While the Robertsons and the Colemans are having their wonderful dinner together, one family and an extra one are having the worst night of their lives."I will make her pay for this! How dare she do this to me!" It was Rebecca, and in the state that she is in, she does not look good. Even Juan can"t tolerate looking at her. He even has this urge to leave Rebecca and never shows up to her ever again.
"I told you before not make any move on her, and you didn"t listen! Look at what it got you!" Rebecca"s father shouted in anger.
As a result of what his useless daughter has done, it is clear as water that Mary will be suspicious of him from now on. With that, he can"t even guarantee that he can stay working inside the Colemans now.
If he gets fired by tomorrow, he would not know where should he get his money now. The man who supported him back then, Rolfe, has gone missing. He could turn and ask James Coleman to help him secure his job, but the chances of James agreeing to help him is a blur.
James Coleman never saw him as someone very valuable. In James" eyes, he is just no one who is useless to use.
He could also threaten James for plotting against Mary, but that tactic will never work because James knows how to work his way out of danger.
Frustrated that he can"t think of something to help him escape the danger, Kael slapped Rebecca with full force.
"Y-you, you slapped me?!" Rebecca asked. Clearly, she is furious about what her good-for-nothing father has done to her.
"You deserve that slap! If you weren"t so stupid, none of these would have happened to you and me!"
"Me being stupid? I was not being stupid! I just did what I have to do to get rid of that one person who"s trying to take everything away from me!" Rebecca is furious that once again, she is receiving a huge slap in the face because of Anna. The humiliation and the downfall of her career is the biggest and painful slap she has ever experience.
The only thing that Anna didn"t succeed in getting is taking Juan away from her. That"s the only victory that Rebecca has faced against Anna. But for some reason, it does not feel like a win at all. Ever since the engagement between Anna and Juan has been broken off, Juan is so distant from her.
Juan is not looking at her direction anymore which is really making her nervous.
"I have him, and yet, I don"t feel like I won at all." Rebecca inwardly said to herself.
"Even Juan knows that what you did the most stupid thing you have ever done!" Juan almost scoffed out loud when Kael mentioned his name. He was only sitting on a chair watching the father and daughter bicker at each other.
He was so relaxed and all, but when his name was mentioned, his mood changed drastically. He truly regrets sticking close to Rebecca. He thought that Rebecca could help him get what he wants, but it"s not the case at all.
"I just wasted my precious time with her."
Before Rebecca could even say a word, a group of men barges inside the house aggressively. All these men wore all black from top to bottom. It startled the three of them. By instinct, Juan stepped back, away from these men as much as possible.
"W-what are you guys doing at my house?! How dare you barge in like that!" Although he is afraid of what is happening right now, Kael still manages to ask them angrily. His day has not been good since the scandal of his daughter, and now these men are barging in his property.
"How dare we?" One of the men spoke. "How dare your daughter ruin my boss" reputation. It"s only right for us to be here and take your daughter away." Not saying anything further, all the men took out their gun as a threat sign for the three of them.
It"s like saying that if they don"t hand over Rebecca to them, blood will gush out of their flesh.
Not having any second thoughts, Kael pushed his daughter towards the intruders. The first word that came into his mind is to survive. And in order to do that, he has to give them what they want.
Angry at what her father did, Rebecca screamed. "You disgusting father of mine! You actually dare to sacrifice your own daughter?!" Truthfully, Rebecca is deeply scarred by what Kael just did.
Deep inside, she knows that her father doesn"t really love her and only using her for his gain. But she does still hope that her father will still love her someday. Unfortunately, with what just Kael did, it seems that it will never happen.
Rebecca took a glance at Juan, hoping that he will save her from these men. However, Juan only looked away, saying that he no intention of getting involved. Rebecca turned pale when her last hope is not going to help her.
Tears were falling to her cheeks. She is having a hard time accepting all these miserable moments of her life. And the only person she can blame for all this is Anna.

"It was a very nice experience having that dinner with all of you," Layla said with a heart-warming smile on her face. She is looking directly at Anna. Every time she looks at her, it reminds her that soon, Anna will be part of the Robertson family. And she can"t wait for that to happen.
"It is a nice experience that I"m hoping that it won"t happen again too soon," Arion said as he blocks the direction Layla is staring at. He knew right away what is running inside Layla"s mind, and he does not want Layla to get ahead of herself.
"Oh, please. If I want to have dinner with the Colemans, I think I would like it if you are not a part of it." Layla is planning to invite the Colemans for dinner next time, and that next time, there will be no Arion present.
She does not want Arion"s negative aura floating around the air while her son and Anna are spending time together.
Arion wanted to say something back, but his wife cut him off. "Layla, I sure do hope that will come soon. I can"t wait for our family to get closer than ever."
Whether Arion likes it or not, Mary will support Kyle, and also, as long as Kyle doesn"t break her daughter"s heart, that support will never break.
