Loosening his tie, Marcus settled into a large chair. “Conceal all the schedules for
today,” he instructed, his voice heavy with command.
“Yes, sir,” Derek responded promptly, acknowledging Marcus’ directive.
Derek quickly carried out Marcus’ instructions. Afterward, he cautiously inquired,
“Mr. Thomas, may I ask why you're not allowing Mrs. Thomas to go to the
hospital?”
The sentiments harbored by Mrs. Thomas towards him were likely those of
resentment.
Marcus’ gaze shifted to the rainy scene outside the window, his thoughts
unspoken.
Derek's understanding was evident as he grasped Marcus’ intentions to shield
Celeste from the rain’s harshness.
In Marcus’ mind, he grappled with the complexity of the situation. His trust in
Celeste’s innocence wavered against Millie’s conviction.
While Celeste might not have been a paragon of virtue, neither could she be
labeled as malevolent. Her nature did not veer into the realms of cruelty capable
of extinguishing lives.
However, Millie held an unshakable conviction that the deed had been committed
by none other than Celeste.
Amidst the surroundings, Marcus lifted a document, affording it a momentary
perusal before gently setting it back down.
“Mquire about her grandmother's well-being,” he said.
Derek conveyed with unswerving honesty, “I took the initiative to contact the
physician for an update. The situation is dire. The tumor within her cerebral
expanse has worsened, and her current condition is perilous—there exists a
possibility she might not regain consciousness.”
In a dimly lit corner, Bria’s voice carried itself to Rhea in a hushed discourse
about the unfolding circumstances.
“What? You urged me to seize a chance to reveal to Millie that her grandmother's
predicament wasn't orchestrated by Celeste but rather by your own hand. Why?”
Upon catching the conversational drift on the other side of the phone line, Bria's
epiphany arrived abruptly.

“Open the door.”
Without delay, Derek seized the key and embarked on an ascent to the upper
floor.
The door creaked open.
