It only took a half-day for the 3 families to suffer the retribution from the Hades. The Lenrue Enterprise greatly loss the company in a snap of a finger, Rica and Theo lost their jobs and James…the Su company assets and other riches were frozen. They didn't have the slightest idea why they suffered such disgrace like this to their life.
The 3 families just got an e-mailed message that they made confused….. they never knew who sent it especially the meaning of the message which is written in all caps lock:
"NEVER EVER OFFEND THE HADES BABIES"

City A Mall
Sofia and her friends were shopping for clothes that they will be wearing on the Charity Gala, they also pampered their self for spa and salon; they need it to relieve themselves after the tension that they had just encounter a while ago at Café Elise.
Rita: "Why can't we just purchase the gowns made by the renowned designer Cassie Wu?"
Sofia: "Cassie Wu is Luna's best friend, ever since Luna married Louie they are not in good terms with my husband especially when they found out the=at Louie hurts Luna."
Rita: "What about you Aira? Isn't your mom a model? Maybe she can purchase gowns on behalf of her name."
Aira: "Rita, Cassie Wu made it clear to all boutiques that they owned that no one from the family of Sofia and even Sofia's friends can't purchase a single gown she made"
After the three have chosen their preferred gown they all went to the cashier to pay for their purchase items. Sofia took out her black card to pay for her gown and other stuff when the cashier told her that her card is declined.
Sofia: "What! What do you mean by declined?! Try it again!"
Cashier 1: "Ms. I've already tried it 3 times but still your card is declined. If you have cash with you then you can pay it with cash if not just leave the things here and you can go out from our establishment."
Aira: "Sofia doesn't worry I'll pay for it. Ms. Cashier please proceed to the payment procedure." Just like what happened to Sofia, even her Platinum Bank Card is declined. "How can it be?" she whispered, but she is still composed not like Sofia. Aira asked Rita if she can use her Black card, she wants to confirm something, then just like what happened to her and Sofia; Rita's card is also declined. She was getting nervous… she knew that the incident at the Café Elise has something to do with this. Aira decided just pay it in cash since she always brought some cash in case of emergencies like this.
Rita: 'What happened to our card? Why does it suddenly decline by some establishment?"
Aira: "Guys I think we need to go home. I have this feeling that we are being framed by the people we have just offend a while ago."
Sofia: "Who?! The children? Ms. Audrey Belikov of their other company?!"
Aira: "Yes Sofia! I think that they are up to something that's why this is happening to us. If ever we got any information regarding this situation for our family. I think we have to communicate with each other with family members."
The three friends finally decided to go home and to investigate what is happening to them. They also made a promise to each other that after their investigation, they need to get in touch with each other about their situation.

Xu Residence
Rica Xi bailed out Theo Xu at the police station and went home, they are not talking to each other as they want privacy on solving their problem. As their car entered the gates of their residence, Aira's car follows. Aira can sense that there is something weird about her parents, they all went inside and the couple straightly went to the study room. Aira want to join them but her mother told her that she doesn't need too but Aira explained to her mother about the incident that just happened to her at the mall and she had an idea that someone is framing her.
Rica: "Theo what happened? How come you are at the police station?"
Theo: "I think someone leaked the news about me selling the case of the Sung employees."
Rica: "What! Who leak it? I mean no one else knew about it except me and your daughter and we are not telling anyone about it."
Rica sighed while looking at her husband and daughter who is sitting on the sofa in front of her. "I have no job anymore, I don't know why and how….but the companies that I have signed a contract with started to terminate and they are willing to compensate me with a little amount only; they said that I've offended someone very influential to them."
Aira's face turned pale upon hearing her mother's statement, "After I left the management office someone handed me a note and it says that NEVER EVER OFFEND THE HADES BABIES, I don't even know them; all I know is that Hades is a Greek God of the underworld."
"Mom, Dad, I can't use my platinum card. When I used it moments ago, the cashier said that is was declined; even Sofia and Rita, their cards are also declined" Aira said to her parents. "I think I've offended someone at the Café Elise this morning, I think I've offended the parents and the child of Hades" she added.
Upon hearing her daughters' declaration, Rica gave her daughter a death glare, Theo is just silently listening. "Tell us what happens Aira, so that we can find who they are and ask for forgiveness" Theo who is till calm told his daughter. Aira recalled everything that is happened to them, she even told her parents that someone points a gun to her and gives her a death stare.
Rica: "Theo, call Louie. Ask him if we can visit him today at his office. We need to clarify everything to that Hade's babies that are in the note."
Aira: "Mom, Louie is not working at the office as of the moment, he is working at home, and Sofia is not there also; I think the two is having their divorce process right now."
Rica: "I don't care where he is right now! Just call him and we will be talking to him within the day!"

Lenrue Enterprise
Rita went to the Lenrue Enterprise when she got a message from her father that she needs to sign some doc.u.ments. As she enters the building she saw the pressure on all employees' faces. When she went to her father's office she can hear her father shouting at his secretary which is the first time in her life to witness.
Rita: "Dad what happened? Why are you shouting?"
Andrew: "We're done, Rita… we don't have a company to run anymore. We are not the biggest shareholder in the company.
Rita: "What! How! Why!"
Andrew: "I don't know, just before lunch, our stocks plummet down and it made some shareholders sell their stocks to the company to a certain Viscount. Then I got an emailed message stating that I have offended a certain Hades Babies."
Rita's brows frown upon hearing the word "babies", she is thinking if she also offends someone. "Dad, an hour ago I went shopping, then when I'm paying for the things that I have just purchased my black card was declined. Aira and Sofia's card is declined, then Aira lends us some cash so that we can pay for it and not get humiliated."
Andrew: "What do you mean by declined? How can it be declined?"
Rita: "I don't know dad, but can I see the message sent to you?"
Andrew showed the message NEVER EVER OFFEND THE HADES BABIES to his daughter, Rita's face turned paled and beads of sweats start to form to her forehead. "Dad, I think we offend someone" Rita declared. Then she recalled everything to her father what happened at Café Elise this morning. She didn't leave any slight details about what happened to them.
Andrew: "Try calling Aira, tell her that we will go to their place and talk about this problem. I think we need to see this hades babies that you have offended."
Rita nods her head and made a call to Aira, when her call connects to Aira's mobile phone she informed her about what her Dad just have said; Aira obliged and tell them that they can come right at that moment.

Su Residence
"Mom, How come that my black card was declined?" Sofia asks her mother as soon as she entered their house, Suzy who is making orders to one of the servants was dumbfounded for what she had heard. "What do you mean declined?" she asks back.
Then from Sofia's back, a voice was suddenly heard "It was declined because you have offended a Hades Babies Sofia, and all our stocks and share were freeze, even our bank accounts, and credit cards are also frozen. And our lawyers also said that even their other properties were frozen" James declared unto them.
Sofia: "It can't be Dad!"
James chuckled, "How can you say that? Who did you and your mother offend this time? Sofia I'm tired of all ruckus that you are doing."
Suzy: "Sofia Darling, please tell us who did you offend this time, because I can't remember offending someone."
Sofia remembers what happened at Café Elise, she recalled and told her parents everything, even the way she got so furious upon seeing the boy who looks exactly, Louie.
