As Greg opened the door, Louis entered the study and handed the phone to Greg, giving him a questioning look. Greg nodded, took the phone, and turned away a bit for some privacy.

"Hello, Theresa," Greg greeted calmly, despite the tension in the room. "How can I help you?"

While Greg was on the phone, Lily quietly organized the files on the table, trying to appear as though nothing had happened between them. Louis, however, sensed something strange in the study and looked at both Greg and Lily suspiciously.

Lily avoided looking at Louis, focusing on her task. She felt a pang of guilt...

As Greg ended the call, he told Louis, "Sophia is coming over in a few days. She called to inform me."

Lily suddenly looked up and said, "Isn't Sophia your daughter?"

Louis quickly replied before Greg could, "Yes, she is. She's a very beautiful young woman." He added, "But she takes time to warm up to new faces, so don't feel bad if she doesn't act friendly at first."

Lily smiled and said, "I don't thin

This surprised Greg.Megan then turned to Lily, who stood there with a confused look on her face. Greg said, "Megan, what sort of behavior is that?"Ignoring Greg's question, Megan stared at Lily and said, "Didn't he tell you I'm also tagging along?"Greg replied, "But you have a car assigned to you, Megan."She responded, "I'm riding in yours. She should sit beside the driver – that's where an assistant is meant to sit," Megan said rudely.Feeling upset, Lily opened the front door and sat down. Greg was displeased with Megan's behavior, but he didn't say anything further.

    After taking a shower, Greg checked his phone and saw a text from Lily that read, "I sent you some wine. It's a sign of my love for you." He chuckled, knowing it was unlike her to say such things. He replied, "Why not package yourself as the wine and come up?"Megan, who was pretending to be Lily, tightened her fist and typed back, "Megan is still awake. I'll come up later. Wait for me! I'll come up at midnight. Leave the door open." She then deleted the chat history and put Lily's phone back.Staring at Lily sleeping on the bed, Megan said, "You're no match for me!"Megan then called a waiter who worked for her and added a hallucinogenic liquid to the wine. "Make sure he drinks it," she instructed before dismissing the waiter. Sipping her wine, she smirked in satisfaction.At midnight, Megan left her suite and entered Greg's. She noticed the empty wine glass and smiled. Seeing Greg lying on the sofa, she walked up to him in her black lacy pajamas. She sat on his lap and gently pulled

    That night, Lily, feeling concerned about Greg's uncharacteristic silence, sent him a text message. "Are you okay? I haven't heard from you all day," she typed, hoping for a response. However, Greg, who had lied about his trip to Orio and was still in Phoenix, couldn't bring himself to face Lily after his encounter with Megan. He had made Megan promise to keep their secret in exchange for her staying longer at the mansion. As he read Lily's message, he couldn't help but whisper, "I'm sorry for breaking your trust."The following day, the maids were diligently cleaning Sophia's room upstairs in anticipation of her return.

    That night, a soft knock on Lily's door stirred her from her thoughts. "Come in," she called, and May entered the room, her hands fidgeting nervously. Lily, observing her discomfort, sat up in her bed and asked with concern, "Are you okay, May?"May approached Lily, her eyes filled with remorse. "I'm sorry, Lily," she began, her voice shaky. "I accused you and acted rudely towards you. Can you forgive me?"A gentle smile spread across Lily's face as she replied, "It's a matter of the heart, May. I understand how you felt, and I'm not angry with you."May, relieved by Lily's compassionate response, continued, "Lily, I've been observing you, and I can see that you're not a bad person. But please be wary of Megan; she's out to get you."Lily nodded, acknowledging May's warning. "I know, May, and I'm avoiding her, too."May's lips curled into a smile as she said, "That's good. Goodnight, Lily." With that, she turned and left the room, leaving Lily to her thoughts.Lily, her mind racing, s

What's wrong?" he asked, his brow furrowed in concern.Steeling herself, Lily replied, "I believe we should talk."Greg held her gaze, silently assessing her demeanor before responding.

    The next morning, Riona entered the kitchen. As she was cutting an apple to feed Sophia, the knife slipped and sliced through her hand. She winced in pain, and Louis, who happened to be passing by, heard her and quickly rushed into the kitchen.Seeing Riona's bleeding hand, Louis sprang into action. He swiftly led her to the sink to wash away the blood before retrieving the first aid kit from the cabinet. As he gently applied ointment to her wound, Louis remarked, "You need to be more careful. You've been getting into a lot of accidents lately."Riona kept staring at Louis, unaccustomed to someone taking care of her so attentively. Growing up in an orphanage, she never experienced such compassion. Unable to meet his gaze, she looked down, overwhelmed by the unfamiliar sensation of being tended to. Louis noticed her discomfort and smiled reassuringly. "All done." He then helped her slice the remaining apple.As he handed her the plate, Louis advised, "I think it's best if you refrain f

Losing a child is a tragedy no parent should ever face."Lily, taking Greg's lead, added, "Your son's life was taken too soon, but taking Sophia's life won't bring him back. It will only cause more suffering, more pain."Lily, her eyes locked on Sophia's terrified face, continued, "Please, Megan, think about what you're doing. This isn't the way to honor your son's memory."A sudden, chilling laughter broke through the silence as Megan regained her composure. "You almost had me there," she said with a smirk.

    Few days later, Lily and Mason made their way to the hypnotherapist's office for their scheduled appointment. However, as they approached the building, they couldn't help but notice that something seemed amiss. The windows were shuttered, and a "Closed" sign hung prominently on the door.Exchanging a worried glance, they ventured inside, only to find the waiting room empty and the office in disarray.

"Yes, I brought Sophia for a short stay with her dad."As Louis studied Riona, he couldn't help but notice a change in her demeanor. The once vibrant and outgoing woman now seemed troubled and distant, as if something heavy weighed upon her heart."It's been a while," Louis said softly, trying to bridge the gap between them. He hesitated before asking, "How have you been?"Before he could finish his question, Riona cut him off abruptly. "I should rest up; I'm a bit tired from the long flight." Her words were clipped, and her tone seemed to suggest that she was eager to end the conversation.Without another word, Riona turned and walked away, her steps echoing in the now silent room.

Time had been kind to Greg, and he looked as handsome as ever.

"You're welcome, Lily. Are you alright?"Lily nodded, her gaze shifting to Mason, who stood beside her with a look of surprise on his face.
