"Hi, Shriya! When you came?" Sophia exclaimed in surprise.

"Good evening, Madam. Just now, I came. How are you, Madam?" Shriya asked Sophia.

"Shriya, I need your help. I felt of making Johson as the C.E.O. of the company. But, your boss did not listen to my words. He made Tommy the C.E.O. Now; he wanted to make Tommy the legal heir of this property. I cannot sit silently if my children lose this property. You need to do a favor for me. Would you?" Sophia requested Shriya.

"What is this, Sophia? How many times did I tell you that I would not allow others to conquer this empire? Johnson and Ava are my eyes. I will turn the situation in favor of you. Don't panic." Jack said to Sophia.

"No, not like that. I am confident that you would help me out to come away from this problem. But, I have hope that Shriya is capable of convincing your brother-in-law." Sophia said to Jack.

"Please tell me, Madam. What do I need to do?" Shriya asked Sophia.

Sophia got up from her seat. She went near the window and started looking outside.

"Shriya! I wanted to close a deal with you. In return, I need a favor from you." Sophia said to Shriya.

Jack and Shriya saw each other's faces in surprise.

"Sure, Madam. I will do my best to keep up with your belief. Please tell me. What do I need to do?" Shriya said to Sophia.

"You must become the C.E.O. of the company. In return, Johnson needs to be the legal heir of the property. Can you do it?" Sophia asked Shriya.

"Madam! I am unable to understand what you were saying? Can you repeat the words?" Shriya questioned Sophia.

"You need to enter this palace as a daughter-in-law. In return, you need to hand over this property to Johnson. That's it." Sophia said to Shriya.

"Sister! Why were you speaking like this? Have you gone mad?" Jack questioned Sophia.

Jack turned his head towards Shriya and sighed with his eyes not to agree with Sophia's condition.

Shriya is unable to believe the exciting offer that she received. But, she feared for Jack. She is confused.

"Shriya. Did you hear my words?" Sophia questioned Shriya.

"Yes, Madam! But, I think it is not possible." Shriya said to Sophia.

"Why? Did you love any other guy?" Sophia questioned Shriya.

"Nothing like that, Madam. But," Shriya stopped without speaking.

Sophia kept her hand on the head of Shriya and caressed her hair.

"Tell me, Shriya. Will you do this favor to me?" Sophia questioned Shriya.

"Madam, don't force me, please," Shriya said to Sophia.

"It's OK. I will not force you. But, I wanted to know the reason for your fear." Sophia said firmly.

"Sister. When she is not interested, why force her? Leave her. Shriya! You may go. I will speak with my sister." Jack said to Shriya.

"Madam, I am sorry for not giving any promise to you. However, I think Tommy will not agree to marry me. Please understand me." Shriya said to Sophia and left the palace.

Tears started to flow from Sophia's eyes. She lost hope of making her son a legal heir.

"Sister! What is this? Don't you have any belief in me?" Jack questioned Sophia.

Sophia laughed and went into her room.

"Oh, My God! Sophia has another plan in her mind. If I were not there, Shriya would have ruined my plans. My son Robert must conquer this property, and he must marry his lover Shriya." Jack thought of himself.

"Who is it?" Jack heard someone questioning him.

Jack turned back and saw Wilson, his brother-in-law.

Jack has a habit of calling Wilson Sir. Jack used to work as a driver to Wilson. After Wilson lost his first wife, Jack mediated with Wilson to marry his sister, Sophia.

Jack's living conditions changed after Sophia married Wilson.

Wilson gave a considerable amount to Jack and asked him to do his own business.

But, Jack and his son Robert invested that amount in gambling and lost it.

From then, Jack's eye had fallen on the property of Wilson.

"Hi, Sir! How are you?" Jack questioned Wilson.

"Fine, Jack. Have a seat." Wilson offered a seat to Jack.

"Sir, If you are angry with me, blame me. But do not speak like this, Sir." Jack replied to Wilson.

"Jack! Please don't irritate me. Have a seat. How is your business going on?" Wilson questioned Jack.

Jack sat on the floor.

"Jack! How many times did I tell you to sit beside me? It's OK. What is the purpose of your visit?" Wilson questioned Jack.

"Sir! I heard the news that Tommy became the C.E.O. Glad to hear that. But," Jack stopped a while.

"Tell me, Jack. What happened?" Wilson said to Jack.

"Sir, You have another two children. Ava and Johnson have some desires and wishes. So, please give importance to them also." Jack requested Wilson.

"Jack!" shouted Wilson.

"Sir! Please don't be angry." Jack requested Wilson.

"You may go now. I am not interested in arguing with you. But before going, I wanted to clarify one thing to you." Wilson said to Jack.

"Tommy is the emperor of this palace and the company. There is no second thought in it. I worked hard to expand the business, and I know whom to keep. No need to advise me on this." Wilson angrily shouted.

Jack stood up and turned towards the main door to leave.

"Stop, Jack!" Sophia shouted.

"Sophia! Don't drag this issue. Let him go." Wilson shouted.

"I wanted to get clarification for my doubts," Sophia shouted.

"Sophia! How many times have I told you not to speak about the business and the property?" Wilson shouted.

A car stopped in front of the house. Tommy got down from the vehicle.

"Don't speak anything in front of Tommy. Go into your room." Wilson said to Sophia.

Sophia left for her room.

"Hi, uncle. How are you?" Tommy questioned Jack.

"Fine, Tommy. What happened? You are wet." Jack asked Tommy.

"Nothing. I went to see my old friend. We enjoyed ourselves in the rain for some time. " Tommy said to Jack.

"Tommy! You need to take care of your health. Take this towel." Jack said to Tommy.

"Dad! Do not worry. I will go into my room and change my clothes. Don't go anywhere. I need to speak with you a lot." Tommy said to Wilson.
