On Sunday afternoon, Clayton went to the airport to fetch Mr Martins. He greeted him politely and took his suitcase. 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
August looked at her coldly and replied, "I will never forgive you for touching my bottom line. You are evil and heartless. You tried to kill your flesh and blood to accommodate your niece.Why don't you go to prison and stay together for a couple of years?

She rushed into his room without even knocking. She paced up and down without uttering a word.Aiden was sitting on the sofa in deep thought. He raised his eyes and looked at his mother with questioning eyes. His mother wiped her tears and said, "Your father has pressed charges against us. We are going to jail for attempted murder."Aiden was dumbfounded. How was he going to survive in jail? How about his studies? He put his hands on his head. He felt like screaming. His mother had destroyed his life.At that moment, his phone started ringing. He looked at the caller ID and sai
In the blink of an eye, Mrs Martins and the others had been in police custody for a week. On Monday at 12 pm, Chief Smith asked the police officer to release Aiden and Lily. They were surprised to be released before appearing before court.When they walked outside the police custody, they saw the family driver waiting for them. They rushed to the car; they were so embarrassed because they were still wearing the same clothes, they were wearing the day they were arrested.On their way home, Lily was fuming about being detained for the whole week without evidence.She looked at Aiden and said, "Aiden, we have to sue the state for arresting us unlawfully without evidence. Why is my aunt not with us? Was she released earlier than us?Aiden looked at her expressionless and replied, "Lily, one day you will regret not choosing Aunt Mia as your guardian. Who told you that there is no evidence? It was not my father's intention to have us arrested.He wanted to teach us a lesson and to learn from
Chase Forbes was standing outside Valencia's ward waiting for his best friend, Xavier, to come out. He had sent a text message to Xavier asking him to meet him outside the ward.He decided against entering Valencia's ward because he didn't want to upset his best friend's wife. She looked down on her husband's friends and she was cold towards them.A few minutes later, Xavier walked out of the ward. He was wearing a custom-made gray suit. The two buttons of his shirt were unfastened exposing his beautiful collarbone. He was elegant and extremely handsome.He smiled brightly at his best friend, and they hugged each other and said, "I was having a Zoom meeting with my managers. What's up?"Chase looked at him with a smile and asked, "How is Valencia doing?" Xavier stopped smiling and replied, "I believe she will be better after she gives birth to our daughter because she will be able to take medication.Dr Smith indicated that there is a 40% chance of survival should she go for surgery.

Xavier thanked his mother, then he kissed his wife and left his wife's ward.Mrs Taylor looked at Valencia with eyes full of sadness and asked, "How are you feeling, my daughter-in-law?" Valencia smiled and replied, "I don't feel any pain, Mom. My mother gave me medication and it is working wonders."Her mother-in-law looked at her with questioning eyes and asked, "Are you supposed to take any medication while you are pregnant?"Valencia shook her head and replied, "My mother's doctor told her that the medication will not affect the baby."Her mother-in-law was not convinced and said, "Let me see your medication. How long have you been taking this medication? Did you ask Dr Smith if there are no side effects?"Valencia gave her mother-in-law the medication and replied, "I started taking it when I was twenty weeks pregnant
At the Stone's residence, they were eating lunch. Mr Jimmy Stone and his family were coming back from church. His church Pastor asked the congregation to pray for everyone who is doing Grade 12.Gabriella looked at her parents and said, "Dad, Mom, Avery invited me to the Martins mansion during the exams. She will help me with my studies should I encounter any challenges."Since Gabriella's father, Jimmy Stone, was working for the Martins Group, it didn't seem appropriate for his daughter to stay at the Martins mansion.Her father looked at his wife for help, then his wife smiled at their daughter and said, "Honey, why don't you send Miss Martins the text message or call her when you don't understand that particular subject?I am sure she will be able to help you over the phone. Do you need to stay in her house?"Gabriella told her parents that if they didn't allow her to stay at the Martins mansion, she would invite Avery to stay at her house.How could they allow Miss Martins to stay
During the week, Dr Smith called Mrs Taylor regarding the test results. Mrs Taylor took her husband and went to the hospital. Dr Smith was waiting for them in his office.He greeted them politely and said, "Mrs Taylor, the medication that young Mrs Taylor was taking is harmful to the baby. It will cause the baby to have brain damage.Also, it accelerated the life span of young Mrs Taylor. I don't think she will live more than three months after she gives birth to her daughter."The Taylor couple was so shocked, they couldn't believe their ears. Caroline looked at her husband with tears in her eyes. Why didn't she listen to her father-in-law when she told her that Valery was not a good person?It was clear to her that the Moore family was preparing for their daughter to take over their eldest daughter's position as Xavier's wife. She regretted having Valery as her friend. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret.Mr Taylor took his phone and called his son. When it was connected
A few hours later, her parents were wheeled into her ward. Tiffany was shocked when she saw her father in the hospital bed. She tried to go to her father's bed, but her lower abdomen was too painful. She couldn't move her body.Mr Spencer sat on the bed and looked at his daughter with sadness in his eyes. He couldn't believe his ears that his precious daughter had lied to them with a straight face.After the surgery, Mrs Spencer was sent to her husband's ward. He was shocked when he saw his beloved wife's injury.

Then Mr Spencer asked the nurses to move them to their daughter's ward.Tiffany looked at her father with eyes full of concern and asked, "Daddy, what happened to you?" Her father ignored her question and asked, "Tiffany, is it true that you met Jordan at the Bennet Group Celebration Par
Mrs Spencer was dumbfounded when she heard her daughter's words. She looked at her daughter and asked, "What did you say, Tiffany? Didn't you tell us that you fell in love with Jordan at first sight? Were you lying to us?"Tiffany looked at her mother with tears streaming down her face and replied, "I am sorry, Mom. I lied to you and Dad. I met Jordan for the first time when we were attending the Bennet Group Celebration Party.Aunt Elizabeth promised to give me a project should I succeed in breaking Jordan and Avery up. However, she ended up giving me five million rands as compensation to cover the engagement banquet and the wedding expenses."Mrs Spencer nearly fainted with anger. She was reminded of Xavier's words when he said, 'There would come a time when she wished her family had never befriended Mrs Martins, but it will be too late'.It was clear that Elizabeth took their friendship for granted. She felt chest pains, then she fainted. Fortunately, the nurses were standing besid
Tiffany looked at Mrs Bennet in a different light. She was lying through her teeth. She wiped her tears and said, "Aunt Tess, stop lying. I was already awake when I left the emergency room.When you stopped my mother from taking care of me, I realized that you were up to no good. Then I decided to switch on the video camera on my phone.Then I closed my eyes on purpose to catch you in the act. You are evil-hearted, Aunt Tess." Then she cried sorrowfully in her mother's arms. She took her phone and immediately called the police.Mrs Spencer nearly fainted with anger. Mrs Bennet was an ingrate. She rushed to her and slapped her hard across her face. Mrs Bennet was caught off guard. She didn't dodge on time. Her face became numb.Mrs Bennet looked at Mrs Spencer viciously and said, "Who do you think you are? Because of the little money that you have, do you think you could hit me? I tolerated you when I was staying at your house. Enough is enough."Then she slapped Mrs Spencer twice on h
A few minutes later, Jordan told his parents that he was going out to get fresh air. He had been telling himself that it was impossible for Avery to move on since she loved him so much. He felt like crying, but he managed to hold his tears back.When he heard Avery telling everyone that she stopped loving him at the Bennet Group Celebration Party, he felt suffocated. He always thought that Avery would wait for him, or she would agree to be his mistress.Unfortunately, it was his wishful thinking. Deep in his heart, he regretted treating Avery the way he did, but he was arrogant to ask for forgiveness. He had thought no one would take his place in Avery's heart.Mr Bennet followed behind his son. He was scared that his only son might commit suicide. His beloved fiancée betrayed him at the altar in front of their friends and neighbours.While they were in the waiting room, Mr Bennet logged into social media. He found that his son's wedding had been uploaded on the internet. As a result,
Mrs Spencer was taken aback when she heard Xavier's words. She looked at him and replied, "I can't make decisions about company affairs. Then I don't agree with your proposal."Xavier looked at her coldly and said, "Mrs Spencer, I am not asking you, but I am telling you. Just pray that my wife was spouting nonsense because if she was speaking the truth, please be mentally prepared."Then Xavier turned to Mrs Bennet and said, "I have seen shameless people, but I have never encountered anyone as shameless as you.My wife has fed and clothed you for the past four years, but she has never received any gratitude from you.I believe that even the dress that you are wearing now was bought by my wife, but you don't feel any shame. All this time, I was wondering who your son took after for being ungrateful. It is clear to me that he took after you."Mrs Bennet felt humiliated and embarrassed. Her neighbours were shocked when they heard Xavier's words because Mrs Bennet told them that the stunn

Mrs Bennet told herself that she would move in with her beloved son.Mrs Bennet had invited her neighbours from the township to witness her beloved son marrying a Spencer family heiress. She used Jordan's money he received from His Grace Hotel, as a refund to hire taxis for his neighbours.Since Jordan was banned from having a wedding at His Grace Hotel, Tiffany's father heard that the Durban Civic Centre was available on the 30th of March, so he booked it.The wedding ceremony was going to be held at 12 pm.

After the meeting, the Shelton family and the Ford family bade goodbye to everyone. Then Wayne took them to the airport. The Evans family left shortly afterwards.Caroline was so worried about her sister that she rushed home to take care of her. When she arrived home, Caia was locking herself in the guest room. Caroline knocked on the door, and then Caia opened the door.She smiled at her sister and said, "Big sis, I decided to be on three days of fasting. I need clarity from the Lord." Caroline hugged her baby sister and replied, "I am so proud of you, Caia. I have faith that the Lord will come through for you."At His Grace Hotel, Mr Martins bade goodbye to the Taylor family, and then he left.

Then he gave him the room key card.August took the room key card and replied, "Thank you, my in-law." August turned to his wife and said, "Elizabeth, let's go to the Presidential suite to rest."Elizabeth looked at her husband with disdain in her eyes and replied, "I hate handouts the most. If you want to sleep here, go ahead, but please don't involve me and my family. I am not related to your daughter and the Taylor family."Then she turned to her son and said, "Aiden, please take us home. Didn't Avery tell her husband that we are not important to her?"
