Regina nodded. "Yes, I want her dead. Help me, and I'll give you whatever you want."

Susanna was aware that Regina's idea was insane; it would cost her her life if she wasn't careful.

Nonetheless, she nodded with a gleam of joy in her eyes. It was evident that she found Regina to be an intriguing partner in crime.

"Pleasure working with you, Ms. Wright."

"Pleasure working with you, Ms. Susanna."

The women shook hands with smiles on their faces, but beneath their beautiful exteriors lay devious schemes.

Susanna had no intention of getting involved in Regina's affairs. She was far smarter than Angelica and the others.

Susanna was sure that anyone else in her shoes would feel the same way.

Regina's gaze wandered for a second before refocusing on Susanna. The handshake lasted only a few seconds, as it was just a mere formality.

In fact, you're the boss.""Exactly, Leo, when did you become so distant? We would love for you to come over every day.

The director of the orphanage let out a deep sigh. "You don't know the whole story. Our janitor found these babies at the orphanage's entrance. Someone left them there and disappeared. "We've been taking care of them for about half a month now, and their condition has improved significantly."

"The opportunity for these two babies to have some good days is preferable to nothing.

    "How could you hit me because of her? I'm the mother of your child!" Sophie shrieked.She had never suffered such humiliation. She had been showered with love from a young age and wasn't accustomed to such harsh treatment. So, she became agitated and emotional."Isn't it all because of you that things turned out this way? Would such a thing have happened to our company? Would Richard suddenly want to break all ties with us? It's all because of your reckless behavior!"

    "Mrs. Black, we'd intended to negotiate amicably with you and achieve a satisfactory outcome for both parties. "The decision to move out was mine, and I asked Celia to come over and help me out.
