The following morning, Lavender woke up fresh and energetic.
She didn't seem like someone who was involved in a life threatening scandal.
But after taking her phone and browsing the Internet, she almost threw her phone away in anger.
Robert felt her movement and woke up.
After remembering that he had hugged his beloved woman for one whole night, Robert was instantly in a good mood.
He has never slept this well before for the past seven years.
No nightmares. Just sweet dreams.
"What is wrong?" He asked when he felt that Lavender's mood was not right.
Lavender opened the browser and handed her phone over to him.
When Robert saw the news, his eyes turned cold and the phone in his hands was almost frozen to ice.
"Our law system is extremely fake. How dare they release somehow who is guilty after just a few hours of being captured?"
"The powerful have the final say in the country. What are we, poor p
After the family had breakfast, Robert took the lunch boxes that Lavender had prepared and went to send his kids to school.Lavender did not want to trouble him to make endless trips thus she took Reagan to school personally.Since she didn't have to go to work anymore, she could as well send her son to school."Mummy I already know about the news, but don't worry about me. I know mummy is a good person and she would never do something like that." Reagan said to his mother."My darling is the most understanding. Don't worry, I will clear my name as soon as possible." Lavender assured her son."I believe in my mummy.""Okay go to school and be good, alright.""Alright mummy, I love you.""I love you son."In Robert's car, he was listening to Liam's report so intently."I discovered that Rael knew of Lavender's return the day her father got into the car accident.""She had gone to a certain bar and restaurant
While Lavender was being trapped by the reporters at the entrance of her home, Rael was busy signing the contract with Light entertainment company.Lavender was preparing to go home so that she can start looking through the evidence but she did not expect the reporters to be waiting for her at the gate.She was surprised only for a bit before she knew that Rael might have already found out where she was staying.Worst of all, the reporters even recognised her car."Miss Lavender, can you get out of the car and answer a few questions?" Some reporters even knocked on her car window while they shouted."Why are you afraid. You could have been afraid when you were trying to kill your adoptive father." The reporters said."We only want to get justice for the victim family. Who is the rich man that is keeping you as his mistress? Does his wife knows?" The reporters continued to question Lavender aggressively.Lavender looked over and
Lavender reached home and immediately locked herself in the study room.As she was mulling over things, she received a call from Stella."Hey girl, are you okay?" Stella asked with a concerned voice over the phone."Yeah, I'm good." Lavender answered."What is wrong with those people? After everything they did to you seven years ago, they are still clinging to you? What do they want from you?" Stella asked."Honestly, I really don't know what they want from me. If they had not made such a fuse, I would have already forgotten that they even existed." Lavender said."What are you going to do now? Are going to give up on your career just like that?""Of course not. They schemed against me seven years ago, if I let them succeed again this time, then my surname wouldn't be Stone.""Okay girl. Whatever you want, feel free to ask.""Okay."Just as Lavender was about to hang up, she remembered that she had seen Edga
After hanging up the phone, Lavender went to prepare his grandfather some lunch.His grandfather was currently in the garden tending to the blooming flowers.After he recovered, he had developed a hobby of planting and taking care of flowers.He had said that Lavender's grandmother liked orchids very much when she still alive thus he had insisted on planting a few and took really good care of them.Lavender had let him be because she knew that it was not good for his grandfather to stay idle.Although he pretended to have healed from the pain causes when Lavender's parents died, Lavender would always find him sitting in a daze when no one was around.Just like Reagan, her grandfather’s health was not great so she had to be careful with everything that she prepare.She had already gotten used to preparing their meal over the years thus she did not have a lot of servants in her home.They preferred the peace of only having
"Old man, I don't know what you are talking about." Jeffrey said after coming to a decision.Seeing the sudden change in his attitude, Mr Stone was shocked.Hasn't he been acting like he was scared just moment ago? Where was his repent attitude now?"Lavender deserve everything she is going through." Jeffrey continued."What did you just say?" Mr Stone asked, his voice sounding angry."I'm saying that I'm not going to be intimated by you. We have already won and there is nothing you can do about it." Jeffrey said with confidence.His daughter had already signed with one of the best entertainment agency, what was he afraid of?Beside, the public was on their side, they just had to shed a few tears and everyone will feel pity for them."So you are not going to repent until you see the coffin right in front of you?""Don't try to threaten me. My family is not one to give in to pressure." Jeffrey said."I see. I was m
When the reporters saw Caston approach the podium, they marveled.Everyone knew that Caston was not a simple person because his reputation was well known in the entertainment industry.They started to anticipate that a good show was about to unfold.Even Rael, who saw Caston walk the podium was shocked.An uneasy feeling settled in her heart.She had heard of the Caston the miracles he had made both in the entertainment industry and business world.He was like a god of public relation and no one dared to go up against him.Everyone respected him because in their eyes, he deserved the respect.The confidence Rael had a moment ago started to go down.The reporters were excited as they looked forward to what Caston would do to turn the situation around."The reporters present, my name is Caston and I'm here on behalf of Miss Lavender Stone to help clear her name.""I have been in this industry for a long
It was only after Lavender stood up that the reporters came back to their senses.They rushed over to her with their microphones pointing in her direction."Miss Lavender, can you say something?""Miss Lavender, why did not say something when you were being slandered?""Miss Lavender, what are you going to do about the Smith family?"The media asked one question after another.Lavender looked at them with a disdainful smile.Why are they acting as if they cared about her now?They had shamed her, said all the malicious things about her! Now they were acting as if they couldn't wait to get justice for her.Seeing her disdainful smile, the reporters were embarrassed. They knew that they had gone too far with their slandering.There cheeks were hurting too much from the tight slap they have received just now.But for the sake of headlines, they had to be thick skinned and at least interview Lavender.
After the press conference, Rael slumped on the sofa, dumbfounded.Her clothes were already drenched from the cold sweat. Her heart was pounding hard from nervousness as if it could stop anytime.The scheme she had thought was perfect has been turned around just by a few sentence from Caston.She had thought that she was already a winner in this fiasco. She had thought that Lavender was a push over who could just surrender at any pressure.How the hell did she manage to think so much just in a short period of time?Who was helping her behind the scenes?Rael's head felt as if it was going to burst.Jeffrey too, who had already been discharged from the hospital, looked at the television, dumbfounded.What the hell was going on? Hadn't Rael said that nothing would go wrong?Remembering how he had killed three people when he was drunk driving, Jeffrey shuddered.He had thought that he has escaped punishme

At the abandoned house, Emma was pacing back and forth as she looked at her watch."Is this man trying to test my patience?" Emma asked her father."Relax. He won't let his daughter die no matter what. Remember we gave him the coordinates for the longest route. Maybe he is still stuck on the heavy terrain of road leading here.""I haven't heard from Cindy. Why don't you call her and ask her whether she had already dealt with Lavender?”“I will call her right away." Emma said and dialed Cindy's number. The phone did not go through. She even dialed her dad's men that were protecting Cindy but it did not go through too."Dad something is wrong." Emma said. "None of the phones are going through." She added.Although Lion also felt that something was wrong, he did not think too much about it. The only thing that he cared about was her daughter to get her revenge."Call the other people and tell them to bring that little bastard over." "Their phones are not going through too."Just as Lion
"Just tell me where my brother and sister are and whether they are fine.""I will go make a call." The one who seemed as the little leader immediately left to make the call.He had been confused by the little boy's speech that his mind was blank.Were they really messing with the wrong guy? They were not from the city so they had not heard much about the Houston family and the ruthless heir.They were just a small gang that lived on the street. They depended on small jobs and theft for survival. Lion had found them and seeing how skilled he was they had decided to follow him. They actually believed in bullying the weak and fearing the strong notion.So, when he told them that he had a mission for them and that they will earn big, they readily agreed. The man stopped thinking about it and dialed his boss number. He can't let that little boy scare him.……In the car….Robert heard his phone beep and looked at it. After he saw the content of the of the text, he could not help but smile.
"You make it sound so simple." "Don't worry darling I won't let anything happen to our kids." "I trust you.""Why don't you do me a favor, leave this to me and let me take care of it. I promise that nothing will happen." "No that won't do. Even if we are going to ambush them, we can't give them a chance to retaliate. Since Emma and Cindy managed to pull off something like that, it can only mean one thing….""They have someone powerful helping them from the sidelines." Robert finished the statement for her."Yes. Since we don't know how powerful the enemy is, we can only play along with them." Lavender said. She would never take the life of her children and her friend lightly."So darling just let me go with you. Me staying at home while knowing that my kids are in danger is a real torture. I promise that I will look after myself." Lavender said."Okay. Grab some thick coats for you and the kids. They might be a cold by now."…..In the abandoned house….Lion was looking at Whitney
The car the Cindy was in was moving at a very high speed. Although the roads were bumpy and they almost rolled over a few times, Stella and the kids were still unconscious.Seems like that drug was really strong."Miss, why did you kidnap the woman too? You know that boss doesn't like it when someone goes against his orders." The man who was driving asked."That is none of your business. You should concentrate on driving. I will take care of the rest." Cindy said. As long she got what she wanted, she did not give a hoot about anyone.The driver shut up and the two other guys did not say anything as they watched the kids carefully.….Back at Lavender's place, the police had already arrived at the place and after checking everyone they realized that the suspect must have gone with children.And there was only one suspicious person missing among the guest and that was the kids’ Arts teacher."Why would miss Yolanda want to kidnap her own students?" Lavender asked with obvious doubt.It
The party began at five thirty o'clock in the evening. Since it was just for kids there were not a lot of formal talking. People were just socializing and making connections. Cindy who had already blended in as the kids’ Arts teacher looked on as people enjoyed themselves with disdain.Everyone here only cared about their benefits and whether they will leave an impression on the Houston family. After all the entire power of the Houston family lied in the hands of Robert and Lavender was also an internationally renowned doctor who had won major awards because of her medical papers.People just wanted to suck up to them so that they could have it easy in both the medical and business field."I think I now understand why you insisted of planning everything on your own." Stella said. She was hugging a man's hand and Lavender was happy to see them together. "You two look good together." She said with a smile."If you had not insisted on pairing us together, we would have missed out on ea
The long-awaited birthday party soon arrived. Although their exact born date was on a weekday, the party was held over the weekend since the kids had to go to school and their parents had to go to work during the week.Lavender had bought a much bigger villa and it was just right for the party since it was being held in the big yard of the private villa.She had refused to move to Robert's villa, although it held a lot of memories for the both of them, she did not want to remember her pitiful, painful past."Hurray it is finally the weekend and I am super excited." Whitney said to the boys."Yeah me too. I never thought that this day will ever come." Reagan said."How did you celebrate your birthdays with mummy?" Whitney asked curiously. Since they were just the two of them, did her mother also throw such a huge birthday party for her brother just like their father did every other year?"Mum will always buy three cakes. Every time I asked her why she would buy three cakes she always s
Three months passed by in flash since the engagement party and since Cindy’s disappearance.Robert had not wanted to involve himself at the start but seeing how battered Derrick looked, he decided to give a helping hand.But even with his resources, they did not manage to find her. The young spoilt mistress seemed to have vanished into thin air.There were no records of her leaving the country nor was there a corpse to prove that she had died. They had even contacted the police but they had not received any news of suicide or murder. Robert could only give up at this moment."You should stop stressing over her. She is all grown up and I am sure that whenever she is, she is safe." Robert said to Derrick. "I can't help but blame myself. All of these is my fault. If I had not spoilt her rotten, she wouldn't have turned out like that." "All of us loved her and spoilt her so we have to share the responsibility. But that does not mean that we should live in guilty for the rest of our live
Chapter 136 "What is wrong with her?" Derrick asked feeling uncomfortable from all the touching. He was shocked that he was actually having a reaction and hastily pushed Cindy away. Cindy moaned and was on the verge of undoing the zip on her dress.The smell of the male hormone was too much for her that she just wanted to grab whoever it was and eat him up."She is drugged so she needs a man to find relief." Robert said with less concern.Derrick and Lavender were shocked. Lavender was a doctor so she immediately knew what kind of drug Cindy had taken."How did she get drugged? Uncle…… you? Derrick looked at Robert in disbelief. "I am not the one who added the aphrodisiac in her wine glass, she did that to herself. I am just giving her a taste of her own medicine." Robert said."What has my sister done?" Derrick asked. He was in so much shock that he did not even know what to think."She wanted to drug my wife and you and lock you in one room so that she can embarrass my wife in fro
