Noah remained silent as he stared at Nathan for a few seconds. He didn't think he needed to give him an answer.

"Well, that's between Ava and me," Noah replied.

The response made Nathan more pissed, but before he could give a response, Ava stepped in and stopped them.

"Can we focus on the slides, Daphne? Sorry if we interrupted?" Ava said.

"Sure, it's, okay, thank you, Ava," Elliot said, standing up as Mick continued the presentation.

After about thirty minutes, they had gone through all the slides and had narrowed all the designs to a final five.

"Now, down to the final selection," Bella muttered, a victory smile on her face.

"Yeah," Nathan muttered, checking his watch as he stood up.

"Wait, you're going already?" Elliot asked in surprise.

"Yes, I've got a meeting to attend," Nathan replied.

"Okay, thank you so much for coming," Elliot replied.

"No problem, bye everyone," Nathan stated as he walked out the door.

"Bye." Everyone echoed in response except for Ava.

    "Okay, so let's now select who the winner is out of this final five selection." Elliot said"Yeah, and I also think this is something you guys are capable of doing," Noah said as he stood up."What? Do you want to leave too?" Bella asked, raising her brows at him."Yes, I've got to get to the store before going to the hospital," Noah said."I really appreciate you dropping by, man," Elliot said, shaking his hands."You're welcome. I must say, I'm impressed by the designs I've seen so far, and I know that after production, my store would gladly showcase your work," Noah said, smiling."Thank you, Noah," Bella said.When they were alone again, Mick asked, "Okay, so who do we select?""It's a good thing the names of the fashion houses are not included in the submission," Ava muttered."Yes, it is, at least to everyone of us making the selection," Elliot said with a mischievous smile."Okay, I'll go first," Daphe stated abruptly, standing up from her seat and walking over to the screen."

    Elliot looked from Daphne to Ava and then at Bella before sighing deeply.“I will look over all the submissions and then get back to you all.” Elliot finally stated."Okay, I think that’s good,” Mick interjected, hoping there was no more argument between the ladies.“Sure, that’s good. I guess I can be on my way now,” Daphne said, standing up abruptly.“Now?” Elliot asked“Of course, aren't we done here?.” Daphne asked with raised brows.“Okay, Hmm, I’ll see you out,” Elliot replied, standing up too.“I’ll wrap up here and then send you all the reports,” Mick stated.“Thanks,” Elliot replied, then turned to Ava and said, “Thanks for coming, Ava.”Ava smiled and nodded as she responded, “It was a wonderful experience; thank you for inviting me.”Daphne walked out of the room, not bothering to even say goodbye.“See you around Elliot,” Bella said, as she closed her system too.“Good work today, Bella; it’s great you are on the team,” Elliot said before going after Daphne.“Is this your

    "You don't need to know; this time I'm going to call the shot," Tyler said.The door of the elevator opened, and Tyler strolled out. His face lit up with a smile as he imagined his plan in his mind."Don't do anything stupid, Tyler; we have a lot at stake than you can imagine. Don't go and do anything that will get on Nathan's nerve," Wyatt said.Tyler shrugged and replied, "You don't need to worry; it's going to work out better than you would ever imagine," Tyler said, his grin widening."Whatever you've got in mind of your should not put us into more trouble, Tyler," Wyatt stated.He opened his office door and walked in to see Clara sitting in the office."What troublle?" Clara asked."Mom? What are you doing here?" Tyler asked as he walked into the office after Wyatt.Clara narrowed her eyes as she asked Wyatt, "What did he do this time around?""Mom!" Tyler stated in exaperationClara stared at Wyatt; her eyes narrowed as she waited for him to give her an answer."It's not what yo

    "Nathan, the research team is ready for you," Mike said as soon as Nathan walked into his office.Nathan's face was cold as he walked over to his desk.Mike realized something must have gone wrong during the meeting with his father."Should I tell them the meeting is postponed?" Mike asked"Yes," Nathan grumbled.He stood with his back to Mike as he stared out the window of his office.He could hear behind him as Mike spoke on the phone."Get me a file on Tyler's project," Nathan said as soon as Mike ended his call.Mike looked puzzled as he asked, "Which of his projects? You don't bother with them because he never really ends up launching anything.""Turns out; he is supposed to in two weeks," Nathan murmured."I'll get it right away," Mike replied.Nathan stood there, silent for a few seconds before he said, "Get me any file related to whatever this project is.""Okay, right away," Mike responded as he walked to the door."Also," Nathan said just before Mike could walk out the door.

    Timothy paused, bent his head to the side as he thought about what he was about to say."Did Thomas go home with Nora?" Timothy asked."Yes, he did Mr. Crawford," Mrs. Chucks replied hurriedly."Then who was that?" Timothy asked as they walked down the stairs.He had not seen the face of the women, but he had caught sight of the young boy who looked so much like Thomas."Hmm, that was a visiting student who came for the summer classes to prepare for the upcoming competition," Mrs. Chucks explained as they neared the entrance.Pitts and Amber remained standing, uncertain about what to do."I see," Timothy muttered, and he stopped in front of the teachers."Yes, their parents came late; that was the reason they were on the premises till this hour," Mrs. Chucks quickly added."Okay," Mr. Crawford muttered.Although he didn't like children staying late in the school, he had no interest in discussing it further."You must be the new teachers," Timothy said, extending his hand towards Pitts

    By the time Mike walked into the office at the close of business, Nathan was still sitting at his desk, going through the files."Nathan? Aren't you going home?" Mike asked.Nathan looked up with his brows drawn together as he asked, "What time is it?""It's seven p.m. already," Mike replied."Oh, I lost track of time," Nathan said, pushing his seat back from the table."I thought so, too. Lucas is waiting downstairs with the car," Mike stated.Nathan looked out the window and saw the sun had set. Darkness was beginning to creep out."Thank you, Mike," Nathan said, forcing himself up."You're welcome. You can go down, and I'll clear up the table for you," Mike offered."Okay, thanks," Nathan responded as he reached for his suit, which was hung on the hanger beside him.Mike reached for the first folder, then paused to ask, "Nathan? You forgot your phone."Nathan stopped in his tracks and replied, "Oh, hmm.""Are you alright?" Mike asked."Yes, I'm fine," Nathan responded.Mike thought

    Brad looked up to see Noah run through the door, a panicked look on his face."What's wrong?" Noah asked, then turned to look at Ava and added, "What's wrong with her?""I'm sorry, but who are..." Brad started to ask"I don't know; I think you should check her," Bella said, interrupting Brad as she looked up at Noah.Noah looked up at Brad and said, "I'm Noah Bright; I'm a doctor. I just happened to be at the door when I heard Bella shout Ava's name."As he said that, he walked over to Ava, kneeling in front of her as he took her hands in his."Ava? Can you hear me? If you can just grip my hands," Noah said softly.Brad looked at Bella with raised brows in question about who Noah was."He is a friend," Bella whispered, her attention still on Ava.All Ava could see was the hospital lights as she murmured, "My baby.""What is she saying?" Bella asked."I can't make out her words," Noah replied, moving closer to her.Suddenly, Ava looked up as Brad's hair grazed her neck. Her brows drew

    “Parish… yes, that was her name, wasn’t it?” Rose murmured to herself, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully.Ava’s heart skipped a beat, her pulse quickening as an unsettling feeling settled over her. Rose had just mentioned her surname, but surely that could just be a coincidence. She glanced at Noah, and there was a softness in his eyes, so she stepped away from him.“Are you okay?” Noah asked softly.“I’m so sorry,” the nurse who bumped into Ava shouted before hurrying along.“You look just like her, you know,” Rose added.“Ahh... Rose, I think you should get back to work; don’t want to keep you while work piles up,” Noah said with a smile and placed a hand on her shoulder. He turned her in the other direction and added, “See you around.”“See you around too, Dr. Noah,” Rose said, then looked toward Ava and waved. “Bye.”Ava smiled nervously and waved back. “Bye.”“Come, sorry about that,” Noah said to Ava as he led her to his office.“Thank you,” Ava murmured and followed him.

    Ava took a step towards the door, but Bella held her back, shaking her head at Ava."No," Bella said.There was a bit of silence in the room before they heard Noah speak again."She does not know, nor does she know about the contract," Noah said."Wow, I can't seem to believe that she does not. Well, it's a good thing that she accepted your proposal; all we need to do now is speed up the wedding process." Beth said."Of course, that should be real easy." Noah said."After all the groundwork you have put in, it should be easy. I actually thought Philip was going to spoil things for us; it turned out he was only after his own pocket," Beth said."Yeah, there was no need to worry. As long as it did not affect what I had planned with Ava." Noah replied."It all feels like yesterday, though," Beth muttered."Yeah, it's a good thing my proposal to partner with Elegance and Style all those years ago was not successful. Now I get to own a part of it all, which is much better. My dream to vent

    Nathan was frozen, unable to move an inch as he stared at Noah on his knees before locking his gaze with Ava."Say yes," people chorused around them.Ava took a deep breath and then looked at Noah and said, "Yes."A round of applause and gleeful cheer rose from the group around them as Noah slipped the ring on Ava's finger."Thank you," Noah said as he stood up and hugged her."Congratulations," everyone said as they walked past them."Let's find our table," Ava said.They both walked into the main hall, leaving a frozen Nathan still standing there.As soon as Bella saw Ava, she jumped up and walked over to her and hugged her tightly."Didn't seem like you both were that serious yet," Bella whispered, a forced smile plastered on her face."Neither did I," Ava whispered back with a forced smile."I need to check something at the back; my store is showcasing some of our latest collection." Noah explained."Okay," Ava said.Noah kissed the back of her hand and excused himself. Ava watche

    The room went silent as they all looked up to see who the man was pointing at."Oh my god!" Ava exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hand as she stared at her.She could not believe her eyes. How could she do something so wicked, so heartless?"Mom?" Tyler called, looking confused, "Did you do it?"Clara had her head to the ground, unable to lift it up to face Timothy."Oh, God," Peter said, falling back against the couch as he held his chest.Nathan's hand clenched into a fist at his side as he looked at Clara through death-stricken eyes."Take him outside; there are a lot more persons that would need to follow him to the police station." Timothy instructed the security guys.Clara went to her knees and begged, "I didn't know what I was doing; I'm sorry.""So you killed my mother? Why? What did she do to you? And then you threatened me to leave town. What did I ever do to you?" Ava asked, choking back tears."No, your mother's accident was a natural cause; I had nothing to do with

    Nathan's words fell like a bomb as jaws dropped in shock. Everyone in the room looked from him to Nora, waiting for her to refute his statement."Did he speak with you?" Nora slipped, the words coming out of her lips before she could think."Oh my god," Wyatt exclaimed.Everyone started to speak at the same time, the whole room going into an uproar as they all tried to speak over each other.Ava sat there, her face neutral as she took in what was happening."Quiet!" Tyler shouted, bringing the room to a sudden silence.Nora's eyes darted from Nathan's to Timothy's, who sat awestruck, staring at her."Where is Thomas?" Ava asked."None of your f*cking business!" Nora shouted at her.Nathan turned, noticing Ava for the first time since he walked into the house."Ava?" Nathan called softly."Surely you do not want him to hear all this, right?" Ava snapped, getting visibly angry at Nora's lack of consideration."I will go make sure he isn't anywhere near and get one of the housekeepers to

    "Thank you for having me, doctor. So you're saying he can get the transfusion tomorrow?" Nathan asked."Yes, he can. We have taken quite a bit from you, and it's a good thing that it matches, and we can give it to him. However, this might be a temporary fix, but let's get over this hurdle first, and then we can talk about the next step." The doctor explained"Okay, thank you so much. Do I get the results?" Nathan asked."Of course, I believe you would want to have a read-through yourself." The doctor replied and added, "You can pick it up at the lab on your way.""Thank you, doctor. I'll be on my way. Tomorrow, I'll be here with Thomas," Nathan said."We will be expecting you." The doctor replied, standing up to shake his hands before Nathan left.Nathan walked over to the lab and requested his results from the nurse at the station."Good day, Mr. Crawford, give me a minute, please." The nurse said and walked towards a table.She picked up an envelope and discovered there was another

    "They have taken the sample; we would get the results tomorrow," Nathan explained."That was fast," Clara muttered."I will stay with him; you guys can go home; it's been a long day already," Nathan said."Okay, call us if you need anything, okay?" Peter said."I will," Nathan responded."I am staying with my son too," Nora insisted.There was no reasoning with her, so Nathan allowed her.The night was long, but by the time it was morning, Thomas was feeling much better."The results are not out yet, but he can be discharged. We should be able to book an appointment for when he would come in for the transfusion in the next two days," the doctor said."Okay, that's good. Thank you, doctor." Nathan responded.By the time they got home, it was almost midday. Everyone was waiting for them in the living room."Hey there, champ, How are you feeling?" Tyler asked."I'm fine, Uncle Tyler," Thomas responded.Timothy walked down the stairs at the moment, smiled at Thomas, and said, "You feel be

    By the time they got to the garage, the sun was setting, and Nathan was already exhausted."Now it's good we all came here as Nora suggested. We haven't been seen in public together for a while." Peter said, a satisfied smile on his face."I agree," Wyatt seconded.Thomas held his mother's hand, who had refused to give him a smile or say as much as a word to him since losing the competition."Why do you look so sad, champ? You'll win the next one, okay? Tyler said, ruffling his hair.Nora pulled Thomas away from him and placed him behind her.Nathan picked him up and smiled at him, saying, "Do you want ice cream? Don't worry about the competition, okay? You'll get another chance."Thomas nodded, finally smiling at his father as he replied, "Okay."Nathan touched his forehead and looked over at Nora to ask, "Is Thomas on any medication? Why is he running a temperature?""Nothing is wrong with him. He is probably just pretending since he does not want to get scolded for losing the compe

    "How did you find out?" Timothy asked."That has nothing to do with the answer you are supposed to give me," Ava responded as she folded the tissue and walked over to a wastebasket in the corner of the room.Timothy stood up and walked over to the window, a grim expression on his face.Ava stood silently behind him, waiting for him to speak, and at last he did."Your mother saved me from a car accident," Timothy stated.Ava was not so sure what he was talking about. She was vaguely aware of the accident but not her mother's involvement in it."Olivia was at the location of the accident that day. Ruth, Nathan's mother, and I were on our way to the factory that fateful day when it happened." Timothy narrated."The same accident Nathan's mother died in?" Ava asked."Yes, your mother pulled me out of the car, but it was too late for Ruth; she died as the car blew up." Timothy said, his voice cracking up, so he paused for a second."Is this why you built a whole textile factory with my mom

    Nathan turned back to face Nora and asked, "What are you talking about?""I... I mean, did he…" Nora replied, trailing off as she took in the confused look on his face."Did who?" Nathan asked again, before adding, "I really don't get a word of what you are saying.""Oh, I mean, did you have a discussion with Tyler because you sound like him blaming me for whatnot?" Nora quickly said to cover up her slip."What in God's name did Tyler do this time around?" Tyler asked, coming up behind Nathan."What don't you do?" Nora asked, not really in the mood to get on his bad side since she still needed his help."This is not the time for this. Where is Grandpa?" Nathan asked the both of them."Where else? He has gone home, something you would know if he had told you, but oops," Tyler muttered, covering his mouth as he added, "You both aren't exactly on good terms right now, right?"Nathan's face hardened, but he forced himself to relax, keeping in mind they were at a public event."Tyler, you'
