Outside the Police station.
Josh's laughter came out of the blue and Tiana merely stood and stared at him.
After laughing for a long time, he stopped and spoke, "Tiana, that was f*cking cool! You're so ugly and couldn't do anything well, but who would have imagined that you could be so fierce? No man would dare to marry a woman like you."
Josh had always had a sharp tongue, so Tiana merely lowered her eyes and remained silent as he spoke.
Josh couldn't care less, if she was angry about what he said and continued, "It's all because of you. You wasted my time, I planned to spend a night with Lulu, and you ruined it, take a cab back by yourself. Your bonus for this month will be halved!"
After saying this, he got into the car and left.
Tiana stood rooted to the spot for a while before she made her way to the nearby bus station with a heavy heart.
Less than five minutes after she left, a luxurious Aston Martin pulled over in the parking lot of the police station.
Austin was seated in the back and, his assistant, Joseph Davis, got out to open the door for him, "Mr. Taylor, do you want to go in and have a look?"
"That's unnecessary, go in and tell her we'll let her off the hook this time, but she won't have it easy if it happens again." Austin coldly ordered.
Joseph nodded and headed for the police station.
As Austin watched him go, he couldn't help but feel frustrated at the thought of how pathetic Tiana looked.
"Tiana, you've always been wild and unruly, haven't you? Money meant nothing to you and you were the one who wanted to leave me without a penny to your name. Why can't you f*cking live a better life? Why are you a waitress now and even landed yourself in such a pathetic state?", Austin lit up a cigarette while being in these thoughts. After he took a puff, he saw Joseph come out of the police station.
"Mr. Taylor, someone took Madam away," he reported.
"Someone took her away? Who? Was it Ethan?" Austin fired out three questions in a row, but Joseph shook his head and replied, "No, it's Josh Reed!"
"Josh Reed? Haha!" Austin sneered.
Josh and Ethan were close friends and judging from how quickly he came to rescue Tiana, it wasn't hard for Austin to tell how much Tiana meant to Ethan.
He then crushed the cigarette butt in his palms fiercely without caring for the pain, and said, "Let's go!",
On another side.
Tiana waited at the bus stop for half an hour before a bus arrived. When she arrived home, her uncle, Thomas, was watching TV in the living room.
Seeing the state of the mess she was in, he exclaimed in shock, "Tiana, what happened to you?"
"I met that b*tch!" Tiana replied to her uncle truthfully.
"Tiana, you shouldn't have come back! You should have stayed with Ethan." Her uncle spoke with concern.
"Uncle, I can't possibly stay by Ethan's side all the time. I can't implicate him with my status, besides, you're in poor health and I'm worried about you." Tiana calmly answered as she cared about her most, no matter what happened.
"It's all my fault. I'm getting older day by day and being an inconvenience to you," Thomas sighed.
"It's okay, I won't remain in Fetillo for long.
Golden Age Group expanded their operations and started a new company in Axtin, so I may be transferred to work there in the future. When the time comes, we'll leave Fetillo and will never have to meet those b*tches again.
Tian answered with her anger lacing voice when Rose's image flashed in her head.
Meanwhile,
Rose had arrived at the Cook family's residence, hurriedly getting out of the car and entering the living room. "Mom, I'm back!" she yelled.
Debi Jones, who was sitting in the living room, looked up. She was utterly stunned when she saw Rose's tousled hair and soiled dress. "What happened?" she probed.
"Let's talk upstairs," Rose replied as she took one glance at the helper who was in the living room.
She then held Debi's hand and led her upstairs. After closing the door, she immediately said, "Mom, Tiana is back. What should we do?".
"What? Tiana is back? Really?" Debi was taken aback by her daughter's words.
"It's true, I ran into her at the party tonight. She's pretty down trodden and is actually working as a waitress at the party", Rose then told Debi about everything that had happened tonight.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you provoke her now?" Debi chided.
"I have to. Mom, think about it. Why did this b*tch appears now when she was missing for the past three years?" Rose retorted with an angry look on her face.
"She must have appeared deliberately because she knew that I was about to be engaged to Austin," Rose spoke while gritting her teeth.
"Is that so?" Debi asked.
"It must be the case. She must be indignant that I snatched Austin away from her. I'm worried that she'll look for Austin, so it's better for me to take action first." Rose answered her mom's question with a low tone as if fear of losing Austin, which she doesn't want to get.
"That's a good idea, but your dad, he misses that b*tch. If he knew that she's back, he would go to find her and that'll be troublesome," Debi annoyingly announced.
"That's why you need to come up with a solution quickly." Rose retorted back to her mother like a desperate child, who needed candy.
"I'll think about it, your father should never announce his relationship to her to the public," Debi warned resentfully.
After talking to each other Debi excused herself from the room, and Rose headed toward the bathroom, after taking a long bath, and changing her clothes after doing it, she went for sleeping with her evil thoughts about how to keep Tiana and Austin apart from each other.
