When Onita saw Hu Ge holding her daughter,she wanted to rush forward and snatch her away.How dare he!But Neil stopped her from charging ahead.On the screen they saw that Hu Ge had wished her a goodbye and Alicia was now coming out with the director.Neil turned to Min Min and thanking her furiously,asked her to not share with anyone what she had told them.Seeing Neil,Alicia gave a big squeal,ran and jumped into his arms ignoring Onita who was standing next to him.Smiling at her daughter's obvious favoritism,Onita just kissed her on the forehead and turned to confront the director.But she was again stopped by Neil.

Saying nothing,he interlocked their fingers as if they were a loving couple and pulled her out of the daycare.Onita then knew that she could never understand Neil Long.Because that man did nothing without a reason.And his mind worked faster than light!He must already have thought of something.Quietly she was escorted into the car and Alicia was belted into the car seat at the back.Going around the car,she thought that Neil was going to drive them away,but instead he went ahead and stood near the door of the day care.About 10 minutes later,Hu Ge came out of the door and turned towards his car however before he could get in he was stopped by Neil.

​​

His expression turned to shock for a minute before he composed himself.After all he had waited a sufficient time and they should have left by then.Looking at Neil Long arrogantly,he asked in a cold voice,"Mr Long.What is the meaning of this?Are you following me?"

Neil just laughed and said,"Come on Mr Hu.You are a smart man.We both know you have no business being here in the daycare.And yet you have been coming here regularly.I want to know your motivation.If you knew where Onita and Alicia have been all this while why did you not try to approach them earlier?What is the meaning of this cat and mouse game."

Hu Ge just sighed and said nothing at first.Then with a curt,"Tomorrow at 7.30,Presidential Suite,Hotel Imperial."

"I need the answers today.The hearing is tomorrow."

"The hearing will be postponed.See you then."With that,getting into his car,Hu Ge drove away.

Hu Ge who drove away as if the hounds of hell were on his tail was currently suffering a major headache.Once a fair distance away,he made a call and spoke before anyone could say anything,"You were right!Neil Long is way too smart.He has worked faster than I could have even thought of.Sigh!I will have to clear the truth tomorrow.Thank You Lawyer Zheng for guiding Onita Dew towards Neil Long."

Lawyer Zheng laughed at the way Hu Ge called to thank her.She thought back to how Hu Ge approached her to take Onita Dew's case free of cost.He had wanted Onita to fight the custody case.Zheng had been excited to take the case until she realized that the person sitting in front of her was the person who was supposed to lose.What was the point in filing for custody if you wanted to lose.But once she had understood the intricacies of the case,she had suggested that Hu Ge take his case to Neil Long.Because only Neil Long had the power to win the case with or without help.Hu Ge had been hesitant to approach Neil Long so he had asked Lawyer Zhang to convince Onita Dew and it had worked!

Yes,It was Hu Ge who had planned the entire fiasco.On the one hand he filed a case to get custody of Little Alicia and on the other hand guided Onita towards Neil Long to help her win the case.The biggest reasonLawyer Zheng had passed Neil Long's card was on Hu Ge's instructions.

Neil went back to the car with a thoughtful frown on his face.His instincts were screaming at him that there was something fishy about the whole thing.As he had looked at Hu Ge,whether it was now or earlier at the Hotel,he had not detected any malacious intent in his eyes.Not like Elder Hu's whose eyes proved his greed.This man was way too smart and a cunning enemy.They needed to be careful.And what did he mean that tomorrow's hearing would be postponed?Had Hu guessed Neil's intentions?Just as he was about to make a call,to search the truth,his cell phone rang.It was his informer from the court who excitedly relayed the news,"Sir,the judge presiding over your case in the family court has been suspended.There are multiple charges of corruption and bribery against him from past cases.And since the charge are going to take time to investigate,all his cases will be transferred to other judges.That means until the schedule of other judges are cleared or a new judge is allotted,your case had been postponed for a fortnight at the very least.You will be getting a notice soon."

Neil heard the news quietly with a blank expression and then went to sit in his car where Onita and Alicia were waiting.Onita could see that there was something worrying Neil.Just what had that Hu Ge told him?Before she could question him,he dropped a bomb on her with his next words,"Hu Ge has been helping you behind the scene.It seems he does not want Alicia's curtody..Nobody knows the reason.He has invited us tomorrow for the answers.The court hearing has been delayed..."

Onita:".."
