“I don’t care what you did with this lowly whore! I’m asking you! Why the hell did you kick Naomi out of my house! You’ve been only at home for a week, yet you’ve already ruined a year-worth of campaign!”Jackson isn’t holding back in venting out his frustration. Morgan is now rubbing his red cheek, looking confused, still oblivious about what made his father so angry.This spoiled son doesn't know the situation and struggles of his father all this time. He doesn't understand how difficult it is to compete in the gubernatorial election independently against people who have the support of political parties.“Naomi?” Morgan mumbles with confusion.“I am only who I am today thanks to the support of the people who funded my campaign. And they all revolved around her late mother, you know that? It was her mother who paid your tuition since high school. Even for your college, she had paid everything beforehand!” Jackson explains it impatiently, with a desperate face painted by anguish.Only

- Let me take you back to approximately two hours ago, when Thomas was being taken to one of Meelwent police stations. -This is not the Drada police headquarters, only a branch office of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Meelwent.It doesn’t look too busy, because Meelwent is the district with the lowest crime rate in Drada, not a suitable place for police officers who expect to rise quickly.It is safe to say that Thomas' case has the potential to be the biggest case they will ever handle, and those police officers are certainly looking so excited right now.“Gabriel! Get out and tell everyone we just caught a big fish!”“Oh, sure!”That officer named Gabriel rushes out of the car, and runs excitedly. But then, he stops and looks back, calling his partner who is going to take Thomas out of his car.“Hey, Kevin! Be careful with that man! You never know what that guy can do in that situation!”“Just be quick!”To be treated like a big criminal, Thomas can only put o

This Lothario has always seen himself superior to Thomas who is just the son of a farmer. Of course, the mocking tone coming from Thomas enrages him.But he can’t refute it, because what Thomas said was true. Not wanting to look too embarrassed, he shows a nonchalant smile, and walks away. But…“Hey!” Thomas calls. “You’ve been so kind to bring me this food. Can’t you take off these handcuffs on my hands? How am I going to eat these French fries?”Lothario turns back. He looks so annoyed. But then again, he was told to help Thomas eat without taking off the handcuffs.He comes to Thomas, picks a piece of the French fries from its cup, and then leans his hips on the table near Thomas.“Sorry! I can’t help you with the cuff, but I can help you eat these potatoes,” he offers.Thomas scrunches his face.Lothario offers again by drawing that one stick of French fries to Thomas’ mouth. “Come on! For old time’s sake! This is the least I can do!”“I’m not that hungry,” Thomas declines.“Sigh!

He accepts Naomi’s smartphone with mixed feelings. To make things even worse for him, Jackson Mitchell has heard his shouting too.[Whom I’m talking to now?]The voice on the phone sounds heavy and dark. The fat cop’s face is now slowly painted with fear. Clearly, the Governor is upset by something.“Sir! It’s me! Reuben Webb!”[It’s you, Reuben? I bet you already know who that girl is!]“I do!”[Then, why the hell did you shout at her that way? Have you forgotten how much money Adam Saunders has poured into our police department?]“But sir! I can’t just…”[I heard it, Reuben! I heard everything you just said to her! Regardless of her situation, it’s not your place to call a respectable girl like her a noisy bitch! Want me to put an end to your career?]“Apologize, sir!”He, who previously acted tough like a man with power, is now becoming a “yes man”, only repeating “yes sir” and “understand sir” while bowing his head.However, while Jackson Mitchell is lecturing him over the phone,

Now he begins to give a serious thought about the warning Thomas left behind. He hurries back inside, and approaches Lothario.“Connor! Do you know that man earlier?” he asks.Lothario is petrified. His mind is preoccupied with the money he has just received from Thomas. Not wanting to be accused of accepting bribes, he simply shakes his head by faking an ignorant expression.Soon, Abby’s parents appear, and that office becomes a bit frenzied with their hysteria. Reuben Webb can only watch unenthusiastically, until they take their daughter home.“What issue they brought here?” Reuben Webb asks Lothario.“That girl was raped by the Governor’s son,” Lothario replies.Reuben Webb immediately scrunches his face so badly. “Another issue with the Governor?”With a fallen shoulder, he rubs his neck and his tired face. It puts him in a great dilemma, not knowing what to do with this issue. But then, after giving a brief consideration…“Just ignore it, and delete the report!” He orders before h
