Reuben and Veronica exchanged a glance together and finally getting the consent of each other, Reuben announced, "Only on one condition…"
Everyone turned their faces towards Reuben in confusion as they didn't understand what Reuben really wanted to say.
Last time looking at Veronica who had blinked her eyes at him in reassurance, Reuben stated, "We will not do anything to Regina as you said. But anything in this world never comes out of free.."
As Reuben said that their friends were quite astonished because they couldn't guess what was running in his mind exactly.
So they turned their gazes towards Veronica who was equally calm and was standing there without any trace of angry expression.
On the other side, Regina who was sobbing continuously or more like wailing loudly, stopped her tears for a few moments and looked at the couple with a new found hope in her eyes..
But the last bit of hope got eventually broken too when she heard the next statement from Reuben's mouth..
"We would let Regina go only on one condition. And the condition is that we'll reveal about your daughter's hypocrisy towards Brown family...
We will share to the media that your daughter was cheating behind Alonzo's hack so that the marriage got cancelled..
We'll not disclose about the fact of her having drugs but will definitely reveal about her wild side so that her career gets ruined. But it could only happen if Alonzo is ready as it affects his life the most." Reuben stated the last part staring at Alonzo.
Whereas Alonzo who was really happy that he didn't need to marry Regina anymore, got shocked by Reuben's statement.
He couldn't believe that Reuben would ask for his permission before taking any step against Regina, specially after how he treated both him and Veronica..
Overcoming the shock, Alonzo glanced at Regina for once and then firmly said, "I don't have any problem with this. Do whatever you want. It's none of my business or responsibility to know what is going to happen to her."
Hearing it, Regina again burst into tears as she couldn't believe that she'd be going to get ruined like this.
Crying hysterically, she pleaded to Veronica and Reuben, "Please don't do this. It will ruin my whole career. Everyone will start cursing me. My fans will start to bash me.."
Lucinda who was already fed up with Regina's drama, suddenly spurted out, "It's none of our business if your career gets ruined or not. You should've thought about it before initiating this kind of things."
Regina was about to protest when Mrs. Parker blurted out, "Yes.. We'll do as you say."
Both Veronica and Reuben nodded at her and Mrs. Parker left with her husband, pulling a still weeping Regina along with her.
Cole was about to leave too when Reuben said, "Cole, you need to stay here for few more minutes. The actual face-slap is about to begin."
Though Cole didn't understand anything but he still nodded his head and took his seat again.
But he didn't know that Reuben had only stopped him because Alonzo and his family would need his support the most few moments later..
"You have more things to say?" Mr. Brown asked.
"Yes..we do have.." This time, Veronica replied.
"So Mike, you had studied with Alex Brown five years ago, right?" Reuben asked folding his hands under his chest.
Not only Mike but also the whole Brown family except Alonzo and Myra got shocked with the mention of the name Alex.
No one knew about Alex as Mr. Brown had hidden everything about Alex from the world so well that it was quite impossible for any human being to find about it..
Mr. Brown gulped hard and asked while stammering lightly, "Al…Alex.. Who is he? Whom are you talking about?"
"Oh! So now you also forgot about Alex! Old men and their poor brains!!" Henry mocked him with a 'duh' tone.
Willa who was also present there looked directly at Mrs. Brown who was sitting there dumbfounded and asked her, "Did you also forget about him or just pretending to be?"
Before Mrs. Brown could be able to say something, Mr. Brown quickly covered it up for her and hurriedly said, "We don't know about any Alex. Whom are you exactly talking about?"
Seeing them acting all irrelevant about Alex's matter, Louis scoffed at them, "It's my first time to see parents forgetting about their own son…especially when he was a twin of Alonzo Brown.."
Both Mr. and Mrs. Brown were shell shocked when they heard Louis mentioning Alex as their own son.
Mrs. Brown's eyes welled up in tears at the mention of her dead son as she said, "He…he died five years ago. No, actually he attempted suicide."
"What if I tell you about the actual truth! What if Alex had never wanted to suicide. Instead he was forced to do so.." Veronica said looking intensely at the two person who had a terrified look on their faces.
"What!! What are you speaking? My Alex never attempted suicide but was being forced for it? But how could that be possible! Who could do this to him?" Mrs. Brown said as tears started to fall from her eyes.
Myra walked towards her mother and hugged her by shoulder to console her because the upcoming news that she was about to know, would surely shatter her to pieces...
Mr. Brown who was already in a cold sweat, tried to deny the truth by shaking his head vigorously as he said, "No...that can't be the truth. The doctor himself had declared him to be dead because of gulping too many sleeping pills."
Veronica completely ignored him and looked towards Mike who was also looking very much shocked as he kept standing on his spot without moving even a little bit.
"So Mike… What did you say to the girl in the café five years ago? That Alex had left the country for higher studies...right?" Veronica asked in a innocent filled look which was obviously a façade to cover her rage..
Mike's head immediately shot up towards Veronica and he stared at Veronica with a horrified expression as he asked in a whisper, "Who are you?"
