Rihanna's mind is occupied with a lot of thoughts, wanting to asked the doctor but the shocked won't allowed her.
Mrs. Williams stepped outside to make a call, she didn't know how people learned about her daughter in law accident, her phone has been buzzing with calls from several prominent, none cares or loves rather they hide their aim under the pretense of showing care, asking how severe the accident was, all they are after is to crumbled the unification of the two company.
The two families have become a threat to companies' possessors on the day their children got engaged, their enemies won't stop finding targeting until the unification fails.
She stepped out to make a call to josh, to stop the Press from knowing about the accident, she didn't want the public to know about the accident, for the safety of Josh and Perrie's parents.
She became worried when Josh didn't picked his call, the company shareholder's must not have access to the information of the accident, Josh's uncle might use the opportunity to start an upheaval among the shareholders. she re-dialed his number, hoping he will pick but it was the opposite.
If anything could take her mind off her worried, is for Josh to pick up his call, and instructed him to hide the information from the press or make sure is not release to the public, if they had access to it already.
Josh's enemies might used it to seize power from him, his engagement to Perrie gave him access to his inheritance, though he is a billionaire heir, but his family was able to maintained the best and riches company in Africa due to marriage of their heir with a a billionaire heiress.A heir that is not ready to do it won't have access to his inheritance.
Cassie is at the brink of death, yet her enemies won't stop until she is killed likewise, because she is the heir of a multinational company.
With worries on her face, he glanced at her phone hoping it will buzz of Josh's incoming call but contrary, she put her phone back into her bag and headed to the doctor's office.

"Ma'am, your daughter in law gave my best friends a lift on the road when her boarded car developed faulty, she helped because they are heading to the same campground for their NYSC(NATIONAL YOUTH NIGERIA CORPS"
" And how did you know, she gave your friends a lift?"She asked.
"She is my best friend ma"am, whenever one of us traveled, we tailed ourselves to the destination with calls, I called her around 1:00 pm to confirmed the remaining minutes to her destination, then she told me her car was faulty but Perrie helped, and before I hung up, I thanked Perrie on the phone myself " , She explained with tears welling In her eyelids.

" But concerning your daughter ma"am, I detected a hazardous chemical in her system, including the other injured brought in with her, they might have inhaled the chemical when they are inside the car, I suspected the chemical was mixed with the petrol they used for the car, and is the reason their car exploded, I think an investigation need to be carried out concerning the accident" Mrs Williams eyes widened, what she had suspected came true, her heart thumped rashly repeatedly, she raised an eyebrow.
"Thank you, doctor, you just confirmed my instinct true, though I have assigned one police in charge of my daughter in law protection in your hospital, I can't risk her safety, it has been confirmed that is a planned explosion, I will......."Perrie aunty slammed the door opened and walked in elegantly, she interrupted Mrs Williams conversation by her presence.
Twirling her body as she walked closer to the doctor.
" Doctor what did you mean, explosive chemicals was mixed with petrol", She asked rudely, she leaned her ears over the door, and eavesdropped on their conversation on the other side before she comes in.
Mrs. Williams and the Doctor shared a gaze before he replied to her questions.
"And who are you?" The doctor asked.
