Chapter 87
Lucia was transferred from her previous school to the first junior high school in city A.
The school was a prestigious one that was owned and managed by three shareholders, The Standford's  The Chen's, and The Taylor's.
So far, Standford's was the largest shareholder with a total share of 55%. The Chen's owned 35% while The Taylor's owned 10%.
Due to this, Lucy suggested that Lucia be admitted to the school as there they'll be completely assured of her safety which was due to the tight security of the school.
Coincidentally, Ezekiel Chen also attended the school and they became friends there.
" Why didn't you want anyone to know about your background, Lucia? " Ezekiel asked her.
Lucia who was busy munching a pack of popcorn replied, " Well, I don't want preferential treatment as I want to live like a Normal student.." 
" Oh, but do you think it's a good idea? What if you end up being bullied? " Ezekiel questioned her.
" Well, then I'll give them a taste of their own medicine. " Lucia replied with an evil grin.
" Alright then. " 
" By the way, my mom wants you to come over this weekend that's If you are free. " 
" Let me think. " Lucia brooded for minutes before she spoke up, " I'll be there. " 
" Oh, but why did it take your time to decide? " He curiously asked.
" Well, I am always heading to Auntie Lucy's home every Saturday so... " 
" Oh, alright. " He replied realization, he was already aware of the relationship between those two families.
" Are you done? We've got to head back to class. " He told Lucia and the latter nodded before standing up.
They went to class hand in hand not minding the envious gazes they got from the girls and boys.

In Rose's office.
Rose was seating on her Exclusive chair while drinking a glass of milk while Stella was lying lazily on the Cream-colored Couch drinking a glass of coffee.
" By the way, Rose, have you found out about the gender of your baby? " Stella asked her.
" No, not yet. " Rose replied as she continued drinking the milk, she wasn't a fan of milk but she knew she had to if she didn't want to receive a scolding from Daniel.
   " Oh, why? " Stella asked curiously.
" Well, I don't want to, I want to let the gender be a secret, we'll find out after birth alright? So there's no need to be in a hurry. " Rose replied indifferently.
" Alright, then. " 
" So what about you? Have you decided to give love another shot? " Rose asked with a raised eyebrow.
" Well, I don't know yet. I don't want to get hurt. " 
" You'll only get hurt if you fall in love with the wrong Person alright? I have a feeling that Raymond might be the right man for you. " Rose sighed.
" But what if he isn't? " Stella asked with a tinge of doubt.
" Then we'll just let nature take its course so for now, try to open your heart to love. " 
" I will try. " 
" You better do. " Rose replied.
" Hm, let me head to my office now, I have got work to do. " 
" Okay, please inform the secretary that I need to talk to her. " 
" Sure. " Stella replied as she walked out of the room in her office suit.
Rose sighed a little as she drank the last drop of milk.
She then took out her mobile phone and proceeded to send a message to Daniel.
: Hubby, I just finished drinking the milk as you instructed. Are you happy? 
She tapped the send button, she smiled cheekily thinking of his reaction.
Daniel was in the meeting room discussing with the managers,  Assistants, and shareholders of his company.
They were discussing whether or not a particular model Lily Jones should be removed from the company or not.
They were deciding on a decision.
On one hand, Is the reputation of the company and on the other hand, is the income of the Company.
Lily Jones was accused of Stepping on other Actresses to get to the top, she was also accused of having affairs with directors to get a role, she was also accused of maiming a fellow Actress just to be able to get her role.
Now, the decision was supposed to be to remove her from the company.
But the problem is that the public is with her and against her company removing her.
Most of the shareholders were also on her side as most of them has had sexual affairs with her In the past and she was aware of their many secrets.
Now, what decision is to be made.
  " President, I suggest that we should blacklist her for the main time instead of putting her away, who knows? She might end up turning on a new leave. " A shareholder with a bald head suggested.
Not giving him a reply, Daniel turned to face Percy Gwen, Lily Jones One and only manager. " What do you think we should do, Miss Gwen? " He asked her in a serious tone.
" Well, I think she should be forgiven, I also believe that she'll turn a new leaf after all she just admitted her mistakes and apologized to the public. " Percy replied in support of her artist.
" Really? " Daniel asked with a deadly cold voice.
" Yes, President. " Percy shivered involuntarily from the intense gaze Daniel was giving her.
" Alright, let me ask you all a question. " He said Turning to the rest of the people in the room.
Seeing their nod of approval, he continued. " Supposedly, one of your sons or daughter was Maimed by a celebrity, What will you do? Will you forgive the celebrity and let her go Scott free or will you take action against her? " He scrutinized the faces of each and everyone in the room and even without them saying anything, he already got his answer from their body language.
The answer is obvious, isn't it? 
" But President, the parents of the Actress who was Maimed are not rich so what could they do? "
" Oh? So because they are poor they can be treated unfairly? Is that justified?. Weren't you once a poor church rat, Mr. Heder? Would you have been happy if someone stepped all over you when you were at your weakest point? " He asked.
"... " 
The meeting room became gravely silent.
Then the sound of an incoming text coming from Daniel's cell phone rang in the gravely silent room.
Daniel took his phone and opened the message, Seeing its contents.
His gaze turned soft and he even Smiled, he then sent a reply.
   : Good girl.
He then dropped his phone back and stared back at the Bewildered Expression of the people in the room.
Only, Jason, his assistant wasn't shocked, he was aware of who the message was from as he was aware that Rose was the only one that could make Daniel Smile at a time like this.
" Shall we continue? " Daniel said, his expression has changed from gentle to cold.
The people in the room were completely Suprised by her quick his expression could change from cold to gentle then back to cold.
