Before Chloe could reply, the front door opened; and in walked Madison and Nick. "You heard what she said, grandma; and for the record, you have always tried to hold me back, just like how you held brother Derek back as well. I wanted to show you how wrong you are by proving to you, all of you, that I am just as capable as everyone here, if not more so!" Madison confidently declared. "To think....that not only did you try to hold her back; but you even resorted to killing her....your own granddaughter!! What sort of animal are you?!?!?" Nick was enraged, his eyes were red with anger while criticizing Madam Louise. "You dare to ask if any of us deserve to be called your grandchildren? Do you even deserve to be called grandma? I know who I'm talking to...a cold-blooded murderer who deserves to rot in jail!" shouted Chloe, still enraged, while standing up and joining Madison and Nick."Raymond! Get your daughters in check or Chloe can forget about being EVP of DreamSmith!" ordered Mada

Derek sauntered his way to join his team in the Smith living room, stopping to hug his parents Peter and Lea."Wait....how do you know Mr and Mrs Quinton?" asked Juri."More importantly, Mr and Mrs Quinton...why are you hugging that trash loser?" asked Charles, angry that Derek was in his presence. Peter and Lea's expression turned dark upon hearing Charles's disrespectful question."Are you calling my son a trash loser?!?" Peter asked with rage in his eyes."Your son?" Raymond asked in shock."Haven't you Smith blockheads figured it out yet? Or does he have to spell it out for you?" Amanda asked, annoyed. "You know what, honey? It's ok. I'll say it. It means more for them to hear my reveal." said Derek.Turning to the Smith family, Derek frowned at all of them before revealing his true identity. "You heard what my dad, my biological father said. I'm not Derek Smith. My name...is Derek! Quinton!" revealed Derek. All of the Smith family members slumped back to their seats in utter

"I'm not done yet." said Derek, turning his attention to the rest of the Smith family. All the Smith family members, including Madison and Chloe, looked downwards, not daring to look Derek in the eyes.They all knew deep down that they have mistreated Derek his whole life. They were afraid of what Derek might say or do to punish them."Charles is just as guilty as his grandmother. For attempting to conspire to murder me, Madison and Nick, Chief Martin, I want to press full charges against Charles." said Derek."You have absolute right to do so, Mr Quinton. Gentleman, release the zip ties and place him in cuffs." Chief Martin ordered.Two more officers proceeded to cut off the zip ties bounding Charles to his seat. They then pulled a deflated Charles to his feet before placing Charles in handcuffs as well.As they escorted Charles out of the living room, Charles, handcuffed, turned back to look at Derek one last time, his face filled with regret.'If I only I had known sooner....what

The sun shone brighter than usual. All around Townsville, the buzz was the surprise revelation from the night before at the Townsville Exhibition Center. On the front page of the Townsville newspaper that Peter Quinton was reading, there was a picture of the Quinton family members hugging each other on the stage. In the Quinton Mansion, the Quinton family was enjoying their breakfast more heartily than usual. There was a more relaxed atmosphere in the dining room, now that Derek has emerged from the shadows and revealed his true identity at the closing moments of the event. "Son, it's a new day. Now you can be your true self, as Derek Quinton. What's next for you?" Peter asked Derek. "This journey is just getting started, dad. Now that Madison is officially our partner in the BDT mall rebuild as well as the beach resort, now that QC Enterprise is directly involved in providing the necessary materials for both projects, we need to work closely together." "In addition, I'm sure the

The sunny blue skies graced the reflective luster of the waves greeting the beach.Cooling winds brought about a much needed lowering of the hot summer temperature.At a chapel located next to the new Quinton Consortium Beach Resort, Peter and Lea Quinton sat at the front pew, looking proudly at their son, Derek.Next to the Quintons were two pictures perfectly framed and placed on the pew bench. The pictures were photos of Edward and Emma Smith, signifying their spirits were with their adopted son.Church bells are ringing. It's almost time for the moment Derek and Amanda have been waiting for.Standing at the altar, Derek looked suave and handsome in his all white tuxedo; but uncharacteristically, he was a nervous wreck, fidgeting on his spot."Brother, are you OK?" asked Nick, his best man. "Yeah, I'm ok. It's just all this waiting. The longer I wait, the more jittery I get." replied Derek."Brother Derek, take a deep breath. That's what got me through in my wedding." advised Desmo

Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 3 - Quinton Consortium Worldwide
The cameras were flashing as journalists and reporters gathered at the eagerly anticipated launch of the new mall in Townsville, specifically located near the Townsville Hillside Condo. Standing in front of the main entrance, Desmond and Jocelyn faced the crowd. Desmond then took the mic to address the crowd, "After months of construction, through reported ups and downs, we are happy to announce, on behalf of the Quinton Consortium, the officially opening of Townsville Hillside Mall." said Desmond. He then took his side next to Jocelyn and proceeded to perform the cutting of the ribbon, signalling that the Townsville Hillside Mall was officially opened. Applause rang all around the front as Desmond and Jocelyn opened the front entrance doors, welcoming the crowd into the mall. In another corner of Townsville, Wayne and Kimberly were also dressed sharply; but for a different reason. Joining them were Roland and Elaine Russo, as all four of them stood in front of the main entrance t
Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 2 - The Don and his bride
"Brother Derek, are you sure about this?" asked Charles as he looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a tuxedo; but not any ordinary tuxedo. Derek had Charles wear his diamond encrusted tuxedo, the most expensive tuxedo he bought from Nick Lopez when he first found out he was a Quinton. "I'm sure about it, Charles. I know I bought it for me initially; but in all honesty, you wearing this tux means so much more." Derek reassured Charles. "Man, I'm nervous. Brother, how did you even go through your wedding with Ms. Amanda?" asked Charles exasperately. "Desmond told me to take a deep breath to calm my nerves. It could work for you, too." replied Derek. Charles decided to take Derek's advice and took two deep breaths. Surprisingly, he felt much calmer. Then he and Derek heard a knock on the door. In walked Mason, "Brother, are you ready?" asked Mason. "As ready as I'll ever be." replied Charles. All three of them then walked upstairs... to the top deck of Charles's superyach
Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 1 - Closure
The prison gate key entered the lock. With a click, the warden opened the cell gate, with mixed emotions. "Madam Louise... it's time." In her cell, Madam Louise looked around the jail cell she had been living in, serving her time for her past wrongs. She thought about the time she spent in the cell, forming a close friendship with the warden, being released early to help Team Quinton and the Phoenix Mafia, eventually being a key player in the fight against Pamela. It was a sad day to leave her family after the fight ended; but heading back to prison was necessary. Thanks to Lea Quinton, however, she did not have to stay in prison any longer. She received a pardon from the Mayor of Townsville; and now, she can leave the Townsville prison freely. She slowly stood up and walked towards the cell door, where she noticed her warden friend had a tear in his eye. Smiling slightly, she wiped the tear away from his eye. "No need to weep for me, young man. We will meet again, outside of t

With the mask worn on his face; and the briefcase full of cash repacked into a duffel bag found in the control room, Charles slung the bag over his shoulder, ready to move out of Pamela's HQ. Before heading out, Charles made sure to surround himself in a nanoshield sphere to avoid any sudden sneak attacks. After which, Charles used his upgraded suit to do a thorough scan, looking to devise an alternate way out of Pamela's HQ. 'Hmmm... it looks like I'm going to have to blast my way out of here. Time to check out what weapons are at my disposal.' Charles thought to himself. Scanning the system in his suit through his mask, Charles was surprised to find various forms of weaponry to pave his way out. "Well then, let's get started." Charles said to himself. However, as we was about to step out of Pamela's control room, an alarm sounded inside of the control room. Red emergency lights were flickering in the control room. Charles turned his direction to one of the screens in the control

"Gerard! Andrea! You certainly have some guts showing your faces here after you betrayed me!" Pamela sneered at the couple. "Lady Boss... wait! We did not betray you." Gerard defended himself. "That's right, Lady Boss! The hostages... they escaped!!" shouted Andrea. "WHAT?!?!?" Pamela shouted angrily. She then turned her attention to Charles, who was standing there, perplexed. "Charles!! You were at the dungeon earlier. You said you saw your team in their cells. Is that true?!?" Pamela asked authoritatively. "Absolutely, Lady Boss. I personally locked up the dungeon after making sure that loser Derek was in his cell." replied Charles. "He's lying, Lady Boss. Charles must still be working with his friends. Somehow, they managed to get their suits from the lab and escape from this place." Gerard said accusingly, pointing at Charles at the same time. "Hold on there, Gerard. Up until just now, when Lady Boss showed me her lab, I did not even know that existed." Charles defended hims

"You tell me, Charles. How did you and that loser escape in the first place?" Pamela asked suspiciously. Charles was calm in his answer, "Well, I found a couple of metal pins in my cell and I used it to pick my cell lock." Charles began. "Once I got free, that's where I hatched my plan. I picked the lock of Derek's cell. I had to convince him that he and I were on the same team in taking you out. So, while the rest were in their cells, which, by the way, they still are, Derek and I made our way out of the dungeon." explained Charles. "Well, you certainly have some talent, unlike that loser. Still, Gerard and Andrea not reporting back is concerning for me." replied Pamela. As she looked at the monitors of the control room, she noticed something peculiar, then she started frowning. "What's wrong, Lady Boss?" asked Charles. "Take a look at that." said Pamela, pointing Charles's attention to one of the monitors surveying the lab. "What about it, Lady Boss?" asked Charles curiously. "C

Before Charles could answer, they heard footsteps approaching the dungeon. Derek passed Gerard's dungeon keys to Charles before he cloaked himself again. In order to play along with Pamela's ploy, Charles quickly opened the dungeon door, placed Victoria gently inside before locking the door again. The footsteps grew audibly closer towards the dungeon door. Charles turned his attention towards the sound of those footsteps and walked in that direction, taking caution to who he might run into. As he turned around the corner, he found out who those footsteps belong to. "Oh my gosh, Esther. What are you doing here?" Charles exclaimed softly as he embraced his girlfriend. "Wait, you shouldn't be here. Didn't Mr. Quinton give you and the rest the order to head to the safehouse?" asked Charles. "I had to come here. I was not going to let that b***h Pamela take you." replied Esther emotionally. Just then, Derek decloaked himself and met up with Charles and Esther. "Esther, so it was you. G

"Ok, Charles, the feed is on." said Pamela. "Take your position, on Derek's right side." "Understood, Lady Boss." replied Charles. Seconds later, everyone, including the people in the Phoenix Bunker, the safehouse and the combined invasion and rescue team saw the live feed on their screens. "Your eyes do not deceive you, Peter. Charles has betrayed you. He has decided to join a real mafia and I will nurture him properly, so he can be a real Don." began Pamela. "As you can see, I have your son as hostage. If you ever want to see Derek again, in one piece and alive, firstly, call off your attack dogs. Secondly, you will, and I mean WILL, surrender your precious Quinton Consortium to me. Oh, before I forget, that includes your so-called Phoenix Mafia as well." "And just in case you think I'm not being serious... " Pamela then did something no one expected. She pressed a button on her control panel; and in the next moment, Ivy's suit emerged from a corner of her control room. 'What th
