Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 952

"What did you say?" Tears streamed down Meica's face. She was completely at her wit's end. Were the Moores really planning on using her daughter as a bargaining chip?

Yousif looked on helplessly. "You and Quirina have to suffer for now, but..."

Yousif carefully looked around to make sure they will not be overheard. "Patience my dear. We still have a long way to go. One day, I'm going to make you the lady of the house and nothing can stop us from proudly living together."

"But what you ask of Quirina is too much." Meica couldn't stop her tears. The stakes were almost too high and yet there was no other way. After all, Yousif promised her. But if they lost this gamble, then she and Quirina would be left with nothing and nobody to rely on.

When Yousif saw Meica crying, he tried to console her. "Please don't cry. There's something else I need to tell you. It seems like Johan is planning to remove me as the head of the family. He thinks I'm not cut out for the role. He's requested for Flynt to come home. As you know, Flynt has been fond of me and we do not get along. Everyone knows why Johan has asked him to come back.

So, we must be prepared."

That stopped Meica's crying. She raised her head to stare at Yousif in horror. "They would act that ruthlessly?"

Yousif gently stroked her face, wiping away her tears, and nodded. "My family isn't a place where affection and righteousness thrive. It's every man for himself. Only you would believe that the world is filled with sunshine and rainbows."

The Cook family.

The next morning, the family received a phone call. Flynt was coming home.

Searlas asked his son, Haesar, to pick Flynt up from the airport. Alas when Haesar arrived at the airport, Flynt was nowhere to be seen.

The Cook family immediately made a call to Elina, but Elina had no idea where he was either.

It was night when Flynt arrived at Johan's place.

Flynt ignored everyone else. He went directly to visit with Johan and nobody knew where he went after that, not even Elina.

The atmosphere was tense at home, everyone was very anxious. Yousif did not try to help ease the situation and did not even make an effort to contact his son.

It seemed as if the Cook family had been dealt with another blow. An anonymous source had gathered evidence on the Cook family's tax evasion practices, a delicate and extremely awkward situation to be in.

Syncere never would have imagined that no one from the Moore family was willing to lend a helping hand during such a dire time.

The day Eloisa and Marianna died, he remembered seeing Yousif and Elina at the house. He wondered what happened to them.

"Have you gotten in touch with your cousin yet?" Syncere asked anxiously.

Haesar shook his head "I've tried to call, but he's not answering. Even Aunt Elina's calls went unanswered."

"What should we do?" The fire in Syncere's eyes was dim. He was so tired.

A police car stopped right in front of the entrance. Officials came in, presented their search warrant then took Lucius and Searlas into custody.

The family suffered a huge change in circumstance overnight.

Elina paced the length of her room. She knew what was happening in the Cook Family, but her hands were tied. She could not seek Johan or Yousif's help. Her only option was to wait for Flynt to come home. However, he was still nowhere to be found.

Elina was still pacing back and forth when her daughters, Cynthia and Yanora, entered the room.

"Mom."

"Mom."

Elina turned around and saw her two beautiful and dignified daughters entering the room. She hurried over to hug them.

"You guys are back!"

"Flynt couldn't come with us because he had something to do. He wanted us to let you know."
