At Jacob's mansion:

Edward was laying on his back on the bed staring at the ceiling, he didn't know how to deal with this situation. It caught him off guard and now he had no choice but to run to Edwin, his twin brother for help. The relationship between Edwin and Edward was not a good one because Edwin was stubborn and liked taking actions on his own without consulting Edward.

"So, what did Edwin say?" Cathrine, Lea's mother asked as she came out of the bathroom.

"We were going to kill that girl that will alert and enrage the McCarthy family so, we have to wait until an opportunity pops" Edward replied to his wife.

"Wait until an opportunity pops? We have so many rivals who are ready to take us down any minute. Without the McCarthy family backing us up, we are going down" Catherine said.

"We didn't think about that one but we don't have ideas" Edward said helplessly.

"There's never a complete defeat or a complete victory, you said that girl is a commoner, right?" Cathrine said grinning devilishly.

"Yes, what do you have in mind?"

"Other family members won't accept her and they'll put them under pressure until they are left with no choice but to toss her in trash" Catherine said with sparkling eyes.

"I love the way your little brain works" Edward said and pecked her on the lips then they started kissing.

At Golden Restaurant:

Chilled music was playing in the restaurant, everything was set and four were waiting standing in line by the door. Anna and Miguel entered the door, the scene was breathtaking. Anna was wearing a red gown with black pencil heels. Miguel was wearing a black suit, his hair combed back neatly, they looked like a match made in heaven. The waitresses took them to their table.

"You reserved the whole restaurant just for us?" Anna asked in a whisper, she was amazed by the beauty of the place.

"Anything for you, milady" Miguel said with a charming smile as he pulled out a chair for her.

At Helen's house:

"What are you doing, baby?" Mrs. Pam asked as she entered Helen's room.

"Just finished talking to Elan, was about to go to sleep" Helen replied.

"Now that you have a boyfriend you no longer have time for your mother?" Mrs. Pam asked and raised a brow.

"No, mom. I came to to your room and Mr. James said you were in your study and busy. Any trouble at work?" Helen asked worriedly.

"You're such a worrywart! There's no trouble, I was just finishing off the work I had today" Mrs. Pam said.

"Okay, mommy" Helen said and they hugged

"Helen I need to talk to you about something" Mrs. Pam said.

"About?" Helen asked.

"About Elan"

"What about Elan?" Helen asked again.

"I know you love him but I don't want you to feel suffocated. You know how riches work, right? I'm sure Elan doesn't know about your identity yet. To them, you're just a commoner and riches don't work like that. They're going to put you under pressure and force Elan to break up with you. And if you don't, they're going to use all methods to remove you in the picture. We're so close to getting what we want baby, I hope you can hold on a little longer. Can you do that for me?"

"Of course, anything for my momma" Helen said with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, darling and goodnight my little angel" Mrs. Pam said and pecked Helen on the cheeks.

"I love you, mommy"

"I love you too, baby. Let me go before James kill me, we have to finish off something"

In the study:

"Helen agreed to hold on a little longer but I don't want to put her in that situation" Mrs. Pam said worriedly.

"That means we have to take action" James said.

"You're right. The lives of those maids and guards will be in danger if anything happens"

"Yes, we have people reporting the situation to Chris 24/7 so we won't be late to save them if that time comes."
