As Mr Jones was consoling his daughter, Richard Jones who was the elder brother of Rachel drove in the compound with his black ride.

He came down from the car, revealing a stunning man in a suit.

He was almost identical to Rachel, with his curly hair which bounces as he walks his way into the house.

When Richard entered the mansion, he noticed that everywhere was calm and quiet, he was about to walk upstairs when he saw a maid coming out from the kitchen.

Richard paused in his step as he stared at the maid and asked with a straight face, “where is my father?

“Good day young master”. The maid bowed her head as she greeted him before continuing , “Senior Master is at young mistress room”. She said respectfully.

“Ok, get me a glass of water upstairs”. He said as he made his way upstairs.

He wasn’t surprised where his father was, because ever since his little sister married, his father has been spending most of his time in her bedroom.

That was why it was so neat even after months of no one staying there.

Thinking of his baby sister who always calls his name with a childish voice made him feel nostalgic.

He really misses her, but he will always respect her choice.

He shook his head as he made his way to his bedroom.

He was about to open his room when he heard a distant sobbing and a soothing voice coming from his sister’s room.

He immediately recognized the voice to be his father, but he was curious of what was going on.

So he abandoned his initial plan to rest and walked straight to his sister's room.

When he got close, he heard the sobbing voice which made him open the room lightly to peek, but he was shocked with what he saw.

His sister whom he was missing and thinking of a while ago was now present in her bedroom.

He had totally forgotten about the sobbing sound and opened the door with excitement.

As he entered the room, that was when he noticed that something was wrong.

He stared at his sister who was whimpering uncontrollably in their father's arms and became scared and angry at the same.

The last thing he never wanted to see in this life was his sister crying.

He hates to see tears in her eyes, no matter what happens.

Mr Jones who noticed his son, signaled him with his hand not to make any noise as he was still consoling his daughter.

Rachel, who was still unaware that her brother was present in the room, was still sobbing softly.

Although she pretended to be alright during her confrontation with Matthew, she was still heartbroken.

She tried to wave it off but it just came back to her senses.

She held her father's clothes tight as she felt safe to be in his arms.

Seven minutes later, she stopped crying and regained herself.

“He’s not worth crying for”. She murmured softly with a hoarse voice, but it was heard by her father as he was close to her.

Seeing that she had stopped crying, Mr Jones took a deep breath and sighs in relief.

Just like his son Richard, he also hates to see tears in her eyes, after all she was his only princess his late wife left behind, and he swore to protect her.

“Are you ok princess? He asked with a smile on his face.

“Yes dad”. Rachel said as she clutched his cloth while hiding her face in it.

She wasn’t thinking straight earlier, but as she came back to her senses, she became embarrassed.

Mr Jones chuckled when he saw her action, so he smiled and said with a teasing smile, “you don’t need to be shy princess, I’m your dad”.

“Urgh… I know dad, but crying like that is just not cute”. She said with a whining voice as she continued to hide her face in his cloth.

“But it’s ok to cry princess, it’s good for the eyes”. Mr Jones said as he tried to encourage her.

Richard was speechless with his father’s words, but he chose to ignore it.

He walked forward softly and was about to make his presence known, but his father’s deadly gaze made him stop in his tracks as he wondered what he did wrong.

“Trying to interrupt us”. Mr Jones thoughts as he gaze at him with a disgusting stare

Meanwhile Rachel was unaware of her father and brother silent confrontation as she said,

“I know dad, it’s good to cry, but I’m now a grown up lady”. As she said this she sighed.

“No one is above crying, so don’t think like that”.

Mr Jones said.

Richard was already seething with jealousy as he stared at his father and sister who were conversing with one another.

Without wasting much time, he ignored his father's stares, as he walked to the bed and was about to sit on it, when Rachel finally lifted her head from her father’s embrace.

“Brother”. She said happily as she stood up and threw herself into his body.

“Hey slow down little sis”. Richard said as he caught her steadily with his hands while giving his father a smug look.

Not minding his words at all, she circled her hands around his neck as she hugged him tight.

“I miss you big bro”. She said as she smiled sweetly at him.

“I miss you too, my little chipmunk”. He said as he winked playfully.

Feeling vexed, she came down from his body and put her hands on her waist before saying with pouty lips, “I dare you to call me that again”. She doesn’t like the name at all but her brother always uses it to tease her.

“Little chipmunk”. Richard said with a hefty laugh.

Feeling challenged, Rachel clenched her fist as she punched him lightly, making him groan.

She rolled her eyes when she saw him acting like that.

So she stuck out her tongue and said, “maybe you should go for acting, I bet you will win an Oscar”. Rachel said with a teasing voice.

“Ok Miss fatty”. Richard said with a smirk.

“What do you mean? Rachel asked as she narrowed her eyes at him.

“You know baby sis, you should lose some weight, I could feel my bones aching already”. Richard said as he shrugged his shoulders.

“Dad”. Rachel stumped her feet as she complained to her father.

Seeing the opportunity, Mr Jones said with a smirk “Dare to bully my princess “. As he reacted by kicking Richard so hard that he had to groan in pain.

“That serves you right”. Rachel said with a giggle.

Hearing her giggle, the two men smiled happily because they always want to see their princess happy at all times.

He glanced down at her and asked with a gentle voice, “What is it, babe?”Hearing this, Rachel lifted her head slightly and stared at him, then she raised her brows and said with a slightly harsh voice,“I told you I’m hungry, but I still haven’t gotten any food”. Harris gulped his saliva and gave a guilty smile as he scratched the back of his head.Giving her a sheepish smile, he muttered softly, “Right babe, sorry I forgot.”“Obviously you did ,” she rolled her eyes at him and muttered under her breath.“Alright, babe, enough of the sulking. I will order something right away.” He said and grabbed his phone which was the table close to him.But just before he could start ordering, Rachel

    Richard, who had been seated next to Harris, opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Freda and Olivia burst into louder cries, as their sobs echoed in the room.Everyone was stunned with their outburst.“Damn, these pregnancy hormones,” Richard muttered under his breath and quickly got up as he walked toward Olivia, wrapping her gently in his arms.“Sweetheart, don’t cry. Rachel is okay, she’s just a bit stressed out,” he whispered softly and patted her shoulder slightly to comfort her.Olivia looked up at him with tear filled eyes and hiccuped,“Are you… sure?” She asked in a stammering voice.Richard nodded with a soft smile. “Yes, sweetheart, I’m sure. She just needs rest.” He said with an assuring voice.Hearing that Rachel was fine, Olivia slowly calmed down. Her sobs became sniffles, and she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.Meanwhile, Hilary was doing the same for Freda, rubbing her back and whispering reassurances.Eventually, the room quieted down

On the other hand, Mr. Jones and Mr. Davis also stood up quickly, their faces filled with concern.The doctor didn’t waste time listening to Harris for instructions, he turned to the nurse and said, “Take her to a private room.”He had already recognized who they were, and he knew this wasn’t just any patient.Everyone followed behind as Rachel was carefully wheeled into a spacious, quiet private room.

    Rachel stared at the remaining people in the room whose faces were pale.She tilted her head slightly as she let her long hair fall gently over her shoulder. Then putting on a slow and confident smile, she asked , “Anything left to say?” Although Sam had said it earlier, she still repeated it.Seeing that there was no response from either of them, she chuckled lightly, which somehow sent shivers down their spines.“Good,” she said with a deep sigh, and stood up from her chair.Closing her laptop and handing it to Ilmelda, she stared at them coldly and said, “You are all dismissed.”And just like that, they all stood up and rushed outside as if they were being chased.Some even fell down when they were rushing. So they quickly murmured some apologies, before leaving the conference room without looking back.Rachel, who was still standing, was unmoved. Instead, she crossed her arms lightly as she watched them flee, making her smirk.“Cowards,” she muttered under her breath.Meanwhile

    Hearing his name, Ted’s whole body stiffened and his fake smile fell from his face.He looked at Rachel who continued without battling her eyes.“You think just because you have been with the company for a long time, you are untouchable? She asked him with a sneer and continued , “You have been manipulating stock values, lying to new investors, and company money for personal use. You even had the audacity to change project codes so as to confuse others.”Saying this, her eyes narrowed.Seeing his confused look, she chuckled and said, “We know you deleted messages but we also recovered them. So don’t be surprised.” She told him.Everyone gasped in horror as they stared at Mr Ted's face who was really embarrassed.They realized that he was the mastermind and the main villain who encouraged the rest of their shitty behavior.“I wonder,” Rachel said sweetly and continued , “how my legal team will handle you.”Ted’s face turned grey as his hands shook slightly under the table.
