Mr Jones casually picked up the call and mumbled a "hello" haughtily. Mr Jones was taken aback when he heard Madame Agnes' voice coming from the phone. "Jones, you now have the power to contend with me, how dare you try to snatch someone that I have already adopted?" he heard her say. He was perplexed, unable to recall how he had offended her or how he had caused her anger. He attempted to apologize, but the call ended abruptly. In a state of confusion, he spun around and hastily left the private room with his bodyguards, leaving Margret and Klaus bewildered. Klaus, stunned by Mr Jones' strange reaction, asked Margret, "Is anything wrong with him?" Margret was hesitant about Klaus' question and responded with a furrowed brow, "I'm not sure. Let's just contact Barrister Marshall and forget about him." Despite trying to appear calm, she was deeply worried and disheartened. "I have to go pick up my sons from school, so I'm leaving," she informed Klaus before exiting the studio. As
Charlie Jr. took a moment to think before he exited his office, and then his phone began to ring. He answered it, and made his way out of the company alone.After driving for an hour, he arrived at his destination and nodded in approval. He spotted a plaque at the entrance of the building that read "Secret Bar". He was aware that it was owned by an underground leader and the city surveillance was restricted from the area. The establishment was well known by people who wished to meet clandestinely.As Charlie Jr. entered the bar, he noticed an elderly man sitting in the corner. Feeling apologetic for making him wait, Charlie Jr. introduced himself and said, "Doctor Overseer, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."The doctor let out a warm chuckle and said, "It seems like the younger generation always has something going on. But don't worry, how can I help you?"Charlie Jr had asked Salvation to arrange a meeting with Doctor Overseer earlier, but he hadn't mentioned the purpose of the meet
Chloe opened the door to the bedroom she shared with her husband, Charlie Sr, and was surprised to find him packing up his things. She surveyed the room, noting with a sinking heart that this was really happening. "Why don't you tell the servants to do it?" Chloe asked, hoping to start a conversation. Charlie Sr appeared to ignore her, continuing to fold clothes into his suitcase with a determined focus. Chloe sighed, feeling more and more like a stranger in her own home. "Charlie, talk to me," she said softly, approaching her husband. "I know something's been bothering you lately." To her surprise, Charlie Sr suddenly straightened himself up after finishing with the packing. He turned to face her, his face grim and unreadable. "Why are you afraid of your grandmother?" Chloe pressed on, determined to get to the bottom of things. "You've always obeyed her, even when she insisted on us getting married. Is she blackmailing you?" The question seemed to hit a nerve, and Charlie Sr cle
Margret could no longer contain her rage, her entire body shaking with fury at her father's question. "Dad, please!" she whimpered, tears streaming down her face.Despising her emotional plea, Mr Owen continued his interrogation. "They are your children with Mr Jones, why won't you let him meet them? Margret, do you understand what you are doing? You are denying your kids the right to know their father."Caleb's hands tightened into fists as Margret's voice rose. "Dad, stop this now. Leave, just leave!" she demanded.Mr Owen scoffed. "Why are you so mad? I'm only looking out for my grandchildren."The anger in Margret's voice was undeniable. "I wish you had never been my father," she yelled. "Now, get out of my house or I'll call the police and the estate security team!"Mr Owen huffed, turning his back and striding away haughtily.Caleb rushed to his mother, his face etched with worry. "Mom, are you ok?" he asked tentatively. Margret smiled weakly, her eyes still filled with tears. C
Margret briefly turned around and stated, "I have to leave, accept it." She left after that. As Klaus noticed this, the corners of his lips twitched, and he murmured to himself, "Is Margret Charlie Sr's mistress? No wonder her son bears a resemblance to her."Klaus then accepted the offer from the Geek family and made a call.Margret came out of her studio and realized that Charlie Sr. had already departed. She stood there in deep thought. Her eyes flickered as she pondered, "Why do I have this sensation that we've kissed before? It's strange." However, she brushed off the thought and headed towards her car. Right before she entered her car, her phone rang. She looked at her phone to see that Marshall, the lawyer she had told Klaus to arrange a meeting with, was calling.Margret greeted Barrister Marshall over the phone with a smile, "Hello, Barrister Marshal."In response, a crisp voice emanated from the phone's speaker, "Miss Margret, I'm available today. Shall we meet to discuss
Charlie Jr. was lost in thought when his phone rang. He answered the call in a stern tone, "Hello, Salvation. Why did you call?"Salvation replied, "Sir Charlie Jr., your grandmother is on her way to the Geek residence. Aren't you going to accompany her?"Charlie Jr. was annoyed and responded, "She didn't invite me. Why should I go?"There was a brief pause before Salvation spoke again, "There is a boy of the same age as you in her entourage."Charlie Jr. clenched his jaw and reluctantly agreed, "Alright." He hung up the phone and left his office, leaving his escort behind.Upon arriving at his parent's home, the servants greeted him respectfully. Charlie Jr. ignored them and went straight to his parent's room. He entered without knocking and saw his mother, Chloe, crying.Charlie Jr. called out "Mom" His heart ached at the sight of his mother's tears, and Chloe quickly wanted to wipe away the tears on her face, "I am sorry, Mom, I couldn't protect you," Charlie Jr. said in a low voic
As Madame Agnes made her boastful remark, the other aristocratic family heads in the room could not help but chuckle as if they had just heard a clever joke. Old Geek spoke up, "Well if you insist, we will happily oblige." The other family heads seemed pleased at the opportunity to put Madame Agnes in her place. Old Geek signalled for one of his family's servants to bring a piano into the hall, which was promptly done. Old Geek proudly announced his granddaughter who is widely known as "Five Fingers" for her exceptional piano skills. The young girl stood beside him and gracefully sat down at the piano to perform. After her performance, the audience nodded in amazement at her incredible talent. However, Madame Agnes chuckled and snarled in response "She is truly a grandmaster in playing the piano, but it just so-so." Madame Agnes sent the masked boy over, after the masked boy sat before the piano and played it, the tone the girl played earlier paled in comparison. Madame Agnes ch
As soon as Chunks threw his punch, the masked boy reacted quickly by parrying it away. The onlookers in the hall were taken aback, and their mouths formed an 'o' shape in shock. Madame Agnes, however, was pleased and smiled broadly. Chunks, on the other hand, was filled with rage and began throwing punches recklessly. But the masked boy remained calm and easily parried all of them, before delivering a swift kick to his groin. Chunks stumbled backwards, his face turning pale with surprise. "How can a brat like you be so skilled in fighting?" he asked bewilderedly, this is the first time he doubted his underground boxing ring reputation. The boy wearing the mask leapt into the air and somersaulted, launching himself at Chunks with a flurry of kicks aimed at his face. Chunks quickly raised his arms to block the attack, but the force of the blows was so great that his arms went numb and began to shake. Gritting his teeth and with a look of fury on his face, Chunks bellowed, "I'll kill
"Stop him!" Chloe commanded her men.Despite his valiant efforts in exchanging blows, Charlie Jr. was unable to force his way through and was kicked back. As Chloe's men continued to charge forward in overwhelming numbers, Charlie Jr. fought his way out of the room, growing increasingly fatigued.However, when Chloe's men grabbed hold of him, Charlie Jr. desperately struggled to break free, his chest rising and falling with exertion. Despite his fierce resistance, the grip on him proved too strong to overcome.Chloe looked at him condescendingly as she sneered, "Junior, amongst your brothers, you are the most foolish; who are you to make me work for you?""Boss, the helicopter has taken off," one of Chloe's underlinings informed her.A huge smile appeared on Chloe's face, and she said with a tone and gesture of generosity, "You may let him since he wants to watch his lover explode."As soon as Charlie Jr. was released, he appeared to lose his mind. He repeatedly muttered Stella's name
Stella's lips twitched at the sight of Celestine's dismissive attitude. She hadn't expected him to treat her like a nuisance. "That's hardly a welcome," she retorted, rolling her eyes.Realizing his mistake, Celestine tried to make amends. "I'm sorry," he said in a calmer tone. "Please, take a seat."Stella nodded and sat down, but Celestine remained silent, unsure of what to say to her.After five minutes of awkward silence, Stella grew impatient. "Are you going to say anything?" she asked.Celestine shook his head. "I don't know what to say," he admitted.Stella's frustration boiled over. "How can you be silent now?" she exclaimed. "You promised to be with me forever. You promised to marry me. And what about our vows in the field that day? Were they all meaningless to you?"As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and her anger turned to hurt.As soon as Celestine remembered who Stella was, his expression changed dramatically. He hung his head low and apologized, "I am sorry."St
Stella's mom initially thought that Charlie Jr. and Caleb wanting to marry her daughter would be good news. However, her joy turned into despair when she realized that Stella was caught in the middle of three brothers."Follow your heart, Stella," her mother said, shaking her head. "I cannot make any definitive statements about this matter because your partner is someone you will be spending the rest of your life with."Stella furrowed her eyebrows as she contemplated her options, deep in thought.****Charlie Jr. drove aimlessly around the city, his mind in turmoil after leaving the bar. Eventually, he found himself at the field where Stella had taken him before. As he sat alone, he gazed up at the moon, his heart heavy with longing for her."I wish you were here with me, Stella," he murmured, his voice soft. "I know you want me to move on, but I can't. I just can't."After a while, he stood up and made his way back to his car, his thoughts still consumed by his feelings for Stella.
Stella was torn. She knew that if she didn't act, the situation would only get worse, and she couldn't bear the thought of things spiralling out of control. Summoning up her courage, she took a deep breath and spoke firmly."Charlie Jr., I have to be honest with you. I'm in love with someone else, and I don't think I'm the right person for you," she said, her tone serious.Charlie Jr. shook his head and replied, "It doesn't matter who he is. I love you, and I won't stop loving you. My feelings for you won't change."With that, he got up and walked away, leaving Stella to watch his departing figure with a complicated mix of emotions.As Charlie Jr. exited the bar, he spotted Caleb seated atop his car's bonnet, smoking. The two locked gazes, and Caleb extinguished his cigarette before standing up."Why do you persist when she's made it clear?" Caleb asked, his tone frosty."Her rejection doesn't change my feelings or my desire to pursue her," Charlie Jr. retorted, his own tone equally c
Celestine's expression turned grave, and he whispered, "Isn't that considered treason?"Madame Agnes affirmed, "Yes, but that's not our concern right now. Your task is to intercept the mercenaries and safely escort the X country minister to Houston.""When do we depart?" Celestine inquired, turning to Butler Mark."Right away. We need to set up an ambush," Butler Mark replied."I'm ready," Celestine declared, and Butler Mark turned to leave."Wait," Madame Agnes called out to Celestine, causing him to pause. She looked at him with a serious expression. "Your safety is of utmost importance."Celestine smiled reassuringly and answered, "Don't worry, Mother. Nothing will happen to me."Madame Agnes nodded, watching as Celestine followed Butler Mark out of the house.As they left, Madame Agnes felt a sense of unease. She knew those mercenaries were ruthless and willing to sacrifice themselves for little gain."He'll be alright," she murmured, trying to ease her worries.****After finishi
"Tell me about yourself and your brother, Celestine," Stella inquired of Caleb.Caleb let out a sigh, unsure of how to feel about the situation. He couldn't help but wonder if Stella had known the truth all along - that he and Celestine had been acting as one person while he was pursuing her. "Let's find someplace quiet," he suggested to Stella, who nodded in agreement. They left the mansion and got into Caleb's car.Meanwhile, Charlie Jr. stood outside, watching them drive away with a cold expression and clenched fists. He was infuriated by what had just transpired.Caleb drove them into the busy city, eventually pulling over at a peaceful location. They got out of the car and settled down."I'm sorry for deceiving you," Caleb said apologetically, "I know you must have found out everything. I was young and foolish."Stella's heart skipped a beat. She had suspected the truth, but hearing it from Caleb made her realize that she had never truly been in love with him. Instead, her feeli
The atmosphere was tranquil, and the soothing notes of the piano filled the air. All present were entranced by Celestine's performance, and not a single person dared to disrupt the spell he had cast. As he played the final note, the sound faded away, leaving fifteen seconds of absolute silence. The audience remained lost in the music's beauty, not wanting to shatter the enchantment.Suddenly, applause erupted, but no one knew who had started it. It quickly spread, and everyone joined in, clapping with enthusiasm. Stella glanced at Caleb, who was silently berating his luck. How could he compete with Charlie Jr. and Celestine for a woman's affections? The situation was a tragedy.Stella turned to Caleb and asked, "You know how to play, right?" His heart sank as he had used Celestine's musical talents to impress Stella before. Trying to maintain a serious expression, he responded, "Of course."Stella was surprised but pleased to hear this. She hadn't expected Caleb to know how to play th
Celestine paused his flute playing and turned to face the figure before him. He was momentarily stunned by Stella's beauty, feeling as though she was the most exquisite lady he had ever laid eyes upon. The fireflies dancing around her only added to her charm, making her utterly irresistible.Furrowing his eyebrows, Celestine tried to place where he had seen this face before. There was something familiar about it that he couldn't quite grasp.Similarly, Stella stood frozen, her heart racing as she felt a different kind of connection with this person who resembled Caleb but possessed a refined handsomeness that even surpassed that of his brothers. As she gazed at him, she couldn't help but wonder if he was one of the triplets. But why did she feel such a strong and unique attraction towards him? Her thoughts became muddled and chaotic.Celestine furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he looked at the beautiful lady in front of him. "Who are you? Do we know each other?" he asked, feeling
Caleb approached Stella with a happy expression, but she was in a daze as she stared at him. To her surprise, they looked exactly alike. Suddenly, a painful memory came flooding back to her when she met Charlie Jr. at the hospital years ago, and he didn't remember her."Stella, do you still remember me?" Caleb asked eagerly as he approached her.Just then, Charlie Jr. coughed, interrupting them. "Hey bro, this is my wife Stella," he said.Caleb's expression darkened as he looked at Charlie Jr. and then turned back to Stella. "What happened? You promised to wait for me," he said, his tone full of confusion and hurt.Stella's heart trembled as she struggled to understand what was happening. She quickly asked the first question that came to mind. "And what is your name?" she asked Caleb.Caleb furrowed his eyebrows, taken aback by her question. He hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's me, Caleb. Don't you remember me?"Stella's face showed evident shock as she looked back and f
