"Damn it!" Justin punched the wall beside him.Joseph stood in place, feeling awkward as he watched Justin's violent outburst. "Justin, shall I give you some space to calm down?""Go away," Justin bit out. "I don't want to see you or Arthur right now!"Joseph left wordlessly, unsure what to make of the fight earlier.…After being discharged from the hospital, Serena told the others she had to swing by the police precinct. Lauren offered immediately, "I can come with you.""It's alright, you don't have to," Serena replied.Wilson stepped forward. "I can go with her."Serena nodded. "Mr. Quade can come with me. You guys should probably head home."The others left, their expressions unreadable.Lauren muttered under her breath, "It's normal for them to want to spend time with one another, given it's the start of their relationship. Rina isn't the type to turn on her friends the moment she hooks up with a guy. As her friend, I shall respect her and wish her all the best…"After

The Cullinan sped down the road, and it didn't take long before it pulled up outside the police precinct.When Serena had given the police her statement, Wilson offered to give her a lift home. Before leaving, she asked the police officer on duty about her assailants.The officer's brows furrowed. "As this case involves illegal cross-border activities, it'll be hard for us to intervene with Westeros jurisdiction. But we should be able to weed out those operating in the country."Serena pressed, "The one who goes by 'Whistle'—did he ever mention why he kidnapped me in the first place?""His actual name is Thomas Garcia. He might look like your run-of-the-mill hooligan, but he's tight-lipped. We haven't gotten him to crack yet. All he said about you was that you had a pretty face, and he thought you might fetch a good price," the officer informed."Can I see him?" Serena asked."Uh…" The officer glanced at Wilson, then shook his head. "He's not in a state for visitors right now."

Candice's knees nearly caved in under her weight when she heard Justin's words, but she willed herself to remain upright. She would not break now, not even when the truth was precariously close to being revealed.She frowned as she turned and said, "I vaguely recall being classmates with Thomas Garcia. I might be mistaken, but he was a troublemaker who couldn't keep up with his studies."I did well in high school and did not usually hang around such questionable company. I could ask my old friends about Thomas if you'd like to look into him, Justin."Justin stared at Candice evenly as if checking for the slightest crack in her expression. She met his gaze, and her eyes widened by a fraction. "Why are you looking at me like that, Justin?"Justin was about to answer when the sound of approaching footsteps cut him off. Wilson was heading in their direction, his long strides eating up the short distance. Upon seeing him, Justin scowled and demanded, "What is he doing here?"Mollie's f

Justin called Zane immediately after he left the hospital and had the latter look into Candice's relationship with Thomas. He wasn't so stupid as to believe Wilson had shown up at the hospital for nothing.Wilson must have discovered that there was more to Candice and Thomas than she claimed. Ten to one, she had something to do with the trafficking case.Justin was pulled out of his thoughts when his phone rang. Seeing Jenna's name flashing on the screen, he answered the call. "Mom, if you're calling me so you can speak up for Candice, don't bother."Jenna was as overbearing as usual as she said, "I know you don't like Candice and that there is a good chance she was involved in the abduction, but the child she's carrying will be our utmost priority. Do you understand?""And what if she was part of the abduction?" Justin asked."Then you'll have to wait until after she's delivered the baby before you do anything to her," Jenna said matter-of-factly.A dull ache worked its way to J

Damian and Justin eased into casual conversation. As the latter's expression softened, he leaned into the couch and asked, "How's the studio coming along?""It's alright. We're making good progress," Damian answered."Hmm… If I remember correctly, you majored in finance while you were abroad, right?" Justin lit a cigarette. "Why did you switch to information technology after that?""I have no interest in finance." Damian lowered his gaze, hiding the dark look that flashed in his eyes. "Nor any talent, for that matter.""Too bad. You're a bright kid. If you'd followed through with finance, you could manage Farrow Corporation with me," Justin pointed out."Nah, you run a tight ship at Farrow Corporation, and that's good enough," Damian said with a courteous smile. "I'm going to use the restroom."He left the lounge, his gaze devoid of warmth. He had only just exited the restroom when he heard voices coming from the adjacent stairwell.Lila was talking to a woman with heavy makeup.
