Charles instructed Mr. Feng to sanction security guards around his house after he dropped the call with his father. He expected his father to summon him back home but he never expected it to be that fast.
“What will happen now?” Carolyn/ Violet asked.
“If you’re asking me that, I believe you meant what will happen to you because I can always return back home, but I can’t take you with me,” he said, and she scoffed looking away.
They heard commotion outside, and Mr. Feng went to check to see Dylan in company of some men.
“Mr. Hewlett, good morning, sir,”
“Why are they stopping me?” Dylan asked.
“I’m sorry, sir. They are simply following instructions. You’re free to come in, but you can’t take your guards with you,”
“And why is that?”
“My master is very wary of strangers,”
“Your master? Charles? Then he wouldn’t want me here either,” Dylan said.
“Just as you assume stepbrother,” Charles said, joining them.
Dylan went in while his guards stayed behind.
“Why are you here?” Charles asked.
“To bring you back home. But seems like we have to bundle someone else along with us,” he said, looking at Carolyn/Violet who excused herself immediately.
“I never said I will return with you,”
“But you will have to. Father sent me,”
“We both know I don’t listen to anyone,”
“Your new girl, she is not your type,”
“She is not my girl,”
“When did you get her? I never expect you to allow a lady in. Is she a help?”
“Didn’t your little birds tell you about her or you are just pretending?”
“What little birds?”
“The ones that are always watching me closely. They aren’t discreet enough so it’s easy to fish them out. Hire professional next time,”
“You knew?”
“I guessed, and I was right. I expected that much from you and your stepfather,”
“Then you should have been more careful,”
“I don’t need to be careful around them. They won’t harm me. They are like secret guards to protect me, they will only spy on me, and guard me at the same time,”
“They aren’t your guards. They won’t interfere if you’re in danger,”
“And they won’t harm me either, all the same,”
“If I were you, I would be more careful,”
“Since I’m me, I won’t take your advice,”
“Are you really interested in the company or you are doing all these to provoke dad?”
“What do you think?”
“I think you’re really interested,”
“And if you’re right?”
“If you want to take control of your shares, you’ll do it properly. Dad didn’t steal your shares, so you can’t file a lawsuit against him,”
“Has he agreed to give it back?”
“He can’t,”
“Why? If he doesn’t give it back, then it’s theft!”
“You can’t manage those shares. If you want to reclaim back your shares, you’ll be the highest shares holder and what will you do with those shares? What do you know about management?”
“I never said I’ll strlp dad off his position,”
“But that’s what filling a lawsuit means!”
“Oh… then seem like I’ll have to do that then,”
“Go to New York, go study business. Go there for a year and learn business, then you can return to claim your shares,”
“Is that your second card?”
“Meaning?”
“If you can’t make me return home, then convince me to leave the city. Is that all you got? Even if your idea is perfect, I won’t take it. I won’t listen to you, never. We both know that,”
“Why do you loathe me so much?”
“Because you’re a legal shlt who dropped your father’s name to bear mine. I’ll always remind you of your position in this family, Dylan. You’re nothing but a freeloader in this house who only has the law to make a name,”
“What’s so wrong with that?”
“Everything is wrong with it! Everything was originally mine and I don’t want to share it with anyone,”
“You can’t fight us alone Charles,”
“And who said I was alone?”
“Mr. Feng, your lawyer, or the girl you’re fǔcking? Do you think a lousy group like that is enough to go against the boards in haven group? If you want to fight, Charles. Fight to win. Go and learn how to run the company, and come back to fight when you are ready. Otherwise, return home, dad is waiting,” having said that, Dylan patted his shoulder and left.
Violet came out after she confirmed that Dylan is gone and looked at Charles who looks defeated.
“Are you ok?”
“I didn’t intend to do it. I didn’t intend to strlp dad off his position, I don’t want to turn against dad either. I just wanted to take back what’s mine, I just wanted to do what I know my mother wanted when she transferred all those shares to my name,”
“And you will do it. I’ll help you. Me, Mr. Marson, and Mr. Feng,”
“That’s a lousy group,”
“But lousy groups can be dangerous at times most especially when we have nothing to lose,” she said, and he smiled
“You’re right, I have nothing to lose because everything was originally mine,”
“You should tell Mr. Marson about this,”
“Yes, I should,”

Ella met up with Mr. Josh in a discreet place, and he gave her a confused look, wondering what she wanted to discuss with him.
She head straight to the point, telling him about Carolyn’s threats, Ivy awareness, and the threat from the anonymous sender.
“This is bad,” Mr. Josh said.
“Yes, it is. It was just the three of us. Me, you, and Maxwell. Only the three of us knew the truth behind all these, but now Ivy knows it too, even though she can do nothing, she already knows the truth. Who could be the anonymous person? It could only be the strange girl. And how did she know? One of us must’ve made a mistake. Could it be me? No. I can’t make sure mistake and threaten myself. Could it be Maxwell? No. He is trembling in fear as it is. So who could it be? That thoughts baffles me a lot,”
“Are you accusing me now?”
“Mr. Josh. Can you trust yourself?”
“Miss Blake—…”
“You were loyal to the Holts family for years, but you betrayed them. You recently joined Maxwell and I, do you expect me to fully trust you?”
“Attacking each other will be the end of us,”
“I know. I don’t want to attack you either that’s why I want us to work together. Find out the person behind that message, and most of all, find her,” she said, and dropped a picture on the table.
“Who is this?” he asked.
“The girl who threatened Maxwell, the strange girl,”
“You want me to find her, and if I do, what should I do with her?”
“I don’t know. I wish you luck finding her. Martinis’ enterprise just started thriving, we don’t want any problems from strange girls or anonymous source. Do have a nice day,” with that, she left.

Violet/ Carolyn freshen up later and started preparing to leave the house
“Where are you going?” Charles asked.
“To Ivy. I haven’t seen her in a while, I wonder how she is doing,”
“In that body?”
“There is nothing I can do. I have to live somehow and I’m worried about Ivy too. Even more worried now,”
“Don’t forget that you can’t make a mistake. That body also attends that school you’re going,”
“That makes it perfect. I can stay by Ivy’s side and protect her,”
“That lady also has a life of her own, so be careful out there,”
“You call what she is living a life? I can’t cal it that,”
“Just be careful,”
“Are you worried about me?”
“You wish. I’m also heading out, I haven’t seen my friends in a while now. I’ll give you a ride,”
“Cool,”
“Like you have a choice,” he rolled his eyes, and she threw a fist at his retreating back, cussing him quietly.

He pulled over at the school, and he held her back when she was about to alight from the car.
“Do you even know your way around?”
“Yes. I have followed Ivy for quite awhile,”
“Ok. Remember that you can’t teleport anymore, call me when you’re in danger,”
“I will,” she muttered, and he nodded.
*
She alighted from the car and looked around, thinking of the best place to start.
She was wandering around when she saw some group of students talking about Ivy.
👤”I heard that her family lost everything, and she was trying to leach off Bryan,”
👤”She is dating Jon now,”
👤”I wished I had a taste of her,”
“And I wish you could focus more on your studies!” Carolyn/Violet snapped, and they all looked at her.
“Who are you?” one of them asked.
“Isn’t she the wltch?” another said.
“The wltch, that’s quite a name. Should I show you my claw?” she lashed, scaring them with her fingers.
“Gosh, what has gotten into her?” they grumbled, before leaving.
“Such big fo0ls. How can men gossip that way?” she thought.
“Where can I find Ivy now? And who is this Jon that she is dating?” she thought, wandering around.
She went do different auditoriums that Ivy always have classes until she got tired and went to the cafeteria to get coffee when she coincidentally saw Ivy there in company of Jon.
“Ivy!” Violet/ Carolyn called out, and Ivy turned to look at her.
“Carolyn?” Ivy called, confused.
“Ivy, I have been looking all over for you,” Carolyn said, with brightened eyes.
“Do yo two have such relationship?” Jon asked, and Ivy shook her head.
“Why were you looking for me…”
“Ermm… I… oh, yeah. I couldn’t thank you properly for the other day. You really saved my life. I owe you my life, Ivy,” she said, and embraced her but Jon forcefully pulled them apart.
“Oh, you must be Jon,”
“Yes. So?”
“I have been wondering who Ivy’s boyfriend was, so it’s you… but why do you look familiar?”
“Pardon?” Jon said.
“Carolyn—“
“Oh, it’s you. The lemon drink,”
“If you will excuse us,” Jon said and held Ivy’s hand.
“Are you here for coffee? I’m here to get one too,” she said, and they both looked at her.
*
The three of them sat together and Jon didn’t stop looking at Carolyn.
“May I ask what you want from us?” Jon asked.
“Errmmm… Ivy…”
“You said you were looking for me, I don’t think we have that kind of relationship,” Ivy said.
“Of course we don’t,I… I was just thankful for the other day,”
“You acted unusual that day, and you’re doing the same now,” Ivy said.
“Oh, I have a class, we should leave,” Jon said.
“Go ahead, I don’t have any class now,” Ivy said.
“But I can’t leave you with her!”
“I’m fine. She can’t harm me,”
“Of course I won’t, why would I harm you?”
“It’s fine. I can just skip the class. It’s mere elective,”
“Don’t worry about me, Jon. I’ll be fine. Whatsoever she could be, she can’t harm me in this open space,”
His phone rang later, and he looked at Ivy before glaring at Carolyn who smiled at him.
“I’ll be fine, go ahead,” Ivy said, and he kissed her before leaving.
“Awww… he is so sweet. He seems to care so much about you,”
“I know. And you? What’s your deal? Why are you suddenly acting like we are close when it never seems like you want to be close to me even when I tried “
“Oh, I was like that…”
“Did something happen to you that night? You acted strangely that night, and even now,”
“I know. You won’t believe me if I said something actually happened to me,”
“What happened to you?”
“Actually, Ivy…”
“Look who made a new friend,” they heard Bryan teased from behind.
“Just ignore them, or let’s just leave,” Ivy said, and carried her bag to leave but Bryan held her back.
“Let go while I’m being nice,” she muttered.
“And while you aren’t being nice?” he teased.
“You heard her, let her go!” Carolyn lashed.
“Oh… your new friend is quiet aggressive, unlike what I heard about her,”
“There is more to what you know about me,” Violet said, and punched his cheek almost sending him to the ground, and everyone gasped.
“How..” he was saying, and she kicked him underneath, making him groan in pain.
“The next time you try to bully Ivy, you will get more than a kick!” she shouted, and knocked his head.
She held Ivy’s hand, and they both left the cafeteria holding hands, leaving everyone in shock.
“I have always longed to teach that man a lesson,” Violet said.
“Carolyn, thank you. Thank you for doing that back there,” Ivy said, and embraced her.
“All the time, cutie,”
“Cutie…”
“Ermm… you’re so cute, you remind me of my younger sister,”
“My sister calls me that at times,”
“Oh. That? Oh… even my neighbor calls her younger ones “cutie,” it’s like a common nickname for cute younger siblings,”
“The other day, at the cafeteria when Jon gave me lemon juice, what made you think I was allergic to it?”
“Idid?” Carolyn asked, batting her lashes, nervously.
“You held it when I was about to drink it. My sister was the only person who thought I was allergic to lemon, so I was just wondering why you think the same,”
“Oh… ok,”
“I demand an answer,”
“Actually, Ivy… I have a class now. Gotta run!” with that, Violet ranoff.
“What’s she exactly?” Ivy thought, staring at her retreating back.
**
Violent managed to breathe properly after she successfully escaped Ivy.
“I’m not good at this, I should leave. I should call Charles, who knows he might be around,” she thought, and dialed Charles number.
The line was still ringing when three boy walked up to her.
“I heard they call you the wltch,” boy 1 said.
“No, I heard they call her freshman-alumni,” boy 2 said.
“But she is nothing but a loser,” boy 3 said
“Who are you?” Violet asked confused.
“We? We have a little something for you from Bryan. Who do you think you are to hit him?!” boy 2 shouted, and wanted to hit her but someone held his hand.
“And who do you think you are?” Charles asked, holding his hand.
“Charles…” Violet called, and she realized that he already picked the call.
“Who are you?” boy 3 asked.
“Me? I’m someone who can’t let you just her. I’m Charles Hewlett. It’s nice meeting you, if you don’t mind, I’ll take her with me,” he said, and went to grab Violet hand, dragging her away.
Ivy who was passing by at the moment froze on her feet looking at them.
“Carolyn,” she called out, and they turned to look at her.
“Oh, no,” Violet grumbled.
“Mr. Charles… why are you two together?” Ivy asked, and Charles bite his lips looking from Ivy to violet who was speechless.

Mr. Mason has been trying to put his thoughts together adding up everything Charles and Carolyn/Violet told him.
He thought about how Violet suddenly requested for a leave, and after thier conversation, there could only be a way to get evidence.
“If violet was attacked at her home, then she must’ve been carried out of that house somehow. The CCTV camera… as expected, they would erase that first. But… the discreet camera…” he thought, remembering the secret CCTV camera that was installed in the house.
Mr. Marson installed the discreet camera at the Holts’ house when they moved in there to tighten the security of the house, but ever since it was installed, there was never a use for it.
“We should find a way to access that camera,” he thought, and took his phone to call Charles.
