After finishing making the soup and making sure she had it all and rested, with Meg by her side. I went looking for our fathers who were having a chat with uncle Holland Alex and Markus.
"Hi Ben, want some tea?" asked my father with an inquiring look.
"Thanks, dad. She's with Meg," I said looking at what Markus was showing Alex.
"Ben I think you should check this out," said Alex handing me the photos.
"How was the investigation on Liam," asked my father.
"Sir, we heard that he is back from abroad a few days ago," said Markus.
"And he accompanied some lady from Paris, it seems," he added.
Jonathan came in at the same time,
"Guys you need to buy a helicopter if I am ever going to visit you," he said smiling.
"Why?" asked Alex.
"Those paps are pests. They didn't let me get through the gate for almost fifteen minutes,"
After settling down and introducing him to Saraha's father, we went on to our main topic.
"I almost forgot, Ben, I got some news about the guy from Paris,"
"Tell us without keeping it to yourself?" said Alex.
"My man who investigated him found that he had been in a hospital for a month but with a different name,"
"Why would he change his name?" asks Sarah's father.
"SImply to hide his identity," pitched Uncle Holland.
"The funny thing is, he had done a full face reconstruction when he can do just a small scar removal thing on his face," said Jonathan rather amused.
"Must have spent a lot," said my father.
"Well money is not an issue, he's a billionaire's son," said uncle Holland.
"But why do you think Mr.Alexander is trying to protect his son, in such a way?" asked Alex.
"That's something we need to find out," I said looking at Markus, who seemed a bit confused.
"Hmm... Sir," he said still confused.
"What is it and why do you look like you cannot figure out which direction to go?" said Alex handing him another cup of tea.
"Ms.Wang was the one Liam accompanied a few days ago,"
Making us all surprised till uncle Holland said,
"Now I get it, that's why that Alexander dude wanted so badly to have Ms.Wang as the model,"
"But just because he accompanied her, we cannot say she's also involved," I said being practical.
Meanwhile one of Markus's team members bought some photos and a videotape.
"OO Lala... are they a couple," said uncle Holland.
"You mean a romantic relationship?" asked Sarah's father, who just got a nod approving what he said.
"Guys check this out," said Jonathan who was chatting with someone on the phone and showed us the photo taken in the Paris airport.
"So they both came together, is it a coincidence or one step of a plan?" asked Alex.
"But we don't have proof for anything," I said with concern.
As the others discussed, I went on to check on Sarah.
"Meg,"
"She fell asleep," she said. "And how are you holding up?"
"Things are confusing, but I feel we might have found a connection,"
"You mean?" she asked confused.
"Liam and that model seem to be connected together,"
"You mean they plotted this?"
"Hmm.."
"OH my!! will he try to harm her again," she asked worriedly.
I went to her and tucked her more under the blanket and kissed her forehead, saying,
"I will not let anything happen to her, count on my words, Meg," I said and went back downstairs.
"I couldn't figure out, what do they want this time? Last time it was the Riverston project," said Alex walking back and forth.
"Alex, did you forget the Bronston's Luxury Mall project," I said.
"Hi, you didn't tell me we are going to do that," he said scolding me.
"I was but, all these things happened at once, and I had already asked Markus to get me the basic details to start the design,"
"OH!" was all he said.
"Sir I kept all the details, in your office," said Markus going back.
"My, boy, even if you hide it, I think they know Sarah is your wife," said Uncle Holland who was quiet for some time. Having all our attention on him.
"When do you have to do the bidding presentation?" asked Jonathan.
"In a month's time,"
"And where are you going to design it from,"
"I will work on this project from home, so I can keep Sarah with me," I said.
"But what about the office, they will be doubtful," said Sarah's father who worried about her daughter. He lost one and he cannot bear to lose another.
"Father, did you have any rivals or enemies in the past?" I asked him.
"Why do you ask son?"
"Hmm, because I found that Dave's accident was done purposely," I said.
"What!!!!" said both our fathers and uncle Holland.
"Yes, can you see if you know this guy?" Alex showed him a photo.
After a while, Sarah's father looked at me.
"This is Joshua Wang. He was my accountant back then," he said.
"May I know what happened to him?"
"I caught him embezzling funds from a big project and filed a lawsuit against him,"
"How much was it?" asked my father.
"More than ten million if I remember correctly,"
And I continued,
"He suicided in jail after three months. But before that, he requested one of his men to murder your son as revenge,"
Everyone was shocked, while my father tried to calm down Sarah's father I said,
"And to top, it all Ms.Wang is his daughter,"
"What!!!" said Alex.
"Do you mean that Liam and Wang are working together, for revenge and gains," said Uncle Holland.
"Yes, but we have no proof to make a connection with any of these," I said fisting my hand in a ball.

"Everyone's dinner's ready," said my mother inviting everyone.
"Mother can you prepare a try of food for me and Sarah, please,"
"Here you go son, we made both of your favorites," said Sarah's mother handing over the tray.
I let Meg join the others at the dining table while feeding Sarah and talked about her the new project and our up coming vacation.
