Once Diana entered the companies building obviously through the main entrance, and Felicity and some officers following behind her. Wakins who was on the floor immediately caught a glimpse of her and he buried his face the more.
Wakins knew her. She is Charity Wakins granddaughter, The president general betrothed. Few months ago, the president general asked him to make a research and find out about Charity Wakins granddaughter, and when he had a success and was on the process of informing the president general, he was kidnapped! And threatened so that he could leave Sterling City. He was, and is Danny just a different name. He was made to change his identity and name from Danny to any name, and he changed it to Wakins, preferably. He has been severely warned never to show his face on Sterling city or to the president general let alone inform him about the lie he was made to tell. It was the only way he could keep his innocent mother safe.
Ever since Danny left sterling city to Delta city and secured a job as Felicity's assistant, the guilt of lying to his best friend, Mark, the president general ate him up but there were nothing he could do and now, Mark is likely married to the fake Charity Wakins granddaughter and the real Charity Wakins granddaughter here with a battalion of soldiers. But why?
In no time, Diana, Felicity were already left alone in Felicity's office for them to settle their scores.
Diana was seated, crossing her legs, then she sighed and dropped the fake silver ring she had on the desk. Felicity could recognize it. She was seated opposite Diana, on her original office chair.
"What's it?... How are your Triplets?..", Felicity inquired, trying to stall the question she would be asked next.
Speaking about her children, Diana was not sure they're entirely fine. But sure, Mark was there to take care of them...
"They're fine!", Felicity heard her say...
"And..-" Felicity wanted to add something when Diana disrupted her with "shhhhhhi.."
"Back to why I'm back here in Delta City....." Diana started.
"I don't want any trouble with you.... You helped me a lot in the past and I appreciate and acknowledge that but right now.... I want the silver ring back!!", Diana quickly stated her reason for coming.
Felicity chuckled, "I don't understand.. is it not the silver ring you just dropped on the desk? Right in your front?" Felicity was at the extreme of denying, as she pointed at the silver ring on the desk.
"No, it's fake! You cloned it and left me with fake. It was your intention all along. I did just trusted you beyond measure! Well, that's that for that. I need my silver ring back! I'll pay you for all the expenses!"
"I did? I di.... did not! How can you accuse me of such after all I did for you? Humans are this wicked? Damn!!!!!" Felicity exclaimed, seriousness written all over her face.
Diana was shocked. "Could it be she was really accusing her wrongly?"
"If she were lying and denying, with my understanding of human psychology and my sensitivity, I should be able to tell she is lying but I can't. Could it be she is being sincere at the moment?.."
Diana hesitated-only for a moment, but Felicity saw it, and felt a small and inexplicable shiver of apprehension run up her spine.
"Felicity please.... I need the silver ring, by all means necessary. Who did you sold it to? I can recover it!..", Diana pressed in further.
"I said I don't have it! Why don't you believe me? You used to trust me!", Felicity half-shouted.
If not because she had the military on her side, by now she should have ordered her secretary to throw her outside, but she can't now.......
After a brief moment of silence. "Felicity continued, I really don't have it! Someone else must have done it. Definitely not me!". She asserted.
Diana smiled... and then stood up, she was running out of patience about how cool Felicity was playing her game, Diana then began...
"I checked your transaction history and you received a half a billion dollar from one Mr Otani... How did you get such money? We both know you have no connection with her and he is a reputable wealthy antique collector. The silver ring is even worth more than that and he is not loan shark either.. even if he is.. he can't loan you such huge amount of money!" Diana heaved a sigh and continued.
"Tell me the truth!!!". She added.
Felicity, despite feeling checkmated didn't agree at this moment, instead she got aggressive. Because why not? She signed a deal with Mr Otani's family never to disclose anything about the business they did once it's finalized, and it was finalized few months back.
"What do you mean?... That's my privacy! How can you intrude on my privacy by checking my transactions? You know I can sue you for it!" Felicity pointed out and felt a small flower of apprehension beginning to open up and rose up inside her chest.
"You seem to forget I'm part of the military!.... And i'll have to meet Otani personally then! I'm sure you sold it to him!", Diana knew Felicity well enough to recognize her tension just from the set of her shoulders.
"Have a goodnight rest!", Diana added and then left unsatisfied. Felicity wouldn't agree she was responsible although, evidences points to the fact that she was ... and she is -
"Yea, Goodnight!.." Felicity heard herself say softly, a flicker of apprehension in her voice.
Immediately Diana left.... Felicity heaved a huge sigh. She feared this might happen but just didn't prepare towards it. She has trillions of dollar now and could possibly buy back the silver Ring.. but would she?
At the same time in sterling city..... Owen's health had deteriorated and he requested to talk with Mark.
Mark speedily rushed inside the operating room when he was informed by the head Doctor.
He halted by his steps when he saw Owen's. Breathing with the help of machines.
"Grandpa!", Mark called out. Feeling utterly confused and bad.
