“Eldest Miss of the Parker's?” He raised his brows at her statement. He was utterly surprised at such a statement.
This is the first time hearing thatParker had another female in their midst.

“Yes Sir. She goes by the name, Alexa.”

“Hmm, I see ” He excused himself and met his father in the living room.

“Where is my granddaughter?” The old man cackled and sipped his herbs.
The news of the young Miss Smith's embarrassing scene at Chieur went viral that it got to the old man's ears.

“Dad, you spoil her too much. See what she has become!” He crosses his legs and scrolls through the news.

“Do not tell me how to take care of my grandchild.”
Khloe came downstairs instantly when she heard the voice of her beloved grandfather.
She knew crying and having blowups in front of her father would not make any gain to her troubles so she had to turn to her grandfather.

“My little sugar pie is red and with dark holes. Who did this to you?” He fondles her hair and pinches her cheeks?

“Pa! Can you believe that Ray is married! He married a new model and she dared to humilate me, grandfather. ”
HanKhloe pouts her lips like a child begging for something. It could not be too overemphasized that the old man Han spoils his grandchildren.

“Ray is wedded? How come I was not invited to the wedding?” He laughed out when he saw more red spots on her face.
He did not expect Ray to be engaged to someone that soon. Though he hated the decision of his son by sending her to Canada but later agreed when he knew that he did not have any mindset of marriage.

“Grandpa, can you stop making fun out of everything I say? I am serious. ” She wraps her arm around the old man and snuggles him.

“Okay. I will stop. Don't bother, I will contact his mother to ask for the details. As for that Miss Parker, I will send someone to deal with her okay?”
He reached for his phone and texted an unknown number and later dialed Emily's number.

“Old man Smith?” She said as the caller's end remained silent.

“Emily. Did you forget my voice so soon?”

“Of course not. It is just rare for you to call me. Anything wrong?”

“Yes, there is. My granddaughter just told me that your son is married to a woman.”

“Oh, that! It will be fixed very soon. I like your granddaughter and I am so sure she is better off with him than that model thing. Give me some time to break them apart. ”

“Do not go back on your words!”
The call disconnected as she hisses.

“What were your findings of their new relationship?”Emily interrogated her assistant.
No matter how many times she arranges a huge sum of money to break her off from her son, she rejects it and behaves arrogantly.

“Ma'am, She is pregnant ”
Emily's hands banged loudly on the glass table and it broke in half. She gazes at the bleeding hand and waves it off.
She collected the file from the girl and squeezed it into pieces.

“When did they go for the embryo transfusion?” She calms herself down.

“Just last week.”

“Get me the doctor's details they attended to and send my men to deal with him. Then clear my schedule tomorrow, I want to see that bitchy model ”
She puffed out smoke and stroked the cigarette on a matchstick.

“Yes ma'am!” She turned her back to leave when she forgot to mention one more thing.

“Grandma Brooklyn is arriving soon from her vacation from the Bahamas and tried reaching you on her cell phone but failed to do so.” The assistant waited for her reaction nevertheless, felt none.

“Do whatever you can to keep her held in that city! She shall not come and ruin my plan like she always does ”
Emily hated the one who ruined her well and perfect plan to be destroyed.
They were not on a nice term hence, she hated it whenever Brooklyn Hudston came back.
She bowed her head and left Emily in her office.

“Alexa, Alexa, Alexa! You have become a parasite for me. And once a leech, you must be eradicated!”

Meanwhile,
Olivia breathed out as she passed the application form to the company. This morning, she got an inbox from a modeling company, Superstar Entertainment, saying they are interested in Parker Alexa.
Her legs were all robbed of sleep and it wobbled.
She rested her head on her car chair and tuned the radio to music. She plugged her car keys into the keyhole, started the engine, and drove to her son's school.
She often forgot to pick her son from school, therefore, her friend picked him up.
She had a look at her watch and smiled. She had little time before they closed and was excited to see the smile on his face when his mother picked him up from school.
Olivia arrived at the entrance of the school to meet the closing bell ringing. She parked her car to the left and came down.

“Excuse me, I am looking for Lionel Jonnes. ” She said as she asked politely from his teacher.
The teacher stood and looked at her confused at what she said.

‘Didn't she just pick him up from school an hour ago?’ Her mind wandered as she responded.

“Mrs. Jonnes, your son had left the school before closing hours. A man in his fifties claimed to be his father and had him picked up from school.”
Olivia's handbag fell as her grip tightened up. Her knees could not take the pressure anymore and wobble.

“What did you say?” Her fingers still clenched together with the phone. She could not believe that her scumbag husband would resort to kidnapping her son just to make her submit at his mercy.

“I am sorry ma. We could not do anything. He provided concrete evidence to show Lionel is his blood and therefore, he took the child. ”
The teacher apologized for her incompetent behavior. She did not know the feud that went on between them, thus, she thought it was normal for his father to pick him up.
Olivia ruffled her hair in frustration. She could not blame the woman for letting her hands off the child.

“I understand. Thank you ” Olivia silently said and the teacher left. “That motherfucker!”
She screamed out and angrily drove away from the school's premises.

On the Road.
“Ring, ring, ring. Please!” She presses the dial button.

“I am sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached at this moment, please dial again!”

“Fuck your phone! This is the twentieth time!” She yelled at the phone and held her steering wheel tightly.
She has dialed her friend's phone, yet she got the same response.Cedric was not picking up his phone either.

“Damn it! ” She swiped her phone to receive his call.

“How is my beautiful wife doing?” He cozily replied to the phone call. “Our son is doing well with me, don't you think so?”

“Cedric! If any finger is laid on my son! You will pay the price! I am warning you!”

“Why would I harm OUR son? I give you two hours to get him or consider him dead!” He abruptly cut the call.

“Cedric!”
Olivia screamed out his name on the phone and a bang was heard. Another car had crashed with hers.

“What is that sound?” The man dressed in a blue suit with a black strip said as he dropped his Ipad on the chair.

“I am sorry Sir. She hit us first. ” Vivian came down alongside Anthony Armis.

“Excuse me, Ma! You hit us ” Vivian knocked softly on Olivia's glass.
Her knock snapped Olivia out of her daze and she came down. Her mouth widened when she realized what had happened.
She hit a person's car. She scanned through the body of the car and noticed she was the one who crashed into them first.

“I am sorry. I didn't mean to hit you. I will pay, how much is the damage?” Olivia shifted the strand of her hair that fell on her eyes and lifted her head to see the owner of the car.
The man laid on the crashed car with his hands tucked in the pocket of the suit. His hair parted to one side covering half of his face including his left eyes.

“The damage?” His voice rang in her ears and tingled. His voice sounded like an Angel.

“Ms. Jonnes, the cost of the car is $300,000,000. How do you want to pay, cash or cheque?”
Olivia's eyes widened. His car did not have the flashy look a rich man has and yet, cost so much?
Anthony Armis watched the feeble woman as she racked her brain for a solution. He smiled sheepishly at her and cleared his throat.

“Miss Jonnes, do you not remember me anymore?”
