When it was connected, she spoke with a soft voice and said, "August, I would like to apologize on behalf of my niece, Lily. She went overboard at her parents' funeral service when she was chasing your daughter. For that, I am deeply sorry.Please allow Lily to stay with us. I promise she will never misbehave ever again. Also, I am sorry for embarrassing Pastor Basil. I know that he is like a father to you. Please forgive her this time. Please do it for my brother."August sneered, "Are you done?" Elizabeth replied, "Please August, I am your wife." August dropped the phone. He didn't have time to entertain his wife anymore.Since Elizabeth didn't know how to drive, they stayed in the car for a long time. They were so hungry; she took her phone and called His Mercy restaurant manager, Craig Hall, and asked him to deliver her favourite food to the Martins residence.Mr Hall replied politely, "Mrs Martins, I am not working for the Parker family, and I don't have an obligation to deliver

They arrived at the Martins mansion around 1 pm carrying lots of gifts.The twins had sent their parents the photos of the young couple, Clayton and Hope. They also brought gifts for Mr and Mrs King and for their Goddaughter.The Shelton couple decided to spend the weekend with their Goddaughter. On Sunday morning, Logan looked at his mother and asked, "Mommy, do you mind if I stay here to protect my sister from Aunt Elizabeth and Lily?"His mother shook her head and replied, "The best way to protect your sister is to study hard and become strong. Why don't you come back after you become a lawyer?"Logan nodded his head, his eyes lit up and replied, "I promise to work hard and become strong for my sister."Avery was moved by Logan's words. She smiled brightly at her brothers and said, "I will visit you as soon as I finish my final exams." They
On Monday morning, Aunt Bridgette took her car keys, and then she walked to Avery's bedroom. Avery smiled brightly at her and said, "Good morning, Aunt Bridge. Did you sleep well?"Aunt Bridgette smiled and replied, "Good morning, Sweetheart. I slept well and you?" Avery told her that she slept well. Then she took her school bag. They headed to the ground floor.When they reached the ground floor, Mrs Martins and Lily were in the living room waiting for them. Mrs Martins looked at Bridgette and said, "You don't have to drop Avery at school today. I am accompanying Lily to school, and then I will drop her off as well."Avery looked at Aunt Bridgette, and then they laughed out loud. They ignored Mrs Martins and left the house laughing. Mrs Martins was so embarrassed she asked Lily to follow her to the car.Aiden was already in the car waiting for Lily. He was surprised to see his mother getting in the car because Lily's registration was already done.Aiden looked at his mother with ques
Mr Gray handed over Lily to the Grade 9B class teacher, Mr Sipho Hlophe. He introduced Lily Parker to the class and asked her to sit next to Tiffany Spencer.Tiffany introduced herself smiling and asked, "Lily, why are you joining our school in the third term?"Lily's eyes became red and replied, "My parents passed away recently and my aunt, Avery Martins' mother, moved me here."Tiffany comforted her and said, "My condolences, Lily. I am sorry for your loss. Your cousin is very beautiful, and she is very intelligent."Lily scoffed and replied, "Avery is beautiful indeed, but she has a vicious heart and I hate her. After my parents' funeral, Aunt Elizabeth took me back with her to the Martins residence.However, Avery didn't welcome me into her house. Also, she refused to help me with my studies. I think it's because her family is a little richer than mine. Hence, she looked down on me."Tiffany was shocked when she heard Lily's words. She felt sorry for her new friend and said, "Forge
Her mother rushed to her and tried to kick her while she was down. Avery reacted quickly and managed to dodge her mother's attack. Everything happened so fast.Her mother lost her balance and fell on the broken casserole dish. The broken casserole shards pieced her hand ruthlessly. Blood started dripping on the floor. She felt an excruciating pain in her hand she nearly fainted.Her face was pale and screamed at Aiden, "What are you waiting for? Look at what she did to me. Beat her up until she stops breathing. Don't worry about your father. I will tell him that it was self-defense."Aiden felt like he was in a dream, his mind went blank. Avery kicked the dining table. Aiden and Lily fell down with their chairs.She walked to Lily who was sitting on the floor with a confused expression and slapped her hard across her face.Lily's face was burning, she looked at Avery viciously. She wanted to fight back but when she saw Avery's cold eyes, she decided against it. She was hoping that Aide
Mrs Martins looked at her son with tears in her eyes and replied, "I am sorry for deceiving you, my favourite son. Avery is your sister, and your father didn't threaten to divorce me.When we were at Principal Glen's office, Avery told him that her mother passed away when she was giving birth to her.She cursed me to die. I felt humiliated and embarrassed. Shouldn't I get back to her?Please believe me if I say I didn't know that Bridgette and your father had a father-daughter relationship. Please forgive me."Aiden felt like crying. His mother lied to him several times, but he forgave her. He looked at his mother and said, "Mom, you crossed the line this time and I will never forgive you for lying to me.If I could be given a chance to choose my mother, I would never choose you. You are vicious and evil. You wanted to kill my only sister because of the promises you made to your precious niece.I wish my father could divorce you and marry Bridgette. You are not worthy of being his wife

Mr Martins bade farewell to his senior management, then he followed Clayton.On their way home, Clayton gave Mr Martins a tablet and asked him to watch the surveillance footage. Mr Martins was dumbfounded he wasn't aware that there were surveillance cameras in her house.He was fuming with anger when he saw his eldest son tripping his daughter with his foot. A few seconds later, he laughed out loud and said, "You've trained my daughter well.It is clear to me that my wife wanted to kill my daughter and replace her with Lily. I am so disappointed in Aiden for believing his mother's lies. He chose Lily over his biological sister."When he thought about his daughter nearly being killed by his family, he became suffocated. They drove home in silence.When they arrived home, Mr Martins went straight to his daughter's room. He knocked on the door. Avery said, "Come in." Her e

A few minutes later, the Shelton family private jet landed at the King Shaka International Airport.When Logan saw his big sister, he quickened his pace, but when he saw the man beside her, his steps halted. He was intimidated by his brother-in-law's aura. He decided to wait for his parents.Ethan looked at his brother and asked, "Why are you stopping?" Logan smiled and replied, "I am waiting for you guys."Ethan raised his eyes to meet his brother-in-law's eyes and asked softly, "Why is my brother-in-law's aura so intimidating?"

Sage nodded her head and replied, "Aunt Valeria told me that Avery colluded with other doctors and killed my mother.Why is she alive while my mother is dead? She will pay for every pain she has put me through. I don't have a mother today because of her."Chase was so shocked and said, "Sage, stop spouting nonsense. When your mother passed away, Avery was fifteen years old. Let me tell you the truth about your mother's death.Your grandmother wanted Valeria to marry your father, then she gave your mother medication which accelerated her death. It also causes you to have a brain tumour.The person you are supposed to hate is your maternal grandmother, not Avery. What happened to my sweet Sage? Why did you listen to the Moore family's lies? Don't you have brains?"Sage looked at Chase and replied, "You are lying to me. I don't want you as my doctor anymore. Let me tell you something, my paternal grandmother will never allow me to stay at the Moore mansion.Mark my word she will fetch me
Mr Moore felt humiliated and embarrassed by Dr Forbes' words. He went to the cashier to settle the medical bills. Two nurses wheeled Sage to the ward immediately afterward.Mr Moore went to his daughter's ward and said, "Our granddaughter has been admitted to the hospital; she has a fever." He then told his wife Sage's ward number and said, "Please go and keep our granddaughter company."Mrs Moore looked at her husband puzzled, and asked, "Why didn't you move her to the Taylor family's private ward?" Her husband became upset and replied, "You have no shame, Valery. Didn't the Taylor family sever ties with Sage?"Mrs Moore was fuming with anger, then she took her phone. She dialed Mrs Taylor's number and said, "Hello, Caroline. Sage has been admitted to the hospital because of a fever.Please move her to the Taylor family's private ward." She didn't give her time to respond. She immediately hung up the phone.When Xavier and his wife walked into the living room, they found their mother
A few minutes later, Valeria was wheeled to the private ward. Mr Moore looked at his wife and asked, "Valery, where did you get the money from? Do we have secrets between us?"Valery decided to lie and replied, "Valencia used to give me a monthly allowance when she was still alive. I hid this money for a rainy day." Her husband looked at her for a long time, but he decided not to pursue the matter.When Valeria woke up, she was surprised to see her parents sleeping beside her bed. She screamed when she saw that her legs and her arm were in a cast. Her parents woke up, and her mother asked, "How are you feeling, Sweetheart?"The nurse rushed to Valeria's private ward when she heard the scream. Valeria looked at her mother and asked, "How did I arrive here?" The nurse looked at her and replied, "The paramedics brought you here."Her mother asked, "We were told that you were involved in a car accident. Were you drunk?" Valeria shook her head and replied, "I wasn't drunk, Mom. After I rece
Valeria was so angry that she took her handbag and ran to the parking lot. Unbeknownst to her, Portia was waiting for her. She was sitting in the car playing games on her phone.As soon as she saw Valeria get in her car, Portia asked her brother to follow Valeria's car. Valeria didn't notice the car that was following her. Her heart was in a mess, and she was absent-minded.When they passed the area where there were no streetlights, Wayne overtook Valencia's car, then he stopped his car in front of her car. Valeria tried to swerve her car, but it was too late. She bumped into Wayne's car.Valeria was so scared that she sat in the car until someone knocked on her car's window. She lowered her car window and said, "I am so sorry. It wasn't my intention to bump into your car."Portia looked at her and said, "Get out of your car." Valeria took her phone from her handbag and tried to call her parents, but Portia grabbed her phone and said, "Are you deaf? I said get out of the car."Valeria'
When Sage saw that she couldn't move her father's heart, she looked at her Grandpa with pleading eyes and said, "I was wrong, Grandpa. Please forgive me. I want to change my last name to Taylor."Mrs Moore nodded her head and said, "I agree with your granddaughter, Mr Taylor. Please change her last name to Taylor. I made it clear to Caroline that I would never acknowledge Sage as my granddaughter. Therefore, you cannot force us to raise her."Mr Taylor was so disappointed in the Moore family and said, "It's impossible for Sage to change her last name to Taylor because it was her mother's wish for her to be raised as the Moore family child.Also, I don't believe that your daughter visited my son at work without your encouragement, Mrs Moore. Who told you that my son, Xavier, was born to marry your daughters?Are your daughters worthy of my son? I will never forgive your daughter for disrupting peace in my family. Who gave your daughter the confidence to bully the Taylor family? Are we e
The Moore couple's faces changed when they saw their daughter in the footage. They were more shocked when they saw their daughter ruthlessly slapping her niece. They didn't know that Valeria was so cruel.Mr Taylor senior looked at the Moore couple and asked, "Is this woman your daughter or not?"Mr Moore was so ashamed. He nodded his head and replied, "This is our daughter, Valeria. We were not aware that she had visited her niece. We apologize on her behalf for hurting my granddaughter."Mr Taylor senior sneered, "Where were you for the past five years? Did the Taylor family stop you from visiting your granddaughter?"Mr Moore was so ashamed and replied, "No. We decided to stay out of Sage's life because her mother lied to us."Mr Taylor senior looked at Mrs Moore and said, "You denied receiving a call from your daughter. However, in the footage, your daughter was talking with someone on the phone, and she called her 'Mom', weren't you?"Mrs Moore shook her head and replied, "I don't
Mrs Taylor wiped her tears, then she took her phone and called Mrs Moore. When it was connected; she said, "Valery, your daughter has assaulted my granddaughter.Please come to the Taylor mansion urgently. Should you fail to come; I will press assault charges against Valeria." She was so angry she didn't give Mrs Moore time to respond. Then she hung up.Mrs Moore was so scared of the Taylor family's wrath against her beloved daughter. Her son-in-law was ruthless. He put the Moore Group on its knees. She asked her husband to accompany her to the Taylor mansion.On their way to the Taylor residence, she called her daughter, Valeria, several times but the calls went straight to voicemail.At the Taylor mansion, Avery went to their bedroom and came back with the ointment. She gave it to her husband and said, "Honey, please apply this ointment to her face. It will help with the swelling."Xavier took the ointment and thanked his wife. Then she took Sage's medicine for pain and gave it to he
Xavier and the others were shocked when they heard Sage scream. He ran to her daughter's room. On the way, he made a silent prayer. He was praying for his beloved wife to be safe from his evil daughter.He walked to his wife and took her in his arms and asked, "What happened, my stunning wife?" Then he checked her from head to toe to see if she was injured. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she wasn't hurt.Sage nearly fainted with anger when she saw her beloved father ignoring her and hugging the evil woman. Avery looked at her husband with tears in her eyes and replied, "Sage is framing me. I didn't touch her."At that moment, Grandpa Taylor, her father-in-law, and her mother-in-law entered the room. They looked at Sage's swelling face, then Grandpa Taylor asked, "What happened, my granddaughter in love?"Avery looked at her grandfather-in-law and replied, "Grandpa, Sage is accusing me of killing her mother. Also, someone beat her up, but she is framing me.She said she
