Unexpected Love to a Lifetime of Happiness

The Markson Company

Leo

Over the past year, there have been significant challenges due to the actions of my daughter, Karen. She had developed a strong attachment to Eric, the son of Charles, which has resulted in a series of difficult situations.

Unfortunately, Karen's actions have hurt my company, placing additional responsibilities on my sons Luke and Liam including myself to mitigate the consequences of her behavior.

I couldn't fathom the idea that my darling baby girl could commit such horrendous acts, especially considering her sweet and innocent nature. It's still surreal to witness and comprehend the appalling things that Karen has inflicted on others over the years.

When people used to recount the terrible things Karen had done to them or their children, I vehemently believed they were lying, but now I'm faced with the painful truth of what my daughter has transformed into.

I was on the verge of finalizing a collaboration with F.A.C., but my daughter's disruptive actions unraveled the opportunity. She manipulated and influenced me to secure a client from the Tomaz Clothing company.

Just when things seemed to settle, she abducted Eric's new wife, leaving my professional relationships in turmoil. Now, it seems unlikely that I will be able to work with Charles's company or any other company shortly.

I wasn't aware of Karen's behavior or actions up until the day of the gala when I had a conversation with Charles. I have always known my daughter to be mischievous when it came to her brothers, but now I can see that as she has grown, so has her troublesome behavior.

I'm currently facing a difficult decision. On one hand, I have the option to protect my daughter from going to jail, even if it means risking my company's downfall.

On the other hand, I could allow my daughter to face the consequences of her actions and hope to salvage what's left of my company. It's a tough situation, and I'm weighing the potential outcomes carefully.

I've been reflecting on everything that's been happening, and I can't help but feel responsible for a lot of it. I've always put in long hours at work to ensure that my family is provided for, but I can't shake the feeling that I might have neglected them in the process.

I worry that Karen's recent behavior is a result of the attention that I failed to give her. There are so many choices and responsibilities weighing on me right now, and I'm struggling to figure out the best course of action.

The moment I received the news of Karen's arrest, my heart raced, and I immediately rushed to the police station with a sense of urgency. As I arrived at the station, my thoughts were a whirlwind of worry and confusion.

I approached the officers, eager to understand the situation and to get my daughter released as quickly as possible. However, as they explained the reason behind Karen's arrest, a wave of shock and disbelief washed over me, leaving me stunned to the core.

With the resources at my disposal and the limited influence of a CEO, I found myself unable to secure Karen's release from jail on the same day due to the severity of her actions and the uncertainty surrounding her future behavior.

It wasn't until a week had passed, and Karen appeared before the judge that I was able to pay her bail the judge had granted Karen permission to return home under house arrest until the next court hearing regarding the a*******n.

For several weeks, I have been tirelessly searching for ways to offer Karen as much support as possible. Despite the uncertainty surrounding her innocence or guilt, I firmly believed in her innocence and was committed to defending her.

The media's portrayal of F.A.C. as an unfortunate company due to the negative events involving Eric and his new wife proved to be advantageous in this entire situation. Gaining my company's numbers to increase within a month which in turn provided me with more clients until I heard that the F.A.C. was gonna have a press conference.

As my sons Luke and Liam dedicated themselves to our family company, I took on the responsibility of finding a highly skilled lawyer for Karen. I've been actively gathering evidence to demonstrate her innocence and clear her name.

When the day of the press conference finally came I sat in my chair watching the conference unfold on the television as my wife Helen and Karen watched alongside me.

As Helen fumed with anger, she uttered, "So this is the woman that stole Eric Franklin from my daughter." Despite her heated statement, I tried to stay focused on the conference proceedings. However, as the conference continued for half an hour, every word I heard further fueled my anger.

As I reflect on the situation, I realize that my initial anger stemmed from my deep belief in Karen's innocence. I held onto hope that she was not involved in the crimes she was accused of. I even suspected that another woman, Rachel, who was also implicated, had kidnapped Karen, as well as Eric's wife.

However, my perspective drastically shifted after I watched the entire press conference. It pains me to come to terms with the fact that my daughter is indeed responsible for the wrongdoing.

After the press conference concluded, I reached over and switched off the television, feeling a surge of frustration. Rising from my chair, I couldn't contain my emotions any longer. "Karen Lily Markson, what on earth have you done?" I exclaimed, my voice laced with a combination of anger and disappointment. "I had complete faith in you, but now I see that I was mistaken. Your actions have not only disgraced me and our family but have also tarnished the reputation of our company."

"I understand that you're upset, but please honey try to stay calm for my sake. Karen is the only innocent person in this situation. All she was trying to do was protect what rightfully belonged to her," my wife gently pleaded.

"Daddy you have to believe me, I'm your daughter. Rachel is the one who has a grudge against Sophia, not me," Karen cried out.

"I didn't want to believe it but your actions at the gala proved to me how much of a manipulator and such a mastermind you can be. I blame your mother for your behavior over the years," I said angrily.

I have half of my mind to send Karen to the police station to have her confess to all her crimes. However, if I do so the media will eat that up and cause my company to crumble.

I'm gonna have to play my cards right to have this huge situation go smoothly. I'm just gonna have to hire a great lawyer to defend Karen.

"Our daughter couldn't have done such a thing like that. Anyways Karen would never harm someone unless they were in her way.," Helen said with pride.

"The way you are speaking is contributing to Karen's current situation, which will hurt our company. If Karen is convicted, we could potentially lose our company," I exclaimed, my voice filled with frustration and concern.

I need to take serious action to maintain the reputation of my company and protect Karen. I also hope to ensure that the media continues to see F.A.C. in a negative light when it comes to collaborations, which will hopefully divert attention away from any attempts to harm the Markson family business.
