'I told you, we should have killed that jinx in the bud. See, she brought doom even after the death. She would never leave our back until we are completely ruined.'

After blurting out everything, Maisie realized she gave out her real face at the provocation. Her eyes widened when she saw the two in front of them were controlling their anger.

She frantically looked back at the kitchen where the maids were hiding and also waiting for her orders if anything needed to be served. "What the f**k are you guys doing inside? Come out and save us. They are going to beat us."

That's exactly the reason Megan and Jordan were silent. The two maids came out and stood with their heads down.

The assistant instructed the two women to get closer, "Collect your payments."

Maisie and Shane were even more shocked when they saw their maids collect the envelopes and bow to Jordan and Megan. The assistant added more words, "Join the work from tomorrow." They were going to work as a cleaning and kitchen staff in one of Rivas subsidiary company with a higher payment.

Were they thinking Megan was easy? If the daughter of the family can't be the daughter, Megan thought, wouldn't it be good for the Master and Madam of the family to become maids and helpers in their own house?

The assistant had met those maids yesterday.

Even if they want the maids, Megan and Jordan were going to cut off all the sources of income from them. About Hayden helping his son and daughter-in-law, they will see how it goes in the coming days.

The maids left, taking their packed luggage. Similarly, a gardener was also sent.

Jordan stood up holding his cane, "Who are you going to call for help?" He questioned with a sinister smile on his face. If that woman and man could be so audacious in front of them, they couldn't imagine what Ava had suffered.

Jordan swung the cane and lashed on Shane Kelly's arm. Shane cried in agony but didn't have time to recover. Jordan struck again on the other side, each time increasing his strength.

When he hadn't accepted Aarvi, he still had beaten the man who hugged Aarvi in the hospital. When Aarvi was his granddaughter-in-law and knew these pieces of scum had treated her brutally, why would he hold himself back?

The villa was filled with the painful groans of the man. The assistant closed the main door to avoid too much attention.

Meantime, Maisie was scared to death imagining those same strikes on her body, creating the bruise. She was trembling when trying to speak and her gaze landed on Megan. Her breathing was rugged looking at Megan's smile at her. The fear gripped her throat and her hands flew to her mouth as tears rolled out without understanding why things were changing so drastically in her life.

Jordan stopped to catch a breath, after all, he is old. He knew why Shane didn't fight back. Shane assumed Jordan might not attack him after beating him. If he attacked Jordan in defense, his bodyguard's one strike would be enough to make him handicapped for the lifetime.

The main door of the villa opened and a young man walked in. He was in casual wear, lazily walking in like a true young master of the family. There were no worries or tension on his face. It was like he came out for a stroll.

Shane was in pain so he didn't notice, Maisie who saw him run up to him hurried, "Zain, Zain.. Help us... They have beaten your uncle, they want to kill us. Zain, please do something." She desperately shook Zain's arm.

Zain shrugged his hand harder that caused Maisie to lose balance and fell on the floor. He wanted to laugh at her face. The woman who was trying to get rid of him from the family tree so that he doesn't inherit anything from the Kelly family was acting pitiful and begging him when in trouble.

He lost count of how many times she had accused him of things he hadn't even known. She had gone as far as to tell Zain poisoned Jose Kelly when Zain was on a mission in a different country.

Talk about shamelessness.

Megan and Jordan had witnessed everything. They could guess, Shawn must have told him. Zain nodded at Jordan and flashed a polite smile at Megan as a greeting.

Maisie, who witnessed it, gasped loudly, "Is this all you're doing?"

Zain half shrugged his shoulders and completed the lines Maisie wanted to say, "Oh yeah, I want the whole Kelly assets for myself." If he says the same in front of Hayden, the old man would die peacefully.

Zain chose the couch opposite Megan and Shane. Instead of sitting on the couch, he climbed on it and sat on the headrest. He pulled a lollipop from his pocket, lazily unwrapped it, and popped it to his mouth.

Confusion flashed in his eyes, "Am I late?"

Megan concluded she likes Zain. She just chuckled in response.historical

Zain pretended to remember something, "Oh, I remember, these two cursed my little sister every day. May I know who you picked after her?" He hadn't stepped into the villa after Aarvi left that place.

Maisie and Shane froze recalling how they had treated Ava Kelly. They could only wish, Ava Kelly hadn't said anything to Zain.

Well, their wish came true. Ava Kelly never told anything to anybody. Aarvi had shared very very few incidents with Aaron.

Megan pretended to be unknown, "Little sister? You mean an adapted girl?"

Zain had expected that. He turned to Shane and Maisie and asked, "Did you two tell that?" He mused in amusement, "Are you ashamed to tell you two fooled around, got married because of pregnancy, and tried to kill my little sister numerous times?" Then he smiled in understanding, "Ahh.. It's alright, I understand."

Jordan and Megan realized where the hatred for their daughter started. Jordan struck Shane as he cursed, "You should have been impotent. You don't deserve a child."

"And you!" He looked at Maisie crouched down in fear of pain, "You are a stain to be called as a woman."

All the while Maisie didn't earn any hit that made her fear reaching the roof.

Jordan ordered his assistant to invalidate the share papers to cut off the source of income. They didn't touch outlets which they will have to sell once the income tax department ceases them.

Zain wasn't satisfied yet. Even though both Shane and Maisie are selfish people, Shane avoided Ava Kelly, he probably would have come around as she was his blood but Maisie was the one who always cursed him and scolded him which started increasing his dislike towards Ava Kelly.

Even though Shane used to hit Ava, it was just a drop in the sea. Maisie was the one who made Ava's life a living hell, yet Maisie never let Ava live in hell. When everyone lived a life, Ava Kelly suffered her life.

Shawn had some work at Rivas Industries, sending an invitation for Leon and leaking its news. Hence he was a little late. He grimly entered the villa and asked annoyingly, "Grandfather, Mom, why are you here? Do you know this is the house of My Little heart? These two had hit and cursed Little Heart when that spineless man ran away with another woman."

Shane and Maisie wanted to cough blood and die there. They know Shawn always addressed Ava as Little Heart, they had tried to know if they love each other but Ava had told them, he is like her brother. Without giving up, they scolded her for assuming herself and asked how Shawn treats her. She had emphasized to them that he treated her like a little sister. Hence they matchmake her with another man.

Zain shook his head, "You should learn acting from your sister-in-law." Shawn chuckled as both fists punched before Shawn sat on the arm of the chair.

Maisie was thinking of taking the backing from their Burnette family. First, she wanted to teach Zain a lesson and get out of the situation. She also wanted to slander Megan as attacking Rivas with her power was practically useless.

But she didn't know they weren't leaving yet. The main show is yet to begin.
