"I just can't believe she did this," Janet said in disbelief as she walked out of the police station with Andrew, Desmond, and Evelyn.

"Well, if you hadn't messed with her clothes, she wouldn't have done it," Andrew said, and Janet stopped in her tracks and turned to her husband.

"Are you defending her? If she didn't mess with my kids, I wouldn't have messed with her clothes! So, don't stand there and talk like you don't know why I did it!" She snapped at her husband, and Evelyn placed a hand on her shoulder before Andrew could respond.

"It's alright, Janet. There is no reason for you both to fight over this," Evelyn said calmly as she led Janet away from Andrew.

"Thanks for coming over and for talking to the chief of police. I didn't know you were acquainted with him," Janet said, and Evelyn smiled.

"He is an old friend. I knew him back in the days when I worked as a political aide to his political godfather," Evelyn explained when they stopped beside Andrew's car.

"I see. You must have maintained a good relationship with him, seeing how he handled everything," Janet said, and Evelyn laughed softly.

"Well, his political godfather was Desmond's father...."

"Desmond's father was a politician?" Janet asked as she stopped walking and turned to look at Desmond, who was talking with Andrew, as they slowly walked behind them.

"Yes. Lawrence Hank..."

"President Lawrence Hank?" Janet gasped in surprise, and Evelyn laughed softly.

"Why do you look so surprised? I thought you were aware of it," Evelyn said, feeling slightly embarrassed by the way Janet was gawking at her.

"Well, I always thought the whole fuss about your family name was largely because of Tom," Janet said, and Evelyn nodded.

"Well, that's true in a way because Tom is the reason most people now know who Desmond's father was. You've seen Desmond. He doesn't like unnecessary attention. He hardly even honours invitations to political gatherings," Evelyn explained, and Janet nodded in understanding.

"So you used to work for Desmond's father? Was that before or after you met Desmond?" Janet asked curiously, and Evelyn smiled.

"I met Desmond while working for his father," Evelyn said, and Janet forgot all about her earlier annoyance as she looked at Evelyn with interest.

"And he didn't object to your relationship?"

"Why don't I tell you all about it some other time? Perhaps during the flight," Evelyn offered with a small laugh.

"I'm sorry you got dragged into this," Janet said apologetically, and Evelyn grinned.

"You wouldn't be here if I didn't give you the suggestion," Evelyn said, and Janet giggled.

"Well, I still don't regret doing it," Janet said with a sigh as she glanced at her wristwatch.

"I guess we've missed our flight," Janet said with a sigh.

"The next flight for Ludus leaves by 2 PM. Desmond was able to get the manager to help us change our flight time," Evelyn suggested as their husbands joined them.

"That means we might be able to see Lucy before leaving. By the way, what's wrong with Sonia?" Janet asked when she remembered, and Evelyn sighed.

"She had a fight with Bryan. They're both taking a break, and she is pretty upset about it. Bryan has left for Ludus," Evelyn explained, and Janet frowned.

"Oh, dear! They are not going to break up, are they?" she asked with concern.

"I hope not," Evelyn said as she looked at the men.

"Since we are not leaving until the afternoon, how about we find some fun things to do until then?"

"You both can find something fun to do. We are going home to watch football," Desmond said, and Evelyn shook her head.

"You can find your way to wherever you are going to watch the football. We are taking the car with us," Janet said as she extended a hand to her husband for the car key.

"Why? Are we not all going together?" Andrew asked as he handed her the key.

"No. I'm not going anywhere with you," Janet said grudgingly.

"Alright. Try not to get into any more trouble," Andrew advised, and Janet hissed while Desmond and Evelyn laughed.

"See you later," Desmond told Evelyn as he kissed her cheeks, while Janet moved away when Andrew moved close to do the same.

"Fine. I'm sorry. I was only stating a fact. I didn't mean to upset you," Andrew apologised.

"A fact?" Janet asked testily, and Andrew raised both hands.

"I'm sorry."

"Did you pack our bags in the car?" Janet asked as she peered into the car.

"No, there was no time to do so. Those are their bags," Andrew explained.

Since Desmond and Evelyn had taken a cab from the airport down to the police station, they had left their bags in Andrew's car before meeting with the chief of police.

"I have an idea. Why don't we all go back to your house and get your bags, then we can all go to our house. You can leave your car at our house. Our driver can drop us off at the airport when it's time to leave," Evelyn suggested, and Janet returned the car key to Andrew as they all got into the car.

"Have you heard from them today?" Janet asked Evelyn curiously as they both got into the back passenger seat while Andrew took the driver's seat and Desmond took the front passenger seat.

Janet realised that she had not been able to ask Lucy about Harry and Candace during their short phone conversation.

"No. However, I spoke with Tom earlier. I should give Jade a call. She's with Harry," Evelyn said as she took out her phone from her handbag and dialled Jade's line.

Jade, who had just stepped out of the shower in Harry's bedroom after spending the last couple of hours preparing the house to receive Aaron, Harry, Candace, and Jamal, rushed to the dressing table to pick up her phone.

"Hello, mom!" She greeted cheerfully as she placed the phone on speaker and dropped it on the table.

"You seem like you're in a good mood. I guess everything is going smoothly over there," Evelyn observed.

"Yeah. Are you still coming over, or you've arrived already?" She asked curiously as she towelled her body dry.

"Our flight was delayed a bit. Lucas' ex-fiancée got Janet arrested," Evelyn said, and Janet winced in embarrassment.

"Arrested? Why? Is Tom aware? Has she been released?" Jade asked with a worried frown.

"Yes, she's out now," Evelyn said and explained the situation to Jade.

Jade scoffed, "She has got some nerves doing something like that when all the wealth she and her father own belongs to Candace," Jade said, and Evelyn raised a brow.

"Candace? What has she got to do with Rachel?" Evelyn asked curiously and placed the phone on speaker so that Janet and the men could hear Jade.

Both Evelyn and Janet stared at each other with wide eyes as Jade told them the connection between Rachel's father and Candace's adoptive father.

"You can't be serious," Evelyn said in disbelief while Janet and Andrew exchanged a look through the rearview mirror.

"I'm sure Tom and Harry won't let this slide," Jade said confidently.

"I wouldn't either. Not after this stunt she pulled. Where are you right now? Is Harry or Candace there with you?" Evelyn asked.

"No. I'm at Harry's apartment. I came to freshen up and also prepare his dad's room. He is coming home today," Jade explained.

"Is he feeling well now?" Evelyn asked with concern while Janet looked at her curiously.

"He is feeling better. He wants to recover at home," Jade explained.

"What about Candace and Jamal?" Evelyn asked curiously.

"They're fine. They should be coming over too. How is Sonia? I was trying to reach her earlier, but her line was not connecting," Jade said, and Evelyn sighed.

"I don't know how she's feeling. Hopefully, Lucy will be here soon to cheer her up. You should stop by Tom's house and speak to Bryan," Evelyn suggested, and before Jade could respond, she heard the sound of the doorbell.

"I will do that later in the day. I have to go now, mom. I think they are here," Jade said, and without waiting for her mom to respond, she hung up the call.

Quickly she looked around Harry's bedroom as she picked up her stuff and ran for the guest room.

Knowing Harry, he had rung the doorbell to let her know they were coming in and not necessarily because they needed her to get the door.

Even though she had wanted to shower in his bathroom and wanted him to know she had showered there, she didn't want the others to know it.

Once she ran into the guest room and started hurrying to dress up, she let out a deep groan when she realised that she had dropped her panties.

She bit her lower lip as she looked at the door. The plan was to mess with his head as he had done to her last night by letting him know she had been naked in his bedroom and had showered in his bathroom, not leave her thong in his bedroom! What was he going to think of her when he saw her panties in his bedroom?
