"I am telling you sir, I speak the truth. Der Stolz was set ablaze, and all men onboard lost their lives." His personal assistant conveyed the message with disappointment, disgust and frustration evident on his features.

"Oh God…My ship…my oil…my billions of dollars."

Lord Baines collapsed into his chair, his once stern countenance now twisted in anguish.

Tears streamed down his face, mingling with the creases of despair etched into his skin.

His hands trembled as he clutched the edge of his desk, the weight of his losses crushed his spirit.

"My ship...destroyed," he whispered hoarsely, his voice barely audible amidst the turmoil of emotions raging within him.

"She hated the fact that a broke man like me was living in her house, married to her most beautiful daughter."Linda’s face twisted in pain. "She…she’s so cruel. How could she ensure that a newborn baby—her own grandchild—was brutally killed? My baby..." Her voice broke as tears streamed down her cheeks.Romeo gently wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. "It’s okay, love. Don’t worry about that now," he whispered, trying to soothe her. "It’s over. We’ll get through this."She let out soft sobs, but after a while, Romeo’s comforting touch calmed her.

    Joseph Schultz took a deep breath before continuing his testimony, the weight of his words heavy in the silent courtroom. “However, Your Honor,” he began, “that is not her only sin. Mrs. Davidson was also responsible for the cyber attack on NovaTech, which caused the company to lose billions of dollars. This attack led to the tragic death of Miss Chen, the CEO of NovaTech, who took her own life after the collapse of her business.” Gasps filled the room as the people listened in shock. The judge leaned forward slightly. “What evidence do you have to prove this, Mr. Schultz?” Joseph reached into his pocket and pulled out a small flash drive. “I have a voice recording, Your Honor. This recording captures Mrs. Davidson speaking with the computer experts who carried out the heist.” “Can we hear it?” the judge asked, his voice calm but firm. Joseph nodded and handed the flash drive to a court officer, who inserted it into a laptop. Moments later, the sound of Mrs. Davidson’s voice fill

"Not guilty, Your Honor. I deny all these charges."Mrs. Davidson’s eyes flashed with anger as she raised her voice, refusing to stay calm in this matter. Her hands were clenched at the sides of the podium, her knuckles were white with tension."These accusations are absurd!" she spat, her voice was venomous. "I have worked my whole life to build my company from the ground up. I would never stoop to murder, corruption, or coercion! This is nothing but a disgusting attempt to ruin my reputation!"Her words echoed through the courtroom, and people shifted in their seats, taken aback by her sudden aggression."Y

    Two black bullet proof SUV vehicles pulled up in front of the hospital were Helen was. The doors opened, and General Romeo Stormbreaker stepped out. He didn’t wait for his security detail. His mind was only on Helen. He rushed toward the emergency department, with his military boots hitting the ground fast and hard.Without his usual moustache, the citizens nearby didn’t recognize him. Some glanced at him, confused by his familiar face, but they didn’t know who he was. Romeo ignored them and hurried through the hospital’s front doors, his eyes were scanning the area.“Where is the emergency department?” he asked the receptionist, his voice was tense.“Down the hall, first door to the left,” she quickly replied.Romeo followed her directions, walking fast. As he reached the entrance of the ward, he saw Helen’s mother, father, and sister waiting in the corner. They looked nervous, pacing back and forth.

Linda’s eyebrows furrowed, her eyes were questioning their sudden appearance.“Madam Linda,” one of the soldiers said firmly, “your presence is needed in the celebration hall.”Her confusion deepened. “What happened? Why is my presence needed? I just left there a few moments ago.”The soldier straightened. “Those are General Stormbreaker’s orders.”Linda’s eyes widened in disbelief. “General Stormbreaker?” she repeated, her heart skipping a beat.“Yes, madam.

    Joseph Schultz gave a nervous laugh and quickly waved his hands. “Come on, boss. Don’t give me that look, I’m just kidding.”Mrs. Davidson frowned. “Are you mocking me?” she asked sharply, as her eyes narrowed.“No, no,” Joseph replied, shaking his head. “Come on, Mrs. Davidson, don’t take this too seriously. There’s no way that trash ex-son-in-law of yours is anything important, now or in the future.”Mrs. Davidson's gaze softened slightly, but her voice remained cold. “You’re very lucky you’re not mocking me,” she warned, as her tone was full of danger. “If you were, you’d be met with bitter consequences.”She brushed past him and moved toward the crowd, who were once again celebrating as if nothing had happened.Meanwhile, Linda slipped away quietly, her mind was spinning after everything that had happened. She headed up the stairs to her room, still inside the mansion, her footsteps were slow and heavy.When she reached her room, she closed the door behind her and leaned against i
