Why are you just standing there? Won’t you help me?” Presley turned and yelled at her bodyguards, infuriated.
As the bodyguards and servants fought, Presley snuck into the villa.
She noticed the lights on the third floor were still on and rushed upstairs.
Immediately she saw Cyrus, she jerked his sleeve before he could open his mouth to talk.
“Where is my daughter? I need to see her immediately!”
With a furrowed brow, he pulled his sleeve from her grip and straightened it.
“Relax. She’s getting treated right now. You can trust that she’s safe.”
“No, I need to see her right now!”
Presley insisted, anxious to confirm that Jennifer was still alive.
Lucinda overheard the commotion outside and stepped out of her room to check what was happening.
“Mrs. Turner, when I took your daughter away, I ensured her safety and you agreed. But now, you came to the villa in the middle of the night, angry. What do you want?”
Presley seized Lucinda’s arm, desperation in her voice.
“I don’t care.

Lucinda scrunched up her face and pushed Presley away with a dissatisfied expression.

“I get that you are concerned about your daughter. But remember that you represent the entire Turner family. Do the Turners go back on their word in business? No way am I letting you take her away,” she said firmly.
Presley was momentarily stumped, unsure of how to respond to Lucinda’s words. In the end, she threw a fit.
“Well, if you won’t let me see my daughter today, then I won’t leave!” she shouted.
Just as Lucinda was about to call for the servants to see Presley out, the servant who had been taking care of Jennifer rushed out, agitated.
“Bad news! Miss Turner is not doing good!”
“What?” Presley shoved Lucinda out of the way and ran towards the room.
“How is Jennifer doing? Let me in to see her!” she demanded.
Lucinda quickly grabbed hold of Presley’s arm, preventing her from rushing into the operating room.
“You’re interrupting the treatment. If you go in now, your daughter might not make it. Do you really want to lose her forever?”
