They scattered the ashes in the lake the next day and stayed there for two days before leaving.Maddox and Ellaria left the same day as they had left the twins at home alone.Though their friends were helping babysit, El was not comfortable leaving her children alone, especially after what happened to Liam and Lina.The police found Leena’s baby a week after Rosy’s funeral.They finally told Leena the truth. She passed out seeing the pale child the police had brought with them.They ran a DNA test and confirmed that the child was indeed theirs.They held a solemn funeral for the baby. They decided to keep the baby girl they had adopted and named her Jenna.Time stops for none, and eventually, everyone has to move on.William had left the AR mansion to Aria.Rosaline was his beneficiary for everything. AR mansion went to Aria after she was also gone.Aria stayed behind in the AR mansion. Riddled with guilt and loss, she took care of Anna and her son - Jacob.The Jins had named the chil
Amidst all the grief and losses, the Scotts were facing in-fighting in the company again.Some people were deliberately causing trouble by flagging the issue of the lack of a competent heir.Danial was helpless as he had only managed to convince everyone previously with the news that William was his biological child, who had gotten switched at birth.Though there were some dissents, they had no choice but to wait and see how William fared.He had shown quite the potential, and they couldn’t easily dismiss him.But with William gone, those dissents turned into war cries.Danial was already frustrated with not finding the perpetrator behind his son’s death.The issues in the company were getting to him.A few anonymous maids in the house and some of his secretaries had unvoiced concerns about his mental health.Amidst the chaos - Danial’s elder brother, Andrew, who had disappeared more than three decades after the loss of his pregnant wife - showed up with his very much alive wife and a
The shareholder’s meeting turned into a chaotic scuffle with people pushing for each side.Danial had two biggest supporters - Jackson and Felix.Felix was Asteria’s boyfriend and future in charge of her properties since his little girl was unsuited for anything business-related.Jackson was Danial’s childhood friend.Jackson was also a Scott from a minor branch though he did not have the Scott name being an illegitimate child. He was the largest shareholder after Danial.Danial was confident in these two, and with a few more people speaking up for him, he was sure to hold on to what was his children’s right.But the reality blew him a hard hand as Felix spoke out of turn.“I think Mrs. Andrew’s suggestion is good. If Michael and Asteria get married, the power stays with the Scott family, Asteria remains a Scott, and the Scott Group obtains a capable leader.”“I still have to manage the AR Group, and I don’t think I am suited for this.”Danial thought he got struck by lightning.Jacks
The next day started with breaking news.Danial Scott, Global CEO of Scott Group, was relieved of his position due to failing mental health caused by the loss of his only child and his pregnant fiance.Asteria Scott, who had gotten switched at birth with Danial Scott’s son, was to marry Michael Scott.Michael Scott, son of Andrew Scott, who was presumed dead along with his mother when she was heavily pregnant, was to inherit the Scott Group, which was rightfully his father's.The top 10 searches on the business sectors were related to the complicated dynamics and the change in power within Scott Group.The rumors were inflamed when Danial Scott disappeared.He only made an appearance later in the afternoon when the rumors had spread far and wide, and the time to stop them had passed.Left without any other choice, he handed over his reign as CEO to Michael.Danial, however, remained the largest shareholder.Asteria was to inherit all his shares.The insiders knew Michael’s position wa
On the other side of the world, a man slept on a hard bed, frowning and muttering unintelligible words.His fair triangular face was full of sweat.He woke up with a start and panted heavily.Tossing his blanket aside, he slowly walked, feeling the surroundings with his hands.After slow pacing, he reached the bed on the other side of the room.He caressed the round face of a woman who closed her big eyes just as he touched her.He caressed her sharp nose and plump lips.“I am so sorry. I could not protect you. When I close my eyes, I see you asking me where our baby is.” The man whispered.The woman was listening intently and could barely hear him. “Sometimes I feel lucky that I lost my eyes, for I do not have to see the questions and the accusations in your eyes. I love you.”He held her hand and placed his head on the side of the bed. He sat on the floor and fell asleep.The woman blinked her eyes and showed a satisfied smile.She had taken him to several doctors, and they had all
Andrew and Michael had successfully taken over Scott Group.However, they both knew they only held onto empty shells without the shares. Their power and position were shallow victories before the real deal.Michael had no choice but to marry Asteria and have a child with her. That was the only way to get the shares.Not that he was not thrilled with the idea, she was one fine thing. He would have been happier if she was a virgin, but he did not mind.There were more than enough nymphs ready to spread their legs for him - the Global CEO of Scott Group.It had quite a ring to it. Michael was satisfied.However, he did not like Andrew and Jackson raining on his parade every chance.Be careful!It’s not over yet!Be mindful of your actions.You have yet to prove your capabilities.Don’t be rash!Try to be low-key!Impress the shareholders and top management.Michael was sick of hearing crap from both of them.That bitch Asteria stayed put in Apex city and would not come to Z city no matt
Four months ago!Everyone had gone to the lake house to scatter Rosaline and William’s ashes in the lake.Jack and Albert had broken the somber atmosphere and ushered everyone to the basement. They had made everyone leave their gadgets and all their jewelry and made them wear clothes they had prepared in advance.Tessa felt uneasy, seeing Albert and Jack acting weird and secretive.Anthony urged everyone to sit comfortably and maybe take support.“Uncle, what’s going on?” Tristen asked.He had his suspicions, but he did not dwell on them to stop himself from being disappointed.Anthony merely hushed him and told everyone to be quiet.Jack went to the gym room and escorted a very alive and pregnant Rosaline.The room fell silent.They could even hear a pin drop.Rosaline looked at Tessa, who had frozen in place, and uttered, “Tess!”Tessa ran towards her, but Jack stopped her, saying, “Careful, she is pregnant.”Tessa shook her head, “How is this possible?”Rosaline embraced her, clut
Anthony filled in the rest._Liam spotted a few people in the Scott Group who seemed shady.Moreover, he saw Supriya Lanz close to Scott Group with people with whom she shouldn’t be acquainted.To those who don’t know, Supriya Lanz is our neighbor, her mother is Bella’s friend, and thus she had been a close acquaintance until six years ago.She is obsessed with Liam. Six years ago, she drugged him, stalked him, hired people to assault Lina, and ended up with a restraining order.She was monitored for three years after those events to ensure she maintained a distance from Lina and Liam. And she had abided by the rules.Liam got suspicious and asked me to help him cover Supriya.She had been in touch with a few people from the Scott Group who were planning a coup.It included someone thrown out of CARE for attempted rape and arrested. And a few people from the syndicate that Lina had helped disband.All these people held a grudge against Lina.They had not done anything yet. Although t
