"Look at that? The men are too noisy because of Mikael, James, and his uncle Daichi."

  The wives often look in their husband's direction because of the laughter and yelling from the men.

  "Well, there is nothing to be surprised about. These men are rarely to be in one place. Thanks to the Davies Corporation's new CEO, things are possible." Riley chimed in.

  "I agree with sister Riley. Our husbands are busy with their businesses. I'm sure Hailee could relate to it already." Madison added to Riley's statement.

  "Yeah. Since Vincent accepts the position, he has to travel often around Australia, soon all around the world. I was okay at first, thinking that we could work together. However, we did not expect that I would conceive four babies on the first try. Honestly, it made me terrified as I don't know what to do. How I could handle being a full-time mom and full-time working? Aside from Davies Corporation, I have my own companies I manage. My pregnancy really made me always exhausted. Gratefully, mom Hilda was here by my side, and looking out for me."

  "Gosh! I remember those days that Madam Hilda was always furious when gossip came out about Hailee and boss Vincent's affair. Madam Hilda has always been infuriated because people never stop questioning the boss' sexual orientation. Well, we never saw him dating or having a girlfriend but hanging out only with men. So, when people learn that boss Vincent dating a foreign woman two years after his marriage to Eva. The media has become crazy to release an article every single day." Hazel recounted.

  "When I read the article involving Vincent being married and his mistress is Hailee. We are too shocked to believe it. But when we learned who his nominal wife was, I laughed out of my ass, rolling on the floor." said Daisy. She and Hailee were classmates from elementary until Senior High School and so, she knew Hailee would never bring herself into a lowly person such as mistress.

  Crystal seconded, "I did the same! I was like, oh my gosh! Bravo, Hailee! I can't believe she got that far to get her revenge!"

  "No. I never thought of revenge or something after Eva broke mine and Bryan's engagement." Hailee intercepts Crystal. She explains her side, that it was just all pure luck when she crossed paths with Eva in Greece and she overheard her. She then learned the truth that Eva has a big secret she hides from Bryan all these years.

  "Whatever, Hail. It blew our minds! People should know that Hailee Davies must never test her patience nor hit her bottom line! She had all the power to make your life miserable! I was laughing when Eva was arrested and beat up inside the prison," Julie echoed.

  Hailee shook her head, looking at her friends back and forth. She could not blame them for thinking like that, as she never acted arrogantly or showed off her wealth and stepped on anyone to let them know they were inferior to her.

  "I never wished for Eva to have such a terrible death. All I desired was for Bryan and Vincent to get free from her lies. I never thought Liam was involved. That is why our lives become tangled. Moreover, it was never in my plan to fall in love with Vincent. However, I was wrong."

  "In the end, you feel in love with."

  Hailee nodded and smile sweetly.

  "Jeez! Stop feeling bad about it, Hail. Like what you've said, how Eva falls into a terrible fate. But she is a pure gold digger and socialite. She doesn't care about anyone, even her family. So it must be her retribution to be murdered. I believe she does all that, not because Liam Huo ordered her to separate you and your ex-fiance. Eva is a social climber. She only wants to milk money from the boss the reason she could not divorce him when she is in love with someone else. Then, why would she stay in a marriage with the person she doesn't love in the first place?" Hazel's opinion was concurred by the girls.

  "She wants the privilege the boss could offer her."

  "Hazel is right, Hail. You need not feel guilty about Eva. She is the one who did wrong toward you." Gigi concurred and supported Hazel's statement, so comfort Hailee.

  "Thank you, girls. I am really blessed to have you all in my life. I don't have any siblings, but I don't feel sad because I have you as my sisters."

  "Hail, we are actually the blessed one here! We are just random teenagers in a university, but you befriended us, and until now, you didn't forget about us!" Full of emotion when Nadia says this that was concurred by Liza.

  "Actually, I was the fortunate one, and I met you girls. You didn't know me, but you choose to believe and trust me even after I become a mistress, though it's fake. But it's rare to find genuine friends in a foreign land that you can trust so much."

  The girls had a group hug, and these were taken by Sheena. With Hailee's permission, Sheena posted several photos on her Instagram and tagged everyone.

  The world feasted on the photos as netizens recognized the famous tycoons.

  In the middle of a merry conversation, the adults were disturbed when a child cried. The fathers suddenly rose from their chairs and ran toward the kids playing near the pool.

  "Violet?" Theo rushed to her daughter and kneeled on the ground. He asked in a sweet tone, "What happened, sweetheart?"

  However, the little girl continued crying. Instead of replying, Violet walked toward Allen and punched him.

  The fathers that gathered around were dumbfounded at what happened. Instantly, they have an idea Allen did something and made Violet cry.

  "I did nothing. Why did you hit me?" Allen frowned after he recovered from the shock. Even him, he didn't expect that Violet would punch him. Although there is not much force; however, he was embarrassed as the adults saw this.

  "Allen, what is going on here?" Shun asked his eldest son.

  "Papa, I did nothing. I'm just reading here."

  "Allen?" Shun was calm, but his voice was full of authority.

  "I swear, Papa. I just wanted to help her, but then she started crying." Allen had difficulty explaining his side.

  Shun believes that his son would not lie. However, he wants Allen to understand something. Shun glanced at Theo and looked apologetically at Violet.

  "Sweetheart, could you tell Uncle Shun what happened?" Shun calmly asked the little girl.

  Violet is only three years old, but he witnessed that Theo's children are brilliant. Violet is the top one in her class, whereas Carlisle Hendrik is her classmate.

  And speaking of his other son, Shun looks around to search for Carlisle, but that guy has nowhere to be found.

  "Violet, can you tell us what happened?" Coaxing his daughter, Theo repeated Shun's question earlier.

  Violet wipes the tears in her eyes. She looked at Allen and said, "He put a worm in my cake."

  Everyone who listened was astounded by Violet's explanation. It may be a prank by a child, but they wonder who did that to Violet. They look at Allen with conflicted emotion in their eyes.

  Allen, at eight years old, understood the adults, giving him a questioning stare.

  'What a brat!' Allen rolled his eyes and then scowled at Violet. He hated that Violet was accusing him just because he sat near her.

  Shun heaves a deep sigh and apologizes to Theo. "I'm sorry, Theo. I will investigate further who tries to scare Violet. It may be a childish play, but I won't tolerate it."

  "It's okay, Shun. Violet is just scared of worms. That's only my concern; she might develop a phobia."

  "I apologize again."

  Theo nodded at Shun, then walked toward the other side of the pool where the girls were lounging. He brought his daughter to her mama and explained what had happened.

  After the father and daughter leave, Shun returns his attention to his son. He lifted his arm and messed up Allen's hair.

  "Listen to me, son. Don't think that I accused you or doubted you. I want you to understand that I will normally question you first because you are the eldest. Look, son. Everyone here is your brothers and sisters. It was your responsibility to watch over them. When you are old enough. I will tell you everything you need to know for you to understand what I am saying."

  Shun wanted to explain to Allen that he was the first candidate to replace him in the seat, being the head of both the Mafia Association and the High Royal Society.

  "Allen, as my firstborn son in this lifetime, I want you to look after our family and friends. As you see around, when we all pass, the responsibility to maintain our good relationship with everyone will be yours. That includes watching over Violet and your Aunt Hailee's children and more cousins of yours in the future."

  Allen understands what his father is telling him, but he chooses not to speak up because even if he would decline, as the oldest, he had to take responsibility.

  "Okay, Papa. I will pay attention from now on."

  "I know you would be." Shun patted Allen on the shoulder.?"Alright. I need to look for your little brother. He and Violet are classmates, so I've guessed right away that it was him who scares Violet. He must learn at school what would frighten her."

  This time, Allen smiled and felt relieved that his father was not angry at him. Allen actually adored his father. He looked up at him and thought he was his hero.

  "Papa, allow me to search for Hendrik. He must play with Seth."

  Since Violet and Seth were Hendrik's classmates, Allen had guessed that they were who scared Violet.

  "Okay. Go ahead, son."

  "Everything is alright?" asked Vincent.

  "Yes. We finally found the culprit. It must be my youngest son, Hendrik, and Violet's twin brother Seth."

  "I see. Kids sure a handful."

  "Haha! You will experience the crazy journey soon, Vincent." Teased Shun.

  Vincent chuckled and concurred. "I have two sons and two daughters. I hope the boys will watch for their sisters and not pull a prank on them."

  "Well yeah. Although, it's normal for the kids to be mischievous. We adults should explain to them it is not a good habit to do. Many situations put someone in danger."

  "You are right, Shun. They have to know it was wrong and not nice."

  Next on:

  In the evening, more of Hailee's friends and knights had arrived. However, news came in.

  "Boss, a call from P Country!"

  Vincent looked at Tim, who was in a panic. He asked, "What happened?"

  "Boss, one of our clients complains after his yacht's crashed into someone's yacht!"

  "Why are they calling us instead of the insurance company?"

  "Boss, the owner of the yacht that was crashed by our client is Mr. Gideon Jackson, and…"

  "What is it, Tim?" Vincent suddenly had an awful premonition.

  "Mr. Jackson is…"

  Tim's next words are like a bomb dropped to the ground.
