How did they do that?”Charles leaned in slightly, his voice lowering. “They planned the surprise party for us, hoping to catch us off guard and create misunderstandings between us. But, luckily, I found out about it and managed to avoid the trap.”Norah’s eyes widened with surprise. “That’s quite cunning. But why would they want to do that?” she asked.“Well you know Emma is always jealous of our relationship,” Charles explained. “Obviously she didn’t handle the divorce well, and seeing us happy together after that seemed to bother her.”Nora

The scent of brewed coffee and a breakfast of bacon and eggs filled the air as they gathered around the beautifully carved mahogany table.Emma, her delicate features framed by a length of dark hair, wore a troubled expression that was hard to miss. She glanced across the table at her brother, Michael, whose arrogance was matched only by his confidence. Emma knew he was the source of her current woes.With a sigh, Emma turned her attention to her mother. Mrs. Adams, impeccably dressed, her sharp eyes betraying a cunning intellect.

As Norah braced herself for the conversation with Mary Adams, her phone buzzed with an incoming call.

Why the sudden change of plans?”Charles, in a hurry, replied, “I can’t tell you over the phone. Just trust me on this, Norah. Come home.”The mystery surrounding the situation deepened, leaving Norah torn between the mission she had embarked on and the mysterious revela

Arnold’s eyes betrayed his sense of guilt, and after a brief pause, he retorted, “Legal or not, it doesn’t change anything. 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. She knew that extracting the truth from the difficult situation surrounding their family would require more persistence and strategic moves.Thinking of Arnold’s sharp reaction to the mention of his family, Norah seized on the sentimental opportunity, and pushed further. “Arnold, maybe it’s your

Norah stood outside the prison facility, frustration drawn across her features. Determined to speak with Arnold Adams alone, she turned to the bodyguard at her side, "Wait outside. I'll talk to Arnold myself.”The bodyguard, unmoved, shook his head. “I’m sorry, ma’am, but my orders are to follow you everywhere. It’s for your safety.”Norah, unbelieving, tried to reason with him. “This is a prison, not a war zone. I need to do this alone, please.”The bodyguard, apologetic yet serious, replied, “I understand, but your husband insisted on this, and I have to do my job, ma’am.”Determination across her face, she turned to the bodyguard by her side. “I appreciate that, but I need to talk to Arnold alone. Please wait outside.”The bodyguard, firm in his duty, shook his head. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Griffins. Your husband instructed me to accompany you inside and everywhere, no matter what you say. I can’t deviate from my orders.”Disbelief reflected in Norah’s eyes. “Charles told you to follow me

We want to understand why our names are being dragged through the mud, why your family is spreading scandalous stories about us, even while you’re locked up here.”Elizabeth, settling into her chair, regarded them with a hint of doubt. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she replied, her eyes narrowing.Norah, her voice steady, added, “We’ve lost our freedom because of the rumors.
