Meanwhile, Evelyn got a call. She heard a muscular voice at the other end of the phone, asking to meet up with her urgently.

She was lying on Douglas's chest, on top of one of the cushions mapped out in a hidden corner of his office.

When she first picked up the call, she looked into Douglas's face. She wanted to confirm if he had dozed off. He has been quiet for some minutes and she wondered what he was thinking about.

She became hesitant as she noticed it was an unknown number but she still went ahead to press the accept button.

She wasn't scared of anything as long as she was in his arms.

Placing the phone close to her ear, she heard a muscular voice. She pursed her lips for some minutes and shot another glance at him. He was fully awake, studying her face as she placed the phone close to her ear.

She knew he must have heard the muscular voice as well. She made a hidden smirk. Probably, she could use this opportunity to know how jealous he could be.

She bit her lips before exchang

    She stared at her Dad. He appeared so pale with bones all popping out from his skin.She was trying her best to hold back her tears. She felt her instincts blaming her for his condition.If she hadn't fallen gullibly to her Mom's words, she wouldn't have gotten married to Douglas.She was so confused at that moment.

    “Someone found the plant?” Mrs Rhoda Bennett asked, furrowing her brows.“Yes mom. I was so scared. He even told me that you broke down in the process.” Evelyn responded, scrutinizing her Mom's body.Mrs Rhoda Bennett was as confused as ever.“Who exactly told you all this?” She asked, pinning herself down on a nearby chair.Evelyn rolled her eyes, thinking of how to go about the explanation. She could barely recall Mr unknown's baritone voice but couldn't imagine what he looked like.“He said that he is your personal assistant.”“What? And you believed him?” Mrs Rhoda Bennett asked with a scowl.Evelyn's eyes were swimming in curiosity.How would she have known that Mr unknown was lying to her? He had this convincing aura that seemed to possess her through the phone and besides everything he said was the truth.How could she have known that she hadn't employed a male personal assistant when she hasn't slept in the Mansion for weeks?“You should have called for confirmation.” Mrs Rhod

    “Why haven't you reported me yet to the corps or sued me to court?” Evelyn bit her lips in bitterness as she watched her Mom making a smirk out of each word she spouted out. “Oh, I understand. You might have possibly sued me but needed some evidence to prove me guilty.” Mrs Rhoda Bennett said between short scoffs. She retracted her hands which were tucked behind her back.The long, black gloves which stopped at her ankle came into view.Formerly, she would take off everything in the bathroom on the rooftop after watering the plants and change back to her normal clothes.But for a few days, something about Evelyn felt suspicious.She guessed that Evelyn had made research of what the plant was about and thought there was nothing to hide anymore. “Now you have all the evidence you need. C'mon, you can take a picture of me on this and give it to the reporters. This is enough evidence.” There were hints of mockery in her voice.“Mom, please stop all this.” Evelyn shrieked, the veins aro

    Wait a sec, it was only Isabella that knew the passcode of the main door.“What if the reason I received that tricky call was because of her?” Mrs Rhoda Bennett mumbled, baring her teeth.Because for goodness sake, Mr Bennett was in a critical condition. It would be difficult for him to see or climb the staircase leading to the rooftop.“Let's head home immediately. Something seems very fishy.” Evelyn said, tensed.They both rushed out from the restaurant and walked to where Mrs Rhoda Bennett's car was parked.They both climbed in before the driver speed of.“Drive with your highest acceleration.” Mrs Rhoda Bennett commanded harshly and grabbed her phone.She dialed Isa's number and hesitated to pull the call through.

    “Really, your name is not on the family's register?” Isa mumbled with a smirk, pretending not to know anything.“Is that the reason why you treat me so badly? Don't you think that if you behave properly, your name might be fixed on the family register?” Isa asked, hoping that Mr Bennett was listening to their conversations.Mrs Rhoda Bennett had earlier called to get words out of Isabella's mouth but right now, it seemed as if Isa had taken charge.Why would Isa even give her tips on how to win her father's heart in order for her name to be added to the family's register?It wasn't her deliberate intention to mumble those words to Mrs Rhoda Bennett but she had to in order to get her to spill more words.To Isa, Mrs Rhoda Bennett had come too far to go back.

The nearer the black Honda came, the deeper he could feel the danger.Suddenly, the black honda pulled itself into the same level with the taxi. He saw four men putting on black masks. They were unrecognizable except from the tiny holes around their eyes which permitted them to see through and the tiny hole below their nostrils which allowed the passage of air.At this point, Raymond knew that he was in very big trouble. He could see a long pistol hanging across each man's chest and he saw a burning rage flaming in each of their eyeballs.He thought of nothing else but Isabella.

She threw a galbce at the chairman who widened his eyes in shock.“How did you manage to know this?” The chairman suddenly asked in amazement.Isa just made a smirk.“Chairman, you forget things so easily. You must have forgotten that I was the same person that built this company to the top ten. Who do you think created the password to the company's shares?” She asked, making another cold smirk.The chairman took a deep breath and laughed.He couldn't possibly believe what she just said.“How is that possible.

Of course, they were young, vibrant guys and they might probably be involved in cyber crimes or internet fraud but he wasn't interested in any of that.The only thing he set his mind to do is to dig out who the culprit is.“Replay the clips, starting from this morning.” He said, narrowing his eyes.They turned on the TV that was connected to the cameras at the morgue attendant's room.The inspector watched the TV with every gusto in him.

They were disappointed in the federal government for what happened.The individual who communicated with them wasn't specifically the federal government but an arm and messenger from the federal government.“This message is coming directly from the Federal government. I am here to tell you all that you have falsely been accusing them for what they know nothing about.” The baritone voice began from the other end and paused halfway to catch a breath.An unusual deafening silence drifted in.

    How would she make this lady understand that she is on the run?

    He suddenly pulled the car to the side of the road. Everything seemed like a dream to him. It's barely ten minutes since they drove out of the morgue and barely fifteen minutes since those uniformed men took the pathologist and the morgue attendant away.How possible could it be that they were both found dead? Actually the Airlines news station doesn't give fake information.“The pathologist and the morgue attendant are both dead?” Isa asked, perplexed.“How could that be possible?” He replied with scrutiny on his face.A while ago, three uniformed men who claimed to come from the Federal Government came and cuffed them out of the morgue.According to the news, their death didn't result from any form of car accident.Which only means one thing. Those men were sent to kill the pathologist and the morgue attendant.But why?
