Happily-ever-after The sound of the doorbell made Butler Gray sigh out his frustration and then he walked over to go answer the door.
When he opened it, Mr. Bamford was staring back at him with twelve police officers standing behind him. “Good morning, Chief?” Mr. Gray greeted politely. “May I help you?”
“Except for the workers, who else from the Hayes family is home?” Mr. Bamford asked.
“Madam Jewel is not back from the hospital yet, Ma‘am Martha suddenly packed her things and left, so it‘s only sir Dean who is inside the resident at this moment.”

“Can you get him out here for me?”
“Yes, chief.”
After Butler Gray left the doorway, it took a while before Dean could appear at the door, smelling of alcohol. His face was blotchy red in anger as he stared at Mr. Bamford.
“What do you want?” Dean demanded angrily.
“We have an order from the court. You are notified to move out of the mansion within the next twenty-four hours or else tomorrow, we will have full authority to move you by any means necessary to make sure that you

Without saying a word, Dean took a step back and then slammed the door in Mr. Bamford‘s face.
After standing frozen for a while, he took out his phone to do a bank transfer but soon realized that his account was frozen.

Suddenly, the heat of frustration awoke in him and he made a call to his bank, immediately lashing out at the receptionist when she picked up, “Why the fuck is my transfer not going through?” “I am so sorry, Mr. Hayes. But because the account is linked to the company and all assets of Vesta Co. have been frozen by the order of the court, your account had to be deactivated for the time being. My sincere–”
Abruptly ending the call, Dean threw his phone at the wall, and watched as it cracked against the hard surface, shouting, “Screw you, Elijah! Screw! You!”
