"So you're saying the pressure drove them crazy?" Christian commented with a grimace. A good lawyer could use that as an excuse to get them released.

"I doubt that's it. I think guilt is eating them alive," Nicholas opined.

"I agree with Nicholas. Those greedy bastards murdered a father and daughter just to steal their money," Christian said, contemplating the legal arguments and responses he could use for this situation.

"Well, in any case, let's go interrogate him. Don’t worry; I’ve already asked a doctor to be on standby in case this guy loses it and we need to sedate him," the detective said, getting to his feet.

Fortunately, Nicholas managed to convince the detective to let him join them in the interrogation room.

"You! What do you think you're doing—Ah! This is inhumane! How dare you... I’ll sue you for mistreating me like this and..." Frederick began to rant, but his words were silenced by the sound of the folders the detective threw onto the table.

    The detective laughed out loud upon hearing that."That was a good one.""What are you laughing at?" Frederick asked, irritated."Although I hate Vox and his group, I can assure you that the one good thing about them is their moral code, which prevents them from harming women and children. Therefore, he is not a suspect. The only one with a motive and who benefited from Alexandra Anderson’s death is you, isn’t it?" the detective said, frowning.Frederick frowned, realizing the detective knew this."You arrogant bastard, you killed her!" Nicholas could no longer contain himself and lunged at Frederick to punch him."You bastard, take advantage of the fact that I'm tied up! If I weren’t, I swear I would—" Frederick shouted, but was cut off by a punch to the mouth that knocked out some teeth."Stop it!" the detective yelled, standing up to separate them."Let me go! Let me at him! He took her from me!" Nicholas screamed, showing the anger he felt at that moment."Nicholas, please

    Nicholas was crying as he finished reading the letter, and when he looked up, he saw that Deborah was also shedding tears, so he immediately ran to hug her.She was his baby... his biological daughter.Alexandra had never been involved with that man, and now he realized how foolish he had been to believe Frederick’s lies. If he had ignored them, perhaps his beloved would still be alive, and they would have raised their little girl together, preventing Deborah from having the speech problems she faced.Now he felt miserable because everything that had happened was his fault."Deborah, you…" he began to speak, though he had a lump in his throat that prevented him from continuing.[She also left me a letter where she told me the truth… you’re my dad, not Frederick.] Deborah was crying with happiness because there was no blood relation with the person who had tortured her since her mother’s death. The question of why her dad hated her was gone as they weren’t related, and she no longe

    The detective immediately called one of his officers, who entered with two bags to collect the samples.“This is illegal! You’re doing this against my will!”“It’s curious that you’re making such a fuss,” the detective began. “I mean, if you’re Deborah’s biological father, why are you afraid of a simple DNA test?”“Besides, it isn’t illegal if the sample was obtained during a fight you had with Mr. Foster,” Christian pointed out with a sideways smile.“…,” Frederick gritted his teeth because their arguments were valid, but if the test was conducted, his lie would be exposed, and that meant he wouldn’t leave that cell because everything would go downhill from there.The detective noticed Frederick’s attitude, which indicated he was trying to find a way to sabotage the test, but he wouldn’t allow it.“Hey Max,” he said, looking at the officer who was putting Nicholas’s evidence into a bag. “Tell the lab that these samples are a priority because I need those results as soon as possi

    [Sir, are you okay?] Deborah asked when she noticed that the older man was staring blankly for a moment.“Eh… oh yes, sorry Deborah, I was just thinking about something.”“I understand.”“Well, the important thing is that with these papers, we’re going to put that family in jail,” the detective declared.[Thank you for your support.]“You’re welcome. On the contrary, I regret that justice is coming to you so late.”[What matters is that they will pay for their crimes.]“Yes…” he commented, and just then there was a knock on the door. “Come in.”“Debbie, love, are you here?” Jayden said as he opened the door.[Hi, love.] She greeted him, receiving a kiss.“Detective.”“Mr. Cooper.”“How was it?”“We’re on the right track.”“Excellent,” Jayden said, shaking the older man’s hand and discreetly receiving a piece of paper, which he quickly slipped into his clothes before looking at his beloved. “Well, love, let’s go— today, we’re taking the opportunity to have dinner with my p

    When Jayden’s parents came to the front door, they were surprised to see Nicholas, but welcomed him warmly.“Welcome,” Eric said, approaching to shake Nicholas’s hand.“Thank you for the invitation.”“You invited yourself,” Jayden whispered irritably.“Don’t worry, son, it’s no problem,” Samantha said playfully.“Keep annoying me and I won’t let you marry my daughter.”“But they’re already engaged,” Eric commented.“Yes, but as Deborah’s father, I can refuse the marriage if I’m not treated with respect.”[Dad.] Deborah was amused.“Dad?” the Coopers repeated.[Yes. Today I found out that I’m not Frederick’s daughter, but rather the daughter of my mom’s ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Foster.]“In a way, I’m glad things turned out this way, dear,” Samantha commented. “I couldn’t understand how your supposed father would mistreat you, but now it all makes sense.”“Hm…”“That’s why I asked to come and talk as a family since we’ll be one soon,” Nicholas said.“In that case, come in!

    The next day, for the first time, Jayden lied to Deborah, telling her he was going to work. In reality, he met with his father-in-law to go see the man; It would be easier to ask Vox to find Alexandra than to wait for Frederick to tell the truth.“You look to be in a sorry state, kid. What’s wrong?” Nicholas asked, noticing that his companion seemed a bit depressed.“It’s the first lie I’ve told Deborah, and I don’t like it. It makes me feel like I’m turning into Roger,” Jayden said, letting out a sigh.“Oh come on, Jayden, don’t be dramatic. If you were becoming like him, I’d be a stunning blonde with a large forehead,” Nicholas said, pretending to be coquettish as he flipped his short hair and blinked rapidly.“Pfft… hahaha.” Jayden couldn’t help but laugh at the poor imitation. “Thanks. I think that’s what I needed.”“You’re welcome. Now let’s get serious because we’re about to arrive.”“Yes. Don’t worry, my father gave me this card that was handed to him in case we wanted to

    “Ah… what a mess,” Brandon said, ruffling his hair. He looked to his right before smirking. “The downside is that you’ve gotten free and dangerous information, Cooper,” he added, turning to face his guests.“In that case, I think we can negotiate my silence,” Jayden said with a smirk but quickly became serious when he saw several of the men guarding them pulling out their weapons and aiming at him.“Pfft, hahaha! Good one,” Brandon said, approaching to take a glass of water that had been left on the table. “Relax, guys, it was a joke,” he instructed, making everyone return to their positions and holster their weapons. “Come on, follow me,” he ordered Jayden and Nicholas. “We’ll go to my office to talk in private.”Jayden and Nicholas stood up and followed him in silence.Upon entering, they noticed the office was luxurious. Brandon settled on a sofa, and they mirrored him by sitting on the other sofa in the room to face each other.“Now—” Brandon began, but was interrupted as a be

    Sophia was furious; her brother had betrayed her by refusing to help and, even worse, had humiliated her in front of all his subordinates by dragging her out forcefully.She cursed herself internally for running out of options… or maybe not.She remembered seeing Jayden Cooper at that place, indicating that he had gone to discuss business with her brother. This was strange; that family could get whatever they wanted. Something must have happened for them to seek out this organization for a favor.An idea came to her mind—if she played her cards right, she could cause a lot of trouble for the mute woman and maybe even make her miscarry out of anger, because that bastard Roger was ignoring her now.Discreetly, she returned to her brother’s premises to take some photos of Jayden, particularly capturing the moment when the maid was serving them drinks. She planned to edit the images to make them more amusing.“It’s time for you to see that your story will always repeat itself because

These are the reports of the current buildings for sale in the city.”“Huh… are you already looking into that?”“Well, son, your sister graduates next year, and a year is not a lot of time to start a company from scratch.”“Will it already be furnished for her?” he asked, taking the documents to read them.“Yes, that’s why I want to buy a warehouse to remodel or a vacant lot so you and your dad can work your magic to build it and make it just like Elizabeth wants.”“It’s a project I can’t wait to start,” James said excitedly.“Your little siblings are also helping me, looking into sewing stores to buy industrial

My motivation was seeing how his drawings came to life… it excited me to the point where I wanted to do the same, and as the days went by, that desire grew stronger, so I decided to make it a reality,” he said, his excitement evident in his words. “Though I also saw that Uncle did something similar by turning his sketches into beautiful jewelry, but that didn’t impress me as much.”“I see, but didn’t my dad teach you the basics of the company?”“Yes, Grandpa showed me the trade,” James said with a smile. “In fact, I’m a good appraiser, and I know how to make jewelry because Uncle also taught me the basics of jewelry design and creation.

What are you doing here?” James questioned, frowning slightly.“James… I…” Roger stammered nervously, his words catching in his throat and refusing to come out.“Are you here to apologize on behalf of your daughter?”“Something like that,” he said, finally managing to speak, though he made a face. “Would you let me talk to you?”“To me?” James asked, confused, pointing to himself. “About what?”“Can I invite you for a drink so we can talk?”“What do you want with my son?” At that moment, Roger saw his longtime rival approaching and standing next to the young man.“Jayden, please let me talk to James,” Roger pleaded.The now platinum-blonde looked confused at his rival. It was the first time Roger had called him by his name, and he could see that Roger seemed genuinely sorry and defeated.

I think whatever happened last night should have made the situation clear.”“But…”“They no longer see me as family, and they never recognized you as such, so just forget about it because it’s only the three of us, no one else.”“No…”“Cassandra, enough,” her mother scolded. “I told you yesterday not to go, and all you did was humiliate yourselves in public,” she said, looking her daughter in the eyes. “Grow up already.

He now looked at his hands, which had more wrinkles than he remembered. When had he changed so much?His once beautiful hair was now streaked with gray, his face showed his age, and he had dark circles under his dull eyes.When had he gotten so old?And why did he look like this?He was supposed to age gracefully, but that wasn’t the case... because what he saw in that mirror was a shell of the successful man he once was.He thought back to James.
