Throughout the ride from the Villa to the courthouse, Jason held onto the thoughts of anticipation that lingered in his mind. Finally, it was time to sever ties with Isabella completely, and he just couldn’t wait for everything to end before going ahead with the second phase of his plans. Henry was the only reason why he had not carried out his plans for the Palmers, and cutting ties with them entirely was the only thing he was waiting for, and that was going to take place soon. As soon as he drove into the vicinity of the courthouse, he saw the familiar white G-wagon parked in front of the building, and he recognized it at once. That was Clark’s car, he could never forget it. “They are actually here already.” He whispered to himself, and a few seconds later, he saw Isabella and Clark walking out from the back of the building with another man who looked like he was an important personality in the courthouse. The look on their faces showed signs that they were conspiring, and

The dumbfounded couple stared at Gregory as he lifted his face slowly without letting go of the smile on his face. “Hello, Greg. Is everything set?” “Yes, Young Master. We shall commence as soon as you are ready.” Gregory said with a low tone, and Jason nodded in satisfaction. “Good, that’s very good. I will be right there soon, Greg. I just need to settle a few things with my friends right here.” Jason said with a smirk on his face as he turned to look at the couple who were still thrown into a moment of bemusement and shock. “No problem at all, Young Master. I will be waiting for you inside.” Gregory looked at Clark and Isabella with so much disdain in his eyes, and then he turned slowly and walked back into the building. Clark and Isabella stared at him as he walked away until he was out of sight before they returned their gazes to Jason who was already enjoying the look on their faces. “Young Master? Why was he calling you that?” Isabella asked almost immediately, not

Jason looked at Gregory, asking if he had the right to know where the baby was, and Gregory nodded in response. “He is with me,” Jason responded calmly, and the Judge nodded with a smirk on his face with his eyes showing signs of intended mischief. “I was hoping that he was going to be present in this court hearing.” “That was not stipulated, Magistrate. There was no demand by the Judge who was supposed to preside over this case that the baby should be brought. Moreover, he is still a toddler, and would definitely have no impact in this case.” Gregory responded firmly, looking at the Magistrate with so much displeasure. Isabella rolled her eyes at Gregory, but he was so occupied with looking at Albert that he didn’t even realize that she was glaring at him. The Magistrate adjusted his glasses while he glared at Gregory who stood his ground against his intended intimidation.“I believe that as the legal representative of the Petitioner, you are supposed to inform him of some

It was obvious to Jason that the Magistrate was going to attempt to hand over the custody of the child to Isabella even without a thorough analysis of the case, and he was prepared to carry out the plans that he had in mind. He pulled out his phone from his pocket without anyone knowing, and then he operated it for a few seconds before he returned it back to his picket and adjusted himself on his seat. Gregory wanted to speak up the moment he heard the Magistrate mention that Jason had no source of income, but he decided to remain calm since Jason told him he was going to handle things if they tried to get out of hand. Isabella and Clark were already smiling victoriously and were anticipating celebrating their success while they waited to hear what the Magistrate was going to say. “I have looked at the files presented by the two parties present at this court hearing, and after thorough analysis, I would say that the evidence provided by the Petitioner is not enough to declare

Jason chuckled almost immediately, looking at Clark who turned to look at him with a frown on his face. “What is funny? Huh?” “You, Clark. You are the one who is a joke right now. Do you really think you were going to bribe your way through this one alongside your lover? I thought you were smarter than this, but clearly, you didn't take note of the signs.”“What stupid signs are you talking about? He already gave his verdict!” “You mean your verdict? He just did what you paid him to do, or maybe you are holding any of his daughters, hostage, just like you did with the Doctor.” “That’s…” Clark wanted to speak, but he had to stop the moment he remembered what Jason did to the Magistrate, and he looked at the phone he was holding, causing Jason to chuckle at once. “Don’t worry, Clark. I already have everything that I need to prove that you kidnapped the Doctor’s family. I am sure that by the time Isabella here is arrested, she will mention that you aided her in the act.” Jason
