As soon as Becky and Freen left her study, Mrs. Armstrong dials Nick's number, bidding him to come to her study this minute. She furiously snaps the handset down on the phone and leans back in her chair as she throws her glasses down on the piles of papers layered all over her desk. It was one thing to accept her daughter's sexuality but a completely different thing having to deal with her shenanigans and sabotaging the future that she'd taken so long paving for her.

Nick appears almost immediately behind the door and closes it behind him. He knows when her boss calls her with that harsh tone in her voice, he should know better. She was in a bad mood and he wasn't about to do anything that will place him at the end of her enmity. Let the ill will for the daughter because he can bet that Amy had once again done something that pissed her off.

"Ma'am, you called for me." As he enters the study, he takes the time to supervise the premises to see if her daughter was within the area.

Mrs. Armstrong turns about her chair and looks up at Nick with an angry stare, "Nick, it is time for plan B.

"Are you sure ma'am? This will be a hard blow for your daughter." Nick stands behind the chair in front of Mrs. Armstrong's desk. She looks extremely angry. It is best to stay away instead of close to her nose to suffer an injury when she throws something through an angry fit.

"I don't care Nick. I don't fucking care. I have pampered that little girl for too long. I'll not have her throw away her future like this. Unfortunately, I have no secondary heir but her. I would give it to Charlotte but this is a direct family inheritance. She has my blood Nick and is the daughter of my late husband. This was the plan from the beginning. She has to go to Abu Dhabi." Mrs. Armstrong remembers talking this with her late husband over and over again, ever since Becky was but a toddler. Her whole future has been planned out and she is throwing it away like it was nothing just because she wants to be with that girl Freen.

"I understand that ma'am but she is at the most vulnerable moment of youth. She's experiencing love on a whole new different light and she loves it. That is something that you were bound to face at some point."

"It wasn't like that with Rachel though. I mean, sure she did rebel a little bit and I had to confine her in the house from ever running off to find Rachel. But, this is different. The insults and disrespects and hoping that girl Freen gives up and leaves because she has her dignity – she still stayed. I offered her money and she so 'graciously' refused and humiliated me." Mrs. Armstrong scoffs at the embarrassing memory.

"She even threw water at you." Nick adds.

"And The memory incident, which I am sure, would have worked. I brought back Rachel – twice – which I know would have accomplished something but no, she can't be with someone who doesn't love her. I took advantage of their love and yes, it brought me gains but I broke them up by having taken Becky to China and threatening her to ever spill her guts and ruins everything, compelling her to want to let Freen go. They still walked back to each other and I refuse to accept it." Mrs. Armstrong snarls, "I even fucking sent Freen to Germany Nick to be with her parents and she came back."

"And don't forget that letter where we changed the date so that Freen believes that it was recent enough and letting her go to Billy and accepts his marriage proposal..."

"But who would have thought my daughter was crazy enough to kidnap her at the wedding." She rises off her chair and paces away from her desk, "Becky needs to be with someone else when she advances further up the ladder and become my vice-chairwoman." She probes.

"Ma'am, if you put into motion that plan B; there's no way they will be back together after this." Nick says.

"That's what I am hoping Nick. Get into contact with the president of the university in Abu Dhabi."
