nurses at the private hospital where she gave birth to her children; she did not have the time to start correcting them, as she used to be Mrs. Robinson."Well, I am Inspector Matthew Gerald calling you regarding a report made by your ex-husband at our police station, Mr. Dylan Robinson."Jessica's heart clenched as she heard that she was being invited to the police station.

    Florence was feeling the need to tell Dylan the truth, but she didn't know how she would tell him. She wondered if Dylan would believe her or not if she told him that she had caught Rosie and Frederick doing it just now in Rosie's bedroom.Florence was restless, and she had been looking for a way to send Rosie away since she disliked Rosie, and she wanted Dylan to bring Jessica back, but it had been long since Jessica left the house too.Florence frowned more as she remembered that she had seen Jessica with a baby before, the day she was leaving the hospital with Rosie, Dylan, and little Richard."I cannot tell the boss now, what evidence do I have to prove to him that Rosie is cheating on him with her brother? Hmm... I think it's best that I mind my business here in this house and leave all of them to cheat on themselves," Florence said to herself, and she finally focused on going to prepare their dinners, since Dylan was already at home.Florence kept Richard playing on his own in th

    Jessica left the restaurant, and she drove her car to the police station and parked.It was already in the evening at around 6 p.m. when she arrived at the police station, and she saw that her phone was ringing as soon as she switched off her car's engine. She immediately answered her phone call, as Remy was the one calling her."Where are you, sister? I called the guards just now, and he told me that you already left the restaurant for the police station. Why?" Remy inquired."I know, brother. I will soon be on my way home," Jessica replied, not wanting to state the obvious, as she was still seated in her car."What's the matter, sister? What happened? Why are you at the police station?" Remy asked, as he sounded serious."Nothing, brother. I will soon be on my way home. I actually got a call from an inspector this morning to visit the station, but not to worry; when I get home, I will briefly explain it to you," Jessica replied."Hmm," Remy sighed."Okay, sister, don't be late outsid

    "No... not now. Not to worry, when your daddy settles abroad, he will call us, okay?" Jessica replied, wanting to give her first son a little hope."Okay, Mom. Only that I miss Dad so much, and I want to hear his voice. I really want to hear him..." Caleb looked hopeful, as he didn't know that his father never traveled out."It's okay, not to worry. When your daddy calls me on the phone, I will let you know," Jessica replied."But Mom, how about Daddy's house here? Why not let us go back there and live until Dad returns from Chicago?" Caleb asked, and Jessica looked puzzled."No... I mean... not to worry, we will," Jessica forced her reply, and Caleb sighed. "Hmm, okay, Mom."Jessica saw that her son looked sad and maybe wanted to go back to his former room in Dylan's house. She assured him, "Not to worry, when your dad calls, I will let him know that you're asking about him or give you and Nina the phone to speak with him, okay?""Okay, Mom," Caleb sighed in relief, and Jessica stayed

She saw Dylan walk into the kitchen and wondered what he wanted, as Dylan hardly came into the kitchen.Florence immediately covered the pot of bitterleaf soup and asked Dylan, "What do you want, sir?"Dylan breathed out his seized anger first, not wanting to scare Florence away, and he asked her, "Where were you the previous Saturday when Frederick visited here? I think it is yesterday, Sunday, right?""Yes, sir," Florence nervously replied, and she wondered why Dylan was asking her about Frederick.Florence wondered in her mind, 'Has the boss found out the truth?

Jessica cursed as she walked up to her bed and sat on it. She picked up her pillow and folded it properly to place it underneath her head, and she lay on her bed rethinking her life.Jessica wanted to call Dylan's phone line and unblock him to find out what nonsense he was up to by allowing someone to defraud him.She knew so well that whomever the fraudsters may be, it was probably Dylan's new wife, as there was no way his new wife wouldn't be among the fraudsters too."I shouldn't be concerned if Dylan gets crippled or not, or if his company gets to collapse too.

So all this time, you knew Rosie was dating my sister's husband, and you kept quiet about it?" Remy asked sadly, avoiding his wife's tearful face as she knelt behind him, crying and holding his legs."I didn't know then, Remy. Believe me, I didn't know Dylan was your brother-in-law. I hadn't met you when Rosie started dating my brother. I don't even know when Dylan's and Rosie's relationship began. I only knew Rosie as my brother's girlfriend.

    Sharon smiled and told Frederick, "Don't worry about serving me anything, brother. I'll transfer 1 million dollars to you now, and if you manage it well, I'll give you another. But I hope Remy doesn't find out. He keeps loading my account with money and wonders why I don't spend it on ordering shoes and bags to look nice for him.""He's a good husband and wants you to look nice for him. I hope you can talk to him about me. I really miss my friendship with Rex. How's Rex doing now?" Frederick asked sadly. Sharon replied, "He's doing well, brother. Rex is married and has a son now.

Are you leaving for the office now?"Rosie sighed and replied, "Yes. Do you have money to take care of our kids? I hope you're not planning to sell off my two kids to raise money for yourself alone...""Rosie..." Frederick frowned and replied, "They're my kids too, and I don't need a DNA test to prove that. With the way you were comfortably cheating on me with Dylan... You can keep any money if you want. Or you might as well leave it.

You just got here today, and you already know your way around my house."“Our house, Rosie. Don't forget that we are still married and not yet divorced.
