Erica was threatened with her life, so she reluctantly accompanied Mrs. Lani and lawyer Martin to the bank. Ever since leaving Watson's house, Erica has been constantly thinking that this could be an opportunity for her to escape or seek help. Erica had to make the most of this chance, and she believed that all she needed to do was obediently pretend to cooperate and then seize the moment when they were off guard to counterattack.

Currently, Erica, Mrs. Lani, and the lawyer are inside the bank. They no longer need Kora to be present because their plan has changed before arriving at the bank. Instead of transferring the inheritance to Kora's name from Erica's, they will bring Erica to the bank to withdraw the entire inheritance amount. This resolves the difficulties related to paperwork and legal procedures. Moreover, doing so will raise fewer suspicions than transferring the inheritance to Kora.

A quick observation reveals that both Mrs. Lani and the lawyer appear very rushed. It's as

    As if sensing what the director was thinking, Mrs. Lani instinctively got a little scared. Fortunately, she didn't let her insecurities show."What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Mrs. Lani gathered enough courage to break the silence as the bank manager looked at her."May I ask what you are, Miss Erica?" The director asked the question with suspicion.It was a bit surprising to be asked a question, but Mrs. Lani was adept at handling psychology and knew how to respond."I am Erica's current guardian, Lani Taylor. My husband is Mr. Lagan Watson's younger brother."Saying that Mrs. Lani opened her bag and took out some necessary documents. She put it on the table, then gently pushed it towards the director."This is my identity document. As well as my husband's."Because she had prepared in advance, Mrs. Lani had something to say when asked, making her appear very confident. The director picked up and examined the papers that Mrs. Lani had just provided."I see. Where's your husband?" Af

    "What is it?" Martin tried to stay calm and continued probing, "What are the conditions to receive the inheritance?"As a representative lawyer, Martin was demonstrating his duty to his client. He first sought to understand the difficulties and then found ways to resolve them."We need the heir to provide the key and password that Lagan Watson gave them in order to access his estate," the director emphasized slowly. He didn't forget to observe the reactions of all three guests sitting across from him.Upon hearing this, Mr. Martin somewhat grasped the situation. However, Mrs. Lani still didn't understand. As for Erica, she wasn't concerned about this matter and just wanted to escape as soon as possible."What the hell are you talking about?" Ms. Lani has difficulty processing information and feels confused by the problem."Exactly, only the person to whom Lagan Watson gave the key and the password should have access to his property." The director repeats the information fully and clear

    After the incident, and with unexpected outcomes, Erica initially thought that Mrs. Lani would not let her off easily for running away. She believed that Mrs. Lani would surely track her down to continue causing trouble and threatening her. However, contrary to Erica's worries and anxieties, Mrs. Lani remained completely silent. This led Erica to speculate that perhaps Mrs. Lani and Mr. Martin were devising another plan to obtain the money. Realizing that Erica was utterly useless to them, they no longer needed her. If that were the case, Erica would feel relieved and could confidently return to her normal daily life. Today, Erica decided to return to school after several unexplained absences. Erica hoped that the school authorities would not inquire about the reason for her prolonged absence from classes for over a week. However, Erica's hopes were quickly shattered, and the reality turned out to be even worse. An unexpected event occurred, something that Erica had never anticipated.

    After a brief pause, allowing Erica to express her frustration, the man spoke calmly: "Listen, Erica. Right and wrong, lies and truth—that's not the point I'm addressing here." "So what are you saying then?" Erica furrowed her brows with suspicion. "Isn't that important? We need to clarify things. I've been unjustly accused. For the sake of my future, I need..." "Being in the position of a school leader, what I care about is the reputation and image of the university," the principal interrupted, casually admitting, "If your incident reaches the parents' ears, it will undoubtedly create a wave of great anger. Not to mention the pressure from public opinion. All of it will sink you to the bottom of the abyss. And, of course, it will affect the future of the school. Do you understand what I'm trying to convey?" Erica fell silent at the question. Observing her reaction, the man proceeded to share words of wisdom: "Erica, let's assume you are right. The incident is not as accused. So

    At this moment, in company AB, a subsidiary of the JK Group, the meeting with the business partner has just concluded. The CEO of the company, Ansel Brown, and his assistant, who also serves as his personal lawyer, are on their way back to their private office."Ansel, what are your plans? Are you going to attend the Aberdeen party?" Nika Curs just sat down on the sofa and immediately reminded him of an important matter: "It's the wedding reception of Aber's daughter.""I don't know yet; I'm still undecided," Ansel replied wearily, sinking into the chair after taking off his coat and hanging it on the rack next to the door."Undecided about who to go with?" Nika inquired, "Why do you seem so down and have a pale complexion?""I had trouble sleeping last night," Ansel admitted honestly. "What happened? Did you have an argument with your girlfriend?" Nika teased her boss."No, it's not that. The issue arises from the company's new project," Ansel clarified so that Nika wouldn't assume s

    "I sincerely apologize, sir. It was not intentional. I hope you're not injured."Erica spoke sincerely, even bowing to Ansel. Despite being startled by the situation, she maintained her professionalism. Unfortunately, it seemed that Ansel wasn't paying attention to Erica at this moment. ‘Oh no, I might have my salary deducted." Erica couldn't help but worry at the thought. Meanwhile, Ansel sighed in disappointment as he looked down at his expensive clothes, which were soaked and smelled of champagne."Are you okay, Ansel?" Nika quickly approached Ansel and expressed her concern.The people near the scene were all looking at Ansel with curious eyes. Fortunately, the accident didn't draw the attention of the party host. The incident occurred in an area close to the entrance where fewer people gathered. If it had happened in the center or near influential individuals, Ansel would have had to deal with inquiries, concerns, and apologies that might have lacked sincerity from those people.

    Nika turned to ask Ansel. "Ansel, do you perceive that young lady running in pursuit of our vehicle?"Upon hearing your words, Ansel turned to look behind the car. Indeed, Ansel saw Erica running towards them, shouting something incessantly."I will stop the car to see what's going on," Nika suggested. "We never know; it might be something important." "Who knows? What if we're mistaken? Maybe the girl is chasing after a different car," Ansel shared his perspective."Look, there's no other car behind us." Ansel surprised Nika with his astute observation."Well, it's up to you," Ansel responded indifferently. He wasn't confident about his decision, so he will follow your lead.Without uttering a word, Nika swiftly maneuvered the car to the roadside and brought it to a halt. He then patiently awaited Erica's arrival, who was running towards them. While Nika appeared enthusiastic about finding out what was happening, Ansel seemed completely uninterested, not even bothering to glance at Er

    "You crazy lunatic!" Ansel blurted it out mercilessly, scolding Erica. "How dare you curse me? Who gave you that right? Are you a witch or something? A troublemaker?""I didn't curse you," Erica argued back, "and I don't have any ill intentions towards you either.""If you say I'm going to die, isn't that a curse?" Ansel asked angrily. "If you have good intentions, you should wish me good things instead of those nonsense things.""What I'm saying is true. I am warning you." "Shut up!" Ansel shouted, cutting off Erica's rambling. "I don't want to hear any vile words coming out of your wicked mouth. Get lost and stay out of my sight."Ansel turned to Nika and requested, "Nika, start the car. We shouldn't talk to a crazy person like her. What a waste of time.""But..." Nika said hesitantly. "Hurry up." Seeing Nika hesitate, Ansel angrily shouted, "Before I lose control and resort to physically assaulting this malicious-mouthed woman."Under the intense and threatening atmosphere created

Today, Erica didn't need to say anything; she just came to attend the party, eat her fill, and then leave. That's what her mother-in-law assured Erica before entering the event."Hey, I'm talking to you," Kora said angrily. "Are you deaf or mute?"Erica pretended not to hear and calmly walked over to the other side to get a piece of chocolate cake."Mom, look, Erica really doesn't care about us." Kora turned to her mother and complained. "Why did she show up here? She's ruining our dinner.""I will handle her," Mrs. Lani declared fiercely, advancing towards Erica."Hey Erica, have you forgotten about what happened last time at the shopping center?

Surprised and filled with doubt, Kora stammered, asking for clarification.Instead of answering Kora's question, Erica politely added:"We'll see you both in court. Now, we have to go.""Let's go, Mom, or we'll be late for lunch," Erica said to Mrs. Hani."Okay."The mother and daughter walked hand in hand, leaving the store. There was no reason to stop them.

    "Who are you saying is the abandoned child?"All eyes turned towards Mrs. Hani as she approached. Erica's mother-in-law stood beside Erica. Mrs. Hani's haughty gaze glared directly at Kora. Mrs. Hani had been present for a while, but upon seeing Erica talking to the two individuals, she thought they were Erica's acquaintances and didn't want to disturb them. Given that Erica also had her own private social relationships, Mrs. Hani needed to respect that. However, Mrs. Hani was mistaken; they were not Erica's friends. Upon hearing what Kora and Kora's mother were saying about Erica, Mrs. Hani couldn't bear it any longer and had to step forward to intervene."Are you the one who just spoke correctly?""Yes, it's me. So what?" Kora replied with a defiant and disrespectful attitude towards the adult. Immediately, Mrs. Hani swung her hand and slapped Kora, causing her to feel a painful sting.
