CHAPTER 6
She was awakened from her profound slumber at three o''clock in the afternoon. She was hungry
and went to the kitchen to get something to eat, but she lost her appetite when she saw the nasty
witch!
"We need to speak, E," Paloma exined.
Danie lifted her eyebrows at Paloma as she sat in her chair. "As far as I am concerned, there is
nothing to discuss." She refused to be referred to as Mama or Mother. She despised Paloma ever
since she became a member of her family.
"Do you recall what was written in Greg''s final will and testament?" Her purpose was not to anger
Danie, but her apathypelled her to be a cruel stepmother.
"That I would receive nothing until I have a child? You are aware that this is ludicrous, Madam."
"Indeed, that was ridiculous. However, our arrangement was not," she reminded her of the wager
they made that day.
Danie gave an impolite grin. "Well, see," she responded confidently, but on the heart, she prayed
Marcus was strong enough to make her pregnant in only one attempt.
Otherwise...

"Pardon me, Miss Paloma, Miss Danie, but Attorney rcosa was in the living room and he
indicated that it was essential." Patty, one of the domestic staff, alerted bothdies of the solicitor''s
arrival.
"Please direct him to the library; we''ll meet him there." Paloma was the first to recover from the
shock of the solicitor''s unexpected arrival after the will had already been read.
Danie was intrigued by the solicitor''s surprise visit and decided to apany Paloma to the
library.
"It''s wonderful to see both of you," Attorney Jaime rcosa greeted the woman who had just
arrived in Greg''s library to join him.
"Likewise, Attorney. How about you? How have you been?" Danie inquired of the elderly
gentleman who was seated in her father''s enormous swivel chair.
"Please have a seat," he requested.
"Is there a problem, attorney?" Paloma was taken aback by his facial expression, which indicated
that something was wrong.
"I''d want to begin by apologizing to you, E dear. It''s unpleasant to admit, but I made an error
when I read Greg''s final will and testament." He proceeded to exin, and both women nodded.
"Mistake? What do you mean?" Danie inquired evasively.
"I neglected to read your father''s amended will a few weeks before he died," he said.
"Hmm, attorney, why don''t you read it now?" Danie crossed her legs as she awaited the solicitor''s
reading to begin.
She prayed for Paloma''s soul as the attorney began reciting her father''s final will and testament.
She was well aware that the woman will erupt in wrath and may attempt suicide as a result of her
defeat.
However, there were no significant revisions to the will. Paloma nevertheless received what she
deserved, and Danie was enraged. She desired to question as to what had be of Gregory''s
condition that she must fulfill before inheriting anything, but refrained.
However, it still took her breath away that the most desired home on a remote beach with the
greatest seaview in Oslob was suddenly hers. Her father adored the lovely and wispy Paloma
Murillo, which caused her to wonder that the home would be handed on to his second wife.
"He was very wealthy, attorney!" Danie responded to the fact that her trust fund included a
whopping fifty million dors.
"E, he is a prudent investor."
"However, what became of the condition specified in his original testament?" Either the solicitor
neglected to say it or she did not hear it previously.
"Greg was joking at the time," he said, smiling as he recalled his friend''s expression that day.
"Meaning?" Danie pressed him on his assertion that her father was joking at the time.
"That is, you are not required to have a child to receive anything. With regards to the cash, you now
haveplete ess to it," he continued, handing her a passbook.
However, Danie couldn''t care less about the amount of money in her passbook. She was deaf to
everything and could only think of the rash mistake she had taken in Hong Kong with Marcus
Madrigal. Not only was it irresponsible, but it was aplete nightmare!
"Are you all okay, E?" Paloma inquired when she observed her pallor.
"I am OK," she said. However, she may be OK despite having lost her virginity to Marcus and the
possibility of being pregnant soon!
When attorney Jaime rcosapleted his work as Gregory''s solicitor, he waved farewell. "I''m
only a phone call away,dies, if you need me."
Paloma nodded, but her gaze remained fixed on E. Her maternal instincts alerted her to the fact
that something was wrong with Danie. "Is there something wrong?" she said in the tone of a
mother speaking to her children.
Danie''s standard reaction to Paloma''s enquiry was "none of your business," and she stormed out
of the library to be alone.
Paloma choked back her cries as she watched Danie go away. She had been patient with her for
twenty years, but Greg''s daughter was still refusing to ept her. Karma was a scumbag, and she
got exactly what she deserved for abandoning her own child in favour of E. Perhaps it''s time for
her to return to her own family.
Danie, on the other hand, has taken a ce in her heart, and she couldn''t abandon her,
especially given Gregory''s recent death. The only reason she desiredplete control over their
riches was to punish her. Paloma felt certain that Danie would achieve a great deal without her
money. She was deep in thinking about how to win Danie''s heart when her phone rang.
"When are youing home, Ma? I''m missing you."
"I''m sorry, Lilian. Greg recently died, and I am unable to leave Danie alone," she stated, but her
daughter shouted and refused to listen, then hung up. Lilian was very justified in being enraged with
her. That was exactly what any daughter would do!
