John said while staring intently into Odell’s eyes, “No matter how many children Caprice and Liam bear in the future, at least one of them has to take up the Stockton name.” Sherry did not seem like she had anything to say about that. She was not concerned about how many children Caprice would bear with Liam or what surname their children would take up. Regardless, this was not an outrageous condition coming from John. Perhaps this was one of those things men could relate to better since after a brief silence, thus it was Odell who agreed, “Alright.” Sylvia smiled and announced gladly, “What about next Saturday? It will be a fine day for Caprice and Liam to officially get engaged.” Sherry nodded her approval. “Sure.” John offered, “We will host the engagement ceremony at my place.” Odell had no qualms about that. “Sure.” Sylvia asked, “Does that mean that you two will be handling the entire procession?” Sherry spoke, “Yes, I'll discuss it with Caprice’s gran

The middle-aged man and the others who crowded around the trio fell silent. It seemed like they had formed the connection and understood who was behind all that had gone down. They began pleading even more fervently this time, “Please, Master Stockton, Mrs. Stockton, Miss Stockton, you must do something for us! Words can’t express how apologetic we are!” "Please have mercy on us, we weren't even there when everything happened! We have already severely punished our children for their nasty behavior!” "Please give us at least another chance. I’ve worked my entire life to build everything I have today. You can’t ruin me just because of something I wasn’t a part of! Please!" The man who said this dropped to his knees. Having never seen such a display before, Caprice faltered backward. More students were crowded around now, drawn by the commotion. At one point, Caprice heard Lana's voice."Huh? Isn't that Caprice? What happened over here?” Caprice frowned as she addressed th

"Caprice has been the daughter of the richest family in Glanchester this entire time?!” Kenneth expressed in disbelief. Jonathan commented uncertainly, “It does seem that way, doesn’t it?” Moses pursed his lips and stayed silent. With the dramatic collapse of VV Entertainment and everything that transpired overnight, they heard some rumors going around. Word was that Heather Manson had spelled her family’s demise by pissing off the Stocktons when she picked on their daughter. Some of Heather's friends were involved as well, and their families ended up no better for it. One of the people who begged for Caprice’s forgiveness just now was someone Moses and Kenneth had worked with briefly. Based on what they knew, this person managed to find out that Caprice was enrolled in Sparkrow University and had made the trip here to beg for forgiveness in person. This was the reason they were here at all. They wanted to see for themselves just who the supposed daughter of the ri

Freya, Lana, and Piper gladly accepted her invitation. After they wrapped up their conversation, Caprice logged on to the campus forum. She wanted to see how the situation was developing. To her surprise, she was unable to access the forum. A message popped up that said the system was currently undergoing maintenance. Meanwhile, she received a text Piper forwarded to her. Since she was one of the committees of one of the social clubs at the university, she had received a notice the university officials issued to all the committee members. The forwarded message read: “What happened this afternoon outside the dormitory this afternoon is a matter of privacy. I hope the students will respect the privacy of the involved student and not spread the information online. Please do your part in passing this message on to your friends.” Caprice heaved a sigh of relief. There was no chance they could hope to stop the rumors from circulating on the campus, but knowing that it was n

Freya seemed like she was going to object when Piper stepped in. “Freya, let Caprice show us around if she wants. This place is huge, and there have to be a lot of interesting spots that only she knows about. It’s been a long time since I last came here, and I want to check the place out.” Freya smiled and obliged, "Okay." Lana cautiously took out her phone and asked, “Can I take pictures?” Caprice smiled. “If you’d like.” … After a short drive, they arrived at the house at last. Caprice led them into her courtyard. Madam Stockton must have heard them arriving as she had one of the housemaids walk her outside to greet them. "Caprice!" the old lady cried out shrilly. "Grandma!" Caprice chirped after her, then she ran up to her to give her a big hug. Piper, Freya, and Lana approached and greeted Madam Stockton politely. Madam Stockton was a wonderful host, and she quickly invited them inside. With that, everyone stepped into the living room. Madam S
