The moment the phone rang. Calvin hurriedly asked, “Jepson, is everything alright with you and Blanca?”
Jepson, still holding back the bitterness of the recent events, chose not to bring it up. “Calvin, what exactly happened at Lento? Why has Mom been trying to reach you all day without success?”
“It’s ak
a long story.
at Lenta. Once he finished, he started venting to Jepson about how Elaine had been
Calvin then recounted everything that had gone down at unreasonable, making things spiral out of control.
Jepson, cutting him off immediately, said, “Calvin, stop right there. You need to apologize to Elaine right now and beg for her forgiveness. That’s the only way you can salvage this situation”
“What?” Calvin could barely believe his ears. “Jepson, are you telling me to apologize to Elaine? Am I hearing you right?”
Jepson’s face was deadly serious as he replied, “You heard me correctly. You need to apologize to Elaine and ask for her forgiveness”
“Why should I?” Calvin’s voice wa
voice was filled with defiance.
Jepson retorted, “Why? Because you had the nerve to plot with a man and put him in Elaine’s room. Calvin, think about this: if it gets exposed that you and this guy tried to drug Elaine, what will you gain from it?
“Are you and Bianca planning to get arrested? Or do you really want to ruin Elaine’s reputation” Calvin, you’ve gone way too far this time.”
His tone was sharp, filled with frustration and disbelief. He couldn’t fathom how stupid Calvin had been. Forget everything else did he truly want to destroy Elaine’s reputation?
Silence fell between them. Finally, Calvin muttered “Of course, I didn’t mean to ruin her reputation. I just wanted to teach her a lesson, make her stop going after Bianca,”
The whole situation had spun out of his control
Jepson snapped hack, “Well you certainly shouldn’t have done something so reckless.”
“Even for Bianca, you still need to apologize, Jepson added firmly

Calvin, though still resentful, eventually sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll do it. Don’t worry, Ill take the blame for everything. No matter Tl shoulder the consequences alone. The Years family and Bianca won’t be affected.”
Jepson felt conflicted inside, though he didn’t say anything more.
He was clearly unsettled, but didn’t want to show it
Deep down, he was also struggling with the situation, unsure how things had gone so wrong for the Years family.
But at this moment, he couldn’t shake the feeling that everything that was going wrong could somehow be traced back to Bianca. They’d all brought this upon themselves
Meanwhile, Calvin was just as lost, feeling the weight of the family
family’s mess.
That night, as the Yeats family braced for another restless evening, Bianca’s departure only added to the chaos.
Tracy, who couldn’t stand by idly, made sure Bianca had money to survive on, though she feared it wouldn’t be enough
Blanca, cold as
as ever, accepted the money without a hint of gratitude. In her eyes, Tracy owed her.
“You promised me I’d never leave the Years family,” Blanca thought bitterly. But this time, Tracy had broken her word. From now DIL wouldn’t care about Tracy’s well–being
Bianca
The one secretly pleased by it all was Janet. She had always feared that Bianca’s bond with Tracy would overshadow her own status as Blanca’s real
Now, it seemed like Bianca might actually hold a grudge against Tracy.
One day, Janri mused, she’d show up at the Yeats family, take credit for raising such a remarkable daughter, and bask in her success,
Elaine, watching all the drama unfold within the family, simply made her move in the game. She had promised herself that

Excited, he rushed to tell his father.
“Dad, it’s really Elaine! She looks exactly like the photos–no, she’s even more beautiful in person. The camera didn’t do her justice.”
“Really?” A man with a square jaw and a stem expression couldn’t hide his excitement. “It’s been almost twenty years… I can’t believe how much she’s grown
He couldn’t wait to m
to meet Elaine and tell her that he was her real uncle.
Beside him, a gentle–faced woman added. “Let’s go get her. We’ll bring her back and rescue Dad from Boynton too. They must have suffered so
much in that home”
At the mention of the past, George’s temper flared
“They’re doing to Elaine what they did to us back in the day, he grumbled. He had lived through the early years of his marriage to Sandra, when Ella showed blatant favoritism towards Roben and looked down on him as her eldest son–in–law.
Now, they were doing the same to Elaine, putting all their support behind Bianca.
Sandra sighed, “Forget it. Since they look down on Elaine so much, why don’t we just bring her back and officially adopt her into our family? her uncle–why can’t you be her father? After all, we don’t have a daughter, so you can live our your dream of having one?
Her son piped up. “Exactly! Does that mean I have a sister?”
You’re
George chuckled, a bit sheepishly, “Well, we’ll still need to ask Elaine what she thinks. But, I’ve been in touch with Dad recently. He’s been locked up at the villa by Ella. I heard from someone that Graham isn’t allowed to do anything without Ella’s approval–it’s really getting out of hand”
As he spoke, George’s one grew more frustrated,
I’ve already made plans. In less than a month, we’ll get Graham back from Boynton and let him enjoy y his retirement in peace. Ella won’t suspect a thing. By the time she notices, it’ll be too late. If she dares in come to Lento, I’ll show her who really owns this territory.”
Sandra quickly interrupted. “Alright, alright, enough with your rash talk”
“Fine, I get it. I’ll be more careful with

Elaine had no idea that her uncle had been keeping an eye on her.
And, soon enough, she would have relatives who truly cared for her.
Kingsley was the first to hear from George, and the quickly arranged for a meeting at a five–star hotel. Elaine was about to meet her long–lost relatives
