Tell and be killed.

"Enough with the acts, Gold Diggers" Lily jeered at the incoming guests, especially looking at Harvey. Josh on the other hand was Astonished by the beauty of Lily, blonde long hair which is not evenly cut, orange eyes with a striking look, Women-like face which shows kindness but slight arrogance. Cleo got angry at Lily for being bad at Harvey. Harvey had a guilty face after hearing Lily say that. "Where is your manners lily? Don't say that to my brother!" said Cleo. Harvey stopped his brother scolding his daughter, placed both of his arms on Cleo's shoulders, and said "Don't get angry with her. what she said was true, I was indeed treating you badly, please forgive me, Cleo, sorry for all of the insults, I never thought you would be such capable, it's all my fault, I'm sorry." Cleo removed Harvey's hands off his shoulders and said "I have always forgiven you, brother, it's not your fault, I was not good at politics at the beginning, I had no experience at all, actually it was your insults, bro, that gave motivation through anger, at first, I was so mad at you and that anger drove me to become a president, so when I think about It, if you hadn't insulted me, I would never have reached here." Harvey was relieved to hear that. Josh, Janet, and Harvey stood in front of the sofas, waiting for Cleo to sit first. Cleo on the other hand wanted Harvey's family to sit first. There was a clash of respect from each other. Lily unbothered, sat quickly. Cleo and Harvey's family sat simultaneously, without making any commotion. It was evening, the hot tea was served, kept on the teapoy, with some snacks. Cleo started the conversation, "How was your travel?"

"It's was....great. We got exhausted a bit, in the middle. Other than that, all was good" said Harvey. "How're your studies going, Josh?" asked Cleo. "Going well", said Josh nervously, like speaking to a stranger. "Do you still write poems, Janet?" asked Cleo curiously. "Ah, I stopped it years ago, but my son keeps on encouraging me to continue" replied Janet. "I'm on Josh's side, you had a knack for it, Janet," said Cleo, disappointed. "well, I would like to hear more about your daughter, Lily," said Harvey, looking at Lily then at Cleo. "Oh yes, about Lily, actually there is something I need to tell you about. The thing is...*sigh*...my connection to Lily is kept secret" said Cleo, seriously. Harvey and the rest got confused. "What do you mean?" asked Harvey, expecting an explanation. "Well, there are many reasons why I haven't revealed that I have a daughter. Being popular is not so easy, it's tough, sometimes scary, so I don't want her public/personal life to be in ruins because of me, and there are a lot of other opposing politicians and members in my party who want my position of 'president'. So if everyone finds out that I have a daughter, she might be dragged into politics, even forced to succeed me, which makes other politicians who want my position, unhappy. They might even kill her as an obstacle for my position" explained Cleo, in detail. Harvey, Josh, and Janet understood the reason. "Oh, so that's why you told me to tell only Janet and Josh that you had a daughter," said Harvey, realizing. Harvey was thinking of blackmailing his brother using this information, but Cleo knew his brother might scheme something after hearing this. "So I am asking the three of you to keep this as a secret and tell no one of this. If you tell anyone that I have a daughter, I'll kill Josh Jaggers in a blink of an eye" said Cleo, with keen eyes. Josh got shocked, scared, frightened, and worried. "what, you'll kill our son! how dare you!" raged Harvey at Cleo. "ok, to make it fair, I'll tell you something. The snacks Josh ate now had a microchip in them, the microchip is designed in such a way that it should enter his brain, from where it can kill him by damaging his nervous system" said Cleo. "but I never felt anything like a microchip while chewing" countered, Josh. "It's because it is not a normal microchip, it's microscopic, you cannot see with your naked eye," said Cleo. "but what is fair is it for us?!" asked Harvey. "The chip can easily be found out in an autopsy, and what we discussed right now is being recorded," said Cleo, having the recorder in his hands, replaying it, and handing it to one of his butlers who took it and locked it in a tiny vault, in front of all." the recorder will be locked in this vault and handed over to you, the key to this small vault will remain with me. If the boy dies, you can use all these as evidence to file a case against me, lock me, send me to jail, etc." Josh, Harvey, and Janet swore not to tell anyone of Cleo's connection with Lily. Now Harvey couldn't sabotage Cleo and Cleo couldn't sabotage Harvey. Harvey thought, what Cleo did was utter foolishness. Cleo could have not made those evidence against him, he could have cornered his brother, Harvey. Is Cleo foolish? Is he too kind? Is he a person of justice? why he's going to such heights to keep his daughter's connection to him secret? Does he love Equality? Or, is he planning something? - Questions...
