“Zayn? Why mom?” Danica turned her gaze on Samantha and asked.

“Of course,Zayn is the only option we have left. He's still your fiance, and he won't watch you go down the drain without offering a hand of help,” Samantha suggests.

"Mom, you are aware of who Zayn is; he'll never put his reputation at stake to help us out. Just cross him out of the alternatives we have left,” Danica dejectedly said.

“Fine! That leaves us with no other option then”. Samantha took her phone and left the room,leaving Danica in a daze.

Danica let her mind wander for a while before finally concluding.

She angrily picked up her phone and called Joanna once more. “What are you doing,giving me the wrong address? Bethany doesn't live here!" Danica yelled into the phone. "Calm down,will you? I gave you the right address. Just ask around for her; maybe she went for a walk. Joanna was certain it was the right address. Danica didn’t have much patience, but there was nothing her anger could do. In the end,she just gave up and went knocking on all the neighbors' doors in search of Bethany. After knocking on a door softly,Danica waited as the neighbor tried to open the door. “Hello ma’am, Do you happen to know where the neighbor,Bethany Burnett, went? I’m a friend of hers. I've come to see her.” Danica Lord through her teeth with a warm smile on her face. The neighbor couldn’t be bothered. She seemed to be in

Matilda sat down at the tea table and sipped from her tea before pulling out an expensive dress they bought. It was a long,slender dress with peacock feathers designs on the side and Diamond studs on the neckline. It was so beautiful and looked like an image straight out of magazine.

    “Mommy,what are you doing, sneaking around and eavesdropping on Aunty and her second grandma? Are you stalking them?" Jordan glared at Danica’s face and asked. Danica was so shocked that her legs shook. She didn’t take caution and ended up alerting Matilda and Brendan. “Jordan,what do you think you are doing here? Shouldn’t you be studying in your room? How dare you sneak up on me like that? Danica pulled his little hand and pinched him a little. Jordan didn’t keep quiet this time, as he asked. “When did I sneak up on you,mommy? I was only here to tell you I’m going to play with my friends tomorrow for a little study time. Don't wait around for me. The little man was on the verge of tears as he said this. His eyes were red from unshed tears. Jordan couldn't understand why Danica never loved him, no matter how much he tried to get in her good books. She hated him to the bone, and his little heart was broken. “Do whatever you must! Who cares if you live or die? In the end, I'll

    Jenna had been the only friend that Jordan warmed up to in the past few months. He never got along with the other kids since he was cold and aloof. However,Jenna managed to keep him on her toes. It felt sad to see him so miserable. “Who said you need your mommy’s permission to go see a friend?” Matilda suddenly asked,seeing the sad expression on his small face. Hearing this,Jordan was puzzled. He lifted his head and looked at Matilda questioningly. As if knowing what’s on his mind, Matilda quickly explained what she meant. “What I meant is,you can always go play with your friend at her house after school; your mommy is never home anyway, and if there is an issue, Grandma will definitely cover up for you,my little prince!” She gently pinched his cheeks and made him smile. Brendan added,If you show her mommy how much you missed Jenna and convince her to send Jenna back to your school, I'm sure she’ll listen to you. You are so adorable; no one would be able to resist your charm,rig

He said,she didn’t show up to the meeting” “And her friend,Roseanne didn’t show up as well? Did you even try to coerce her into coming?” Zayn’s heart started to tremble.

    “Danica, what were you thinking? Are you courting death?" In the living room of the Medina family’s mansion,Samantha’s angry voice rang through the roof. She was so angry that her face turned pale. “If you didn't care about your life, you should have taken a second chance to think about others! What were you thinking about getting on Zayn’s bad books?” she asked. Danica, on the other hand, looked calm and unbothered while watching her raging, angry mother. Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Samantha was infuriated. She angrily picked up a vase and threw it across the room. Clattering! Danica was shocked. She hopped on her feet and glared at Samantha nervously. “Why are you so angry, mom? Calm down and don't get worked up by this matter!” Danica ruffled her hair affectionately and turned away from Samantha. Samantha was dumbfounded and left speechless by her audacity.

    It was obvious that Zayn was enraged by what she had said.“You’re still trying to justify your actions at this time? What kind of thoughts do you have running through your head?” Zayn looked as if he was going to choke her immediately if she said something wrong. “Zayn,listen,I did not frame Bethany Quest for anything. I’m telling the truth; just listen to me!” Danica clenched her fists and emphasized her words with her head held high. Zayn thought that Danica was indeed daring. She dared to argue, even though she was not in a position to speak or fight for anything. Nonetheless, the man's handsome face was covered by a layer of frost. He lifted his icy glare and peered at Danica. "Really, huh? Alright, what evidence do you have to prove your claims, or do you want me to believe your assertion without reasons?” Danica was stunned, and she subconsciously curled her lips. She had anticipated that he would ask her to prove her claims beyond a reasonable doubt, and she was prepare

But soon she thought of something else and slowly touched on these words, revealing a frightening smile.

    Once Zayn left, they turned to look at each other with complicated gazes. “Why would Zayn hurriedly leave in the middle of an important family meal? What was so urgent that he couldn't care less about Grandpa’s health before dashing off? Who knows if Zayn truly cares about Grandpa!”Joanna broke the silence with her rhetorical questions.Even though it sounded as if she was worried about the old man, she was simply trying to ignite the burning flame in his heart.She could vividly remember that Mr.Meyer Sr still held a grudge against Zayn for what happened to Giselle Medina.
