“I was such an idiot for never giving you anything from all those jewelry collections you helped me design,” Roger grimaced, truly regretting now that he had lost Deborah. He knew the reason for the divorce, but his pride refused to accept that she was the one who left him. “Tch... maybe I should change a little. Maybe I should make a baby with you won't be alone at home once I get you back.""Who are you talking to?"Roger raised his gaze and found his younger brother staring at him. The former’s eyebrows immediately knitted together. "What do you want?""I came to see you because Dad wants to know if you've found my sister-in-law yet.""Obviously not, or you wouldn't be here at the company.""Hm... you know, I still don't understand why you hate me.""Because you were born to take everything from me, just like Mom said.""Well, that's a shame, because I used to admire you, brother, but now I just pity you.""You..." Roger stood up to hit him, but just as he was about to close

"Dad, I'm heading out too," Elliot said, trying to disguise his excitement."Alright, son, it's almost lunchtime anyway," George said, noticing what Elliot was trying to hide. "Do you want to eat together?""Sorry, Dad, I already have plans.""Okay, be careful. Remember to come back on time because as a boss, you should set an example.""Got it," Elliot declared happily, then turned around and started running to the designated place mentioned in that message.The meeting place was a restaurant, so when Elliot arrived, he asked for a table for two in a somewhat secluded area for more privacy.Once seated, he sent a message to that person to let them know he had already secured a table. Elliot felt a little anxious yet happy because his sister-in-law had finally contacted him. He enjoyed her company and saw her as the sister he never had.While waiting, he ordered food for both of them. After about five minutes, someone tapped his shoulder, startling him a little. Elliot whipped

"So, where are you staying right now?"[That's a secret.]"Aww, that's mean."[But if you want, I can give you my phone number.]"Well, that works."[I still can't tell you where I am because I want to be off the radar until the trial.]"I understand, Debbie. For now, I'll settle for your number," he said, jotting down the number. "And do you know the gender yet?"[I'm only two and a half months along.]"Ah... I see, but you'll tell me as soon as you know, right?"[Of course, you'll be one of the first to know.]Elliot was happy to hear that, reassured that his sister-in-law hadn't forgotten him.After finishing their meal, they decided to take a stroll through the streets to spend more time together. They eventually had to say goodbye when it was time for Elliot to return to the office."I'll text you later," he said, looking into her eyes.[Sure, I'll be waiting for your message.]"See you later, Debbie," he said happily, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek before rushi

The days began to pass quickly, and despite Roger and his lawyer's best efforts to prevent it, news of the trial became public. Now, all the media were digging for details about the big scandal, which meant that the families involved started getting harassed by curious reporters.In addition, gossip spread quickly within the Peterson Group."So…now he's just an ordinary employee.""He deserves it.""Yeah, God, it was disgusting to see that stupid blonde parading around like she owned the place.""It's good that traitors get what they deserve.""Now that he doesn't have money, he doesn't feel so untouchable anymore."Roger frowned, gripping the pencil tightly and breaking it in the process—those ‘idiots’ were talking as if he wasn't just meters away from them.‘When I become president again, I'll fire all of you. You'll see, I'll make you suffer,’ Roger thought, cursing his so-called colleagues."Hey, you're here to work, so cut the gossip," Edgar's voice came, scolding his sub

Elliot: Deborah, are you okay? Deborah: Yeah, I’m just relaxing at home. Why? O.o? Elliot: Phew… that’s good to hear. It’s chaos over here X-X. Reporters are everywhere, and Mom is going hysterical about not being able to leave the house without getting harassed. Deborah: Heh… that’s new. Doesn't she usually love being the center of attention? Elliot: She’s crazy about being in the spotlight but not when it’s a scandal involving her precious son. Deborah: But this happened because she allowed Roger to have an affair with Sophia. So, I don’t get what she’s complaining about now. :/ Elliot: I know… Anyway, have the reporters been bothering you? Deborah: Don’t worry. I’m well hidden; they don’t know where I live. Elliot: Are you sure? With all the commotion, a neighbor might tip off the media about where you are. Deborah: Even if a neighbor gives them a lead, the place I live has pretty tight security. They can’t harass me that easily. Elliot: That’s good to hear, Debb

Amid scandals and rough times for both families, the dreaded day of the trial arrived.It was the moment of truth, and everyone had one thing on their minds: getting revenge on Deborah. They swore that as soon as they saw her in court, they’d make her regret her stupid actions that had caused them so many problems. Isabelle was most upset because her friends were ignoring her, frustrating her to no end. “Son, as soon as you see that mute, don’t hesitate to punish her for what she did,” Isabelle instructed Roger as she got out of the car. The entire family had accompanied Roger to the trial. “You’re not going to do anything,” George scolded as he shut the car door. “Mom, it’s embarrassing to hear you talk like that,” Elliot said, standing beside his father after getting out. “Don’t you dare judge me. Show me some respect,” Isabelle declared angrily. “Then behave yourself, woman. God… it’s true what they say: a woman’s worst enemy is another woman,” George commented, glaring

Roger stared at her, puzzled for a moment, before noticing that Caroline was looking to her left. Her words also caught the attention of everyone else in the room. When they turned to look in the same direction as Caroline, they were surprised to see a beautiful brunette woman with short hair approaching them. Roger felt as though he was in some sort of dream or a prank show because it wasn’t possible that this beautiful woman before him was Deborah, his mute wife. This woman was well-groomed, wearing makeup, and dressed in new clothes: a white long-sleeved blouse and a black pencil skirt that accentuated her slim, well-formed body. As she walked past him, he wondered if Deborah had always been this beautiful. In his memories, she had always worn the same clothes since they got married, which he found disgusting and unattractive. [Hello, Roger.] Deborah stood next to Christian. Roger was now certain it was Deborah. He recognized those same blue eyes and saw her signing at him,

[I want a divorce.] Roger was momentarily relieved that she couldn't speak, thinking that no one would understand her. But then he heard some reporters repeating Deborah’s words, indicating there were translators among them. "Deborah, you ungrateful wretch," Isabelle declared as she marched toward them, fed up with the mute’s complaints. She refused to tolerate anything Deborah did and intended to help her son put her in her place. "Ma’am, step back. Only those involved in the trial should be here," Christian said. "Mind your own business, you insolent man," Isabelle snapped at Christian before turning to her daughter-in-law. "And you, end this charade. Can't you see you're hurting my poor son with your irrational complaints?" "Well, we'll see about that 'poor' part," a deep voice declared, revealing that the judge had arrived. He had a deep frown as he looked at the crowd. Roger grimaced, realizing he could no longer avoid the trial. Still, he had several plans to ensure t

He also apologized to his little brother for being such a jerk.Even though he didn’t want to, Elliot reluctantly accepted the apologies because his wife convinced him that holding onto grudges wasn’t healthy.Unfortunately, the Peterson family only got to celebrate being united for a short period of time because two weeks after that reconciliation… George passed away of natural causes.That was a tragic moment for everyone, one that shook his friends, reminding them of how precious and short life is.

These are the reports of the current buildings for sale in the city.”“Huh… are you already looking into that?”“Well, son, your sister graduates next year, and a year is not a lot of time to start a company from scratch.”“Will it already be furnished for her?” he asked, taking the documents to read them.“Yes, that’s why I want to buy a warehouse to remodel or a vacant lot so you and your dad can work your magic to build it and make it just like Elizabeth wants.”“It’s a project I can’t wait to start,” James said excitedly.“Your little siblings are also helping me, looking into sewing stores to buy industrial

Extra 38: A Father’s FearsHonestly, it was a strange conversation for James, one he never thought he’d have… in fact, not even in his wildest dreams did he imagine having this kind of interaction with the man who was supposedly his biological father.After telling him a bit about his school life, James paid the bill and said goodbye to Roger, as he had to get back to the office; he didn’t want to be away from work for too long.When he entered the conference room, he saw his father talking to some other architects.“Great, we’re all set then,” Jayden said, dismissing them. “Son, how did it go?” he asked as James approached him.“Fine, but it was weird.”“So... has he started to feel his age?”“I think so,” James replied, making a face.“And what did he want?”“Well, he just started talking to me, apologizing for being absent, and now he wants us to meet up to talk because he wants to get to know me,” James said, scratching his head. “I don’t know… it seemed odd that he wants

My family supported me, and thanks to learning the truth, I understood why we had three grandfathers.”“I imagine you became an architect because of Jayden.”“That’s right. My motivation was seeing how his drawings came to life… it excited me to the point where I wanted to do the same, and as the days went by, that desire grew stronger, so I decided to make it a reality,” he said, his excitement evident in his words. “Though I also saw that Uncle did something similar by turning his sketches into beautiful jewelry, but that didn’t impress me as much.”“I see, but didn’t my dad teach you the basics of the company?”“Yes, Grandpa showed me the trade,” James said with a smile. “In fact, I’m a good appraiser, and I know how to make jewelry because Uncle also taught me the basics of jewelry design and creation. But I see that as a hobby because the only jewelry I’ve made has been for my mom, my sisters

What are you doing here?” James questioned, frowning slightly.“James… I…” Roger stammered nervously, his words catching in his throat and refusing to come out.“Are you here to apologize on behalf of your daughter?”“Something like that,” he said, finally managing to speak, though he made a face. “Would you let me talk to you?”“To me?” James asked, confused, pointing to himself. “About what?”“Can I invite you for a drink so we can talk?”“What do you want with my son?” At that moment, Roger saw his longtime rival approaching and standing next to the young man.“Jayden, please let me talk to James,” Roger pleaded.The now platinum-blonde looked confused at his rival. It was the first time Roger had called him by his name, and he could see that Roger seemed genuinely sorry and defeated. Jayden let out a sigh. “James, go with him.”“What?” James looked at him, surprised and confused.“Are you serious?” Roger said, a note of h

I think whatever happened last night should have made the situation clear.”“But…”“They no longer see me as family, and they never recognized you as such, so just forget about it because it’s only the three of us, no one else.”“No…”“Cassandra, enough,” her mother scolded. “I told you yesterday not to go, and all you did was humiliate yourselves in public,” she said, looking her daughter in the eyes. “Grow up already.

Extra 36: Late Regrets Part 1Roger didn’t return home for the rest of the night. He ignored the cries of his ‘daughter’ as he headed to the nearest bar to have a drink and try to clear his mind.Seeing his father defeated and exhausted had made him stop and think.While sipping his third beer, he raised his gaze and saw his reflection in the mirror behind the bar, realizing that an old man was staring back at him... which scared him. He now looked at his hands, which had more wrinkles than he remembered. When had he changed so much?His once beautiful hair was now streaked with gray, his face showed his age, and he had dark circles under his dull eyes.When had he gotten so old?And why did he look like this?He was supposed to age gracefully, but that wasn’t the case... because what he saw in that mirror was a shell of the successful man he once was.He thought back to James. That boy had surpassed him in height; he was the version of himself Roger had always wanted to be: ta

He was Roger’s spitting image, giving the latter the same hateful look Roger himself wore.“I should ask you the same thing, sir. Who do you think you are, crashing a private event?” James asked.Roger was about to respond, but…“What’s the meaning of this?” George asked, approaching them.“Grandpa, they attacked me, and…” Cassandra started to say.“Miss, don’t call my grandpa ‘Grandpa,’” declared Howard.“Tom, call security,” Eric ordered. “Get these two out of the party.”Among the guests, a blond young man recognized Cassandra but didn’t go to help her because his parents didn’t allow it.
