With that, Kyle left.

Antonette continued staring at the moon, lost in thought.

Right after the engagement party, the planning for Carol's wedding began. As Diana had promised to be her bridesmaid, they were both busy preparing for the big day.

Meanwhile, Brian was forced to accept Kyle's offer and hence, let him become the CEO of the William Group. Finally, Kyle had gained an equal footing with Brian.

Simon was totally in the dark about the change. When he eventually found out what had happened, it was too late. He was boiling with anger and called Brian to come back home immediately.

When Brian arrived, Simon was still in a mood. The moment he walked in, Simon had a fit of anger and threw a teacup at Brian.

The loud noise made Mrs. Garcia come out of her room to check what was going on.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"It's none of your business. Go back to your room," Simon answered bluntly.

Mrs. Garcia slinked away angrily. Unknown to Simon, she didn't obey his orders and stayed in the stairwell to eavesdrop.

With Mrs. Garcia out of the way, Simon began ripping into Brian, "How could you let an outsider become CEO of the William group?"

Brian replied, "I will find a solution to deal with him."

This pushed Simon into an uncontrollable rage. "You'll find a way? What the hell are you going to do?"

Brian sneered, "I'm better than you, father. Rest assured, I won't destroy grandpa's legacy."

Brian turned to leave, causing an exasperated Simon to throw a magazine at him. It flew towards Brian and caught him on the side of his face.

But Brian didn't stop. He continued on his way without looking back.

Mrs. Garcia's heart sank as she listened to their talk. As soon as Brian left, she hastened to give Kyle a call.

"Kyle, you've been too showy recently. It's okay if you want to die, but I'm not willing to go down with you," Mrs. Garcia threatened.

Her words were hilarious to Kyle. Her views were so short-sighted. But still, he knew he had to show her some respect.

"You know I've been in high spirits since I got the backing of the Jefferson family. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm just saying, watch your back."

Hearing Simon's footsteps approaching, Mrs. Garcia quickly hung up the phone.

"Who were you chatting with?" he asked.

Mrs. Garcia shook her head, "No one."

When Brian returned home, he was surprised to find his mother waiting for him at the kitchen table.

"Mum, what are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me you'd be coming?"

"Why shouldn't I be here?" Grace scoffed. "You and Sybil didn't call even once in the past few weeks."

"Where is your sister?" Grace asked.

With all that had been going on, it had not occurred to Brian to inform his mother that Sybil had moved out.

Brian's silence instantly roused his mother's suspicions. She went upstairs to Sybil's room, and everything was gone. Since Sybil's love affair with Ken was impossible to hide, Brian told Grace everything.

"Tell her to come back right now!" Grace shouted.

When Sybil received Brian's call, she was busy working on a new design.

"Sybil, come back at once," Brian commanded.

"But I'm working overtime. It's for an important project," Sybil protested.

Closely watched by Grace, Brian was unable to explain the reason, so he had to insist, "Leave the design and come back now." With that, Brian hung up.

Brian's anxious tone made Sybil worry, so she asked Ken to take her back immediately.

When Sybil opened the door to Brian's house, she found her mother sitting at the table. This sent alarm bells ringing in her mind.

"Mum, why are you here?"

Grace snorted, "If I hadn't come over, how could I know you've become so bold?"

"Okay, so I didn't tell you that I started working in the William Group. But that's all I kept from you. Don't be mad, Mum."

"Only that?" Grace questioned, eyebrows raised.

"What else is there?" Sybil played dumb, but it was all in vain.

"Ask him to come in," Grace said grimly.

While Ken already knew Grace, it was the first time for him to see her as Sybil's boyfriend.

Grace was surprised to discover Ken was Sybil's boyfriend. She had always liked him, but she was unhappy that they'd hidden their relationship.

"When did you start dating my daughter?" Grace asked Ken.

Sybil couldn't help interjecting, "Mum, what are you doing?"

Grace gave Sybil a fierce look for her interruption.

"Ken, allow me to speak privately with my daughter, please."

Ken didn't need telling twice and swiftly went outside to the garden.

Sybil sighed. She had succeeded in persuading Brian but had no idea how to handle her mum.

Grace looked at Sybil and asked nervously, "Did he force you into this?"

"Mum, what are you thinking? If Ken were that kind of person, how could Brian allow me to live with him?"

This came as some relief to Grace, though she still had her doubts.

After Sybil had calmed her mother down, she turned her attention to Brian and went out to the garden where he was sitting, smoking.

"Brian, couldn't you have helped me out a bit there? I know my stuff is not in the room, but Diana's is still there. You could have covered for me," Sybil yelled.

Brian slowly exhaled the smoke in a long, drawn out-breath.

"Diana has moved out."

"What? Why? Did you quarrel?"

"She wants to break up with me," Brian said gloomily.

"When did this happen?"

"Nearly one week ago…"

Now she looked at him properly, Sybil could see Brian was very down. She'd never seen him like that before.

"Why didn't you tell me? Didn't you try and persuade her to stay?" Sybil said in exasperation.

After a silence, finally, Brian replied, "You don't understand..." And then he walked away.

"Of course I understand," Sybil mumbled.

Sybil made up her mind to help Brian and Diana reconcile.
