Still in his office at Oscorp, Charles sat behind his desk, his face etched with concern as he gazed at the city skyline through the towering glass windows.

Suddenly, Charles picked up his phone and dialed her number. He could feel his heart pounding as he spoke, “Norah, could you come to my office please? It’s urgent.”

Norah, intrigued by the urgency in Charles’s voice, swiftly made her way to his office. As she entered, she noted the tension in the room. “What’s going on?” she inquired.

Charles leaned forward, his voice hushed. “Norah, my mother, Selena, just called. She’s on her way to the city, and she’s in a state of panic. She’s seen some horrible lies about us and the company in the news, and now she’s convinced it’s the end of the world."

He leaned back in his chair, taking a deep breath, as he was joined by the two people who meant the most to him in this relentless pursuit – his wife, Norah, and the private detectives he had hired to uncover the truth.The culprits of Selena’s abduction two days ago, caught in a smart police operation planned by Charles himself, had revealed a shocking revelation. They admitted to working for a man named Jerry Smith. But the most unsettling piece of information was the clue that Jerry was connected to a prominent family, and Charles had no doubt in his mind – it had to be the Adams family.

We’re not responsible for the rumors and strings being pulled against you.”Norah, though disappointed by the lack of a clearer admission, pressed on, “Arnold, if it’s not your family, then who else could be behind this? I need to find the truth, for both our sakes you see.”Arnold, seemingly unwilling to provide more information, clenched his jaw. “I don’t know, Norah. Maybe someone who doesn’t believe justice was served to us.” He said, with a smirk appearing on his lips.As the conversation reached a stage, Norah sensed the limits of Arnold’s willingness to cooperate.
