Violet directed Charles to Mr. Marson’s office, and Mr. Marson looked through the proposal.
“Why would you trust me with this? This is a new law firm,” Mr. Marson said.
“I’m not trusting the law firm but you, the lawyer,” he said, and Mr. Marson chuckled.
“And why would you trust me?”
“Because someone reliable recommended you,”
“May I ask you who that is?”
“Violet Holt,” Charles said, and they all looked at him in shock. (Violet, Mr. Feng, and Mr. Marson)
“What are you saying, Charles?” Violet cautioned.
“What are you insinuating?”
“I know Violet Holt, but you know her better. You have been the legal team head for Holts’ enterprise for many years,”
“Violet Holt is d£ad, and the company’s name changed, so I don’t know why you’re bringing this up,”
“And you? You resigned because you felt wronged,”
“Who are you?”
“Someone who can see Violet Holt right after she dled,” he said, and they all looked at him in shock.
“What? What are you doing?” Violet said.
“What?” Mr. Marson said.
“I know you won’t believe me, but I tend to be very honest with my respond. Just like you, I also don’t believe what I’m saying now, but it’s the truth,”
“You must’ve lost your mind,”
“She is right here with us,” Charles said, and Mr. Marson started looking around.
“Sir…” Mr. Feng cautioned.
“Charles, you can’t do this,” Violet said.
“We can’t fight alone, Vee. We need him to be at our side if we want to win this fight, and help you get back what they stole from you,”
“What are you saying?” Mr. Marson snapped, and Mr. Feng shook his head trying to caution Charles.
“Tell me something that can prove it to him,” Charles said, looking at Violet.
“Come on, we don’t have all day. We have to act fast before he show us out,”
“Charles, are you sure about this?” Violet asked, and he smiled.
“I have never been more sure,”
“Please, show yourself out or I call the police,” Mr. Marson said.
“Twenty years ago after your failed blind date, you wanted to resign from work but Violet stopped you, she saw the resignation letter before you could submit it and she tore it at that spot, and since then, you vowed to stay devoted to the Holt’s family,”
“How—how did you know about that? Ms. Holt promised not to tell anyone,”
“She kept her promise, but she was lifted from that after she dled. She just told me. It’s not a huge thing to bring a fuss over,”
“Who are you?!”
“I introduced myself earlier, I’m someone who can see Violet Holt. You made a new pen for her after she lost the one her father personally crafted. You two have quiet the relationship, for a legal team head, I give you that,”
“Get out!”
“Violet is here!” Charles shouted, and picked up a file from his desk.
“You’re a lawyer, so I expect you to only believe what you can see, but that makes you oblivious to the many things you can’t!” he shouted, and handed the file over to Violet.
“The file… it’s floating, it’s floating in the air…” Mr. Marson shuddered in fear.
“That’s Violet holding it,” Charles said, smirking at Mr. Marson.
“Can… can you really see Ms. Holt?”
“Your question changed, so I can tell that we are both agreeing on something,”
“What are you?”
“That changed too, but my answer remains the same,”
“What do you want from me?”
“Violet never signed her asset to that man, but as expected, you’re a lawyer, there is nothing you can do when there is evidence. But I promised to get it back for her,”
“What do you really want from me?”
“I want you to accept my proposal, once I get back what’s mine, I’ll be able to help her with her fight. So all these confession is meant for you to accept my proposal, I’ll pay you well,” he said, and they all looked at him, speechlessly.
“And there is one more thing, he klled her, Violet d£ath wasn’t an accident, it was murder,” he said, and Mr. Morgan’s eyes widened in shock.

Ivy couldn’t sleep well all night, she has been thinking about Maxwell’s offer, until day breaks, contemplating if it’s right to accept it.
While everyone around her was older and busy with work, she would always sneak into her father’s study whenever he wasn’t around to play the piano. She joined a piano class when she was in kindergarten, but her parents weren’t that interested in her.
Her father has a big piano in his office, playing it was his hubby, and when he caught her, she told him about her piano class at school, and he bought her a piano immediately, and also designed a studio for her in the basement so she could play as she pleases without disturbing anyone.
The basement became the cage she find pleasure at home, and her father hired a piano tutor to accompany her and train her
Her father did all that from pure affection, but it divided her from the family, she spent most of her life in the basement with the piano as her only friend while she yearn for thier attention.
She left her bed later, and went to the basement to meet everything the way she left it.
She went to the piano that looks like it missed her, and tried to play something but nothing came to her mind. Thinking of everything that had happened so far, and how she developed interest in piano made her breakdown in tears and she instantly realized that what she loved wasn’t the piano, but she grow fond of it while yearning for her family’s attention.
“I can’t play again, I can’t play the piano again,” she cried.

Charles returned home later, and Violet didn’t stop nagging him.
“I have heard, I have heard. But thanks to what I did, he might end up helping us,” Charles snapped.
“But you shouldn’t have done all that without informing me!”
“I know. But I don’t regret it because I know that you would disagree!”
“But telling him wasn’t right to begin with,”
“He wouldn’t have help if I didn’t tell him. I need him, so as you, we both need him. But we can say you need him more because I can always get another legal counsel,”
“Mr. Marson can’t help me,”
“I’ll be the judge of that. If you really didn’t dle on his birthday, that means there is more to everything. Using a help isn’t bad. I have Mr. Feng by my side, but the more the merrier,”
“I can never beat you in an argument,”
“I’m glad that you accept that,”
“But never act rashly again without my consent,”
“Yes, mistress!” he salute, and she chuckled.
“I wonder how Mr. Marson is going to take this. Can he share this with his wife?”
“Is he married?”
“Why wouldn’t he be married?”
“I thought you said he vowed himself to your family?”
“That doesn’t stop him from having his own family ,”
“How did the whole story go about, I mean… being that close to a legal team head, gosh, there is quiet a distant,”
“He was my father’s friend,“
“You don’t mean it,”
“He was my father’s friend, or my mother’s friend to be precise. He quit his job at a law firm to join my father’s company even when we were newly established. He supported my family, both he, and Mr. Josh,”
“The secretary who joined the opposite side?”
“Yes,”
“Wow,”
“They visit a lot, and I was quiet fond of the both of them,”
“But he tends to address you more formally,”
“That’s his way of showing formality, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t close,”
“But he would have quit if you didn’t stop him,”
“He loved my mother,”
“What?”
“Even though he never said it, it was obvious judging from the way he looked at her. When the company began to grow, he tried to start a life of his own, going on many blind dates but the tons of work he has to do caused him several short coming, so he wanted to quit, but I suddenly approached him with a question, and saw the resignation letter that he tried to hide,”
“Oh… there is a lot of drama in that Holts’ enterprise,”
“You could say that,”
“We will bring it back, we aren’t alone anymore,” he assured, and she nodded all smiles.
“Thank you,”
“If you’re thankful, then give me a kiss,” he said, and she knocked his head.
“Gotta check on Ivy,” with that, she left.
“She is always using her sister as an excuse to leave,” he scoffed, and rolled his eyes.

Ivy rounded up with her classes, and saw Jon in company of few of his friends at the school garden.
She remembered what happened between them and looked away, doubting if it’s right to wave at him.
Thinking it through, he doesn’t seem like someone that could be close with Bryan, because if he was, there is no way he could find interest in her.
“I guess I really overreacted,” she thought, and left.
She left school later and decide to take a stroll around when she instantly remembered Charles.
“Seems like he hasn’t been dreaming about me later,” she thought.
“Ella and Maxwell are both worked up, thinking I’m in a relationship with him,” she chuckled and stopped in a nearby joint to get barbecue.
She took her time around before intending to go home when she saw Carolyn walking into the main road without caution, she almost jumped into the a vehicle, and Ivy’s eyes widened in shock.
“Nooooooo…” she screamed, and ran to drag her from the road.
“Let go of me!” Carolyn yelled, pushing her away.
“I just saved you from an accident,”
“Who cares?! That was my chance, that was my chance to end it all. But you messed it all up,” she cried.
“What? You wanted to commit suicide, but why?”
“Why do you care? Mind your own business,”
“I don’t know what you are going through, but trust me you don’t want to end your life. I’m going through a tough time myself, but when I tried to end it, I was saved and I never gave that a thought again,”
“You don’t know me, Ivy,”
“And that’s why I’m curious about you,”
“Stay away from me! My life is miserable because of the likes of you. Everyone at school is avoiding me, why won’t you stay away as well?”
“Because I don’t believe what they say about you,”
“You better start believing it now, because they are all true. Everything they say about me is true, I’m a witch, so be wary of me,” she said, and Ivy shook her head.
“I don’t believe you,”
“You don’t believe me?”
“I don’t believe you because I don’t believe in witches,”
“You don’t believe that witches exist?”
“I know that they exist, but to me, witches are people are evil people, I live with one, and a wizard too. But you aren’t like them, you aren’t a bad person,”
“But you don’t even know me,”
“But I know that you aren’t a bad person. So never try to end your life. Even if they all call you a witch, as long as you aren’t doing bad things, you shouldn’t allow that get to you,”
She stared at Ivy speechlessly, and divert her gaze, staring into space next to Ivy.
“You can see me?” Violet who was standing next to Ivy said, and went to touch her.
“Oh, you can really see me. Are you truly a witch?” Violet gasped.
“This is why I wanted to end it,” Carolyn muttered, and wanted to jump in front of the moving car.
“Noooo…” Violet and Ivy shouted, and ran after her.
They both held her at a time and they fell to the other side of the road.
Violet fell on her, and she was able to possess her body.
“What? What’s going on?” Carolyn said, and stood up.
“Carolyn, are you ok?” Ivy Ames.
“Ivy, you can see me, Ivy!” Carolyn shouted, and embraced Ivy.

The chairman was rounding up from work when Dylan report back everything he found on Ivy to him.
“There is nothing special about her,” the chairman grumbled.
“But she is the one motivating Charles,”
“Are you sure?”
“Should I find out?”
“I guess you need to pay her a visit,” the chairman said, ticking his fingers, and Dylan nodded.
