As the blasting sun burned their scalps, Madam Barlow frowned at Mr. Barlow and asked, "Why haven't they opened the gate yet?" "Stop asking me questions you know I don't have the answer to, woman!" Mr. Barlow lashed out, frowning as he rang the bell again. Annoyed by the hotness from the sun, Madam Barlow cried, "This is all Charles's fault for taking the cars from us, making us use an Uber! How can he be so evil to ill-treat us in our own home!"  When Mr. Barlow played deaf to her words, she frowned and continued, "Catherine would have never…" "Maybe if you would have been a bit nicer to her and Rome in the past…" "Me! How about you?! We

Without opening her eyes, Catherine's hands stroked the sheets, and then she grabbed a phone before raising her eyelids. "Six-fifty! It's still so early?" Catherine groaned in annoyance. Then she looked to the left and pouted at the empty sheets, bothered that Rome wasn't there. "Did he go to work already again?" Catherine mumbled, still feeling drowsy as she sat up in bed. Swaying her gaze back on the phone, Catherine swiped right on its screen and took a long look at its wallpaper before mumbling, "Oh, it's Rome's. That means he is still here." As she was about to toss the blanket off her, the bedroom door opened, and Rome walked in with a tray.

Silence escaped the room when the office door opened, and Rome raised his gaze, giving a half-smile as he watched Mr. Willberg walk into his office. After shutting the door behind him, he marched over to a chair and sat down. "How did it go?" Rome asked, dropping his pen on the papers in front of him. "Smoothly," Mr. Willberg mumbled as he laid a file on the desk. "As we agreed on, I clear Charles's debts with interest, and you hand over the Barlow properties and DreamTeam to me." " Yes. That's the agreement. And these documents are my side of my bargain. All you need to do is sign and the Barlow's wealth is yours." 

With his gaze on Scar’s eyes, Rome held out his finger and mumbled, “Give me a couple of minutes. Catherine is on the line." Then after getting a slight nod from Scar, Rome accepted the call and said, “Hey babe,” Listening to her long groan, Rome waited patiently for it to end, and then he asked, "How did things go with your uncles and Charles?" "Ahha, it was one of the hardest things I had to do. But I did it.” Catherine mumbled, focusing on the empty chairs around the table. “It needed to get done because they deserve it." Resting back against his seat, a half-smile surfaced on Rome’s face, and then he said, “You did good, babe. I’m proud of you." 

As Rome paced back and forth with the phone pressed against his ear, he could feel fear getting the best of him and his hand trembling. After procrastinating for a while, William swallowed hard and finally answered the call and said, “Boss, Ma'am is missing.” It took Rome a moment to process those words because the instant he heard them, his entire mind went blank.  When he finally snapped out of the feeling that had him lost of words, his grip on his phone tightened as he asked, "What do you mean by my wife is missing?!" "She went into 'Dallas Cafe,' I swear to you, boss. But she never came out, and I am inside the building, but it's empty. Not even a staff member is in this place." William cried o
