    Gretta''s heart raced with anxiety as ire''s figure disappeared from view, leaving her alone with Robert in the mansion''s grand backyard.


    she even fit


    find out?" she blurted out to Robert, her voice tinged with panic.


    "What are we going to do about this? How did she


    Robert''s expression hardened as he turned to face Gretta. "Calm down, Gretta. There is nothing we can do," he said sternly, his tone brooking no argument.


    But Gretta was already on a rant, her emotions spilling out in a torrent of words. "I told you, Robert! I knew ire was after the mansion. And now she''s taken my jewelry too! It''s not fair!" Robert''s re silenced her instantly. "That ne is not even yours to begin with," he reminded her sharply. "You stole Mary ne."


    Gretta''s face flushed with embarrassment, but her anger quickly red up again. "I did not stole it! you gave it to me. You didn''t even fight back when she ask for the ne!"


    "Then what do you want me to do, huh? Argue with her? She has the upper hand now, Gretta. I have lost my position, and I can''t lose anything anymore."


    Gretta snapped. "Then you should do something instead ofying low or or ying hide and seek."


    "Do what? Eliminate her?" Robert sighed as he look into his wife''s eyes. "ire is smarter than I thought. She even found out about the house. So, anything we do will just make it worse." Gretta gritted her teeth in anger.


    "That d


    doesn''t matter! She''s taking everything that belongs to us!"


    Robert let out a tired sigh, running a hand through his hair. "Gretta, listen to me. We can''t do anything reckless. We need to handle this situation carefully."


    Gretta''s frustration bubbled over, and she snapped, "I will not just sit back and let her walk all over us!"


    Robert''s patience wore thin as he warned her sternly, "Gretta, I have warned you before. Don''t do anything stupid. You understand me?"


    With that, Robert turned and headed inside the house, leaving Gretta seething in the backyard. Her nails dug into her palms as tears of anger and frustration welled up in her eyes.


    In a fit of rage, Gretta grabbed a nearby teacup and hurled it to the ground, the shattering sound echoing in the quiet evening air. She let out a primal scream, her emotions boiling over.


    will take that ne back just you wait and see, ire. I will not just stand still


    ire strode confidently through the bustling headquarters of her side gig. As she made her way to her office, she couldn''t help but notice Matthew, sprawled in her chair with his legs propped up on the table. A mischievous smirk yed on ire''s lips as an idea formed in her mind.


    Quietly, she retrieved her phone and found an rm drill sound on YouTube. cing it near Matthew''s ear as she yed the sound. The sudden re echoes through the room waking Matthew from his sleeping state. His eyes widen from the rm sound. "Is there a fire?"


    ire couldn''t contain herughter, quickdy stopping the sound. It took a moment for Matthew to realize it was just a prank, and he shot ire a yful re before settling back into the chair with a groan. "Why''d you do that?" Matthew asked, still slightly disoriented from the sudden wake-up call.


    ire chuckled, taking a seat at her desk. "It''s the only way to wake you up sometimes, Matthew,"


    As he rubbed his eyes, Matthew shifted the conversation to a recent confrontation ire had with the Robertsons.


    "How did the confrontation with the Robertsons go?" Matthew inquired; curiosity evident in his tone.


    ire shrugged nonchntly. "As expected, they denied twice and pretend to be stupid, but I held my ground."


    Matthew leaned in, clearly interested. "So, did the Robertsons really sell their house?"


    ire nodded, a hint of satisfaction in her expression. "Yes, they did. And when I found out, I decided to ask for their mansion in return. Fair trade, right?"


    the start of revenge


    Matthew''s lips curved into a smile at ire''s bold move. "And what happened?"


    ire''s smile widened as she leaned back in her chair. "Something unexpected obviously. Gretta Robertson begged me not to take the house. Said it held sentimental value. I decided to be generous and not press further." Matthew nodded appreciatively, impressed by ire''s tact. "You''re too kind sometimes, ire."


    ire waved off thepliment modestly, "I try. But I didn''t leave empty-handed. I asked for something even better."


    Matthew''s curiosity was piqued. "What did you ask for then?"


    ire leaned in closer, a yful glint in her eyes. "You''ll just have to wait and see, Matthew. Anyway, do you have any updates on An Smith, the drunk driver?" ire asked, her tone turned serious yetposed. "Let me grab the file." He replied before heading back to his office.


    Momentster, Matthew returned with a file in hand, which he handed to ire. She took a seat on the couch and opened the file, her eyes scanning the contents


    Inside, ire found a photo of An Smith along with his personal information. "He was 36 when he died, a truck driver," ire read aloud, her voice tinged with a mix of curiosity and concern.


    Flipping to the next page, ire''s eyes widened as she read further. "He had a family and a son," she remarked, ncing Matthew for confirmation.

    Matthew took a seat across from ire, his expression serious. "Yes, that''s correct. But when I tried to track down his family, I hit a dead end. Still working on it though."


    ire furrowed her brow. "We need to find them." she stated firmly.


    Matthew nodded. "I''ll keep digging We''ll find them."


    As ire delved deeper into the file


    file, she came across a photo of the car ident.


    Memories sh through her mind as she recalled that day. She could still remember the brutal crash. As if she was being transported back to the past.


    ire''s car got hit pretty badly that sent the car rolling and cut in half before falling down the cliff.


    Matthew noticed ire''s pale face and approached her side.


    A shudder ran through ire as she relived the moment in her mind''s eye. Her breath grew rigid, and herplexion paled noticeably. "ire are you okay?" he asked softly, his voice filled with genuine concern. ire took a moment topose herself, nodding slowly, "I''m okay, just... brought back some memories," she admitted, her voice slightly shaky. "Do you mind, I need some time alone." Understanding her need for space, Matthew gave her a reassuring nod. "Take all the time you need. I''ll be outside if you need anything," he offered before quietly leaving her office.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Alone in the silence of her office, ire took a deep breath, trying to push away the haunting memories that had resurfaced. Tears welled up in ire''s eyes. "Mum, dad, can I really do this?"
