With that, Lucinda abruptly ended the call.
Listening to the click of the phone being hung up by Lucinda, Violetaâs frustration bubbled over as she turned to Nala, venting her anger.
âCan you imagine? Iâm her sister-in-law, and yet she treats me like this.
Not a shred of respect, and sheâs still so impatient.
â
Violeta sighed heavily, feeling a sense of unease, hoping Nala would shed more light on the plan for tomorrow night.
However, instead of addressing the plan, Nala held her hand reassuringly.
âYouâre enduring a lot, Mrs.
Simmons.
Lucindaâs hatred towards you because of Mr.
Simmons is unfair.
But soon, everything will be resolved.
â
Noticing Nalaâs avoidance of the topic, Violeta took the initiative to inquire, âIs everything set for tomorrow nightâs plan? Will anyone die?â
Nala offered Violeta reassurance with a gentle pat on her hand.
âDonât worry, Mrs.
Simmons.
Iâm here to help you reclaim whatâs rightfully yours, while also securing some cooperation for AN Group.
Rest assured, I wonât harm anyone.
â
Drawing closer, Nala whispered to Violeta, âIâve taken care of all the arrangements.
All thatâs required from you is your cooperation tomorrow night.
â
Violeta, noting Nalaâs caution and reluctance to divulge her planâs details, felt powerless to press further.
Any additional inquiries might spark suspicion.
âItâs getting late, Miss Diaz.
Good night,â Violeta stated, retracting her hand from Nalaâs and ascending the stairs.
Nala watched her departure, pondering deeply.

The following day, after ensuring all preparations were complete, Lucinda made her way back to Peace Mountain.
Graham, hindered by his Limited mobility, had scarcely left his bed, save for necessary trips to the bathroom and for bathing.
Violeta had taken to serving his meals bedside, feeding him with care.
Upon Lucindaâs arrival at the villa, the kitchen buzzed with activity as the chefs prepared dinner, the delightful scents wafting through the air.
Violeta and Nala welcomed her at the door, However, Lucindaâs demeanor was frosty as she bypassed them, heading straight to the bedroom to see the ailing Graham.
âVioleta, would you mind stepping out with Miss Diaz? I wish to speak with Graham in private,â Lucinda requested.
âOf course, but donât take too long.
Dinner will soon be served,â
Violeta replied.
With a nod from Lucinda, Violeta and Nala exited, leaving her to secure the door behind them.
Lucinda then settled into a chair beside Grahamâs bed, observing his pallid countenance as he rested against the headboard.
Graham, meeting her gaze with a hoarse voice, inquired, âWhat is it you wish to discuss?â
âWhat are you avoiding?â Lucinda probed.
âCould you clarify?â Graham responded, his gaze lowered.
