"So what am I going to do when I get to the house?" Ethan voice carried a sense of urgency and determination. "How will I figure out the culprit?" He demanded, causing a moment of silence to hang in the air. Richardleaned back in his chair, his expression thoughtful. In the dimly lit room, the tension between them was palpable. Finally, he broke the silence, his voice steady and firm, "That will be on you. To uncover the truth, you will have to put a close look on everyone. Pretend and tag along well with everyone. This might help you get closer to finding the answers you seek."Ethan nodded, absorbing his uncle advice. Unyielding in his resolve, Ethan persisted, unable to shake his concerns about Richard well-being. "And what will happen to you? Are you going to continue being locked up in here? I need to put forward your release.""You don't have to, in fact, forward the case to court instead," he stated against the idea, his voice laced with hesitation. There was a flicker of unc

"I understand your frustration, Kingsley," she began, choosing her words carefully. "But I must express my own excitement over the cancellation of the marriage proposal. You see, I have found someone I deeply love, someone who brings me genuine happiness. As much as I empathize with your current state of mind, we both know that Ethan isn't a bad guy. Perhaps, we should reserve judgment until after the court case. Who knows what revelations may come to light."Despite her sincere efforts to persuade him, Kingsley remained unconvinced, his mind stubbornly clinging to its own narrative. Kingsley's voice brimmed with accusation as he pressed Vanessa for an answer. His eyes searched for any sign of support, but she shook her head subtly, silently negating his assumption."I am not with him," she replied softly, her voice tinged with weariness. "I am simply trying to find a way for us to live our lives in peace. Our father's silence towards all of us, including our own mother, is not her f

"What the hell did you just call me?" she demanded, her anger evident in her voice. The disbelief and offense were evident as she confronted Johnson for addressing her with such familiarity."Chill, I missed you, and I couldn't help but call you. Let's catch up later," he responded nonchalantly from the other end, unaware or dismissive of the impact of his words. Her sarcastic chuckle only served to emphasize her disdain for his lack of understanding."I think you haven't learned your lessons, can you just let me be?" she stated firmly, frustration etching itself onto her face. The weariness in her eyes reflected the repeated encounters and exasperation she felt, hoping that he would finally respect her boundaries."I am sorry for what happened, and you can believe that I have changed," he said, his voice attempting to convey sincerity. However, a sly smirk played upon his face, hinting at an ulterior motive. "I love you so much that I am willing to do everything I can to have you," h

As the courtroom fell into silence, the commanding voice of the judge resonated throughout, demanding respect and attention. All eyes turned towards the entrance, where Mr. Raymond, the accused, was being led into the room. His gaze swept across the gathered faces, searching for familiar support amidst the sea of onlookers.A sigh of relief escaped Mr. Raymond's lips as he spotted his family's unwavering presence, including the reassuring gaze of Chloe. The sight of their support offered a glimmer of hope amidst the daunting atmosphere. However, his eyes eventually locked onto Ethan, who met his gaze with a subtle signal, assuring him of his control over the situation.Mr. Raymond was then guided towards the defendant's box, a place where his fate would ultimately be decided. The two prosecutors in charge of the case took their positions, ready to present their arguments and evidence in the pursuit of justice. The weight of the pending trial hung heavily in the air, each person in the

As the tense conversation reached its climax, he made a desperate attempt to convince her of the truth. His voice trembled as he spoke, his eyes locked with hers, pleading for her to believe him. "That was a lie, nothing happened between us. I can assure you of that, please don't believe him over me this time." Despite his heartfelt words, he could sense her doubt, her silence a deafening response.Before either of them could say another word, Tai, a mutual friend, suddenly emerged from the shadows. His timely arrival seemed almost like a divine intervention, interrupting the charged atmosphere and redirecting their attention elsewhere. Tai's voice broke through the silence, a momentary respite from the tension. "The court hearing is starting now, let's go," she declared, her tone slightly distant.Claire forced a fake smile, her eyes betraying the turmoil within. Adhering to the facade, she nodded reluctantly and allowed herself to be guided away by Tai. He was left alone with his th
