At Mount Olive

The bigamy suit had begun, and all odds seemed against Cecilia and the fake Duke because Tim only presented the picture of the demolished house and alleged that she dumped her husband in the hospital and married the fake Duke. The suit came up a few days after the duke was released at the police station, and he was distraught.

Everyone, including Cecilia, was not aware of how the corpse of the original Duke left the palace, but they could not state that as their defense. Rather, she admitted that she dumped him in the hospital but denied marrying the fake Duke.

“Why can't anything good come out of Cecilia?” He asked himself in utter hopelessness and began to beat her. Incidentally, her witchcraft was unable to save her.

The day they appeared in the court, the two were better described as dead. They were so Ill, and as planned, the old man did not appear because he was critically ill but his lawyer did a good job.

Presently, the fake Duke's hope was the new palace. He co

    Interestingly, the pressmen who were waiting outside the court were surprised about the story, which was already online, because they did not get such details. It rendered their waiting useless.“The blogger must be in the court with a hidden camera,” one of them said.“That is serious. How did he pass the door with the camera without being dictated?”“I wish I knew.”At Tim's House“Yippie!” He raised his two hands and exclaimed.

    “This silly girl will never stop to anger me,” he answered while they walked out of the lobby.“Which girl?” He asked at once.Jerry was too angry to speak and Collins helped out, “It is Miss Dickson. She attacked her colleague.”George stopped suddenly and asked, “Did she come to work today? I thought she went to court.”“Maybe she returned from the court with anger and decided to vent it on her colleague,” Jerry stated.“She must be punished,” George said and inched backward.“No need to go back. I have taken care of that,” Jerry declared.George mellowed and asked him, “What did you do to her?”“I asked the Corporal to send her to the guardroom.”“That is good. Inform the Corporal that she will be there until 8 PM.”Jerry grinned and accepted it, “It is all right.”In The Staff BusWith the embarrassing post about Laura, many wished to see her at the canteen but failed.

    She looked down immediately at the humiliating message. Previously, they did not worry about subscriptions because the company provided all of that.“What do we do?” Her husband asked her dejectedly.His phone had been bad for over a week and they were waiting for the month's salary to fix it.She swallowed hard and answered, “Let us wait. She will be back.”To their disturbance, she did not return even after 6 PM. Her mother never bothered to ask questions again but began to cry.“What have we done to deserve all these? She must have been detained.”Her father ran his hand over his head and lamented, “How can we lose all our children in one year? We can't even do anything to help them.”They were in that awkward condition when the door opened and they looked up. She walked in with a heavy heart and sat down dejectedly. Although she was back, they were like a woman who recovered from an illness only to return from the hospital and discover that her child had died.“Welcome back,” her

    The Next Day - At The ComplexGeorge arrived that morning and looked sternly at Laura without minding whether she noticed him or not. Everyone was surprised and paused to know his reasons for such a look. Likewise, Laura died and was resurrected when their eyes met.'If not that she is our gold mine, I would have court marshaled her,' he said and moved on.Now, Laura was drenched with sweat. She watched him until he got up into the lift. When the gates closed, she breathed freely. Others shook their heads in sympathy for her and went back to work.Meanwhile, Tim and George had agreed to visit the boys after work but Tim arrived earlier than necessary. To avoid suspicions like the other day, he visited George's office and met him smiling happily.“What is it? Did you win a jackpot?” He asked after the greetings.“It is not far from that. I got a letter from the Promotion Board.”Although Tim expected that there would be a promotion for the year. Considering his age and the number of ye

    The Canterbury Defense AcademyIt was a few minutes past 4 PM when they drove in and the school was quiet. They were filled with guilt for being the only parents around to disturb.“Are you sure that this is good?” Tim asked him.“I know that it is not good. I will see them all the same,” he said like a spoiled child.“It is all right. I wish to see them as well,” he said and called the Housemaster.The phone began to ring, and they waited anxiously for the Sergeant to pick up his call. Eventually, it timed out.“He must be busy,” he pointed out.“I can call Gerald and he will fish him out from wherever he is,” George proposed.“Let me try again. If he fails to pick up, we will call Gerald.”He tried to do that but the Sergeant's call interrupted his. His face beamed with joy and he looked at George's smiling face.“He is calling back.”“Yes,” he said and received the call.“Good evening, Tim. How is work?”“Good evening, Sgt. Dotson. My work is fine.

    A Few Weeks LaterThe two officers that Tim recommended for promotion had been invited by the Board and he was happy. The thought that George would be promoted as well gave him more joy and a sense of accomplishment.“Grandfather would be happy to hear this,” he said to himself.Nevertheless, the Supreme Military Council had eyes on the Auxiliary Armory PLC as one of the Economic Power House of the country. The discovery of the precious stones was no mean feat, and they recommended the Accountant, and he was happy. Now, Lt. Col. Ben Smirnoff had been waiting patiently for an invitation letter from the Promotion Board but got none. He was not too bothered about it until he learned that the Commandant was invited. His breath almost ceased out of anger.He stared at the wall for a long time before he asked himself, “Why would he be invited without me? He is at it again. That was how he got to his present position after I informed him.”Nevertheless, he has not spoken with him since the

    The old man's eyes showed fear and Tim continued, “We kept many things away from you because they may be too many for you to digest at the same time.”“Why would he do that? I have not offended him. I thought he was standing in for me because I was temporarily incapacitated.”“You don't need to offend people before they envy what you have. Like I said, we kept many things away from you. Take a look at this,” he said and swiped his phone to the video of the fake Duke's confession.(You are right but I just recalled that in addition to praying for him to die, I teamed up with Cecilia and planted a poisonous mushroom in his house. As you can see, I worked harder than everyone.)The old man began to sweat immediately after he got the epiphany. He watched the video again and blurted out, “He shamelessly admitted it.”“That is it. We have to be careful. Did you get me?”“Yes. I wouldn't have known this if not for you.”“I got it. Our next step is to make him take his hands off your office.

They looked at the General, who was sleeping soundly, and wondered what to do."I can wake him up," Richard volunteered and did.George got out of the aircraft by walking confidently down the staircase followed by Jerry and Silas. At that point, many media houses had their beam lights on him. After them, the next person they saw was a disheveled Gen. Anderson, who was in cuffs. Richard guided him until he stepped on the last staircase. Tim got out, too, and adjusted his cross bag.George led them until they got to the tarmac. Before Gen. Anderson crossed, Richard unlocked the cuffs and retrieved them. He gave him an arm salute and as usual, he ignored him.Before they could turn, a Raino soldier cuffed him at once.

    At Tim's House George can take everything but not coming home and not meeting Tim. His countenance changed when Collins stopped in front of the foyer and he got out of the car. They saluted him accordingly and he returned the salute. He walked into the parlor and was disturbed by a message. He checked out for the sender and sat down when he noticed that it was from his father.He punched the message and smiled when he saw the picture of the car."Beautiful," he said and admired it.He read the message and was happy with their progress."Wow!

I have found the person I love and I am getting married. That is it.""Ha, Ella. I can't believe that you are talking about marriage. How is the man?"

When Tim stopped, he was hesitant to get out of the car."Here we are," Richard said and got out of the car.He expected him to do the same thing.

At that time, he had ensured that his secret camera was on.Instead of seeing Dr. Morgan in his office, he led them to the ward hoping to catch the caregiver or anyone responsible for the act. He pushed the door and walked in at once and the others followed.Dr. Rochford was startled and he looked up. He was frightened to see three high-ranking soldiers with unhappy faces. Meanwhile, Vincent woke up when the door creaked and focused on the soldiers. He suspected that they had come for him and sat up. To get the truth from him, Tim smiled broadly, and Dr. Rochford, who they did not recognize,e, was surprised to see that for the first time."Good morning, Vincent," he greeted him.On hearing his first name, he assumed tha

    A broad smile flickered across his lips and he mumbled, "That little boy of yesterday is now taking care of his father. I can't believe it."He looked at Ella, who was sleeping soundly beside him, and his eyes were wet with tears of joy.Thereupon, he began to count his blessings, "The Lord has rewarded me according to my heart's desires because He has seen the cleanness of my hands. Wonderful son and a caring wife. My Dukedom has been upgraded and restored. Above all, the Young man is there for me. What else will I ask from God?"Afterward, he sent a message to Tim and informed him of the allocation. He tossed his phone aside and bent to kiss Ella's temple.

He asked himself and picked up his phone."Mr. Watson," he said and looked at Ella who was waiting to know the caller."The car dealer," he explained and picked up the call."Hello, Mr. Watson.""Good day, Your Grace.

    Meanwhile, George was bitter that he addressed him wrongly and would not allow him to go without being reprimanded. He smiled dryly and answered him, "Not immediately, Gen. Anderson. I will do that after I get justice for the taxi driver you wished to strangle to death."Before that time, he was not aware that he was discovered. Subsequently, he was distressed and wished to die. Just like in a movie scene, he began to faint, but Valentine, who was about to lock the tailgate, grabbed him. Cpl. Barton and Jerry noticed it, walked to him, and helped to steady him."You can't die now," George snarled and gave him a hate look before they walked him to his cell. Richard followed him and unlocked the cuffs and got them back for Tim. He did the same thing for the other suspects and joined the General Manager and George."This is unbelievable," the General Manager pointed out."Just imagine that. Who would suspect that he was hiding there?" Richard responded."See you later," Richard said an
