water on her hand .

Martin glanced at her but didnt say anything .

When he looked up , he caught sight of Morgan tiptoeing toward the front door.

Morgan , he called out coldly .

Where are you going ? Morgan flinched .

She turned around and lowered her head .

Grandpa … I made plans to go shopping with a friend .

Go back to your room , Martin said sternly .

Morgan stomped her foot .

Grandpa ! Why are you being like this ? Ever since that woman Summer got hurt in our house , youve had the maids keep watch over me .

I havent even stepped outside my room .

Its not like it was my fault ! The maid acted on her own she was just trying to teach Summer a lesson .

What does that have to do with me ? Martins expression darkened .

Emelia stepped forward and knelt beside his chair .

Dad , dont be angry .

Morgans still young .

Keeping her locked in her room all day is too much .

She turned to Morgan .

Go on , just come back early , alright ? Dont give your grandfather more reason to worry .

Η Seeing that Martin didnt object , Morgan knew she had the green light .

She stuck out her tongue , then ran off quickly .

Soon after , the roar of a luxury sports car engine echoed from the driveway .

Emelia handed Martin a freshly poured cup of tea .

Dad , I know youre furious about all this .

Ive already scolded Morgan .

She knows she was wrong .

That maid basically raised Morgan .

She was like a second mother to her .

Her heart mightve been in the right place she just didnt understand what it meant to mess with the Graham family .

But now that shes dead , talking about it wont change anything .

We should focus on how the Harper family is going to weather this storm .

Martin took the tea and sipped it .

Emelia was right .

The maid was gone , and the Harper family had already apologized and paid a price .

But Fraser had no regard for past ties .

Martin had no choice but to take this seriously .

I know the Graham Groups consortium meeting is coming up , he said .

Their shareholders arent exactly unified .

Some of them want Fraser out .

Samuel , I want you and Cedar to go see August and Sharon from the Lawson family .

Tell them Granthera Bank is willing to lend a hand .

Fraser locked Helen up for the sake of that woman .

August and Sharon have already been stirring up the shareholders to create chaos at the meeting .

They came to me before 1 ignored them .

But this time , Fraser went too far .

Hes completely disrespected me .

So now I have no choice but to push back .

If we can get Fraser ousted at the consortium meeting , the Harper family wont need to fear him anymore .

We might even be able to win back the Norwyn District investment deal .

Cedars frown finally eased .

He gave Martin a thumbs up .

Dad , youre still the sharpest of us all .

Samuel and I will get it right away .

Martin gave them a warning .

Keep this quiet .

Fraser didnt rise to the top of the Graham Group in just a few years for nothing .

If this backfires and the meeting doesnt go our way , itll have nothing to do with the Harper family .

Samuel and Cedar nodded .

Dont worry , Dad .

Well handle it discreetly .

Martin let out a long sigh .

My old friend … I didnt want to do this .

But it was your grandson Fraser who struck first .

So dont blame me .

Meanwhile , Morgan arrived at Havenbrooks famous Saint Beauty Spa a place frequented by celebrities and elite socialites .

Each VIP guest had a private room and dedicated beautician .

Morgan stepped into one of the VIP suites to find Sasha and Liliah already there .

The studio was nearly a thousand square feet , complete with a soaking tub , full body treatment.

area , hair station , and a cozy lounge .

Morgan strolled in , tossed her Hermes bag onto the table without a care , and sank into the couch , crossing her legs with her bright red three inch heels glinting in the light .

She pulled out a box of cigarettes from her bag , lit one , took a long drag , and exhaled slowly .

Sasha and Liliah didnt look nearly as composed .

Both had clearly been on edge .

Liliah slumped on the couch with a sigh .

I havent been sleeping well .

Every time I close my eyes , I keep seeing the way Bossman looked like he was ready to kill someone .

Sasha , with dark circles under her eyes , added , Same here .

I swear Im on the edge of a mental breakdown .

Morgan tapped her cigarette against the ashtray , annoyed .

You two cowards ! Let me make this clear dont let anything slip .

If either of you says a word , I wont let you off the hook .
