It was Isabella, the wife of Gray. She wore a bright smile on her face as she said that. '' Really, they don't know where they should put a stop to their quarrel,'' Gray snorted walking up to them.
'' So what are you quarrelling about again?'' Gray asked them. '' No one's quarrelling it's just that clown-'' Olivia begins to say. '' He's not a clown, you can't insult him that way,'' Luc retorts stepping forward.
'' No need to tell us who he is, we know what he is exactly. He's nothing more than a bug who's feeding onto us that's all,'' Isabella added with a smirk. '' Now if you are done we should head over to our seats. The guests are starting to arrive.''

Then how can you give up in this crucial time?'' asked Robin.After a pause, she replied, '' Yes I did, But there's nothing for us to do in such a short time.'''' Lucy,'' he called grabbing onto her shoulders making her face him. '' Look at me, Do you want to give up or try your best to make this success. Everything is not over yet. We can keep trying till we run out of time,'' says Robin.Lucy lifts her head to meet his gaze. His eyes had the fire of determination in them. '' But...even if we try our best and fail?

It was Robin who arrived there in a big van. He gets off the van and runs to Lucy. '' Sorry to make you wait,'' he said caressing her face. '' You were too late. Did you managed to get what you went to look for?'' she asked with tearful eyes.'' Of course,'' he replied with a smile. '' What's the meaning of all this?'' asked Olivia stepping forward. ''What kind of a stunt is this?'' Julia snorted. '' Can you explain all of this?'' added her grandpa.'' Everyone, There's a reason behind all of this,'' Robin begins to say looking at their faces. '' And what's that?'' asked Gray with a smirk. '' The medicines that were sent from the office Lucy had checked them. All of them had expired that's why I went to get them exchanged in the nick of time,'' explained Robin.'' And how's that possible? You are speaking nonsense,'' retorted Julia. '' Why didn't you check yesterday while packing then?''. '' We somehow missed that, but I managed to get it repla

'' What do you mean by that Lucy?'' Olivia asked stepping forward. ''What I mean is... if the medicines sent last night were real ones then they had to be replaced by someone on the way. That's why the ones that arrived here are fake. The question is who did this.''Lucy looked at Julia. She felt agitated by this. '' Hey, why are you looking at me in my direction? Do you think I did this?'' Julia snarled at her. '' It's not like I said you did this. Why are you taking all the blame upon yourself it's not like you,'' Lucy added.'' Exactly, there's no point in you getting angry now. Calm down,'' Olivia tried to calm her down. '' Why are you reacting? They will suspect you. Stay calm,'' Olivia whispered to her.After listening to everything her grandpa said,'' I think we should consult the police in this. They will be able to find the culprit much faster than this.

He had a sour expression on his face. Mr.Campbell was listening to all of them. He decided to step forward.'' Everyone silent, I am the one who shall talk here,'' stated Mr.Campbell rolled his eyes over their faces. He faced Kim Jong. '' Do you have any proof on what you are talking about ?'' asked Mr.Campbell.'' I have the proof,'' added a voice from behind them. They all looked at the source of attraction. It was Chelsa. '' What proof?'' asked Burns. '' Hey, you were not here all these while what kind of a proof do you have?'' '' Gray retorted stepping forward. He was glaring at Chelsa feeling she's betraying him. He could hear his heartbeat as blood was rushing to his head.Chelsa steps forward walking up to them. '' I was not here but I just came to have a peek to h
