Kent can't believe what's going on.
“Eloisa, did your dad talk to the investors to take back their shares? Tell me!” he can't just sit there and act as nothing happened.
After their commotion a while ago, Greta and Gale decided to go home because the two brothers were fighting over false accusations.
Eloisa cupped her head because of a headache.
"What? Why would my dad do that? He helped you and your dad with your business so why are you blaming him? Because he had a huge share?” Austin was now asleep, and the couple were arguing inside their room.
Kent glared at her. He can't believe that his wife will talk to him like that.
“Okay, thanks to your father, we managed to get away from bankruptcy, but did you ever know what your father was doing when he was attending business overseas? I heard a rumor about it. Don't dare me!” he warned his wife.
Eloisa chuckled.
"Go, tell the police. Your father was also one of them so don't you ever tell me how dad ruled our business! I married you out of pity Kent!” she said.
After hearing it, he felt like his ego had been stomped.
He stormed towards Eloisa and slapped her on her face. She held her face and fiercely gazed at him.
"How dare you hit me? I won't let this slide!” she said, and she took her bag to go.
Kent just got mad, and he didn't mean to beat her.
“I'm sorry. I just—" Kent stopped when Eloisa ignored him, wiping the tears from her face.
He just sat on the bed and decided to call his father, Alexander.
"Dad, did you hear the news? It's over! Our business will go bankrupt!” he told his father.
Alexander just listened and took a deep breath. He knew why Sherlock did it. He will talk to him again about the abrupt decision of him. He has no idea what he did wrong to make him angry.
“I will handle it. Don't worry!” he said with his calm voice.
"Really? Well, I think Gale was behind this! His firm is rising. Maybe you better talk to him!” Kent said to his father.
Alexander wanted to tell his son that he already sold the Ace Wine Corp to Eloisa. She visited him in his office to talk about it. She also told her father-in-law to stay quiet to his son Kent if he wanted to keep the Kings and Queens Hotel.
“Is Gale bothering you? He's doing his thing for his business. Don't make a fuss on a matter to your brother. Solve your problem Kent. You're not a child anymore!” Alexander taught his son what to do.
Kent can't believe that no one wanted to help him even his wife.
"I'll do it alone, dad. Don't worry. Bye." He said and turned off his phone.
He can't sleep well tonight so he instructed Dilan's nanny what to do when Austin woke up.
Kent decided to go somewhere to have fresh air. His life is now in chaos after he left Lucy and came back to her life after ten years and fooled her again. He used her to get pregnant and take their son from her.
He wanted to make everything right but how can he put it back when he's the one who shattered her life into pieces. Now, that she's gone, he's still haunted by her in the presence of Greta.
Cassandra POV
I was on my way home when I saw a familiar face outside Stevens Bar. I went outside to buy groceries since my fridge is out of stock. I put down the plastic bags I'm holding and slowly rub my eyes to confirm if he was Lucy's ex-lover Kent Oliver Stone.
"Wait, it's him! What is he going at this hour?” I mumbled after seeing him went inside.
I made an idea. Since my mission is to make the couple fight and to let Kent know that his wife was meeting up with his little brother alone.
I went inside too, and I noticed that he was sitting at a table alone. I walked close to the wine bar area and I ordered one mixed drink. He was so serious, nursing his one beer bottle and so was I. I noticed that he was about to go so I followed him. He was already at the entrance of the bar when he stopped and grabbed my arms.
“Are you stalking me?” he asked me with his fierce eyes.
I started to make an act.
"Yeah. I think I saw you somewhere. You’re Gale's brother, right?” I set a brave face towards him.
After hearing me, he loosened his grip and finally let me go.
“How do you know him? Are you his stalker too?” he looks confused.
I walked outside and he followed me. I took my groceries near the bouncer.
I took a deep breath and act like I was mad at him.
"Why are you glaring at me, huh?” he uttered again.
I didn't want to make this long, so I decided to tell him that I am Greta's friend.
“You think I'm crazy? If you wanna know who I am, let me tell you that I am Greta Stone's friend." My eyes flickered after saying it.
I saw Kent's eyes widen. I saw how surprised he was and how he wanted to know more about her.
"Wait? Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know you, so I thought you were some stalker, you know!” he explained but I just shrugged my shoulders and smile at him ”It's okay. I saw you in the article with them last month. You attended the Zeus Palace Anniversary event, right? You have a cute son and a pretty wife!” I said but he just didn't react about it.
"I don't want to tell you this kind of stuff but how long did you know Greta? She looks like someone I knew but I think she's not her. I'm confused because your friend was kind of identical to my ex!” he said.
We were outside the bar so I told him to go near his car so no one would suspect us. He agreed and I said everything that Lucy taught me to say about her background.
Kent's face became disappointed.
“I'm so sorry to bother you but I think it's time for me to go,” he said.
"Sure. Sorry if I disturb you. Anyway, I'm Cassandra. Nice to meet you!” I said before he left.
“Same here. Here is my calling card. If you need any help, you can contact me." I didn't expect him to give me his calling card.
Yes, my plan is about to start. I'll do it tonight and this would be exciting.
"Just wait Eloisa and asshole Gale, we are coming to get you," I mumbled after waving my hands at Kent inside his car.

Kent POV
"Hello, Kent, do you know Gregory Klint?” I received a phone call from the police.
It's too early in the morning.
“Yes, sir. I'm his business partner and a friend. What about him?” I asked. I didn't know that I slept inside the car.
"This is urgent. His servant found his dead body inside his room!” the police officer told me and I was unaware of what's happening.
“What?!”
I quickly started my car and drove straight to the morgue.
