Chapter 367 - 368 Beyond the reasonable doubt

"It is difficult to live in and enjoy the moment when you are thinking about the past or worrying about the future. You cannot change your past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about your future. Learn from the past, plan for the future. The more you live in and enjoy the present moment, the happier you will be." ---- Roy T. Bennett

Everyone inside the conference room went into complete silence that even the crook can easily define. "I am going back to City A, and I wish and want to request that my wife, Isabele will stay here for her safety" Yuan breaks the silence as he speaks. Isabele wants to argue, but Yuan squeezes her hand very gently. "Don't worry my wife, I will come back to you and to our baby. I will just settle some things there and I also want to protect Luna. Yes, Francois, and the other Knights, and even her brothers will be there, but they don't know what kind of witch Sofia could be. Even Louie turned a blind eye to her, Ethan and Kim are quite afraid of Sofia because they are afraid of offending Louie before, but I am different" Yuan explained to Isabele.  ​​

"It's completely valid for us to feel overwhelmed, to feel like everything sucks, and to feel sad just because we never got what we want and expected to be in our hands. Life nowadays changes instantly compared to what we're used to having, no one is prepared for what will be served to anyone, and as cliche, as it may sound still, but changes are inevitable, and I think life is meant to be that way, to be a full cycle of learning how to cope up with unexpected things. So Louie Chen is you ready to sacrifice yourself for our Moon and the twins? Are you ready to offend your ex-wife Sofia just to protect Luna and the twins at all cause?" Countess Helen Rose Voronov asks Louie in a very cold tone of voice.

"We will give you a chance, in this case, Louie Chen since your father is my Lily's best friend and you are still my grandchildren's biological father. The HADES will give you reasonable doubts as to your right until you have proven your innocence. It may be hard to earn our trust and for you to prove to us your sincerity because the one who is involved here is the woman you have fought for to your Elders and to Luna" says Duke Lawrence in a calm manner but chilly to the skin. 

"But if we are in City A, we request for you to give Luna her space, the space between personal and work. Don't pester her with the 'what' and 'why' questions that you had in mind and even the buts and if questions she will answer you when she is ready. You have to understand that no means no. Don't force her into doing anything and accepting your request, especially the personal matters that she is not comfortable with, no matter how little or big that might be. Let it pass. It's okay if she doesn't want to go to some meetings, conferences and even parties that will involve just the two of you" Ryder speaks again and his words are demanding and not a request. 

Louie's intuitions screamed as he can't accept the demands of Ryder but he needs to comply. He knew that Ryder was right. He couldn't just be with Luna at any meetings, conferences and even parties that will involve just the two of them or at any moments that he likes. And at the same time, he couldn't afford to tell, suggest, or even request just to have perfected to mask all of his lies just to have a moment alone with Luna. 

"So, what will be our plans against Sofia and her mother?" Scarlet asks everyone as she gestured Dimitri and Francois to let go of their hands that cover the ears of the twins.

"FINALLY!!!" the twins shriek as the two important men in their lives let go of their ears. 

Dimitri and Francois: "Sorry"

The twins smiled and gave a thumbs up to both Dimitri and Francois. "Can we speak on our behalf?" Dawn's voice was heard by all grown-up. 

"Sure Sweetheart. You and your twin brother's opinion is very important to us. Whatever it is, we will listen and we will see if we can compromise on it" Alexei replied. 

"We can do it simultaneously, meaning our father, Francois Vendari and the rest of the Knights, together with the Ladies of the Court, Uncle Peaches, Uncle Harry, and the rest of the Phantoms is solving the problem at City A. We will solve the problem regarding the issue of the Elder Chens here with Great Grandpapa and Great Grandmama here with the protection of the Great bosses. It will be also a reunion between Grand Mama Lily, Grandpapa Edward, and Grandpapa Allen" Dawn interjected as she gave her puppy eyes to everyone. 

"Louie, your children are definitely geniuses. Thank God they got the genes from Luna rather than to you" Ethan whispered to Louie as he teases his friend. Although Louie was quite pissed at Ethan's words, he knew in his heart that his friend is teasing him, but he was very proud of his kids on how they formulate some solutions regarding the problem with his grandparents. 

The Great Bosses look at each other, while Lily looks at Edward. Lucas Cheung laughs and Eva Cheung smiled, "My little buns, your ideas are very good. In my opinion, the issue about the parents of Edward must be solved separately. Luna and her husband Francois must not do anything about it, and even Louie, only me and my wife Eva must face them and we have to give them scolding on this matter" Lucas Cheung remarks. 

"That's quite a solution little buns, we will do it. Louie Chen, we will do some quite disturbing acts on your grandparents. We will force them to come here, actually, we will ask some of our people to give them tranquilizers and kidnap them so that we can board them to our plane and come here. We are now informing you so that you will not be surprised or shocked if their assistant or lawyer will find you and reports to you that they are kidnaped by us. Don't worry, you will know that it is us by the insignia that our people will be left behind after the abduction" Duchess Anastasia Vendari told everyone. 

Louie nods his head, "I will call my lawyer and brief here regarding the plans that we had for my grandparents. Don't worry, I trust Atty. Rebecca Alberts on this, and Samantha can testify that Atty, Alberts will not say anything to my grandparents and even to my mother nor to Sofia. Atty. Alberts is also Luna's friend when we are still married" Louie informed them. 

"So what about our plans for the two evil witches?" Isabele asks them. "I had a plan for that, but I hope Louie will be good in acting," Cassie uttered. 

Louie: "What do you mean good in acting?"

Cassie: "You will court Sofia again, get her trust. She is obsessed with you Louie. She will do anything just to have you. Even if she sells her soul to the demon she will do it. Trust me on this, she will do anything just to keep you under her nose and grasp."

Louie shook his head, "Cassandra, ask me anything but not that one. I am disgusted with Sofia. Especially when I got the whole report about her infidelity before and during our marriage. I am not sure if I could control myself in front of her by not gripping her neck and break it."

"Louie, we didn't say that you will love her once again. We already have the hunch that, when she will be with you, she will open up and suggest the custody and surname battle in the court. She will do anything just to have the kids for it will be your bound to her" Samantha added.
