“Please take your seats. We’ll begin by hearing from Attorney Herman Roberts,” the judge announced, adjusting his papers.“Thank you, Your Honor,” Herman said as he stood and began addressing the jury and the gallery. “First, I’d like to clarify the misunderstanding regarding my clients’ use of the Anderson name. You see, they loved Ms. Anderson so much that, to make her feel like she truly belonged to their family, they decided to adopt her surname. They wanted to create a harmonious, safe, and loving environment for her.”Deborah crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at the blatant lie.“Objection,” Christian called out, standing up.“And why is that?”“Well, I hate to interrupt your little soap opera,” Christian said sarcastically, glaring at his opponent, “but nothing you’ve said is true. This pair of lowlifes never loved Deborah. They kidnapped her, robbing her of a life with her real father, all to steal the Anderson family’s fortune. A fortune they failed to obtain when Ms.

"Well, when she requested an appointment, I reviewed her medical records and discovered that her last visit to the hospital was when she was discharged at the age of ten after the accident."That statement caused many in the courtroom to start murmuring."Silence!" the judge ordered, striking his desk with the gavel."Objection," Herman interjected with a hint of sarcasm. "This information is relevant because…?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow. "And no offense to your expertise," he added, addressing the doctor, "but there are many children without detailed medical records, and that doesn’t necessarily indicate neglect.""Perhaps my specialty is different, but as someone who studied general medicine, I know that after an accident, a patient should have at least a year of follow-up care to prevent any long-term issues that might not be immediately apparent due to swelling of muscles and organs," Dr. Martin responded, frowning. "For instance, when a child breaks an arm, they don’t

"Thank you for your testimony, doctor," the judge said, dismissing the doctor."Congratulations, my dear. I told you I’d cure you," the doctor said as he approached Deborah, taking her hands and smiling warmly. She responded with a soft thank you and a grateful smile.With that, the elderly man found a seat among the spectators to listen to the rest of the trial."Attorney Roberts, it’s your turn," the judge stated."Let’s hope it is, and that I’m not interrupted again by Attorney Collins," Herman replied, still a bit irritated."…" Christian merely smirked, crossing his arms, relishing the feeling of outmaneuvering Herman."Maybe my clients were complete idiots for not taking you to a doctor," Herman said, approaching Deborah and ignoring his clients' protests, "but they believed they were doing the right thing because your mother named them as your legal guardians.""That’s a lie," Deborah snapped, glaring at the lawyer."Order.""Deborah, calm down…" Christian urged, gently

"That's right, it was in the news. She got drunk and crashed the car with her daughter inside.""I thought she did it out of spite when she found out Frederick had kids with someone else.""Poor woman."Vanessa scowled when she heard the gossip. She hated being labeled as the mistress, especially since it wasn't true."Order in the court," the judge demanded, silencing the murmurs from the audience."First, we investigated what we had at hand," Alistair continued, setting his folder aside. "Luckily, the vehicle and the evidence collected were still intact. When we reanalyzed the car, we found that its operating system had been damaged, and the brakes were completely non-functional.""Was that damage caused by the crash?" Roberts asked skeptically."No," Alistair replied, as photos of the wreck were projected onto the screen. "Based on the way the vehicle crashed, there was no way the brakes and control panel could have been damaged in that manner."Deborah felt a lump form in h

"That’s a lie—" Frederick began to protest, standing up in an attempt to keep up his act, despite being backed into a corner."It’s true!" someone shouted from the crowd, leaping to their feet. "Now I remember you! You’re the miserable bastard who took advantage of my uncle. I couldn't find you because you changed your name and dyed your hair!" The person pointed accusingly at Frederick as they tried to push through the crowd to reach him, intent on giving him a beating."Order! Officers!" the judge called out, signaling the police in the room to restrain the person disrupting the trial."I remember you now too!" a woman shouted, pointing at Vanessa. "You’re the filthy witch who tricked my grandfather, pretending to be a nurse so you could kill him, steal his pension, his savings, and everything of value in his house. And now I see where all that stolen money went," she spat, glaring at Vanessa with disgust and hatred."That scumbag played my aunt the same way. He pretended to be h

"Objection!" Frederick stood, fists clenched."Mr. Turner, be quiet! One more outburst, and I'll have you thrown back in prison. You’re not a lawyer, so you have no right to object," the judge reprimanded him sharply.Frederick felt cornered, and he loathed it. To make matters worse, the idiot they had for a lawyer wasn’t helping at all; he was just sitting there, silently listening to everything being said about them."Don’t worry, Frederick. Even if you wanted to object, your friend has already confessed his crimes and even provided us with some very interesting information that I’d like to share with everyone here," Alistair said, pulling a voice recorder from his coat and pressing play.“Welcome to your new home, Alan—or should I keep calling you Cameron?”“Bastard! What you’re doing to me is inhumane.”“Inhumane? I think you’re confused. We’re just giving you a little lesson. The real inhuman ones are you and your little group of friends, who harmed so many innocent people f

As the tape ended, the courtroom fell silent as everyone tried to process what they had just heard."It’s worth noting that Alan Miller was kind enough to provide us with the name of that doctor. He’s currently in police custody while we conduct the necessary investigations," Alistair said.Frederick and Vanessa were terrified. That idiot really had betrayed them by spilling everything to Alistair. They could feel their victory slipping through their fingers. All their so-called friends had betrayed them, and on top of that, they were stuck with a useless lawyer who was doing nothing to help."You… you were going to do what?!" Jayden's voice broke the silence, his shout reverberating through the courtroom as he stood, fists clenched, ready to attack the bastards who had planned to destroy his fiancée and steal his child."Jayden," Deborah called, standing up as well."Jayden, calm down, please. They’re not worth it," Caroline said, rising alongside Christian and the assistant to r

Deborah’s gaze landed on the policeman standing next to the judge, and she froze. Something about him was eerily familiar. It didn’t take long for her to recognize him—he wasn’t a policeman at all. He was the bodyguard who had been with Brandon the day she was kidnapped.Realizing this, she quickly turned to scan the audience. If that man was here, then maybe he was too.“Debbie, love, what’s wrong?” Jayden asked, noticing how she had suddenly turned to look at the crowd.“Well, since there are no further questions, I believe we’ve seen enough,” the judge began, drawing everyone’s attention. “It’s clear,” he said, glaring at the defendants, “that you two are guilty.”“What?!” Vanessa exclaimed.“This trial is rigged!” Frederick shouted, jumping to his feet. “You can’t just declare that outcome yourself; it’s the jury who decides!” He pointed an accusing finger at the judge, desperately clinging to their last backup plan.“Heh, now you’re suddenly an expert on the law?” Christian

He also apologized to his little brother for being such a jerk.Even though he didn’t want to, Elliot reluctantly accepted the apologies because his wife convinced him that holding onto grudges wasn’t healthy.Unfortunately, the Peterson family only got to celebrate being united for a short period of time because two weeks after that reconciliation… George passed away of natural causes.That was a tragic moment for everyone, one that shook his friends, reminding them of how precious and short life is.

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

Extra 38: A Father’s FearsHonestly, it was a strange conversation for James, one he never thought he’d have… in fact, not even in his wildest dreams did he imagine having this kind of interaction with the man who was supposedly his biological father.After telling him a bit about his school life, James paid the bill and said goodbye to Roger, as he had to get back to the office; he didn’t want to be away from work for too long.When he entered the conference room, he saw his father talking to some other architects.“Great, we’re all set then,” Jayden said, dismissing them. “Son, how did it go?” he asked as James approached him.“Fine, but it was weird.”“So... has he started to feel his age?”“I think so,” James replied, making a face.“And what did he want?”“Well, he just started talking to me, apologizing for being absent, and now he wants us to meet up to talk because he wants to get to know me,” James said, scratching his head. “I don’t know… it seemed odd that he wants

Extra 37: A Late Talk Part 2“Wow, sorry for the confusion.”“Don’t worry about it. My family supported me, and thanks to learning the truth, I understood why we had three grandfathers.”“I imagine you became an architect because of Jayden.”“That’s right. 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. But I see that as a hobby because the only jewelry I’ve made has been for my mom, my sisters

Extra 37: A Late Talk Part 1“I’ll ask you again. 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. Jayden let out a sigh. “James, go with him.”“What?” James looked at him, surprised and confused.“Are you serious?” Roger said, a note of h

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. You lost that boy because you chased something that

Extra 36: Late Regrets Part 1Roger didn’t return home for the rest of the night. He ignored the cries of his ‘daughter’ as he headed to the nearest bar to have a drink and try to clear his mind.Seeing his father defeated and exhausted had made him stop and think.While sipping his third beer, he raised his gaze and saw his reflection in the mirror behind the bar, realizing that an old man was staring back at him... which scared him. 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. That boy had surpassed him in height; he was the version of himself Roger had always wanted to be: ta

Extra 35: Total BreakElliot was furious to see Roger and his daughter at the party.“Why did you hurt my daughter?” Roger hadn’t recognized James and just wanted to help his princess. “Who do you think you are…?” Then he saw James and, how could he not recognize him? He was Roger’s spitting image, giving the latter the same hateful look Roger himself wore.“I should ask you the same thing, sir. Who do you think you are, crashing a private event?” James asked.Roger was about to respond, but…“What’s the meaning of this?” George asked, approaching them.“Grandpa, they attacked me, and…” Cassandra started to say.“Miss, don’t call my grandpa ‘Grandpa,’” declared Howard.“Tom, call security,” Eric ordered. “Get these two out of the party.”Among the guests, a blond young man recognized Cassandra but didn’t go to help her because his parents didn’t allow it. They didn’t want to end up caught in the middle of the problem and become collateral damage, nor did they want to fall out
