Rhea was puzzled at the phone call, she picked it up and a familiar voice made her scoff.
'Hello, Isabelle? I have to tell you something important'.
*Huh? He's calling from country M? That's not right*.
'Wow, you finally had the chance to call me huh? Mr Henry'.
'Stop addressing me that way, I am your father Isabelle'.
'Oh Please, spare me the lecture, what do you want from me? I bet your wife and daughter don't know that you're talking to me right now'.
'No, they don't Isabelle but trust me, there's a lot of thing they don't know including you'. Henry's voice trailed off.
'What are you saying? Can you speak louder or should I hang up'.
'No, no, no Isabelle, don't hang up. I want to discuss something with you. News about what happened at the mall the other day reached the company and the shareholders were angry at me because as the legitimate daughter of Henry Morgan, you are the one to cause trouble to the company'.
'So? What do you want exactly? Get to the point please'.
'I am going to hold a banquet and you have to be there, I am going to give you ten percent of the shares, that way, you will be more responsible when it comes to the affairs of the company'.
'Hahaha! You are really funny, Mr Henry, so let me get this straight. The only reason you're giving me this share is because you don't want me to cause trouble to the company in the future, am I right?'.
'Listen Isabelle, I don't want you to see it that way, just take it as a right'.
'A right? If I wanted, I could take the entire company and throw you out'.
'Isabelle!, don't be too ambitious!'.
'Ambitious?! That company was the hard work of my mother that you took from her! Don't act all high and mighty just because you've taken over!'. Rhea was getting agitated but then she felt a hand on her shoulder, it was Aaron and he was back from work. He slowly patted Rhea to comfort her and she calmed a bit.
'Isabelle, that is not what happened at all. Tell me, what else do you want?'.
'Since you're going to transfer some shares to me, your darling daughter must have gotten as well'.
'Well...Anna is still my daughter so, yes I am going to give her as well'.
'Really? Let me guess, you must have plan on giving her more than you're giving me. Am I right?'.
'Well.....'.
'So, I'm right. If that's the case then forget about the banquet, I am not coming, I'm hanging up. Bye'.
'Wait! I can give you more than Anna's if that's what you want'.
'Now, you're talking'.
Rhea and Aaron didn't realize that they were being watched. Ivy slowly went back to her room with tears in her eyes, it was all true. The boss has gotten married after all.
'Ivy, don't cry. We all know that the boss didn't marry the madam because he loved her. He married her out of compulsion, his grandfather forced him to. Greta and Marco comforted Ivy.
'I can't believe the boss got married just like that. I don't agree to this marriage at all, If I can't have the boss then I can't let someone else have him. I'm going to make her life a living hell. The boss will have to divorce her or else...
'Or else what?'. Mirabel entered.
'What are you going to do if the boss doesn't divorce her? You will do nothing. I can't believe you're thinking like this Ivy. You better watch yourself Ivy and try to stay in the boss's good graces instead of trying to get on his bad side'. Saying this, Mirabel walked away while Ivy continued crying.
Rhea was finally done with her phone call, she sighed wearily.
*I have a feeling that this is going to put me in big trouble*
'What are you thinking of Isabelle? Your husband is back from work and here you are thinking of something else'.
Rhea smiled, she knew he was just trying to cheer her up'.
'Thank you Aaron'.
'Huh? For what?'.
'I don't know, for everything'.
'I...I'll go to my room now'. Aaron ran as fast as he could.
* I could've sworn I saw him blush just now* Rhea went back to meet Valet who had been waiting for her.
'So Valet, where did we stop?'.
***THE ANCESTRAL MANSION
MARGARET AND HER CHILDREN
'Did you see that mom? How aunty jane interfered and did you see the boldness of that girl?!'.
'Yes sister Zoe, you're right. She just came today and she's already acting so arrogant'.
'Calm down girls, we'll deal with her very soon but for now just let her be. I'll talk to Jane first'.
***
Jane was done with the tour so she asked Isabelle to go and rest. Isabelle and Olivia thanked her and went to their perspective rooms to rest.
The old man has instructed for only one room to be arranged so Isabelle had to share the room with Alex. She went inside and found Alex working on his laptop.
'How was the tour?'
'Horrible'. Alex turned to look at her in confusion.
'Why was it horrible?'.
'Alex, I can't guarantee that I won't break your family rules. They're being so petty and do you know what they were saying, they were saying that I made you fire some Emily so that I can take over the position of secretary'.
'What?'.
'Yes Alex, why would they think of me that way, it's so unfair. Even though I am married to you legally, they would rather prefer some Emily over me'.
'Huh? We're not exactly wedded legally you know? It's all a contract after all'.
Isabelle was pissed off, he really doesn't know what to say and when to say it.
'Are you doing this on purpose?'
'Doing what?'
'Ugh! Forget it. Why don't you just go and marry your Emily'. Saying this, Isabelle stomped off.
*Why is she angry? I better call Levi to ask*
Isabelle was walking in the hallways while sipping the coffee Olivia had made for her. She heard some whispering in the quiet hallways and realized it was coming from Margaret's room. Isabelle tiptoed to listen to what they were saying.
'Don't worry mom, we'll make her life a living nightmare'.
'I have a plan mom, I've talked to Emily and I told her everything. She'll be coming to our house soon. Wait till Emily come back, then we'll kick that Rhea out of our house'.
'But how do we do that Nora?'.
'Here's the plan mom.....'.
Isabelle slowly smirked as she listened to what they said. *So this is what they plan on doing, no problem*
Isabelle tiptoed back to the room, Alex was in the shower so she picked up her phone and called someone.
'Hello? Mother In-law?'.
***COUNTRY M
DOCTOR D'S HOSPITAL
The man who had made the call the other day was pacing anxiously at the hospital's entrance. The mysterious man he had been talking to all these years was finally coming. Soon, a car drove inside the hospital and a middle aged man came out along with his bodyguards. The man, Doctor David ran to meet the mystery man.
'Sir, are you?.....
'Yes, it's me. My name is Henry, Henry Morgan'.
'What?'. Doctor David's eyes flew open.
