Catalina and Yoana whispered to each other on the back porch. Vincent looked suspiciously at the two women. For days the two seemed to whisper often, as if they were sharing a secret. Then the two would smile at each other, even laugh together.
Vincent's instincts say that Joanna is planning something.
"You look at them ..," Vincent told Claude, who was reading the paper.
Claude lowered the newspaper and looked towards the back porch. Catty and Joanna were whispering and laughing together.
"What's wrong with both?"
"I feel like your brother is planning something."
"Vincent .. You're too much. You look agitated just because Yoan whispered to Catty?"
"No Claude .. My instinct is never wrong when it comes to your brother."
Claude laughing. "Vince .. You're nervous because we're leaving tomorrow, aren't you? I know you don't want to take your eyes off my stubborn brother. But I need you tomorrow. We're only gone for a day. The day after tomorrow, early in the morning the plane will take us back. A day Vince .. only a day."
"I'm not agitated. I just feel worried. Yoana looks suspicious."
Claude simply responded with a laugh while shaking his head.

Joanna kissed Leonard on the cheek and touched his nose. His nephew laughed happily and began reaching out with his hand asking for it in a carry.
"No Leon. Aunt Yoan is going to the office. Just one hour. Then we'll leave when Daddy Claude and your Uncle Vincent are gone."
Joanna looked at Catalina who was holding Leon.
"Don't forget to call me as soon as they're both gone."
Catalina nodded, and Joanna went into the car that a bodyguard was driving to the office building. He needs to remind his assistant a few things before he goes on vacation.
Yoan wants Catalina to go see Marylin. From Steve, Lionel's manager who was planned to do the last photo shoot with Mary, Yoana only found out that Mary was replaced by another model at the last moment. Diego reportedly went to the Lucca family residence called the Leopard mansion which turned out to be on the same island where Simon and Hamilton were.
After contacting Simon and threatening his sister to pick them up at the dock. Yoana and Catalina prepare to leave without informing Claude and Vincent.
After a while in the office and talking about everything necessary to her assistant, Yoana receives a call from Catalina.
"They've gone ?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, the car just left" Catalina said.
"alright. Wait Me. I'm home now."
Joanna hung up the phone and grinned broadly. He pressed a number on his phone again.
"Hello, Simon."
"Yes?"
"Me and Catalina and Leon are leaving soon
Don't forget to pick us up!" his orders.
"Yes, Your Majesty the queen," Simon sneered after hearing his brother's orders.
"You've prepared our room, haven't you!?"
"Why don't you just stay at our hotel...."
"I don't want to. Our beach house is more comfortable! Already yes, I'm at the office, going home to pick up Catalina first."
Joanna turned off her phone, then got up and stepped out of the room to return to Bernard's mansion.
**********
Simon waited with his arms crossed while leaning against the body of the car. Joanna approaches Catalina who is holding Leonard. Behind them was Nanny Lea and two bodyguards dragging the suitcases they were carrying.
"Would you like to take a vacation or move? Oh my God ... What do you bring!?" simon asked, looking at the number of Joanna's suitcases.
"Be quiet. Walk quickly!" his orders.
Simon opens the car door so Yoana and Catalina can get in. He himself went into the wheel.
He glanced back, where Lea and the bodyguard had already stuffed things in and had climbed into the car behind him.
"Come, Shawn, Walk ..." he told the man next to him. They drove until Catalina saw a pier where several yachts were leaning.
Simon got down and opened the car door. Joanna and Catalina are coming down.
"Yes, arrive sooner." Simon guided the two to a yacht that was tethered to the edge of the pier.
After making sure everything went up and their belongings were arranged, Simon signaled to his men for them to depart.
"Do you know where Lucca's mansion is on this island?" ask Yoan.
"Whoever knows the existence of the mansion is Yoan. It's on another part of the island. Alone with high walls and tight guard. I'm surprised there are people who feel at home living in remote places and still lock them up again with high walls."
"People who want their privacy are not disturbed" said Yoana.
"You're going to visit that guy?"
"Of course!"
"I'll come along, as will some of our bodyguards."
"As far as you are. Remember what I said, Simon. Don't let Claude and Vincent know."
Simon shrugged, then looked out at the sea.Not for long will his brother be able to hide. Vincent and Claude are coming to them soon.
**********
That morning, a heli flew low and landed in the Leopard mansion. Alric who had arrived at the mansion the night before came out of the mansion followed by Diego. The two boarded the heli and left the mansion.
After resting one night at the Bernard family's beach house, Catalina and Joanna are taken by Simon to Lucca's residence.
They were greeted by bodyguards who opened the gates after Simon gave his card. Arriving in front of the mansion, Catalina did not wait for the door to open, she opened the car door and walked very quickly towards the mansion.
"Lina!" Joanna shouted, worried about the girl's feet.The entourage had just stopped in front of the mansion.
Catalina's been greeted by a butler.
"Good morning, Miss. Can I help you?" ask the middle-aged man.
"Good morning, sir. Umm... Can I see Mr Lucca? Or Mr. Baldassare could."
The man smiled, then apologized.
"Sorry, Miss. Mr. Lucca and Mr. Baldassare have just left. They won't be back until the next three days."
With a disappointed face Catalina looked down. Joanna who had just approached heard the butler's words.
"Is there a film crew or a shooting in this mansion?" ask Yoan.
The butler nodded.
"Did a woman named Marylin Seymor who had brown blond hair and blue eyes ever come here?" ask Joanna again. The butler nodded back.
Joanna took a deep breath. He sighed at Catalina's elbow that looked sad.
"Actually where did that fool Alric take him!" cetus Joanna riled.
The butler was only speechless to hear the little lady coming over cursing at his master.
"Yes already. Tell your master he has a guest! We'll be here in three days! "
The middle-aged man simply nodded with a slight polite bow.
"Well, miss," he said.
"Come, Lina. I'll try to find Baldassare's contact. We're gonna find Marylin. Come ... Now let's go home first."
Catalina looked at the butler and muttered a saying of goodbye before turning to follow Joanna.
