"My dear fans, I know you love and want the best for . But I ask that you trust and my judgnt, just as you have always done. The decision to launch and promote this new product was made by because I see the potential in this company and its offerings.
You want to endorse already established brands, but I want to support sothing that has the potential to grow. I, too, once needed help, and there was soone who pulled out of the darkness and gave my life a new direction. I want to do the sa for others. This new company is going to be the next brand you’ll all want to try, and I believe that once the product is launched, you’ll understand my choice.

After reading the statent, Victor’s fans seed to calm down, their anger and frustration visibly dissipating.
"Grandma...." Briena started, watching the news with anger. "Why am I the one to suffer always and that Natalie escapes unhard. Why does it happen all the ti?"
Sephina called for her assistant.
"Call Ken and get so other information related Natalie’s company, sothing more useful," Sephina ordered.
The assistant made a call and he seed to hear sothing useful and passed the call to Sephina.
A wicked smirk appeared on Sephina’s lips as she hung up the call.
"What happened mother?" Clara asked, anticipating sothing good.
"Natalie just got herself into a deep shit," Sephina replied with evil grin. "A ti to remind her of her old wounds and let her know she is nobody."

Inside Justin’s office...
"So, there really is a man nad Aiden Handrix—it’s finally confird," Noah said as he placed a tablet in front of Justin. "Before, it felt like chasing the wind, as if soone was trying to ss with us. But now, we have proof. This man’s image was caught on a cara when he entered the country around the sa ti he registered his marriage with Ms. Natalie."
Justin looked at the image, which was not clear but he could feel as if he himself was caught on the cara. His eyes narrowed at the man in the image who had stepped out of the cab and was paying the driver.
"So, there really is soone who looks exactly like ," Justin comnted, his gaze narrowing at the picture.
"Initially, I thought it was you, Mr. Harper," Noah admitted. "But a year and a half ago, you were definitely not in this country, let alone in this city to register a marriage."
Justin humd thoughtfully, his eyes still fixed on the screen.
"What’s on your mind, Mr. Harper?" Noah asked, curious about his boss’s reaction.
"Is plastic surgery advanced enough now to create a face as handso as mine, down to every detail the sa?" Justin mused quietly. "I can’t let Natalie et this man, even if he is her so-called husband. For her, I should be the only handso man in existence. Even if it’s my own clone, he’s not allowed to look as handso as and get anywhere near her."
Noah was taken aback by what he had heard. ’Mr Harper, I don’t think she is your step-sister anymore.’
"I know how she looks at . She’s not allowed to look at him that way." Justin continued, his voice dropping dangerously low. "Tell our people I want that man captured as soon as possible. And don’t make have to co there personally."
Noah swallowed hard, ’No one would want you to be there personally. They would rather find that man quickly and kill him. For them, killing soone is easier than having to face the demon.’
"Did you try to find out what Natalie was doing that day?" Justin asked.
"Surprisingly any evidence of her going to the city hall to register her marriage is not there. That person must have cleared all the evidences just like he had cleared about his own whereabouts," Noah answered. "Maybe we should just ask Ms Natalie now?"
"If she knew, she wouldn’t be surprised about her own marriage," Justin comnted, "But I will ask her the record of her whereabouts that day."
"That would be truly helpful, Mr Harper. Because after that one picture, we don’t know where this man went. Everything is blank," Noah added, "Maybe through her, we might get more information of how that man managed to do all this without her even realising it."
Justin humd, only to hear Noah again. "That movie Briena Ford was featured in, won’t see the light of the day."
"Good," Justin humd in satisfaction. "Anyone who offends her, would only be seeking to go to hell and it’s just the start."

Justin returned ho. Julia had already left the city and retuned Bayford. Now that left only Justin and Natalie ho alone.
Both of them happened to arrive at the sa ti. They stepped out of the car and Natalie was surprised to see him back so early.
As they walked towards the elevator, Natalie asked, "Seems like the global CEO of Harper group lacks work in hand to arrive ho so early."
"This CEO wished to see certain soone, so he left all the work aside," Justin answered as he pressed the button of the elevator, and both stood waiting for it to arrive.
"I am afraid if you continue to push the work aside for that certain soone, the Harper group would go bankrupt and Mr CEO would be on the road," Natalie comnted, both entering the elevator.
The door closed and Justin said, "Even if this CEO is on the road, that certain soone has agreed to let be her gigolo and live off of her money."
