Margret had no idea about the secret plot. After leaving the hospital, she stopped by a bookstore to purchase some books. On her way home, she noticed an individual standing at her gate. Feeling annoyed, she honked at the person, but they didn't budge. Margret stepped out of her car and politely asked, "Excuse me, can you please move out of the way so I can enter?" She gestured towards the gate with her hand. To her surprise, the stranger was holding a gun and had a sinister smirk on his face. Before she could react, a car screeched to a halt next to her, and seven armed individuals got out. "Margret Owen, come with us," one of them commanded in a cold, unforgiving tone. Margret was bewildered. She didn't recognize any of these people and couldn't imagine why they would want her. Nonetheless, she complied and got into their car.Once inside, the men swiftly donned masks and released a gas that quickly overpowered Margret, causing her to lose consciousness. After an hour had passed
As the elevator descended, Charlie Jr dialled his father's number, hoping for a quick answer. But the phone rang continuously without any response. Frustrated, he rushed out of the elevator, still trying to reach his father on the phone. In his haste, he accidentally collided with someone, causing his phone to fall to the ground. "Oops!" He exclaimed, not bothering to check who he had bumped into. Stella's face creased with worry as she called out slowly, "Caleb?" She wondered why he was in Houston when he had said he was going to the Capital City. Ignoring the person he had collided with, Charlie Jr looked around frantically before running towards his car and jumping in. Stella regained her composure and rushed towards the car, calling out excitedly, "Caleb!"Stella refused to give up as the car zoomed out of the parking lot and raced towards the hospital exit. Despite her efforts to catch up, she couldn't keep pace, and the car vanished from her sight. Standing there with tears
Margret Owen's face paled as a gunshot pierced the air. In a swift move, she seized one of Zyan's henchmen's arms and effortlessly hurled him over her head, slamming him hard onto the ground. With her heart racing with fear, she called out to Charlie Sr. The superior firepower of Madame Agnes' forces took down Zyan's men one by one, while he watched helplessly. "Charlie!" Margret Owen's cried out, her eyes reddened, as she ran towards him. Zyan Oliver laughed excitedly, glad that he had accomplished his mission. He dropped his gun to the ground. Several minutes later, one of the helicopters hovering in the sky landed on the beach. Madame Agnes disembarked from the helicopter with her men following closely behind. "Charlie, stop pretending and get up," Madame Agnes said coldly, her face emotionless.Zyan Oliver was taken aback as Charlie Sr struggled to stand up and spoke, "You're not dead?" Margaret Owen looked resentful, realizing she had been fooled by Charlie Sr as well. Madame
Chloe was seething with anger, but it wasn't because of Charlie Sr's injury. It was because their plan had failed, and Margaret was still alive. To add insult to injury, Charlie Sr had risked his life to help Margaret while in critical condition. Chloe gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes at her husband, feeling like slapping him."Let me take you in, Dad," Charlie Jr said, noticing his mother's lack of action.Chloe pulled out her phone as soon as her husband and son left."Where are you, Peter?" she asked when he picked up."I'll send you the address," he replied before hanging up abruptly.Chloe's face twisted with anger, and her eyes darkened as she vowed, "You'll pay for this. Once I'm done with this damn family, you'll be the next to go."She slammed her palm on the steering wheel and started the car, heading towards Peter's residence.Chloe was escorted into Peter's home by his butler. Upon seeing her, Peter's face lit up with a smile. He had been trying to find a way to brin
Stella decided to visit the hospital as she couldn't find Caleb and his mother's new address. She flagged down a taxi and headed to the hospital. After paying the fare, she entered the hospital building and saw a woman walking out with a trash can. Stella called out to her with excitement, "Mother!" Her mother turned around and looked puzzled. "But didn't you say you were visiting a friend instead of coming to the hospital?" she asked hesitantly. Stella's frown deepened as she replied, "Yes, I did say that, but there's no point now since Caleb is actually in the hospital." Stella's mother became even more confused and furrowed her eyebrows in concern. "Is he sick?" she asked. Stella pursed her lips tightly before answering, "I don't know."Stella's mother gestured with her hands, "Doctor Mila is looking for you, you can go in." "Sure, I'll go see her," Stella replied, and made her way into the hospital. Stella's mother had started working at the hospital after recovering from her
Stella was left speechless by Charlie Jr's response. She had expected him to reminisce about the time they spent together or the moments he had helped her. Sorrow filled her as her eyes reddened. Observing her reaction, Charlie Jr shook his head and walked into the elevator, riding it up to the top floor. Upon arrival, he made his way to the ward where his father was staying. "Dad, I've brought the medication. You should take it now. I'll go out and purchase the remaining items," Charlie Jr informed his father. He handed him the bag of medicine and left the ward. Charlie Sr opened the bag and retrieved the pills. He poured himself a glass of water and swallowed the medication.Chloe entered the ward and fixed a cold glare on Charlie Sr. "Where's Junior?" she demanded curtly. Charlie Sr didn't want to argue with Chloe and gave a straightforward response. "He's not here. If you have nothing else to say, please leave." Chloe's expression darkened at being dismissed. "What the hell i
It was beyond her wildest imagination to think that the person lying on the stretcher, clinging to life, could be Caleb - her Caleb. Stella stood in a daze, tears brimming in her eyes as she watched the chaos around her. "Get him to the emergency ward immediately," someone shouted. "We need to contact the White family," another voice chimed in. Suddenly, Stella's senses kicked in and she bolted after the team of doctors, calling out Caleb's name. But Doctor Mila intercepted her, blocking her path with a frown. "You can't enter the emergency ward," she said firmly, gesturing towards a chair in the corner. Stella's face twisted in confusion, her features smeared with snot and tears. "Why not? That's Caleb, the friend I told you about," she explained, her voice hoarse and trembling. Doctor Mila was taken aback, wondering if Stella had mistaken Charlie Jr for someone else."Mila, we need you in the emergency ward," a senior doctor with grey hair called out urgently. "Are you prep
Peter was caught off guard when his father called him out of the blue, informing him that his misdeed had been uncovered within an hour of its execution."I don't understand, Dad. What are you talking about?" Peter feigned ignorance, hoping to avoid the inevitable confrontation.But his father's voice was unforgiving. "Don't move from where you are. I'm taking you to Madame Agnes' mansion, and you won't escape punishment."The call ended abruptly, leaving Peter feeling bitter and disappointed. He had expected his father to be proud of his actions, not cowardly and unenthusiastic."Damn it! Damn, it!!" Peter yelled in frustration.Chloe's complexion turned ashen as she listened to Peter's conversation with his father. It was clear that Madame Agnes had discovered their plans."Peter, what are we going to do?" Chloe's voice quivered with fear.Peter shot her a glare. If she hadn't come running to his house, no one would have found out what they had done."Get out of here!" Peter bellowe
