While Charlie and Jeanette were busy welcoming guests at the hotel that morning, Elliot's personal team of bodyguards and manned helicopters surrounded the entire Tierney Villa.
Charlie's subordinates had never in their lives encountered such a terrifying battle.
All it took was the time for Elliot to finish one cigarette in the living room for his bodyguards to get back what was his!
This top-secret plan was devised after Chelsea heard Charlie's phone conversation about how he had left his bargaining chip against Elliot with one of his subordinates.
Once Elliot retrieved his belonging, he left. Chelsea knew that today was probably the last time they would ever meet again in their lives.
He did not belong to her, not before, not now, and now ever.
She never received love from Elliot, but she learned how to be ruthless and cruel!
Over at the hotel, Ben received a phone call, then said to his comrades, "Elliot isn't coming. You can all leave now!"
"Huh? Can we at least stay for lunch?" Jun was hungry.
"There've been some changes in the Tierney family," Ben whispered. "You should leave if you don’t want to get caught up in the mess."
"What about you?" Jun decided to leave immediately. He wanted to stay and watch the show, but his life was more important.
"I'm not afraid to die, so I'm staying to watch the fun." Ben did not expect Chelsea to be this ambitious, so he wanted to see for himself if she was able to snatch the inheritance away from Charlie.
Jun dragged Chad out and left.
The flames instantly engulfed the piece of paper and turned it into ash.
Mrs. Scarlet stood silently on the side, afraid to say a word.
"Do you know what this is?" Elliot said suddenly, breaking the silence.
Mrs. Scarlet looked at the CD in his hand, then shook her head.
"It's a recording of my father's funeral. I take it out and watch it every year on his death anniversary," Elliot said hoarsely, then loosened his grip and allowed the CD to fall into the fireplace. "I was the one who killed him. You probably still remember that, right?”
Mrs. Scarlet's expression changed drastically.
