Earlier in the day, Williams woke up and got ready for work. On his way out of the house, he recalled how he had fought with Hailey and stopped. Regardless of everything, she was still his sister, and he did not want them to be on bad terms.He went back upstairs and walked towards her room, wanting to talk to her. However, when he got to her door, he overheard her making a phone call, saying, "I want her dead! And I do not just want her shot to death; I want Paige to suffer before she dies, and oh, no one should be able to find her dead body."Williams's eyes widened in surprise. He recalled how she had said yesterday that she was going to go after Paige, and no one would find Paige's body. At the time, he had thought she was merely bluffing, but now he realized she was being serious.He walked away from the door and went back to his room. He began to pace up and down, thinking of what to do. He knew Hailey was very desperate, and no matter what he told her, she was not going to stop
Paige happily hugged Melvin and said, "Thank you so much, Dad. To be very honest, I think I'd be happy if I had armed bodyguards. What happened today really scared me. I'm surprised because Zach said I was saved by his friend. If he didn't come when he did, I don't know what would've happened.""I just thought of something," Zach interrupted their conversation.They both stared at him."What?" Paige asked."Why don't we travel out, let's say for like a week? We can go somewhere beautiful and peaceful. You can just call it a little vacation or getaway; we'll have fun, and you can forget about the bad things that have happened lately. I promise I'm going to make it memorable. That's if it's fine by you, Mr. Lawson."Paige's father nodded, "Of course, why would I be against it? As long as my princess is fine with the idea, I will also be happy about it."Zach nodded, "Okay, it's a done deal. I will start making preparations for it."After Paige's father left, Zach was speaking with his
Paige had just taken her bath and came out of the bathroom. She put on her night dress and stood in front of the mirror, staring at the scar on her forehead which had been plastered. At this time, her father knocked and told her that Williams was there to see her."Williams? Okay, I'll be with him soon."She put on a jacket and came out of the room to meet Williams, who seemed uncomfortable as he sat on the couch."Are you okay?" She asked him. "You don't look too good.""Ohh, I'm fine," Williams replied, forcing an awkward smile. "I just had a little too much to drink, and I think it's messing with me. You, on the other hand, seem to be looking very good. I mean, after what happened, who would've thought that your face would be glowing?"Paige laughed, "Glowing? I wouldn't say so. To be honest, what happened really scared me. But I guess I have to be strong, right? I cannot let Mr. Zach or my dad worry too much, and I can't continue to be weak. I will not let this experience get the
Melvin and Lillian went back home. At this time, Paige was sitting in her room quietly, imagining how her trip with Zach would be. She really needed it, and she knew that it would be an experience she wouldn't forget.When her dad knocked on her door, she said, "Yes, come in."He went into her room with Lillian by his side. When she saw the both of them, Paige got up and smiled."Miss Lillian, welcome back. This is the first time I'm seeing you both together in my room, and smiling.""Yes," Melvin said. "Well, I came to give you the good news. Lillian has agreed to marry me, and first thing tomorrow morning, we're going to the marriage court to sign the certificate.""Really? Are you both really going to get married?" Paige asked excitedly.They both nodded, and Lillian smiled, "Yes, Paige, I'm going to get married to your father."Paige squealed in excitement and hugged her dad."Congratulations, congratulations, Dad."She also hugged Lillian and said, "Miss Lillian, thank you so muc
That night, Zach could barely get any sleep. He kept calling different sources to help him track down the guys who had tried to kill Paige because he wanted to get them.He had obtained footage of what happened, but unfortunately, the guys all had masks on. Even the ones who were working for Williams also had masks on. The only face that was exposed was William's face, and he could see the distress on William's face as he ran to Paige's side to rescue her.Seeing how Paige had fallen into that pool of dirty water caused his heart to bleed, and be even more determined to get the culprit.After informing all his different contacts to help him find Paige, he finally relaxed and made the arrangement for their one-week getaway trip together.When it was morning, he went to the hospital to get the results of the DNA test.Immediately, the doctor saw him, he smiled."I was just about to call you, Mr. Fletcher. The results are ready.""Okay, tell me, is it mother and daughter?" Zach asked.Th
After dismissing Anthony, Zach sat down and began to think about everything Anthony had told him; Paige's mother was Miss Lilian's best friend and they had been so close. Why would she want to harm her? She had her own wealth, she was even richer than Vanessa, who had trusted her so much that she gave her the documents of her company. So what could have happened? Or could it be that Vanessa deliberately chose to disappear?That did not make any sense. Why would she leave her daughter behind and disappear? She loved Paige so much that she was willing to get married to a man she did not love just so Paige would have a complete family. Why would she then abandon Paige?If everything Anthony had told him was the truth, then Lilian was the culprit, and it was time he questioned her.What was she up to? Why would she go to live in Lilian's house? If she was someone who could make Paige's mother disappear, then she wasn't so weak, so why?It occurred to him that the only reason Lilian could
When Paige and Melvin got back home, he happily said to her, "I should quickly get ready and leave for work," while she went into her room and remained inside. When Lilian arrived, however, she went up to her room as well and couldn't stop wondering what could have gone wrong.Melvin came down a few minutes later and informed Paige that he was leaving for work. She walked him to the door and said, "Seeing the way you're happy makes me feel that I did the right thing by stopping the wedding.""Of course you did," he replied. "You have no idea how happy I am. Thank you for not letting me get married."As he walked away, Paige sighed and went back to her room. She was waiting because Zach had told her he was coming over, but she could not help but feel guilty. It was her fault that her father almost made a mistake. Although she didn't know why Zach asked her to call off the wedding, she knew that if he stopped the wedding, he must have had a good reason."Could I have misjudged Miss Lil
After leaving Zach, Paige called her father and he confirmed that he was at work. She drove to his company to meet him. When she went into the office, Melvin noticed from her expression that she was troubled and asked, "Is everything okay? Does your forehead still hurt?"Paige shook her head, "No, I'm fine, Dad. It's just that I don't know how you'd react to what I want to say.""Go on, I'm listening," he encouraged."Well, I was wondering if I could go stay with Mr. Zach for a few days, maybe three days or one week. I know it's a lot, but.....""Yes, you can," her father replied. She stared at him in surprise, "Just like that? Won't you ask me...""Come on, Paige, I told you I was once eighteen years old too, and I trust Zach a lot. He's a very responsible man. I know that if you're going to stay with him for a few days, you have your reasons. If you want to tell me your reasons, I'll appreciate it. But if you're not comfortable talking about it, I will...""No, why won't I be comfo
