“What do you think you're doing?”
“Open the gate. I work for the Dashiell family. Fiona Dashiell misses Mr. Ron and instructed me to pick him up so he can stay at the Dashiell estate for a few days.”
The maid looked utterly perplexed. She stalled, showing absolutely no intention of unlocking the gate.
Ray lost his patience. “Open it!”
With his naturally menacing demeanor, he delivered a violent kick to the iron gate. A deafening clang echoed through the air.
The maid flinched in terror and immediately sprinted back toward the main house without a word.
“What's the play here, Boss? Did you see her face when you mentioned Mr. Ron? She looked completely bewildered. Do you think something went wrong?”
One of the bodyguards stepped up behind Ray.
Ray took a step back and raised his hand.
“Smash it open.”
Following his order, the bodyguards immediately retrieved heavy tools from their vehicles.
Inside, the maid bolted into the mansion, screaming at the top of her lungs.
“Chairman West! There's a mob of men in black outside! They say they're from the Dashiell family and they're here to take the young master!”
On the spiral staircase, Martin West paused, having just emerged from his study.
Hearing the maid's panicked shouts, he scowled deeply.
“What young master? This is absurd! Go tell them the boy isn't here. The West family is not taking visitors today!”
Before the maid could even turn around, several thunderous crashes erupted from the front gate.
Another servant rushed in frantically. “Sir, it's a disaster! They broke down the gate and are charging in!”

Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
