Stopping his car at a villa out in the suburbs, Kyle saw Antonette waiting for him at the door. She was wearing a very short skirt and a low-cut top.
Kyle got out of the car with the paper in hand.
“Can you not dress like a whore?” Kyle frowned.
Antonette’s smile froze, and her face turned red. Kyle looked straight past her and walked into the villa.
They went up to the study, and Kyle put the papers down on the table.
“Here are the financial reports of the William Group for the last two quarters. Make a copy and bring it to Chapman.”
Antonette smiled. “Kyle, your man is very good.”
“Stop wasting time, just do it.”
The plan was to use Chapman’s company as an intermediary, transfer the money from the William Group via Chapman’s company, and eventually into Kyle’s account.
Seeing Kyle’s eagerness to get away, Antonette laughed.
“Are you going home to see your ugly wife?” In Antonette’s opinion, Carol was not sexy at all, particularly after losing her second baby.
“Who said you could speak like that about my wife?” Kyle said coldly.
Antonette was put out by Kyle’s reaction. She smiled awkwardly and said, “What’s the matter? I thought you hated her too?”
“Antonette, I have never beaten a woman. But I will seriously hurt you if you keep talking like that,” Kyle warned. And with that, Kyle stormed out.

The next day, Brian drove in to work as usual. As soon as he arrived, his assistant ran to him and said, “Boss, the CCTV outside your office went down for a few minutes last night.”
“What?” Brian was nervous and walked quickly up to his office.
However, he arrived too late as just minutes beforehand, a man in uniform had snuck into Brian’s office and put back the stolen paper.
Brian and his assistant checked his office and went through all the confidential papers. To their relief, they found that nothing was gone.
“Everything is okay. You can go back to work now,” Brian said.
The assistant nodded and walked out.
Meanwhile, Kate and Simon arrived at the café to meet Ken’s parents, who had been waiting there for a few minutes already.
Ken stood up respectfully when he saw Kate.
Simon scoffed loudly at Ken, trying to be a gentleman. This was met with a filthy look from Sybil, who, of course, didn’t like her father. As for Kate, she didn’t care for Simon at all. She had only asked him to come because he was Sybil’s father.
Simon sat there, awkwardly, feeling ignored and unwanted.
Ken’s father was French, and his mother was Chinese. As his father didn’t know the customs of western weddings, Ken’s mother was to be the decision-maker. She was quite different from Kate, very kind and tender. And this soon helped Kate warm to her.
Sybil and Ken’s mothers had a positive talk and decided that the wedding would be held in the William Group hotel.
Brian didn’t know anything about Sybil’s upcoming wedding.
When she realized he was unaware, Kate called him immediately to talk about the details.
Brian was shocked. So, Sybil and Ken were getting married at the same time it had taken Diana to forgive him?
“You have to arrange it as quick as you can,” Kate repeated. After all, Sybil was pregnant now. Even if Sybil could wait, the baby wouldn’t. The wedding had to be completed before Sybil gave birth.
Brian nodded. After he finished talking to his mother, Brian saw Ken dropping Sybil home. Sybil had thought it would be better if they were separated before the wedding, so she had asked to move back in with Kate. Of course, Ken agreed with her; he would agree with whatever Sybil said.
Brian went out to confront Ken. The two men stared at each other out. The tension was extreme. Then, without warning, Brian punched Ken’s belly hard with all his strength.
The hit was unexpected, and Ken had to squat down to catch his breath.
“Brian! What are you doing?” Sybil shouted.
Brian came close to Ken’s face.
“I punched you because you made Sybil pregnant before marrying her.” And that was it, Brian left.
Sybil grumbled, “You’re mental! Many women get pregnant before marriage these days. You are a nut! Now I know why Diana doesn’t like you!”
Sybil squatted down and comforted Ken again worriedly, “Are you okay?”
Ken shook his head and, surprisingly, stood up for Brian.
“I understand why he is mad at me.”
“But he beat you!” Sybil exclaimed. She would never understand male logic.
Standing at the airport, Diana waited at the arrival terminal for her parents. They were due to get back from their trip today. And a few days later, they would continue their travels again.
Diana’s mother and father walked out arm in arm. Seeing Diana, her mother waved at her excitedly.
“I missed you so much!” said Diana’s mother, gently touching her face.
“If you really missed me, you would have come back long ago…” Diana moaned.
“Diana, what are you talking about? Your mother and I raised you and your brother. Now you are adults, we are finally free to travel. How could you ask us to come back to help you? You disappoint me.”
“I agree, darling,” Mrs. Anderson uttered immediately.
Diana rolled her eyes. “I know you didn’t want to come back at all. If you didn’t have to sign the shareholder’s agreement, you wouldn’t be here.”
Diana’s father and mother were the owners of Anderson Pharmacy. So, the contract with the William Group wouldn’t take effect until they signed it.
“We did miss you too, honey,” Mrs. Anderson said warmly.
The three of them laughed and chatted happily with each other.
Diana was so focused on the conversation that she didn’t notice the girl in sunglasses hovering near them.
Once Diana and her parents were out of sight, the girl removed the sunglasses and showed her face. It was Antonette.
She stared at them with hatred. Her plan had been to act as one of Diana’s employees picking Mr. and Mrs. Anderson up at the airport and then preventing them from signing the contract. She had not anticipated that Diana would come to pick her parents up herself!
