He really didn't see that one coming at all."What are you talking about?" The judge asked Becky's lawyer. "What do you mean by a murderer?"" Oh... didn't he tell you? Our so-called Opponent is a murderer here who went to jail. But only served 5 years and someone got out. He is a selfish ruthless murderer. So how on earth can his words be trusted? I mean...How can he even be considered valid here?" He questioned.Now all eyes have gone to Jace.

Mr Kan was speechless. How the hell did he find this information, that was probably what he was thinking about this time. But Jace was pleased at his reaction and didn't think he was stopping there."So doesn't it make sense now? Or do we go deep further?"

In the future, Stella was certain that he was probably going to be losing more than just his position and that made him happy. "Now that's more like it.

I'd like to see how many more attacks he'd be facing before his impending doom" She expressed within.*******Mr Kan stormed into his room and the first person he called was his lawyer. After his legal lawyer picked up the line he simply said "Have you see the trending news right now?""Yeah I just saw it now and was about to call you about it ..how the hell did this even happen?" He questioned in shock."Well that's how things have turned up so before we even worry about who did it and why we have to first save me from this mess.

I mean...he had managed to get someone out of a serious case before so what if he easily escapes this time again?" He questioned.Stella on the other end of the phone said "I'll make sure you don't and I'll also offer you evidence to back it up. I've been gathering cases to take him down with so I have a thing or two that could lead to his ruin. I even have evidence of a case he commited to take himself up to the political position so that should be enough to get him into some trouble" she assured.Jace nodded "Okey then"They were probably done talking about Mr Kan and how to take him down and Stella was about cutting the line when He offered to ask her."What about our parents. Do you have any information on the

But then again...we have already found all your siblings and know where they all are...but where are your parents?" She asked him."She didn't make it clear and I don't think she wrote it down. I suppose we'll have to ask her when we get the time" He said with a soft sigh.They were quiet along the road for awhile as Hana kept staring at the picture Jace had taken in his phone..he had even seen a picture of Stella he took from afar at the party and stared at Jace with a smile "You've finally found your siblings safe and sound, you must be happy about it"He smiled "Yeah, I am" he said "That's why we have to work harder to bring that man down before he goes anything to them" he insisted.They were on their way, almost getting home when Hana asked.

He hated the idea of being looked down on.At some point, he got curious and looked at Stella "Be honest with me, do you know them? Do you know that lady who was talking to you a while back?"
