"I request everyone present here to calm down right away. I don't care what happened to Nancy. The only truth is that I love her. And as for the story of her marriage it is actually a lie. Joseph cooked up the whole story for his own benefit. Nancy was never married," Charles announced severely.

"Exactly. Good point. When did she get married? Derrick why are you after Charles's happiness? What stings you so badly? And Joseph, you...." Looking at Joseph in sheer anger, Angelina growled, "I have always treated you as my own child. I have always been kind to you. But look at you. You thought it was appropriate to back stab me like this? Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You turned out to be even more ungrateful than your father!"

But Joseph was just a rogue so he did not even listen to Angelina with any concentration.

With an impudent smile on his face Joseph walked casually up to Angelina and informed, "Auntie what you don't see is that I thought of your good all the while. Why are you painting me as the villain?

Joseph suddenly started laughing as if someone had cracked a huge joke. "Charles come on that is a lovely story! But tell us now if whatever you are saying is true, why did you hide it till now? It is clear you want to make fools out of us so that you can easily cover up for Nancy' relation with Edward. Although I admit you thought quickly, your story is hardly believable."

"Exactly. Joseph is absolutely right. Can you show me any evidence?" Derrick seemed worried. If indeed Nadia was Charles's daughter then his plan to frame Edward and Nancy would fall flat on the ground.

If that happened he would never achieve his goal of occupying the TS Group. Derrick could not lose like that!

It would be next to impossible for him to come back. How could he willingly give up everything?
